Brief Bio
Before the whole crumbling of society as we know it, Joseph lived as a small thief, pickpocketing money and food whenever he could to make some extra dough and dinner for his family. His mother was a Zoologist and his father was a teacher, so they didn't make much money and Joseph wanted to help out. He quickly adapted to thievery and became quite sneaky and skilled with it, barely ever getting caught compared to when he first started stealing. He attended school but sometimes snuck out when he could to go steal some more.

When the chaos started, he quickly was able to steal lots of weapons, food, and other misc items, giving most of them to his parents while taking a knife and a pistol. The guns allowed their parents to defend themselves while he went off to steal, and his thievery helped avoid Hunters.

Not too long later his parents were taking shifts sleeping while he was off stealing, when his father fell asleep on his shift. Needless to say his parents were both easily found and killed, much to the distress of Jospeph. He quickly took all of his stolen goods and locked them with himself in a basement. During that day he was woozy and a few days later he passed out. When he awoke, he had the symbol on his hand and a need to continue living even though his parents died.

Background:

JT never knew his mother; she died giving birth to him. His father, despite the heartbreak, tried his level best to be a good dad regardless. And he was. He taught JT a lot of different things, but he mostly shared his knowledge. So at a very young age JT began learning skills for carpentry, crafting and mechanical repairing. He also went to school, as most other children did, but he dropped out before finishing high school because his father became terminally ill. For the next three years JT buried himself in textbooks to continue learning on his own time while he performed trade jobs for the locals to make money for medical costs. However, the day finally came when his father passed away. Distraught, and desperately wishing for a change of pace, JT left his hometown and aimlessly drifted from city to city for awhile. A year has passed since he first journeyed out into the world. And since, freakish things have been occurring; humans growing incredibly large and sightings of cannibalistic humanoids. JT has been trying to avoid all of that and just survive, living day to day. Well, until now...

Name
Adrian

Appearance
Thanks to the many years he has under his belt, Adrian looks very much like a Hunter himself, with sunken eyes and a curl, downturned mouth that does nothing but contribute to his already cadaverous look. He's beardless and sports close-cropped white hair, typical of someone his age, and has dark, harsh eyes that seem to spin wildly at every single stimuli offered to them. On top of his heavy build he wears a variety of checkered shirts that he carries along with him and raggedy jeans, whose many cuts and tears are equal to the amount their owner possesses on his face. He stands at just below six feet in height. Along with this, he carries around a relatively new, albeit quite worn, backpack that stores numerous objects of importance, including a gas mask and a flashlight.

Age
Mid-sixties.

Weapon
Along with his signature steel-toed boots that are capable of incapacitating others with a mere well-placed kick, Adrian tends to carry around whatever he can find scavenging in his expansive backpack, such as kitchen knives and a rusted hatchet.

Skills
Carpentry, brute strength, proficiency with a blade.

Positive Personality Traits
- Light eater.
- Outdoorsman.
- Thick-skinned.

Negative Personality Traits
- Short-tempered.
- Light drinker.
- Stubborn.

Background
Adrian hails from a relatively typical suburb just outside of the Rust Belt, where he volunteered as a sherif when he wasn't enjoying the spoils of a Midwestern retirement. He had served as medic in the Gulf conflict as a twenty-something following his enrollment in some backwater practitioner's school and, upon coming home, worked at a clinic as a general doctor. By the time he'd reached forty, he was a father to two and a recent divorcee, what with having a disloyal wife and all. Following his kids' enrollment and subsequent finishing of college, he moved from the generic East Coast city he'd spent the majority of his life westward, eventually settling in the aforementioned village. As of the outbreak, he's living alone, with his wife and kids being somewhere out east.
