Full Name:
Yameki Nakamura

Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Yameki is a Japanese boy in his early twenties. He is lithe and streamlined, and stands at a lanky 6'2''. He has a pale complexion and brown eyes, though he switches between green contacts and black-rimmed glasses. His hair is straight and choppy at certain layers, dyed a platinum blonde with streaks of pink throughout in seemingly random places. His natural hair is a dark brown, almost black, once it begins to grow back at the roots. He has a lip ring, an earring, and an eyebrow piercing. Currently, he wears torn jeans and a dirtied white shirt. It's difficult to discern the blood and dirt from the design emblazoned on the front.
Occupation (studies and job before the outbreak):
Before the outbreak, Yameki was a Japanese exchange student at the University of South Florida. He worked as a tutor to the Japanese language students preparing for their own study abroad in exchange for help with his English. He also played in a small band with his friends. Back in Japan, he worked in a record shop to support his musical efforts with his actual band.
Hometown (city, state, country):
Ebina, Kanagawa, Japan (though in the last few years before studying abroad, he lived in Hirakata, Osaka, Japan)
Relationships (relatives, friends,...):
Because of the nature of his schooling, Yameki, unfortunately, has no idea about the fate of those he holds dear. He was unable to make contact with any of his friends or family back in Japan, and is unsure of if they are alive, dead, or even if the apocalypse has touched the country.
As for the state of his current friendships, Yameki is alone. He lost all of his friends when the apocalypse struck, and has been struggling along ever since. For a brief period of time, he traveled with his band mates, Evan, Jimmy, and Damon.
Weapons (currently in possession):
3 knives of varying size, with protective sheathes (a set he bought when he first arrived in America for cooking)
A pistol, found off of a fallen officer (partially loaded and unused)
A partially bent pipe, found in the rubble
Items (clothing, backpacks, first-aid kits, etc...):
A backpack from his old school, holding a few packaged foods, a bottle or two of water, a notebook and pencil, a pen, and a dictionary (both paperback and electronic)
Batteries
A flashlight
A sticker-decorated guitar case and a blood-stained guitar
A dead cell phone
A basic first aid kit from when he first arrived in America
A Purikura (Japanese self-photoshopped photo booth picture is the best way to describe it) of his friends back home
A picture of him and his band mates from America
A candid photo of himself and Jimmy
Mode of transportation:
Foot
List 3 or more good personality traits:
Loyal
Resilient
Kind-natured
Resourceful
List 3 or more bad personality traits:
Easily startled
Naive
Trusting
Kind-natured (I know I put it twice, it plays against him depending on the situation)
List 3 strengths:
Lucky (an accidental survivor to the point where it's almost comical)
Flexible
Quick on his feet (in both ways)
List 3 flaws:
Isn't fully fluent in verbal or written English
Lack of gun prowess
Doesn't know how to drive (not properly, anyway)
Describe your character's life before the Apocalypse:
Yameki was born in Ebina, in the Kanagawa region of Japan, and he grew up there for the bulk of his life. For college, he moved to Hirakata, in Osaka, Japan to attend Kansai Gaidai University. He was accepted to a year-long study abroad program at the University of South Florida, and was just beginning his second semester when the apocalypse broke out.
What happened to your character on Outbreak Day?:
Yameki and his band were performing at a concert for the school held by the music club on the day of the outbreak. An infected person wandered in the auditorium in a sick haze, and went unnoticed in the pushing and shoving of a mosh pit. When they died and collapsed, they were only noticed by Yameki, the guitarist, who was crowd surfing. He tried to alert the other band members of the person, but was relieved when they got up. However, they lunged and attacked one of the main people holding him up, and he fell onto his back and into the panicked crowd, watching from the bottom as the person was eaten alive. He only survived because Jimmy, the bassist, rushed to the side of the stage and scooped him up and away from the panic and danger of the crowd.
Together, the band escaped in Evan's car, and headed north.
Describe your character's life after the Apocalypse:
The closer upstate the group got, however, the more trouble they encountered, and the more people they lost. By the time Yameki arrived in Illinois and stumbled across Jordan, he no longer had the vehicle, and he was travelling alone. Currently, they are travelling together.
