β¦ Describe Physical Appearance β¦
At 5"9' he's not the tallest guy around, however this has never particularly been the kind of thing that bothered him as despite his stature he still weighs in at 180 pounds. Broad shoulders and a deep chest as well as the musculature of someone who lives outdoors and fights for a living give him his weight. His stocky frame is often used to his advantage, back when he used to play rugby a low center of gravity powerful legs and high mass meant he could run through tackles. Nowadays it means he can carry a heavy pack, kick through a door or put a powerful bullrush on an assailant. Mid length blonde hair and a beard of the same colour frame a tanned face. His eyes are extraordinarily blue and set on either side of a nose that at looks like it was broken on at least one occasion. Crows feet around his eyes show that he used to smile a lot, But it's been a while since he's had cause to do that.
β¦ Tattoos? Birthmarks? Scars? β¦
Scar on the bridge of his nose (hockey with his brother)
Various scars on his hands from assorted chores outside, scrapes burns etc
A long shallow cut on one arm that's currently in the process of healing
β¦ Clothing Description β¦
Quick-dry Cargo Pants with belt of woven paracord (unwoven it's 40 ft). His treeplanting boots have a steel toe and steel plate making them very hardy if a little heavy. What he wears on his torso varies depending on conditions etc, Anything between no shirt to 2 layers a fleece and a rain jacket. In addition to this he has his oil skin hat and the shemag (basically a huge bandana) his father brought back form Afghanistan
Bones mend, Cuts heal. Regret? That stays with you forever.
β¦ Personality β¦
Years ago and miles away he was a happy smiling person. However he's been out on his own for the better part of the year, his friends and family have died. Life for him has been a crucible and it has burned away the soft parts. He talks little and smiles less. He's been a loner for so long it's become second nature, he's used to looking out for himself and doesn't need anyone's help. Because he's been on his own he has a very hard time trusting or getting used to other people. He can come across as cold and emotionless or calculating and sometimes he is, but at the same time he has a driving tendency to help those people he considers his friends. He is fiercely, savagely protective of those he considers friends.

β¦ Brief Background β¦
Growing up outdoors with his family he chalked well over 4000 km of canoe tripping distance, this included a 2 month self sustained canoe trip in the arctic. At his farm he and his cousins learned to shoot an old Winchester .22 that they had found. He taught himself how to trap and snare and identify some wild plants. The outbreak started when he was in University in Kingston Ontario. He hid upstairs in his house for 5 days until eventually hunger drove him out, he managed to scavenge weapons and ammunition of the dead soldiers of the local Reserve Regiment. After that he proceeded to his farm where the rest of his surviving family would gather. Despite their being isolated eventually they were invaded in force and could not withstand the onslaught. He fled south with several of his relatives and cousins, after just over 2months later all of them were dead, he personally shot his last cousin who was bitten. After that he walked and survived going south by himself for some time until he eventually made it near Boston.
