  synopsis
  Jonathan Simms was that kid in high school that everyone knew and everyone liked. 
  He was the popular kid despite the fact he wasn’t a jock.  After college and deflated dreams 
  of national television journalism, he enlisted in the US Army where he was involved in the 
  invasion of Iraq with the 3rd Infantry Division.  These experiences changed his view of 
  the world.  After leaving the army, he became a vagrant until he found religion where his 
  silver tongue, writing talent, and confidence in front of a crowd made him ideal for this 
  new “mission.”  
  A survivor of a close call with a nuclear strike, he has spent his last year as a migrant 
  preacher, sharing his version of God’s word with anyone who would listen.  He’s not a 
  radical nor is he blind to the reality of this new world. But there is no denying his passion 
  for his new found “calling.”

  history
   
  Jonathan Simms was born in 1977 in suburban America.  Growing up, he showed 
  a natural ability to thrive in the public eye.  He graduated high school as student body 
  president, but his popularity didn’t come from the football or basketball team, but rather 
  through the speech and drama clubs.
  While he may have had all the ingredients for life on the stage or screen, he aspired 
  to be a national-level journalist.  After high school he went on to his local state college 
  and graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Journalism.  After several attempts 
  with the national networks failed, he tried his hand at smaller, regional affiliates.  Despite 
  his skill and charm, he found nothing but non-paying intern positions and his bills were 
  beginning to pile up.  It was at this point that he joined the U.S. Army.  Though he could 
  have joined as an officer, he elected to enlist as a private intending to serve only long 
  enough to get out of debt.
  Out of basic training, Jonathan went into the infantry arm and was assigned to the 3rd 
  Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, Georgia.  It was the end of his first year with the unit 
  that the attacks of September 11th occurred.  While some members of the division went 
  forward to Afghanistan, he remained behind continuing to train and hone his skills.
  2003 proved to be a pivotal year in Private First Class Simms’ life.  The 3rd ID was 
  deployed to Kuwait and was part of the spearhead of US forces in the invasion of Iraq.  
  As part of the 2nd Brigade, he was involved in the direct push into the heart of Baghdad. 
  Because of current operations, he was promoted to Specialist, but he was also “Stop-
  Lossed” for an additional year.
  Jonathan separated from the army in 2005, worse for the wear.  The events he lived 
  through and the inhumanity he witnessed, all combined to shake him to his core.  The 
  violence of combat was more than he ever expected.  It didn’t matter if it was friendly forces 
  responding to an attack, if it was secular violence pitting neighbors against neighbors, or 
  his unit hunkering down while taking fire.  He was now and forever a changed man.
  Gone were the days when he longed to be the next Anderson Cooper, along with the 
  days of pride in his appearance.  Now Jonathan was in the search for something more, 
  something deeper.  The next two years were spent aimlessly taking an odd job here and 
  there making just enough money to scrape by.  It was during this period of his life that he 
  often stopped and listened to the wild rantings of street corner and park bench preachers. 
  While he didn’t buy into their bizarre messages, he did notice a common theme of help 
  and hope in many of the sermons.
  He started writing poetry to help him collect his thoughts.  These writings soon 
  turned philosophical and eventually theological.  Having found what he considers his 
  new calling, he joined the local branch of a major national faith-based charity.  Using 
  this opportunity to meet and help countless new people, he quickly became a favorite of 
  several beneficiaries who would request him by name to help them.  Soon he was sharing 
  his poetry and speaking of his interpretation of God’s love for mankind.
  He was working the suburbs the day the Chinese nukes fell.  Though he was far enough 
  away to avoid the immediate damage and destruction of the detonation, he was close 
  enough to get a major dose of radiation and some surface burns.  The dose was strong 
  enough that he was incapacitated within minutes and was field triaged by first responders

  as beyond saving.  The fact that he was able to recover without any human assistance 
  only solidified his new found faith and provided him with all the evidence he required to 
  convince himself that he was chosen, that he was a new, modern prophet.  In his mind, 
  God had given him the gifts and tools, shown him the dangerous way of man, and had 
  saved him to help guide mankind back to the light.
  He spent this last year as a wanderer, a vagrant reading his poetry in public 
  and preaching his interpretation of God’s word.  His message doesn’t stress a God of 
  vengeance; instead he stresses the fact that mankind has turned away from God and 
  must find its way back.  The Last	Year, he teaches, isn’t God’s work, but mankind’s.  His 
  Bible is always at hand, but he supplements his sermons with concepts and ideas pulled 
  from a college-level “Comparative Religions” textbook.  Unlike previous “prophets” like 
  Jim Jones, David Koresh or Marshall Herff Applewhite, Jonathan does not promote a 
  radical or controversial message.  His message doesn’t focus on anger and fear, but rater 
  on mankind’s fallibility. He teached that there is hope, love and understanding if we only 
  change our ways.
  Though he promotes a peaceful message, he isn’t naïve.  He understands the realities 
  of this new world and advocates self-defense and the defense of the weak and exploited, 
  but not at the cost of people falling further and losing more of their own humanity.
  He doesn’t aim to lead a flock of his own.  In some cases, people look to him for 
  leadership and guidance, but he’s much more comfortable as a counselor, a guide, 
  or a mentor.  Often, he can be found as a member of a refugee camp filled with 4d20 
  people.   NPC types within the camp who can be found supporting him will be: Desperate 
  Housewives, Refugee Homesteaders, Savvy Craftsmen, Small Town Cops, Suburbanite 
  Survivors, Reluctant Trainers, and Paranoid Survivalists.
