Biography/Background story:

Neil was born and raised in the Scienta section of Trinea to educated and sophisticated parents who wanted to see their legacy carried on through a child. Much to their joy, Sophia's pregnancy brought twins into the Watson household. Born only 37 seconds apart, Neil and Lam were inseparable during childhood. They would dress the same, not so much by their own preference but rather their mother's, which they used to their advantage to help one another and confuse other people. The only distinction between the two was Neil's prominent widow's peak, hidden by a messy haircut both boys sported.

As they grew older and aged into their teens, the two began to display many more differences as they changed their appearance and developed different senses of style and grew interested in different areas. As the older son, even if ever so slightly, Neil was supposed to become a doctor/scientist for Scienta and lead the team that creates a cure for the zombie outbreak, and Lam was meant to be one of his co-workers. Neil, however, had other ideas. He developed a passion for sport, football in particular, and he was damn good at it, carrying his team to victory four years consecutively. After suffering from a femur fracture, he was unable to play for the rest of the season, resulting in a heavy depression and taking up drinking as a hobby. While never developing alcoholism, Neil became distant from his family and continued to drift further and further away from his likely career as a scientist. By now he had become a recluse, drinking a half-pint bottle of bourbon whiskey a few times each week almost religiously. He didn't enjoy the sensation of drinking alone, and in an effort to impress people while in a drunken state he tore off a street sign with relative ease, showing off his power. This went well with the strangers, but he was later detained at a police station where he was fined for the damage and warned for impeding an officer in his line of duty. The officer was lenient and decided not to charge him with the indictable offence as this would limit his career prospects in the future, potentially preventing or delaying a cure to be found. Neil decided to stay in the station gaol for the night, as he knew his parents would have been less than impressed if he were to show up drunk in a police vehicle.

It took only a few days after his drunken incident, but Neil had finally found a profession he was interested in. He wanted to become a police officer. He proudly presented this development to his parents, who were nothing short of ashamed and disappointed that their eldest would-be prodigal son would rather "walk around with a gun than save the world." Upset at his parents for not supporting him in his decision, Neil left home and slept in the streets of Scienta for two nights. After deciding he should find a place to stay and pursue his desire to become an officer; Neil remembered his glory days of being a successful rising star in football, and figured one of his previous team mates would gladly give him a bed to sleep in. The only address he remembered was only three blocks from his house, and belonged to his best friend in high school - Timothy McGrath. As he arrived he discovered that the McGrath's had moved, luckily the new tenants were friends of the family and knew where they moved - to central Trin. With a thank you Neil left the house and went back to his own home. Climbing a big oak tree, he sneaked through his bedroom window and filled up two sports bags with clothes and what little money he had in his room. He decided to leave his family a note on his bed, detailing how he feels towards them for how they reacted to his decision, that he's sorry he wasn't the son they wanted him to be and apologised to his brother, still one of his closest friends, for leaving him to deal with the "dictators of the household".

So began his trip. It took a further two days to get from his house to the McGrath's new address. On the way he slept at a bus station and a gas station over the two nights, where he found his distinguishable tan stetson cowboy hat. Since then he's been asked numerous times how he got the hat, to which he replies: "No story, I just tried it on and it fit." Upon arrival to his friend's new house, he was welcomed with open arms by his family who had always been fond of him. They agreed that a police officer is a great career path and he should pursue it, and that their house was open to him as long as required.

Neil graduated from the police academy with an average score, a high aptitude and moderate physical fitness, with notable performance in situational awareness. He is currently an officer in Trin and holds no grudges against Scienta or Grinï, however he is not afraid to get physical and often goes awry from the normal protocol for dealing with criminals. After a few short years in service his peers discovered his quick-draw speed and hip-fire accuracy, and dubbed "Doc" in reference to John "Doc" Holliday, the infamous gunslinger from almost 200 years prior.
