He is distrustful of most people, having doubts about the loyalty of even his closest friends. Despite this, he would never betray anyone who trusts him. He is loyal and headstrong, however this also makes him sensitive and easily embarrassed. When upset, he shuts down and refuses to speak, not wanting to seem weak in front of others. He prizes his maturity above all else, and would be humiliated if he were ever treated like the child he is. This aspect of his personality seems to have intensified over the past six months or so, to the point where his fear of being looked down upon has begun to border on becoming a phobia. Ciel rarely smiles and never laughs unless drunk or otherwise out of his right mind. His rare smiles usually come in the form of curt little smirks, usually prompted by people who amuse his dry sense of humor. Ciel also enjoys riddles, logic puzzles and mind games. Despite mentally and logically functioning at the same level as any adult, in truth Ciel is weak and sickly. He’s lived a life of relative comfort and is dependent on others for basic survival needs. If left on his own, he would likely die within a fortnight. He knows this and because of it he tries his best not to get on anyone’s bad side. Someone as weak and dependent as him must be equally amicable and useful in order to survive. [b][color=DodgerBlue]Habits:[/color][/b] He talks in his sleep, bites his knuckles and nails when nervous, paces when thinking deeply and ties his shoelaces with triple knotted bows.

A plain white t shirt that fits him perfectly and is in surprisingly mint condition. A pair of dark grey jeans that are a bit long and are held up with a black leather belt. One white sock and one grey-and-black striped sock. And finally, a pair of ratty and worn out red sneakers, two sizes too small.

Wandering through the forest, starving and alone, he was ambushed by a group of two walkers. They were both relatively weak and old, so he was able to pick them off with his rifle after climbing up a tree to escape being bitten or scratched by the undead fiends. He had known about their presence before he ever saw one, so he wasn’t as frightened as he would have been otherwise, but the situation cemented in him the idea of just how much danger he was really in. [b][color=DodgerBlue]History Before Outbreak:[/color][/b] Ciel was born the only son to a rich politician and his trophy wife. His parents adored him right from the start, and he led a pampered lifestyle. Anything he needed or wanted was provided as soon as he but asked. Being a somewhat weak and sickly little boy, his medical needs were painstakingly attended to by the best doctors available. There was only one problem he saw in his life, and that was that he had little to no contact with the world outside his home. He never made a single friend, he never had the valuable solo experiences that other children had, and most of all he was never exposed to foreign pathogens and as such his asthma and allergies only worsened instead of improving. By the time he was six years old, he desperately hungered for a life of adventure. He never even went to school with other children; his parents homeschooled him and provided tutors at home. The good thing about this is that his individualized education meant that he could work at his own pace, and he quickly excelled at all the work his tutors could give him. His parents, who had both been good students themselves, were ever so proud to see their son grow to be so scholastically advanced. A specialty of Ciel's was always drawing, and he loved making maps of his parent's estate, the only world he knew. Then the walkers came. His parents initially barricaded themselves in their mansion, but one of Ciel’s doctors became a walker, somehow broke into the heavily guarded estate, and killed them both in their beds. Ciel heard scratching and tearing sounds coming from his parent’s room, and fearing the worst he escaped through his bedroom window, taking only his father’s rifle. [b][color=DodgerBlue]History Since Outbreak:[/color][/b] After the deaths of his parents, Ciel escaped to the woods and started to journey his way across the landscape, trying to get as far away from the outbreak as possible. It quickly settled in just how much he was unprepared for life on his own. He seemed to be allergic to almost everything, his asthma being terribly bad for the first few days. He had no idea how to find food or make shelter, eating only the raw animals he shot and getting very sick from them. He surely would have died if he hadn't found his first companion on his fifth day alone. Charles Greywater was a stocky, bearded man, fond of flannel shirts and armed with a crossbow. He found little Ciel starving and ill in the woods, and nursed the boy back to health, taking him in as a sort of apprentice. He taught Ciel how to properly use the rifle he had, and even taught him a few crossbow tricks. Ciel learned to make a fire with flint, and how to gut and cook animals so he wouldn't have to subsist off of raw meat like he had been. It was with Charles that Ciel committed his first murder. They came across a woman on their travels, one who was trying to raid their shelter. Charles woke Ciel, handed him his rifle and told the boy to shoot. Ciel shot the woman dead, and the two ate her corpse and used her clothes and supplies. Ciel was of course more than slightly troubled by this at first, but quickly became accustomed to his own immorality. Then one sunny July afternoon, the two of them were attacked by a lone walker. This one was stronger than the two Ciel had encountered before, and killed Charles while he tried to protect Ciel. Ciel was forced to shoot them both, but he missed the walker and made a narrow escape by jumping into a river and swimming downstream away from the monster, who could not maneuver itself so easily in water. Ciel was once again on his own, but this time a bit more prepared. One week passed, then two. Today is Ciel's fifteenth day of being alone. He hasn't had much luck in finding food and is slowly fading again. He's learned by now that he doesn't do well solo, and has learned it the hard way. He's narrowly survived a few more walker attacks, which seem to be getting more and more frequent as if he were approaching some sort of colony of the creatures, like an abandoned town or something. If he doesn't find help soon, his little adventure may soon come to an untimely end.

He doesn't seem to like anyone."[/i] Ashton doesn't really have a lot of time available to socialize, and Ciel thinks it far better to stay out of the Captain's way as much as possible. [hr] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [color=B22222][b]James Mandingo Grady[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [i]"To be honest, I'm still not sure what his full name is. We don't talk much."[/i] James has a job to do and not a lot of time to interact with students. On top of this, Ciel rarely takes the initiative to interact with people who don't actively seek him out. As such, they don't see much of each other. [hr] [color=orange]✿[/color] [color=cyan][b]Kristina Smith[/b][/color] [color=orange]✿[/color] [i]"I kind of like her. We seem to understand each other, you know?"[/i] Despite being 8 years Ciel's senior, Kristina is the closest in age to Ciel. However, Ciel mostly still treats her as one of the adults, as that's easier for him. He's basically never known anyone his own age, and wouldn't know how to treat a peer. In general, Ciel likes Kris. They get along fairly well, at least. Kris seems to understand that Ciel dislikes being talked down to, and as such Ciel feels more respected by her. [hr] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [color=tomato][b]Richard Johnson[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [i]"He really keeps to himself. We don't talk much."[/i] Richard was hit hard by the deaths on the trip to Newnan, and so he hasn't really been socializing with the new kid. Ciel honestly doesn't mind, and thinks it best if he doesn't bother him while he grieves his friends. [hr] ⚜[color=orange]✿[/color] [color=khaki][b]Victor Bonheur[/b][/color] ⚜[color=orange]✿[/color] [i]"He's really cool. I have no other words."[/i] Ciel is a bit starstruck by Froggy, to be honest. As Newnan's medical lead, he played a large role in making sure Ciel didn't expire from starvation. He would be very quick to help out the doctor, should he ever require it. [hr] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [color=a187be][b]Tatiana Korvo[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [i]"She's the Russian lady getting married to Jack, right? She seems nice enough."[/i] Tatiana isn't someone Ciel sees around much, and most of what he's heard about her has come from Jack. As such, he's heard only good things about her and does his best to be nice to her when she they do happen across each other. [hr] [color=orange]✿[/color][color=ed145b]❦[/color] [color=peru][b]Agnes Brynja Johannsson[/b][/color] [color=orange]✿[/color][color=ed145b]❦[/color] [i]"I'm not sure what I'd do without her. We understand each other very well."[/i] Agnes, much like Jack, was someone Ciel initially wasn't too sure about. However, as he recovered and needed less help, he started being able to see her kindness for what it was. She's kind of become a parent figure to him, over the last few months. [hr] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [color=fff200][b]Neisha Burkstein[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [i]"I know her okay. She seems pretty sharp."[/i] Ciel can easily relate to Neisha's eagerness to help out. The two of them have several interests in common, and Neisha has generally been kind to Ciel through these past few months. Though they don't often see much of each other, they're on friendly terms. [hr] ⚜[color=orange]✿[/color] [color=lightblue][b]Raymond Mendoza[/b][/color] [color=orange]✿[/color]⚜ [i]"It takes a lot of guts and skill to survive out here with just one leg. Besides, he seems pretty cool..."[/i] Having both survived the disastrous trek from Franklin to Newnan, Ciel and Ray had plenty of time to get to know each other in the infirmary. So far, they seem to get along fairly well. Ciel is quiet by nature, so they don't often end up in conversation with each other, but Ciel has a lot of respect for Ray after watching him pull through such a perilous trip all while bleeding out. If Ray ever needed a favor from Ciel, Ciel would be happy to assist. [hr] [color=ed145b]❦[/color][color=orange]✿[/color]⚜ [color=00ff00][b]Jack Hudson[/b][/color] [color=ed145b]❦[/color][color=orange]✿[/color]⚜ [i]"I really wish I could do more for Jack, really. He's got a good heart."[/i] Jack is really like a father to Ciel. While Ciel was initially uncomfortable with being treated like a child (regardless of the fact that he is one), he eventually warmed up to the idea of having someone willing to look out for him. [hr] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [color=fff79a][b]Ryan O'Reily[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [i]"I won't lie, he makes me a little nervous."[/i] Never before in his life has Ciel been in such close quarters with a criminal. Although Ryan helps him out quite a bit and he tries to reciprocate as much as he can, he can't help but feel a bit on edge not knowing what it is exactly that Ryan did. [hr] [color=orange]✿[/color] [color=D9E0F9][b]Tiffany Lyle[/b][/color] [color=orange]✿[/color] [i]"I like her a lot, actually. She's very genuine."[/i] Tiffany stayed with Ciel through the trip to Newnan, and has gone out of her way to ensure that he and Ray made it through. Ciel greatly appreciates her kindness, almost feeling like he owes her back some of that time she spent with him, making sure he didn't starve to death. [hr] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [color=8dc73f][b]Amelia Payne[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [i]"We mostly stay out of each other's way, but I'd say we're on good terms."[/i] Amelia and Ciel don't talk much, but at least on Ciel's end of things, he likes to think they get along okay. [hr] [color=red]☢[/color] [color=ff8c00][b]Schrödinger[/b][/color] [color=red]☢[/color] [i]"If I'm going to be perfectly honest, I don't like cats."[/i] [hr] [color=limegreen]☣[/color] [color=f08080][b]Meghna Kumar[/b][/color] [color=limegreen]☣[/color] [i]"I... I don't know what to say."[/i] In his heart of hearts, Ciel knows that Meghna means well. But he can also tell that she feels sorry for him, which drives him absolutely mad. His great dislike of being pitied causes him to avoid her when possible. However, he maintains that he harbors no ill feelings towards her. [hr] [color=orange]✿[/color] [color=f7976a][b]Sana Rouen[/b][/color] [color=orange]✿[/color] [i]"I like her, but she seems like she's been through a lot since I left Franklin..."[/i] Before being taken to Newnan, Ciel had only briefly had a chance to get to know Sana and never really knew Marx at all. As such, he's not really sure what happened to bring Sana down so much. However, he tries to lend a helping hand whenever he can, and Sana continues to treat him with kindness. [hr] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [color=23D5B7][b]Beatrice Decker[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [i]"To be honest, I don't see much of her. She seems nice, though."[/i] Ciel is pretty quiet in nature, so there are still quite a few people he doesn't know terribly well. Beatrice is definitely one of these. Though he tries to stay on everyone's good side, Beatrice is just someone he doesn't end up speaking to frequently. [hr] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [color=B0C4DE][b]Riley Ridgeway[/b][/color] [color=yellow]☯[/color] [i]"She has her own goals. We get along okay, but I wouldn't say we're friends."[/i] Ciel feels it would be best to stay out of Riley's way for the most part. Though he doesn't at all dislike her, he feels that it's in his best interest not to get on her nerves. [hr] [color=orange]✿[/color] [color=ff6600][b]Chloe Ridgeway[/b][/color] [color=orange]✿[/color] [i]"She seems like she's been through a lot, but she's one of the nicer people I know around here."[/i] Though Ciel normally tends to avoid people like Chloe with rougher personalities, she's surprisingly nice to him for the most part, and he definitely appreciates that. Though he doesn't know about her past with addiction, he can tell she's had a rough time out there and he respects her strong survival instinct. Out of the two Ridgeway sisters, Chloe is certainly Ciel's favorite. [hr][/center] [/hider]
