The Quad Squad

It was formed by Josh Laurence, it was a group of travelers who used their carven to transport from one place to another in order to survive, the group was originally consisted of ten people, then the numbers begun to increase day by day, they had a system that worked, however, nothing good lasts in an apocalypse, the group was attacked by another group, afterwards they were ran down by walkers and only four out of thirty survived.

Joshua Laurence is the one who leads the group, he used to be a marine, very intelligent in combat, he had a fiance who was pregnant with his child, but she died at the beginning of the apocalypse.

Tyler Dallas, he's good in combat but doesn't compare to Josh, he idolizes Josh though, he's a bit of a wild card, used to be a gym instructor, he couldn't reach his family during the apocalypse, he found Josh and stuck with his group, too afraid to go search for them.

Dory Finnick is a doctor, he had a wife, four children and a happy life, when the apocalypse began, his family died of various things, his wife died because she threw herself in the face of a walker to protect her family, the oldest child died out of sickness, the other three out of starvation and dehydration, he's the sole survivor, Josh and Tyler found him barely alive but they helped him.

Fin Hudson worked in IT before the apocalypse, he was a very clever man, he provided for his younger siblings and parents who died mid-apocalypse, he's a force of nature, never backs down and sticks to his opinions, he learned how to fight throughout the apocalypse.

The four men are currently moving from one location to another, desperately trying to survive and meet day's end.

Forgive My Trespasses

Mmm Serena/Lyn gets robbed and shot in the strip mall. Idk its just been in my head so I wrote part of it out Warning: blood, violence, all the things.

Laurel had gotten to the hotel late in the night. She and Alicia had gotten a call for help while the two of them were out on a run. Lyn and Troy and their group had run into the Clark they had long thought dead about two months ago, she had been out helping people in any way that she could. It was a cool summer day when Alicia had asked Lyn to assist her with a run, helping some people who had called out to her for help, and Lyn had agreed to help leaving little baby Tracy with her husband at the camp. It was supposed to be a quick trip but after the pair were done with their first stop another two calls came through the radio. Alicia said they should split up, she would take the first call and Lyn should head to the location of the second call which was an old strip-mall, the group called for medicine and aid for some children they had with them. Alicia promised she would meet Lyn at the mall when she was done with her drop. Before Lyn could think better of the plan Alicia took off in the MRAP and Laurel took the truck she was driving and headed off towards the mall. It was a ways away, so by the time she got there is was dark, and Alicia was nowhere to be found. Lyn really should have gone back, turned back and fled back to Troy. Her body screamed at her to go back, but she remembered the radio call, they called out for help for their children. Lyn knew if she ever needed someone to help Tracy she would want people to help and not turn away. So she took a deep breath and walked into the hotel with her medic bag of supplies slung over her shoulder, her machete at her waist, and her gun in her belt.

Although it was all a trap. Lyn knew that the moment she saw the group. There were no children, and the group was larger than was said. The doors she walked through were slammed shut behind her, and she knew deep down, she was screwed. First she tried to reason with them, keep them at bay and bide her time, maybe Alicia would show up. They took her bag, her machete, her gun and her walkie, the one thing she could use to get ahold of Troy. Of Russell, of anyone. She fought then, taking two of the people down with her, grabbing the walkie from one of their grips and quickly pressing the button.

"Troy!" She cried out painfully, in a panic, "Troy-help..." She took in a ragged breath, "I'm in the Strip Mall off of Jackson St. Help, I-" Before she could finish the call, or even hear Troy's reply she was sent to the ground with a rough hit and then kicked in the side repeatedly. The group beat her then. The last thing Laurel did was beg, pushing herself to stand up against the wall she took in a ragged breath and looked at the leader of the group and begged. Begged to be let go, to return to her home, to her husband and their infant child.

"Please...please..." Laurel said softly, begged. The wife of Troy Otto, the daughter of a man that only knew how to use his fists, the woman that had punched Jeremiah Otto without fear, was begging. Tears brimming in her eyes as for once, she actually felt scared, "please I have a daughter." The words left her lips in a soft cry, "she's only two." Laurel shook her head and sucked in a sharp breath, "she won't even remember me if I die now."

But her pleas fell on deaf ears. Then the leader raised his gun and shot two bullets into her torso. Laurel fell back with a painful cry, blood pooling around. Laurel laid on the ground, watching as she cried as the group left through the doors and took the truck she had brought and drove away.

Haven Headcanon

Frank, Sherry and Dwight all band together and try to get everyones birthdate down on a calendar so they can celebrate birthdays when they can. The trio goes around and ask for birthday and mark it on a calendar. Everyone's birthdate is pretty easy to get, except Troy's.

The Otto doesn't want people to know his birthday. Lyn, and Russell already know and that's too many people as is. So Troy either doesn't answer when his birthday is, or gives them made up dates as answers. Russell won't budge on the secret, loyal to a fault even about small things.

Eventually to get the trio (mainly Dwight) off Troy's back, Lyn tells them when Troy's actual birthday is. Although so Troy doesn't have to suffer the ordeal of an actual birthday party, Lyn intervenes. Usually the night before Troy's birthday, she packs up a truck gets Tracy and a probably confused Troy into the truck and heads off. She left info and instructions with Russell on where they would be before driving her small family to a cabin in the woods she had found on a run awhile, untrusting Russell to help her fix it up a bit it was now able to live in and worked as a suitable get away for the trio.

There Lyn ensures Troy can enjoy his birthday in peace, doing whatever he likes, even pretending it wasn't his birthday. But Lyn still makes his favorite dinner, or some version of it, and she and Tracy present Troy with a present for his birthday during dinner.

Tyler Dallas {OC Bio}

Tyler had previously been a gym instructor before the world ended, he lived in New York and had gone to school in Maine where most of his family lived as well.

Tyler was always very popular in school, he was homecoming king in High School and played sports, Football and Basketball mainly and eventually made Captain on both teams. Very determined and charismatic, Tyler always pulled people in. He was a flame for moths, and he knew it. He can be quite conceited, especially in High School, although eventually he grew up a bit, and wasn't as conceited, or perhaps he just hid it better.

When the world ended, Tyler tried to get back to his family in Maine, and he eventually did, but all he found was his childhood home burned to the ground, his family nowhere in sight. After that, Tyler just wandered for a bit, it was easier to survive by oneself he found. Tyler helpless, he knew how to hold his own in a fight, but knew how to handle a blade, and a simple handgun but that was about it. He wasn't terribly knowledgeable but enough to ensure his survival. Although the more Tyler was alone the more he realized he missed people. Tyler was always very social, he liked people and he liked attention.

Eventually he fell in with a group led by a guy in Joshua. It was a small group, a dozen people probably, varying ages and backgrounds. Josh had been in one of the refugee camps during the start, although when things started to get really bad he decided to leave, and left with a small group just a few days before the camp was destroyed by walkers. After that they were on their own, surviving on what they could, moving around in a caravan type style. They would stay in one place for awhile before moving on, staying under the radar of larger groups. They would welcome people into their community, but usually never join others. They learned quickly that, that usually only ended badly.

Tyler rose through the ranks of the group, he was smart and had a good head on his shoulders. Why he wasn't one for strategy out of the sports, he was good for moral, and always seemed positive.

Tyler has a rather large scar on the right side of his back, which he got one night when their camp was raided for the first time. In a blur, they were attacked by a group on horses wearing masks. Tyler was attacked, fending on a few before he was cut on the back by one of the raiders. Tyler also has an anchor tattoo on his ankle that mirrors the ones his brothers had as well. He also has coordinates tattooed onto the right of his chest, and won't tell anyone what they mean.

Tyler had a few relationships throughout the apocalypse, mainly flings, although sometimes longer. His longest relationship ended when his girlfriend left for another group that offered more protection.

Then Tyler met Laurel Otto when she and Morgan Jones traveled with their group for a bit. Tyler was immediately curious about Lyn who seemed to want nothing to do with any of them. Although that just seemed to encourage Tyler. He always liked a challenge, and he was rather tired of getting with women who just threw themselves at him, and were rather meek. Laurel was anything but, and she didn't fawn over him, in fact he felt like she didn't even see him. So his mind was set on this new challenge and prize.

Puppy Love Headcanons

When Tracy was nine, she found herself having an unexpected crush over eighteen years old Klaus

Tracy spent her days staring at Klaus, giving him death looks, she didn't understand why she felt like that but she definitely knew that she had a crush on him, meanwhile, Klaus thought that the youngest Otto was plotting his murder

Tracy went to Lyn for advice on how to flirt with men, Lyn, didn't know who exactly Tracy was talking about, but she did answer her question that the way she made Troy fall in love with her was by annoying him until she grew on him and he stopped threatening to kill her.

Tracy followed her mother's advice, she decided to annoy Klaus to get his attention, she started poking him whenever she saw him sitting, sometimes it would last for an hour or so, he was too shy and kind to say anything so he just took it, he also thought that if she tells Troy he might tie him to a tree and let everyone poke him until he dies

Tracy didn't get any reaction from Klaus when she started poking him so she went to Troy for advice, naturally Troy had no idea how to deal with a crush, he told her how he treated Lyn with constant threats of throwing her to walkers

The next day, Tracy asked Klaus to accompany her to the basement then she locked him in the basement with the walkers, thinking this would make him fall in love with her just like his mom did

Dwight ends up finding Klaus hiding in a corner in the basement after a day, totally traumatized, Klaus tells him what happened and he tells Lyn and Troy who are completely confused, they talk to Tracy and ground her, they also made her go and apologize to Klaus

Tracy went to Klaus who was being comforted by Frank and getting some serious medical help, she apologized to him about what happened and explained to him that she was trying to get noticed by him, she told him she had a crush on him and she was only following her parents' method

After that, Klaus explains to her why this can never happen, and how he's flattered but almost dying was definitely not it

Klaus and Tracy ended up being best friends afterwards and they never spoke of that incident ever again even though Dwight sometimes teased them about it

Character Introduction: Mia Gottfried

Background Story

Note: this background story contains elements of heavy depression, death, sexual favors, hatred, manipulation and it's fairly long.

Mia was 15 when she met Frank for the first time at high school, she was a cheerleader, and he was utterly popular, a football player, they instantly fell in love, they were the perfect couple that everyone envied and adored, they were inseparable, a true relationship goals, they weren't only lovers but also best friends, they had an understanding on a different level.

One thing led to another and Mia found herself pregnant at 17, she wanted to abort the child, she almost did, but Frank found out about her plan and stopped her, he begged her to let the child live, he told her that he would raise him himself and she wouldn't have to be involved if she didn't want to, she decided to keep the baby.

Mia's pregnancy was quite difficult, she felt awful most of the time, constantly throwing up, visiting hospital on regular bases, she hated every second of it, and what made things worse is that her parents decided to kick her out for being pregnant out of wedlock, she had to move in with Frank and his family, they lived in his small room, and she hated it, shortly after that, they moved into Frank parents' attic, Frank had made it livable, it was larger and definitely looked better but still, she always felt cramped.

When she due, she was rushed to the hospital with excruciating pain, she had to go through a c-section and almost died in the birthing process, making her dislike motherhood even further.

When she returned home, she was unable to leave the bed for two months due to postpartum depression, she barely held her son, Klaus was mostly cared for by Frank and Frank's parents during that time, mostly Frank's parents since Frank was cramping three jobs, trying to save up to get a proper apartment and finish his education, he wanted to give his little family a worthy life.

After a year and a half, Frank and Mia got married, Frank was also able to get the family out of the attic and into a small, two bedroom apartment, he was mostly taking care of Klaus as Mia's depression kept coming and going, there would be times when she was unable to lift a finger, those were the hardest for both of them, especially since Frank couldn't stay home with her and take care of her, he had to study, work and take care of baby Klaus.

After finishing his bachelor degree, Frank landed a job that made them a good living, he would buy Mia the fanciest things he could, it made her happy, even if temporarily, so he had to work more in order to afford the things that would make his wife smile, he even offered her to return to school when Klaus was four but she refused, saying she wouldn't be able to enjoy the experience or relate to the younger generations of students, deciding to dedicate her time to her family instead and being a stay at home wife.

She was a good mother regardless of her never bonding or having a connection with Klaus, she made sure he was well fed, clean, rested, protected, academically accomplished, she put the time and effort to give him a normal childhood even if the two of them felt like walking on egg shelves with around one another, something that she noticed never happened with Klaus and Frank, it made her resent the situation even further.

When Klaus was five, Frank admitted to Mia that he cheated on her a couple of times with men, he admitted to her that he is gay, and that he suspected it back in high-school, that's why he insisted on having Klaus, knowing that Mia is the only woman he's comfortable enough to be sexually vulnerable around, and that Klaus might be his only chance at being a father.

Mia felt angry, she felt like she missed so many opportunities in life because of Frank's cowardliness, that she was trapped in a life that she hated because of him, however, she also felt relieved, his confession was the perfect excuse for her to be free, she forgave her husband but also asked for divorce which Frank completely understood, she kept the apartment, and they agreed that Klaus would move in with Frank and she would have him every other weekend, they also agreed that Klaus would stay with her for a couple of months until Frank figures a few things out.

By the time Frank was able to take Klaus and carry on with their agreement, Klaus was estranged from his father, he was clinging more to Mia, even though it was an inconvenience since Mia was building a life without him, she was already dating a new man, spending nights out, so they came up with a plan, a bonding trip for Klaus and Frank so they can reconnect.

Once Frank and Klaus travelled to the USA, Mia and her boyfriend at the time, Eike, went on a cruise, they were mid-cruise when the apocalypse happened, but they managed to land on the shores of the United States unharmed.

Eike and Mia found a safe community and lived there for a couple of years, they even got married and she was the happiest, so in love, always smiling, feeling protected and safe, the apocalypse felt like a paradise to her, until one day, a group of four raided that community and killed everyone, they murdered Eike in front of her, she sobbed but she also bargained with the group to let her live, and if Mia was one thing, she was convincing and sneaky.

Mia managed to develop a relationship with the leader of the group, John Fisher, it was beneficial, she gave him sex and he kept her alive, he was a menace, abusive and generally awful to her, eventually, John got her pregnant and when that happened, she became indispensable, she became part of the group, a person with a say in different matters.

Nine months later, she gave birth to her son, Arthur Fisher, Arther's birth was nothing like Klaus's, it was easy, it was painless, and she immediately felt a bond with him, he gave her a reason to live, and became the reason for her to smile, even John started treating her better when he saw Arthur, and that man was many things but a sympathetic, gentleman was not one of them, Arthur brought the best in him.

When her son was five, John heard about a place called The Haven, he wanted to raid it for supplies, the group would scout the heavily guarded building and try to seek weak points, only this place wasn't like the community where she lived with Eike, their snooping didn't go unnoticed, as they suddenly found themselves surrounded by the guards and held down at a gunpoint.

She learned about the two men who were in charge, Troy and Dwight, Troy was the one who issued for the group to be killed, the guards immediately obeyed without question, while Dwight pleaded for Mia's life since she's a mother and had a five years old with her, Troy eventually caved in and allowed her and her son into the Haven as long as she makes herself useful, and she did, she started working at the laundry unite and help around, earning her keep, her life was going well, until...
