Are you trying to paint the walls red with all natural paint?! Because that's what we're about to do!"[sup] - Manny to Thana as the two prepared to remove Thalia's arm[/sup][/sup][/right] [b][color=00aeef]⚘ Looking Inside[/color][/b] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Manny is someone who likes to see the best in everything. He likes to see the best in people, the situation, and how things could be better in the future. He prefers when situations are solved without violence, as he believes it can create more problems then help at times, though pacifist would be a wrong word for the old doctor. Once a situation turns to violence he goes all in, his mentality reverting back to an aggressive teen who thought he could take on everything. He recognizes that he can have a temper at times and will go out of his way to stay focused on keeping calm and patient. Though many of his actions once he decides he is doing them, he is very hard pressed to change his mind. Manny is a person who wants to help others do well in their life. He wants people to be in general safe, protected, and overall feel like they are doing well. He is an overall caring person who will go out of his way to help others if they need it. Though he isn't likely to press too hard once he sees his help is unwanted, as many times pushing it is a great way to make a situation worse. [color=00aeef][b]⚘ A Brief History[/b][/color] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [hider=Pre-Outbreak] [color=00aeef][b]Growing Up:[/b][/color] Manny growing up was raised on a chicken farm. Though eh rarely spent time on it, caring to spend more of his time hanging out with his closer friends. Getting into fights, reading comics, setting off home made fireworks using spare supplies, all sorts of things that teenage Manny found entertaining. Despite the legal issues that he found himself in, he was never really scared of law enforcement, though he was scared of his Father. And many members of the law quickly found this out. During a brief conflict with another group of teenagers, the fight was brought to an abrupt end when one of Manny's closest friends were killed in the fight. Soon sending Manny on a path to turn his life around to prevent events like that happening again. [color=00aeef][b]Adulting:[/b][/color] Manny spent much of his adult life studying medicine. At first keeping it General until a couple years into his program where he decided to do into the more specified field of dentistry. Overall it was a long schooling career, but after his education he was able to go right into his field where he met his soon to be Husband John. His life from that point was pretty strait forward and uneventful, spending his free time reading, target shooting, and enjoying time with those he cared for. In his later years eventually buying a home, then setting up his own business. [/hider] [hider=Post-Outbreak] [color=00aeef][b]Your First Walker Encounter:[/b][/color] First time they had to deal with or saw a walker. Minimal 1 well developed paragraph but can be more. Good time to get feel for your character with a pre-post. [color=00aeef][b]Those First Years:[/b][/color] Year 1: Manny found himself at an Emergency site for a decent portion of the early days, though due to local government collapse himself and other survivors were forced to leave and take shelter in random location to random location for several weeks until his group set up shop in an old Spanish fort. Where at first things went well, but food shortages became apparent as the fort started to show long term issues. After a year or so of Scavenging the survivors eventually left when a fire started burning down most of the wooden structures and crops inside. Year 2: After a few more weeks the survivors Manny traveled with moved into a hotel with another group of survivors who had secured it prior to their arrival. The place was secure, had better food storage, and had better long term options that the survivors were able to set up. While here Manny would enter another marriage, trying to enjoy what life still had to offer. When food was starting to run low again, a large portion of the group left the hotel to find better long term locations, leaving Manny, his new husband, and a skeleton crew for a group to watch over the new home. While the main force was out though, a horde was able to break through the defenses, killing a majority of the people who hadn't gone out, including Manny's new spouse. When the main scouting force returned the horde was drawn away and the survivors that were still left inside were taking to a style of life. Year 3: Over the next year Manny and the survivors were forced to become nomads, trading with other random groups, dropping off people who wanted to stay, picking up those who wanted to travel, trading whatever supplies could be spared. When Winter was about to roll around the Hotel survivors were forced to find shelter for the season. Before the winter season could kick off, they settled down in a gated community and reinforced the structures to hold against any wandering hordes, and set up agriculture. Overall, creating a comfortable post modern life. Year 4: despite months of things going in favor for Manny's group, problems were bound to arise. A horde large enough to be able to block in the community for weeks on end was approaching, and with few means to redirect such a large group the survivors had to decide to hold a stand, or hide. Deciding that if the gates were to be attacked by this horde that they would eventually fall, it was decided that the group would kill as many as possible, while also trying to redirect them to a more controllable area. Manny despite his lack of overall combat experience refused to be left out this time, taking his gun and joining the redirection effort. The event ended with most of the volunteers dead, wounded, or bitten. And those that were left too few to keep the community running. When finding out that the horde was directed by a group so that they could loot their supplies, Manny and what survivors were left went out on a hunt to wipe them out, being successful in the end. Though with the community being left in shambles, many left to go back to old homes, go it alone, or stay in their dwindling communities, Manny being one of the ones to go it alone. Hoping to help those he could along the way. [/hider] [hider=Since Entering RP] *Keep this section clean if you are just now coming in. Add in as sections are needed.

With the events that took place with how the Eden group took prisoners and found more creative ways to kill those that had been captured. In Manny's short time he found himself in a fighting arena environment that thankfully due to his rather short stay he was able to hold out until the ironically named Team Eden showed up, causing enough mayhem that Manny was able to fight his way out of his cell, and continued to help clear the hell hole known as Eden. While present he made a choice to try and save Thana over Gavin, leading eventually to the death of Gavin. Soon after Alexander would find himself locked into a bear trap maiming his leg, and Manny being forced to amputate in an attempt to save his life. [color=00aeef][b]Searching:[/b][/color] Finally stopping after months of travel and close calls, Team Eden arrived into a vacant home clear of nearly everything inside. Whilst there Thalia found herself bit, and was in need of an emergency arm removal. With Thana's help they power sawed their way through Thalia's arm only causing severe damage to the appendage. With Thalia weak and at risk of infection Thana left to much of Manny's concerns. The remnants of team Eden would find themselves picked up by CMB scouts months later. [color=00aeef][b]Camp Mexico Beach:[/b][/color] Manny enjoyed his time so far in camp. Though he holds some minor reservations, they are minor tradeoffs so far in the world of the walking dead. Manny had met several interesting characters, some more friendly then others. Now that he wasn't nearly as worried about the threat of the dead he had been able to take time to build his relationship with Alexander and others taking time to enjoy his personal life and attempting to rebuild his professional career. [/hider] [color=00aeef][b]⚘ Relations[/b][/color] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [hider=Major][right][sub][h3][b][color=662d91]Alexander Polawski[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup]"You're a good man Alexander Polawski. I don't know where I would be without you." [sup]- Manny reassuring his friend while mentally preparing for Hunter's trial[/sup][/sup][/right] Alexander and Manny met at gun point while inside the Eden complex. Manny using his pleads as a doctor to prevent getting shot under suspicion of being one of the cultists. Despite the rocky start, Manny would give everything he could to help support his friend, and he'd get the same in return. While in camp the two would start developing their friendship outside of well balanced survival into plans of fishing trips, stories of past lives, and plans in the future to improve their own lives. Noticing the toll that the Trial of Hunter was taking on Alexander Manny reassured Alexander that people can struggle yet still be good people. For both of their sake's, they needed to know they could still be good people despite their choices of the past. [right][sub][h3][b][color=0072bc]Thana Martin[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup] "Fuck my life..." [sup]- Manny hitting the realization that Thana's newly acquired power saw was the only valid option at the moment for Thalia's arm[/sup][/sup][/right] The first time Manny met Thana was while at gun point being suspect of being an Edenight. Though his first conversation with her wouldn't be until a few minutes later when she was shot to pieces, and Manny chose to prioritize saving her over Gavin. Manny would grow to trust Thana as a leader and someone who had the group's interests at heart. Though he held doubts over her leaving to pick up supplies, in the end it worked out for everyone. He was impressed by the pounding the woman could take, and was glad to see her alive yet again while in camp. [right][sub][h3][b][color=dc143c]Thalia Carmichael[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup] "Knowing her, I'd say she'd recover and probably just hit things twice as hard with her remaining hand just to make up for the missing hand." [sup]- Manny explaining Thalia's condition post arm lobbing[/sup][/sup][/right] Thalia and Manny had spent some harsh time on the road together. Though they wouldn't likely be poker buddies they held a trust for one another that could only be obtained by putting one's life in the hands of the other over and over again. While on their travels, Thalia found herself bitten by a stubborn walker who didn't take death as nicely as others. After removing her arm with a powersaw Manny would spend a lot of time making sure her wounds were stable and were not at risk of getting worse. It was one of the worst medical procedures he'd ever had to produce, and he'd be perfectly happy if he never had to do it again. [right][sub][h3][b][color=f7941d]Lisa Mason[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup] "My goodness I think you're right. Is this retirement then? Does that mean I have finally hit the grand age of Old?" [sup]- Manny to Lisa when she brought up that the two had technically switched professions[/sup][/sup][/right] Lisa was one of the first people Manny had the pleasure to really get to know. She was knowledgeable about the camp, helped Manny get familiar with what to expect, and was a great work partner on his first day working within the camp. He loved listening to her grand plans for the future, and was even more excited when she found herself entering the medical field. Though she seemed to be strained by the boat puns, Manny loved being able to share some of his humor with more people who'd tolerate it more then once. [/hider] [hider=Minor] [right][sub][h3][b][color=8dc73f]Amelia Payne[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup] "Well hopefully you don't have too many encounters like that." [sup]- Manny post Amelia dog scare[/sup][/sup][/right] Manny and Amelia have cross paths a couple times but it rarely went past the short conversations. He had talked to her briefly in Quarantine and before the bus ride to the funeral after she was clearly spooked from what he later learned was a dog scare. With the general positive attitude of people towards dogs in the community members he's met so far he wondered if that would be an issue with her and others. But so far it had seemed to work out rather well. [right][sub][h3][b][color=f26522]Nikola Warren[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup] "Wouldn't hurt to have another Thana around." [sup]- Manny pleased to hear Nikki's general excitement of things[/sup][/sup][/right] Manny had held a couple conversations with Nikki with most being in public places after Hunter had made a fool of himself. She seemed like a nice enough girl in his eyes, though definitely has a couple of those traits that he finds odd about youth. But she is a good reminder that people can all sorts of crazy things and still be a good person at the end of the day.
