GRESHAM KENT

Location: Versailles Town Square

---

The early mornings in Versailles were always quiet. It helped that Gresham was walking around close to dawn, rising before the sun did and sleeping after it went away the following night. The man was patient and reserved, watching the clouds dance across the sky. It was almost as if peace and harmony would last forever in that moment. But reality was truly unkind as Gresham took a deep breath of the bitter, cold morning. Winter was melting away as Spring began to charm its way into nature's pockets sprouting new buds along the trees and greening the fresh grass within the town. Nothing could ever take away the peaceful town of Versailles as long as Gresham Kent was alive and kicking to keep it standing.

One of the fine leaders of Versailles, he was a well-known orator who had a silver tongue and danced his way into the hearts of many folks who were sticking around to their town. "Good morning," Gresham said, waving to one of the patrol squads that were taking their morning scout. He wasn't a violent man, but wasn't close to a pacifist either. He knew that sometimes force was the only language people listened to so him being a man of many languages and cultures knew just how much a fist or gun could say. "Be safe on your patrol out there, heard that in the south side there might have been a break-in of some kind."

The guards nodded at his intel, thanking the councilman before they strolled off tightening their grips on their guns, nearing the southern part of the wall.

"Gresham!" A voice called out to the man.

Turning he was greeted by one of the scouting party members that he had gotten to know with his time in Versailles, Danny. "Morning, how's Sam doing?"

"He'll live. Just a scratch and a bruise, he just wants to prove himself, but I know he's not ready yet." Danny said.

"I think we should give him a shot. He's pretty handy with a gun, quick on his feet, and I also heard he knows his way around with a bat. A weapon like that would be good to have on scouting missions." Gresham said, suggesting the man's little brother to him. "Could even get a party out tomorrow morning to see about the bridge to the north. Maybe there might be something in Minnesota, we haven't gotten that far into the state yet, but could use more information on the surrounding area."

Danny was hesitant as he trusted Gresham's words and he knew his brother would be estatic to go, but he wasn't just quite convinced yet on his Sam's abilities just yet. "I'll think it over and talk to him about it. I'll see what the others think too."

Gresham patted the man on the back and smiled. "Walk with me for a bit?"

"Sure thing," Danny replied.

@JackalopeLove Totally cool with me!

Will probably be posting the first post tomorrow, got a little side-tracked heh!

Surviving the Walkers (DeadlyPhoenix and Denny)

Fred & Søren

Location: Mason City, Iowa

As the two ex-baseball players scavenged through the house like vultures on a carcass they came up pretty empty-handed. They found a few non-perishable food items they could add into their rations, but nothing too luxurious was found. The house was empty and free of walkers as that was one of the plus-sides too. With their next plan of action already decided the two friends exited the house swiftly as they made their way to the camping supply store.

"We'll sneak through the back," Søren said, moving slyly across the parking lot as he led the way.

Fred followed in tow as he slid from empty car to empty car, hiding behind whatever he could to cover him from the wandering eyes, if there were even any. He knew that it was a lot better being safer than sorry when it came to stealth. Sure, sometimes they could look like idiots, but not dying made them be able to look like idiots instead of being dead. "I think I see something moving inside," Fred muttered.

"Probably a few walkers," Søren said, knowing to trust his partner in crime's word. "Just be extra careful when we get in there then." The man with the pair of glasses led them to the side of the building and with their backs against the wall they were a little safer. Nothing could really grab them from behind as the wall was solid brick and they just had to keep lookout for their sides and whatever was in front of them, which was a semi-empty parking lot.

As they neared the rear door of the small, camping surplus store Søren signaled for Fred to cover him as he began fidgeting with the door handle. "Remember, once it's open you go in and I'll cover you."

Fred nodded and watched as his best friend did his best at charming the door handle to move. It took a few moments before Fred heard something click and a smile appear on Søren's face.

"Ready or not," Søren said, "let's go."

"Can't be as bad as the house, we got nothing there." Fred sighed, tightening the grip to his wooden baseball bat as he slide into the backroom of the store.

Gresham

GRESHAM KENT

Name: Gresham Kent
Age: 42
Gender: Male

Personality: Gresham is a very altruistic man. Making sure the people of Versailles are safe is what drives him. He is a strong leader with a very charming and likeable personality. Gresham has a warm aura to him that draws others in. He is able to calm most situations within the community with ease as they all see him as the voice of reason. Though there are people who believe him to be a false leader of hope, he tries his best to show the doubters that he is a brave and strong leader, one that the people of Versailles can look up to.

Even though he seems as if he is an open book, Gresham does have a darker side that he hides from the public. He has a cruel side that is willing to do the worst of things imaginable, but he does it because Gresham does truly want Versailles to survive. So he is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the home he helped create stays safe no matter what the cost.

History: Not much is known about Gresham before the outbreak. He tells everyone that he is from Fargo, North Dakota and he was on his way to visit his parents in Portage, Wisconsin when the outbreak happened, stranding him on the Wisconsin border. With the outbreak he took shelter in the nearby town and was dragged into the mess of Versailles. With his charm and way with words Gresham was able to become one of the most trusted men in the community, earning him a spot on the council.

Sam

SAMSON SHIN-WON AHN

Name: Samson "Sam" Shin-won Ahn
Age: 19
Gender: Male

Personality: Sam is a lovable guy. He's fun and outgoing, always laughing and smiling about. He is a charmer and has a way with words, a super social butterfly. He is a genuine, good guy but often finds himself doing things without thinking it fully through, which can cause a lot of problems for those around him, especially his older brother Danny. Sam wants to prove to the people of Versailles that he can be someone they can also depend on. He wants to show them that he is strong and not as weak as some people might think him to be. The young man might be a bit brash, but Sam is only doing what he believes is for the better of everyone else. He mostly wants to prove to Danny that he doesn't need to protect him because he can protect himself now.

History: Sam was visiting his brother Danny when the outbreak started. They were headed to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport when they stopped in Hudson, Wisconsin as the border town's very own first case of the outbreak started. Days went by as they struggled to survive and it wasn't until the walls of Versailles came up that the two ever felt really safe. Instead of attempting to get to the international airport the brothers stayed in Versailles and became part of the community there.

Before the outbreak Sam was just your normal sophomore in college. He was struggling with getting good grades but was having a great time partying with his friends and just being free from his parent's reign over him.

Danny

DANIEL DAK-HO AHN

Name: Daniel "Danny" Dak-ho Ahn
Age: 28
Gender: Male

Personality: Danny is an over-protective and fatherly brother. He wants the best for his brother but sometimes it seems as if he is hovering and limiting him from his own growth. Danny is a great guy, who just wants to do what is best for his brother and for those around him. The man is extremely dependable and trustworthy and has become one of the core members of Versailles scouting group.

History: Before the outbreak Danny was a small-time record shop owner. He was known for having the newest and hippest tunes in town. He was also tied strongly to the indie music scene but as he was taking his younger brother Sam to the airport while he was visiting the outbreak began. They were stopped near the border of Wisconsin and Minnesota when the town they were in was under attack. Things felt like warp-speed as since then they had not left that area, staying in Versailles and making new roots for the moment.
