Name : Jessalyn "Jess"

Age : 21

Skill : cook and supply organizer

Weapon (up three): lead pipe with a jagged end

Personality : sweet, naïve, helpful, hesitates to strike, trusting, 'blonde' at times, has trouble coping

Bio : Jessalyn was living with her Mom and brother at the time of the outbreak. Her brother, who hated her for being born, shoved her out of the car as they were escaping. She never saw them again.
Almost immediately Jess met a man named Bruce who said he would help her get to safety, provided she did something for him. Jessalyn, afraid of what would happen to her on her own, agreed to have sex with him in exchange for protection. But Bruce didn't hold up his promises. Instead of keeping her safe himself, he dumped Jess off on a woman named Lynn.

Lynn, having escaped from life with a dictator named Tyler, was at first not happy to be saddled with a young girl barely into adulthood and she was furious when she discovered the girl was pregnant on top of it. But in time the sweet and kind Jessalyn ingrained herself into Lynn's tough heart and Lynn looked after and protected Jess through most of her pregnancy.

Unfortunately things did not last. Tyler's group captured Lynn and Jess found herself at the mercy of a stranger named Floyd. They seemed to get along well but Jess was quickly captured by a group from Haywood. She got the shock of her life when she realized that the leader of Haywood was none other then Bruce, the man who had gotten her pregnant then abandoned her. After the Haywood uprising Bruce attacked and nearly killed her before being killed himself.

As part of a plan to infiltrate the underground, Jess agreed to be handed over to Tyler. There she was reunited briefly with Lynn before the underground was attacked by both Haywood and walkers. Floyd, having been brought to the underground as a possible new member, found and rescued Jess and escaped with her.

Finding an abandoned house, Floyd and Jess grew closer and developed a bit of a romance between them. Abram came across them and joined them tentatively, trust between the two men being an issue. After an argument between Jess and Floyd, with Floyd going off to hunt and clear his head. While he was gone the house was attacked by walkers, forcing Jess and Abram to flee. They came upon Haywood where they decided to stay and see if Floyd would find them.

During the attack by Outpost Jess went into labor and had her baby, a beautiful healthy boy she named Benjamin Daniel.
In the wake of the attack, Jess and Abram left Haywood to search for Floyd and for a safer place for Jess to raise her baby. They came across Turisa, Leah and Samantha on the road and the small group headed for Baton Rouge, managing to find a house not only safe and big enough for them but that had a room of baby supplies for Jess and Ben.

Soon after finding the house Jess and Ben were kidnapped by Kerry, one of Magnus' men, but when they arrived at The Plaza Tremblay, the leader of another group, took them in to keep them safe from Magnus. Within hours of arriving Jess has now caught sight of someone she thought she'd never see again...

[Atomyk]

Name : Shannon Greene

Age : 23

Appearance :



She's a bit tall and slender for her age. She's about average weight for her height though, and she's got slightly toned legs/upper body through a regular workout she has. Most apparent about Shannon is her blonde hair. This is largely from her mother, though a touch of her father's red hair can be seen in the color of her own. Unlike her mother, who wears her hair far past her shoulders, Shannon chooses to keep her hair at shoulder length, or not much further beyond that. Her skin is rather pale and she tends to burn rather than tan when exposed to the sun.

Skill : Shannon likes to be athletic, and runs almost every day. She loves to look her best, and almost always eats healthy. She's also big into fashion, hoping to be a designer when she is older. Shannon is very good with her hands and has a good sense of technology/machinery. Her father always kept her informed of the kind of trinkets she worked with, and Shannon would often become pretty interested in his work.

Weapons :
- Knife (No serrated edge)
- 9mm pistol (little ammo)

Personality : Shannon has been described as "Perky and optimistic", which is quite the contrast when compared to her surly best friend, Danny. She has a sunny disposition most of the time, and tends to bottle her negative emotions away. It's because of this that Shannon isn't a big fan of drama. When people don't get along, it tends to get on her nerves. This is most apparent with her friend, Danny, who is a bit too surly sometimes for her liking. With most people, Shannon is perhaps a bit too agreeable, willing to stop what she is doing to go along with what she believes will make someone happy. The only person she tends to disagree with is Danny. Shannon fears not being important to anybody. She has a strong desire to be on good terms with people.

After the apocalypse started and Shannon found herself separated from everyone she cared about, her personality took a hit. The sunny disposition she was known for was now buried under some heavy sadness and hopelessness.

Bio : Shannon was an only child, born to two parents who never desired to have more than one child. Her father worked as a mechanic for as long as Shannon could remember, and her mom had always been in and out of waitress jobs. She stayed familiar with her parent's work, developing an interest in machines and technology from her father. When Shannon was in grade school, she met Daniel Heidecker, who she would always poke fun at. It wasn't until they were almost in high school that they became close. Danny was a bit less grumpy when he was younger and more accepting of the bubbly kind of person Shannon was. She liked to smile, always liked to smile. Her cheerful demeanor tended to rub off on her friends (even Danny, occasionally). Danny quickly became her closest friend, visiting her and hanging out with her whenever he could get a spare moment. However, Danny eventually became more closed off from others as time went on, and soon Shannon and her family were the few people he associated with. When Danny became estranged from his own family, he went to live with Shannon and her family. After high school, the pair moved to a different state to live with Shannon's pen-pal, Monica.

When the apocalypse started, Shannon lost her sometimes-kind-of boyfriend Brandon in the initial aftermath and she was forced to separate from her friend Monica. While attempting to get back to her parents, Shannon found herself separated from Danny as well. This greatly affected Shannon, who lost hope in getting in contact with her family. She's fallen in and out with various groups since then.

Name: Daniel "Danny" Heidecker / Rudy

Appearance:



Gender: Male

Age: 23

Bio: Of his family, Danny really only developed a bond with his younger sister, Joscelyn. He was never quite on the same level as his mother and father, who always seemed to want Danny to be something he wasn't. He was just never as smart as they wanted him to be it seemed. In some attempt to impress his parents, Danny started getting into sports when he got into high school, taking a particular interest in basketball and MMA. Through this, Danny found it easy to get friends. Still, in his senior year, Danny started to find himself closing off from most of the people he knew. The only person who was exempt from this sudden behavior was Danny's best friend, Shannon.

The pair had met in grade school and developed their friendship over time. It eventually got the point that Danny would spend more time at Shannon's than his own house. He enjoyed being around her parents far more than his own. It had been often whispered and joked about that Danny and Shannon were a couple, though truthfully their friendship had always been purely platonic.

For reasons known only to Danny, he had started acting out at home. He was never quite on good terms with his parents, but never to the degree of actively yelling at them. For a while, Danny's home life was a mess. When he realized this was negatively impacting his relationship with his sister as well, he started making plans to move out and live with Shannon's family. After a major falling out with his parents, Danny was quick to finalize the move. He lived with Shannon and her family for about a year, keeping in contact with only his sister. At 18, Shannon and Danny moved to a different state to live with Shannon's pen-pal, Monica.

When the apocalypse started, Danny and Shannon were forced to separate from Monica. While attempting to get back to Shannon's parents, Danny found himself separated from Shannon as well. Danny fell into despair for a time, believing Shannon to be dead. He eventually fell in with Myriah's group as they were initially starting Outpost. Danny came close to Myriah, who started calling him "Rudy" as a joke. Danny decided to keep the moniker and he eventually became known as Rudy amongst the people of Outpost.

Name: Tyler Salem / "Thomas Zuchowski"

Appearance:



Gender: Male

Age: 36

Bio: Tyler's life was wholly unremarkable before the apocalypse. He'd married his girlfriend, Helen, at 28 and came to live a middle-class existence with her and his two eventual children. He was a contract worker working in construction and his wife was an aspiring nurse with a small growing hobby as an author. Tyler didn't have the closest relationship with his parents, but the death of his mother when he was only 35 inspired Tyler to work toward a greater relationship with his father.

The apocalypse a year later put a stop to all that, where Tyler's father was one of the many initial victims of the outbreak. Tyler managed to get his family to a refugee camp, where he believed they would be safe. The situation around them quickly deteriorated and the refugee camp became smaller and smaller. A giant horde finally finished the camp off for good and took the lives of Tyler's wife and son. Tyler and his little girl, Katie, fell in with the other survivors. Tyler swore to protect his daughter from the horror surrounding her.

Their group were a disorganized mess at first, losing and gaining members haphazardly. Leadership of the group fell on many different individual's shoulders. When it finally landed on Tyler's shoulders, it was his status as one of the original members and a family man that put him there. He didn't desire to lead at first, and the few deaths the group suffered under his care only made Tyler dislike the position more. Eventually, Tyler saw his role as more of a protector and a leader, and he wanted to protect his people like they were family. It was around this time that a man named Brad joined the group, who quickly fell in awe with Tyler. Unfortunately, further death put the group at odds. They suffered bandit attacks and suffering at the hands of other humans.

Around the time a woman named Lynn joined the group, Tyler suffered betrayal by one of his group members, who stole supplies and ran off on his own. Tyler became depressed and vulnerable within his position as leader. He bonded with Lynn and eventually started a relationship with her. Still, his people were displeased, so after a large chunk of them went off on their own, Tyler decided he had to lead the group with a heavier hand. The group grew upset with Tyler getting harder on them and they lashed out, making him turn further into a dictator. Eventually, the kinds of people that tolerated Tyler's behaviour were mostly men with shady morality. Tyler came to believe this was the only way for his group to survive, but he was still upset with the world around him. Tyler wondered if he could change it all.

Tyler was initially encouraged by Lynn to work toward a better future, but Tyler came to believe that future was unobtainable with the rotten people all around him. Betrayal eventually was met with death, and Tyler thought of a plan to ensure the survival of the next generation-- his daughter's generation. His group came to clear the catacombs underneath New Orleans, where Tyler eventually began to bring girls so that he could get them pregnant and raise their child in the manner he felt was best for the future. Tyler kept his daughter Katie locked away in the catacombs to shield her from what he had to do. Eventually, Tyler realised that the men working for him were restless and unpredictable. When even threats of execution didn't keep them in line, Tyler was forced to construct an arena for them to entertain themselves with. Even more, Tyler let the men have sex with his pregnant women. It was necessary, he believed, for the future he envisioned.

Lynn, already disgusted by Tyler's actions, felt that this was the final straw. She left the group and Tyler grew furious. He killed anyone that supported Lynn and sent a group after her, though they were unsuccessful in their search.

Tyler continued this way of life until he came across a man named Bruce Levi, the mayor of a community called Haywood. The two struck a deal where Levi would secretly give his women away to Tyler in exchange for supplies. This deal continued uninterrupted until the people of Haywood discovered Levi's secret and overthrew him. They sought to eliminate Tyler and planned an assault on his catacombs. Just before the attack, Tyler managed to capture Lynn, though he was ultimately unsure what to do with her. He hated her for leaving, but he still cared about her in some way. Still, he put her into his arena to entertain his men, believing Lynn was ultimately strong enough to survive. During Haywood's attack, Lynn escaped from her prison and revealed to Tyler she had been infected in the arena. She attacked him as she turned and began to overpower him. Brad saved Tyler's life and killed Lynn, but was bitten by her as a result. Tyler was then forced to kill Brad.

The attack resulted in many of Tyler's men being killed and the walkers in the arena being let loose. The walkers ended up killing his women, ending Tyler's hope for the future. One of Tyler's raiders, Lauren, had grown upset with Tyler and escaped with his daughter during the assault. She and her boyfriend Bull managed to survive with Katie in tow. Tyler, on the other hand, found an injured man, Enrique. Tyler told the man that his name was Thomas and that he was a prisoner. The pair then escaped the catacombs with one of Tyler's men, Bex, who went along with the charade.

A few weeks later, Tyler and his trio sought to enter a community called Outpost. Tyler now called himself "Thomas Zuchowski". Eventually, the three were let in and Tyler became a member of the community's scouts. He met a man named Matt who was tired with the leadership of Outpost and wanted more power. Tyler worked with him to frame the leader of the scouts, Reggie, for murder and mutiny. Matt became known as the man to take down Reggie and Tyler became the new leader of scouts due to his work in taking down Reggie and the friendships he had made.

Tyler then wanted the scouts to attack Haywood, where he believed his daughter had been taken. Matt convinced Outpost's council to approve of the idea and the plan was in motion. The stand-off between the scouts and the people of Haywood resulted in Lauren being murdered under Tyler's orders and Tyler's duplicity soon after coming to light. Still, Tyler managed to escape with his daughter, the person that mattered the most to him. He realised his mistake in hurting countless people to attain some hope for the future when his hope for the future had always been his little girl. Tyler then left New Orleans with Katie and travelled North, where they eventually came to Baton Rouge.

His unit was one of many assigned to protect the refugee camps across the United States, specifically one in Texas. Over the first few months of the outbreak, the camp repelled several assaults from both the undead and other humans, but with mounting casualties. Finally, about a month ago, the camp was totally overrun and nearly all of the inhabitants killed. Cody was one of the few who managed to escape the gory melee, bound for another camp in New Orleans. Though he sustained no physical injuries, Cody was left thoroughly traumatized by the incident and now suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result. Not long after entering Louisiana, Cody discovered the second refugee camp had been destroyed shortly after his and during the journey, his two fellow survivors died, leaving him alone and without direction in a dying world.

Eventually, Cody found himself at The Pub where he became fast friends with Hazel Lawrence and Meghan Cordon. After Sylar Macey brought a group of scouts to The Pub to carry out a mission, Cody joined them. When offered the chance to save the girl, Emma, Cody went for it.

Name: James Feryana

Appearance:



Age: 15
Skills: James is a really good liar, and is good at escaping things.
Personality: James is a kind, nice person, who likes to be outside. Well, he likes to be outside when he can be. James is a really shy and fearful person, who is made upset easily and easily cries. He is also really good liar, and tells lies to get himself out of things. Unfortunately, when you lie, this can lead to future consequences if the truth is revealed...
Brief Bio: James was a student at school. He always lied, and he always got out of things. When the walkers came, James was at home by himself. His front door was knocked down, so James took a sharp knife and ran out the back. James didn't know the fate of his parents at first, but he eventually learned that they had become walkers.

Alone and frightened, James ran into Shannon Greene shortly after she lost a friend of hers. Not wanting to leave the boy alone, she had him tag along with her, but the pair were soon attacked by Tyler's raiders. They escaped and eventually ran into Daniel Crowe, Amelia Stephens, and Polyester Homes. As Daniel's sister had been kidnapped by Tyler's raiders, the group travelled to Haywood to assist in their attack. After this, James became a citizen of Haywood and began to look up to Shannon as a mother figure. He was kept safe during the battle between Robert and Daniel with the help of Shannon and Daniel. After Tyler's attack on Haywood, James left Haywood with Shannon, Emma, and Valentina.

Name: Damian Copperton

Appearance:



Age: 28
Skill: Combat with his blades, Climbing/getting around, speed.
Preferred Weapon: A katana (or wakizashi's) named Penelope

Personality: Damian is quick to judge and quick to anger, though his ability to make decisions and form opinions quickly has certainly come in handy during the apocalypse. Small transgressions or mistakes on his part are quickly forgiven or forgotten, however he carries a major grudge towards large issues. Thanks to his skills, he is arrogant, but confident of himself ad his skills. His trust is a hard earned thing, however once one were to obtain it, one would be able to find a fierce and loyal friend or ally in Damian, protective of those he cares about and are worth it. His suspicion in strangers is high, and often is of the opinion that a job will only work well when he is the one doing it. His determination to survive knows few limits, though is guided by a strong set of morals still. His morals are not completely the same as everyone else sometimes tough, greed and self-preservation often getting the better of him. He will do what it takes to survive, but make sure that what survives remains worth fighting for.

Brief Bio: Damian is silent abut his past. Before the world went to hell, Damian was tangled up in the criminal underworld, involved in car thefts, pit fighting, drug deals and robberies big and small.The scars on his left arm even today are an indication that he used to be a drug addict. Thankfully, he managed to start to break free from his addiction before the outbreak, while afterwards there simply was no chance for him to relapse, ironically something that helped him break free from his less than perfect life even before it became a simple struggle for survival.

[QT]

My Characters:

Hank Galey

Floyd Conlon

Jennifer Smith

Seth Nguyen

Richard Treis

Alison Irving

[Sarpedon]

Name:
Richard "Ricky" Cline

Appearance:
His lower arms and hands bear a collection of linear scars earned from practice with live blades. His left arm also shows off a nasty bite from a crocodile that had been a little too enthusiastic about getting an easy meal. His boots and his belt were made from just that beast's skin. He likes to keep his hair slicked back neatly, but has taken to neglecting it since the fall of civilization. Since his employment as a gaff hand he has taken to wearing a simple, but fairly heavy leather jacket, having discovered that it helped a great deal, though he wished he might have known that before a crocodile tried to have lunch at the expense of his arm.

A more recent development is his decision to wear his knives strapped to his hips, making them much easier to access. A Bowie knife rests on his right hip, and an Arkansas toothpick sits on his left. He keeps his Colt Cobra in an ambidextrous holster that he carries inside his waistband. He will shift it around depending on what he is doing, but he prefers to carry it either against the small of his back, or right side, next to his appendix.

Age:
27

Skill:
Cooking, animal processing, knife-fighting

Preferred Weapons:
Knives, snub-nosed revolvers

Stuff:
In addition to his clothes and weapons, Ricky has recently picked up a backpack for himself, one he'd found while scavenging in an airport. It was plain, black, and had seen far better days, but it continued to serve him well. Into he'd stuffed a change of clothes, some canned food, a can opener, a box of powderless blue nitrile gloves, size large, and a box of fifty .38 special rounds he'd found in someone's house. It wasn't quite full, but he still had plenty left, in his opinion. His most important possession, however, is the waterproof tackle box he has stuffed full of the medication he requires to maintain his more rational thoughts. On the outside of the bag are strapped his one-litre water bottle, and his Tim Hortons mug, the latter of which is large enough to hold an entire pot of coffee, with a little room left over for cream and sugar.

Personality:
While seemingly friendly and cooperative, he has a slight tendency toward sociopathy, most notably he has a hard time understanding the value of life. Medication has helped in the past, increasing his impulse control and aiding in rational thought.

Brief Bio:
Ricky was born in the Great White North, but moved to the United States when he was just barely over a year old. His parents had wanted to try out life in Canada, but a family emergency drew them to the southern United States. That didn't stop them from visiting friends they had made in the Maritimes, however, and Ricky soon found himself holding dual citizenship and drifting from the eastern-most parts of Canada, down the coast to Louisiana. Most of his family settled in and around New Orleans around the time he finished high school. Around that time, he was also diagnosed with a mental disorder that doctors claimed was easily curable with medication. They made the mistake of thinking that the future stabilization of his hormones could result in his brain sorting itself out while also being affected by the medication. This would not be the case, and he found himself looking at a lifetime on medication.

He moved back to Canada for a few years after high school to attend a community college where he earned a diploma toward getting his Chef's Red Seal. From there he moved back to New Orleans, where he was told there was an apprenticeship open for him. What followed was a great deal of confusion and a struggle to find himself a job. Work wasn't terribly difficult to find, however there seemed to be no apprenticeships available by the time he arrived to look into them. Eventually Ricky settled for a job on a crawfish boat, where he was given the exciting job of making sure nothing untoward got into the boat. That included anyone who thought they could go around stealing other people's crawfish traps. To that effect he began carrying a pair of very large knives into the swamps with him, having realized that people were barely phased by the sight of a shotgun, but the idea of a man with a knife seemed to strike fear into the hearts of most bayou pirates. His captain was even kind enough to gift him a snub-nosed Colt Cobra in .38 special, and while he appreciated the thought, and carried it everywhere, he spent more time honing his abilities with the knives he chose to carry, thinking it would take more practice to get good with close combat, than it would with a firearm. Unconcerned by his mistaken belief, the man was quite successful in deterring both thieves and small crocodiles, and found himself becoming an expert at more than just cooking animals. It wasn't the sort of work he'd been looking for, but the physical nature of the job appealed to him, and he found he didn't mind it as much as he'd thought he might.

By the time he finally found an apprenticeship, he was confident in his ability to dress any kind of wild game, something that helped him immensely as he worked toward his red seal. His time on a crawfish boat had been inspiring, however, and he didn't let his fighting skills lapse just because he didn't necessarily need them any more. Of course he still did little in the way of practice with his revolver, managing only to keep it maintained in case he did need it. Instead he focused on maintaining his own physical shape and his abilities with a knife. Unfortunately, he'd find zombies overthrowing the world before he ever earned his red seal. The worst part, he thought at the time, was the fact that it happened in the middle of his vacation. He'd been visiting friends across the border when he heard about the initial stages of the disaster. He thought he could wait out this sort of thing, but it didn't take long to realize that the airport wasn't going to be running when it came time for his return flight. With gas stations out of fuel and nothing to do about it, he started a long walk to Louisiana, hitching or stealing rides when he could, but finding he spent more time on his feet than behind a wheel. When he came to terms with the idea that these were zombies, and not people, he stopped feeling anything about ending their unlives. Not even medication could give him any sort of feeling toward the things. That didn't stop him from raiding every pharmacy he could find on the way toward his home, however, as he was reluctant to lose more touch with reality.

The trip south took far longer than he liked, and even after so long in transit, the hordes of undead seemed unshrinking when he witnessed the streets of New Orleans. He gave up on trying to get home, and instead focused on surviving once more, like he had for the last ten months. Unfortunately, at this point he was lost, unsure where exactly he was. Nearly a year without civilization to maintain the area left it in tatters, and the chef took to wandering aimlessly, and considering drifting his way back to Canada...

She would later return back after driving of to find out she was with a small group of survivors headed by Abram and two other woman, it was when she realised Jessalyn had a child and freaked out. She remained with the group and entered Baton rouge even if it was rather quiet within the group and the officer not fully trusting them all.

Not long in there stay however, Turisa deciding she had to try and trust these new found people, Gave Sam the keys to her truck so they could do a supply run while she kept an Eye on Leah and Jessalyn. By time she came downstairs that morning Jessalyn was already outside being tricked by some man, despite Turisa caution and actions, Her hesitation cost her the chance to try and save Jess from being kidnapped and chasing the van down the street was simply not good enough.

Turisa finally broke down over it when Abram and Sam returned and was looking for Jess after Leah told them she was missing. A crying Turisa told them of the events that unfolded and her failure to save the woman and child. The tension between her and Abram was high and no longer could the woman trust this group no more after hearing Abram clocking his gun, This made her uneasy as she expected the guy to kill her.

Chae Ryeŏn

"I dunno, an apocalypse wouldn't be too bad... Hey! If they're dead, then you don't have to pay your debts, right...? I actually think that'd be hella rad, y'know?"

Chae Ryeŏn (pre-apocalypse)

Name: Chae Ji Ryeŏn
Age: 26

Appearance: Although varied at 1/2 Korean, 1/4th Vietnamese, and 1/4 Puerto Rican, Chae's ancestry doesn't exactly spell out 'melting pot,' but still, mesh together well with her own sense of fashion, to form a woman who possesses a very smokey, dark beauty.

Face + Body Type

Soft, almost black, almond-shaped eyes serve as the centerpiece of a porcelain, heart-shaped face. Full lips, a button shaped nose, and high cheekbones give a proud, if playful, profile. The shadows of the blemishes of her teenage years also dot her face, almost as freckles. Her skin is a sandy, golden brown, tinged with the shades of all of her family, tanning well is trait gifted from ancestry. Upper back length, coffee black hair frames it all, weal curls the longer it stretches down. Atop her head, rests a blue-black woolen cap-- a memento from childhood.

Physically, Chae is unassuming. She's tall for a woman, sure, able to meet the eyes of most men without needing to look up. But she isn't physically frightening. Time spent walking has given her legs more tone, sure, but generally, her upper body is somewhere between 'skinnyfat' and 'starving.' Her figure is one that is well proportioned, but her bust is several sizes below average. Black tattoos pollute the lengths of her arms as well as her belly and back, all relating vaguely to the Arcana, Theosophy, magic, numerology, hip hop, and poetry.

Skill(s):

• Stealth
• Creative thinking
• Scavenging
• Speech (Very effective in dealing with people... the infected... not so much)
• Once drank an entire bottle of absinthe in one pull

Preferred Weapon(s):

• Improvisation (extreme/master proficiency)
• Broken bottles/Stilettos (Light, short range, thrusting or stabbing weapons) (above average proficiency)
• Revolvers/Handguns (Small guns) (average/low proficiency)

Personality: Chae is someone who, at her core, loves life, and loves loving things in life. Generally unconcerned with pursuing the same worldly pleasures as most found themselves chasing before the apocalypse. Chae was, more or less, a bum, less out of laziness, and more out only being truly concerned with her passions, and what made her happy. Still, even then she was full of self doubt, loathing and depression. She feels abandonment easy and tries not to stay too close to anyone, even people she considers friends. While some of these traits have helped her vastly since the Fall, other have proved ideologically detrimental. And occasional bouts of depression, stemming from many things, such as her surroundings and her undressed psychological issues, occasionally leave her so lethargic and apathetic she may be unable to move.

Chae, like the music she loves, is an ocean of beautiful emotional meaning and variability, melancholic and bangers. At her best, she's a clever, sarcastic, and pleasant idea woman who'll just as soon hit on everyone in a room as she would throw up her Wu-Tang 'W.' At her worst, she can be an unresponsive, vulnerable wreck, defined by her own insecurities and baggage.

Needlessly Lavish Version

Yesterday

[+]

Theme: Swimming Pools (Drank)(Instrumental) - Kendrick Lamar

"Uuuggggggggghhhhhhhhhh..." Chae's girlish groan polluted the semi-humid, still swamp. She and her companion walked, a lone pair on a road that seemed to go on forever, itself only polluted by abandoned cars and the occasional town. Atlanta was a long way away now, and most of the journey getting to Louisiana on foot. However, in spite of this, or perhaps because of it, Chae was prone to extreme bouts of ennui, all while avoiding the roaming hordes.

A roll of the eyes came from the man who walked by her side, something that sounded like the bastard child of a sigh and a dry chuckle escaped his lips. As if preempting his response, Chae spoke beyond a strained onomatopoeia.

"Dude, I'm sooooo bored!" She rolled her head back, as if to declare it to the sky, "God, why did you have to make the apocalypse so boring?"

The man smiled, settling on silent laughter, "Just chill, Chi chi," He spoke in a deep, Latin tinged voice, "You'll wake the nzumbi."

She scoffed, "'Least that'd be something, Chito..." after a moment, she gave a resigned sigh, "No, you're right... you're totally right." She kicked a pebble off the road as they continued on, "So then, how much further now?"

With practiced speed, Chito adjusted his back pack, maintained his pace, and pulled out a very worn looking road map. After darting his eyes between points on the map and road signs for several minutes, he folded the paper and put it back in it's pocket just as fast. His shrug was both ecstatically happy and completely nonchalant, after weeks, months... however long they had been at it.... Chae was beginning to recognize how completely subdued the man's emotions were. "If it's accurate..." he began, "And we maintain this pace..." he said, a tone of playful remembrance, "I guess we might make to Baton Rouge before night."

"Really?" Chae, on the other hand, wanted to express her excitement by practically breaking into a jog, "This!" She started, accessing the innards of her own backpack with equally practiced skill, "Calls for a drink!" As if it was the last of it's kind, Chae held the bottle of Jack Daniels towards the sun.

"I'll pass." Was Chito's quick response.

Chae smirked, a 'you don't know what you're missing' type smirk. She wasted no time in uncapping the bottle-- three swigs-- a toast. A toast to days spent walking from one city in Louisiana to the next and even longer spent getting from Atlanta to where they were now. That familiar pleasant warmth filled her body. Everything felt just a tiny bit more spaced out.

"You're gonna get us killed, Chi chi."

Chae, without speaking, simply gave her traveling companion a wink bordering on coy.

A Few Days Before It All Came Apart

[+]

Theme: Runway H - Death Grips

Chae hated this.

Her demeanor seemed to cast a generally disheveled aura upon the room, letting her feelings known to the mousey University students that seemed to surround her. Freshmen no doubt. Her presence had to be a dominating force to them-- as she sat, legs crossed, all the emotion of fiery Latin Bonita coupled with the hangover of said Bonita's husband on a siesta-- of course, there was also the anxiety that came with piling into a cramped financial aid office.

The room was painted a dreadfully 'calming' blue, that only seemed to give strength to Chae's beating migraine. Around her, in hard plastic seats, were students of GSU, each more nervous than the next. Despite that, there was a hope to their youthful angst that Chae envied. She wasn't much older than them-- but even at her age with her debt and demeanor, she was, compared to them, an absolute failure.

A bankrupt, lazy, sexy failure. She would correct herself.

Lined against a single wall, the students, young or not, were only given two options in their waiting room purgatory; SLEEP- which, while appealing, carried with it the risk missing your name being called. Or WATCH TV- Which presented itself as the only real option of the two. On now was the news, they were doing some live report on some new, hyper-rare sickness or something. The hangover continued to bump against Chae's skull.

Every few minutes, a woman's voice would DRONE over an intercom that sounded inches away from death. She would announce some name, and with clockwork precision, one of the students ahead of her would stand and walk towards a darkened hallway, as if the financial aid advisers were a guillotine.

Functionally, they were!

The Day It All Returned To Nothing

[+]

Theme: Komm, Süsser Tod (Evangelion version) - Arianne & Shiro Sagisu

I know, I know I've let you down,

I've been a fool to myself,

I thought that I could,

live for no one else,

"Halmonee!?"

Chae was seriously beginning to panic. She was practically running from room to room in the old creaky house, screaming for her grandmother. The woman who had, essentially, let jobless, permanently sophomoric Chae live with her, rent free, for the past 7 years. Five Points was just on the outskirts of Downtown Atlanta-- but even here, already, chaos was beginning to break.

But now through all the hurt and pain,

Its time for me to respect,

the ones you love,

mean more than anything.

A panting Chae ran past a TV in the rustic living room, once something of an artist's pad, it now existed in a state of discord. The only functioning appliance in the house being a TV-- between bouts of static, the monotone, robotic message urged citizens to seek shelter in Atlanta.

A derisive scoff was all it got in reply from Chae, busying herself with packing in between frantic cries fro her grandmother. Atlanta would be a death wish; she'd seen them, people with the infection, the monsters that they become, she couldn't deal with that-- not right now. The tears were still warm in her eyes just thinking of the sight.

So with sadness in my heart,
I feel the best thing I could do,
is end it all,
and leave forever,
whats done is done, it feels so bad,
what once was happy now is sad,
I'll never love again,
my world is ending...

No. Atlanta, other people, that would be bad. They needed to run away-- A few of her friends from GSU had agreed, between them all, she'd managed to organize a weird impromptu escape plan. She had family in Tybee Island. They could get there fine with a group of 10ish people, as long as everyone pitched in for gas. A few days south would be enough time for the WHO or the government or whatever to get everything in order.

Right?

I wish that I could turn back time
'cause now the guilt is all mine
can't live without the trust from those you love.
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love and pride
because of that it's killing me inside

They all had needed little convincing to go pack. Chae didn't exactly have faith in the government to keep her best interests in mind through this. They never had. But there were more upstanding citizens than she at risk in all of this! Good people! And not just half-baked anarchists-- like actual law abiding, tax paying citizens. They had to try to resolve this in a few days. If her enlisted entourage was fast and they were all lucky getting out, they'd all be gone within the hour, Tybee before sunset, everything calmed down in a few weeks.

Now, if only she could find her grandmother...

"Halmonee!!!"

It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down,
it all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down,
in my heart of hearts,
I know that I could never love again
I've lost everything
everything, everything
that matters to me,
matters in this world

~~~

Chae stood silently. Sirens blared in the distance. People were yelling, different voices, different types of screams gliding all over her slight figure. Somewhere, something was on fire. Tears welled in her eyes, not from smoke, but from the sight in front of her.

A gentle breeze carried with it a foul stench. It brushed lightly against her skin, her hair loose wool on her hat blew with it as it passed.

I wish that I could turn back time
'cause now all the guilt is mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
we can't forget love and pride
because of that, its killing me inside

In front of her stood a woman, clawing at shrubbery, in a small backyard.

It used to be her backyard, the womans. The woman was now, however, a mere shell. Chae still saw in it the woman... her grandmother... her halmonee. The eccentric Puerto Rican-Korean woman who had, essentially, let jobless, permanently sophomoric Chae live with her, rent free, for the past 7 years...

"...H-halmonee?" Chae's voice quivered, taking a tentative a tentative step forward, she laughing nervously to avoid addressing the reality, if even a little bit long, "Hey... Halmonee? C'mon. Let's..."

A growl came as the woman turned. Wrinkled arms appeared to be covered in lacerations and bite marks, equally wrinkled skin was as pale a curdled milk. Chae's eyes, filled with tears fighting to gush met those of the woman who was once her grandmother, freshly soulless. The infection drove the shell of the old woman forward, that low growl that once used to be the voice of her grandmother pushed her over the edge.

Chae fell to her knees.

It all returns to nothing, it all comes,
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down,
it all returns to nothing, I just keep,
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down,
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down,
it all returns to nothing, I just keep,
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down,

tl;dr

Chae Ji Ryeŏn, before the apocalypse, is an unassuming 26 year old college student. She lives with her halmonee (grandmother), is jobless, is failing classes and is horribly in debt thanks to years of barely earning FAFSA loans. She has friends, but chooses to spend most of her time pursuing artistic or musical interests or simply becoming intoxicated, one way or another.

Jobless, skilless, and depressed. A few days before the chaos, Chae sees a news report talking about the a new, extremely contagious and fatal 'mystery virus.' She doesn't pay it much attention, and instead turns her attention to her throbbing hangover, and the lack of initiative she feels when approaching modern education.

A few days later, utter bedlam strikes as the virus known to Chae as 'the infection' begins spread fast across metropolitan Atlanta. The military sends out messages to all local broadcasting stations asking citizens to calmly head to quarantine and safety zones in downtown Atlanta. Chae's mistrust of the military and government prompts her to organize her own escape route with some students from GSU. She has family in Tybee Island they can spend a few days with while things settle down.

It is on this journey that Chae meets Miguel 'Chito' Evans-- he saves her from being bitten by her own infected Grandmother, and the pair begin to form a friendship. The journey to Tybee takes longer than expected, almost 2 days, but the group arrives to find the small community is in a worse state than Atlanta. The group survives, and gather supplies and Intel (both at Chae's insistence) for several days. The city is heavily deserted-- and while most people seem friendly enough at day, marauders have already begun to roam the streets at night.

Chae's family (as did most) fled from Tybee after day one. She isn't that concerned about their well being, although she does wonder what her next move should be. The group splinters, and Chito, the quiet, mysterious freshman has family in Louisiana and Haiti, and suggests the pair head to Baton Rouge. She agrees and they say farewell to the remains of the GSU group.

Chito's raw strength and calm demeanor and Chae's inventiveness and fast talking have generally kept the pair alive and out of trouble. Avoiding the hordes of infected, and surviving mostly off of small towns, abandoned cars and fallen survivors, their journey thus far has been long and difficult. They approach the Louisianan city less with the hopes of finding Chito's family, and more with the hopes of finding a place to settle down in...

First Name: Amanda "Mandy" Marie Mason

Sign name: M hand shape smile

Gender: Female

Age: 27

Personality: Mandy got her sign name from her smile. She's always been a bubbly person. She's shy though. Obviously not quite, mostly because she can't tell when she is making noise.

Together they got out of the city. Determined to find June, Mandy led Victor on what he believed to be a wild goose hunt. He wasn't pleased and at first they parted ways for a bit.

Drew carried the persecution of such ideals as if he were Noah himself. Not that Drew doesn't believe that God gave him a warning.

He has a very "once you've seen the compound you're not leaving" attitude. As such there is some rumors that those people who left won't ever be found.

Levi Pascale

Age: 26

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 190 lbs

Weapons: Compound bow, sheath with 10 arrows

Appearance: Levi is slightly tanned and has striking hazel eyes. Once obsessed with his appearance, he still has the vestigial remains of a muscular body, though he isn't as large as he used to be. His hollow cheeks indicate a loss of weight in a fairly short time period. Levi's five o'clock shadow and short, scruffy black hair lend to a dishevelled appearance. His clothing often varies, depending on what he can scavenge, but he always wears a dirty, olive-coloured trench coat that is replete with pockets.

Personality: Levi tries to be cautious about his company, but he cannot repress his yearning to interact with others. He is constantly fighting with his desire to exist and his desire to live. The Golden Rule is his moral compass, but his strong sense of justice means that he can become violent if he finds you particularly brutal. He is not afraid to stand up for himself, though his perspicacity will always let him know when he's outmatched.

History: Born to upper class parents, the vast majority of Levi's life was easy. He did not take High School seriously, knowing that he had a confirmed job in his father's car rental business regardless of his grades. Unfortunately, his father changed his mind around Levi's junior year and began to crack down hard on his lazy and hedonistic lifestyle.

Levi managed to turn the tide of his abysmal grades around, eventually earning admission into the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where he embarked on a psychology degree. It was around this time where he, like most other young students entrenched in an eclectic atmosphere of learning, began to read into different political and economical systems. One which fascinated him was Marxism, and it was through Marxism that he learned of Leninism. The primary difference between the two, despite sharing many of the same ideas, was Karl Marx's belief that the fate of the working class was in their own hands. Lenin, on the other hand, advocated bourgeoise intelligentsia to act as their vanguard and lead the revolution.

Though Levi's opinions began to morph the longer he stayed at university, Leninism instilled in him a love for aiding the underdog. He knew that he came from a very privileged background and that his knowledge and familial wealth could be put to use in helping the most oppressed.

There was plenty to improve in America, but he became enamoured with the idea of leaving the United States behind in search of a country where his help would actually be valued. After dropping out of Lafayette, Levi embarked on a journey to Palestine, moved by what he construed as a racist and oppressive apartheid regime.

It was extraordinarily difficult for him to stay there. The luxuries of Louisiana were ineffable in comparison. Levi was a jack of all trades, doing whatever the NGO that recruited him would tell him. He did not specialise in anything and had been involved in work ranging from protection, farming and even cooking. However, what he enjoyed the most was teaching. The children there did not seem to take anything for granted and were grateful for the smallest of comforts; they were a stark contrast compared to the man he had been for most of his life.

As the conflict began to escalate and Gaza crumbled under heavy aerial bombardment, Levi received news from America that shook him to his core: his mother had died. He did not want to leave his duties behind, but he had to be there for his father.

Once he returned to Louisiana, he found his mother alive and well. It had been a ploy to extricate him from the war-torn land where his parents feared that he would die. Incensed by their betrayal, Levi refused to stay in the family home and drifted until an old friend, now living in Texas, allowed him to stay over at his apartment.

Levi did not contact his parents for over a year. He worked in a local restaurant, as a waiter, and fell into a long period of ennui. He was free to return to Palestine, but now that he was back in America, back in safety, his insides turned to ice at the thought. He no longer had the fortitude and he hated his parents for it.

When the outbreak hit, Levi swallowed his pride and called them to see if they were OK. Spurred on by news stories of the horror approaching, Levi left for Lafayette.

When he returned to the home of his parents, he found their corpses in the living room. Rather than being ripped apart by the new monstrosities, they had been executed by bullets to the head. Judging by the bare state of the house, they had been murdered by looters.

Levi buried his parents in the back garden and sought refuge in the house he had grown up in, boarding up the windows and the doors. Upon searching the house for anything the looters didn't take, he found the basement untouched. There, complete with a handful of targets, was his father's compound bow and a large supply of arrows. At first, he practised merely because he was bored. Eventually, he decided that he would rather face the world out there than die alone in his childhood home. He lost most of the arrows taking potshots at walkers in the street from his bedroom, but he gained invaluable experience.

Becoming just competent enough to survive out there (or so he felt), Levi left the house and began his search for others who were still alive and, most importantly, had retained their humanity.

Marcus Aurelius

Age: 30

Height: 6'0”

Weight: 170 lbs

Weapons: Glock 17, Fire Iron

Appearance: Marcus is fairly tall and has a skinny frame. His greasy hair falls to his shoulders and a haunted shade of blue stares out from beneath the unkempt fringe that often sweeps over his forehead. His facial structure is almost skeletal with gaunt cheeks and a sharp jawline. In an odd juxtaposition to his bedraggled head, he wears a crisp and neatly arranged suit. An obsidian black ensemble with a white handkerchief daintily hanging out of the breastpocket, it represents Marcus' seizure of spoil. The old world would never have allowed him such an exquisite attire, but the new world essentially gifted it to him.

Personality: Marcus is a capricious fellow, often alternating between amiability and wanton viciousness. Molded by a life harbouring many excruciating difficulties, he has found himself in possession of more power now than he did in the world before. He is a hedonist, eager to fulfill whichever desire takes his fancy.

History: Born in an extremely dysfunctional household, Marcus was rescued by the Child Protective Services from abusive parents and placed in several foster homes, never quite fitting any of them. These years would be some of the worst of his life and crucial to his later development, especially when he was placed under the care of sexually abusive foster parents.

When he became old enough that the state stopped feeling a responsibility for him, Marcus was out on the streets. Lacking access to a conventional education, he read as many books as he could. One of the books that inspired him was called 'Meditations', written by the great Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Infatuated by his musings on Stoic philosophy and perceiving it to have a nihilistic tone, Marcus adopted the Emperor's name for himself, shedding behind the identity of the frightened young boy who had been a victim for so long.

Adopting an amoral view on life, Marcus began to work odd jobs for local criminal organisations, ranging from murder to corpse disposal. As long as it paid, he was more than happy to do it.

Eventually, he saved up enough money to rent an apartment in Chicago's notorious South Side. As a free agent, Marcus did not have to deal with repercussions of his work from rival gangs. Unfortunately, he was not immune to law enforcement.

Picked up for suspicion of murder, Marcus was held in Cook County Jail, awaiting his trial. In a rare stroke of luck, something he was most certainly not accustomed to, the outbreak hit. The prison was flung into chaos and the inmates were able to take control. Marcus slipped out of the prison and stepped into the new America; a land of infinite opportunity.

He sauntered over and broke into the gaudiest sports car he could find while chaos and carnage ran amok in the street, cackling as the worries of ever being punished for a crime evaporated.

Marcus managed to get all the way to Arkansas before having to abandon the car. A group of men took him in, men who cared only about surviving. Nobody asked Marcus what he had been in his past life. He was good with a gun and wasn't scared of the walkers. That was all the knowledge they needed.

At least, that was all they needed for the timebeing. As they became closer, Marcus' eccentric behaviour began to worry them until he was exiled for keeping a decapitated walker head in his motel room. He thought it was harmless fun, a prop to recite Hamlet's 'Alas, poor Yorick!' speech to, but the others found it more macabre than anything. Fearing he would end up hurting them, Marcus was given supplies and a vehicle and told to leave.

Surprisingly, he left without killing anyone, as he had already grown bored of the men and was quite happy to find that he would not have to murder them for supplies. The vehicle broke down after passing the state boundary and now Marcus roams the streets of Louisiana, searching for pleasure.

Name: Anastasia "Annie" Kadrotuva
Age: 19
Skills:
Sewing - She can sew clothes, but can apply it to sewing open wounds, though.
Singing - Annie has a beautiful Soprano voice, but she is hard-pressed to sing anything but Russian songs.
Soccer ("Futbol") - She is rather good at the sport, but it's pretty useless in apocalyptic settings.

-Knife (Bowie-style)
-Hiking Stick (Sharp End)

Personality:
Positive
-Annie is usually optimistic
-Annie tries to see the good in people over the bad.
-Annie has a tender heart

Negative
-Annie's language barrier prevents her from getting very far with people, and said confusion also leads to her often being scared, as she has no idea what's going on.
-Annie can sometimes be Naïve.

Brief Bio:
Annie, born Anastasia Kudratova to Lienna and Maxim Kudratova, grew up in Chelyabinsk, Russia. Her father owned a small store on a street corner, and her mother taught in a local pre-school. At the age of 5, Annie's mother taught her to sew, and she became very good at it. In her 8th year of school, she started dating a guy named Oleg, who attended her same institute. They went on to date until she was in her senior year. The summer after her graduating high-school, their family took a vacation to America, where there experience was hijacked by the outbreak.

[Feisty-Pants]

Hider

Appearance:

Name: Mary-Jo Bobby Haggerty
Age: 29
Skill:
I'm good at a few things, y'hear! Things like whackin' Zombies with a bat, scavengin' for food n' such. The bolt cutters help tons wit' that. That and I love mah' Banjo. Great fer music, playin' a tune or two, and lurin' those peckerhead brain eaters outta' hidin'.

Preferred Weapons:
Banjo - For music, morale, and attracting zombies out of hiding.
Bolt Cutters - For cuttin' locks and cuttin' spines.
Metal Louisville Baseball Bat - For bashin' skulls an' stress relief.

Personality: Mary-Jo isn't what one would immediately label as an intellectual, though she might be a bit on the street-smart side o' things. Quick and decisive are her actions usually, but they're often not that well planned out. Strong of will though, one can certainly bet on that. A good God-fearin' woman, I'll tell you what.

Brief Bio: Now I know to y'all I don't look like much. Before the rapture happened and everyone got possess'd by the devil I was just a normal ev'ry day Wal-Mart Cashier. Not some silly namby pamby docta' or some so-called "brilliant" scientist who don't identify with what the Lord has provided us.

Blessed be His name, please grant me salvation from these here sinners.

I was a cashier at Wal-Mart when everythin' went mad. Zombies or whatever y'call em', brain-eaters, walkers, Banjo-Bait is what I call em'. Well, I tell ya that they broke into mah' store after we clos'd up fer' the evenin'. So I ran back t' the Sports Section and grabbed me a baseball bat and bashed their heads in after they took a few bits outta mah' coworkers.

That's alrigh' though, they were all liberals anywho. Bunch o' bleedin' hearts all of em'. Well, it got tricky because they all died too. And then they stood back up and started actin' all wonky. So I bashed their heads in too. Ever since, I've been wanderin' round' the county and hiding a bit. Scavenging from small stores and the like since all the Banjo-Bait tend to flock around bigger buildins'.

I always told em' that mom n' pop joints are the best places to go. But noooo, never believe the goddamn redneck. Idiots.
