Describe your character's life before the Apocalypse: Growing up within sight of the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, Laura Costigan grew up the daughter of a Salt Lake City police chief (Lawrence) and a BYU professor (Eliana)...after graduating top of her class at Avenues High School in Salt Lake, Laura attended the University of Utah, graduating there with a double degree (B.Sc. in Criminal Justice - Minor, Communications), Laura applied for and was accepted into training to serve as a Utah Highway Patrol officer. Over time, Laura moved up the positional ladder, eventually landing on the Security Detail for the Governor of Utah, which meant that on Outbreak Day....
What happened to your character on Outbreak Day?: ...Laura Costigan was at the State Capitol as part of Gov. Herbert's detail when everything fell apart; one moment, they were entering the capitol to brief state lawmakers on the pandemic, the next moment her and the dozen officers assigned are fighting life and limb to evacuate the governor. After getting out of the capitol building, the security detail split into two groups: one group (with Gov. Herbert) flew out of the area (the helicopter crashed en-route to Hill AFB), the other (w/Costigan) left on foot as a decoy...
Describe your character's life after the Apocalypse: After splitting with the rest of the decoy team, Laura Costigan began what most survivors across the land did...survive on her own, sometimes w/a small group or two, sometimes by herself, but as the weeks stretched into months, she just kept going. Why? Well, why not! Day after day after day, two things are on her mind, survival and finding another group of survivors to join up with, both for strength in numbers and to preserve whatever sense of sanity she has left...
