Now though, his eyes are hollow, vacant more often than not. His hair is limp, dirty, and his face is gaunt. A scar runs across his right cheek, a souvenir from the last six months of hell.[/i] [color=gray][sub][h3]Life Before the Apocalypse[/h3][/sub][/color] [color=deepskyblue][b]"This wasn't supposed to happen. Not to me. My parents, they were fucking rich, like filthy rich. This shit isn't supposed to happen to people like us. We're supposed to have some plan, some underground bunker or something. Except we didn't. We were on vacation, in Minnesota when it happened. Dad likes...liked the open air. It didn't take long for everything to go to shit. I don't know. It's been kind of a blur. I don't even know how many fucking months it's been. I was with my parents, and my sister in the beginning, but...yeah. After that I haven't stopped moving. Honestly, I don't even think this is me. I couldn't handle any of this, I know it, cause in the beginning I was a wreck. But then Dad died. Then Mom. Then Marina. One after the other. I guess, after that I just kept going. Sometimes I wish I didn't have it in me anymore, so I could just die, but something inside won't let me do that. Self-preservation everyone. A true gift."[/b][/color] [color=gray][sub][h3]Strengths & Weaknesses[/h3][/sub][/color] [color=green]➕[/color] Diplomat | Daniel was known for his charisma in the old world. He's a cool head in a fight, and knows how to negotiate, and deescalate a situation. [color=green]➕[/color] Strong | The apocalypse takes some heavy hitting power, and Daniel's got plenty of it. He was a water polo player at UCLA, and he can pack quite the punch when he needs to. [color=red]➖[/color] PTSD | Daniel's seen a lot of shit since this all started, including the death of his family. It's taken a toll on his mind. Occasionally he'll have episodes where he dissociates and has flashbacks. [color=red]➖[/color] Privileged | Growing up surrounded by the 1% of the world, Daniel didn't have to learn much in the way of survival. He can't repair anything more complex than a Lego set, and you won't catch him being able to hunt anytime soon. [color=gray][sub][h3]Personal Goals[/h3][/sub][/color] Right now, Daniel wants to learn to hunt. This is the first group of people he's encountered in a long time, and as long as they can help him, he's gonna take it. Learning how to hunt would make life easier farther down the line, when these people might be gone. In the long term, Daniel wants to find somewhere to settle. He hates constantly looking over his shoulder, sleeping with one eye open. Safety and security would be nice, and he's far better suited to community organization anyways.

Her eyes are almost always lined with bag and dark circles, and her skin has collected more dirt. Showers are scarce in the apocalypse. [/i] [color=gray][sub][h3]Life Before the Apocalypse[/h3][/sub][/color] [color=ffe063][b]"I was born here, in Minnesota. My daddy owns a ranch, in a town called Hallaway. I grew up there, then hightailed it to Minneapolis, the minute I graduated. I hated that town. So small, so backwards, full of idiots, truth be told. Now, I'd give anything to be back there. Daddy was a lot of things, but he still loved me. He put me through school. I doubt I'd be where I was without his and Mama's help. I got my masters, and I became a psychologist. Marriage and family, specifically. I was with a practice in the city when this all went down. Me and my fiance were about to go see my parents, but the city was a mess. The traffic wasn't moving, so we had to go on foot. We packed what we could and headed out. Obviously, we never made it. He got bit about halfway to Hallaway, about 2 months ago. We were gonna go find my parents, and then go west and get his family in Nevada. We had it all mapped out, I was starting to think we might make it. I found these guys a few weeks after that. They're good people, for the most part."[/b][/color] [color=gray][sub][h3]Strengths & Weaknesses[/h3][/sub][/color] [color=green]➕[/color] Perceptive | It was Charlotte's job to read people, and she was quite good at it. She's got a knack for getting in with people, and analyzing them. [color=green]➕[/color] Good shot | Her dad taught her how to hunt, and she's owned a gun since she was sixteen. Long story short, she's your girl in a gun fight. [color=red]➖[/color] Takes Risks | Charlotte has become hardened to her reality in the last few months, and with that came a new found courage. Charlotte has become prone to risking her life, be it for supplies, or for a fellow group member. She does what has to be done, which can be good for the group, but bad for her individual safety. [color=red]➖[/color] Closed off | Charlotte may be a good listener, but she isn't much for sharing personal details. Because of this, she has trouble truly connecting with many people. [color=gray][sub][h3]Personal Goals[/h3][/sub][/color] Charlotte wants to find her family, if they're still alive. Hallaway shouldn't be too far now, if she's followed the map correctly. Shelter is a less immediate, but still a pressing issue for Charlotte. She's certain that they risk more if they continue to keep moving around. If the group finds somewhere to dig in, they might be able to relax a little.
