Describe your character's life before the Apocalypse:
-Canway lived as an only child with his single mother Paula in a simple apartment in Denver.
He suffered from no physical defects and his life situation was never really bad, but his mother could never offer him the life that she would have liked to have for him.
He attended a normal school in the city as a student, but he was never able to integrate properly and was sometimes even bullied by his classmates.
The only true friend he found was a boy called Ronnie in his age.
On the outside he spent a lot of time alone, as his mother often worked long hours and developed a great interest in books and the natural sciences.
He completed the first grades with top marks, these were getting worse over time.
At that time nobody knew that he has schizophrenia, there were no sympthomes.
What happened to your character on Outbreak Day?:
-Canway´s mother rescued him from school as the undead triggered panic in the city. They also took Ronnie with them and fled to the edge of town to find Ronnie parents, but they were already dead. When the city was about to become overrun, the three fled south and joined a small group who were traveling to Atlanta.
Describe your character's life after the Apocalypse:
-About five months after the outbreak, Canway and his group found a place called Woodbury. The inhabitants seemed friendly and took them in, but they were lured into a trap. The leader of this community captured Canways group and tortured each of them in front of his eyes for fun. He also tortured Canway, which is why he carries many scars that may never heal completely. He killed his mother and let her fight as a walker in his arena, as he did with all but Ronnie and him.
The two children were driven to their weapons depot in a van to get away from the locals so they would not feel insecure about executing children.
In a car accident the car crashed down a slope. Canway was the only one he had survived, badly injured. He crawled far enough away from the wreck to not be spotted by search patrols from Woodbury before his powers left him and he leaned to a tree and fell asleep becouse of exhaustion.
He woke up in a warm wooden hut, where a man in his fifties introduced himself as Akira.
He helped Canway to process his terrible experiences and prepare for survival over the next two years. Akira also taught him Bōjutsu and became a kind of dad he never had.
The two became a good team over time and survived many hazards, but shortly after Canways fifteenth birthday, they were surprised by bandits who had encircled their camp.There were too many to fight them and they stood too close to each other to flee from them, so Akira sacrificed himselfe to allow Canway to escape. Since then, Canway is on his own, stealing and plundering and keeping himself alive. His newest and largest problem, however, are the voices that awakened in his time at Akira place. Schizophrenia. They get louder. He tries to control them with concentration and discipline, as Akira taught him, but how long will that work,he asks himself? How long does it take them to get louder than his own voice?
