History
Your First Walker Encounter☣ While performing a gig in Charlottesville, Virginia, there was a loud commotion beyond the cheers that they were accustomed to. Cries and screams that were a reminder of Leo's time in the army echoed throughout the venue. A small group of walkers entered the bar and began to tear chunks from people. With the surge of the crowd people were trampled and crushed as they tried to escape. Fortunately for the band and a few others they were able to escape through a back door.
History Before Outbreak☣ There was nothing distinct or worth of note that occured during Leo's childhood. It was normal in every aspect, achieving decent grades and spending most of his time with his friends. He played football on weekends for his local team and was an avid fan of music, playing multiple instruments. He had two loving parents and never wanted for anything growing up. That's not to say he was spoiled because he really wasn't, he simply had everything he needed to have the best chance to make something of himself.
☣ At the age of sixteen when others were talking about staying on in school or going to college, Leo decided to join the British Army. His father and grandfather had both served in the army but that wasn't a factor of why he wanted to do it. He felt within himself that it would allow him to become part of something bigger than himself. Instead of ending up with a piece of paper that says he spent thousands of pounds and three to four years of his life in university, he wanted to accomplish something.
☣ During a fairly lengthy military career he did several tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He operated as a designated marksmen for the majority of his time while serving. He was wounded on his second Iraq tour after taking a bit of shrapnel to the chest. Luckily he survived and is left with a minor scar across the left side of his chest. Unfortunately during his second tour of Afghanistan his father died back in the UK.
☣ After returning home he found his father had left him a letter expressing his last wish was for Leo to do what he really wanted and what he felt passionate about. Leo left the army to pursue career in music, forming a band that was a mixture of his brother, childhood friends and someone he had served in the army with. Leo had saved money well and combined with the money his father left him, he was able to start a band without worrying about work. Within a year they had released their first album and made an instant impact on the metal scene. They did several supporting tours before finally having a headline tour of their own. The money they made from album sales and merchandise was enough to give the band a comfortable existence.
☣ While touring the UK Leo met his ex wife, a slender blonde with bright green eyes who instantly took Leo's breath away. They hit it off right away and within two years they were married...happily Leo assumed. Unfortunately for him he found her in bed with someone else when he returned home early from a tour due to a cancellation of a gig on health and safety grounds. Not one to be treated like a fool he kicked her out and took to the bottle. He spent the next six months permanently drunk and had it not been from his bandmates intervening, he would likely have died. Several months of rehab later and he was clean, not touching a drop of alcohol since.
☣ A month prior to the outbreak the band set about their first headlining tour of the US. The tour was without incident with sold out shows and passionate fans wherever they went. That was until the night of the outbreak.
History Since Outbreak☣ As the band and a few of their fans escaped the bar they headed to a nearby motel. Within in they barricaded the doors and windows as best they could, closing curtains and whatever else was available. For several days they stayed there surviving on the contents of a lone vending machine. Chocolate and fizzy drinks didn't make for the best diet but it meant they would stay alive. Then on the fifth day of being in the motel a notice was played over the radio, instructing everyone who was able to, to make it to the park in the center of town to be extracted. The time limit was short, only twelve hours from when they heard the message.
☣ The survivors knew they had to chance it as their supplies were on the verge of running out. Arming themselves with whatever they could find they made their way to the park. A couple of people were killed by walkers on the way, but for the most part the group made it relatively in tact. They were met by a large crowd of people waiting to board busses and helicopters, the surrounding area covered by heavily armed soldiers.
☣ The time ticked by quickly but with little movement for the survivors and that proved costly. As they were waiting to be extracted the extraction site was set upon by a horde. Sully watched as walkers appeared from almost every direction, tearing into whoever got in their way. Busses sped off and helicopters flew off into the distance leaving civilians and soldiers alike to fend for themselves. Leo was forced to watch as Steve and Dave were pulled apart from a group of walkers that had gotten between them. In the melee Leo lost his brother and the last band member Shaun, getting pulled in different directions by the rushing crowds. Eventually he ducked into an abandoned house and threw everything he could behind the door, barricading himself in.
☣ Left to stew with his thoughts for a couple of days Leo decided it was time to go. He planned to move under cover of darkness to minimise the risk of being spotted by the walkers. He returned to the extraction zone to a scene of devastation and slaughter, only a couple of lone walkers remaining to pick the last bits of meat from peoples bones. At the site there was still a vast quantity of weapons left by the fleeing or deceased soldiers. Taking his opportunity Leo armed himself and set off in the hope he would find his brother.
☣ In the months that followed Sully moved from small town to small town searching for his brother and gathering supplies. He wouldn't stay in one place too long, barricading himself into a house for a night before carrying on his search. He moved cautiously and treated the majority of people he came across with suspicion. He had a few brushes with bandits and the undead but for the most part survived by being careful. As the months rolled by he gave up hope of finding his brother or Shaun alive and now assumes that they are dead.
☣ Six months into the outbreak Leo found a group that had taken up residency in a solid, well fortified location. He spent a couple of days observing them to make sure that they wouldn't shoot them on site. As he watched he softened to the idea of trusting people and decided to approach the group. They welcomed him into their group since then Leo has primarily been used in a security role, whether assisting in scavenging or setting up in a nearby tower to watch for any approaching trouble.
