Name: Walter Pierce
Age: Twenty-years old
Gender: Male

Backstory: Walter Pierce was the first child of a Korean mother and Irish father; his mother was an immigrant to the United States, and years before his birth, met his father. He grew up normally in the neighborhood of South Philadelphia, and despite racial differences between him and his peers, the boy got along just fine.
Overall, like most of the children and teenagers growing up, Walter was oriented on making his family proud, doing well in school along with running track, being greatly successful in this aspect. Despite this, the young man was at a lost; he struggled to find something to do with his life after the high school days, and in a series of breakdowns and falling outs, he moved away from home.
On the west coast, Walter found a semblance of purpose, attending college with a track and field scholarship and working part-time at a local cafe. Only roughly a year passed before the outbreak began, and Walter found himself on the run from the dead. Initially with another group of survivors who were headed for Dana Point, he was the only one to survive the trip, and arrived at the sanctuary damaged and broken from the experience.
But the wounds close and heal with time.
