Casper Gray
Name: Casper Gray
Age: 16 (17 in November)
Nationality: English
Appearance: As you can see from the picture ( that I look like a twat in ) I have triangular blond hair, blue eyes and at the moment a massive spot on my chin. I don't actually know how tall or weighty I am but would say around 5"something and at around 7 stone. I would usually be seen wearing some random, plain t-shirt with jeans or trousers. I usually always wear my thin, purple hoodie when I go out. I prefer bigger shoes like boots over trainers as they are comfortable over long days of walking around. I will nearly ALWAYS have my headphones round my neck or on my ears.
Physicality: Fairly skinny I really have no upper body strength whatsoever. I'm around average speed for my age but am quite good at long distances. I am fairly nimble when it comes to jumping on or off things and have not much problem with heights. I would be pretty useless at using a bashing or cutting weapon, as I lack the strength and skill needed. As for resistance to pain i'd say I'm around average.
Personality: Aloof and quiet, I'm actually rather shy with strangers, speaking in short one word answers, working at the chip shop has gotten some of this shyness out of me, but not all of it... And I still have no idea how to talk to girls (unless they're into video games or anime). When I do get to know someone, and become comfortable talking to them: I morph into someone who just wants to have a laugh, making crude or sadistic jokes, while generally playing the fool rather than getting stuff done. I don't smoke, and drink only in moderation.
I'm into lots of things, most recently making music. I thought that I love listening to it so much I might as well try and make some, I already played the piano a bit so I get the basics (

I spend most of my time playing games, mostly a game called 'league of legends', which is supposedly highly competitive, though me and my friends tend to just run round like idiots annoying our own team. I'm studying graphics at AS level right now, I can draw to a fairly ok-ish standard but always felt that there wasn't too many job opportunities there, graphics on the other hand might do... idk?
Like I say, I love music. Most of which is electronic/EDM, Glitch hop being my favorite genre. Here is one a my favs (

I think I would try my best to get analog with other survivors, doing my be overly polite thing. I don't like to really have enemies.
Lifestyle: I was born in London but at around 4 moved down to rural Devon. This is where I grew up, at this age I didn't have much access to technology as my parents weren't very interested in it (this may explain my addiction now) so spent my time climbing trees and jumping on bales, generally hurting myself.
I found primary school how most kids find it, primary school like, I think all it is is throwing crayons around and scribbling...
Secondary school was where I got my first real friendship group, Up until then I had one or two best friends and that was it. We would have such a laugh, I remember doing things like spending whole science lessons seeing how fast plasticine whales can fly or putting the cafeteria table up on top of a roof segment on the last day. I was changed a lot by secondary school though, I became more inclusive and less annoying. As I gained an awesome friendship group I lost the ability to jump into strangers conversations, I didn't need to be the center of attention anymore.
At that point I became the introvert I am now, I spend most of my time at home working on the various projects I do. Right now i've just started my A levels. I was originally going to take maths and physics, I was rather good at them (Got and A in gcse) but just felt I'd rather follow the art side of myself, and so took graphics and animation. Weather it will pay off I don't know?..
Why I'm here: I was traveling to Chicago as part of a school trip, I had never been to America so was pretty exited, especially considering I would one-day like to live there. Little did I know what was to come. During the out-brake I was separated from my school group in the panic, I didn't know anyone really so I would not really have the incentive to go looking for them. I found my way to a the small outer bar doors by tripping on the curb near them, I figured that it would be a good place to hide, I was glad to see others had done the same.
Skills: I can do most of the basics; cook, sweep, clean, change a light-bulb, ect. I am fairly good with computers, not at hacker level or anything, just I know my way round the things quite well. I'm alright at drawing, and am good at making diagrams. I can play the piano a bit. I'm alright at first aid and construction (I could make a good shelter).
I am bad at spelling and grammer, my handwriting is almost unreadable. I can have good communication skills, but will most time be too shy to use them. I can't drive, fight, carry heavy things, operate a firearm and many other things that would be useful in an apocalypse.
I think I will be relying on the skills of others a lot in this situation.
Possessions: I'm wearing; Blue jeans, black t-shirt, purple hooded shirt, brown leather boots, short black socks and a small side-bag.
I'm carrying; My i-pod touch with a broken screen (only plays music), my headphones, my sketchpad, my cheap Chinese windows tablet, My wallet containing $20 cash, my passport and my credit card which cant be used in America.
