Accolades: Personality: Anthony is a dedicated, compassionate, and hard-working man, but he suffers from a stubborn disposition, particularly when attempting to rescue others, often putting himself in dangerous situations. He is also dedicated to his pacifism, even agaonst the zombies, and refuses to maim or kill unless absolutely and completely necessary.
Biography: Born in Cincinnati, Anthony grew up in a lower-class slum, the son of a dead-beat, drunk, and abusive ex-construction worker for a father, and a meek and spineless waitress of a mother, the oldest of five. His dad was sent to prison when he was 12 for beating his mother nearly into a pulp, and was killed shortly afterwards in a prison yard brawl, leaving Anthony to become the provider of the household as him mom recovered. He took odd jobs around the neighborhood, and helped out at the restaurant his mom worked at, barely scraping together enough money for rent, let alone food or utilities, but amazingly, his family made it by.
After she recovered, his mom was largely catatonic and spent her days sitting in the living room smoking and drinking, while Anthony juggled work and school, busting his ass all the way through and becoming salutatorian, and being offered a scholarship to Ohio State University to play basketball, but he declined in order to stay home and continue taking care of his siblings. He joined the Cincinnati Fire Department when he was 19, and quickly established himself as a hard-worker, dedicated and compassionate, but also recklessly stubborn, often putting himself at risk to save others, earning him just as many reprimands as he received commendations.
When his youngest sibling graduated high school, Anthony didn't have to provide for anyone any more, as his mother was dying in hospice care and his siblings were either stable and well-off, or imprisoned, and for the first time in his life he could do something for himself. He decided he was going to receive a degree, just for his own sake, and began taking night classes at a local community college, receiving an Associates in Sociology, the subject that most interested him in his classes.
Having lived through and seen the tragedies of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, and seeing the work that FEMA and other rescue workers performed, Anthony left the CFD after 15 years of service and joined FEMA as a full-time urban search and rescue worker, shortly before the Chicago Outbreak. Anthony was deployed with Ohio Task Force 1 to Chicago to aid in urban search and rescue operations, as well as general aid operations, and performed admirable with his team even in the face of a growing zombie population, along with a more violent surviving populace. Roughly three weeks into the quarantine, Anthony became separated from his team while fleeing a group of zombies, and was left alone in the city, holed up in the burned-out ruins of a mini-mart, still in his rescue gear, and without any way to resupply or contact his team, as his radio was broken in the act of fleeing, and his GPS died shortly afterwards. He didn't even have a backpack or sleeping bag, as they had deployed on a simple rescue operation that was supposed to take a few hours. He only had a few dried MREs and granola bars, a mostly-full canteen, and a few tools he'd packed into his harness, but was left without a tent or sleeping bag, and so Anthony's main mission is to link up with any remaining government forces, or better yet, his own team, and return to rescuing and evacuating civilians.
