Granola eating nature man to the rescue!
Skills: An acclaimed author and explorer guy, Winchester makes a modest living off of book sales and the occasional lecture. He has made a small name as a survivalist, and has a number of talents related to this trade. When he's not ass deep in the woods, he has a love for travel, having been to most of the US at some point or another. This has given him an uncanny knowledge of local folklore and just where to get the best food. Win has some proficiency with boxing, and has maintained a good deal of his fitness through a good deal of hiking and yoga. He is a terrible cook, so bad, in fact, that it's a noteworthy talent. His ability as a singer is somewhat better off, although he has never received any professional training whatsoever. Finally, he knows a lot of mindless trivia, which is great for long car rides.
History: The grandchild of a Nazi escaped to Brazil, Winchester was born to two particularly strident parents who in their child saw nothing but a chance to reform past mistakes. He was sent to a preparatory school in Winnipeg, Canada, where he toiled ceaselessly under the regimented fist of education. Despite his captor's firm rule, he developed a love for nature and exploration, and would often sneak off grounds to the forests nestled into the city. With his initial education done, he broke ties with his family and enrolled at the Northwestern Illinois University, where he double majored in English and Philosophy. There, under Brockenbohn's guidance, he wrote his first book: The Earth Beneath MY Feet, and immediately developed a small celebrity among the "green" circles. After college he traversed much of the U.S.A., writing, learning, and growing; in many ways he was a new-age Jack Kerouac. On the final leg of his new book's press junket, Brockenboch's letter reached Win and, always happy to pay his professor a visit, happily obliged the RSVP.
