Characters Appearance (In-game screenshot or Describe):
Characters biography/back-story: Vincent grew up in a ghetto somewhere located in the south, born to a poor, abusive family. As a young boy, he aspired to make something greater of himself, and help those in desperate need. His father was an alcoholic who beat and verbally demeaned him for not being good enough. Part of it was the alcohol, part of it was his father blaming him for his younger brother's death. Vincent's younger brother, Jackson, died after birth due to complications. His mother, depressed after Jackson's death, locked herself away in the study to be detached from the world, leaving Vincent's father to beat him.
At the age of twelve, Vincent finally stood up to his father, causing his dad to become even more violent. While defending himself, Vincent shot his father dead with his father's own handgun. After the traumatizing event, he was hospitalized for his wounds and being treated for mental anguish. He spent six more years with his uncle and aunt who cared for him. When Vincent turned eighteen, he enlisted in the army, and served a five year term as a soldier. During his term, he witnessed parts of an experiment using genementers to enhance their physical abilities. Soldiers that used these genementers displayed super-human strength, but were violent killing machines. After seeing the tragic death of innocent civilians caused by the super-soldiers, and all the destruction, Vincent returned home after serving his term to join the police academy. After months of training, he joined the force where he vowed to help fight against all the wrong in the world.
For three years he was a determined, ambitious officer. Now doing what he finally wanted to, Vincent lived contently knowing he was a true hero, working to stop crime. This was until he responded to a call of assault on a police unit. Apparently a group of unarmed men attacked a police cruiser with two officers inside. Upon arriving to the scene, there was a crowd climbing over the cruiser, banging on the windows. Upon looking closer, these people were bloodied, heavily damaged and bleeding severely. After attempting to get them away through verbal force, the crowd broke through the car windows and started ripping the officers to pieces. Horrified, Vincent started shooting at the crowd, trying to stop them. After they took most of the shots, he tried to call for backup, to which he was told that every unit is already responding to a call. Vincent got into his cruiser and fled the oncoming horde of dead. Bewildered and exhausted, Vincent tried to come up with a plan. He wanted to find survivors, but he also wanted to survive. After leaving the city with supplies and a vehicle, he headed toward the northwest coast.
Upon arriving, he found a group of survivors ready to set out to Alaska via a boat. After negotiating with the group, they agreed to take him along so long as he helps them survive. After awhile of sailing, they reached Alaska's shore, only to be greeted by bandits. They attacked and raided the boat, killing off six of the nine people. Vincent and three other survivors manage to escape and head towards the nearest town. He and the survivors made it through a forest, they were greeted by the same monsters as before. While attempting to make it to a building, one of the three survivors is caught and killed. Inside of the building they barricaded the exits, and held out until the monsters left. This didn't work as the relentless dead kept on trying to breach the barricades, being successful and taking out a couple survivors. Vincent and another survivor escape the building and the horde, and made their way towards the greenwood country.
The remaining survivor fell victim to extreme temperatures, leaving Vincent alone to fend off the monsters. Sneaking through the hordes and fighting anything that got in his way, Vincent found a functional radio inside of a house. After tuning through the stations, he heard survivors mention a campsite; nearly after he lost the station's signal. With a new checkpoint in mind, he inched towards the campsite by the skin of his teeth.
Vincent at this point had spent a year in the apocalypse, learning survival skills to benefit him and anyone else. With his courage, training and skills, he's prepared to help anyone in need, no matter the cost.
