List 3 or more bad personality traits:
- Strong willed; Kelly is steadfast in what she believes in and hell will freeze over before you change the way she thinks and what she believes in.
- Bottles up emotions; Kelly is very caring towards other members of the groups she is in, She will always have a smile on, Even if she isn't happy at all.
- Soft Hearted; Kelly is very caring to the people around her, She'll want to help anyone she see's in need no matter what might happen to herself.
List 3 strengths:
- Mechanic's daughter; Kelly was the daughter of one of the best mechanic's in town, Thus he started passing off his passion to her at a young age, working on cars became a way of feeling connected to her father after the end so she stuck with it, Expanding on what she learned from her father over the first year or so that she was in a safe place.
- Trained in Army Ranger Fighting Techniques; Kelly's brother joined the military right out of high school and joined the rangers a few years after that, one of the ways he bonded with the two eldest of his younger sisters (Kelly and Haley) was through teaching them the fighting style he was trained in. Before the end he kept it to basics, just having fun with his sisters but after the end he kicked it into full on training mode, Kelly mastered it in about a year and half.
- trained in military hand signals; Among his fighting technique Kelly's older brother also taught her the hand signals used to keep quiet when needed, she has sense taught these to Katey and they will use them when needing to be quiet.
List 3 flaws:
- residual pain from past wound; About a year or so in Kelly had a run in with an unsavory character ending with her having a broken arm. It healed up alright but it still hurts from time to time
- Insomniac; Kelly has never truly been able to sleep after the world ended, She'll generally look tired because she can't bring herself to fall asleep until the early morning hours and she tends to work late into the night on whatever vehicle she was tasked on fixing that day.
- Di-Chromat Protanope; Kelly is Blue Green colorblind, Her world is percieved in hues of yellow's, blues and greens (example below)
Describe your character's life before the Apocalypse:
- Kelly grew up in the small town of Griffin Georgia which sits just south of Atlanta with her mother, father and her three siblings, Kelly was the middle child of sorts, Being the third youngest of four Kelly had an older brother named Justin who joined up with the military right after highschool, an older sister named Haley who, to their parents protest joined the navy without their permission after she came of age, and Katey, The youngest and goofiest of the group. Kelly had always been a daddy's girl in her youth and some of the happiest moments she can remember is working on vehicles in her garage with him. He was a mechanic you see and a damn good one at that, Kelly took a liking to it at a young age and since she was five, every time her father went to the garage, so did she.
Kelly's childhood was pretty uneventful to the outside world, After her sister Katey was about three their mother took up another job on top of her current so they stopped seeing her as much, It was awkward not having mom around as much as they were used to but after a few months it fast became the norm. Kelly's became the caretaker of sorts for Katey after that, Being the oldest in a family of all boys their dad wasn't the most delicate of creatures and over the years Kelly became the mother figure to Katey in her mothers growing absence from their lives. School, Cars and taking care of her little sister dominated Kelly's adolescence.
What happened to your character on Outbreak Day?:
- On the day the world stop Kelly had just gotten home from school, Katey had yet to be picked up and their mother was still at work, Justin was in his normal spot on the couch and Haley had been sent on deployment so she hadn't been around for a few months before then. The day was very cloudy, like it was going to rain, but never did. Kelly went to let her father know that she was home and grabbed a drink before heading up to her room where she stayed for the time while she waited for Katey to get back from the bus.
That evening after the rest of the family had gotten home there was a knock on the door, although, It didn't sound like the normal wanting call of bone on wood, more like the scrape of fingernails on splintering wood panels. Kelly's mother and father rose from their seats to investigate while at the same time telling Kelly to take Katey upstairs, Just in case it was a burglar or something else that would prove a threat to the kids. Behind the door stood a walker, freshly turned from being bitten that morning. It attacked the them, Sinking its teeth into Kathey's neck as John tried to pry the thing off her.
Meanwhile Kelly and Katey had made their way to the back room near the back door, they heard the screams and the shouts from whatever was going on in the other room. The fear coursed through her veins as she waited with Katey in her arms, ready to protect her from whoever or whatever was attacking their home.
A few tense moments later their father and brother appeared around the corner, shaken and blood covered. The site frightened and confused Kelly as she saw the way they looked and how their closed where covered in blood with her mother no where to be seen. They packed up after that, berried their mother with tear filled eyes and hit the road in their fathers Chevrolet, in the attempt to escape whatever the things that had begun to close on the house and had started to appear all around the world.
Describe your character's life after the Apocalypse:
- Kelly and the remains of her family had stayed on the road for a while after that, Her father couldn't bring himself to trust strangers and thus they tended to avoid settlements but after a solid year on the road he had had enough, had enough of fixing the hunk of junk they had been driving in, tired of the daily running. So they strived to find a place to stay, a place to let his girls feel safe again.
They made their way north in search of shelter, in search of a home. They found it after another six months of searching and after a few, less than exciting hardships that left Kelly with a broken arm. A small stronghold near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania where they stayed for about a year. The place wasn't run by military or anything but there were a few people that had gun know how, Once they were settled in Justin Insisted that Kelly learn to defend herself, With the guns he managed to rescue from their house and his skill from his years spent as an Army Ranger he put his sister through a rigorous training program that would last the next year while they began to make a home and friends in the small settlement they had found.
Sadly good times never last though. It was december, The days had grown cold and dark and snow had begun to fall. Kelly didn't mind the weather, especially since it seemed to slow the walkers down. Her daily training had continued but these days it was more keeping lose than it was actually being trained in anything, Her brother had taught her all he could over the time they had been at the safe haven. The day it happened was icy and cold, fresh sleet had fallen that night leaving the area around the encampment slick and slightly difficult to walk on. Kelly had Katey attached at her hip as always when it happened. The sound of engines on the horizon, shouting and screaming at the gate. Kelly's father and brother ran to the gate and told the girls to go to the truck in case they needed to run, Kelly ran into her room and grabbed what little belongings she had, including the weapons that her brother had given her. She tossed them all into the back storage compartment and repeated the process with Katey's things before placing her in the passengers seat and moving to sit in the drivers seat with the keys in the ignition.
The arguing at the gate escalated after that and turned into gunfire, the fence was busted down by a truck with a makeshift battering ram attached to the front very reminiscent to the old dozer blades attached to M4A4's during ww2. Turning over the engine she saw her father and brother running into the woods, away from the settlement as the chaos began to escalate, Walkers now joined in as Kelly simultaneously began to make her way out of the gate with the truck and attempt to sooth a panicked Katey.
They searched for weeks for their father and brother after escaping the hellish scene that had befallen their home and friends, shattering any sense of safety that they may have had they decided to stay on the move and to continue to search for their family as they began to head west.
They stayed on the road for two years after that, searching for their father and brother who had seemed to vanish without a trace, The days seemed to blend together these days, Always trying to survive with just each other to watch their backs was a tiring process. They had made it all the way to Indiana by this point after searching as thoroughly as possible through the area's around the place they used to call home with no luck. The days had grown hot and muggy as the summer sun began to blaze down on the sphere of destruction and chaos that the earth had become.
They made their way through the state aimlessly for the first part of the summer in search of anything useful or familiar but with very little luck, Apart from a decent supply of gas that had been left in a truck yard and a few cans of food the places they visited seemed picked clean by this point and so they continued on, The duo managed to find a decent sized mansion on the outskirts of a town during their travels and for the moment had decided to make this their home, if only for a few days to give themselves the chance to stretch out from the truck that had become their permanent home, they always had one thing on their mind. Where do we go now? Where are the others...?
