John was interested in IT from an early age. Whatever time he didn't spent writting programs he either played computer games, mostly strategy, or hiking with his father.
He eventually found a carrer path to blend all of those activities, he joined the army as a computer engineer and spent 5 years serving.
After that he moved to the private sector, mostly motivated by money.
He kept his passion for hicking and often found himself in the woods. He also went to gun ranges from time to time but he was never a skilled shooter or that fond of weapons.
He dabbled with different DIY hobbies but never became that good, he is quite handy but nothing out of the ordinary.
He was always bigger that his peers, in height and weight. He also has a very calm nature and avoids conflicts at all cost. He is very loyal and has a strong sense of morality, the only situations when he got involved in conflicts were to protect others. He gets mad hard but when he does he usually pushes it to the extreme.
All of those things, from his body to his calm nature that can become explosive when pushed to far has earned him the nickname The Bear.

When the pandemic hit he found himself hiking the woodlands of Europe. He found out about later than most people and when he did he just turned to what he knew best, the woods.
Now he tries to get back to what he knew before as civilisation and try to find a group of people to join, missing the human interaction.
