Hoboken

Hoboken is ghoul who's far stronger than he should be. Before he changed, Hoboken had learned alot about boxing from his father and was hardly ever found away from the side of his older brother, Hackensack. After their parents died of radiation poisoning, the brothers started setting up fist fights for caps, scraps, and shelter around the ruins of New Jersey. Hackensack set up the fights, Hoboken knocked them down. It wasn't until after the brothers started losing flesh that they had to give up the boxing matches. Some how, they both became ghouls.

After ghoulifacation, the brothers hid a lot. They learned that the world at large didn't take to well to their kind. Mainly, because they looked like zombies and there were those of their kind that went feral and gnawed on people. Hackensack decided that if they were going to survive for long, they had to make themselves useful. Hoboken did pretty much what ever his older brother told him to. So, they scavenged until they found an old military weapons cache and started learning how to use them. The brothers then started selling their skills as mercenaries to who ever had the caps or more ammunition.

Hoboken has a fondness for heavy weapons. He loves heavy machine guns, especially mini guns. Some time in his past, Hoboken acquired a combat shotgun of rather rare quality and took a liking to it. At all times, he carries Asbury, the combat shotgun, even when he does have the heavier weapons he loves. While generally unintelligent and slow witted, Hoboken has some skill at maintaining shotguns and heavy weapons, but he excels at casting ammunition. Though not the sharpest knife in the drawer, Hoboken isn't easily fooled, mostly in part from listening to his quite intelligent brother Hackensack. Hoboken refuses to listen to anything that contradicts anything Hackensack has told him, believing his brother is right in everything he says. Hoboken has a rather long reach (his arm length makes people think of a decayed mutated gorilla), is very broad (often described as being as wide as a cadillac), and is a formidable boxer when forced into hand to hand confrontation. Hoboken also has a fondness for irradiated canned food, especially beans.

Hoboken's main goal, currently, is finding his brother. He was separated from Hackensack some time in the past and has been on a relentless search for his brother ever since. Hoboken will not stop until he finds his brother. Any one who tries to talk him out of it usually ends up on the wrong side of Asbury. The only thing that matters to the big ghoul is finding his brother.
