His arms are completely covered in tattoos that have meanings behind them that tells a tale of life before the outbreak, his upper torso is mostly covered in tattoos as well.. Barrett has almost sparking white teeth when he smiles at you.... you're not sure why but you feel a little creeped out.
Occupation (studies, job before the outbreak):

List 3 good personality traits:

List 3 or more bad personality traits:
- Egocentric
- Impulsive
- Domineering ( With his subordinates he can become a bit demanding, but those under him look up to him; but Barrett will gladly follow orders handed down to him )
List 3 strengths:
- Brutal nature ( His violence sometimes bleeds out of his cool cocky exterior and his violent tendencies are one of the reasons he's still alive.... Barrett has no problem hurting anyone or anything that gets in the way of what he wants. He would actually enjoy the exprience )
- Exceptional shot with most firearms ( He discovered the joys of going to the gun range and the power and control he felt with the cool metal of a gun in his hand and the knowledge that in his hand he had the power to take a life in seconds.. He was hooked. He became profiecent in all the firearms they had at his favorite gun range.)
- Solid negociator ( As a road talent scout; Barrett would have to be able to talk any potential signees into joining the label... He was as silver tounge as they come. Barrett could sell homeowner's insurance to a homeless man..
List 3 or more flaws:
- Curious nature (Once he notices something, Barrett can not resist checking it out further... It's like a little voice in the back of his head that won't let up until he knows everything about it.... Even if it's dangerous...
- Sometimes reckless behavior ( Doesn't think about the consequences of his actions at all times, leading to him making questionable decisioins sometimes )
- Does not have the courage to lead ( Although Barrett would make an excellent leader of a stronghold of his own he doesn't have the courage to take on the role; always seeing himself delegated to the role of second in command or number two guy.)
Describe your character's life before the outbreak:
Barrett Cole was the very definition of an asshole. He wore fancy suits and $300 sunglasses indoors at night. He went to loud crowded bars and hit on women while his wife was at home. Barrett loved his "on the road" lifestyle. He was a Talent scout for a major record label. The label's offices were in California, but he got to stay pretty close to his hometown of Kittyhawk NC, as they wanted eyes on the eastcoast looking for potential new stars.. Barrett was just one of many scouts they had under their employe, but he was the only one on the eastcoast. He would travel from florida to Virginia, to Rhode Island to Maine with touring bands from the label... His life was a revolving door of getting drunk and high and banging beautiful women behind his wife's back one his nightly visits to the local nightlife searching for talent. Barrett was good at his job though. He had an amazing eye for talent, not just musically, but what was trending and what would catch on what acts would need a bit of fixing and which one's just weren't worth the trouble to sign ... Three of the first few bands he signed went on to be some of the biggest money makers for the label.. They opted to leave Barrett to his unusual tatics as long as he was getting results they didn't care if he got hammered everynight and banged every woman that he saw.... Barrett Cole was making them a lot of money.... Barrett's wife knew about the cheating though.. She hired a private investegator to follow Barrett on one of his scouting trips and she got back pictures of him with three different women on the same night. She filed for divorce and started the proceedings to take everything he had. Barrett was angry. How can Debra do this to ME? He thought. He tried to talk her out of it but she was done with him, and rightfully so. Debra knew she deserved better than a husband who cheats and is never home..... The papers got filed, but nothing ever came of it the world ended and Debra got killed in a car accident. Even though he didn't know about her passing away, Barrett now referes to her as his "Ex-Wife."
What happened to your character on outbreak day:
Outbreak day for Barrett was pretty mundane. He didn't get attacked by the dead that day at any rate. Barrett was coming back home. He had his suitecase in his hand when he walked in the door and his wife Debra was walking right past him with her suitcase in hers. Barrett knew this had to have been coming at some point, and he did love his wife, he just couldn't resist the sweet tempation of another woman.... Especially not with them throwing themselves at him. Barrett tried to explain tried to get her to listen to him, but it was no use. She threw her suitcase in the car and was gone before he could finish explaining. Barrett punched the front door of their house until his wrist went numb before going inside to drink himself into temporary voluntary amnesia.... (blackout drunk) Barrett did not know that while he was quietly crawling inside of a bottle that the world around him was ending. Barrett took a sip of his beer and cut on netflix and started watching whatever wasn't to depressing. He wasn't in a good mood. Barrett's wife at about this time was struggling for her last breath. She had gotten about three blocks away when she ran a red light trying to wipe the tears from her eyes.... She was hit a broken rib punctured her lung. Debra was going to die. No ambulance on earth was going to be quick enough to save her. She died in the street alone while Barrett drank himself into a stupor...
Describe your character's life after the apocalypse:
Barrett was never even informed that his wife was dead. The police and all emergency services personel had been to overwelmed to make those kind of phone calls. Even if they had made the time for it, there were some many random deaths they couldn't have possibly notified everyone. Barrett figured that she had left to go back to her sister's house in South Carolina.. Debra was always going on about how her sister didn't like him and she was always getting offered a room at her house if Debra would; as her sister would say "leave that fucking bum." Barrett knew that she would probably go there.. Where else would she go? Neither he or her had any other living relatives. A sad but true fact. It was just him his wife and that bitch of a sister she had; that was the extent of his family reunions.... Barrett looked at the bottle he was holding in his hand. He was half drunk and suddenly disgusted by it. He tossed it against the wall and grabbed his keys. He'd go to find her himself. The news had been saying some crazy shit but he didn't care, he had to find a way to get her back.. He made it to South Carolina.... Barely. Barrett stayed hunkered down. He was living out of an abandoned fire station.... It was safe enough. He never did find his wife though.....
3 years pass......
It's been three years since the outbreak started. Barrett has all but given up on finding Deb, he assumes she is dead like mostly everyone else that he ever knew. Barrett wa still living in his firehouse when on his way back from his run, when he noticed a man sitting on the roof of a Dodge Charger parked outside his station. Barrett did not know this man. He had a walker head spiked on the hood ..... And a blow up doll in the passenger seat? The man was smiling at Barrett.. He said he was looking for people to get shitfaced with an cause a lot of trouble. That sounds fun Barrett thought. I wouldn't mind a drink and i have a lot of anger to take out on this world. The man said his name was Rhett Diggler and that he was going to need a few folks to help him build his empire. Barrett was the first member or Rhett's crew that he recruited for his stronghold in South Carolina. Barrett took one look at his shitty little firehouse and said fuck it. He climbed in the man's backseat and the three of them sped off.....Rhett Diggler was building his army, and he just started with his first piece of the puzzle ...... Barrett Cole.
