this verse is inspired by the indiana jones & mummy franchises with small influences from tomb raider , national treasure , and various other exploration based adventure films.

the world is at its finest , the great war had hardened young men ; for if one had survived it there was nothing they couldn't survive. having left home at nineteen and fought overseas in a conflict that wasn't even their own , the learned survival rotted away at his skin. he had tried to hold onto it , completing another enlistment afterwards , but peacetime meant there was nothing that could compare to the feeling of chaos that had been burned into his soul. and as such had created a sense of urgency in the search for the same excitement , one that could not be found behind a desk at an office , or tuning wrenches in a factory , no there was an unsatiable need for adventure. one that clawed its way into his heart and refused to let go.

it was that intense desire that had landed him at the doorstep of harvard university a couple of years ago , one strange job recommendation to another and eventually he was on his first trip to egypt assisting doctor gloria de lima with some strange artifact recovery , the new continent was exhilarating , he hadn't felt this fulfilled since the war and it's addicting. skirmishes with other archeologist teams was not something he had been expecting , huckleberry was fully certain he was just there for show , to scare off potential looters & scams and yet , finding himself actually useful in situations around such amazing places , things and people ? he agrees to be part of her team , no matter where they go. he wants more of this strange adventure.

so for the next couple of years he works exclusively with the north american universities , not always the same one , but always on recommendation. its only then that he runs into another one of him , he's met a few , a few that can hold their own against him , and less that ( he's a little worried might beat him in a fight ). but the man , who goes only by six , is thankfully on his side because the trip to south america goes south. he's not sure who had tipped off the germans that they would be exploring the jungles of colombia , but by the time they are trying to exist the ruins he's sure its some supernatural curse that's keeping them from being able to escape safely. eighteen dead germans and three golden idols later everyone ( on their team ) is safe and finally on a plane back to the united states.

that supernatural curse , that is strange to him everyone else insists was a figment of his imagination. but he's certain that these things are real , that these curses & dark magic items they keep uncovering have some sort of connection. there has to be some reason his brain won't let him go to sleep , that he wakes up picturing some sort of undead zombie-man over his bed every night. so he shifts customer base , takes a job with dinosaur-doctor william hargrove , because at least dinosaurs couldn't curse their own bones. or so he thought before they arrived. the mediterranean is a strange land to be in. throughout the trip he learns three things , one dinosaur bones can in fact be cursed , two dr. hargrove is a perfectly capable individual who doesn't need a body guard and three if one short mexican woman with curly hair asks for anything the only answer is yes.

the world has gotten a lot bigger than it had been a couple of years ago. but even then... at least there was always room for another adventure.
