(not crazy about this picture, but hey)
Name: Matthew Schafer 
Age: 24
Gender: Male 
Faction: Survivor
Short History: Matt was only 4 when the world went to hell. Despite his parents being suburbanites with very little outdoors experience, Matt and his family managed to survive for nearly six years out in the wilderness of the Midwest. When Matt was only ten years old, both his parents went out to look for supplies and never came back. 

After nearly a week of living on his own in their family tent, a strange man came walking through. He was a giant, with a large woodcutters axe and a blank look in his eyes. He spoke very little, but he called himself Karl, and he claimed to be a follower of the old ways. Matt thought Karl was mentally handicapped, but he decided to follow the giant towards the east coast. Karl told Matt about the ways of Karl's forefathers. Karl believes that Ragnarok, the End of Times, was upon the world. Matt tried to make himself useful, and Karl liked him enough to teach him axe-work. 

One day, when Matt was still a young teen, Karl quietly passed away in his sleep. Since then, Matt has been making his way across the American Northeast, surviving as best as he could. 

Weapons:(Max of 3): 
Brunhilde (woodcutter's axe): [img]http://previewcf.turbosquid.com/Preview/2012/09/20__03_37_23/axeA03.jpgddee8b5f-213e-41bd-b806-07f1501d35c1Large.jpg[/img]
This two-handed axe belonged to Karl, but is now Matt's weapon of choice. It is fairly heavy, but Karl taught him how to control the axe's weight and swing it effectively.

Glock 9mm: A gun that Matt's father had given while Matt was still with his parents.

Other Equipment: A sturdy coat, some food and a half a bottle of painkillers

Anything Else: I know what you are thinking. No, I am not trying to bring a magical element into The Last of Us. Karl was just kind of crazy, not a magic shaman berserker. Ok, maybe a bit of a berserker, but not a superhero.
