[color=39b54a][b]AGE:[/b][/color] 33

[color=39b54a][b]OCCUPATION:[/b][/color] Hunter

[color=39b54a][b]APPEARANCE:[/b][/color] Verelik usually wears a brown leather jacket everywhere he goes, fitted with a loose fitting white button-up shirt covered by a navy blue vest, along with a dark face mask he lives hanging around his neck when in the settlement. He stands at about 6 foot, with lean muscle gained from nothing but hunting. He keeps his facial hair somewhat trimmed, usually left as a thick stubble, and rarely keeps his hair tidy, preferring to simply comb his hair back with his hand as he's on the move. Verelik is hardly phased by many events, and tends to keep his thoughts to himself, though he shows slight emotion from events, be it amusement, sadness, or anger. He speaks with a deeper, masculine voice that shows a slight hint of sadness, and he usually puts on a slightly mixed sad but content smile around others.

[color=39b54a][b]FAMILY:[/b][/color] Verelik's only family is his 14 year old daughter Alyssa.

[color=39b54a][b]RELATIONSHIP STATUS:[/b][/color] Single.

[color=39b54a][b]FRIENDS:[/b][/color] Long-time friends with Astor, along with other hunters, in both Fireflies and Water Leafs. He would also appreciate the teachers, for taking care of Alyssa, and also Mayor Bellamy. Apart from that, he would be acquainted with the other's, though would not be on high friendly terms with them.

[color=39b54a][b]HOBBIES:[/b][/color] Besides hunting, he enjoys playing his guitar, and the company of Alyssa. He quite enjoys navigating and tracking in the wilderness, along with resource managing. He also likes to spend time at The Damn Pub, though on weekdays he will refuse a drink. Though he has extensive training in sniper rifles and firearms, he does not consider it a hobby.

[color=39b54a][b]BIOGRAPHY:[/b][/color] As a young kid, Verelik enjoyed exploring the settlement, and causing havoc like any troublesome kid would do. He loved hearing stories about the old world, and always enjoyed sneaking off to look at the Dam. His parents had two children, Verelik himself and his younger brother who was younger by 6 years. They had a quaint life, his father being a dam engineer and his mother being a doctor. For Verelik, however, he found it to be quite tiresome and boring, since his little brother was too young to really enjoy. Thus, his friendships began through school, where he became friends with the few kids of the settlement. One of these kids was Astor, who was three years younger than him. Verelik didn't want to be like his parents, being the troublesome kid he was, so quite frequently he hung out at The Damn Pub to meet with Astor, and together they slowly shared the same goal of becoming a hunter. He was a troublemaker, yes, but deep down he wanted to help the settlement, and clearly his shenanigans didn't phase anyone, because they saw it too.

Verelik lived his life quite normally, up until the age of 15, where he fell in love with a girl, and remained together up until they had an unplanned kid at 19. Reckless, his parents obviously thought, but no matter, the past had happened. Verelik was now a father, and thus began his childhood dream job of becoming a hunter. He received training in firearms, and he especially excelled with perception and dexterity. It wasn't long for him to become another useful supplier of food.

Half a decade later, at the age of 24, his life changed. Another raid by the Roaches, and the guards weren't quick enough. His family lived together in the one house, and they were the first to be attacked. Verelik hadn't even been in town; he was out in the forest hunting. He came home with a deer behind him, and while yesterday he had a loving mother and father, that day he had become an orphan. Most importantly to him, however, was the hardest change in his life. His parents, they were already old, and albeit he was upset they had passed, it was nothing compared to the loss of his wife, and his younger brother, who had recently become a guard at 18, and died protecting the lone survivor, Alyssa. 

Verelik knew he wasn't to blame. Many people told him this, in fact, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Deep down, however, he knew he could've stopped them, or at least tried. His emotional state drastically changed that year, and he become more of a recluse, much to Alyssa's dismay. For the next two years, Verelik hardly spoke, remaining in constant despair.

This changed, of course, as it always does in life. Verelik had fully understood the passing of his family, and slowly he began to mend himself. He still had his daughter after all. Coming up to his late 20s, Verelik had finally accepted the tragedy, and had become more positive, albeit he still spoke less than he used to. It was at this time Alyssa gave him a guitar, and together they bonded over learning the instrument. This was short-lived, however, as another raid caused some casualties among the guards, and getting slight PTSD, he decided to move to the Water Leafs settlement with Alyssa, who was sad to have left her friends.

He lived among the Water Leafs for just under a year, making friends with other hunters, and enjoying their so-called "New Life". Of course, happiness lasts for so long, and the Lover's Incident occurred. From that day, both he and his daughter received looks he could not even describe. For the sake of his daughter, he moved back to the Fireflies, which made only a slight improvement. Of course, Marcus Bellamy was happy for Verelik's return, along with his old friend Astor, but there was evidence of some members of the settlement who disapproved of Verelik's constant side switching, accusing him of being a spy or a double-agent. He brought up the point of moving away entirely, but his daughter wanted to stay, and it only took the sparkle in her eyes for him to agree. As of now, Verelik and his daughter have lived in Fireflies for only a couple weeks.
