Personality: Calvin "Three Shoes" Jones is a man driven by a single mission; to kill every member behind his family's kidnapping and saving them. He is so single-mindedly devoted to his task he became and stayed homeless because it would be better to be movable and not as noticeable in his journey. Calvin is a braggart, as indicated by his title among the fellow vagabonds. However despite his hardships he is a jovial fellow, unless someone mentions his family.
History: The tale of Calvin "Three Shoes" Jones had been a rather monotonous and boring tale, detailing the story of an office drone in human resources. However his life would drastically change when a foul group came and kidnapped his family. One fateful Friday, Calvin returned to his abode after a long day of work. However, the door seemed as if it was already left slightly open. It was odd as whenever this happened, usually his wife would greet him shortly after. And it had not come to pass. Calvin in a wary mood slowly opened the door.
What he saw was a disturbingly empty room. It was void of sound, except the flickering of a few florescent lights and the static coming from the TV in the den. Puzzled and nervous, Calvin slowly made his way into the den. What he saw was the mutilated corpse of his dear Dachshund Barky, and a single note on the television. He quickly tore it off and read the parts in English he could.
"We have taken that which is ours.
Dare you find us?
Signed, the White Tigers."
The loss drove Calvin Jones to madness, as he then decided to devote his life to finding the men who ordered and perpetuated the kidnappings. He promptly left his house in shambles, and left behind all of his worldly possessions. Calvin began to cross the American Landscape from his New York lodgings, in order to find these 'White Tigers' and anyway that could help him stop them. He knew he needed a teacher, and he was determined to find one.
Eventually the rumors of the 'Blind Samurai' came to his ears. To a lucky few who provided three dollars and fifty cents to the samurai, he would take them under his wing and teach them the mythical art of karate. Few know why he was called the Samurai instead of the Karateman, but that is a legend for another story. In New Jersey, Calvin began to peddle others for just a few spare bucks. With a cardboard sign in hand that stated his cause, he began moving up and down the streets. Many simply ignored him in his plight, while others decided to take pictures of the 'crazed loon'. After two weeks he managed to collect four dollars, and with that he headed to the Dojo of the Blind Samurai Ryuichi.
What ensued was a lengthy three day training session, in which the Blind Samurai taught Calvin the ways of karate. Albeit it was more movie-esque and showy karate, but over-all it wasn't that bad of a deal for four bucks. Calvin left his master's dojo as he returned to his quest, armed with a new set of skills. However, unfortunately his mentor died of a heart attack while going on a daily stroll. So Calvin went on, and found out a promising lead while traversing through the state of Delaware. He found an illegal bingo parlor that was being used by some grunts of the White Tigers. But before he could personally go on a rampage of revenge, it was being attacked by the cops. However while one of the White Tiger goons was able to allude the authorities, he was not able to escape Calvin Jones. Calvin quickly beat up the goon and learned of the identity of a 'messenger' who just left New York after a successful kidnapping. He knew that this man, even if not the man who left the note at his house long ago, would certainly provide a useful lead to finding out more about this organization and find his family.
And now, his latest lead to find this Messenger has taken him to Savannah, Georgia. He will capture the Messenger, and he will find where his family is being held. And no mere zombie outbreak is going to stop him from fulfilling his mission. Verily, Calvin's quest shall be completed.
Other: He has a very particular set of skills, skills that were acquired over a very long career. These skills relate to bureaucracy and the white collar profession of human resources. He knows karate.
