Okay, see, now that's just bad. 

I had in mind to do a former criminal - Hitman/assassin type that was now just trying to make it. Not a Dexter Morgan, serial killer, but a professional "troubleshooter" with employers and the like. Maybe that's too OP, I'm not sure. 

I've also looked at an Outfitter/Backpacker store clerk, who's got some time out in the bush, with perhaps some military experience from years prior. 

I've thought about doing a Nat'l Guard Rifleman, last of his/her unit just trying to link up with another command element. 

I've thought about doing a patrol cop that has kind of gotten caught out and is trying to link up with the military or law enforcement, and maybe help out anybody he/she can along the way. 

I've also thought of a Con Artst or Espionage Agent - might feel like of like a greasy Used Car Salesman type, that you don't quite fully trust, but you have to trust at least some if you wanna make it out. Charming, funny, but is about as hard to kill as a New York City cockroach in a corner under a cabinet. Not because of being super-tough or anything, just... slippery scumbag. Anybody who's watched Burn Notice should know exactly who I'm talking about.

I've thought about cloning myself and throwing in, just to see if I personally could make it. (I really doubt. Despite my knowledge and skills, my physical abilities are... nowhere near what they need to be or used to be). 

I've also thought about playing a biker from The Reapers MC. I've thought about playing a Kendoka (kendo practitioner) and I've thought about a historical weapons specialist from the Smithsonian. 

Lots of ideas.
