"Was a bit of a shock to have to deal with... well.. everything. But honestly? I'm in better shape than I've ever been in my life, I feel good, and I'd say I've adapted well enough. Some days are harder, and I'd 'metaphorically' kill for a cold Mountain Dew again but.. That's life."

Having been little more than a shut-in before everything went to hell, it seemed only for the grace he'd taken an interest in shooting that he'd managed to get this far. His old semi-auto AK had done him well enough for protection and to get food, and he'd managed to even scrape together some kit over time during his searches to get more comfortable with traveling on foot. It was funny really, he as a Hyena becoming a 'Scav' like in Tarkov? What a world.

Having been a big fan of Escape from Tarkov, DayZ and the like it's no wonder that I would eventually want a character to be more befitting of those type of 'scenarios'. While Nate here isn't quite set in stone as far as his setting is concerned, the basic 'details' of him are fairly well-formed: A young adult (roughly 18-20 something years old) who had been a shut-in before whatever catastrophe befell humanity (EMP strikes, anarchy, plague, unlawful invasions, the undead) and somehow managed to survive to learn a degree of competency and self-sufficiency. He has no formal military training, and in fact is armed only with a civilian semi-auto rifle as far as the 'states are concerned. Also he likes bayonets, and makes sure to carry one with him.

I do have to give credit where credit is due, as my dearest friends Anaktis , f1r35t0rm , and ZeDarkPenguin were my chief influences in trying to get this character created, and honestly I really hope to further expand this Scavvy boy sooner rather than later.


All credit goes to PGM300 for bringing Nate to life in such a stellar way! Couldn't be happier with my character in their style, and I'd really encourage anyone seeing this to go check them out on one of their sites:
