Name: Lukas Felix Fletcher
Nickenames: Luke or Lukie
Appearance: Just a bit more water oughtta do it….
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Role: Gardener/Scientist
Biography: Luke grew up in one of the small villages between Qujaul and Sholdom. His parents didn't have a whole lot outside of their small farm, they made what little money they could off sales on homemade goods such as medicines, cosmetics, and wines.
It wasn't until after Luke was ten that life started to look up in the financial area. His devious Uncle Kenneth on his father's side barreled into the the Fletcher family home late one night rambling on about scheme involving his wagon and the Fletcher goods, and so Fletcher's Homebrews was born.
Bored with staying on the farm and under the guise of assistance, Luke travelled frequently into the city after his uncle wreaking boyish havoc in the streets outside of the many shops his uncle carried his dealings.
By the time Luke was sixteen he had discovered that his true passion laid in the plants grown for Fletcher's. Fascinated and curious, Luke made a few tweaks to several of the Fletcher family recipes and created most of the now popular Fletcher products. Now with a successful product, Fletcher's became a hit and his parents and uncle opened their own store in the city.
His parents, desperate to give Luke the life they never thought he could never have, enrolled him in pre-law, unaware that his true passion was Fletcher's.
Cue Sophia. Sophia with the coal black hair. Sophia with the sad emerald eyes. Sophia with the beautiful laugh. Strong Sophia. Loving Sophia. Beautiful Sophia. Sophia, so far out of little Luke's "league " that everyone was shocked when he confessed his love for her, but even more shocked when she returned it. Luke loved Sophia and she him. You couldn't hardly have one without the other. They fell in love over plants, over wine, over tears. Sophia knew Luke really wanted to quit law and take over Fletcher's and have a huge greenhouse filled with beautiful flowers. Luke knew that Sophia was infertile and battled with never feeling her worth or good enough. Sophia encouraged Luke to confess his desires to his parents, and she stood by him as he did so.
Happily, Luke started to assist in managing Fletcher's part-time, and with the money he earned from that the pair moved into a top-floor shoebox of an apartment where he set up a small windowsill greenhouse.
As he started to take on more responsibility managing the store he filled that greenhouse with seeds bought from the general store next door. Three times a week he'd browse through the seeds they had, three times a week he'd talk to blonde friendly stranger. It didn't take Luke long to express his desire to go back to school and take biology. With both the strangers and Sophia's encouragement he enrolled and cut back his hours at Fletcher's.
However wonderful, it didn't last long. In only a few short months’ disaster hit in what seemed like over-night. Unprepared for the chaos that shook the streets Luke went into the heart of the city to find his beloved. Out of breath, but alive he found his Sophia exactly where he thought she'd be. Opening the cupboard in their one room apartment, his tiny fiancé shook. Gathering her up, the pair locked themselves in the bathroom and waited what they thought the worst to be over. Eventually the pair survived and made it to the school where they shared room ten.
They both had roles; he made salves and medicines for the survivors, she scavenged with a team. He grew her lilies and she brought some pieces back so that someday he could make that huge greenhouse. If the pair didn't think on the horrid situation too hard the pair were blissfully happy.
Sophia's death was sudden, Sophia's death was gruesome, but most importantly Sophia's death changed everything. No longer unable to turn his back to the reality of the situation, it piled on him like a ton of bricks. He blamed the city, he blamed her job, but most of all he blamed himself. He blamed his damned ignorance of the situation.
What if his salves could clean a zombie bite? Was it even possible?
Unable to to stay in the space that he once, so recently just shared with the woman he thought the love of his life, Luke was reassigned. Moving his work and life to room eight, he began throwing himself into his work. Alongside making his current salves and medicines he started on his ultimate cleanser. It took him months to recognize his blonde roommate as the blonde supportive stranger from the seed store.
Now just under two years later, Luke still hasn't lost hope. He's still perfecting his salve, he still loves his plants.
A kaffir lily he has named Sophia sits blooming beside his bedside table.
Personality: Sophia's death has changed a lot, but it hasn't changed that fact that Luke sees the glass as half full and it hadn't emptied Luke of his hope. Although he still blames himself, he recognizes that he is still alive and so many people didn't make it from the initial disaster. Luke not only has a pretty decently sized greenhouse full of plants, his shelves in his room are filled with them. Often he takes breaks from his lab and follows the scavengers into the city for parts, nutrients, and seeds. Luke treats his plants the way many people treat their animals, his favourites even have a name and a birthday.
Not only has Luke persevered and held onto his hope, but he encourages others to do so. He loves days of celebrations like Christmas and birthdays and loves to give gifts. Often he'll give gifts of homemade hooch or young plants. His gifting of plants isn’t limited to celebrations. Often he'll give plants to those who seem lonely or who have gotten sick. Luke was a vegetarian for preference reasons pre-zombie but now he no longer cares and eats when there is food.

Room: 8
Likes: plants, small animals, kaffir lilies, Christmas and birthdays, showing people his greenhouse, homemade wine, and cooking

Username: Ershler
Username: Josephine “Josie” Beaulieu
Character's name: Josephine “Josie” Beaulieu
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Birthday: Fall 17
Year: Freshman
Career: Dancer or the burlesque persuasion
Biography: Growing up Josie spent most of her time hidden back stage in numerous exotic clubs. It makes sense seeing as her mother was on stage. However, unlike most children in Josie’s situation, she loved the clubs. Growing up she loved that her mother had the self confidence to be up there. Its not like the woman didn’t have other options. She could have committed to law after finishing school before Josie was born. Her mother had options and she chose what she loved. It kind of caused Josie her self to fall in love. With dancing on her brain, Josie practiced and diligently. By the age of seventeen she just knew, she knew she wanted to be up on stage, for sure, but she also knew that she didn’t want to removal of her clothes to be part of her routine.
Shortly after her own realization the movie Burlesque was released and her dreams were filled with dimly lit clubs filled with dancer dressed like pin-ups. She knew, she just knew.
From that day until now she’s done everything she can to follow in those footsteps and nothing will deter her hopes… or will it?
Personality: The best word Josie uses to describe herself is lazy. She is so lazy that she’s productive. Often she’ll do things that later make her down time 3000% easier. Like precooking meals and freezing them every two weeks so she wouldn’t have to cook at night, or planning her outfits for the week and hanging them out so she could get optimized time sleeping in. Her make-up routine? Planned. Her time? Scheduled. Some might say she goes a little nuts just so when the time comes to sit down she never has to get up. She can stay in bed watching videos of cats, watching videos of killer dance routines, reading novels, and napping.
However, this is not her only trait. Josie also loves to laugh, she’ll often crack jokes of all kinds sometimes not realizing people may not find her jokes funny. She also loves to flirt, to break and bend rules, and rarely will she commit to anything new unless she really notices the benefits of said commitments.
Josie can also be quite brash and over perverse in her humour. She’ll often crack subtle jokes to her own promiscuous experience. If she warms up to you, don’t be surprised if she tells awful and awkward stories.
Likes: Jokes, puns, flowers, new make-up, lingerie shopping, reading romance novels, champagne, bubble baths
Dislikes: bad smells, stuffy perfume, vodka (bad experience, ask her about it sometime) “humorless punks”, her down time being interrupted
Appearance: Rules were made to broken.
Lives: Room 10 in the Mineral Town dorm
Other:
-Josie totally understand that her filterless humour, although great to herself, makes people uncomfortable. Of you find where the topic of conversation is heading is inappropriate, just say so.
-Josie is no child hell bent on getting married and having kids. Although she loves the idea of being in love, she can’t say she’s really experienced it. Don’t expect serious commitment out of her until she sees it first.
-Gender? Why does it even matter? Josie appreciates both male and female form.
-Josie loves to sing and thinks she could be the next idol but she is ghastly at it and refuses to listen to people who tell her otherwise.
-Josie loves to party and loves shenanigans, expect her to be a little out there. Skip class? Probably. Start a food fight? Likely. Dance on tables in place where food is served? Wouldn’t put it past her. But if Josie through a party, everyone’s invited and they better expect it get at least a little crazy.
