Below is an edit of my character, removing the murder aspect and adjusting him to other quirks. > [@Mahaloth](#): > > How about this? > > Alvin Coolnax, age 33. A former military man who lives alone; He owns a army surplus supply store and is pretty well trained in guns/weaponry from his 12 years in the army. > > After what he saw in the army, Alvin isn’t sure he even wants the world to continue. Hell, maybe these riots and disease are just nature’s way of finishing off what humanity started. No, Alvin isn’t a cynic. He’s a disappointed idealist, a shadow of the upbeat man that signed up for the army after high school. He’d signed up to serve his country, his fellow man, and to get some good training while staying in shape. He was a model American citizen and a damn fine specimen of a man. > > Now, he has nothing left to fight for. The whole world is turning into…well, zombified TV watching idiots. Are these the people he defended with his life? Honestly, sometimes it just seems like there is nothing worth living for. ---

Hey folks, going on a camping trip. Back Monday. Wright will do anything logical; don’t hold up the game for me. ---

Alright, I’m just waiting for at least 2/3 people to agree on what to do. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dope-of-the-dead-rpg-setup-thread/624881.md?page=1)
