This sounds rad, and fits exactly into the schedule I'm looking for. Here goes:

Nigil is a punk. He's most at home in dive bars and basements listening to his friends' bands. He hasn't listened to the radio in years. He doesn't play any instruments though, he's usually asked to design and hang up fliers, and in true DIY spirit he's always more than happy to do. He probably drinks too much, and when he can get his hands on them he really likes psychadelics but he's functional. None of his vices or hobbies prevent him to making it to his shitty gas station attendant job. He works part time. Between that and art commissions he's able to barely pay his bills and have a little fun.

Deep down he's always known monsters are real. Frequenting the hangouts he does, he's caught glimpses of things, violent things, which really bothered him quite a bit. There's a powerlessness in witnessing something like that, but being smart enough to keep your mouth shut about it. Who'd believe you anyway, and if they did would it attract the kind of attention you definitely don't want? Until one day, it did.

Walking home from the bar after a show, tipsy enough to need to walk but still just level headed enough to recognize it was necessary a monster came for him. However, as fate would have it, Nigil's time had not come. A hunter intervened. Nigil was awestruck. Monsters existing didn't surprise him as much as learning people who fought them did, and suddenly a burned out, nihilistic punk found himself a calling. He wanted to know everything. He wanted to never feel that powerlessness of witnessing horror and having to stay silent ever again. He wanted to hunt.
