Life Before the Pandemic

Alex was born in Laramie, Wyoming, just over 100 miles from Casper, Wyoming, where he would grow up. Alex grew up with two older brothers and a younger sister. His family lived on a cozy farm just outside of Casper, and they spent a lot of there time appreciating the natural beauty of Wyoming. Alex's family specifically enjoyed hunting, fishing, hiking and camping, and would try to go on a trip at least once a year. Alex shot his first buck when he was just 12, and would have a love for the sport for the rest of his life. Alex's mother passed away when he turned 16,  just a year before the pandemic. 

Traveling to Nyheim

It was Alex's father's idea to go to Norway for a hunting trip. The family had some distant relatives living in Nyheim, and there were some hunting resorts in the area. Alex was excited to go hunt moose, as he had never shot one before. The family flew to Nyheim a few weeks before the 2019 pandemic. Their family in Nyheim was very welcoming, although Alex was really only there for the hunting. Unfortunately, before Alex was ever able to get into a stand, the pandemic hit, and Alex's family was stuck in Nyheim. The next two years of Alex's life were extremely uneventful. He was stuck inside with his family all day, every day, hoping for this pandemic to end. One day, Alex and his family noticed trucks going down the streets, spraying some sort of chemical everywhere. After Alex's father tuned into the radio, every channel was repeating the same message: "Stay indoors, no matter what." Soon there was a rise in crime and violence in the city, and even though it was ordered that no one leave the house, Alex's father insisted that that family get out of the city, and move to somewhere rural. When trying to escape the city, Alex's father was attacked and killed by one of the neighbors, and Alex was separated from the rest of his family.

Now

Alex wanders the Nyheim region, doing his best to survive, while trying to track down those of his family who he believes are still alive.
