Psychology

Adventurous * Lazy * Endearing * Naive

Sexuality: Heterosexual (Bicurious)
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: While some may describe Édouard as being a French Paris Hilton with mafia connections, that doesn't do him justice. Certainly, he has the vanity and needs of one who grew up accustomed to riches, and the worth ethic of a person who never had to work. From the moment he was born, everything was handed to Édouard on a silver platter, and while this did cause him to become a bit pretentious, it also sheltered him. There's an innocence about him that some may find charming, as while he's an adult, he still has a bit of the mentality of a child. He's old, but he hasn't really grown.

This causes him to be a bit reckless, always wanting to go out and do something interesting. Édouard is constantly reevaluating himself and where he is, hoping to find something to take away the boredom. Anything that he deems to be work is thrown out, but if he thinks of it as an experience or an adventure, his attitude changes. Too innocent and kind to run the mafia, Édouard has been forced to grow up and mature from the apocalypse, as he's survived without a household full of servants to take care of his every need. In a way, he's like a Trust Fund Baby leaving home for the first time, and interacting with the real world.

Habits: Whining, Fidgeting when seated
Hobbies: Thrill Seeking, Cards
Fears:

• Abandonment
• Never finding a sense of direction in his life
• Being unable to communicate in this post apocalyptic world

Likes:

• Sword Fighting
• Wandering Aimlessly
• Sleeping In
• Raves
• Cliff diving
• Indoor sky diving
• Tim Burton
• Luxury

Dislikes:

• Authority
• The English Language
• American Politics
• Work
• Academia
• Pressure
• Patience/Waiting Around

History

Your First Walker Encounter: Édouard was at the World of Coca-Cola Museum, enjoying himself and struggling to read the signs. He had been trying to get someone to translate for him, not realizing he had been bothering other tourists and not employees. Eventually, someone did him the kindness to come over to him, but he noticed there was something...wrong...with the man. The man lunged at Édouard, attempting to bite him, only for Édouard's bodyguard to shove at the walker. The walker fell over the safety rails and landed in a large vat of Coca-Cola syrup.

History Before Outbreak: Édouard enjoyed a relatively comfortable life in Southeastern France, living not too far from Italy. His parents were involved in la mafia française, trafficking all sorts of illicit goods. The youngest in the family with two older sisters, Édouard enjoyed all of the riches from the trade. He was given his own bodyguard and was taken care of by a household of servants and staff. The lifestyle he enjoyed earned him the nickname Joli Garçon, meaning Pretty Boy.

Édouard wasn't truly cut out for organized crime. Preferring parties and fine clothing to threats and underground networking, his parents groomed his sisters for running the business, and doted on leur petit prince. After protesting being taken to school, his parents gave in and allowed him to have private tutors. These tutors hardly stood up for themselves, only teaching Édouard subjects that he was interested in. Consequently, while he became fluent in Italian, he never learned to speak English.

His diva phase shifted into a bit of a rebellious one by the time he was 17, with Édouard getting multiple tattoos and piercings. He shunned the more flamboyant pleasures and began to dress comme un gothique. Hoping that they would be able to redirect his attention towards the family business, his parents began to make arrangements to send him to college to learn business. Those skills, they hoped, would help him eventually take over, much to his sisters' annoyance.

And while he did attend college, he mostly went there for experiences. He attempted to drop out on several occasions, only to be found learning how to "swashbuckle" in Cyprus. Frustrating his parents to no end, Édouard threw away a small fortune on unneeded items, such as buying a car, only to "lose it" the next day. From this, he became leur panier percé, known in English as a spendthrift.

At age twenty, Édouard told his parents he was going to America to find himself that summer. They gave a very weak protest, but he went off anyways. On his tour, he picked up very basic English, such as: "Toilet. Girl. Hungry. Where? Fuck off. Those few words and more helped him get around the country, along with his bodyguard and a guide book, written in French. Eventually, Édouard found himself in Georgia, and decided to spend his day at the World of Coca-Cola Museum in Atlanta.

History Since Outbreak: Félix, his bodyguard, is the only reason Édouard has managed to survive. Félix had taken a romantic interest in the boy, safeguarding him from harm as much as he could. For a while, Édouard explored a relationship with him, eventually ending it when he realized that he was not, in fact, gay. However, every so often, his experimental mood comes over him once again. When he was traveling with Félix, this became a special sort of hell for his bodyguard.

The pair of them fled the Coca-Cola Museum after the encounter, running to the penthouse suite that Édouard had rented. Félix wanted to run, but Édouard had become accustomed to a certain standard of living, and turned his nose up at the idea of leaving the suite. He insisted that anything they needed to survive could be found at the very top, and instructed Félix to barricade all of the entrances. For a few months, this method seemed to be working--until Édouard let a walker into the apartment, assuming it was the cleaning lady.

Needless to say, after escaping that situation miraculously, Félix managed to convince Édouard to leave the penthouse. The pair of them packed up everything they had and went inside of Édouard convertible, always having the roof up, much to Édouard's dismay. The pair of them lived in that car for the next three years, with Félix taking them to small towns and teaching (with some success) Édouard how to survive without a butler. Édouard picked up some various skills, gradually becoming more independent, and learning to fend for himself.

The pair were in Georgia when Félix and Édouard attempted to raid a REI type of store for more supplies. While inside, walkers surrounded Félix, and Édouard ran in cowardice, leaving Félix to die. Ever since, Édouard has been struggling to survive without his bodyguard, lamenting his fate and all of the so-called "wrongs" that have been done to him. Fortunately, he remembered the basics of how to get by--though Édouard recognizes that if he doesn't find other people soon, he'd likely end up dead within a few more months.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Caits @Nallore @Sigil @Charnobylisk @jakeb1993 @Morose

Alright, Sigil and I are working out an update for everyone's Cs's. It will be a new Post-Breakout Skill that will be added to the CS's. Once it is completed we will post it here in the OOC and you will need to add it to your character's CS. (This is only for characters that were active before the time jump.)

[Charnobylisk]

[Sigil]

@Caits @Nallore @Sigil @Charnobylisk @jakeb1993 @Morose

Had to make an edit to my last post to account for continuity. My bad. And apparently to specify that Bree did NOT ride her horse into the infirmary.

[FantasyChic]

So I was directed to this game by some of your lovely people. Is there room for an addition to the game? If not I will be content with waiting in the wings for a spot to open up.

[Lady Absinthia]

@FantasyChic We always have room for more! Just make a character via the CS coding provided and such, if you have any questions drop me a line or hit anyone else up here. Don't worry about coming in late. This RP is set up to where if you jump in at any point it's cool. Make the character to end their history outside of Newnan. Once the CS is done we will work out a way for your character to be brought in fully. ^_^ And now that things re evening up, I am removing the Male Only Characters rule, so which ever gender fits for you.

[Nallore]

Yay I can make more taco hunters then! :P

[Lady Absinthia]

@Nallore No, if we get another female, scales are tipped again and we go back to male only. You still have to bring in your other character first. He is counting as one of the men currently :P

[Nallore]

[Lady Absinthia]

History

Your First Walker Encounter: Raymond was investigating into a story that a contact of his had given him for one of his stories he had been working on for a local news station in El Paso Texas. Which was a corrupt city official stealing water from the city as well as money, he had snuck into the man's house as he did this Raymond started to search around the house until he made his way to the upper floor of the mansion he lived in. As Raymond explored the upper floor he started to notice that things had been toppled over, and a huge mess of papers, books, glass and other things were strewn across the floor.

When Raymond entered the bedroom he noticed a woman on top of the city official, and then he could see the blood all over the floor Raymond quickly took out his camera and took a picture. What he didn't realize was that he had the flash still on which the woman's attention turned towards Ray. He saw the blood all over her face and slowly started to stumble its way closer towards him, getting freaked out Raymond started backing away until he fell backwards. The infected woman started getting closer Raymond tried to talk to her but didn't get any words from her. Then he felt he was in danger, Raymond quickly reached for a blunt object, when she was upon him Ray quickly whacked the girl over the head causing the woman to fall. Completely freaked out Raymond ran out of the house and made his way back to the car and drove as far away as he could.

History Before Outbreak: Raymond was born as an only child, Ray's father Antonio was an immigrant from Parral Mexico he moved from Mexico to live in the US and got citizenship. That's when Raymond's father met Anastasia Raymond's father, Ray's father ended up becoming a police officer, while Ray's mother worked as an elementary school teacher. Living a rather normal life Raymond had made quiet a lot of friends in high school, he got good grades in school and rarely ever got into trouble. When Ray got to high school he joined his school's news paper club and even did some high school news, which he enjoyed it quiet a lot and eventually decided to become an journalist. Raymond eventually also started to take up Tae Kwon Do classes his father wanted him to learn some self defense.

Shortly after Ray graduated high school Ray decided to go into college to pursue his career in journalism he then moved out to Amarillo Texas. Raymond's college life was fairly normal and he enjoyed his time there nothing interesting had happened, he eventually got a job as a journalist for Amarillo's local news station during his career as an investigative journalist he eventually learned how to pick locks to try and break into buildings to try and get information for his stories. Shortly after getting a call from his father, he had heard the bad news his mother was diagnosed with cancer. Ray was very close to his mother, he would stop by at a local flouriest shop where he had met his future who would eventually the mother of his daughter. The two started to talk and hang out, which eventually turned into a romance and the two started dating.

Sadly Ray's mother ended up dying from her illness, he took it hard and started to be consumed by his work he found out that his wife was pregnant. Raymond spent more time in his work then be with his wife, eventually the marriage ended up falling apart.

History Since Outbreak: After what had happened that night in El Paso Ray decided he had enough and quickly tried to make his way back towards Amarillo where he knew that Kellie was still living there. Of course as he was trying to leave the city of El Paso things suddenly started to become worse. The city's power was shut off, and then the military and police started blockading the city and put up safe zones where Raymond was forced to stay in. Raymond couldn't get out he stayed there for several days until the military couldn't contain the dead in the city any longer, and when he had the opportunity Raymond took it and stole a car and bashed through the gates.

It would be several more days avoiding as many people as possible, after what he witnessed in El Paso Ray eventually made it to Amarillo and tried to look for Kellie even checking her shop. When he couldn't find her he thought either she made it out or the worse, Raymond started to travel east. He eventually found a group that he stuck with, he became a recruiter seeing whoever they came across would fit of course this group didn't last long. The group he was apart of never stayed in one place for to long, and when they heard of walls Ray's group were suspicious due to past experiences two years ago. They slowly one by one lost more and more people until they made it to Hoover Alabama where the last of Ray's group eventually were killed off by a horde. Leaving Ray alone by himself, Raymond continued to travel east alone when he finally came to Georgia a year later.
