[b]Backstory:[/b] 
	Nelson had always loved the outdoors thanks to his fathers love for it also making it only natural that he had wanted to have an occupation outdoors. That was what created his want to be a park ranger, he liked to help people and he was in the outdoors perfect combination. Nelson once used to be quite a trustworthy person until one day the new guy that he was training had been examining his rifle when one day they had been approached by a mother black bear whom they later realized was looking for her cub. However when they needed to defend themselves the new guy panicked and took off running with his rifle leaving Nelson unable to defend himself. Nelson ended up using his training and played dead and luckily the bear didn't take his life, only his leg. After that day he still helps people as a park ranger but he doesn't train or trust anyone. 

  	When the outbreak started Nelson had been out on patrol in the park like any normal day (no he didn't stop being a ranger since he lost his leg) When he had come across someone who had been covered in blood and limping and Nelson naturally assumed that it was someone who had injured themselves and had come looking for help. It wasn't until he called in for help and heard no response that he thought something might be up since they always had someone near the radio incase of emergencies. Nelson had approached the person and immediately got bad vibes and noticed that he had something in his teeth that resembled flesh. This was the first time that Nelson had ever fired a shot outside of a training scenario or qualifications and it was the second worst feeling he ever experienced. 
	
	Nelson has been living off the land, sleeping in trees thanks to his sleeping bag, rope and harness. He sometimes gets lucky and stumbles upon a cabin to rummage through and stock up on small supplies, but he has been avoiding going to more populated areas fearing of what is out there especially given how many of the undead that have been straggling out in the woods he doesn't imagine that large areas will be much better. It has been changing seasons and currently in mid November Nelson knows that he needs to find somewhere to survive since he knows that it is nearly impossible to survive a whole winter outside. Nelson had thought that if he travelled south for long enough that he would find something since he knew the limits of the forest but never needed to travel this far down. One day Nelson had found a trail that continued south further, this excited him since most paths like this lead somewhere. That was when Nelson spotted the steeple of a church! 

[b]Other:[/b] Nelson is a heterosexual. He might be a amputee but he has gone through full physiotherapy and has a fully functioning prosthetic leg.
