Strong Character
A burly half-orc cracks his knuckles as another zombie approaches towards him, he winds up a swing and sends the zombie's head flying off down the street.
A dragonborn, having lost his weapon, resorts to his baseball bat to defend against the oncoming onslaught of undead heading towards his comrade's position
A human charges towards the enemy position with nothing but a sledgehammer and the will of his friends behind him
Letting your strength do the talking has been part of your life, but since the virus, you've found that your strength is very useful
All around Strong-man
Maybe you worked a labor job, such as cargo work or construction. Maybe you spent your time bar brawling and street fighting. Maybe you worked in an underground industry as a goon or guard. Whatever you are, you got the muscles and scars to prove it.
