Gear: Having stripped his SWAT outfit down to just the blue fatigues, tactical vest, ammo, and various other necessary essentials, Avery kept only his sidearm - Sig Sauer P226 - due to running out of bullets for his rifle. His knife is his main arsenal against the dead. Given how precious bullets are, the sidearm is only used for emergencies. He carries a backpack that contains survival items. Other than food and water, he has a single thermal blanket.

Bio: Growing up in a typical urban family, Avery’s life wasn’t hard by any means. With his father being a lawyer in the prominent city of DC and his mother taking care of him and his sister at home, it was expected that he’d continue on with the family legacy by becoming a lawyer. When he was younger, Avery was all for it. Believing how wonderful it’d be to be a corporate lawyer like his father and earning the big bucks. However, when he got older, he wanted to serve the public in a way that was completely different than what his family envisioned for him. 

Graduating college with a degree in criminology, instead of applying for law school, Avery applied to the police academy. When his father found out, the two had a huge falling out. Refusing to speak to him, Avery accepted the fact that the old man couldn’t see things from his point of view and left it at that. Wanting to prove to his old man that he could be the best in something other than law, Avery aimed to graduate the top of his class. No matter what.

Four years had passed since he graduated from the Academy. Now a proud member on the force of the DC area, Avery made Sergeant. Receiving the distinct honor of serving as one of the members standing guard around the White House area, it was about this time where his father and him reconnected. While their relationship would never officially heal, the beginning steps were made. Reunited with his family after some time, Avery introduced his wife and his son while the second was on the way.

When things seemed like they were headed back towards normalcy, Avery responded to several cases of domestic violence. Coming face to face with one of the suspects, Avery had a feeling this wasn’t some normal DV. It was something far more. Something that his superiors told him to keep a tight seal on.

His fears come through when he was called to a blockade in Baltimore. Tasked with escorting an FBI agent - a Carmen Hollander - he learned through her that there was an investigation going on to uncover the origins of the recent raising of the dead. Still far too taken aback to accept what he’d heard, the blockade fell to the waves of the dead as all the quarantine lines all but absolved.

Though wanting to go after his family, Carmen convinced him otherwise. He knew it’d be a death trap, but he couldn’t leave without knowing. As he made ready to leave, his route was cut off from the undead. At risk of being overtaken, he fled with Carmen. 

No matter how far he ran, he’d find his family again. 

Seven months had passed. He hadn’t forgotten his vow.[/center]
