[Johnny Evil]

Richard Korton, The Leper.

''My affliction has shunned me from society, forced to endure eternal torment and regret.. I know nothing but bigotry, and hate. And yet I cannot bring myself to bring it upon others.'' Richard Korton August 9th, 2020. City Seventeen.


Backstory
Richard Kortons past life means nothing, for it has never been uttered and will never be uttered.
Richard Korton was an outcast, both from the Resistance, Combine, and his fellow Citizenry. He was afflicted with Leprosy around a year or two under the Combines Reign, and with his Civic Status to low to actually get him any treatment, it grew worse and worse. Eventually leaving his body deformed and basically rotted beyond recognition. A walking corpse, a cloud of disease, and an eye sore is what you'd describe Richard.

Richard was a religious man, converting to the Orthodox Church, though his prayers saw him no cure, nor did the Combine.
''My affliction has shunned me from the pleasures of life.. Work.. Friends.. Love.. Community.. What have I done to deserve this?''

I regret nothing, and I pray that he contracts my disease.
