Describe your character's life before the Apocalypse: Growing up within eyesight of Philadelphia, Brandon (a/k/a Bam for his prat falls & comedic hijinx), he would practice his skateboarding skills at every opportunity (sometimes at the detriment of his school studies)...but his skateboarding talents eventually led him to become a multi-talented person, becoming known for his exploits, practical jokes and stunts on the MTV show Jackass (along with a large cast of others, for the record), which got him guest appearances on several other shows and the occasional Hollywood film.
What happened to your character on Outbreak Day?: -Even though the Big Apple was in the process of shutting down, Brandon (along with his cohorts) decided to do one show at what was probably the "safest place" their manager could find....Rikers Island. During the course of their show, the festivities were interrupted by what they thought was a fight between inmates; what was actually going on was that one of the inmates at Rikers had "turned" and was attacking another inmate. Most of the show members - including Brandon - were able to escape the steadily growing horror show in front of them (their manager and a few friends weren't as forunate, however), hiding out first on the tour buses before taking shelter inside the jail complex itself alongside surviving staff, inmates and corrections guards.
Describe your character's life after the Apocalypse: -Despite several offers in the days and weeks afterward to be evacuated, Brandon (and the rest of his tour-mates, for that matter), having helped with post-Outbreak Day efforts to clean out and clear the Island, decided to stay as most of them - Brandon included - figured they likely wouldn't survive on the outside trying to get back to their homes and families. Over time, Brandon became one of the Island's Scavengers, helping keep the Island in as good a shape as possible; after three years, he's become one of the leaders of the Scavengers under Tegan Lyell and is part of the Island's re-activated group known as the Scouts.
