[Nallore]

FEAR The Walking Dead: Survival.

It's just a very normal day in Philadelphia, everyone is living very normal lives completely tourists visiting Independence Hall to see the Liberty Bell, or going to Philadelphia Museum of Art or going on bike rides through the busy streets. Of course there is the busy city traffic, the weather is warm and sunny. People going to and from their jobs or school, everyone is completely unaware that there is a virus out there that brings the dead to life.

Then the disease starts to run rampant in the coming weeks, the military is eventually called in to enact martial law, ordering people to stay in doors. When the dead start to then overrun the military things become desperate and the military starts to firebomb the city just to try and keep it contained and quarantining the rest of the city off from the rest of the world. Will the survivors get out of the city alive? Or become walkers themselves?

Michael Wesley

----Michael Wesley ----

---

Size: 6'1

Physical Shape: Michael's body is well taken care of. At a healthy weight, and broad-shouldered, he has a muscled physique, that comes with years of eating meat and vegetables, handling rowdy animals, and drawing bows taut. Hunting has garnered him a steady food supply over the time of the apocalypse, so starving has never been something that he has really experienced at this day and age.

Age: 25 years of age.

Family: Grandpa - Doug Wesley ;; Grandma - Mary Wesley ;; Both are alive and healthy for their older ages.

Personality: Current Personality: As of right now, Michael is a respectful, hard-working young man with a good, smart head on his shoulders. He is usually busy, so he doesn't seem to hav emuch time for talking and lollygagging, but if you get him at a time where he isn't running errands for his ma or working for his pops, he can engage in conversation, with a natural charm that comes with being raised up right. He is a mature guy, but has no qualms about having fun and such. He is rather protective, and will stand up for those who are treated wrongly for no good reason.

Will, over the course of heavy survival and such, develop into: Michael can come off as unapproachable, but that's mainly because he tends to be a bit on the quiet side, having spent ample time thinking and mourning - thus making silence something he is intimately familiar with. While a bit cold-shouldering, Michael is a very down-to-earth, realistic man, calloused from witnessing the deaths of his loved ones. Focused on the task at hand, and mature, Michael can take on a leadership role rather easily - although he tend to be a loner, due to the fact that groups can easily limit mobility and survival chances. He isn't secretly evil, and is a naturally humane person. If he sees someone in trouble, there's a high chance of him helping. However, as stated before, he's realistic, and if there's no chance in Hell of them being saved without major loss on both sides, he will move on, albeit with a heavy heart. These trying times have made him merciless in certain situations, and he no longer hesitates to end the life of a human, if that human poses harm or threat to him or anyone close to him. Serious, and focused, Michael's first rule of survival is...'Survive'. Although he may not seem it at first, there are rare times where Michael will let down his guard and laugh/joke, but it's extremely rare. With close friends, he may let down his guard a tad, and crack jokes or engage in some type of banter, but don't expect it to be an often thing. Even then, him getting all laughy and hyperactive is a no-go.

Occupation: Hunter/farmer by trade, lived in the country with his grandpa and grandma. Sold animal fur/meat to a large hunting shop in Philly.

Equipment: A light-weight, heavy-duty backpack, a multi-tool, a scarred lighter, a small flash-light light, and a wallet - containing some money and a picture of his grandparents. Will also most-likely pack dried meat and water.

Weapons: His future weaponry consists of: A worn, yet highly-maintained and sturdy recurve bow, a leather-wrapped quiver with self-made, sturdy arrows, and a sharpened utility knife. His arrows are reusable, which he makes great use of, and is virtually silent;; It's rare that you would see him with a gun. The utility knife is strapped securely to his pants, and the bow is latched to a strap on his backpack; easy access. The quiver is peeking over his right shoulder, strapped to his back. A solid, light-weight crowbar is strapped to the other side, opposite to his canteen.

Background: Michael had always been raised to be a humble, hardworking young man. Born in a country home, in a plot of land where the forest was cut-off at, hard-work was always a part of his daily life. Cutting wood for the fire, tending to the cows and pigs, and going hunting with his grandpa, deep within the woods...that's how his life was. His mother was single, and had died giving birth to him, leading him into the custody of his grandparents. He didn't mind;; to him, those two would always be his real parents, no matter what. He was taught his studies by a hired tutor, and was taught how to be a man by his grandfather. He speared fish in the lake behind their home, he rode horses down the dirt trails, he helped build sheds and different contraptions for the animals and vehicles, and, the most fun of all, he hunted animals with Mother Nature, selling the fur and hide in the market whenever they went down into Philly - which wasn't often. When all of this happened, Michael and his grandparents knew nothing of it. They were getting old, and it was up to Michael to provide for the family;; he did so efficiently and immediately, spending his time roping the horses, tending to the pigs, chickens, and cows, and hunting deer, boars, and hogs in the forest.

Recently, he has taken his grandpa and grandma down into Philly for a time in the city. Just so that they can experience it a bit more, since they tend to keep to their farm.

Other: The stuff in his weaponry and equipment slots are all things he has at his home, which he will eventually get/wear once shit really hits the fan.

Set had a rigid upbringing under his religion of Judaism. He was drafted into the Vietnam war at the age of 20 and quickly rose through the ranks because of his quick thinking and skill.

Petra Novak

Name: Petra Novak

Age: 41

Gender: Female

Family:
Father - deceased before the outbreak
Mother - in Europe, status unknown
Brother - in America, status unknown
Husband - deceased during outbreak


Personality: Being from Eastern Europe, Petra is naturally on the colder side. Smiles are a rare commodity and laughs are even rarer. She speaks only when she feels it's necessary and has little patience for nonsense. Her temper is somewhere in the middle; she knows not to snap over petty things but will not let others walk all over her and will not tolerate people wasting her time. She is rough around the edges and will not lie for your benefit. She will call things as she sees them. She is usually independent and will not ask for help unless she truly needs it.

Bio: Petra grew up in former Czechoslovakia in the 70's and 80's. Political turmoil quickly became an ideal that she was familiar with. Her father and mother ran a small business that both her and her brother helped run, while trying to distract themselves from what was going on around them. In 1991, with the ending of the cold war, both Petra and her brother saw this as an opportunity to get out of Europe and go to America, "land of opportunity". However, they had little means of getting there and their parents refused to leave their country. Later on in 1992, Petra learned that a friend of the family had been able to make it to America. After contacting him, a man who was five year older than her, she agreed to marry him in order for her to get to America. Once in America and married, she was able to bring her brother over as well. Their parents stuck by their word and never left, what had become, the Czech Republic. Petra lived with her husband, despite their lack of common interests, until the outbreak. Her husband worked in construction while Petra made as much money as she could by tailoring clothing. The couple was never able to have children. During the chaos of the outbreak, Petra and her husband became separated in a crowd of panicking people and he was later discovered to be bitten. Since his death, Petra has been traveling alone.

Job Before The Outbreak: Part time seamstress/tailor

Disability/Fear: Obviously, she is an older woman so her body cannot take injury as well as someone with a younger body. She finds it hard to feel sympathy for others, and is apathetic a lot of the time. Not really a people person.

Weapon of Choice: melee weapons such as long knives and blunt trauma objects. Also wouldn't mind carrying a gun.
