Describe your character's life before the Apocalypse:
Raphael was conceived in a motel in Spain. His parents where both drug addicts. His father was from the UK and his mother was born in Spain. They where a weird couple and had a lot of trouble, cause they had debts with many people, including some in the drug sector. Isabel who was Raph his mother had almost no family left, only her sister Elena. She tried to keep Isabel away from the drugs the best she could. Especially when she found out Isabel was pregnant. When that happened she took both Brian the father of Raphael and Isabel in so she could keep an eye on them. She was a very good person. Things went ok, it wasn’t always easy but it worked out and 9 month later they were both clear of drugs and Raphael was born into a happy family. He was a beautiful child, he had the black hair from his mother, but the pale skin from his father. Brian and Isabel both got a job and the whole family moved to a bigger house in the UK, partly to keep both Isabel and Brian away from their bad friends, but also party because they needed to move anyway and Brian missed him homeland. Elena had a child too Henry he was 2 years older than Raphael. They all decided to speak English to them, since the lived in the UK now, they would teach them some Spanish too, but mainly English. But they never reached the happily ever after part. When Raphael turned 8 he was doing great at school and he had everything he needed. But Brian found an old friend, who pulled him on the dark pad again and without anyone knowing he started drugs again. He stopped paying bills and used all the money for his addiction. But it didn’t stop there, he needed his drugs so he made once more depts, with bad people. Isabel, Elena and Brian had one bank account and Brian would take care of the financial part, since he was an accountant everybody trusted him. But that changed when Isabel found all the unpaid bills, she asked her sister once more for help. When Brian came home that day the confronted him at first he was being aggressive, but later he confessed. Elena once more did her best to keep him off the drugs but it failed and he would lie to everyone all over again. But his debts where building up and he already was starting to get threatened by the big boys who sold him the drugs, he would either have to pay or they would ‘take care’ of him. Another year of threats passed, in that year Brian had a lot of ‘accidents’ as he couldn’t pay off his debts. Until this one day everything went wrong. Raphael was playing with his cousin Henry as the doorbell rang. It was Elena who opened the door. Two shots were fired and Elena fell on the floor, Henry and Raphael saw everything from upstairs. Blood splashed on the walls. Henry rushed over to his mother as Raphael crawled into a corner watching the dead body still form upstairs. Two masked men entered the house, one of them slit Henrys throat, leaving the little kid to die on the body of his dead mother. Raphael was terrified the masked men both searched the ground floor, Raphael quickly made his way to his own room and rushed under his bed. Tears ran down his face as he knew his own parents were still downstairs. He heard his father yelling to stop followed by another two gunshots and another female scream, which would be his mother. Raphael stayed under his bed for about an hour, shaking and crying. Then he softly crawled out from under his bed. He walked out of the room and made his way downstairs. The front door was closed and he once more saw the dead body of his cousin and aunt. He made his way to the living room and he froze as he saw his father laying on the floor with his back facing up, Raphael saw a shot in the back of his head and in his back. Raphael rushed to his side. Crying and asking his dad to wake up, but nothing happened. Then he quickly stood up and hoped his mother was still there, but when he made his way to the kitchen he found her, her throat was slit and different from his dad he could see her face, which frightened him. Her eyes where telling how terrified she was when she died and it was as if they were staring at him. He looked at her a once more cried. They lived in a house with no neighbors in the close distance so no one heard the gunshot, so there was still no police. Raphael was the one to call the cops, they couldn’t understand him very well cause from the shock he couldn’t explain what happened and he was still crying. But the police came over and took care of him. He had to explain what happened a lot and he just missed his family and wanted all the questions to stop. He also had to talk to a psychiatrist to deal with the trauma. But nothing helped Raphael was inconsolable. Few days after he was send to a new family, maybe that would help him, they hoped that all he needed was some love. The new family was great and Raphael slowly started to become the old boy he was. Still sad about his loss, but happy with the new love he felt. It was a big shock for such a young child. But he also kept going to the psychiatrist. He grew up looking more like his father, the only thing he had from his mother was the black hair. When he turned 21, he had his own job and was saving up to rent an apartment so he could start his own life, he even learned how to drive and got a car from his foster parents. He also stopped seeing the psychiatrist when he turned 18 so for two years now he was doing good. He loved his new parents and everything was fine. But this one day he went over to a mall and was just shopping 5 masked men rushed in with guns, sort of a robbery. The image of those men caused Raphael to feel terrified all over he saw flashes of the dead bodies and everything that happened that day. He dropped on the floor and crawled against a rack holding his knees, shaking. The men quickly left when they got the money and fired some shots in the air as they left, which caused Raphael to sink even deeper. He sat there for half an hour until the cops arrived, they found him asked him what happened and told him he could go home, when he didn’t react they offered to bring him home, and Raphael agreed. But that day something broke inside Raphael. He got home, his parents were worried, cause they heard what happened from the cops who brought Raphael home. But he went straight to his bed saying he was ok, but he wasn’t…. That night he had hallucinations, he heard the screams of his parents. At one point he even saw his mother with her slit open throat standing next to him telling Raphael these new parents didn’t love him. From that day things went from bad to worse. Raphael stayed in his bed the whole day seeing and hearing things, not wanted to go to his work. Every now and then he yelled asking the voices and sounds to go away. His new parents were worried, but he locked his door so they couldn’t get in. They left some food and water at his door everyday and they hoped he would eat, which he did or he would die. After two weeks of living like this Raphael was starting to go crazy, he even talked to his dead mother now. The one moment he was crying in his bed the other moment he was throwing with things ect…. His foster parents made an appointment with the psychiatrist, but Raphael refused to go. When they left his door his mother once more appeared for him telling him how she was right that they wanted to lock him up and that he couldn’t let that happen. Raphael nodded and walked to his door, but with his eyes wide open as if he was a brainless person. Then he headed downstairs, to the kitchen, he took a knife and walked to the living room where both his new parents were watching television. At first they were happy to see him, but then he just stabbed the knife in his mothers neck. His new father was shocked got up and got into a fight with him, but he lost the struggle and got stabbed twice in the stomach. Raphael dropped the knife crawled once more in a corner and cried. The neighbors who heard the screams and fighting called the police. That day Raphael was arrested for double murder and was send to a mental institution, in court they all read his file and decided that sending him there was the best solution. It was a well guarded facility though. Years passed and when he turned 25 they moved him to a facility in the United States hoping that the doctors there could do more for him, since the doctors from the closed institute in the UK couldn’t help him. But no one could ‘fix’ Raphael, he was now 30 and still he saw and heard things.
What happened to your character on Outbreak Day?:
Raphael was still stuck in the institution when shit hit the fan. It didn’t take long for all the personal to flee from the institution. This one doctor that worked there wanted to give the ‘crazy’ people a chance, so before he left he opened all their rooms. They were all electronically closed, and with one push on the emergency button the opened up. Raphael didn’t know what happened but he wanted to get out. First thing he did was searched ha weapon, he found a butcher knife in the kitchen. His mother was as a lot of times by his side, telling him to kill all the other people that where trying to escape telling him they were bad. So as Raphael made his way outside he killed some other escapers, which caused the hallucination to go away. He didn’t care who lived or who died, he only wanted to keep himself safe. On his way out he walked over to where they kept the clothes, there he found a backpack and grabbed some spare clothes, there was even a nice black suit. he got changed too leaving the sort of blue uniform with blood from the people he killed behind him. His next stop was the room where they kept the pills. At this point he had no clue what was going on, but he figured he could always use some medicines and bandages. After that he made his way out. When he finally reached the outside he couldn’t believe his own eyes, he saw people eating each other. A guard that made sure no one broke out the facility was laying against a wall, waving him over. Raphael walked over to him, seems like he was bitten in neck and he was slowly dying. He grabbed Raphael his arm telling him the only way to kill the things was to hit the head. Shortly after he died, Raphael cursed since he still had question, what did he mean by things for example. He then noticed the guy was carrying two Uzi’s. Raphael grabbed them, it was one with silencer and one without, he put them in his backpack. Then he left on foot and tried to get as far away from the institute as possible. On his way he found out that it where actual zombies and they could talk too, well according to him. Which caused him to get in a couple dangerous situations.
Describe your character's life after the Apocalypse:
Raphael is trying to survive in his own strange way. He did his best to find food and water. He as lucky cause for now he had some canned food left and some bottles water but that was it. He still hadn’t found a car either. He did find a hammer which he could use as second weapon and he even found some ammo for his Uzis in the weapon store. But he kept those in his backpack.
