My Interest Check
You can do pretty much whatever you want with your CS, but I'll also provide a format that will have all the necessary info for those who like outlines :)

Name:

Age:

Drawing or description: (Both if you'd like to add things like height)

Backstory: (Can be short)

Skills/weaknesses:

Ability: (Just put the number if you chose from the provided abilities, if you chose none you don't need to add this)

Personality:

Other: (Optional)

These are the abilities I've come up with. If you want a new one, please discuss it with me :)

Of course there are people without powers, so it isn't necessary you have one.

1: these people have severely improved senses. They can feel vibrations, hear much more than a regular person, and see things further away/in the dark. This applies to all senses you can think of, including balance. Anyone with this ability has the disadvantage of being sensitive to loud noises and bright lights.

2: they are often called giants. A giant is much bigger than the average person, ranging from 7-10 feet tall, and sometimes even bigger. They don't have health problems due to their height, but they have the problem of not being able to fit through doorways and they have to eat and drink water much more than an average person. They normally are a lot stronger and more durable than a normal person.

3: these people are often called the Red. The red are bound to only drinking liquids, most often their diet consists of blood. People with this mutation are more predatory then others, often times having sharper teeth or even developing claws. No, they aren't vampires.

4: there is no name for this ability, but a person with it has the power to manipulate others into doing things with forced persuasion. They can tell how others are feeling (only if they are in physical contact with the person) and slightly alter others emotions. The ability can be extremely powerful, going as far as to convincing someone they are going to pass out, and then they do because of it. The downfall to this ability is that if you put too much power into persuasion it can cause severe headaches in the person being persuaded, and If they notice themselves being persuaded and try to stop it, the ability automatically fails.

5: this ability has no name but causes a severe defence against death. When the person is in danger or a life treating situation, they may go into a frenzy if they can't control themselves and start killing anything in sight. They can't control what they do during this, and can hurt loved ones or allies if they can't stop themselves. When they go on a frenzy their speed, strength, and durability increases.
 
Name:
Jesse

Age:
20


1641162419820_vdxhfdhfghgfj.png
Jesse is 5'10 and looks to be average in strength. He doesn't slouch much when standing but always looks (and is) tired for no reason at all. Jesse has messy hair because he decided to cut it himself after long hair started annoying him, but he hides it under his beanie. He has a permanent limp in his left leg, but it doesn't slow him down.

(Sorry if the image is big, I can't make it smaller using mobile)

Backstory:

Jesse grew up in a loving home and had a great childhood. He had friends, a good school, and a house big enough to fit him and his family comfortably, though his parents drove him to work a bit too much too early. The expectation of straight A's, going to college at a young age, and getting into a major university to earn a degree in business he didn't want caused him to believe he was a failure. He couldn't seem to live up to what others thought he was, so he stopped caring and decided he would do what he wanted instead of trying to be something he couldn't. His parents weren't extremely happy when he told them he was going to become a combat medic, but they supported him either way.

After going through the necessary education he achieved his goal and was a combat medic at the age of 18, leaving his home and working for a year and a half before he was caught in an explosion and nearly paralyzed from the waste down. He was bed-ridden for around a month during recovery, and in physical therapy for the rest of the year. He ended up with a permanent limp in his left leg. After he recovered he left the military and decided he wanted to go to medical school.

Unfortunately he never finished... Y'know, the apocalypse happened.


Skills/weaknesses:

Jesse is fast and skilled in hand to hand combat, usually using close combat weapons. He isn't the best at using ranged weapons so he typically avoids them, although he does like throwing knives. Although Jesse isn't weak, he isn't the strongest and if he gets pinned down by anyone above average in strength he's pretty much done for. Fortunately he's hard to catch. He was a combat medic so he has medical skills.

Jesse had past experience with surviving harsh conditions which helped him make it through the first few months of mass killings.

Ability: 3, he developed two sharp fangs due to his mutation, though he never got any claws.


Personality:
Jesse is usually laid back and calm, sometimes being seen as lazy because it's not noticable when he does things that are useful. He's always tired and looking for time to rest, never doing any more than necessary unless it would benefit him or another greatly. This makes him a trustworthy person because he wouldn't go out of his way just to betray someone, y'know, too much work. When it's needed he's efficient at completing tasks.

Jesse likes to make friends and isn't shy at all. He may seem gullible to others and will go with anything people tell him as long as it doesn't harm him or another person. He doesn't usually actually believe or trust anyone, he simply doesn't see why he should start a fight by accusing someone of lying.


Other:
  • Jesse carries a stuffed bear in his bag that he calls Lasagna. Why? Because he likes it.

  • He has a collection of throwing knives that he loves to keep clean and safe. His favorite has a shiney blue gem embedded in the center of the blade.

  • He found that he can drink the blood of the creatures and not die, so he carries bottles full of blood in his bag. It doesn't taste as good as animal blood but it's hard to find wild animals anymore.

  • His favorite drink is hot chocolate, he found a few boxes full of hot cocoa packs, though he has to use warm water instead of milk.

Name: Trevor

Age: 19

Drawing or description: Trevor is generally on the smaller side, as he stands at 5'6 and has a scrawnier build.

dfghjk.pngocman.png

Backstory: Trevor grew up in a small seaside town. His parents were kind and caring people, but they worked a lot. As an only child, he spent much of his time on his own. This was probably why he was so invested in his local scouting group, although it only consisted of 3 boys including himself. It was also one of the only youth groups in his area, and there wasn't much to do in town. He ended up learning a lot from his scouting leader, including many survival skills that became quite useful later on...

Skills/weaknesses: Good at being stealthy and hiding, which is a skill he utilizes to sneak around unnoticed, and avoid fights. He is also skilled with long range weapons, like bows and throwing knifes. Trevor is flexible, and can fit into small spaces and reach hard to reach areas. His tendency to run away from helped him develop good agility and speed. He has wilderness survival skills.

He doesn't know how to shoot a gun, and he is too scared to learn. He is also pretty useless in close combat, and he avoids it at all costs. He only knows how to dodge, but his blows are weak. Being close to loud sounds, like gunshots, overwhelm his senses because of his ability. Bright lights as well. When this happens he can still sense vibrations, but he hears only a piercing (and painful) ringing in his ears. He feels a sharp pain in his eyes and is temporarily blinded when going into sunlight after being in the dark for a while, and bright lights shining into his eyes cause a longer blindness and greater pain.


Ability: 1

Personality: He is easily peer pressured, which goes well with his non-confrontational attitude. He's self-sufficient and good at taking care of himself, although he prefers to be in groups. He doesn't let himself get too attached to his group members, as he feels attachment just weighs you down. Overall he comes across as a pretty easy-going and chill guy. He is a good liar. He is also selfish, as many become in situations like these. He is internally pessimistic, but he keeps his negativity to himself mostly.

· ability

· personality
Generally standoffish, Violet usually comes off as unfriendly on first contact. Her resting face has a tinge of aggression which generally keeps people at bay. At heart, Violet is very caring, but she doesn't have time for nonsense and doesn't like to play games. She no longer allows herself to get close to people.

·Backstory
Growing up in what seemed like a perfect nuclear family put a lot of pressure on Violet. Her mother and father were happily married, to the outside world, but behind closed doors it was not a happy home. Violet and her younger sister, Magnolia, were under constant stress from their overbearing father. Since her father had hoped for a boy and Violet was the eldest, he treated her the roughest. He took her hunting, pushed her to play sports, and didn't give her any slack when it came to school or work. This made her resentful of him but also gave her a very solid work ethic. She pushed herself to be athletic by doing track and field, volleyball, and soccer while also being a straight A student. She hated hunting but she had good aim and was easily able to track game in the wild, once she was taught the ropes.

Once she was old enough, Violet moved out of her parent's home as soon as she could. Having a job since the age of 15 made it a little easier as she had saved up a little bit of money. She maintained as close of a relationship as possible to her sister once she moved out, but it was hard. Her father became more aggressive towards her after she moved from under his roof. He had less control over her and he did not like it. He held her sister over her head a lot in order to get her to do what he wanted still. This made her grow even more resentful of him.

When the attacks started, Violet's mother was tragically lost. Her father and sister were able to remain safe, thankfully. It was at this time that Violet reconnected with her father in hopes to keep herself and her sister safe moving forward. She moved back into the family home to assist in caring for her sister and to help keep her family, and the others left in their little community, safe. They were able to stay alive easily enough through the first month and a half but once the people around them started feeling the affects of the radiation, that's when real tragedy struck. Violet and her father got into a fight one day, it was worse than any they had had before. Her father started getting very heated. At one point, he lunged at Violet and after that everything was a blur. When Violet finally regained her consciousness, she was met with an unthinkable sight. Not only was her father a bloody heap on the floor in front of her but in the wreckage she also found her little sister. Violet unfortunately had no recollection of what happened, though the blood on her hands gave her an idea, it wasn't something she wanted to dwell on. Violet was grief stricken by the loss of Magnolia and took a full day to mourn and bury her.

After burying the remnants of her family in the backyard of her family home, Violet left and vowed never to return. Her only goal now was to survive.

· extra

Haewon was born to a young couple in South Korea, a husband and wife in a nice apartment in Busan. Her father worked at the ports, whereas her mother was a teacher at Gwangen Elementary School. Her childhood was a happy one, she had many friends at school and she was progressing well, though that changed when her younger sister was born.

Minyoung was born when Haewon was 5, though her parents called her an accident. Her father left them behind, leading to the decline in their mother's mental health. She stopped making them dinner, getting them ready for school, and ignored Minyoung's cries. The two sisters began to live off of snacks and packaged food, whatever they could find that didn't need cooking. Haewon eventually learned to cook, making whatever she could to keep her and her sister fed.

Many children dreaded school meals but Haewon and Minyoung saw them as a blessing, it meant the two were well fed without worrying about money. While Minnie began to excel in school against all odds, Haewon began to struggle. She couldn't concentrate, she was constantly worrying about something, and her exam results reflected that.

Her mother turned to strangers for affection, bringing home random men. Some stayed longer than others, some were nicer than others. Some were friendly and even brought snacks for the sisters, but others were abusive, but none stayed permanently. Haewon spent a lot of her teen years arguing with older men, trying to protect herself and her little sister.

At 15, Haewon decided enough was enough and contacted her aunt, Do-Yun, who had immigrated to America years prior. She hadn't seen her in months but, after learning of her sister's behaviour, was willing to help. She paid for plane tickets for Haewon and Minyoung and met them at the airport to take them to their new home. However, Do-Yun was a busy woman, already working two jobs to stay afloat, so Haewon maintained the role of raising her little sister even in this new environment. They started a new school where Haewon continued to struggle academically, though this didn't bother her. However, Minyoung's grades also began to slip. She didn't speak English as well and struggled in classes, as well as struggling to make friends. Haewon didn't mind isolation but Minyoung struggled with it, missing her friends from back home.

Do-Yun died early on in the apocalypse, leaving Haewon to look after her younger sister alone. They attempted to travel to a safe haven set up by the military but were attacked on the way. Haewon went into a frenzy, killing all of their attackers, but Minnie was also left injured. Haewon doesn't remember how it happened and Minnie refuses to tell. Haewon decided to seek shelter closer by so her sister could rest which was how she met the rest of the group.

• Ability 5.
• Despite having no control in her frenzied state, she is can often snap out of it if she comes close to hurting her sister. This doesn't always work, however.
• She fears hurting her sister one day.
• She doesn't know how many she has hurt or killed in her frenzy.
• She is typically quite stoic, she doesn't worry about much, and when she does, she hides it well. She's also willing to put herself at risk for the good of the group. For example, she is happy to go on supply runs that may be dangerous. She refuses to let them take Minnie on runs. She is also quite physically fit with a high pain tolerance, she will keep going if injured.
• Her weaknesses include being overly protective of her sister. She will likely make rash decisions if her sister is in danger. She is also a liability because of her ability, she can lose control and put the group at risk. She's not exactly emotionally available and is easy to anger.
• She is around 5'9" in height with a relatively scrawny build, though is surprisingly athletic.
• In her backpack, she carries spare warm clothes, such as gloves, hats etc., small snacks like energy bars and trail mix, hair ties, first aid items such as bandaids and antiseptic wipes (though she is running low on these) and some old period products.

istory





Minnie was a mistake, the second child to a South Korean couple who only wanted one. The unexpected child broke up their relationship, the father left and her mother broke down, turning to alcohol to cope with her loneliness. She had little to no relationship with her mother, leaving her with serious attachment issues. She was instead raised by her older sister, Haewon, who did her best to fill the void her mother left.

Minnie and her sister often went to school hungry but despite this, she still continued to excel. She enjoyed reading, she was almost always found with her head in a book. She was interested in both fiction and non-fiction. She was always interested in learning, even if the teachers around her told her these skills and fun facts would never help her in her adult life. She researched things like first aid, interesting chemical reactions and disasters from history. However, she often suffered with sensory overload, where she simply couldn't concentrate and would become overwhelmed with emotion and stress.

Minnie was a little upset when Haewon decided to uproot their small family and move to America, but not because she would miss her mother. She had seen her mother almost overdose many times, she saw her shooting up, saw men coming in and out of her home, so she had no issue escaping that environment, but she worried about the new environment, not speaking the language very well, and leaving her good friends behind. She was afraid of being an outcast in her new school, afraid that the language barrier would affect her grades, but she wasn't in school long before the apocalypse began.

Minnie was present when her auntie died, the closest thing to a mother she actually had. Haewon was on a scavenging trip and Minnie refuses to open up about what she saw, so Haewon still doesn't know how their aunt died. They began to travel towards the closest military safe haven, however, it was a long trek, and the two were ambushed on their travels. Minnie was sure she could hear somebody, but couldn't see anyone approaching. Haewon shrugged her symptoms off as exhaustion, but Minnie had been hearing their attackers all along.

Minnie must have repressed the memory of what happened as she can no longer recall the incident. She remembers coming to, her sister was bloody, they were surrounded by bodies, and she had deep lacerations across her chest. The two decided it would be best to seek shelter somewhere closer so Minnie could recover.

• Ability 1
• Minnie previously suffered from sensory overload prior to her ability developing, and she struggles even more now.
• Min is book smart, she knows a lot about history and obscure medical facts. She has a good grasp on first aid and has taken on a medic role despite her age. She's friendly, which could be seen as a weakness during the apocalypse, but it means she's easy to get along with in and bonds with people quickly. She shows affection physically, she especially enjoys hugs, and is good at comforting people.
• However, she's not physically or emotionally strong and can't really put up a fight. She's much more of an asset back at base than out in the field. She's quite sensitive, but deep down she feels like she isn't useful to the group and is just trying her best.
• She's only about 5ft in height with a scrawny build.

Name: Raine Amelia Blackwoods

Age: 18

Eyes: Hazel

Hair: Dark brown

Height: 5’7

Weight: 130

Face Shape: Triangle

Background: When she was younger she was raised by her mother who was addicted to hardcore drugs. She often brought over other addicts, whether if they were customers, friends or her boyfriends. There was always drugs and booze laying around the house, easily in arms reach for a kid. At times her mother or one of her friends, would become physically violent either in a drug or drunken rage. Raine would go days without eating because she was too young to cook herself, and her mother would sometimes be gone for days at a time or spend all her money on drugs than buying food. Whenever her mother would use at the house she would lock Raine into a closet or her room for several hours. When she went to other people’s houses to get high, she would lock Raine in the car or leave her sitting in a strangers living room for a long time.



Eventually she was taken into foster care.



After being in and out of people’s homes, Raine was finally adopted at the age of 14. It didn’t take long for her to realize that her and the other foster children were adopted for the paychecks. Her foster Mother was a Narcissist and the father was an abusive alcoholic. She spent her teenage years taking care of her 3 foster siblings and pretty much raising them. Balancing work, school, and taking care of the children and cleaning up at the house, Raine was always tired barely able to get enough sleep. Somehow she managed. Her Siblings are what kept her going.



After the apocalypse hit suddenly, Raine watched after her siblings. Finding ways to keep them alive by going on supply runs and stocking up. She taught them how to survive, to fight, and warned them about the creatures and how they mimic humans, invade they ever tried to mimic her. A few months in they managed to survive. Their routine worked.



That is until that one fateful day. After a supply run Raine returned to her base to find the front door slightly cracked open. The feeling of dread and despair washed over her when she entered their home and found all of her siblings dead. Brutally murdered by humans who had broken into their home and raided the place for their supplies. Someone had been watching her and learned their routine.



After that day Raine had become a lone wolf. Roaming around from place to place looting, killing, and surviving. That was all her life has ever been. Surviving.



Abilities: 5.



Skills/Weaknesses:



S:

  • Hand to hand combat skills. After years of building deep rooted rage and anger, Raine began taking it out on others during High-school. She took it out on others around her. Students. Teachers. Strangers who gave her problems. Soon enough she grew the strength to start fighting back against her abusers and eventually the physical abuse stopped.
  • Close combat: When the apocalypse started she practiced everyday weaving different weapons from crowbars to knives to protect her siblings.
  • Independent: Through experiences, she learned how to take care of herself and deal with difficult challenges by herself.
  • Stealthy: When she was placed into foster care, most of the people she’s lived with only used her as their personal slave or for the paychecks. They wouldn’t bother getting her the things she needs for an example hygiene products, period pads, and other necessities Raine needed. So she resorted to stealing and pickpocketing strangers for cash.
  • Survival skills: Raine has been in survival mode her entire life. Adapting to the apocalypse wasn’t easy but it wasn’t difficult either.


W:

  • Attachment issues: she is very introverted and distant. Not allowing herself to get close to others and pushing others away from getting close to her.
  • Moody and aggressive
  • Assumes the worst out of people: she’s dealt with bad people her entire life it’s hard for her to see and expect the good in people.
  • Claustrophobic: When she was young her mother used to lock her inside of closets, small rooms, and cars for several hours while she was getting high. The foster parents who officially adopted her found that out and decided to lock her in small spaces for their own joy and her punishment.
  • Short tempered
  • Trust issues
  • Her ability: afraid of losing control of herself and being completely controlled by her ability and killing innocents and people that she cares about.
