Name
Ken “UNO” Miller
Age
24
Gender
male
Race
zombie
Height
188 cm
Weight
78.6 kg
Occupation
convenience store cashier
Residence
Tokyo, Japan
Personality
Basic (strangers, first impressions)-
He’s pessimistic, hard-working, and likes to mind his own business. Leaves a first impression that screams “delinquent”- with his tall figure, dyed hair, and rough speech.
He snaps at people that cause him trouble or pry too much into his personal life. Tends to treat people of superiority and those in his inner circle much differently than people he has no connection with.
Friendly-
A bit of a pushover towards his friends. Aggressively loyal, may even become strongly overprotective. Becomes much less tense around people he’s used to. Even strangely cuddly? A good listener who gives advice if it is wanted or needed. But it’s the more bluntly honest kind of guidance.
Weaknesses-
His undead condition has taken a toll on his mental health.
He often suffers from episodes of lethargy and depression. He feel a great sense of shame surrounding his new form- often struggling with the idea that he is a “monster”. He does everything he can to hide his nonhuman features and nature from others.
Misc. Notes
UNO is not a “traditional” zombie. He has retained his full intelligence and almost all of his function. But there are many physiological differences that seperate him from an alive human being.
His body is as cold as the grave. His heart still beats however. He does not feel pain and his dexterity is worse than average. He requires very little rest to function and finds it difficult to sleep for more than 3 hours a day.
UNO’s diet has also been altered. He is an obligate carnivore (similar to felines) and has lost the ability to digest plant matter. He throws up anything he consumes that isn’t meat. As a zombie, eating animal meat (beef, chicken, fish, etc.) will make UNO feel full. But it doesn’t contain the right nutrients to sustain him. If he doesn’t eat a substantial amount of human flesh once every two or so weeks, it will impact his health until he has reached a “hungry” state. Where he will loose all sentience and attack anything in a desperate attempt to survive.

Quick Background
Ken Miller was born in Los Angeles, California.
His household was multinational. Jacob met Naomi during his time at the United States embassy in Tokyo. She was an English teacher in one of the local high schools, drinking away the pressure from her parents to marry. The two fell deeply in love and moved to America soon after Jacob proposed.
Ken’s life was comfortable. He was surrounded by love and support, and quite a bit of money. He was mostly influenced by his mother growing up, due to his father’s frequent absence because of business.
It was in the blink of an eye he graduated from high school. His parents were so impressed by his top marks that they suggested he should take a gap-year in Japan. As a sort of reward for his efforts. Ken was excited by this opportunity, as he hadn’t been in the country for a few years. He practically leaped at the chance.
But fate can always take an unfortunate turn.
After a late night of drinking, Ken decided to do the responsible thing and take a taxi back to his host family’s home. The driver was a bit overzealous with his acceleration because he was desperate for his shift to end. The car ended up loosing control on a tight corner in a residential area, and crashed against a large brick fence. The driver only sustained minor head injuries. Ken was not so lucky. He died at the scene.
In a state of panic the driver hid the young man in an alley way dumpster, covering him with piles of garbage in order to conceal the crime. Ken’s body was later found by a local family physician, the mysterious Lu Zhou.
Ken woke up sitting in Dr. Zhou’s waiting room. He couldn’t remember much of anything at first. But slowly his past returned to him. Everything except his name, and his time in Japan prior to his death.
There wasn’t much Dr. Zhou could do to help regain the man’s memory. He could, however, give him a name. UNO, meaning “one”- the world’s first zombie.

I’ve been trying to make my characters a little more interesting and their bios a little more bullshit-free. I would like feedback to see if I succeeded at any of those things... :’D
I would appreciate constructive criticism as to how I could improve my character or his bio (critique of my art is also welcome).
Thank you in advance!
