Name: Walter Pierce

Age: Twenty-years old

Gender: Male

Birthplace: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Weapon(s): Steel crowbar, hunting knife, Glock 17 handgun

Personality: Thoughtful, curious, kind, loyal, and reliable. Headstrong in the face of pressure, his mental fortitude and the will to live has given Walter a stronger mind; though, this has slightly crumbled in light of recent events, and he can be sensitive to the cruelty of others.

Backstory: Walter Pierce was the first child of a Korean mother and Irish father; his mother was an immigrant to the United States, and years before his birth, met his father. He grew up normally in the neighborhood of South Philadelphia, and despite racial differences between him and his peers, the boy got along just fine.

Overall, like most of the children and teenagers growing up, Walter was oriented on making his family proud, doing well in school along with running track, being greatly successful in this aspect. Despite this, the young man was at a lost; he struggled to find something to do with his life after the high school days, and in a series of breakdowns and falling outs, he moved away from home.

On the west coast, Walter did find a semblance of purpose, set to attend college under an athletic scholarship while working at a local cafe in Los Angeles. When the outbreak started, he was quick to leave the major cities with several coworkers. Since then, they had survived on the land and occasional runs into the towns and cities. But over time, the group began to grow desperate with dwindling supplies, and conflicted with one another regularly.

After another unsuccessful supply run, Walter was caught between the paranoia of his group members when tensions reached a fever pitch. His group proceeded to turn on one another, all until he was forced to defend himself. Shaken, Walter took off from his former refuge, and has since then committed to surviving on his own.

Family: Walter has not communicated with his family since the start of the outbreak, but assumes them to be likely deceased.
