The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined - Season 3

Danny - The Road - Alex/Rob/Zoe/Andrew He stared for a moment, considering this. I think you'd be better off with just each other. He almost said it, knowing it probably wouldn't have been a lie. "Then we'll be glad to have you," he said instead, hoping Shannon didn't jump out of the truck to give him a piece of her mind. He took a look back to find she hadn't moved, the expression on her face more wary than anything. She'd understand, he hoped. "I'm Rudy... er, Danny. Rudy's a nickname. Doesn't matter to me what I'm fucking called." He held his hand out to shake their hands regardless. "This here's Alex," he said, nodding to the man beside him. "Come over to the truck and I'll introduce you to everybody." Introductions went well enough, no one seemingly unhappy with the new arrangement. Danny said that James and Finch should ride with Andrew and Zoe, but like usual, James demanded Shannon stick with him. She only shrugged and nodded, going without much complaint. Danny touched her shoulder before she could go, whispering into her ear, "You sure? I know how you feel." She smiled at him. "It's fine. Really." So, with Shannon, James, and Finch moved over to Andrew and Zoe's vehicle, the groups proceeded on their way once again. "You guys lead," Danny told the pair. "Just keep heading North for now. If you think there's a good spot for a group to be hiding out along the way, make a stop there."

The Walking Dead: Among the Ruined// Spin-Off

Name: Cole Savage Age: 28 Skill: Cole's always been told he's a good actor. Unfortunately, he tends to not be able to use this skill in most situations due to his disassociation with everyday conduct and how one acts on stage or behind a camera. Since the apocalypse, he's tried to fix this to some degree, to hone it into an actual skill for everyday use. He's also familiar with firearms and hunting due to his father's love of both, but Cole never took to these as much as his father did. He'd rather get up close and personal, even if it's not the smartest choice. Personality: A boisterous man who enjoys being the loudest person in the room. Whether or not he's the most annoying person in the room as well is up to your personal preference, but Cole's been known to attract negative attention easily. It doesn't help that he enjoys hearing his own voice, taking any chance to get a word in on any conversation. He likes to grab attention, and when things start to go south, Cole is known to grow angry as a result. When he's able to be somewhat aware of himself, Cole is capable of putting up a front to hide his true feelings. Might as well use that acting experience for something. Bio: Cole's father, Cameron Savage, was only fifteen when he fell in love with Christina, the two young enough to think they'd be together forever. Unfortunately, when Cole started to come along, their passion quickly died, and Cameron wanted to move on. He still cared for Cole and helped Christina support him, but he became less attentive once he found his new love-- a woman named Abbey. Cameron went on to have another child with her, the two marrying at the young age of twenty. Most everyone took this turmoil and saw it as an expansion of their extended family, but Cole didn't take to this idea. He wanted more of his father growing up, soon becoming angry with his new wife and his half-brother, Caleb, for even existing. With only fours years of difference in their age, Cameron hoped the two would become close, but as Cole grew older, he wanted less and less to do with Caleb. Perhaps conversely, or perhaps largely just from the consequence of eventually having a second child, Cameron focused most of his attention away from Cole and his mother. Cole had lots of support from his mother's side growing up, but that didn't stop him from wishing his father paid more attention to him. He watched various men come and go from his mother's life, and Cole's desire for attention only grew. Perhaps this was why he got into acting, first doing stage shows for school, eventually trying out for and landing leads in plays. He grew larger, doing drama projects around the community, but Cole wanted more. He wanted to be the biggest person he knew, so that everyone would pay attention to him. Unfortunately, his acting career never really hit off. An extra here, a single line of dialogue there, countless indie projects for people wanting to break into film making... Cole considered moving to a different location, hell, maybe even Canada, but it ended up being a girl that stopped him. She'd one day end up to be his fiance. Caleb, who Cole felt his father favored, had grown a simple life. He'd spent a chunk of his childhood just hunting and fishing with his father, an activity that Cole didn't get to do so often. In fact, Cole grew to resent it in a way. Caleb, the simple younger half-brother, didn't have plans like Cole did. He had no idea what he wanted from his life. He'd left the state to "find himself", only to send a letter home a year later to inform the family that he was gay. Cole thought that this would change everything. Caleb had messed up in his eyes, ran off to practically slap their father in the face. Yet still, Cameron seemed to care about him. No, "Did you get the new part?", but only, "I wonder what Caleb is up to?". Of course, the apocalypse changed all that. The family had to support each other, or so Cole thought. Cameron wanted to take the family East to Louisiana to meet up with Caleb, but Christina grew ill, and everyone decided it would be best to stay. Cole's fiance left him only a month into the chaos, saying that she couldn't be with him under the conditions. It grew even worse for Cole, as his mother eventually died from her illness. She'd been the one to teach him that you didn't need a bite to turn. The family diminished, either eventually dying or leaving. With Caleb to the East and Cole's half-sister to the North, Cameron was torn on what to do. Still, even after the death of his wife, he stuck by Cole. Perhaps he felt it too dangerous to move, but Cole was, in a way, happy with this. For once, he had dad's attention all to himself.

The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined - Season 3

Tyler - Fitness Center - Scarlett/Matt He wanted to strangle this man. He wanted to gut Matt and watch his insides spill upon the ground. He wanted to watch the color drain from his face while Tyler stared at him, grinning. He wanted to-- "They wished to keep my daughter from me," Tyler said, his voice calm and collected. He felt renewed somewhat, like he was channeling himself from a few months before. He felt strangely like he was back in the catacombs, talking to Lynn, his insides churning at the waste of a human being she turned out to be. Just. Like. Matt. "It was a rescue operation." He looked to Scarlett for a moment, trying to convey to her his pain. Of course, with him so incensed, he knew he probably just looked furious. "We were all regular people once, Matt." He turned back to Matt and his crew, his hands balled into fists. "You were. I was. All of us. But they were keeping a man's daughter from him, their minds--" He reached upward, mimicking the side of his head exploding outward. "They were addled by paranoia. You don't do what they did, not for any reason!" He almost leaped at Matt then, his brain sending warm waves of adrenaline pouring through his body. What made him stop was the odd look on one of the men's face. The one not named Jon, the big one, looked oddly impassive. Recognition of the situation at hand was clearly not on his mind, and it was as if he was watching something on a stage. Tyler believed, strangely, that this man would kill him without hesitation if he moved to attack them. Tina and Jace shuffled awkwardly on their feet. They'd probably have a lot to ask once they got back, but they were holding back in front of these people. Tyler wanted to shut up so that they could all move on, but something else Matt said caught his interest. "Outpost was fine when I left," he said. "It still had--" He looked down, finally feeling his anger ebb away. Damn it, he was feeling a lump in his throat now. "They still had Rudy. Still had Enrique. I'm sorry, Matt, but you used them as well. I just wanted my little girl." The man named Jon let out a breath. "Jesus, well then. You done here, Matt, or would you like to taunt these people some more?"

The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined - Season 3

This looks good. So, accepted!

Appearance : James is around 6'1" and weighs 126 pounds. He has long, wavy hair that goes down to his shoulders in length. His frame is... feminine, to say the least. Thin waist and wide hips for his gender, along with small shoulders. His hair is brown, and his eyes are hazel. His skin is slightly tan, but not too much. Name : James Wyler Age : 38 Skill : "My nerdiness pays off for once in my life" James is a near master swordsman, able to block, parry, and even disarm the maker of most attacks with a good-sized weapon. Give him a shield too and he's darn near unstoppable in melee combat. He is also a very good bowman. This is due to a life time of LARP as a hobby. "I've worn my weight in steel for months at a time before, I think I can handle a little bit of weight" Again, due to his time as a LARPer, he is used to having heavy weight on his body. He can carry more than most his size, and will gladly do so. "With heat and steel we'll make the new dark age" His grandfather taught him how to do metalworking and welding. "And if i just put this here, and here, *goes off mumbling*" James is quite good as tinkering around with things and making all sorts of contraptions with parts from different things. Preferred Weapons (up to three) : blades from short sword length to longsword length. Shield of any kind (trash can lids can work, really.) and bow and arrow. Personality : James is bouncy and kind, hyper a lot of the time. But at times he can get dark and moody, not saying much and when he does talk. it's either good advice or an insult to the situation he's in. Brief Bio : James, before the outbreak, was a psychiatrist, mostly for teenagers or people who are always depressed. He had lots of free time and a good life comparatively. But for the longest time he felt, empty. Like he could accomplish so much more. I guess we'll find out if this is his chance, won't we?

I'll be making a sheet ASAP.

The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined - Season 3

Adam - Apartment / Baton Rouge - Katie Rushing. He'd heard Caleb lingering outside the door just a moment ago, but thankfully his destination had just been the washroom. He felt stressed-- way more stressed than usual with more people around. He hastily reached up to one of the shelves and managed to bang his hand against it, causing the pill bottles sitting on top to drop to the floor. They spilled all over, just as young Katie happened to walk in. Adam stared at her for a moment, unsure what to say. Then-- "Hey, Katie. I'm just trying to clean up this mess I made. I'm really clumsy." He started to gather the pills, only now remembering he left the trap door open. He turned around to find it open to Katie's prying eyes, a white bag apparent in behind the wall. He reached out quickly, moving to close it. "D-Don't mind this."

The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined - Season 3

Danny - The Road - Alex/Rob/Zoe/Andrew He could practically feel Shannon glaring daggers at the back of his head. There was no way she'd be for this-- probably a few of the others wouldn't be either. Still, with two locals and an extra vehicle, they all had to see that this was a good deal. Too good, even, making Danny wonder what they were playing at. Dumb idea to try and trick a group with just two people, but perhaps they had another goal in mind. "And what do you get in return?" Danny asked. "Inviting what could be a pack of thugs along-- albeit a pack of thugs with a kid amidst them-- with nothing in return doesn't strike me as a fun time." He relaxed a little, looking down the road. "We'd love your help, of course, I'm just curious as to why we're even having this conversation." --- Jon - Fitness Center - Matt/Scarlett/Jon He waited while Matt looked through the bag. "There's no need to take any of it out, just look through." He gave the girl that spoke up a look, trying to identify her. They'd never brought her along before, and the usual pair looked pretty spooked that she'd even spoken up. If he didn't know any better, he'd think she was signalling for some kind of ambush. He tensed up, his hands gripping the rifle fiercely. Though, after a few moments passed with nothing out of the ordinary, Jon allowed himself to relax. Matt appeared satisfied that everything was there, which seemed to prompt him into speaking to the group-- or, more specifically, to the unassuming man at the back of the group. Jon almost hadn't noticed him. When Matt mentioned a little girl, the man's head flipped around, anger apparent on his face. Jon thought he was going to come at them, but it seemed that man had some restraint. Thomas, Matt called him. "He helped you?" Jon asked. He continued to look at the man named Thomas, who seemed to try and become unassuming once again. The others-- Tina and Jace Jon believed they were named-- were now giving the man a questioning look. Ah, it seemed this was new info to them as well. "He on our side...?" Jackson asked, and Jon felt like rolling his eyes. Jon shook his head and found himself licking his lips. This encounter was making him feel a bit on edge. "Why don't you tell us how he helped you, Matt? I think everyone here would like to kn0w--" "It's in the past," said Thomas, quickly. "Just leave it, Matt."

The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined - Season 3

Jon - Fitness Center - Matt "They do this regularly. You want to stick around these parts, you have to provide for the rest of us." As Jackson paused at the entrance, Jon adjusted his hold on the gun. He wanted it out in the open-- they weren't be messed with, not now, not ever. "And Jackson, don't do the talking." The man nodded, stepping inside. --- Tyler - Fitness Center - Matt/Scarlett/Jon Tina looked annoyed. "Supplies," she said. "Food, water. Everyone could use more of that." At the look on Tyler's face, Tina shook her head. "We have the greenhouse, so we can spare." Further discussion was cut short as this apparent group entered. The first guy to enter made for an imposing presence as he towered over everyone in the room. Behind him came a man brandishing a rifle, the expression on his face looking ready to cut a stone in two. The third guy looked-- Instantly, Tyler turned away, back toward the pool area. Jesus, not again. Another man from Outpost, this time Matt. Tyler couldn't guess as to why he was here of all people. Hoping he hadn't been seen, Tyler pretended to be mostly uninterested in the deal. He looked away, trying to give the impression he was only here to be a bit of muscle. Don't let them do all the talking he'd told Scarlett, and it seemed that, unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to assist her now for fear of Matt saying something. The last thing Tyler needed was this Tremblay group thinking he was anyone special. "It's all here," Tyler heard Tina say. She felt her move across the room to hold the bag out to the three men. Someone took hold of it and said, "Search it, Matt. Make sure it's all there."

The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined - Season 3

Tyler - Fitness Center - Scarlett He turned to watch Scarlett as she paced about the room. She started asking questions, which prompted Jace and Tina to share a look. "Tremblay," Tyler said, clarifying her question. "We'd understand if that was the case. I've been in those kinds of deals before." Not on this side, of course, but... "They're still dangerous," Tina said, not even bothering to deny it. "We still have to be careful when we go outside, okay? They don't like new people, especially." Nodding, Tyler looked back toward the pool. They admitted that a little easily, perhaps indicating there was more going on that they weren't letting on to. He thought back to his own past experiences, and wondered just exactly who this Tremblay was. A dangerous man, it sounded like, but so was Reggie, after all. Perhaps Tina and Jace wished to give them over to this group, but Tyler took some solace in the fact that they'd tried to keep this deal a secret in the first place. "They usually bring two people," Jace explained. "Sometimes three, sometimes four. They... might not like it if we outnumber them." --- Jon - Baton Rouge Streets - Matt He stopped, aiming his rifle across the street. The fitness center where they did their deals was in his sights, and as far as Jon could tell, the group they were to meet with were waiting inside. "I see two people. Looks like them." He turned to Jackson, placing a hand on his back so he'd lead the way. "Matt, if they get uppity, feel free to get a little dangerous with them. We never know when things could go awry." Doing as he should be, Jackson started leading the way. His heavy arms tensed as he balled his hands into fists. The man felt he was more intimdating during these deals without a gun, for whatever reason. Perhaps he'd one day get killed and save Jon a headache. One could only hope.
