Name: Kerry Delroy.
Age: 34.
Gender: Male.
Classification: Criminal.
Appearance: Kerry stands at around six foot tall and has a strong, military build. Multiple scars run across both his arms and his upper and lower torsos, most of which are minor and unlikely to have caused a serious, life-threatening injury. His hair was, at one point, kept almost completely shaved, but has started to grow again after several weeks without access to a barber. His face is gaunt and angular and his two eyes are strikingly blue.
Clothes-wise, Kerry prefers smart, khaki cargo trousers and thick walking boots, with a brown, button-less t-shirt and a heavy camo-jacket one might use for camping. Matching what he mighty have worn in the military, Kerry keeps this style of attire even in 'civilian' life.
Personality: Stern and grizzled, Kerry sounds like a man thirty years older than he is. With wisdom accompanying the gaunt, low growl that is his voice, Kerry finds it somewhat easy to be taken seriously and treated with respect. Ironically enough, Kerry has a very strict hatred for criminals, but ultimately sees the world as a place of grey and moral bankruptcy. In his eyes, all men are criminals and heroes of equal measure; each story unique and each excuse just as valid.
In a world where no opinion can be considered right, where no cause can be considered more just than another, Kerry has developed a strong feeling of 'survival of the fittest'; making him not a 'survival nut' who stocks canned food and ammunition, but a man who believes that in order to win, one must want and desire victory with all his heart more than his opponent does; that the true measure of a man's worth is not what he has done, but what he did not do.
In his younger days, Kerry was a political activist trying to end corruption and though he has mostly given up on the belief that marching with a sign will make any difference, he still believes strongly in his personal opinions and is not afraid to fight for them. In Kerry, you will find a man who will do whatever it takes to survive and thrive.
Opinion on Culprit City: He harbours a dark hatred for it, but is ultimately not surprised that men and women wish for entertainment at the cost of the lives of their fellow man. He has a somewhat pessimistic view on humanity, believing all are capable of being monsters in equal measure and that it is only those who are honest about it that are worth trusting. He will try to make the best out of the situation; determined beyond all measure to survive no matter what the cost.
Criminal Conviction and History: A man raised first on the streets and then in the military, there's little that Kerry hasn't seen. He witnessed his first stabbing at 12, his first shooting at 15, then joined the military at 19 after years of poverty and near-homelessness. Exactly where Kerry came from, he won't say; it is likely somewhere in the US, however, in accordance with his east-coast accent and past service in the US military.
Kerry's military history is mostly uninteresting, with the exception of the fact he moved first from the US Army Rangers to what was likely Delta Force. Somewhere around the age of 30, Kerry left the military and joined the private security sector, essentially becoming a mercenary. This career lasted for around two years, with one deployment to the middle east before his incarceration.
Kerry's criminal charge is murder. U.S Army Captain John Lake was killed around 2 A.M on a friday after an altercation in a civilian bar on US soil; beaten severely and then his throat crushed under the weight of Kerry's knee. Shots had apparently been fired, but the question of whether John Lake shot at Kerry, or Kerry shot at Lake, or if they both shot at each other was never completely solved.
As a result of this crime, Kerry was essentially sentenced to execution by appearing on the new Culprit City; no doubt the judge of his hearing believed that such a heinous crime deserved a very public and violent death, making the new reality TV show the perfect opportunity to give the people the justice they demanded.
Special Skills: Military training, firearms training and expertise in the martial arts of Krav Maga. Kerry also has an above-average intelligence, is capable of assessing and adapting to situations quickly and is a veteran of violence, making him hardy in the face of danger.
