|Character Sheet|
Name: Private First Class Hunter Monroe

Age: 24

Occupation: United States National Guard/Grocery store attendant. (Went in once a month for training refreshment for the national guard, and for his day job he stocked shelves.)

Nationality: Caucasian

Appearance:


Hunter stands just a sliver under 6 foot, with about average muscle tone to him. He has short dark hair with most of it seemingly poorly cut. He does have some facial hair but nothing of real note.

Overall the most outstanding feature you may find on him is one of many hats he likes to wear. Most of the time it is a simple camouflage hat, The rest of the time it's something he believes to be pretty awesome (Chances are the camouflage hat will be crammed in his bag somewhere if he has another one on).

Most of the time he wears a simple T-shirt and cargo pants to go with it, if it gets cold he'll add a simple jacket, if it gets really cold he's going to complain until he finds a winter coat. Then he will proceed to never take it off until it is warm, where he will lose it again. Only to start the cycle of Pants and T-Shirt. He also carries a small satchel on his side most the time. Even when forced to travel with almost nothing, he will always have that bag on him.

Place of Residence: He lived for much of his life in a small town in the middle of nowhere. And by nowhere, Central New York. He lived in a town where the population was actually smaller then it was over 200 years ago, and was most famous, for buckwheat pancakes. When shit hit the fan, he left and followed rumors of safe places, no matter where they led him.

Strengths:
1) Hunter is extremely familiar with firearms. Both experience from target shooting, and training in the National guard.
2) He has basic mechanical training and is a decent electrical engineer. To the point where it will work, legally allowed in buildings... no, but it will still work.
3) He spent much of his time looking up useless facts, though some of those facts have become useful in survival. Such as things as filtering water, creating electricity with minimal parts, and how to reload bullets (Which is a pain in the ass well moving around).
4) His experience in the National guard has provided Hunter with a set of skills that are useful now, more then ever.
5) Once he has a goal, he will work full force to achieve it. In his mind he sees himself as the unstoppable force, though with out a goal he's next to useless.

Weaknesses:
1) He's a hoarder, if he thinks it will be in anyway useful he will find space for it in his bag.
2) He is quick to make decisions. Which means in any situation where he is under pressure, he will just react tot eh heat of the moment. (ex: Hunter is tense as hell, he hears a noise, unloads a twelve gauge shotgun into the wall trying to kill noise) This is an exaggeration but it's here to get the point across.
3) His experience int he national guard... has downsides. In training they always teach you to aim for the chest, now if he is able to stay focused he can make the head shots still, though one wrong slip up he's likely to resort to his training and start unloading into the torso instead of the head.
4) He needs a goal. As long as he is working to something he can keep going. But with out one he's almost useless.

Belongings:






Personality: Hunter is one of those people who tries to get along with everyone. Is also one of those people who in times of panic will decide to make a joke to calm the situation, later realizing that was a stupid idea. When given the opportunity he can be one of the most caring people you will meet, when pushed to a point he will attempt to unleash a minor hell on you.

Other: Likes musics, can even play a guitar. Has a passion for trying to make things work, or get better.
