Describe your character's life before the Apocalypse:
-Before the outbreak Reese was just a normal kid. He was a bit of a nerd. He loved comic books and video games. He avoided the outdoors like the plague was going to get him. He wasn't much for sports or playing outside. He much preferred to have his nose in a comic book reading about fantastical adventures. He had two parents Martin and Emily who were good parents. He was loved, cared for. He wanted for nothing. Reese was always a smart kid. He did well in school and basically had a chance to write his ticket anywhere when he graduated. He never gave his future much though, he was having much more interested in enjoying his time as a kid.
Reese was happy. He was starting to like girls and had his eye on one in particular. He was nervous. He had never had a girlfriend before. Sadly he would never get that chance. He was at school when the school was ordered to be shut down because of a parent teacher conference The buses were to take the kids home early and it was kind of strange. He had no clue anything was about to go wrong. He was just a kid living his life. Life was good. What could go wrong?
What happened to your character on Outbreak Day?:
-You know how they say that the family of a violent killer never saw it coming? That's true in this case too. Reese thought he had a happy home with parents that loved each other. He never knew the hatred they had for each other behind the scenes. His parents hid it well from him. Reese had been sent home early for the parent teacher conference. His parents never showed up though. His father had murdered his mother in a violent argument. Panicking his father heard Reese come home from school early. "Mom! Dad! I'm home early! You guys have to meet with my teachers so they can brag what a good kid I am!" He called out through the seemingly empty house as he plopped on the couch. Turning on the tv he heard his father call back. "Hey Reese. My wallet's on the table why don't you take $40 and go to the movies and get some lunch."
Reese didn't argue he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. His father was in the bathroom sawing his mother's body in half. She had been dead for several hours. She was going to turn any minute though Martin didn't know that. Reese grabbed the cash and headed out the front door. Moment's later, when Reese was out of earshot his father's screams echoed through the house as the severed reanimated head of his mother bit his father. Reese made it to the theater, but the place was closed. A lot of things were closed today. Shrugging he went back home only to be greeting by his mother's head in the bathroom floor snapping it's jaws in the direction of his father's corpse. His father had bled out from the bite to the wrist. She had bit through a vein. It didn't take long for him to bleed out on the floor. This was just the beginning for Reese's nightmares.
Describe your character's life after the Apocalypse:
- Shortly after the outbreak Reese found himself in a group of survivors. They were kids, teens, mostly youngsters. The only person in their group was 15, the youngest member was 9. They were all scared. Frightened. The adults of the world were all becoming the most violent, worst versions of themselves. They were becoming the parts of themselves that they once hid from society. Child molesters, rapists, murderers. It seemed there wasn't any lines anymore. You could cross lines at will and everything was fair game.
When their small group of teens was attacked by one such monster of society they fought back. They were just kids and young adults, but they were strong together. They found refuge in an abandoned toy store. The toys there provided some distraction. Some respite from the harshness of the world, but their childhoods were gone. There was no time to be a kid anymore, those days were gone. Reese eventually found himself leading this small group of 20 or so kids. They found weapons, they made their own weapons, they used whatever they could to keep themselves safe.
Reese wouldn't let anything happen to them. He was one of the oldest kids there. He was responsible. He didn't take that lightly. Each one of the kids in his group looked up to him as a big brother, as a leader. Even the kid who was 2 years older than him looked up to him. Reese was going to see these kids grow to become adults themselves. He wouldn't allow them to get corrupted and become monsters like the men that once made up their fragile society. He was trying his best to a role model and survive in this world himself.
