Gas Mask Description:
Job: Cato, doesn't remember exactly what he did before the end. All he can remember is walking in a lot of forests, and spending a lot of time outdoors in the mountains and dealing with animals.
Personality: Cato is a quiet sort (who isn't these days) except for his habit of almost constantly whistling to himself. In the few instances where he's had cause to interact with others they tend to notice the whistling first and the man second. Beyond that he's a relatively jovial sort, least given what's happened, though that might stem partly from his lack of memory regarding events before the end.
Story: Cato doesn't remember much from before the end. He remembers a tall strong looking man sitting the other side of a fire smiling at him under the stars. He remembers driving along a mountain road in the dead of night gazing up at the moon from his truck. He remembers climbing a mountain side whilst a woman looked down at him and a small boy climbed behind him.
The last thing he remembers from before the end was a bright flash on the horizon and then being struck from behind. Next thing he knew he awoke in a hut with maps on the wall, and pamphlets that he couldn't read as they'd mostly been burnt in the fireplace. He spent the next few days getting supplies together, until his truck ran out of petrol, and then he began to wonder back. Back where he didn't know, but back somewhere...
Strengths/Weaknesses: Whatever he did before the end it certainly kept Cato in good shape. Compared to many of the people that try to survive now he's strong, agile, and used to hardship. He's also rather handy with a rifle and other basic survival skills. That being said, his rather simple nature means that he often ends up getting exploited, least until the pieces finally click, at which point his rifle really comes in handy.
Philosophy: If Cato was an educated man he'd probably call himself a stoic. He sees little point in worrying about things beyond his control and does his best to get on with the here and now. Questions of what comes next are things he'll deal with when the time comes.
Strange Behaviors: Whistling, constantly... Cato seems to have hundreds of simple tunes stashed away in his head. Although the mask and filter often distorts his tunes he still persists none the less. In addition every hour on the dot, no matter what he's doing Cato seems to check a silver pocket watch that he keeps in his coat pocket. He's not sure why it's so important that he does this mind, he just knows that he needs to do it.
Favorite Thing: The watch he carries always seems to cheer Cato up. He's not sure why, but he knows that it's important, and that if he lost it he'd be losing more than just a watch.
Skills: Hunting and survival are things Cato seems to have a knack for. He's not up for anything complicated mind, a simple gas mask, and a simple rifle is enough for him. If you need to build a shelter, start a fire, or put a round through a mutant's eye Cato's your man. Want to get an old car moving, or make that electronic box stop bleeping, well... you're asking the wrong man.
STARTING EQUIPMENT: In addition to his long coat, gas mask, and simple clothes Cato carries a few odds and ends on his person.
- .308 Hunting Rifle
- Silver Pocket Watch
- Hunting Knife
- 9mm pistol
- Hip Flask
- Bandages
- Winding Torch
Cato doesn't carry much food or water, typically no more than three days. He prefers to rely on his ability to find more rather than slow himself down by stockpiling.
