Bio: The son of a 4h generation Chinese woman and a well-off cargo ship captain, Timothy "Tiny Tim" Smith grew up in the suburbs in south Virginia. Tim had a normal childhood but his father would be gone for most of the year because of his job. Tim never despised his father for this. In fact, it was quite the opposite. He intended on being something akin to his father's image. He dreamed of exploring the world and visiting every spot on the planet. Every little gift that he received from his dad across the world would be a treasure for him.
As Tim grew up, his passion for adventure never died. When he graduated high school, he instead of doing his parent's wishes of going to college and getting a degree, bought plane tickets to go to Europe instead and planned on staying there. He's parent's though he was out of his mind but for Tim, it was the start of his life-long dream. He lived the Bohemian's life, singing on the streets with his guitar to earn a little money and hitchhiked from city to another. Though it got rough at times, Tim was non-the-less satisfied. That was when the disease first spread. At first, nobody seemed to take it seriously like Tim but then it spread more and more and it's effects became known to the public. Chaos broke out and anarchy swept the streets. Tim was at the time, stuck in Germany as all borders were closed and even as he tried to get in touch with the American embassy in Berlin, it was no use. Tim didn't have any way out and was on the brink of madness as he saw the corpses of the infected on the streets, other people going insane and the lack of rations from disorganized government workers. He soon found himself at the border between Germany and Italy in the Alps. He had heard that some group were giving out food to the needy.
This was when he found the Church of the Last Light. It was a Catholic church feeding everybody they could though by know, their rations were so few and so little that only a few bothered to travel there anymore. Tim came for the food but stayed because something in him that said his destiny was here. Whether it was his delusion from hunger, a desperation for a bit of order or simply a place to call home, Tim stayed and trained to be a monk. During the next five years, Tim learned everything that he could on how to be a priest and was thought how to handle a pistol and knife, how to forage in the wilderness as well as first-aid and emergency medical procedures. The bishop who lead the church, Father Andrew Boshmann, knew that for his disciples to stay alive and help others in this lawless world, they must learn how to defend themselves. After Tim's training, Boshmann sent him on a missionary expedition to the west, on what remained of the people of France. Tim gladly accepted and has set of to the west. In his time there, he goes from one encampment to the next, offering to spread the word of God n their community as well as trying to help with their problems. Tim is now in Paris, where the people are trying to rebuilt what they have lost.
