History
Your First Walker Encounter: Minimal 1 well developed paragraph
History Before Outbreak: Gus was orphaned at the age of six, when his parents were killed in a car accident on the beltway. His father was a senator from Illinois, splitting the family's time between the two cities. And while Gus did have grandparents back in Illinois that wanted to take care of him, his parents' will placed him in the care of his father's best friend from college, a political commentator. He grew up in a cramped apartment in Washington D.C., raised by 'Uncle' Ricky.
Gus' guardian wasn't very attentive, preferring to drop him off at a therapist, rather than talking to the kid. He developed immense anger issues, hanging out with the wrong crowd for most of his juvenile life. It was a miracle in itself that he passed high school. He enlisted in the military as an officer, getting the army to pay for his education. He studied criminal justice and history, all due to a fascination with violence that his anger issues fed. It wasn't long after college that he was shipped out, to fight in the Gulf War. Gunner doesn't talk about what happened out there. He drinks away the memories, attempting to deal with PTSD by the comfort of alcohol.
After he returned home, Gunner left the army as soon as he could. The memories were too painful. He picked up a job as a CO at a prison down in Florida, hoping that the change of scenery would be nice. It went well for a few years, but his anger flared up, and he treated the inmates like shit. During a prison riot, an inmate took a CO hostage. It reminded him too much of the War, and Gunner resigned the next day.
His next career, he figured, might as well be police work. Lots of veterans did that, and he figured with his college education, he'd be a shoe in. And he was. He worked as a beat cop, aiming to be promoted to detective one day. The day never came, however, as he fought with his superior officer--quite literally--and smashed a beer bottle over his face. He was let go for "personality issues." After all of these career failings, Gunner finally realized what his calling was: expressing his anger. There were plenty of nightclubs in Miami, and before long, a semi-shady character who ran one of the joints had Gunner on his payroll. He started off as standard security, before becoming the man's personal bodyguard just a year before the outbreak started. And while Gunner was still angry, he was getting closer to happiness.
History Since Outbreak: Minimal 4 paragraphs on how your character has survived up until this point.
