He found his place in the broken world.
From far away, you might think Alan is a timid helpless man, but when dealing with a serious situation, he proves himself fully capable.
He has an unnaturally strong will, but has emotional weakpoints like everyone else.
On the outside, Alan gives off a blunt, sarcastic vibe, making a joke out of everything and often annoying those around him.
However, those who get past his outside often find he can be caring and generous.
Those he forms an emotional bond with, stay in his thoughts and heart forever.
A radio (Barely working), 1 Pocket knife, mostly empty wallet, and a cinch bag holding a canteen, one Beretta 90 (with 2 remaining rounds.) and a first aid kit.
Alan was a failure at normal life, day to day job, no car, distant family ties... When the blast went off and he finally lost everything, he found that surviving was a lot easier... Maybe a bit lonelier though, than day to day life.
