## Personal Life

### Personality

Yokel is a very out of touch person. He often uses youthful phrases that are inappropriate or dated. He often claims he is a 'sigma male' and looks up to Joseph Stalin. He is very approachable, however. He always listens to people when they speak to him and often tries to actively engage. He is also extremely patriotic for his home country, Bosnia. He is haunted by the actions of his past, so he actively tries to be a better person.

### Early Life

Yokel was born on May 15, 1956 in Visoko, Yugoslavia (present day Bosnia) to a farming family. He was named Yuri at birth, but Yokel was his nickname that stuck for the rest of his life. At the early age of 6, he began helping the family on the farm. His mother died when he was 10. He would often lash out against his family, injuring many of them in the process. His dad constantly beat him, as he blamed Yokel for the heart attack that killed his mother. Yokel ran away at 19, with little more than a 5th grade education. He began living with another farming family that took him in until the Bosnian War broke out.

## Bosnia

### Enlistment in the war

Upon hearing of the Serbian assault on his newly independent country, Yokel felt as if he had no choice but to act. He quickly enlisted into the Bosnian Army and received extremely basic training before being deployed. He was always picked on for his weight and bad facial acne. Yokel proved to be an effective soldier, especially with his tactics and use of equipment.

### Wartime Experience

Yokel could not cope well with killing other humans. He often would disappear during combat and hide away, so he would not have to kill. He was never discovered most of the time, and got off without being charged for his 'cowardice'. He eventually was faced with the choice when he was cornered by a Serbian soldier who fumbled his reload, and Yokel fired out of pure instinct. He was haunted by the choice he made and never forgave himself, but the worst was yet to come. Soon enough, him and his squad found surrendering Serb soldiers. They fired on them for their horrific crimes against Bosnia, another choice that would haunt Yokel forever. Yokel returned home after the war an empty shell, only to find the house of those who took him in demolished. He fled to the capital of Bosnia and got a job as a construction worker.

### Settling Down

After over 10 years of working in the construction force and having lived with the love of his life for around 5 years, Yokel decided it would be best for his wife and him to settle down in the countryside. They lived peacefully until around 2010, when several men wanted their property and forced them to leave under threat of violence.
