Dossier[]

A National Level hunter in America. He uses his overwhelming power and violence to get whatever he wants.

Dossier #01: Surrounded by Enemies[]

Detroit, Michigan was once the beating heart of the automobile industry, but as the US automotive business declined, so too did the city's job prospects and the population. It soon became the heart of the rust belt instead.

The city became a shadow of its former self, and in the shadows of the abandoned factories, the remaining citizens fought over what little remained.

What the city became known for the in the years that followed were the choking stench that permeated the air, and the lack of civil services, and the highest violent crime rate in the United States.

That was where Thomas Andre grew up.

Humans love to form a pecking order, even among the poor and disadvantaged.

Coming from a poor immigrant family, Thomas was destined to see violence.
The back alleys of the slums were never a friendly place, and they were particularly risky for a friendless boy like him.

Dossier #02: Law of the Jungle[]

Danger lurked around every corner.

Gangs had a chokehold on the streets, and when darkness fell, they prowled like hungry wolves.

Thomas had nowhere to run. So instead, he decided to face the hand he was dealt head-on.

Unfortunately, as a young boy, Thomas stuck out like a sore thumb and had little strength with which to defend himself.

Every day became a battle. If he even so much as made eye contact with the wrong person, it was trouble. Sometimes they had weapons. Sometimes they had back-up.

He got beaten up a lot. No one came to his rescue.

That's when Thomas realized. "Only I can save myself."

Dossier #03: A Blessing in Disguise[]

however, he had happy memories from before to look back on.

Thomas had once had a peaceful, stable, happy childhood on his father's farm.

But when a dictator came to power through coup, a bloody and brutal massacre had followed.

The dictator had confiscated people's property and executed those who refused without trial. Thomas's father was slain.

"Don't look back, Thomas. No matter what." Thomas still vividly remembers gripping his mother's hand as they fled.

Soon after, they began their new lives in the states.

They had lost everything. Thomas's mother had to start from noting in order to get food on the table, and Thomas was frequently left alone as a result.

Dossier #04: Irresistible Force[]

As Thomas grew up, his slender frame began to stretch and fill in with muscles no unlike his father's. That was the only inheritance he had.

Soon, he towered over the people who once hurt him. The way they looked at him was different from before. Now, there was fear behind their eyes. It was Thomas's turn to go on the offensive.

Thomas gradually learned how to fight. As it turned out, he had a true knack for it. He didn't have anything to his name but a single skill: the power to inflict unspeakable pain. But that was enough.

For him, power was a way out: the only way out. The only means he had to save himself.

Now that he could match them in size, Thomas began to crush his opponents. Loyal lackeys started to flock to him as they saw how he won each and every fight.

They even gave him a nickname: Goliath.

By roughing up those who once picked on him, he started gaining reputation and wealth. As word spread about his prowess, his reign truly began.

Although everything he did was under the table and off the books, he was able to build a remarkable back-alley empire. But Thomas wasn't satisfied. His desire to expand his influence out to the wider world gripped him like the thirst of a man dying under the sun.

Dossier #05: Survival of the Fittest[]

Everything changed when mana appeared in the world. Now, the whole world knew what it meant to live in fear of those bigger and stronger than themselves.

The day started like any other. The only thing out of the ordinary was that Thomas felt stronger than usual. However, he slowly began to notice that a strange energy enveloped his entire body... and an even more monstrous power was stirring inside of him.

That day, Thomas became a true king: an S-Rank hunter.

He'd been strong that your average bear before, but after his awakening, he really felt that he was the "Chosen One."

Now he could crush anyone who stood in his way. It was an easy task.

A few months after his awakening, a news story circulated that the dictator who had once killed his father had been brutally murdered. "Beyond words" was how they described his death. But monsters were real- the public barely had time to think about assassination. And without public interest, exactly what happened to the dictator would remain a secret.

Only overwhelming power can take on overwhelming power. Justice if a fist. Thomas's conviction grew stronger and his drive carried him every onward.
