Character's biography/back-story (make this 3-4+ paragraphs w/ 5+ sentences each, and relate to the story):
Hinrik grew up in Southern Iceland. The one and only son of his family, Hinrik had it easy. A father who had a good paying career, and a mother that cared for him. In a country like Iceland, the cities are spread apart--it is a rare occasion that an area would be close and urban like that of New York City. Because of this, he got the opportunity to see wildlife at its finest. He was fascinated by the wildlife that ventured in his part of the country, stopping to study and examine them during the day when he was going about his business. Eventually, he went to the University of Iceland, going into biological courses, helping him learn how to study the wildlife and pursue his dreams. He learned to study things from killer whales to viruses, preparing him for the future he was unknowingly walking into. He graduated in 2011 with full Doctorate's degree in Biology. After a year, he left his home town due to being offered a rather marvelous working position.
Hinrik was offered a job aboard a research vessel known as the Maelstrom. The Maelstrom was a research vessel that traveled throughout the southern parts of the Arctic ocean that would study marine life and test the resistances of viruses and bacteria in a hostile environment. With Hinrik's expertise in small-scale biological lifeforms, he was of course assigned to studying viral infections and bacterias. Things were going well for Hinrik, enjoying studying microbial life with little to no distractions. However, shortly after accepting such a job offer, he was notified of a new product that was being produced known as the "Genemeter", which was quickly sweeping the nation. Samples of the new "serum" was delivered to the ship by aircraft. Hinrik was interested in studying the Genemeter, but was denied that opportunity when the crew and captain of the ship had injected themselves with it without any second thought from the biologists. Eventually, the supply of Genemeters on the ship was dry.
In November of 2012, the Maelstrom had headed in to Pt. Barrow, Alaska, in order to refuel and resupply on many necessary resources for human life. One early morning, Hinrik noticed an abnormal silence that had filled the ship completely; nobody to be seen in the mess hall, and most of the research annexes were emptied out. In suspicion, Hinrik searched around his area of the ship, and eventually looked out on the top deck, immediately noticing a violent and strange unfolding of events. The crew members--and the captain himself--had been changed by the Genemeter, exhibiting irrational and unparalleled savagery. In fear, he ran back to his research wing, packing up what he could: a laptop, a small satellite antenna, and a crate of supplies. He took one of the jeeps from the cargo bay and evacuated the ship, bringing no one with him. Speeding through the research facility of Pt. Barrow, it seems the entire area had become swept with this contaminant, cities falling apart from the lack of order due to this strange disease that had struck.
Eventually, the inevitable occurred. His jeep had broken down when he was heading through the forest. He used what was left of the jeep's battery in order to find some place to take immediate shelter, his laptop hooked up to the aforementioned antenna. Looking around, a nearby town known as "Greenwood" was found about 15 kilometers away. At this point, he knew one thing only: if there was any shelter, Greenwood was his opportunity. With the battery of the jeep dead, and his supplies completely exhausted, he set out for the town of Greenwood, hoping to find some way to survive for as long as he could.
