Physical Description:

Bruce stands at 5'10 and 175 lbs. His build is athletic but not bulky or super muscular. He has trimmed but slightly unkempt brown hair and a highly groomed beard that he takes a lot of pride in. His eyes are hazel and the left side of has several long scars across his cheek. He typically wears plain and warm clothing with some jewelry here and there. He has assorted tattoos down his arms and on his chest.

Age: 25
Relationship with Hildon: 

Bruce was born in Hildon and went to school there before joining the army to go fight people he knew nothing about. If you'd ask him now, he'd say he couldn't even remember why he did it. When his contract was up he came back to Hildon, a different man than the one that left...

Occupation: 

Officially? Bruce is listed as a tour guide. Which isn't untrue, he does give tours to people visiting the area. Only problem is Hildon isn't exactly a bustling center of commerce so Bruce turned his eye to...other methods of making money. Poaching, running and trading supplies for the black market all around New Hampshire and farther up the east coast, even working security for a few less than savory deals. His "business" takes him out of town quite a bit. He's only been back for two years but he's made a lot of connections and a decent amount of cash in that time. Which is why this blizzard is particularly vexing.

Useful Supplies: 

Cold Weather Outfit: Being that a lot of his work takes him into the wilderness, Bruce is well acclimatized and wears a warm but mobile outfit. Nothing like the big, lumbering marshmallows that visit here.

Hatchet: A custom made hatchet that Bruce uses for a multitude of things. He never goes anywhere without it.

Backpack with first aid kit: Never know what kind of trouble you're gonna get into, especially if you're Bruce Baker, so best to be prepared.

Backstory: 

Bruce was born on July 5th, 1984 in Hildon, NH. His father was a ranger and his mother a nurse at the local hospital. The two didn't exactly get along and Bruce grew up in an explosive family environment until they finally divorced when he was 13. During that time, he tried to get out of the house as much as possible. He ran with the other poor or neglected kids, a combination of natives, trailer trash, and miscreants. Though Bruce was smart, he always struggled in school and he would much rather skip classes and tear the town up than sit in Algebra 2. But around his junior year, he realized that if he didn't pass highschool on time, he would have a tough future. So he put his head down and grinded classes out and was able to graduate in 2001.

Then 9/11 happened.

Bruce felt the collective rage of America and wanted to do something about it. But more than that he wanted to get the hell out of Hildon. Though he graduated his GPA was low and he didn't want to think about how he was gonna get into college. So he enlisted in 2002 and was on a bird to Afghanistan by the end of the year. His story in the army was the same as the other thousands of soldiers who went into that part of the world, ignorant of people and culture and ignorant of their own leader's intentions but ready to kill nonetheless. The experience gave Bruce some needed perspective and when he was able to visit his Hildon on leave, he found he enjoyed the experience. But he wasn't ready to truly return home. Not yet. He deployed to Afghanistan twice. He returned early on his second deployment, after narrowly avoiding death by a grenade that still shredded up the left side of his face.

After that, he was ready to return to Hildon. Bruce rolled back into town in 2007, five years after he left. And Hildon was the same as ever. He supposed small towns never really changed...[/hider]
