A physics professor at a local community college, Nicholas Biermann spends most of his spare time preparing for the economic meltdown and subsequent civilization apocalypse. He lives alone in a small 'shack' in the woods where he prefers to survive off of the land more than anything. Events- An escape - the party gets trapped and the only way out is through a hoard of zombies
- Maybe the residents of a very rural are disconnected from the world and haven't heard about the zombies?
- Night raid - zombies, at night, with a lightning storm
People- Jamie Biermann (Ex-Wife) - Jamie left Nicholas as he began to become more and more hermit-like. He loves her very much and wishes they could reestablish their marriage, but she has shown absolutely no interest in repairing their relationship
- Robby Olaf (Friend) - Robby is another 'doomsday prepper' though he believes that civilization will collapse due to nuclear war. He is more of a urban survivalist than Nicholas
- Prof. Sarif Bjeo (Rival Professor) - A rival professor in the physics department, Sarif almost constantly undermines Nicholas and has tried to get him fired for what Sarif sees as 'very disturbed behavior'
Places- His 'shack'/'home'. I wouldn't mind him getting on 'home turf' for a quick bit, even if it is to only see the destruction of a zombie hoard
- Theme Park - because Zombieland.
- Prison - a safe place to rest?

Only see two issues at this points, and they're fairly minor:
I can't see Cutting Edge Training—especially not from a community college prof—nor can I see much use for it; it's only a Perk, though, so it's easy to replace with something else. Or did you have an explanation?
Wealth (up or down) is no good here—it really has no effect whatsoever in this setting

Still within the grace period. A good Disad for this character just occurred to me, based on the chosen avatar: Bad Sight (either near or farsighted), -25; with the Mitigator (Glasses) (-60%), -10
