THE BOSS ☠ SAINTS ROW ☠ 2/2

[overtaking]

Saints Row: The Third
☣ After working with the new head CEO of Ultor, in exchange for protection, the Saints build upon their enterprise and enter into the media in full force. Clothes, shoes, movies, TV shows, advertisements- everything is built for money on their name.
☣ But it gets boring after a while, and Shaundi, Johnny, the Boss, and a new recruit by the name of Josh Birk go ahead and rob a bank to spice things up a little.
☣ Things go south when the plan backfires, sending in a team of SWAT and policemen on the Saints. They try to escape by lifting the vault of the bank up and out of the place via helicopter, but the chopper gets shot down and they end up getting arrested.
☣ A few hours later, the Boss, Shaundi, and Johnny contemplate what the Saints name used to mean, and are forced onto a plane flying over Steelport. On there, they meet a man by the name of Phillipe Loren who runs the Morning Star and is part of a group called the "Syndicate." The group is made up of three gangs- The Morning Star, the Deckers, and the Luchadores. In exchange for their lives, the Saints have to hand almost 3/4ths of their earnings each month over to the Syndicate to be spared.
☣ Johnny says fuck you and breaks free of his bindings, getting the Boss and Shaundi free as well. He then heads towards the cockpit and flies the plane, only to be killed moments later as the aircraft nosedives and sends the two women rolling out of the landing bay and into the open sky below.
☣ After shooting a shitton of Morning Star as she freefalls from the plane, and then rescues Shaundi, she notices how the airplane is still heading directly towards the two. As an idea, she says to Shaundi "Promise me you won't hold this against me, sweetie," and promptly drops her again. Then she goes flying through the cockpit window of the airplane, shooting down more Morning Star, stealing a parachute from one of their backs, and blowing the entire thing to pieces once she gets through. Then, she goes after Shaundi again and saves her.

"Told you I'd make it."
"You're a fucking asshole!"
"Haha, true!"
☣ To try and destroy the gang entirely, the Syndicate has the Deckers hack into the Saints' bank account and effectively wipe out their money. This does not bode well for the Boss, and the Luchadores are sent out to kill her and the rest of the gang.
☣ But the Boss has another idea, and tells Shaundi they need guns. Shaundi says the only way to get some is to raid an armory, because they have no money, and the Boss takes this as a great idea and drives over to the nearest armory in Steelport and starts blowing shit up to arm her and the group.

This is where I'll be pulling the Boss from, close to the beginning of Saints Row: The Third canon.

Personality:

So here's a hypothetical question you should ask yourself in getting to know Saint's Row: say you have a bunch of stuff in front of you, and want to mix it together to see what you get. What would you get if you took some nails, a hammer, baking soda, an energy drink, a phone, an iPod, a pair of panties, some meth, and some change- and then proceeded to shove them all into a blender at once?

Well, for starters, the blender would probably spark and explode, sending out all the baking soda/meth/energy drink-covered paraphanalia and dangerous flying objects into anything nearby. Meaning walls would be punctured, people might get hurt, things would be a mess, and the sparks might even cause a fire. Then you'd get in trouble, possibly arrested, or even worse. Would you hide? Scatter? Try to clean up the mess and apologize? Not in this storyline, you don't. You can't bring yourself to give a single fuck about the damages, or whoever was hurt as a result. Instead, you find it absolutely fucking hysterical.

This is essentially the Boss in a nutshell. She is a ruthless, cold, calculating, manipulative, sadistic and sociopathic bitch in heels. Everything she does is for her own, or her gang's, personal gain. As the head of the 3rd Street Saints, it's her job to take care of its followers, and to gain income in whatever way possible. In either Stilwater or Steelport, the cities are run by drugs, sex, violence, and money, all of which the Boss is in control of.

And while most people may think the heads of gangs sit on their ass in plump chairs and do nothing all day, it's the exact opposite with her. She chases after policemen, uses them as human shields against bullets, and then breaks their necks. She piledrives wrestler gangs in the face and grins like it's the best thing ever. The woman headbutts government soldiers and throws molotov cocktails at them for fun. The Boss even has a rocket launcher and blows up cars and helicopters just for shits and giggles. She has absolutely no morals, no care for innocent people, and if you accuse her of causing issues/damaging others, she will basically look at you like you're stupid, and proceed to go "...And your point is?" She does not give a fuck about what others think of her, especially if they're the goody-goody type. As long as she's respected and feared, then things are okay.

Besides being a sociopath with no care for others, the Boss has a major tendency to cause chaos wherever she goes. Whether it's falling out of a plane and freefall shooting gang members as she plummets to earth, hijacking government owned vehicles and bringing them back to her crib so they can be new toys to blow shit up with, killing zombies with a sonic wave gun and punching them down the road with her bare fists, or even sneaking on board STAG property and blowing it to hell, she never goes quietly or leaves without a bang. It's not in her nature to be subtle.

But despite having the knack for enjoying killing people and being the literal meaning of 'havoc', not all of the Boss' actions are cruel or heartless. She will do anything for those in her gang, whether it's acting like a sex slave to get ho's for Zimos and take over the Morning Star's stronghold (of which she highly protested at first because of obvious reasons), to changing her own gender to get into STAG's headquarters and free Shaundi, she will do anything and everything to save her homies. If you prove to be worth the risk, she will be loyal as hell to you, and will have your back at just about anything.

Another point to argue is that while she's known to run over people with vehicles, blow up buildings, steal ho's, and ride around with a fucking tiger in her car, the Boss does grant mercy now and then. A good case of this would be when she goes to face the head of the Decker's gang, Matt Miller, and ends up beating him in his own program. Instead of killing him then and there, he pleads with her to let him go, and in return, he'd get himself and the Deckers out of Steelport entirely. She agrees, and he's allowed to live. There's also the point where the Boss has Killbane, the head of the Luchadores, cornered in a wrestling match. He strikes a bargain with her to let him go, so she can gain the Apocafists (which quite literally blows up cars with one punch, and pulverizes people with one hit). She does, grants him mercy, and tells him to tap out. So not everything in the game is done with cruel intentions- more like 3/4ths of it.

In addition to this and the whole "not caring about anyone else" attitude, she's one who can get pissed off and swear to high heaven if she's mad. The woman has a habit of fucking with whoever she wants, and when they start fucking back, it's not a good sign. Call her names and insult her? She'll be irked, call you names and taunt you right back, but in the end shrug it off. Push her around and tell her to leave? She will purposely stay there just to be annoying. But try to ruin her reputation as well as the gang's? She will find you, cut off your dick, shove it down your throat, and while you're laying there in pain and agony, she will kill everyone else you love in front of you before finishing you off. It easily goes without saying that you do not insult the Boss' reputation. It's a bad idea overall. So is interfering with her plans in any way, because then that makes you a target that she will relentlessly go after.

The Boss is, simply put, a villain. She has no redeeming qualities and could not give a rat's ass about them even if she tried. Everything is about her and her gang- and if it doesn't involve them in some way, it could burn to the ground in a spectacular explosion and she would not give two fucks about it. She is a terrorist, one who overtakes places because that's what she does, and it never bothers her if she's hurting others in the process. If it's for gain, then everything else can go to hell.

Other:

Saints Row is known to break the fourth wall quite often, and the Boss is known to actually be meta in her own game. So she's like Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes, only more foul-mouthed, sociopathic, and without morals.

First Person (entry type):

Wow, this is fucking pathetic, that you're asking me to help you remember this shit. Really? No, I'm serious- really? You should all know this by now, and I am not pop-quizzing your asses to make you keep it in your head.

[A sigh to show how she's annoyed at the fact that no one knows her.]

You've got to be shitting me... Okay, so some of you are either blind, deaf, or retarded, and guess what? I really don't care which. You're gonna learn about this one way or another.

Here's the deal. Since some of you don't know your heads from your asses, you better listen up and pay the fuck attention. I'm only gonna explain this once. Most of you don't know the Saints. So, you're either living in a backed up piece of shit sewage that you call a home, you don't watch TV or listen to the radio- and by the way, you're a dipshit if you don't- or your parents dropped you on the head as a kid a few times. It's okay if you have to admit it, I know that saying you have a problem is the first step to making things better.

Or something like that. Whatever.

Let me educate you on the Saints. It'll be quick and painless.

One. The Saints are my gang. I go by Boss. No other names. We run Stilwater and Steelport, if I have anything to say about it. You wanna run your mouth by me? Fine. I'll give you a personal welcome with my fist up your ass if I ever see you.

Two. Don't fuck with the Saints. You mess with them, you mess with me. And you don't want to fight a lady like me, especially if you piss me off. I will make your life a living hell and make you wish you were never born.

Three. We're taking over this fucking city whether you want it to happen or not. Don't like it? Too bad, I couldn't give any less of a fuck if you did. Deal with it.

That's it. See? Simple. Any problems, bring them to me. I'll guarantee a special spot for you to kiss my ass.

Third Person:

It wasn't hard to recognize where she was at this point- figuratively speaking.

This wasn't home, and because it wasn't home, no one knew her, the Saints, or her rules. Well, fuck. It was like when she woke up from that goddamn coma and had to take over Stilwater again. From the douchebags who thought they could best the Saints, no less. Ronin, Brotherhood, Sons of What-the-fuck-ever-name-it-was-that-she-did-not-give-a-shit-to-say-at-all-- who the fuck cared, she'd killed all of them and even littered the streets with Ultor's head businessman's innards. It was a warning, and one a ton of people took to heart afterward:

Don't fuck with the Saints.

Now, all she could do was wonder how much of a moron this French fuck- he had said he was Belgian, who the fuck cared now anyways- really was, to try and think he could better her. Hell, this whole "Syndicate" bullshit was absolutely pathetic, demanding she pay for robbing a bank, and keep paying this group in order to keep her life.

Obviously they had no idea who they were fucking with. Sure, they had hinted at the Saints being a franchise, but the gang knew better. They always had. Born on the streets, raised on the streets, and die on the streets- life was hard, but they knew how to live it, and live it in a way that would make the entire group proud.

But apparently these assholes, the Syndicate, were expecting her to roll over and beg like a bitch. What, did they honestly believe she- the Boss of the 3rd Street Saints- would grovel on her knees and plead for her life? Fuck. That.

She knew it was going to be difficult, at least for now. It always was, when you first started out. With Johnny gone and only Pierce and Shaundi with her currently, her resources were limited. But the Boss was the Boss. If anything, she always had a plan. And for this? She did. This one was a takeover, and it was going to make the Syndicate and Steelport regret ever bringing her around.
