Before the portal storms / Seven hour war:

Ryan Norms was born in Detroit living an average life, he was the only child in the family together with his mom and dad, as a child he was very energic. He never used any of the toys his parents bought for him, instead he preferred to be mainly outside running around and playing in the snow/exploring his surroundings. Ryan kept his energy as he grew up, often participating in sport-contests at school. He always managed to get on the top-three. And had won several times, depending on the sport. When Ryan became 20, he went in the military. He stayed for about 5 years before he decided to get a calmer job. He applied for a night guard job at a popular museum in Detroit. He was accepted and worked there for 7 years, having to deal with intruders several times.

During the portal storms:

At the night when Ryan was patrolling in the museum, a large explosion in the roof knocked him over, and he started hearing screams and gunfire outside the museum. He got up quickly and saw a terrifying creature in the front of the exit that seemed to be a head with legs, he grabbed his gun and killed the creature after several tries. He then ran outside and saw the city in chaos. Building were crushed and burning. Citizens were running around the streets with the strange creatures on their heads screaming and bleeding. Other citizens seemed unaffected by the creatures on their heads, and were instead attacking the police that were scattered across the city. Ryan helped the cops shoot the creatures but coulden't make himself shoot the attacking citizens, he avoided them instead. After a while Ryan ran out of bullets, and sprinted to his car. He drove out of the city and turned on the radio. He heard about the military securing certain cities from the strange creatures. When he arrived to the closest defended city he asked for his parents. They were dead.
Ryan was crushed, and was depressed a long time, until he got over it and started joining the other citizens rebuilding and helping with the city's general state. Until something even worse happened...

The seven hour war / after the seven hour war

As the combine invaded earth and attacked all secured cities, it didn't take long before they were conquered and Wallace Breen surrendered earth. All military forces and defenses of earth were destroyed or surrendered. And all citizens had the same job: none. Ryan was transferred to City 2. Where he didn't stay for long, he barely lived there for a month before getting transferred to City 18. Here he was getting less food and worse treatment. Because of this reason, and because of memory loss and propaganda he decided to applicate to the Combine Civil Authority. To help the "nice" aliens that ensured him safety and survival.
