Describe your character's life before the Apocalypse:
Marcus was born on the farm he was raised, where his mother and father lived a good life of the land they owned. As a child he was taught the duties of a farmer, to care for the animals and how to sow crops of wheat. He was always a restless child wanting to be elsewhere, doing other things than what his parents wanted of him; however his father who had been in war was strict on keeping discipline. When he didn`t listen there was hell to pay, although his mother scorned him from being punished at times.
Reaching the age of nine, he was given a little sister, who he came to care and love. She too was taught the same thing as he, but unfortunately for him she was given the opportunity to do the things he liked best, leaving him to do the dirty work which he hated the most. Eventually he found interest in other things, which he pursued once he finished school.
He left to study law in New York, where he became a Crime Scene Investigator. There he met a beautiful woman by the name of Jayne Keir, with whom he had two wonderful children, a boy and a girl, one year apart. Marcus distinguished himself well amongst his colleges, and the enjoyed the city life, which was so different from what he had been used too.
What happened to your character on Outbreak Day?:
As the deadly disease took root in the heart of society, Marcus was visited by his sister and mother the day everything went to hell. Trapped in the streets of Manhatten, New York, they tried to escape the chaos that followed, but failed to get out. His mother got eaten by a herd of undead trying to save a person in need, and his girlfriend, mother to their two children, got shot by a group of thugs.
Describe your character's life after the Apocalypse:
Since the world fell apart, Marcus, his sister and his two children have tried to escape the big city. With the streets crawling with the dead, and the bridges up or blocked, the four of them have made the best out of their situation by barricading themselves high above ground. From time to time went out in search of supplies, which proved a rather easy task considering they were surrounded by plenty of abandoned stores and homes. Yet there always was danger, and when one place turned empty, they had to move further and further away to get more.
