Backstory: Kirk grew up in the hills of West Virginia on a large farm, spent his time taking care of animals, and using farm equipment. Kirk spent time with his grandfather who worked on the railroad. He spent his summers working with him in the classification yard. After high school, Kirk joined the Marines for one enlistment then went to college and then enlisted into the US Army. After several terms, He transferred to the Navy reserves to close out his military career. Kirk got a job with the railroads after mustering out of the federal service and started as a conductor, working his way to engineer. Now, most people would think that it would be strange to have a railcar on-site at the homestead but that was franklin's dream. But being a doomsday prepper was the least of His wife Tammy worry, Tammy supported his madness but only if they would use the railcar for travel, which was twice a year. The franklin's had a nice home, twenty acres, a few farm animals, and a few dogs. His wife "Tammy" was a Trauma Nurse for the local hospital that was almost an hour away. Kirk worked for the railroad so he wasn't at home as much but Tammy kept the home fires burning for him. Kirk had a small side gig with butchering meat in his shop that was next to the house but away from the barn so the animals won't stress.

The flu hit as it always does but this one was different. by the second week, Tammy was spending overnights at the ER, doing double shifts. Tammy told him not to worry and that she didn't want to bring anything home. Kirk delves back into his animals on the farm and his work till the news on the radio caught his attention. Riots, looting and the whole downtown area was getting locked down by the police. By afternoon the nation started to shut down and the railroad wasn't an exception. SCATANA code was used and kirk's engine was affected, forcing the unit to go to the nearest sliding and the crew had to walk more the 7 miles to a crossroad to get picked up. It was madness for the pickup drivers so everyone wants to drive alongside the rails back to the yard due to all the street closings. By the time everyone goes back to work, all could see the various plumes of smoke in the air, the sounds of consent emergency sirens going off.

Their uncle was not the nicest of teachers but taught her how to survive in the woods. He would take them into the woods and leave them there to find their way home. This caused major distrust between the two. He showed them how to set traps and find edible fruit. Wild raspberries grew abundantly in the forest around the farm. She would always eat them when left alone in the woods. After a few years of this, they developed a strong distasted for them.
By the age of 10, they had memorized the forest within a 40-mile radius of the farm. Their uncle taught them how to use a crossbow at the age of 12. At age 13, she killed her first wolf.

They decided to go through the woods and search for other survivors.

[Moomba]

Name: Simon

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Asexual/aromantic.

Ethnicity: Japanese Italian.

Description/Picture: Simon is a lean man of average height, with dark eyes of indeterminate color and a smooth face. He has long, straight hair that falls just below his shoulders. He’s usually very flamboyantly dressed, mostly in black and white. He wears a white leather duster that’s well fitted to his frame, a black button-up shirt, and a pair of black trousers. He’ll usually offset the simple shades with gold accents like rings or necklaces.

Strengths: Very good with a knife, eidetic memory, fast reader, good aim, has training as a navy seal.

Weaknesses: He has a flair for the dramatic, often at the cost of some practicality. He’ll often forgo his own needs to complete his mission.

Likes: He ignores his own desires in pursuit of his goal to bring justice to the world. His one desire is to pass judgment on those who take advantage of the current situation.

Dislikes: Same as above. He wishes to judge those who decided to take advantage of the epidemic. He also recognizes his own hypocrisy, and harbors some self hatred for it, but he finds his mission more important than his own problems.

Backstory: Simon grew up as part of a lower class family, and he joined the Navy as soon as he could, ending up the Seals due to his skills. He served in the Seals for quite some time before being discharged at age 27. Since then he’s worked as a civilian contractor for various governments around the world. Since the epidemic started, he’s changed quite a bit, figuring that since the world was ending, he could do whatever he wanted. He now acts as one who passes judgement on others, particularly those who are taking advantage of current events.

Gear: Several knives, a Taurus Tracker revolver.

"Self-Insert"

 

[FROSTBITE4395]

[ScalpelsNSaws]

These questions are answered weird.
Age: ??? (He looks 14)
Sexuality: Umm why? (Pansexual)
Ethnicity: (wtf no way man)
They are not for you, they are descriptors for a character. If you're refusing to answer them or find it odd, it's because you probably should not be inserting yourself into an RP
also, Nicknames are usually earned either during RP or in the backstory, I doubt anybody is calling a 14 ish kid Scythe master
