A man wakes up to an alarm going off. He yawns and turns it off. The man performs his morning rituals and soon was out the door. The man was large, over 6 ft. And covered in muscles, despite his height and muscles the man was only 22. His face was average, not handsome, but not ugly either. His hair was brown and cut short. The shirt he wore was a white long sleeve shirt, his pants were bluejeans that were thick carpenter pants. Over his shirt was a thick light brown jacket, he also wore heavy duty boots that were also light brown.

As he exited his apartment building the hot sun hit him. But even though he started sweating he continued to walk. Soon he came to a small no-name coffee store. He pushes open the door with a smile on his face. "Ah, Hogen you're here." a woman said as she left from behind the counter. The man, Hogen, smiles and opens his arms. The woman hugs him back and they kiss each other's cheeks. "Of course Mama Grey. I come here everyday." Hogen responds "The usual please." he says before breaking the hug and sitting down. "Coming right up." Mama Grey says. She disappears into the back and comes back out 5 minutes later with his drink. "Here you go hun." she says to Hogen. He smiles and nods in response. He takes a gulp of it and sighs. "This taste never gets old." Hogen says. He gets up. "Well then, I'm off to work, say hello to Mia for me." He say with a wave. "Of course, have a nice day hun!" She called after him. Hogen walks in the burning sun until he comes to a big building. The big sign in front stated 'Warhounds companies'. This is where Hogen worked. Warhounds companies deals in everything. You name it, it has it. His job was to do any heavy lifting that someone inside the building asks him to do. He walks into the building and was immediately set to work. For the next six hours Hogen walked up and down stairs, carried boxes, moved furniture, and more. When 12 rolled around he leaves the building and was back before his 30 minute break was even up, heading right back to work. For another 6 hours he did the same thing. Finally at 6 p.m. he heads home. When he gets there he makes his meal and soon falls asleep. That is Hogens schedule. Until something happened
