Characters biography/back-story (make this 3-4+ paragraphs and relate to the story): Gregory was born in Juneau, Alaska to Matthew Buchanan and Clara Buchanan-Rosenberg. His childhood was fairly average except for his above-average grades throughout school. He always had As, even in his AP classes. This gave him many good opportunities like college, jobs, money, et cetera. Unfortunately for him, he was basically a magnet for trouble. His peers pressured him into alcohol and marijuana use, and while driving to a football game under the influence, he crashed into a tree and injured his leg. He realized he was a natural with gun when he tried to drive away pests with an air rifle while he was in a cast and couldn't chase them.
In the year 2002, he joined the army as a designated marksman and had a career in Afghanistan for 3 years when he was shot three times. The bullets never really damaged him to the point of being incapacitated, which the doctors who used to check on him call "miraculous." His left arm is a little less mobile than the right, though. That's how it got injured, which will be described later.
In 2010, he moved to Portland, Oregon until 2012 for his job. In Portland, he met Jessica Fletcher. After only two months of dating, she was murdered by a drug addict, which really bummed out Greg. After shooting the druggie in the knee and then the stomach (Buchanan always packs heat) he called the police and was himself hauled away. He was in prison for less than a year when the zombie stuff started, and was freed accidentally by a military bombardment of a nearby town. He fled north toward Alaska, and is now stuck in Greenwood probably until his death.
He thanks the outbreak for letting him out of jail, but blames it for his wife's murder because the druggie needed money for a Genementer injection. He hopes to one day unite all the people he can and lead a march across the whole United States like he read in a popular novel,
World War Z. However deluded his aspirations are, and how little progress he has made toward them, for some reason he hasn't given up, and it drives him a little crazy sometimes with how little food and sleep he gets when he thinks about it.
What faction do you hope to join? Since the Bandits are overstocked, I think I'll go for Republic.
Additional, potentially useful info: I will usually be playing between 5:00 and 6:00 EST.
