Character's biography/back-story (make this 3-4+ paragraphs w/ 5+ sentences each, and relate to the story): Jared Burton, Age 31, was born in Crescent City, CA., to a poverty-stricken family of six. His father was paid little morethan minimum wage at a nearby fast-food resturaunt, and his mother was a stay-at-home type. Being the youngest son of the family was rather tough on him, as he commonly received the family's hand-me-downs, or nothing at all. However, when he began his studies at school, his teacher soon found he had a knack for social studies and reccomended it to him. His life just seemed to be getting better, but in the spring of '09, it was discovered that his mother had gradually been developing ovarian cancer. The miracle drug had been reccomended to her, but seeing as the family had little enough money as it was, they couldn't afford it.
After this diagnosis, his father began to develop a serious addiction to alcohol. After a domestic violence call at their household at 3:47 AM, on February 3rd of 2010, it was discovered that, in a drunken rage, Mr. Burton had stabbed his wife in the torso repeatedly. According to testimony from his children, he repeatedly screamed at her and yelled at her, in various tones, about his anger "at his wife's broken parts". Mr. Burton was prosecuted and sentenced to 25 years prison time without possibility of parole. Just as his life was beginning to turn around, suddenly Jared was stripped of all he knew and sent to live in foster homes across the west coast, from Seattle to San Diego. Growing up as a troubled teenager seriously affected him, and after a while was sent to live with yet another family in Alaska.
Something about this family was different, however. Call it maturity or emotional stability, but he grey to like this new group of people, as they truly accepted him as their own flesh and blood. He grew up in that household, and later on went to gain a Master's degree in Government at UCLA, intending to go into a law firm, and perhaps later into politics. After graduating, he moved on to found Steven&Burton Law LLC in Nome, Alaska. They worked as partners for several years,s handling all types of cases. When the outbreak began, however, Jared quickly sensed something wrong. He backed out of the firm, sold his possessions, and moved to a more remote part of Alaska. The outbreak quickly spread through the city, and Jared lived by himself in the woods for a while before those... Things... finally got to him. Even now, he is staggering through the woods towards Greenwood, hoping to reach safety.
