Bio: Kuzma was born just outside of Ryazan on his father’s farm. His mother died during childbirth and he grew up with his father with only his father for guidance who intended Kuzma to become a farmer and take over the family farm when he grew up. Kuzma had other plans though after he discovered his fascination with rifles. His father first taught him to use a rifle when a fox had gotten into their chicken coup; Kuzma took to the rifle like magic. He bothered and annoyed his father practically every day to let him use it even if it were just to shoot cans. His father often took Kuzma hunting when he grew older and soon after, Kuzma went on his own. 

When he was able to leave his father’s farm legally he did so, much to the disappointment of his father. He left for St. Petersburg and lived there for a few months before joining the military. He excelled through the ranks as a sniper and was eventually offered a position within the elite Spetsnaz division. It took a lot of time for Kuzma to mull it over, he had heard about the rigorous and painful training. He did eventually accept though and later wished he hadn’t. His training was just as painful as he had heard, he learned a lot, but he also got hurt a lot. He was as ready as ever when he was put into duty. His sniping skills had been honed and he now knew how to defend himself in unarmed combat. 

His military career went rather well up until a point. The squad he was in completed every mission to perfection mostly, up until their last one. They were doing a stealth ops mission in the Middle East to rescue a Russian hostage. They were ambushed just as they had captured the hostage, who turned out to be one of the terrorists themselves. They were captured and tortured for information. All but Kuzma died. He barely survived in time for rescue to arrive. He was airlifted out as another Spetsnaz unit eliminated the terrorists and was sent home as soon as he had recovered enough. He discovered that his father had taken ill in his absence and was close to death. He gave his blessing to Kuzma to run the farm and died a few days later. Kuzma decided to settle down in the farm and live a normal life for a while. That is until the apocalypse hit.

Kuzma wasn’t hit all that hard when the virus first appeared. As it went on though, it started to affect his animals. They began to die and spread their vile disease onto other animals. Soon enough, all Kuzma had were his crops, which weren’t nearly enough to pay for the running of the farm. He was ‘lucky’ that the apocalypse took its full toll before the bank could repossess his land. He left for greener pastures after he suspected that he could be infected if he waited around any longer. He has been travelling ever since.
