WIP Name: Aurora Grace Solus
*Nickname(s): Her close friends may call her "Aura" or "Rory." Age: 16
Sex: Female
*Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance: Aurora is a little taller than the average sixteen-year-old girl, standing at 5'7 but having no more room to grow. She weighs around 120lbs, on the skinnier side for her rather tall height. In fact, this female is quite emaciated, with her hip bone jutting out and though her ribs are not visible, you could feel them with ease. Aurora has pretty average-sized feet, and the same goes for her hands, which are bloodied and bruised. She's also got a birthmark on the upper side of her left cheek, which is a big, black dot which almost looks like a mole, but not quite as disgusting. This is the only birthmark that Aurora has, as none others are visible. Aurora has light, pale white skin, therefore she is prone to getting sunburnt. She doesn't mind this, though, as she usually does not go out in blazing hot weather, anyways. This girl also has long hair that goes down to her lower back, and it is so long that it often gets caught on things and is considered somewhat of a liability to Aurora due to the fact that one could easily grab it or she could get stuck on something from it. This hair of Aurora's is a beautiful, light, dirty blonde color and is quite well taken-care of and brushed regularly. Her hair perfectly complements her piercing sky-blue eyes that were once filled with cheerfulness, but now that the zombies have started to advance, Aurora's eyes seem to have become a dull grey void or abyss, lacking of any emotion or hope for the future. All that remains in them is despair and the will to survive. Aurora's face doesn't well resemble that of a sixteen-year-old girl's. Rather, her cheekbones have almost sharp edges and seem to jut out of her face, and her skin is rough and dirtied. Aurora has rather mild acne, there being only a slight bit around her forehead and temple. Her lips are a light-ish pink color and if one got a closer look at them, they are chapped and dry to the point that sometimes they'll start to bleed. The edges of Aurora's mouth also happen to be red, and her tongue is rather long and scraped up because she bites it a lot. Aurora's chin is close to being sharp, but isn't really, much like her cheekbones. As well as being faint, Aurora's eyebrows are the same color as her hair; dirty blonde. Lastly, her nose is small and is what some would consider a "pixie nose," seeming to only take up the tiniest section of Aurora's face. This tall female's height is mostly made up by her long, slender legs. Oddly enough, her legs are boney and not very refined around any area but her thighs. It is a wonder that Aurora is even able to support her own body weight on her legs, much less run with them. However, Aurora's legs are much stronger than they look, and she can damn well run like the wind with them. Though, the same cannot be said about her weak, skinny arms which hold little muscle on them. Aurora relies on her weapons, battle experience, and extensive knowledge to get by while fighting, as brute strength is not one of her strongsuits. She just doesn't have the muscle in her arms, though she can slash a knife and handle a gun very well. Aurora's lengthy arms and slender fingers allow her to have quite good reach, which makes a knife the perfect weapon for her. That paired with her speed and agility makes Aurora a formidable foe to go up against, even for a zombie. However, lucky for them, Aurora's stamina is something that is much less than worthy of praise. She can't hold her own for very long, as she'll grow exhausted and ultimately end up defeated if she tries to do so. Aurora has many scars from her time fighting, many smaller ones being along her arms though the worst goes down her face and is dangerously close to her right eye. It is a miracle that her eyesight hasn't been damaged. p.s, I copied and pasted this from another RP since I'm using the same character, tell me if there's any mistakes in there! Attire: Usually, Aurora wears a lighter-blue shirt and jeans. Her shirt used to have long sleeves, but over time the sleeves have ripped so badly that they're now shorter. Her jeans, on the other hand, are a darker black-ish color, though nobody can tell because of the amount of filth, mud, and blood that usually covers them. They're covered with rips and tears, though not quite as badly as Aurora's poor shirt. Amazingly, the back pockets have not ripped yet, though some of the thread around that area is starting to come loose. Aurora's jacket is light, built for rather mild weather. It's black in color and Aurora usually wears it over her shirt to cover up how ruined it is. Her jacket is newer and nicer, though, and she likes the pitch black color of it as well. The inside of it is also lined with a velvety, black, fur-like material that makes this jacket quite comfortable to wear. It matches well with Aurora's also pure, midnight-black sneakers, though nobody can tell the color of them due to the fact that they are constantly dirty. However, they allow Aurora to maneuver just fine, so she's okay with the fact that they're filth-infested.
*Accessories: She carries around a lightweight black backpack, but it isn't really an accessory, more of something to carry her stuff around in. Personality: (describe how your character acts around people, by themselves, etc)
Strengths: -Speed. She can run like the wind. Aurora's light, skinny build and slender legs allow her to run quite fast, which is a massive advantage considering that she has a gun and is easily able to dodge attacks that're thrown at her while also throwing them out quite quickly. -Agility / Flexibility. Again, Aurora has a very light & skinny build which easily allows her to dodge attacks and makes it so that she can move quickly and easily. -Knowledge. Aurora has a lot of knowledge on the outside world, and thus she knows how it works. The extent of what she knows ranges from where major cities are located, what loot lies in them, and more. She has a lot of experience fighting the delinqents that everybody calls "zombies" as well, which only makes her more aware of how the world functions. Weaknesses: -Brute Strength. Aurora is skinny and doesn't have much muscle, thus making it difficult for her to do many tasks. If she was, say, pinned down by a zombie or another person, she could not force them off or out of her way without the utmost of difficulty. -Stamina / Endurance. Aurora isn't one for endurance, which means that if she is running or fighting, she'll get worn out in almost no time. If she's fighting more than one opponent, she relies on her speed, agility, and battle experience rather than her stamina. This also applies to her both mentally and emotionally. Put her under too much pressure and both her mental and emotional state will deteriorate rapidly. -She's hard to talk to and doesn't like to follow orders issued to her. Unless they're of the utmost importance, orders from the Leader that're directed towards Aurora mean nothing. She likes to do what she wants whether others like it or not, and she likes to do it alone. She's so independant that it'll probably kill her some day. *Likes: (a few things your character likes)
*Dislikes: (a few things your character dislikes)
*Reputation: She's often thought of as a quiet person with lethal words that sting more than hand sanitizer in an open wound. Aurora is a skilled fighter with tons of knowledge as well, which makes her seen as a valuble member to the group and one that's not to be messed with.

Name: Kieran Sang Larter
Nickname(s): Song (pronounciation of her middle name/ nickname)
Age: 23 (August 21)
Sex: Female
Sexuality: Hetero
Appearance: Being half Korean (mom’s side) and half caucasian (dad’s side), this young woman has the striking mix of pale skin and warm, dark brown hair like many Koreans, but a sharper shape to her face and features due to her dad. A faint dusting of freckles covers her nose and the top of her cheeks. She has a straight nose with a slight curve upwards at the end, though hardly noticeable. Her cheeks aren’t too high, but moderate, and her jaw has a soft square shape to it. Her chin is round with a slight square to it. Her eyes are almond-shaped, being on the thinner side, and they’re usually lowered in a thoughtful, determined, or angry stare. Her eyebrows are slightly arched with a downward slope towards her eyes. Her full lips are a pale pink with a slight, but not too pronounced, cupid’s bow. Her figure is tall and slim, being an rectangle shape with an ectomorph body type. She stands at 5’10”, rather tall for a woman. This gives her a lithe appearance. Her gait, smooth and graceful, almost a stalking motion, making her seem somewhat predatory. Her resting bitch face doesn’t help this appearance in the slightest. Her legs make up a lot of her height, being a bit more than half of her body length. She has a smaller bust, making athletics easier for her. Her hips aren’t too wide, either. She is dusted with small nicks here and there from small incidents (climbing trees, tripping, playing with knives… etc.) However, there is a 3 inch scar, very faded rosy pink, on her left cheek. It’s in the shape of a line, and it’s from a run-in with a fish hook on one of many failed attempts by her father to get her into fishing. Attire: Song is usually found in a dark, plain, comfortably loose t-shirt, a size or two too large for her. She typically has this loosely tucked in to a pair of blue jeans, or whatever pants she finds lying around. Her shoes are always comfortable, no fashion sense in them at all, just the most comfortable athletic shoes she finds, but they are quite often plain and match every outfit, therefore matching what she wears. Her hair she keeps up in a sloppy bun, typically with strands falling out of it, which she often doesn't bother to tuck back in.
Accessories: Song has one plain oak rink on her right ring finger. It's polished, and has the slightest impression of a hibiscus flower in the center. Whoever gave this to her is not someone she likes to think or talk about.
Personality: Intelligent - intimidating - defensive - protective - natural-born leader - teasing - playful - (unwittingly) flirtatious - This woman is intelligent, this is something few can deny. While she is quiet often, which results in the occassional assumtion that she is confused and keeps to herself for fear of saying something dumb, it's completely wrong. She is merely quiet due to her observance and thoughtfulness. If anybody were to challenge her on this, she would typically let it lie and shrug it off, but she'd make a point of proving them wrong daily from then on. Especially if this involves making the individual in question look dumb. Intimidating. That's how those who don't know her would describe her in one word. To be fair, she is tall, she is quiet (when she does speak, she had a deep voice), she's got a resting bitch face, and a somewhat intense aura. However, she just acts this way as a protective mechanism. If people are intimidated or simply put-off by her attitude, they can't approach her in order to hurt her emotionally or threaten her physically. It's a win-win. While this woman can be defensive, as part of protective mechanism, this shell drops as soon as she realizes you don't want to be a threat or you don't have the capacity to be one. So, if you align yourself with her or are just plain dumb, then she'll be on of the biggest mocking, teasing, and playful individuals you'll meet. Yes, she's protective. She has to be. She's good at fighting, and she cares too much about people, so she has every right to be protective of her loved ones. This does, however, mean that getting on the wrong side of her or someone she cares for could result in losing a digit or two. Song is a natural-born leader. This is probably obvious due to the fact that she's managed to become second-in-command. However, even being around her will make it evident. She has a commanding air, even when she's being playful. She tries not to be rude or unnecessarily mean, but she will be very firm and might bully those who aren't behaving a little bit. To elaborate further on what was stated earlier, she is very playful and teasing. She was raised in a family where playful roasts are a sign of affection rather than bullying, and she doesn't attempt to filter it now that it's been trained into her. So, if you're a sensitive soul that doesn't understand a joke, a relationship with her won't work out. Lastly, this poor woman is unwittingly flirtatious sometimes. She doesn't mean it most the time, she really doesn't. She doesn't consider herself especially attractive, but she's had guys ask her out after she's been subconsciously flirting and had to apologize about a million times in such instances. So... she might flirt with you without meaning it, but this could also be a subconscious portrayal or her feelings for you, who knows?
Strengths: - Extremely talented with knives, but rather well-rounded in all fighting styles. - Athletic and graceful. In case you haven't picked up on this already, she is quite athletic and uses it to her advantage often - She has a silver tongue. How she wound up with this ability and how she uses it, she doesn't know. She just does.
Weakness: - she's confused by love (even though she feels it, she has a hard time understanding or verbally expressing it, especially romantic love) - Determination: While usually a strength, sometimes she gets ahead of herself and bites off more than she can chew. - Physical Strength: That lanky and agile build does come at a bit of a cost, and she's always had trouble building up muscle mass. Likes: - Her brother - being respected - when people listen to what she has to say - Being in a leadership role
Dislikes: - When she’s ignored - when someone tries to hurt her family (chosen or blood) - being overcrowded - when her skills are taken for granted - being patronized - the overuse of sarcasm - idiots - haughty people
Reputation: She is often seen, understandably, as indimidating, overly defensive, and somewhat violent. To credit those who think of her this way, she acts this way around anyone until they've earned her trust, respect, or she just knows they can't/won't really do anything against her (on purpose).
Weapons: - Machete: Her father got this for her as a gift when she graduated her knife handling class when she was 16 - Pocket Knife: Only about 3 inches long, her dad gave this to her when he realized, at the age of 9, that she had a strange addiction to sharp and shiny things. - Wooden spear: About 4 feet long, this is mostly for hitting things, not really for stabbing. She sharpened it with her tiny little pocket knife as soon as this whole zombie apocalypse started, and keeps it on hand just because you never know what could happen.
Rank: Second-in-Command: While she'd appreciate being the leader, she isn't about to start any group rivalry over such a trivial matter. Plus, she loves respects Grayson.
Affiliations: Grayson - The leader of the group, whom Song loves respects very much. She wouldn't dream of challenging his power, though the top spot is always in the back of her mind (involuntarily). She is fighting some feelings for him, but (she's pretty sure) she's not showing it in the slightest. She still feels, for some reason, that it's wrong to move on past her fiance.
Significant Other: Nope. Offspring: While she was engaged when this whole thing took place to a very charming and intelligent man, they had not borne children, though they planned on it. Kin: Fiance: Adam Schmidt, the love of her life that she lost to the creatures. She is working on moving past it still. - Dead Father: Deceased, he meant much to her - Dead Mother: Died giving birth to her youngest brother, Sam - Dead Sam: Youngest brother, they've survived together - Alive Jimmy (Jay): younger brother, they've survived together - Alive Voice: Her voice is a bit on the deeper side, yet again adding to her intimidating appearance. However, it is smooth and usually carries a sweet tone.
Handwriting: Having taken calligraphy classes most her life, she has delicate, loopy letters that look like they belong in the 1700s Theme Song(s): I Shot Cupid - Stela Cole (remix by CloudKid) History: She grew up with a mother and father until she was 6, when her mother died giving birth to her youngest brother, Sam. However, it was only her father that really felt the pain, seeing as she and Jimmy were too young to truly understand it. Her father recovered after a few months and turned into the best single dad you could ask for. Though he worked two jobs, he always made time for camping, fishing, and physical fighting lessons. He somehow scraped up the money to pay for any classes, toys, or items his children wanted. They all grew up feeling very loved, but Song lost her father and fiance all in a few months.
Other: I can't think of anything :) Edited at November 16, 2021 11:44 PM by Meian

Name: Jimmy Lee Larter
Nickname(s): Jay
Age: 20 (31 October)
Sex: Male
Sexuality: Hetero (doesn't act like it sometimes...)
Appearance: He sports dark brown, almost black, hair. He wears this dark hair short on the sides, but longer on top. The top is messily styled, if ever styled, as he mostly just runs his fingers through it roughly in the morning. His eyes are a silvery brown, with a cold and somewhat hostile tone to them. However, if one were to take a close look at his eyes, the brown is more dark chocolate than charcoal, and there are warmer tones directly around the pupil that aren't noticeable from a distance. His skin tone is a cool sandy tone. He has defined facial features. He's got high cheekbones, not softened by much of a layer of fat. He sports a straight, though slightly hooked nose. His bottom lip is slightly fuller than his top lip, though both lips are on the thinner side. His eyes are a bit upturned at the edges, hinting towards asian decent. If one were to consider his race, they probably would settle on some sort of a mix between Asian and German. He has a somewhat muscular build, and stands at about 6'0," tall like the rest of his family. His weight is about 193 pounds, as he is muscular but lean. His body type is obviously mesomorph, as he is lean, but decently muscled around his shoulders, chest, and legs as well as having about 10% body fat. A tattoo of a black and red serpent-like dragon stretches itself directly along his spine with it's horned head and hissing tongue appearing just above his shirt collar. He wears a spearmint cologne, but not so strong that it's easily detected.
Attire: Dark denim pants, whether they be black, blue, gray, etc. He usually throws on whatever shirt he finds, but he does have a preference for long sleeved button-ups, and he'll roll up the sleeves halfway up his bicep just because he's gotta show off the "guns." He's got two shirts of this style right now. As for footwear, he tends to put on whatever shoes, as in whatever he finds (besides sandals/ high heels, he draws the line there). However, he has a preferance for boots that offer ankle support. His hear is always a mess, though it's only about 2 inches long, so it looks like he purposefully threw it into artistic tangles. He treats his comb almost like ammo, as if it has limited uses. It's just a habit, really, not a conscious choice. When he can get his hands on some gel, he might apply it lightly.
Accessories: He's got a cross necklace, simple and silver on a light silver chain. He usually tucks it beneath his shirt so that it's not visible, but it makes an appearance every once in a while. His dad was a Catholic Christian, and Jay's remained faithful.
Personality: Teasing - Haunted - Joker - Emotional - Animal Lover - Complicated - Compassionate His personality is very complicated. Almost to the point that he doesn't understand it. Scratch that, it is to the point that he doesn't understand it. He's got a dark and a light side, similar to everybody else. However, he doesn't know where to being in understanding it or controlling it, though he does a rather decent job. If you ever see his emotional side, it can go two ways. 1) He'll try to become very close to you and show you how much you mean to him or 2) he'll push you away and put up about another 20 walls between you and him. He is often sarcastic. However, sometimes his sarcasm is taken seriously, and then he'll probably get offended that you really think he would mean what he said, either depicted as teasing you mercilessly or getting really angry at you. In addition, Jay enjoys sarcasm from others on occcassion, but he, admittedly, gets annoyed if it's overused. Then again, who doesn't? He can be reluctant to get to know people on a deeper level, but he is warm and friendly to everybody he comes into contact with. He could be called an ambivert, seeing as he has internalized introverted tendencies, but is outwardly friendly and sociable. Well, he's also has trust issues, though few know about this. He has a way of making people feel like they know everything about him, and that he's rather emotionally shallow. However, he is simply walling off his emotions, and using humor as a coping mechanism like so many do. This can, quite often, lead to him struggling with how he feels, seeing as he has few people who want to hear him venting about his issues. He considers himself a rock, especially through hard times. Who wants to hear their rock crumbling? He is always there for his friends, no matter what. He will always be a shoulder to cry on, even when he feels like he needs a shoulder to cry on. He can be flirtatious, and is actually kind of cocky about his ability to woo most of the female species, and a few of the males. He will, unashamed, flirt with either gender, though there's only a chance he's genuinely interested in a woman. He is also a "homiesexual," as many describe him. He owns up to it, and likes to joke that he only simps for the boys. All in all, he's pretty out of touch with his own feelings, often focusing on others, and anybody who gets close to him is at risk of suffering for his inability to understand himself. Though, luckily, few seem to be intrigued by him.
Strengths: - Survival. Well, with a dad like his, survival is like second nature. They constantly went camping, hunting, fishing, etc. He even attended several camps. - Fighting. Anybody picking a fight with this guy better have a death wish or be seriously skilled, because his dad was sure to teach him that as well. - Silver tongue. Like his sister, this skill came naturally to him. However, he doesn't fight it and uses it regularly, whether lightly flirting or making a life or death deal with some drug lord.
Weakness: - Flirting. Please don't flirt with him if you don't mean it, you'll get yourself in deep pretty quick. He falls hard and fast, though he's a player. He is often in love with several women at once, but also has fun flirting with guys. If you flirt once or twice, he's wrapped around your finger like a dog. - Intelligence. Um, well... maybe there isn't much there, but it's okay. His personality makes up for it :) - Claustraphobia. Put him in a small, dark space, and get very, very far away because he will lash out at anyone and everything, and then maybe have a heart attack when he's done.
Likes: - Animals - A pretty face - Exploring - Warm weather (surprising considering his choice of shirt) - Sleep (who doesn't?)
Dislikes: - Dark, cramped spaces - Having his feelings played with (happens too often) - Letting people in (also happens too often) - googlies (googly: his term for the zombies) - His sister (just kidding, he loves her... maybe.)
Reputation: Many see him as cunning and aloof when watching from a distance. However, if they approach him they will immediately find out he's a decent guy. Often confused by his emotions, often makes dark and inappropriate jokes, but a decent guy. Once you know him, many see him as a bit cocky (which he might be), but a good guy to have on their side.
Weapons: - Semi-automatic rifle, about 3.5 feet in length. He managed to snatch it from the garage while fleeing the advancing group of googlies (monsters) - Revolver. Not the best when he's taking repeated shots at an advancing googly, but it's the weapon he always carried on him before the whole zombie invasion thing, so he had it with him. - Pocket Knife. Only about 2 inches, this is hardly a weapon, more for starting a fire and opening up a stuborn can. However, it can be used in a sticky situation
Rank: Hunter: He's content! He could hardly ask for anything better.
Affiliations: Grayson: Mad respect for this leader, Jay would hardly raise his voice against Grayson, though he has noticed that Song has started acting a bit cold and, perhaps, even angry when Grayson's around. Song: Also known as Kieran, this is his older sister :) Billie: Also called Billie Goat by yours truly, this little teenager is like the little sister he never had. Mess with her, and you're asking him to step in. Mess with him, and he's pretty sure she'll have his back, as well.
Significant Other: Nope; Open
Offspring: Heck to the no! Ladies, he has no financial burdens attached ;)
Voice: His voice is on the deeper end of the scale, but rather smooth, and often with a mocking/ teasing tone to it.
Handwriting: Jay has small, scrawled writing. His letters are somewhat slanted, and pretty much fit the exact description of a "handwriting" font.
Theme Song(s): I saw a Ghost - Updog (Remix by CloudKid)
*History: He hardly grew up with a mother and father, seeing as he was 2 when his mother died giving birth to his younger brother, Sam. However, it was only his father that really felt the pain, seeing as he and Song were too young to truly understand it. His father recovered after a few months and turned into the best single dad you could ask for. Though he worked two jobs, he always made time for camping, fishing, and fighting/ shooting lessons. He somehow scraped up the money to pay for any classes, toys, or items his children wanted. They all grew up feeling very loved, but Jay lost his father, best friend (Song's fiance), and Sam all in a few months. Other: Can't think of anything :) Edited at November 24, 2021 07:15 PM by Meian

This is my observer! (I think there is still an observer thing left, but if not I can change it-) Name: Louis Lee Jackson Nickname(s): None yet, but he loves any he is given! Age: 22 Sex: Trans-Male (He/Him) Sexuality: Homosexual (Thinks he is straight. This fool.) Appearance: Louis is relatively short at only five foot six which makes it harder to get the edge in any fight, but he makes up for it in his upper body strength and agility. Old pale scars cover him and a barcode-like tattoo can be seen on his wrist, laying over his light woody-color skin. Louis is biracial so the woody color is not just from dirt and soot. His skin is rough to the touch and most often covered in scratches, bruises, and blood. Most of the time, it is not his own blood. He has a mixture of a blocky rectangular body shape and that of a bean pole. Louis is what most would think is a stick from a distance, but up close, you find he is decently muscular from having to do so many activities to simply stay alive. Unfortunately for him, he finds his hips to be bulky and he hates how thin his shoulders are. He struggles with his more feminine appearance a lot of the time and frequently gets frustrated when he can’t look the way he wants too. To cope with this, Louis managed to get some of the surgery he thought was ‘required’ for being more masculine as well as taking certain hormone pills to help make his voice slightly deeper and for other reasons. He still doesn’t have an entirely flat chest so he uses bandages to compress it. He knows it isn’t good for him, but it is hard to get enough money to get the proper surgery or a proper binder at the very least especially in the middle of the apocalypse. Louis has messy dark brown hair that is tangled and knotted with edges that were clearly cut with a knife in a hurry or sloppily at the very least. It looks like it needs to be washed because of how mud and clay have hardened on the tips of his hair and leaves can often be found in it. His face seems a bit rounded and his chin has small cuts from shaving with a knife, but at least he is clean shaved and barely has any hair growing on his face. He tried once to grow it out for a few months into a bit of a stubble, but it just ended up inching far too much for Louis’ liking. He has narrow brown eyes that are light and almost a honey color in the sunlight, the same color as the tips of his hair. He says the honey color in his hair is natural, but it was probably dyed. Heavy bags hang under his eyes and he has one scar that is really noticeable on his jaw that traces down to the side of his neck. He rarely smiles, but when he does, he shows off his chipped tooth and dimples that just make him seem like a completely different person from the one with his lips pressed tightly together and a scowl strapped to his face. Louis’ stature and posture aren’t the best. His shoulders slump and he always seems to be moving, never at rest unless he really needs to rest. His fingers drum on tables and his head is on a swivel so everyone immediately thinks he is overly paranoid. Which he is. I never said he wasn’t. When he is walking, he rarely focuses on what’s ahead of him and often bumps into things. He is light on his feet and walks quickly with his fists balled up or holding a weapon of sorts. When he carries his bat in his hands, the bat either rests loosely by his side or tightly being held in front of his chest, ready to hit something. It is probably not a good thing to startle him in general because his first instinct is to hit anything that moves towards him with his bat in hand. Attire: Louis wears mostly plain clothes to blend in with the more grey and dull greens he is used to staying in. With a dark green, short-sleeve shirt, light brown pants, and a grey scarf that acts as a neck warmer and mask are some of the articles of clothing he wears. He wears a bulky coat over his muddy and torn shirt. The coat is long and drapes down to just above his knees which makes it double as a blanket on the extra cold nights. The pockets on his jacket are generally empty, but they do a great job at keeping his hands warm. He keeps a grey raincoat around his waist for when things get cold and for keeping himself warm as well as a pair of goggles on his face for if it is raining and he needs to be able to see better. Accessories: Louis doesn’t really have a lot of ‘accessories.’ The closest things he carries to an accessory are his dog tags and his large duffel bag. His two dog tags are bent and seem to be rusting and the name is barely clear. Both of the dog tags’ first name and gender written in the metal is not Louis’s, but the last name is his. Meanwhile, the duffle bag on his shoulder is heavy and filled with books, maps, matches, food, and bottled water. The duffle bag itself is a deep maroon color with dark green patterns. Small patches as sewn into it and the edge of it seem to have been burned slightly. In his duffle bag, the most important item is his journal wear he keeps his notes. The cover is a red leather with a bright red ribbon to keep his place in his journal. It’s probably the nicest thing he owns despite the pages being damaged from water and use. Personality: Louis is a big nervous reck, but don’t let that cloud your judgement of the rest of him. He is full of sass, bad jokes, and over all just a ball of passive-aggressiveness towards most people he meets right off the bat (get it? Because he carries a bat and… oh nevermind.) He often makes harsh comments on people, always looking for something that might make that person suspicious or have other intentions to talk to him other than business and survival. Major trust issues are a major problem with him. He is really reluctant to trust people especially when he finds almost anything they do as an act of hostility or mal intentions towards him. When anyone thinks they can boss him around, Louis is quick to prove them wrong, throwing sass and hissing retorts to almost anything they say just to annoy and frustrate them. Once he does find someone he actually likes, he likes them hard. He will be absolutely mortified if they betray him, but Louis will follow said person to the end of the Earth if they tell him to. Sure, it will take time for Louis to feel comfortable enough around someone to trust them to that extent, but he is the most loyal person ever once he likes someone. He will try to open up to people he likes, but he mostly keeps his emotions to himself. Louis suffers from PTSD, dysphoria, and severe anxiety, but he tries to keep it under wraps and not let others know about it because he doesn’t want to put his emotional and mental problems onto anyone else. When he isn’t being such a stubborn turd about his emotions though, he loves to tell awful jokes to make himself and others feel better. He rambles to himself and can never stay quiet when it comes to talking about some places he has explored or books he read whenever he made time to read them. He’ll often try to get others interested in his interests once anyone gets him talking about him. Hell, he will smile more than ever when he is in this positive mindset of telling jokes and talking about the places he has been to. Louis is also extremely clingy to people, always wanting to at least be with someone for fear of being left alone. If he knows someone will try to leave him, he will do everything in his power to make or convince them to stay. He’ll ask to go with them, beg them to stay, or even try to block off said person’s way to leave if he thinks the situation is truly bad. Then again, Louis’ kind of a ‘bad situation’ can sometimes be different than what others think. Often spewing crazy conspiracies or things that seem far fetched, it isn’t hard to see why he thinks somethings are worse than what they actually are. But can you even blame him for any of this? He worried enough as is before the creatures and they just made everything worse. Louis may dabble in the conspiracy theory end of things especially concerning any form of authority except for the Leader of his group. Surprisingly enough a lot of these strange theories have been true. He always gets extremely distressed and distraught when this happens, especially when it is one of his crazier theories. The best thing to do in these situations is not to tease how he is smart or how he guessed right. Instead, just have someone he trusts tell them it’s just a coincidence. Louis will trust their word and calm himself down. Strengths: Bat Swinging- After having played baseball for most of his life, Louis is great at using his favorite weapon. He has owned this wooden bat since he was a kid and has grown so good with using it that his bat never leaves his side. It’s basically the only thing he is really good at fighting wise thanks to his upper body strength. Endurance- While he might be okay with being light at his feet, he is far better at going on long travels. He has traveled so much that he has gotten extremely good at long travels and other endurance based things. Louis is also good at enduring pretty much any kind of physical exercise. Even if he is weak in that area, he still manages to endure it. He just pushes through it well. Mapping- Louis is great at mapping, able to recognize any territory he has ever been on before. Of course, he might not always be great with directions, but he will always remember an area once he has been there before and will be able to provide any information on it. Whether large hoards surround that area or if there is a peace trading settlement nearby, he remembers it all. Weakness: Ranged-Fighting- With poor aim, he can only really use his pistol up close but even then it damages his ears quite a bit to the point where he refuses to use it most of the time. He mostly relies on others to do long distance fighting because of his terrible aim. Trust- Louis has a hard time trusting anyone. There are very few people he trusts in the group and this isn’t to say he doesn’t like them, but he just doesn’t trust them. If it was a life or death scenario, trust this person or die, Louis would hesitate an extreme amount, trying to desperately find a different option before trusting said person with his life or that of someone else. He especially wouldn’t trust anyone with the life of someone else. Mentality- Louis suffers a lot mentally. It is almost impossible to get the right pills to ease or at least help his mental state, pharmacies looted and drug stores abandoned. Now, he has to face not only his intense anxiety with nothing to really help him, but PTSD and dysphoria which slowly takes a toll on anyone. Louis is lucky to have found hormone pills, but it is still not enough to help with everything going on. Worst thing is, he tries to hide this instability to make it easier on the others in the group. He knows it isn’t good, but he can’t burden people with his feelings. Likes: Quiet, reading, taking about different places, feeling genuinely happy, stupid jokes, warm, non-canned food (preferably vegetables), exploring, and small animals since they are just so cute. Dislikes: Loud things with lots of commotion, nightmares, people suggestively flirting with him, having to sit still in one place for too long, cold, flavorless food, lots of blood, and sometimes red meat (it depends what kind of meat and how stable he is that day.) Reputation: He generally has a good reputation with the others despite his awkwardness and passive aggressive energy. Louis is full of sass, jokes, and sometimes harsh retorts so he is known for that, but to more close friends he is a bit more of a character. Weapons: Louis always carries three different weapons on him. When he was younger, he took his dad’s gun and he still has it despite not being good at aiming it. He can barely even use it because it attracts those creatures. It’s your standard handgun with nothing special to it other than Louis’s signature scratched into it with his knife. Speaking of his knife, it’s less of a weapon and more of an everything tool. The steel blade has dulled over time, the handle a little worse for wear. It still works as a weapon, but it is much better as a razor, carving, or apple peeling tool. Although, his favorite weapon is his bat. With iron nails protruding from the end, Louis can really get a good swing at zombies with this especially after all his practice with it. Rank: Observer Affiliations: Has an okay affiliation with most of the group. (Will update after discussion!) Significant Other: None yet. Offspring: N/a Kin: Dad- Henry Jackson, 47 [Dead], Mom- Erika Jackson, 45 [Probably Alive], Sister- Kendil Jackson, 28 [Probably Dead], + Brother- Simon Jackson, 19 [Probably Alive] Voice: His father was from New York and his mom was from Louisiana so he has a mixture of both their accents. He says you like ‘ya’ or ‘yuh.’ When he says no, it sounds more like ‘new.’ ‘U’ sounds turn into ‘o’ while ‘er’ sounds sound more like ‘ar.’ Words that have ‘all’ tend to sound more like ‘aw’ so you can definitely hear the mixture of his New York City and New Orelens accent popping through. He talks quickly as well so what he is saying isn’t always understood most of the time. For a long while, he had a very high pitched voice, but overtime and after taking more hormone pills, Louis’s voice grew deeper although still a bit higher than most men. His voice is smooth and silky almost, like a soft fabric you could almost just touch. His tone is either filled with passive aggressive anger slowly bubbling up, nervous and worried prattle, or it is bubbling over with excitement and pure joy. When he gets excited, even his voice is uplifting. And God, his laughter. It sounds precious almost, just a soft giggle but it makes him seem a lot different than when he is normally less happy. Handwriting: Louis’ handwriting is one of two things: either it is sloppier than a serial killer’s in a horror film or it is as strange as a doctor’s penmanship. Sometimes when he is frustrated, annoyed, or confused, his writing will appear bigger, letters bolder and often traced over multiple times in his intense emotions. When he is calmer, his handwriting is somewhat neater? Well sort of. The letters are less bold but they are harder to read when they seem more scrunched together and written more quickly rather than out of frustration. Theme Song(s): Crazy by Gnarls Barkley, Legend by The Score, Father of Mine by Everclear, Blah Blah Blahby Armin van Buuren, Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls, + Yellow by Coldplay History: When he was younger, Louis trusted his dad with his whole heart. When his dad convinced the family to join this community of people called the ‘Holy Purifiers’ when Louis was not yet even four, Louis was fully on board. They moved from Louisiana, where all his mother’s culture was, out to Iowa where they knew no one and no one knew them except for a friend of a friend of Louis’s dad. They were all instantly welcomed in the family of over seventy people. There was free health care, good housing, other kids Louis’ age, a good school, and amazing food that would always be eaten in a large cafeteria. Same time everyday, the whole community got together to eat. The leader of the Purifiers was Oscar and he had been a priest long before Louis was even born. He had a charismatic smile and was always open and inviting to others. There were a few rules when they entered the community. Don’t talk about the warehouse, the priest’s and the Ancients’ word goes, and don’t go in the warehouse. The warehouse rule was added after the outbreak of creatures started. Two years later, when Louis had just turned five, Louis started realizing something was off. That the town, the group of people itself, felt… off. The people were always happy, but the teachers at Louis’s school were strict with their punishment of talking about the world outside of the town. One time, he was talking a lot about Mardi Gras and a teacher got so mad at him that she hit him on the wrist with a wooden paddle until it broke. He ran home crying to his dad, trying to get him to do something about his teacher. “What did you expect?” His dad only said with dull, lifeless eyes. “You broke the rules.” More and more strange things started happening when he got older. He noted that Oscar had three wives, one his own age, one half his age, and the last younger than his sister, Kendil. He would see little girls be brought to his quarters and come back out crying. When he was younger, he would always stay with Kendil at all times for fear of being taken into that room. The Purifiers also had a group of elderly people who were called ‘the Ancients’ up until he was nine. The Ancients were all found dead one night with pale faces and bloodshot eyes. That meant that all the power that was once divided among Oscar and the Ancient all went to Oscar. The teachers, the adults, and Oscar all said it was from natural causes. Louis and his Kendil knew better. Louis’s little brother, Simon, on the other hand believed Oscar. He followed him so blindly. One night, when Kendil went out for a walk, she didn’t return until very late. Her eyes had that dead look to them that his father had, her arms and thighs covered in bruises, and her lip busted. Louis never had a normal conversation with Kendil after that. He knew he was on his own. After the creature outbreak, things were different. Louis still played baseball, Louis still went to school, and the community still ate together. Same time everyday, the whole community got together to eat. Food was getting more and more scarce though and walls were built in place to prevent creatures from getting in. Oscar would say that ‘the sin of man and the devil himself is what is purging the people’ and that ‘those who have sinned are the only ones who should fret and we are the spitting image of God so we will be the ones who live.’ Louis remembered hearing the next day that they would be switching the kind of meat they ate to chicken instead of beef like what the community had been eating before. Louis also remembered the day his father and his sister got severely sick. Their skin was going pale and their eyes bloodshot. Louis’s mother suggested that he went out to get medication for the two of them. He didn’t get to say goodbye to his dad who died slowly and in pain. For weeks this day plagued him until he connected the dots while eating in the cafeteria. The symptoms his dad had was the same the Ancients had and that the ‘chicken’ didn’t taste like chicken. Abruptly, Louis got up and started spewing what he thought was happening. What was happening. It was like he wasn’t even in control of his own body as the words just kept spilling out of his lips. The Ancients and his dad were poisoned and now his dad had been made into food. He was dragged out of the cafeteria by the teachers. Everything after that point became fuzzy, but when he woke up in the morning in his bed, bruises were on his neck and thighs, his ribs broken and his leg twisted in a horrific way, and his hands and legs were strapped to the corners of his bed with leather. They, the teachers who taught him everything he knew, were performing what felt like an exorcism on him. He couldn’t move and he felt drugged, like it was all a hallucination. What happened in the days after that still traumatizes Louis and he still hates to think of it. He tries to block it out of his memory entirely. All you need to know is that he left the community after a cross was burned into his neck. After living on his own for two years, he joined the group. Other: Louis keeps notes on everyone and everything in his notebook just in case he dies. That way, people at least know what happened to him. His left leg is slightly weaker than his right so if you hit it, his legs will most definitely buckle. He does want to own a pet, but he doesn’t even know how he could find one let alone if it would like him.
