The Walking Dead: Safe Haven -CLOSED

Chris Donovan

Chris's black '67 Impala SS was riding on Highway 5. It was morning and they had been driving the whole night. But this time it wasn't Chris at the wheel like usual. Since they couldn't find a place to stay for the night they had to keep driving. So somewhere around 11 PM Chris stopped the car and switched places with his sister who drove for the rest of the night as Chris slept on the passenger seat. Initially Chris wanted to drive the whole night but his sister offered to take his place since Chris was doing most of the heavy lifting, keeping them both alive and needed his rest. Chris started to wake up as his sister imidieatly took notice. "Good morning dear brother of mine. Nice to see you've slept so well. Because i'm spent!" Said Lisa as she started yawning. "We really need to find a place to stay, even for a few hours. It'll do good for us both!" Said Chris as he scratched his eyes and blinked fast for 5 times while breathing deeply.

In the distance Chris could see something like a small building with one gas pump near it. Didn't look like a gas station but it definetly attracted Chris's attention. "There! Stop there!" Said Chris patting his sister on her right shoulder. Lisa responded to Chris's request by stopping in front of what looked like somekind of diner. "Okay! Let's see if that pump still has gas in it. The last two we've encountered were empty!" He said with a little concern in his tone, almost as if he was afraid to read what the pump was showing. "YES! This one still has juice in it." He said as he balled his right hand into a fist, grabbed the hose and turned around to his car. In the meantime Lisa got out too and was sitting on the hood of the car, struggling to keep her eyes open as Chris started filling the car with fuel.

"Alright! That should do it! All full." Said Chris as he put the hose back inside the pump and pulled out his revolver. "Come on. Let's see what's inside this diner. Hopefully we'll find something useful." He said while holding the revolver towards the door with Lisa behind him. He approached the dinder's door and opened it with his left hand slowly and with caution. As he took one step inside Chris started aiming the revolver left and right with a concentrated look on his face. "I don't think there's anyone here!" Lisa said from behind Chris. "Yeah! This place is a real mess. Go grab a seat somewhere and get some shuteye. I'll take a look around and see if there's anything useful we can take." Said Chris as he lowered his revolver and Lisa nodded in approval.

Group:
For the moment it's just him and his sister but he will join up with the Dana Point group later on.

History:
Born and raised in Miami, Chris comes from a mixed family. His mother is or was of italian descent and used to work as a chef in a restaurant while his father was an english-american movie stunt driver. As a child Chris himself liked cars and enjoyed learning about them from his father, the same father that taught Chris how to use guns and how to hunt. But none of these things fascinated Chris more than music. He was listening to music all day. Especially rock. He had dreams of growing up and starting his own rock band. His father bought him an acoustic guitar for his 14th birthday and hired a teacher so he can learn how to play. Even the teacher was amazed by how fast Chris was learning. In that same year, Chris also gained a sister, named Lisa but unfortunately he lost his mother who died imidieatly after birth due to some complications. After high school and college Chris found work as a mechanic, in a car shop, and after spending 7 years there he decided to quit and open his own business. With help from his father, Chris opened up a shop where he was selling musical instruments, mostly guitars and also music, all rock and metal.

When all hell broke loose the first thing Chris did was to go home, where he found his father, now a walker, trying to kill his terrified sister who managed to lock herself in her room. With a heavy heart Chris killed his father with a kitchen knife and persuaded his sister to open the door. After a never ending hug, mostly from his sister who didn't want to let go of her big brother, the two started packing as Chris took his car stormed out of the city avoiding the main streets. As supplies were running dangerously low, Chris and his sister, well mostly Chris, started scavenging to survive. For a short while he was also in charge of a group of people that he found along the way and didn't have the heart to leave them behind. But they all died eventually and Chris and his sister ended up alone again. The last one, a 46 year old man, former cop, died by Chris's hand. The man tried to rape Chris's sister but Chris caught him in the act and slashed his throat with his KA-BAR, after a short fight between the two. Now the two siblings are somewhere in California. They don't have any real direction, they just keep moving because they can't stay in one place for long.

@LPFan you're accepted. :)

@josephb

Mighty thanks! I'll start composing my intro post right away.

The Walking Dead: Safe Haven -CLOSED

@LPFan WOW I SMELL A SUPERNATURAL FAN

ormaybeI'mtotallywrongwhatever

@Acromantula

I do like Supernatural, however that had nothing to do with my choice. I just love muscle cars, especially old school one's so I randomly picked one. I initially gave Chris a Ford F-150 truck but as I was writing the history for him I started having 2nd thoughts. Regarding the Impala from Supernatural and the one from Chris's CS, there are a couple more differences then that red line from the tires that you mentioned. The car from Supernatural had 4 doors instead of 2 and the rims where different.

<Snipped quote by LPFan>

It's from a Linkin Park song. We're just messing around being idiots
I thought you would know? :o

@Solace

Of course I know! What kind of fan would I be if I wouldn't. But anyway it dosen't matter. I can appreciate some good honest goofing around. I'll just wait and see what the GM says.

@LPFan No, dude relax. They're just joking around.

@Acromantula

But i'm not upset! And yes I realised that...eventually!

The Walking Dead: Safe Haven -CLOSED

What?!?! Are you two making fun of me or something. If you're not accepting any more players all you had to do is say it.

The Walking Dead: Safe Haven -CLOSED

@josephb I can make your 30+ character if you wish. I don't like playing youngsters anyway.
