Hudson is a Neutral Survivor and STR type Tank.

## Background

Having no friends, the only thing Hudson could do was rush back home from school at the final bell to spend time alone in his tiny room. His favorite hours were spent immersed in the superhero comics that his mom bought for him.
The idea of super-powered humans helping those in need fascinated him. He often pretended he was a superhero saving people in his own imaginary world.
Even after entering middle school, Hudson was too shy to enjoy school. He isolated himself from his classmates and had no willingness to learn. He found comfort in comics and their fantastic stories. Despite their tight budget, Hudson always managed to convince his mom to get him new comics and snacks. He thought he could keep up this lifestyle for the rest of his life – until the day his mother suddenly collapsed.
He shed tears whenever the doctor described the health complications his mother had developed, likely due to overwork and stress.
Hudson held his mother's hand and cried with deep remorse until she regained consciousness. He had to deal with huge medical bills all by himself as he had no one to turn to for help and no one offered to lend a hand. This made Hudson realize that there was no such thing as a superhero in real life.
Hudson did any job he could while lying about his age. No one suspected him of being a middle school student thanks to his size.
After long days at work, he would visit his mother at the hospital and talk to her, and for the time in his life, he felt like those conversations with her were sincere.
Unfortunately, his happiness didn't last long. Her health deteriorated rapidly, and before her last breath, she told him, "You can be what you want to be, but that's your decision to make." During her funeral, which no one attended, Hudson reflected on his mother's will and realized that he had to change.
From that day forward, he took advantage of his enormous physical strength and worked out more, turning into a man befitting his huge size once he reached adulthood.
He started a career as an amateur wrestler, coming up with a superhero-themed character whose name and appearance were what he had always imagined. Despite not being popular, he was proud of the fact that he took one giant step into the world.
However, the world of amateur wrestling was extremely harsh without proper safety measures, and he had to leave the ring after suffering a severe injury in less than half a year.
He underwent consistent rehabilitation training for a year in order to return to the ring. Unfortunately, no one remembered him even after he came back, and this devastated him just like his childhood. He shut himself up in his tiny room again and got rid of stress by ordering high-calorie foods, changing his body shape.
The apocalypse began some time later, and Hudson witnessed what was happening outside his window. He knew the end of the world had begun, but he didn't bother to do anything about it. He saw people killing each other for their own survival. He knew there were no heroes out there, nobody would come save him.
But one day, he witnessed a woman trying to make her way through the town among the dead while protecting a young boy.
The mother desperately swung a metal pipe at the dead with her thin arms but to no avail. Watching the mother and son, he thought about himself and his late mother. He knew he had to help them, but even for a physically imposing guy like himself, the dead were just too frightening and intimidating.
However, he mustered up all of his courage and went outside.
He shouted to draw the dead's attention, picked up a fallen road sign, then got rid of all the ones that were closing in on the mother and son.
The boy's mother expressed her gratitude in tears, and the boy asked if Hudson was a superhero. It was from that moment on that Hudson felt he was able to step out into the world once again.
Now, Hudson strives to become the hero he's always dreamed of being by saving those in need – as long as they're worth saving.
He's ready to show himself to the world, but he'll never forget that no one helped him and his mother when they were in need.
