Name: James C. Houston
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Personality: Quiet, shy, calm, kind and brave.
Physical Appearance: James is a small man, of around 5'6, and has a wiry build. He keeps his head and face shaven, as often as he can. He has a gaunt face, sunken brown eyes and black eyebrows. He wears a one piece set of black work overalls, and over these, he wears a leather welder's apron. He also wears a pair of safety goggles over his eyes.
Family: James comes from a big family, with two loving parents and six other siblings. He doesn't talk about any of them though, because they are dead, and he has spent his time alive trying to forget his past life.
History: James has always been an underachiever, from childhood to adulthood. In school, he was an able pupil who grasped the subject matter well, but lacked the drive he needed to achieve good grades. Though despite his lack of motivation, he still managed to pull through with a mix of B's and C's - enough to get him into higher education. However, he simply had no interest in doing much with his life, and so his father sent him to go and work at a local cement factory.
Like in school, James proved to be a capable worker who outshone most, but lacked the enthusiasm he needed to climb the ladder. As a result, he has spent 8 years labouring away at brain-numbing conveyor job.
His family were butchered by a military death squad in the early days of the crisis, and James was left for dead. However, over the span of weeks, he was able to recover from the worst of his injuries and survived in the loft of an abandoned house at the end of his road. There he turned to impromptu-meditation, spending hours a day focusing on his breathing and the sound of falling rain, as he attempted to restore some level of sanity.
Now he has fully recovered, but is low on food. The time has come for him to tackle the world anew, or die trying.
Skills: Can calm himself in a crisis through breathing techniques, sometimes.
Gear: Black work overalls, leather welder's apron, safety goggles, tyre iron.
Goal: To escape the city, and to find some quiet place deep in the country free from danger.
