Profession: Grocery Store Clerk (Formerly United States Marine Corps Infantryman)

Name: Nicholas Grayeson

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Appearance:


Backstory: Grayeson originally hails from the rural areas of northwest Louisiana, growing up with two other siblings. His father disappeared when he was only five, leaving his mother to take up the slack to feed her family. A tin shack with a dirt floor was his home for most of his life until his family moved in with his mother’s parents. His grandparents, taught him the old fashioned ways of living off the land and helping his fellow man. But the most important thing he remembers from an early age, is it was his patriotic duty to at least serve for his country. His grandfather, having been an Army infantryman and his father before him served with the Navy as a ship gunner.

During his time during school, Nicholas was deeply invested in his studies and sports; mostly notably football where he received a scholarship to play for LSU. However, an injury to his right knee forced him to reevaluate his plans after school. It was here he ran into a Marine Corps recruiter and his life changed forever. Remembering his lessons on patriotic duty from his grandfather, he decided to enlist as soon as his knee was healed. When this was all said and done, along with the papers signed; he reported for recruit training at Parris Island, NC.

Nicholas quickly proved through his time at boot camp that he was a promising leader and warrior for the United States military. When he graduated from his training, he followed on to the School of Infantry and trained to be a basic infantryman at Camp Geiger. During his time here, he was a squad leader and won the Honor Graduate award upon completion of training. When war broke out in the Middle East, he deployed and served a couple of tours with 3RD Battalion, 4TH Marines out of Twentynine Palms, CA. However, it was during this time that Nicholas began to see the horrors of the war and what it did to his fellow Marines. Some of his friends never made it home in one piece or some never came back at all. This started taking a toll on the young Grayeson, forcing him to turn to alcohol to cope with the nightmares he had from his deployments. His work ethic started to slip, his physical prowess faltered, and he didn’t seem to care what happened to him. All this occurred while in garrison, but in the field, he was his old self and always rallying his Marines.

Unfortunately, it all came crashing down when Nicholas’s then fiancé revealed she was pregnant, but with a fellow Marine from his unit. Outrage from this betrayal, he left their shared apartment with his pistol and bottle in hand; drove to the middle of the desert. His friends found him three days later, bottle in one hand and seven rounds discharged into his truck. One round was left in the chamber, but Nicholas had passed out before turning the weapon on himself. His friends quickly sobered him up, reported him to the medical facilities, and he spent time in an institution. No longer wanting to serve with the Marines, Nicholas left the service soon after and travelled the country. Eventually, he landed in the city a few weeks prior to the outbreak. Getting a job as a local grocery clerk, he found a sort of solace in this simple life and kept to himself when on and off work.

Tyson's skill improved a little bit day by day, at a point where the small city he lived in could not offered him a better position and salery. He decided to move out from his house and jumped into the big city, working in a famous hotel's kitchen where he will received three times the salary as a Sous Chef de Cuisine.

Tyson wasn't a typical chef in that he was skinny, surprisingly so. Yet in other ways he was perfectly typical. His opinion was the right one, always, no-one else could hold a valid point of view if it wasn't consistent with his own. He prowled the kitchen like a caricature of himself, the eyes popping more everyday and his mouth becoming thinner, tighter. He only ever let out a big smile when he tasted his own food.
