Describe your character's life before the Apocalypse:
Kenneth grew up a farmboy on the outskrits of New Bern, North Carolina. He was the youngest of three brothers and already in early age he showed an interest in inventing new things. Over the years as he became older he was taught how to run the farm, and once he began school he gained many friends, some who would stick around throughout most of his life. At the age of ten his mother died due to cancer, and it turned his father into a grieving drunk. While Kenneth`s dad neglected his duties, the responsibiilty fell to his sons. Kenneth had no other option but to help out more, and with his brothers he did the best he could.
During his teenage years he continued to make stuff out of nothing, soon taking on small jobs on the side for the local residents as a handy man, doing whatever needed fixing. He got praised by many for his talents, though his brothers and father kept him in leech. After high school ended they refused his request to go to college, forcing him to stay home. Eventually he fell in love with a beautiful woman, who later proved to be cheating on him with his elder brother. Angered by the betrayel, Kenneth tried to distance himself from the family, but one way or another they always found a way to lure him back into the fold.
What happened to your character on Outbreak Day?:
Despite the warnings from the news, New Bern fell victim to the virus. Kenneth was home in his apartment when it happened, refusing to believe the nonsense on tv. He soon discovered how life threatning the situation was when he himself came into contact with one of the infected, unaware that everyone had it. He managed to fight off the individual, unintental killing her, noticing just afterwards that it had been his neighbour. Horrified by the incident, he fled town to find his family. Even though they had argued in the past, he refused to give up on them in a time of need.
When he arrived he found his childhood home empty, but as he began to search the surroundings, he found them all alive and well out hunting in the woods. Quickly he tried to explain what was going on, although they too refused to believe it. Just in case, he decided to stay with them and thus spent the entire day at the farm without nothing else happening.
Describe your character's life after the Apocalypse:
Days went by without an incident, but everywhere else civilization collapsed. It didn`t take far to long before they felt its impact and soon enough, Kenneth`s family had no choice but to believe him. Three weeks into the apocalypse they were forced off their land, as an approaching horde came tearing through the fence. His father and his second brother died in the attempt to flee, only Kenneth, his eldest brother and his ex-girlfriend survived. Together they roamed about, which gave them time to reconcile.
They found other survivors, soldiers who had tried to fight the infected. At first they seemed friendly, protecting the innocent, but later they would turn against those they were sworn to defend. Kenneth and the other survivors became pawns for those with guns, and they built a community under the leadership of a ruthless army officer. It was only by share luck that they managed to escape, but his ex-girlfriend didn`t make it out.
On the run he and his brother fought for survival, eventually the pursuers gave up chasing them and they were able to move on. Months and years later, Kenneth was the only survivor left. His brother had died in a ditch somewhere, eaten alive by dozen walkers. He had no clue where to go, but sought to find a way, no matter where he traveled next.
