Age:
-34
Gender:
-Male
Appearance:
-Standing at 5'9, Michael isn't an overly tall fellow. Before the apocalypse he would be considered an average looking man, someone that kept himself tidy and was always clean shaven. Now with outbreak hit, Michael tries to keep himself as clean as possible. His once jet black hair is starting to grey on the sides and he can often be seen with a short stubble forming on his face. He is often seen wearing a flannel tucked into a pair of jeans, and still tries to look as fatherly as possible, even if society as we knew it had ended.

List 3 or more good personality traits:
-Captivating: Michael loves to inspire those around him, especially his daughter. He believes that it's important to set good examples to help people try and achieve more than they think possible.
-Caring: Michael is a very caring person, he always looks for the best in people, and is always willing to help them out. He has a very special place in his heart for his wife and daughter, and will try and go the extra mile to make them happy, even over his own needs.
-Gallant: Michael feels that it's important for his daughter to see that he shows respect to his wife, and those around him. He tries to maintain what's left of his humanity and doesn't want his daughter to grow up scarred or forced to grow up quicker than she needs to.
-Humorous: Michael was always known for his humor and the smile he could bring to people's faces. Even though the outbreak has hit, he tries to keep things light at times, hoping to help people from not thinking about the darkness and sadness that's around them all the time.
-Protective: Michael loves his family and close friends more than anything. He will try and protect them at all costs, and wants to be a person that they can look at for guidance.
List 3 or more bad personality traits:
-Moralistic: With the outbreak and end of civilization, many had to abandon their morals or principles in order to survive. Michael so far has held onto his set of principles, believing in what's right and wrong behavior, this is a negative because while he may be honorable, others will see him as weak, a symbol of the way life used to be before the infection.
-Cautious: Michael is very cautious when it comes to making decisions that would affect his family and group. He doesn't want to lead anyone to their death and will often opt out on opportunities to gain supplies if he feels that it may be too risky.
-Hesitant: When it comes to making a life or death choice, Michael is hesitant to pull the trigger or cast someone out. This roots back to him not wanting to make the wrong choice and have his own daughter of family look down on him for his actions.
-Mannered: Michael holds onto many of the pleasantries of the old world. He feels that it's important to follow many of the proper social etiquette norms and to show everyone respect unless they do something to no longer warrant that respect. Some may see him as naive for continuing such silly measures.
-Proud: Michael is proud of his family and his daughter. He will protect them above all else, and will not give up ground or anything if threatened. If he feels that his group has the right to something, then he wont give it up if asked and would fight if it came to it.
List 3 strengths:
-Morale Booster: Michael is able to lift the spirits of those around them. Even when things look grim, just his presence is able to give people some sort of hope.
-Father Figure: Michael is your ideal father figure. He values his own family over himself. Younger group members look up to him and aspire to be like him in the future.
-Family Man: Family is everything, and family is life to Michael. In this world where people choose to live for themselves, Michael is able to inspire a tight family like community.
List 3 flaws:
-Inexperienced: Michael and his family haven't faced some of the challenges that other groups have had to face. He has yet to run into others trying to cause harm.
-Too Trusting: Michael is always looking to see the best in people. He will often trust people, not around his daughter or wife, but he will accept them into his group without too much questioning. This can be a bad thing because some people have sinister motives.
-Family First: Michael values his family over himself and often puts himself in dangerous situations to save to keep them from harm.
Describe your character's life before the Apocalypse:
-Michael was an average man. He had a good job as a sales manager for a local small business. He and his family lived in a small Midwest town called Minster, Ohio. His wife was a high school teacher at the local school district. Their only child, Samantha was a charming young kid that loved her family, and all of their neighbors would say that the Jennings family was extremely close--and could often be seen going out for weekend camping trips in their RV.
What happened to your character on Outbreak Day?:
-With the school district being put on shutdown, Michael and his family decided to stay inside for a while. They noticed that quite a few people were getting sick and national alerts were breaking out throughout the country. They weren't too sure what was actually happening, and believed the whole thing to be some new flu virus that was sweeping the country--and that after a week everything would go back to normal.
But, things didn't get better, and people started coming back from the dead. Once things in town got bad enough Michael and his wife decided to pack their bags into the RV and head to her parent's house a couple towns down. When arriving, Michael and his wife entered the house to find that her parents, the devout religious type, had committed suicide--they never told their daughter. With no where to go they got back into the RV and tried to return home.
Describe your character's life after the Apocalypse:
-With most towns over run, Michael and his family have been traveling throughout the Southwestern part of Ohio, scavenging for food and teaching their daughter for the past two years. They're waiting for the world to go back to normal, but have begun to realize that it would be up to them to make the world what it once was. Michael has now decided that he needs to find a safe place for he and his family to stay, and be able to rebuild their lives.
