@Demonic Angel

Well that is good to hear. I can't wait to read it.

Just remember we are all in California. The idea is for everyone to end up together at some point at the high school in Ramona California.

I don't want to use the same cities in California as we did in the other rp.

@Wick

Also i'm gonna have to change the city my character currently lives in from Minneapolis to something else, from California...

Name: James Harris

Gender: Male

Age: 31

Birthplace: Detroit, Michigan

Appearance:


Personality: James is the kind of guy that puts a lot of passion and dedication in whatever he does regardless of how big, small or meaningless it might be. He is a loyal and protective individual that would do anything for the people he loves. He usually keeps to himself and is not very good at socializing although he likes to hang out with the few friends he has. He also likes to say exactly what he feels and/or believes and never hides behind lies or false masks. James has proven to be quite adaptable and a fast learner.

Occupation: Car mechanic at his uncle's car shop.

Skills:
- A very talented car mechanic. Not exactly the best around but he can fix pretty much anything that has four wheels and an engine.
- Good hunter. Before being imprisoned, James used to go hunting with his grandfather quite a lot. After jail, he continued to go hunting, sometimes by himself, sometimes with friends, since his uncle wasn't exactly the hunter type, but was forced to use bows and crossbows because the law didn't allow him to carry firearms anymore.
- Marksmanship. All these years of hunting with either firearms or bows made James quite a good marksman and he rarely misses his target.

Fears/Incompetencies: James is afraid of heights and he is sometimes too overconfident in himself and his skills.

Equipment: An OD green backpack with a couple of spare clothes, 3 Snickers bars, a pack of toast, 2 cans of sardines, 2 cans of baked beans, a can opener, a spoon and a fork, a flashlight with 6 spare batteries and a blank notebook with 2 pens.

Weapons

- Cold Steel Kukri knife;

- Beretta 92FS .9x19mm including all of his uncle's extra mags(seen in pic.);

- Mossberg 500 Tactical 8-shot .12 gauge shotgun with 5 round shell holder and his uncle's entire shell loadout consisting of a 55 round bandolier and two 25 round mag pouches.

Group: Alone for the moment

Background: James is a former convict. At the age of 24 he was arrested and convicted for assault and battery after he attacked his mother's former husband, who kept stalking her even after the divorce. After he found out, James went to him, threatened him to leave her alone and after he refused James proceeded to beating him up real good both with his bare hands and with an aluminum baseball bat. He spent 2 years in prison for this. After his release James's life became full of hardship. Because of his status as an ex-convict, nobody really trusted him anymore and he had an almost impossible time finding a job. And to top it all off his mother died of bone cancer some time after his release. Eventually his uncle saved him and proposed him to come to San Diego, and work with him there at his newly opened car shop. James decided that he needs a change of space and a fresh start in a place where nobody knew him or his past so he accepted his uncle's offer. It's not like he had any other choice anyway. It was a small business, just him and his uncle, but it helped him get back on track and try to live a relatively normal life.

Other:
- James has a 2 year old border collie female which he named Bella;

Bella

- Owns and drives a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454.

@Belle Best wishes for your mother Belle!

Looks like things are really heating up between Chris and Nikki. Something tells me they're gonna have one hell of a clash at the high school. :)

Zombie Apocalypse, anyone?

I'm already in zombie mode since i'm part of two Walking Dead RP's, one of which is a 1x1. But they're both going on pretty slow right now so I think i'll jump in another RP. Meaning this one.

PSST! Nikki! I get the distinct impression that Chris is still pissed at you!

@Belle

Don't worry, He'll let go of it. As soon as he tells her everything he has on his chest. :)

James

Extremely concerned about Darryl, Chris was starting to fall apart. As Lyla went back in the office, James could hear her shout at the two men who were screaming their asses off. As he rised up on his feet he heard her climb the stairs up to the apartment. He started checking up the car and after seeing everything is okay he went into the office and grabbed his shotgun from the desk, taking one more look at the men. "You boys are gonna stay here!" He said opening the door and getting out of the shop as the guy on the chair nodded his head in dissaproval. "You're making a big mistake! Darryl is not gonna forgive this." Said the guy on the floor.

After he put the shotgun on the back seat he saw Lyla coming back down with all their stuff. Together they put everything they needed to fix Lyla's car back in the trunk together with gas and oil. Then they both got into the car as James started it and rocketed out of the shop and out of the town. "I hope Darryl won't come after us. He's a very vengeful individual." Said James as he looked back for a few seconds looking at the town dissapearing in the distance.

Meanwhile, back at the shop...

A black Ford F-150 truck stops outside of the car shop with five armed black men including the driver. Darryl gets out from the passemger seat as everybody headed to the entrance. "All of you wait for me here." He said as the rest followed his order. Once inside Darryl pulled out a SIG P226 and started walking cautiously forward. Then he saw his men all tied up with duct tape in the manager's office and ran to them.

"Boss, oh boss i'm so glad it's you." Said the guy on the floor.

"What are you two doing tied up like that? Who did this?" Asked Darryl upset.

"It was James! James Harris. He also had a woman with him. They went out of the city." Said the one on the chair.

In that instant, Darryl's face turned from anger to shock then happiness. "So, the pretty white boy survived ey? Well, I guess God does love me afterall dosen't he?" He said while looking at his men. Then he headed out of the car shop and started barking orders at his men. "You! Untie those two fools and get back to the precinct. The rest of you, come with me!" He said as they all got in the car an d the driver started the car, driving forward. "Come on, step on it. We can still catch him." Said Darryl slamming his right hand on the dashboard.

In the meantime...

James and Lyla arrived at the wreckage of Lyla's car as James stopped the car and got out of it together with Lyla. "Okay, let's start working on your car. But don't expect it to end anytime soon. It's probably gonna take about one or two days. I guess we'll have to sleep in my car." Said James as he headed to Lyla's car and rised up the hood, examining the engine.

After Chris and Leanne got back in the rec center all hell broke loose as everyone started packing their stuff to leave. Nikki started barking orders at everyone and the person that was really supposed to do that was only physically present. As he watched Leanne talk to Nikki about Kat and the baby Chris was thinking to himself as he looked at Ethan. Some leader you are! I guess she's wearing the pants in the family isn't she? Chris snapped out of it after Leanne grabbed him and took him to her room. He didn't say anything to Nikki as it wasn't the right time, with everyone being busy packing up.

After helping her with her stuff they both got out of the room and Chris suddenly remembered Lisa and told Leanne. "Go at the exit and wait for me there. I gotta go find my sister before we leave!" Said Chris as he went off, heading to the main room.

What used to be a calm place now turned into an all out chaos. But he didn't care about any of that. All he wanted was to find his sister and get out of here. As he was heading to the main room he started hearing his sister's familiar cries calling his name. After reaching the main room in the midst of all the the people running in various directions he could see his sister standing somewhere in the middle, shouting for him. Then all of a sudden some guy bumps into her, knocking her down. Chris starts running to her, pushing everyone out of his way.

"Hey, are you alright?" Said Chris grabbing his sister by the hands and lifting her up. "Come on, we gotta leave. That horde is close to the city." He said as he took his backpack from his sister's hands and put it on his back as she remained with the duffle bag only.

After that Chris and Lisa both ran to the exit, where they reunited with Leanne who was waiting there for them. It didn't take long for Nikki to appear as well, telling Leanne something, patting her on her back and then knocking the door open. Chris pulled out his revolver and turned around to Leanne.

"I'm gonna help the others clear a path to the vehicles. You see that black Impala over there? That's my car. Take my sister, go to it and and wait for me inside." Said Chris as he turned around, cocked his revolver and shot a walker in the head.

There were too many walkers outside so silence didn't matter anymore. He then put the revoler in the holster as he pulled out his KA-BAR knife, grabbed a walker that was heading to him by it's neck and stabbed it in the left side of the head with it. He then gave a right side kick to a walker that was trying to grab him from behind, pulled out his revolver again and shot it in the head. He was now very close to Nikki who was fighting off walkers as well. He shot one of the walkers that was right in front of her. Nikki turned around shocked because the bullet came millimeters close to her head.

"After we reach the high school you and I need to talk. You can't avoid me forever." Said Chris with an upset tone as he turned around and headed to his car, putting his KA-BAR back in it's sheath and the revolver back in the holster.

James

James took advantage of the distraction that Lyla offered as he slowly reached out for his 1911 and after gripping it he quickly pulled it out and pressed it against the other guy's head before he had time to react. "Alright now! I wasn't planning for this but what the hell. Take out your weapons and put them on the ground. And don't try anything funny if you value your life." Said James all serious as the guy took out a tomahawk axe and a .9mm Beretta and put them on the ground, kicking them away. "Good boy!" Said James grabbing his gun by the slide and slamming it on the guy's head, making him fall on the ground dizzy and unable to fight back. Then James closed the car shop's doors and dragged the guy to the manager's office then proceeded to do the same thing to his buddy that got knocked out by Lyla.

In the office he took a small table and put it in the center, and then took two chairs placing them on opposite sides of the table. On one of them he put the guy he took out, tying him up with duct tape. While the other chair was for himself to sit in. He did the same thing to the other guy too, tying him up good with duct tape but leaving him on the floor. In the meantime the guy tied up on the chair woke up and started shaking himself up violently, hoping to free himself. "Calm down. You won't escape. I tied you up good." Said James taking a seat across the table and looking deep in the guy's eyes as Lyla assisted at the conversation between the two.

"Listen, you're insane. Once the boss finds out that were missing you're both as good as dead. Leave now while you still have the chance." He said stressed.

"What boss? Who are you talking about? Wait a second...I remember you. You're Frankie right?"

"I don't know what...James? James Donovan? Shit man I didn't even recognize you. You look more mature now with that beard and the long hair."

"Yeah, that's me! Now...what boss are you talking about?"

"Whatya mean what boss!? You know very well who i'm talking about. Darryl? Darryl Jones? Forgot all about him?"

James's face imidieatly turned pale, like he seen a ghost. Concerned he put his left hand over his mouth for a few seconds then lowered it down on the table.

"What happened at the prison when the outbreak started?" Asked James clearly troubled.

"Well, the guards decided to set us free and ran away. It didn't matter to them anyway, now that humans began transforming into these monsters. Most of the inmates decided to stay within the safety of the prison. But Darryl and those of us that follow him decided to leave. A week and a half ago he decided to stop here and turn this small town into our staging point. Now we've cleared the streets of walkers but there are still plenty of them in the buildings. Listen you need to leave okay? Visitors aren't greeted welcomly here. Last week some guy came saying that he's looking for food but Darryl slashed his throat and fed him to some walkers in a building while he was still breathing."

"I got one more question for you. Zack. Zack Henderson. What happened to him?"

"I don't know no Zack Henderson!"

"You know very well who i'm talking about. My former cellmate."

"Oh you mean the MMA guy? Well, he left the prison just like us. But we went our separate ways."

With that James rised up from the chair, taking Lyla and getting out of the office and back into the car shop. "Hey, hey, don't leave me here! Cut me loose! NOW!" Frankie's shouts could be heard from inside the office. James didn't even dare to look in Lyla's eyes as she was very puzzled and didn't understood anything. This was all his fault as it was his idea to bring them here. "We are in the proverbial "deep shit." These guys are inmates from the prison I was in and this Darryl Jones character that guy spoke of used to be a major drug dealer back in Detroit. But the police managed to bust him years ago. Once in prison he formed his own gang, convincing all of the black prisoners to join him. He's very dangerous and not to be messed with. When I was arrested I was sent to the same prison as these guys that's why I know them. But I survived them unlike other "pretty white boys" that became regulars at the prison's clinic. And all thanks to Zack. Nobody dared to mess with him because of his fighting skills. I'm glad to hear he's still alive somewhere, out there " Said James as he put his hands on his head and started walking around through the shop. In the meantime the guy that Lyla knocked out finally woke up and started shouting to be released too.

"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! I never should have brought us here!" He said continuing to walk around the shop with his hands on his head. Then he sat on the floor with his legs crossed.

A mixture of shock and amusement was on Chris's face after he heard the proposition that Leanne made him and then she so quickly changed her mind. But at the same time he felt sad for her. All she wanted was to be treated like a normal person but instead she had guys drooling over her like she was a piece of meat and not a person with feelings like everyone else. And to top it all off there was this outbreak totally preventing her from having any kind of normal life whatsoever.

After she pointed out at the walker horde, Chris rose up from his seat and went to her as he looked in the distance. "Yes, those are the freaks that we faced before we got here. It looks like they're heading this way. They should be reaching us in a few hours I wager!" Said Chris with slight concern on his voice and face. "Listen, about what you said earlier...!" He said as he grabbed Leanne by her shoulders and slowly turned her around.

"I can't be your boyfriend, not even a fake one. I couldn't act properly and make it believeable! I just went through a dissapointment today and it will take me some time before I open up to someone else again." He said as he made a few steps back and crossed his arms, taking one more look in the distance at the horde. Then he pulled out his balisong, flipped it open and started running his thumb then his index finger on the blade.

"On the other hand...I guess I could be your bodyguard and protect you. Both from the drooling freaks out there but from walkers as well. I don't need you to pay me in anything." Said Chris as he went to the terrace they just sat on, cut a flower with the balisong, closed it, put it back in a pocket of his jeans and then headed back to Leanne, giving her the flower as he put his hands in the pockets of his leather jacket.
