Age:
-21
Gender:
-Male
Appearance:
- Ryder stands at 5’11 with dirty blonde hair that often in disarray. He sports rugged facial hair, though on occasion he is clean shaven if he happens to get his hand on a razor. His eyes are a crystal blue that look almost colorless in certain lighting. His body is muscular from his love of weight lifting.
Occupation (studies and job before the outbreak):
- Ryder was a college student away from home, though he spent a good bit of his time partying and hadn’t yet declared a major.
Hometown (city, state, country):
-Oviedo, FL
Relationships (relatives, friends,...):
-His best friend and classmate, Eliana, was with him on outbreak day. They have been traveling together since the outbreak began.
-Ryder is unsure if his mother is still alive though he has started finding notes from his Uncle. He hopes that his Uncle is still alive since he has no clue just how recent these little notes are.
Weapons (currently in possession):
-One large crowbar Ryder found in the trunk of an abandoned truck.
-One 8 inch chef’s knife (taken from school kitchens)
-One sharpening knife block (also stolen from kitchens)
Items (clothing, backpacks, first-aid kits, etc...):
-One backpack containing a hoodie, a pair of stained, frayed cargo shorts, two tattered old tee shirts, a sports bottle for water, large tub of protein powder (for sustenance in place of food if food can’t be found)
-He is wearing a pair of jeans stained with dirt and covered in random holes from wear, a black tee shirt that is ripped in the collar making it appear to be a v-neck tee shirt, old high top converse sneakers, and a UCF (University of Central Florida) baseball cap.
-Two small first-aid kits found in random vehicles.
Mode of transportation:
-On foot.
List 3 or more good personality traits:
-Frank (He doesn’t mince words. If he doesn’t like a person, they know)
-Loyal (If someone earns his loyalty he will not waver)
-Practical (He likes to think of himself as an amateur MacGyver)
List 3 or more bad personality traits:
-Cutthroat (This is to anyone he doesn’t trust)
-Impulsive (He goes off of instincts which sometimes is wrong and screws things up)
-Stubborn (Once an idea is in his head or he feels a certain way about something it is almost impossible to change his mind)
List 3 strengths:
-Strong (Years of weightlifting have given him above average strength)
-Close distance accuracy. (He played baseball for all of his High School career making it simple for him to take out walkers with his crowbar)
-Stamina. (Mostly gained from his training weightlifting)
List 3 flaws:
- Allergies (Spring is a disaster for him)
-Lacking stealth (He is not graceful in the slightest or able to sneak around most of the time)
-His knee aches and stiffens on occasion due to a car accident he had when he was 17.
Describe your character's life before the Apocalypse:
- Ryder was born and raised in a suburb of Orlando named Oviendo. As a child he had a great childhood, or at least he thought. His mother and father often took him to the beach and fairs, all the while they seemed to have a good healthy relationship and very much in love. He was always treated well and his father was very present in his life during that period. Everything seemed perfect until shortly after his 12th birthday. His father was out on a business trip, which seemed like he had one every couple of weeks. He had just come into the house after a game of catch with a few of his neighborhood friends to find his mother crying in the kitchen. Only a few moments later his father pulled into the driveway, walking right past him and into his parents’ room, and began tossing things into a large suitcase. Ryder glanced out the window to see a familiar woman sitting in the passenger seat. It was a woman he had always looked towards as an aunt even though she was only in her early 20’s. It wasn’t until after his father left without a single word to him that he realized that his father had left his mother for the other woman. He never heard from him again.
Ryder’s uncle, Dexter, had seemed to take over in his father’s place trying to be that father figure he would need. He grew very attached to his uncle, but still managed to get himself in trouble (though none that would land him in jail). He often partied and was very promiscuous for awhile. He mellowed out a good bit and went off to university after graduating high school. By some miracle he had managed to keep his grades up enough to get in. Before outbreak day he was just an average college student doing his own thing and enjoying the freedom it gave him.
What happened to your character on Outbreak Day?:
-Ryder was in his dorm with his best friend studying for a big test they had the following day. There had been rumors that something serious was going on, but he had yet to see it firsthand. He wasn’t even sure he believed it until that day. He had heard a commotion going on in the hallway though he thought nothing of it. It wasn’t uncommon for the guys to get rowdy and be obnoxious. Within moments his roommate came flying into the door panting, covered in blood. He couldn’t understand a word the guy was saying though he immediately felt panicked as he opened the door to see complete chaos unfolding. The moment he saw, what looked like a corpse, sinking it’s teeth into another classmate his survival instincts kicked. He’s still not entirely sure how the hell they did it but they managed to get to the commons and lock themselves in a storage closet. They stayed in there for the night listening to the screams and devastation until, by some miracle, the morning came and the walkers had moved on allowing them to escape fully.
Describe your character's life after the Apocalypse:
- Since the Apocalypse Ryder has been on the search for his mother and uncle. They had yet to find a camp that was willing to take he and his best friend in as they didn’t see them as being useful, he assumed. There were a couple of camps that let them stay for an evening but never permanent, though his best friend never wanted to stay in one place too long. After finding the police station his uncle worked in destroyed, as well as his home he had almost lost hope until he started seeing random notes on a main road many survivors had traveled. Now he is determined to find him and prays that his mother is there as well.
