Biography:

John Stark was born 19th October 1985. His father, Greg Stark worked on the farm they owned, while his mother, Sue Stark, stayed home and looked after him and his brother Harry. John grew up on the family farm, learning how to live off the land. He often when out on hunting trips with his father and brother, hunting deer and wild boar. John was home-schooled by his mother for his early years, before attending high school at the local town where he achieved decent grades. After graduating John stayed on the family farm to help his father. He worked on the farm for a year.

Soon after, the farm went through a series of financial problems and his Father was forced to sell the land. John decided that it was time to start his own life. He bought his father’s old car, said goodbye to his parents and set off, in search of a place to settle down. On his travels he came across the peaceful town of Palomino Creek. He decided to settle down there and bought himself a small house. He picked up work driving machinery at a local farm. The pay wasn’t good, but it was honest work.

Eventually John saved up enough money to quit his job at the farm. He bought himself a taxi and began work driving people around the Red County area. Throughout his daily travels he encountered various crimes. John began to realize that Red County was not as safe as he had first thought and that the police force was stretched too thin. He joined the local neighborhood watch, helping the police force in controlling the rising gang activity in the town. John continued working as a taxi driver, hoping to one day join the SD in keeping Red County safe.
