One x One The Running Dead

[Captain]

Name: Sawyer Willson


Age: 22 years old


Appearance: See picture. He is about 1.80 meters tall and is lean.


History: Sawyer was an ordinary boy who’s big dream was to become a professional soccer player. Then the Apocalypse happened, and he had no choice but to try his hardest to survive not only the zombies, but also the shortening supply of food and hostile survivors. He tries to avoid the major cities, but sometimes he sneaks in at night if he’s really desperate for food. He was 17 when the Apocalypse started, and has now grown into a confident, but closed off loner.


Personality: Before the Apocalypse he was a very social and outgoing person, but when the zombies came he lost everything that was dear to him and he began to grow weary and closed off to anyone he came across. He prefers to be alone now, because he doesn’t trust large groups and doesn’t want to be responsible for anyone. Even when he meets seemingly good people, he never stays with them. Still, he often feels hopelessly lonely.


Personality in short: Strong, confident, weary, private, is politely friendly to people when he comes across them, but not more than that.


Strengths:


- Has strong Survival Instinct.


- Knows how to fight and defend himself


- Has invented a special way to avoid zombies seeing him.


Weaknesses:


- He’s vulnerable for both zombies and other survivors because he is alone


- Has asthma, which means that he can barely breathe whenever he panics.


- He’s terrible at shooting guns and can only attack zombies with his knife, which means he always has to get into grabbing range of the zombies to attack them.


Weapons: A hunting knife that he wears in a sheath on his belt, where he can grab it within seconds if necessary. He also has an empty pistol, which is mostly meant to scare off people if he needs to. He ran out of bullets a long time ago, and hasn’t find any new ones yet.

 

[DistortedLodestar]

Name: Nova Stevens (Kind of like a supernova... I'm kind of a fan of those)


Age: 18 years old


Appearance: Refer to picture. He's a bit lanky and stands at 1.75 meters tall.


History: Being that Nova was merely thirteen when the apocalypse started, he hadn't have much time to experience a normal life as a maturing teen. He was always the class clown, but in the more 'awkward kid who can be funny occasionally' sort of way, so he had to rapidly attain a more mature sense of self to survive the crumbing environment. Being that he didn't really have any role models to show him the way of how to survive besides his friends who he stuck with at the beginning before they either died off or left him, he attained a more indecisive and clumsy demeanor. The apocalypse had actually began in his state and town when he was in school. By the time he was able to return home, his parents were missing and all he could find as evidence of their deaths was blood, unidentified bodily organs, and limbs that he wasn't even sure belonged to them. Nova survives mostly by scavenging, traveling briefly with groups who always end up dumping him alone somewhere, and using his climbing skills to hide among the treetops when needed.


Personality: Before the Apocalypse, Nova was pretty outgoing, carefree, and had no sense of authority. As he grew older with death surrounding him, he became rather flighty, trusting, and clumsy. He likes to trust in others easily because he doesn't trust himself enough to make good decisions, so he's learned to rely on those who do. Although Nova's strange sense of humor tends to drive people away and do the opposite of what's intended (which is to lighten things up when it gets too intense for him), he's actually really soft-hearted and emotional. He's tried to get used to the harshness of other survivors, but being that he still has the mind of a child, he could never become acquainted with the sharp words that were often thrown at him.


Personality in short: Clumsy, kind-hearted, trusting, naive, immature, unsure, and reliant. He can learn things rather quickly though, something he's glad of.


Strengths:


- Quick learner with some strong skills including tree climbing and handling guns.


- Very loyal to his friends, is particularly observant.


- Being that his dad was a paramedic, he knows how to treat a number of wounds.


Weaknesses:


- He’s unstable on his feet and can't hold up on his own very well.


- Quite scared of the dark and what goes lurks within it even though monsters roam the Earth even in the daylight.


- Trusts too easily, which has led to him being robbed blind a number of times.


Weapons: A few handguns that he stores in his belt. The ammo that he's been collecting is kept in his backpack which he was luckily able to keep from when the apocalypse had first begun. He also has a small pocket knife that he found in an old convenience store, but it has started to rust and can only assist in cutting through thinner objects and even skin
