Describe your character's life before the outbreak:
Before the outbreak Talon was a guard at a prison. It wasn't a flashy high paying job that would keep him rolling in $12 cigars, but it was work. It was food on the table. Talon never really cared about the inmates or what they did. Didn't matter. All he knew was that he was on one side of the cage and they were on the other. He liked to flex his authoritative muscle and display his control over their every waking moments. Taunting the inmates often and making more enemies than friends inside amongst the population of the inmates. One day a riot broke out. Some of the inmates got out, most tried to escape. Others, only wanted one thing. To get their hands on the man who made their lives a living hell. Talon Callaway. The held him down and blinded him with a bottle of chemicals one of the inmates had managed to conceal in a small container. It blinded Talon in one eye and only made him more hateful and vindictive then ever.
What happened to your character on outbreak day?:
On outbreak day Talon was at work. As usual he was in a particularly bad mood. Being around this scum normally pissed him off and he didn't learn his lesson. The loss of his eye only mad him a bigger prick. He got death threats, so what. Half the prison guards here got death threats. They had their chance and couldn't finish the job. Talon was walking the corridor. He rounded the corner to see three guys standing over a dead body. They stabbed him 37 times and let him bleed out on the floor.
Talone: Hey you assholes! Drop the weapon!
Talon reached of his nightstick. He smiled. He was going to enjoy this. He was looking for some trouble makers, so he'd have an excuse to beat someone fucking senseless today. He made them line up and instead of taking them in to solitary confinement. He started beating the guy with the nighstick. His two friends tried to join in but Talon was quick to squash that shit right there! Talon was beating all three of them. One was going for the knife that was by the body when the body came back to life and bit the guy! The guy screamed and howled. Talon didn't know what he just saw, that guy was dead. He was more than fucking dead, he was a god dam door stop now. but there he was ....... eating the guy. The alarm sirens went off and Talon got the hell out of there. He wasn't getting caught in another situation to loose another eye. He thought it was another rot. It was just the prison alerting the guards that someone had died in the infirmary due to injuring and were attacking the other patients. Talon left the prison before the place went on FUCLL LOCKDOWN. It was going to be one long, very bad, fucked up, not so nice day.
What happened to your character after the apocalypse:
After the world took a fucking cyanide capsule and up and fucking killed itself; Talon found himself alone. Not, that he wasn't alone before the world crapped out, but he found it ..... Lonlier now. He was never one for a deep need of human connection; human misery and isolation paired with disturbing self reflection suited him just fine. But now, now was different. There wasn't the constant chur of bodies lining the sidewalks. Not living ones anymore anyways. Shops and stores were no longer filled with people, but ghosts. Ghosts of a long forgotten world that slowly choked on foolish pride and man's ego. ( Talon assumes the outbreak was a man made catastrophe ) Nelson likes to refer to the dead ones as "The Departed" Talon just called them Rotters. Talon didn't have a problem with the rotters. He knew they were dangerous but he wasn't afraid of them. He didn't have anything else going for them, and now the world was filled with things that he could take his anger out on; consequence free. It was like a god dam gift all wrapped in a bow. Talon killed many walkers before he found Nelson, a man who took him into his group and tried to show Talon that the world was suffering, it was wounded; but it could be healed. Sounded like a bunch of shit to Talon, but Nelson wasn't a half bad guy and he was offering free food and a place to hang his hat. Talon joined Nelson's group with a promise of a bright future......
Nelson's group fell apart at the seems. Talon, who used to be Nelson's top enforcer found himself tangled up with a small group consisting of Julie Archer, Rook Bates and Sophia Cromer. After a one night stand Talon and Sophia sort of became trapped in each other's lives. Talon didn't want connections, he didn't want to be tied down but he may have accidentally done that to himself getting involved with an unstable woman. Talon was planning on leaving Sophia and her friends before the place they were holed up in got over run by the dead. Talon found himself on his own again. After hearing over the radio that Nelson basically wanted him dead for messing things up Talon decided to go off on his own. He found himself the leader of a small group in San Diego. He now runs a bandit camp trying to protect supplies they found in an evacuated city. There's enough supplies worth protecting, and fighting over. Talon and his men are ready for anything..... Except running back into Sophia which will happen very soon. This is where his story picks up.
