Age:
- 30
Gender:
- Male
Appearance:
- 6'4, tan, with a slightly muscular build. Years of working with heavy lifting, and building have given him a neccesary rough edge. Hes strong, his hands calloused, and he has for years now sported old scars that give him a general survivor feel. He has let his hair grow out, including his facial hair which is something he had never done before. He often dresses simplistically, in what he likes to call "borrowed clothes" that hes scavenged from various places (including from fresh corpses.)
Occupation (studies and job before the outbreak):
- Formerly worked in a factory producing parts for Airplanes, his job was in the shipping department. He had been at this job since he was a teenager (17+), having spent his summers working there as well for a summer work program that ran for the families of the employees.
- Though he graduated highschool he did not pursue College, since he already had a stable job at the factory and did not think he needed any extra schooling.
Hometown (city, state, country):
- Denver, Colorado
Relationships (relatives, friends,...):
{Family}
-
Luca Pelosi || Half-Sister (Younger) and Partner In Crime, currently alive and with him. They have been thick as thieves since childhood and continued to be so well into adulthood. The apocalypse seemed to strengthen their relationship as the two of them lost family and friends alike to the dead.
-
Kara Alan, née Pelosi || Half-Sister (Older) no longer living. Despite her best efforts and the help of her family she was the first of the Pelosi family to die. Being deaf had a huge impact on her survival odds, as she did not noticed the danger until it was too late. She was eaten alive by the dead.
-
Gian Pelosi || Father, lived for a year and three months into the apocalypse, but had unfortunately gone insane after loosing his wife and oldest child. He would often have episodes of increased paranoia, anxiety, and depression that eventually led him to take his own life.
-
Marta Pelosi, née Rosales || The Mother of both Luca and Kara, she has always had a horrible relationship with Matteo. She is rumored to have died a few months into the apocalypse, less than a few weeks after Kara. After their tiny group was targeted by a much larger and murderous group. She and a handful of others in the group were murdered or taken. She was among one of the ones taken, but it is unknown whether she survived or died.
- Brandy Nelson || In his former group, and had been very "close" with Matteo. Her current status as living or dead is unknown as she disappeared one day without a word. She was the one who had taught the group the most important things about survival, including how to use guns and other weapons. She was the one holding the group together, until she disappeared that is.
Weapons (currently in possession):
- Modified Fire Ax || Scavenged from his hometown school in the early days, its in pretty bad shape now but the added modifications (Grips on the handle) have made it his go-to weapon for quite a while when it comes to close quarters. Though its a little heavy at times he has little problem hefting it around.
- S&W Model 10 || A gift from a fellow survivor in their group (Brandy Nelson), he picked out the gun for himself from the cache that she had hidden in her basement. Though he knew nearly nothing about guns at the time she taught him how to use it, among many other things.
- Bowie Knife || Used quite a bit more than any of his other weapons.
Items (clothing, backpacks, first-aid kits, etc...):
Utility Camping/Hiking Backpack
- Extra Clothes || 2 Sets of shirts, socks, undergarments, and pants.
- Favorite Book || Fahrenheit 451, he keeps it hidden beneath his clothes so that it doesn't get too damaged.
- Plastic Wrap and Aluminum Foil Packs
- Zip Ties
- Multi-Tool
Mode of transportation:
- His own feet.
List 3 or more good personality traits:
- Team Player | He works well in a group setting, as well as alone though he prefers being around others.
- Humorous | He likes to lighten the mood when things get too dark, however he can be a bit tactless at times because of this.
- Cheerful | There isn't much that can get him in a sad state of mind, so he is usually a pretty great guy to be around when you need a pick me up.
List 3 or more bad personality traits:
- Sarcastic | When hes feeling personally attacked (or is too nervous) he bends his humor into sarcasm, as a defense mechanism. Though he often uses it with his sister as well on a normal basis.
- Forgetful | Unfortunantly he is often in too much of a rush, and forgets things rather easily. So far it hasn't gotten him killed, but as he is constantly reminded there will probably be a day that his forgetfulness does indeed get him killed.
- Immature | He never really grew up, despite surviving, working, and being an adult for so long he still has a childish side to him that comes out at random times. Usually it comes out alongside his sarcasm, or when he gets too comfortable with someone he often slips into childish mannerisms.
List 3 strengths:
- Loyal | He is someone to put your trust in, despite his faults. If he decides to stick with you it will be until the end.
- Hard Working | He knows what he has to do to survive, and that's put in as much hard work as he can. He may complain, but he doesn't let anything slow him down.
- Fire Arms Training | A gift from Brandy, she taught him this and many other things that he needed to know in order to protect himself.
List 3 flaws:
- Submissive/Follower | He isn't a leader, he never will be a leader as much as he might try and take the reigns he isn't someone who can stand up for himself or anybody else. He just waits, and watches other people do it for him.
- Gullible | Something his sister teases him about often. He is easy to trick, and believes in things far to quickly. His lack of knowledge regarding the world often contributes to this.
- Unintelligent | While he isn't rock bottom stupid, he doesn't have a high level of education. In fact while he did graduate high school it was with low grades. Just enough to skate him by. He never pursued any higher education and thus isn't all that smart.
Describe your character's life before the Apocalypse:
He was born the product of an affair, a bastard child as his step-mother would always say. He didn't live with his father for the first few years of his life, until his mother found herself a new older man to attach to and left him behind. Of course he grew up resenting her, and resenting Marta, his step-mother who had no love for him. His only friend in his family being his little sister Luca, whom attached to Matteo early on.
They grew up together, went to the same schools, and made trouble wherever they went. And they continued to be thick as thieves well into adulthood. Because he was more focused on his social life in highschool he barely skated by with C's in his classes. Eventually going on to work in a factory with his father. As an adult he worked most of his days away for a meager paycheck, and went home most nights to an empty home. He saw his family rarely as an adult, but still kept in touch with them when he could. Though their strained relationship always had him mostly staying away from anyone besides his sisters.
What happened to your character on Outbreak Day?:
What should have been any other regular work day for Matteo ended up being a nightmare. He had been at the factory when it started. Because they worked eight hour shifts, with no contact with anyone outside of work for the majority of that time there was little in way of a warning for anyone still inside the plant when the dead began walking. They wouldn't have known, had the factory not suddenly become a battlefield the second people began invading the building to try and escape the oncoming dead. The resulting commotion had most of the factory in a panic, with people hitting the deck as bullets began flying.
Matteo recognizing the situation as far out of his control made a run for it, exiting through the loading zone doors and out into the busy streets. It seemed as if the entire city block was experiencing the same craziness. The streets were clogged with cars, some of them left empty as their occupants decided to just run. Matteo decided to ditch his car, running around to the side of the factory towards another fenced in building just on the other side.
From there he took off as fast as he could towards his house, where he proceeded to try and figure out what the hell was going on. The news though informative gave him little knowledge in the way of what exactly to do. They recommended locking up and staying in doors, but Matteo couldn't do that. Not while his family was out there probably facing the same thing. He packed a bag, only things he knew he would need and headed over to his oldest sisters house.
Finding the place deserted he tried his younger sisters place. Luca greeted him happily at the door, ushering him into the small basement where his older sister was already waiting. He was informed that their parents hadn't made it there yet, but they had talked on the phone before the lines went busy. They tried to lay low for a while but when the raiding started happening they were forced from their home, out into the streets where they tried to scavenge whatever they could from the broken into shops and homes. He lead the way to their parents house, where they took shelter for the night.
And in the morning they set off, catching a ride with a military caravan, hoping that they would be led to safety.
Describe your character's life after the Apocalypse:
The Pelosi family did their best to survive the apocalypse. They had found themselves travelling alongside a large military based group for a while. As they tried to make their way to the base. This is where Matteo met Brandy Nelson, a soldier who taught the civilians in the group how to use a gun and fight. She and Matteo had grown close over the span of a few weeks. But their closeness did not last long when their group was attacked by another. In the commotion Brandy along with several other members of the group disappeared. Among those who disappeared also being Marta Pelosi.
After the attack their group began to fall apart, slowly at first until it was only Matteo, his sister, and father left. They continued on their journey, never settling anywhere for long. Scavenging what they could along the way. But they were a damaged little group, and it wasn't long before things turned from bad to worse. Matteos father committed suicide, leading Matteo and Luca to be the only surviving members of their family.
But the two of them continued on, fighting through thick and thin to survive in this new, crazy world.
