Hello guys! I’m Niall, and this is my intro for Jacob Morgan :) Enjoy!

Jacob Morgan is the son of Richard and Samantha Morgan, one of the most prestigious families in all of the US before the outbreaks. Jacob managed to survive the worst of the outbreaks in his families vacation mansion cabin in a city around Scottsdale. Jacob bumped into one of their scavengers when they snuck into his house and tried to steal from him, and after a short brawl he was offered a chance to join the group instead of living in the isolated mansion. Something he eagerly accepted.

His father ran one of the most prestigious private guarding agencies in the world, so Jacob grew up knowing his fairshare of info about combat and guns. Jacob’s always been more of a sniper, since he hated getting up close to his targets, but now and days he doesn’t always have the choice.

INTRO POST TIME MOFOS !!!!!

eli. eliiiiii. elly.. atty’ bro... my third son..... oops....................

as always, im a ho for plotting and will be throwing him violently in people’s directions. more info to come as i get more of a grip on him but here’s this monster

full name is elijah but he hasn’t gone by elijah since it was put on his birth certificate 

was raised by a combination of nannies and his grandparents-- his parents had v little involvement in his upbringing after they got rich quick. something that he’s highkey salty about but has convinced himself doesn’t matter. still loves those deadbeats 

can be a smartass if you tilt your head to the right angle. it’s more of a subtle ‘yeah ok karen’ kind of smartass-ery. the “o im definitely judging you right now” kind of smartassness. it has gotten him punched before.

protective over atty but he also recognizes she ain’t a saint. like he’s either “god what a brat i stg i’m going to just leave her here” or “don’t even look at my little sister or i’ll fight”... think of the “ho don’t do it” - “oh my god” meme... 

hasn’t seen atty for most of his life, though. like he’s p sure she’s dead rn / somewhere off in another state causing trouble for people. 

he played the organ at church, which was really the only reason he went at all -- it sorta contributed to his reserved disposition. although he isn’t v religious 

HAS A TEMPER LIKE A BAD ONE but 8/10 times will hold his tongue and not outwardly react. he will hold grudges like a motherfucker tho don’t doubt that. mostly he just bottles up all that rage and lets it boil into a nice, warm resentment stew :) 

he’s a skinny / small guy so he isn’t v intimidating ( 5′ 5″ ain’t that bad but still he doesn’t like it) but that’s mostly used to his advantage. when he was little he was p wussy about fighting / he’d rather just tell an adult than actually get his lil butt kicked. now he’s just smart about how he reacts / acts in situations where he’s being threatened

quiet guy for the most part until you get to know him. thick southern accent which u wouldn’t expect from looking at him but damn it’s there.. rlly tho look at him the bean

has taken to covering himself in blood and a hoodie when just ghosting around so the zombos / walkers don’t pick up on the fact that he’s alive

sometimes spraypaints buildings bc apparently he thinks he’s Apocalypse Banksy smh... majority of it is just nonsensical stuff tho. partially him trying to leave his mark on a dead planet

has a doggo named bosco who makes that difficult. bosco is a 5 yr old sheepdog mix who eli found at a gas station like four months ago. eli will say he hates bosco / “he just wouldn’t stop following me”. eli actually really loves bosco even tho bosco is a lil dumb at times

has morals more or less. definitely has shot / killed someone by now, though, and he doesn’t feel really guilty about it. (they were tryin to steal his stuff, he had v little as it was) 

the last group he was in kinda tore itself apart form the inside, and he got to watch everyone turn on each other and he ended up leaving on not-so-good terms. 

aka he shot the patriarch of the family who’s place they were staying at in the calf then stole his truck. truck ran out of gas in texas and he walked to amarillo where he stayed for a while

left amarillo looking for more resources

the rest is being written / plotted

BASIC INFORMATION

LEGAL NAME: Alexander Reed. NICKNAME[S]: Alex, Reed AGE: 30 DATE OF BIRTH: April 2th. GENDER | SPECIES: Cis Male l human PLACE OF BIRTH: New York City.  CURRENT LIVING PLACE: One of the minute men’s outpost. SPOKEN LANGUAGES: English EDUCATION: Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering OCCUPATION: Scavenger (former soldier) ALLEGIANCE: Minute Men CRIMINAL RECORD: None. DRINK | SMOKE | DRUGS: YES | NO | NO

Alex was 15 when his father, a fireman, died in the 9/11 incident, leaving his wife alone with four kids and a part-time job. The loss affected him in many ways; Alex and his older brother suddenly had to become adults to help their mom with their younger siblings, but it was also what drove him into the army.

Alex thought it was a way to honor his father and to make sure other children wouldn’t lose their parents the way he did, so when he finished college, he made the decision to become a soldier. What he hadn’t expected, though, is that the war would take so much from who he was. 

Alex always went back to the battlefield, no matter how many pieces of himself he felt were missing. He felt like he owed it to his father and to everyone else. 

He reached the breaking point during his last few months as a soldier, when he had to kill his best friend; they had a pact that if one of them was captured by the enemy, the other would shoot him immediately so he wouldn’t go through torture. 

Alex was sent home and not too long after that he was diagnosed with depression and PTSD. Although the first one was cured with support from his friends, therapy and meds, his PTSD was chronic. 

A few weeks later, the outbreak happened and now here he is. He went looking for his family but didn’t find anyone, except for his older brother, who had turned into a walker. Alex had to shoot him. 

Alex is fearless, not necessarily in a good way; in fact, he simply doesn’t care if he dies or not, as long as everyone else is safe. He’d take a bullet for a stranger if he had to, and he’s not one for careful planning. He’s more about just going in and doing what he has to do. 

He’s got a kind heart and cares more about protecting people than anything else, but he has way too many issues of his own. Alex was already broken before the apocalypse, and it just got worse. 

Alex can be more cruel than necessary when he feels threatened, it’s more of a reflex than anything; which leads to him being kind of ruthless with people he finds when he is out there.

BASICALLY THAT’S IT so if u read until here, thank you!! If you want to plot, just hit me up. I have a specific page for that in my blog but don’t feel limited by what’s written there! I’ll probably say yes to whatever you want to do tbh. 

[lcrii-blog]

Hey guys I’m Nina and if I haven’t messaged you to plot , you should msg me bc I would love to plot!! So I read the writing tips thing and it was pretty helpful so here is half of Lori. It’ll probably be updated soon and also I’m on mobile so sorry for the format. I’m really looking forward to meeting your characters and interacting with y'all !!! (Also fun fact I’m in love with the Walking Dead hence the name) 

NAME: lorraine l’adanovic NICKNAMES: lori, la AGE: twenty-five PREV. OCCUPATION: nurse CURR. OCCUPATION: leader GROUP: the alliance TRAITS: +loyal, +hard working, -stubborn, -selfless 

HISTORY:

French blood on American soil, Lorraine Anne L'Adanovic was born in Chicago on the third of November. She was the eldest of five kids, her mother a surgeon and her father a carpenter.

Since she was a kid she’s been very self less and caring. Her mother was always at work and her father was always at the bar. She took care of her siblings and put herself in second place. Her siblings were her first priority.

She matured quickly, as a teenager she was considered as the ‘mom friend’ in her group. She was also quite a leader. She knew when it was a good time to be feared or to be loved. She was good like that. She could understand most people’s concerns and thinking, it came easy to her.

Due to her caring nature she chose to pursue the career of a nurse and it always broke her heart whenever she lost a patient. She decided to volunteer in Scottsdale three years after working in Chicago

She lost her parents to the earthquake and she lost her siblings to the disease. It broke her heart so bad but she refused to let anyone see that. She built a wall and a tough exterior, that looks as if she’s glued together on the outside rather than broken on the inside.

After she lost her siblings she started The Alliance and became the leader. Everyone in that group was under her care and she would sacrifice herself for any of them.

GOALS: 

her main goal is to survive without losing her humanity. Without turning villainous. Without losing her mind. Without losing her group. EDIT: her other goal is to get the Group closer, make it more like a family instead of people just living on other people.

FLAWS: 

She sucks at making decisions (unless under pressure, the her mind will run crazy) so that’s why she relies heavily on the groups advisor.

STRENGHTS:

she’s pretty good at being calm during stressful situations, as a nurse she was in a lot of them so she’s used to it.

GOD okay so here’s just a few lil facts about elijah just to give you a taste of the kind of dude that he is:

he was raised in britain, as his mother is british while his father is afro-barbadian. they moved to the states when his mother got a job offer  ( she’s a real estate agent ) and to seek better education for elijah, who had just finished high school ( or, secondary school ). as a result of their move to america being relatively recent, he still has hints of his english accent, though most of it is gone and he’s picked up quite well on american slang

elijah majored in journalism, but as he had trouble finding a job where he could use his degree straight out of college and didn’t want to rely on his parents, he became a mailman and has been for the past two years.

personality wise, elijah is a little closed off. he will warm to people eventually, but it takes a long time to get him there. this is partially due to the fact that he left what very few friends he had behind in britain, and had difficulty making more when he moved over to the states. this behavior has been heightened even MORE SO now that...you know...zombies. so initially he’s going to come off as a little hesitant, if not unfriendly and distrustful.

that’s all for now !! but i’m super excited to be here and write with you guys !!

[mcmillxn-blog]

I GOTTA HEAD OUT TO A FRIEND’S HOUSE SOON B U T here is.... our mad scientist: DOCTOR LOGAN MCMILLAN

he is... o boy does he have Priorities. he’s a pretty normal seemin guy at first glance, maybe a bit too helpful, a bit too inquisitive. once you get past the first layer of ‘overly friendly neighbor’ he’s.... geez lousie. 

was a pathologist who was VERY good at his job, and has dedicated many many many hours to the study of infectious diseases. his speciality was air-born pathogens

his wife was turned in the first sweep of the virus, as a first responder during the earthquake who stayed with the survivors in the hospital. 

he’s not over it and probably never will be

got scooped up by the gov right away to help figure out a game plan, but that thing fell through once it became apparent the disease was spreading quicker than they could even think to combat it

very mad about that, not over it either

left his kids (2 daughters) with his mom in phoenix. ask him about them & he’ll get pissy 

came to scottsdale because he heard rumors about groups which meant he had a specimen pool to work from (one that his family wouldn’t hear about)

not a ‘bad’ guy in a sense?? he’s awful, yeah, but he isn’t sadistic, he genuinely wants to help people / find a cure... but in doing that, he’s stopped seeing people as people?? now they’re just subjects, and if he looses a few while trying to get toward his end goal, then they died for a good cause. just punch him in the face

he’s set up in an old medicare facility, i’ll mark it on a map later. scarily organized, very much a neat freak

has  an old animal control van like a creep

[skylercohen]

hey guys! here is a little bit about skyler!

she is a military brat. her dad was in the army and so she moved around a lot. when she was six her family landed in scottsdale. skye was chilling out there having a good time. a day before her sixteenth birthday she found out that her dad had died overseas. she and her mama were very very very sad about this.

she loved her dad a lot and was always worrying about him. her dad raised her to be proud of the country and to defend it. they were always really close.

when she turned 18 she enlisted in the army at her mother's displeasure. her mom didn’t want her to because she was afraid of losing her daughter. she would come back to town whenever she had leave.

she came back to town about sixth months ago and was supposed to leave to go back overseas a week after the outbreak started which means she was going to be stuck in her home town watching it fall apart.

as for her personality before all the outbreak happened she would have been a caring person. she was always a worrier and wanted to help people. she was always friendly but still was able to know who to trust and who not to. she was always protective over the people that she cared about.

after the outbreak happened her personality is going to shift to how she is when she is deployed. she is gonna be really hard headed and really won't listen to anyone else bc she won't trust them unless they are a part of the survivors.

here are a few connections that i would love for her to have, but im also open to any other connection!:

partners-in-crime:  these two stick by the other’s side when in trouble and were inseparable. after the outbreak she will do anything that she can to make sure that your character is safe, and is still alive.

childhood friends: since she had lived in scottsdale all of her life i would love for her to have a few close friends that she grew up with. they would have been there for her through the death of her dad. she would have also told them about how she was going to enlist when she turned eighteen. after joining the army i imagine that whenever she could come back home she would always invite them over and catch up on everything that she missed. after the outbreak she would be super worried about them and be actively searching for them whenever she could.

[cyrusthurman-blog]

finally makin an intro post / some facts abt cyrus for y’all

first of all, regarding him as a LEADER, POST-APOCALYPSE ;

his alignment is ‘lawful evil’. pre-apocalypse it was more neutral, and definitely not lawful. but since there are no longer established rules to follow NOW, but he still values a sense of order and DOES have convictions and values, he’s a stickler for his own rules. they don’t change. gotta have a sense of order when the world’s ending, right? ( there’s one quote i find relevant: “if god is evil he’s lawful evil” )

cyrus does actually care about his group. not as much for each individual person, since as a leader remaining objective is important, but he cares about the STRUCTURE of his group. the reason he’s more evil than neutral is because ‘doing what he needs to do’ doesn’t make him feel very guilty afterwards. in fact, it doesn’t bother him at all. he sleeps fine. power and order are more important than being a compassionate leader. but he’s not cruel to the point where it’s unnecessary and he obviously does care about the longevity and survival of his group. so, if he has to kill a random traveler or one member of his group causing problems, that keeps THE REST of the group from starving. to him? that’s a win-win. eradicating trouble/potential trouble and keeping everyone else alive as a result.

annnnnd a bit about HIS PAST ;

he mostly grew up with his uncle and his mother in el reno, oklahoma. his mother actually cheated on cyrus’ father with cyrus’ uncle. cyrus’ family was extremely unstable, though. his father was generally abusive, cyrus’ mother was a prostitute with a drug addiction, and cyrus’ uncle was the one with more money. ultimately, that’s why his mom wanted to be with him. turns out he was an asshole, too, though. cyrus doesn’t like talking about his family, we’ll put it that way.

he went to college for the first year, then dropped out. he’d always hung around “the wrong crowd” and it’s how he got into gunrunning. his uncle was the one who taught him how to use a gun originally.

eventually, cyrus ended up moving around, becoming rather notorious as an arms trafficker. he was involved in general organized crime, and was definitely one of the higher-ups when it came to guns. he was the provider, but eventually stopped doing the dirty work himself and became more of an overseer of it. being involved in organized crime definitely changed him a lot as a person, it’s where he first killed another human being and realized how much he liked the thrill of having power and being the “opposing authority”. 

a list of all the places he’s lived in case anyone’s curious: el reno, oklahoma. various places in texas. acapulco, mexico. cork, ireland. chicago, illinois. new york city, new york. sacramento, california. los angeles, california. denver, colorado. munich, germany. saint petersburg, russia. phoenix, arizona. and, of course, scottsdale.

other than english, he's fluent in spanish. he knows enough russian to understand/comprehend it, but he only speaks broken/some russian.

on the side, he owned his company for money-laundering purposes. however, it wasn’t a very legit company, and was ( at first, when he was still in the small arms trade ) just a front for the gunrunning. it became more legitimate once he moved on from the small arms trade, but was mostly run by a close friend of his. it was a small, local bar at first, but ended up becoming an extremely popular and exclusive nightclub. it was based in los angeles.

[lyrabarnes]

hello, it’s your favorite piece of trash is back aka bella if you didn’t know yet. as for this little cutie her name is lyra, and here is a little bit about her:

lyra here is super smart like genius level iq. 

she was always the best in her class. for her home life she grew up with her mother. her father left her mother at a young age and never came back. her mother was rarely every home and she came home to an empty house.  

she graduated high school early and went to college immediately. she was accepted into harvard with a full ride. she has a phd in bio chemistry. 

since she left home she and her mother haven’t spoken even though lyra has reached out to her several times.

as for her personality she is an adorable nerd. 

she loves her work, and loves to do puzzles. 

she spends most of her time working, and if she’s not working then she’s reading. she is a do gooder and she always tries to follow the rules because she thinks that they’ve been set up for a good reason. 

with the outbreak lyra has been itching to get her hands on the one of the zombies because she’s been extremely interested in seeing how the virus has caused these changes. 

[adalinebliss]

hey everyone! it’s bella again! i would love to plot with all of you but for now here is a little bit about addy:

addy here moved over to the town when she was 13. she moved in with her big sister. she was always super dedicated to school, and devoted all of her time to getting good grade. she always volunteered, and was always the best in her class. she is currently in her senior year, and is really excited to go off to college next year (though she won’t get the chance).

she loves to dance and is a skilled gymnast. when she isn’t studying for school she is most likely at the gym. 

she had a black cat named nyx that she got when she first moved to the town because her sister wanted to get her something to keep her company while she worked. 

as for her personality she is a really kind and loyal person. she wants to help people, and tries to see the good in everyone. she is very trusting and is really protective over the people that she cares about.

[abelreeves-blog]

yoyoyoyo im robbie i also play jamie ( @expirie ) and this is abel !! heres some info on him

he was born in savannah, georgia and was an only child. his father put a lot of pressure on him, especially to join the military, although his mother disagreed with it and would rather have him go to college and find a different career.

his parents got divorced when abel was 14. it didn’t effect him much until later, when the divorce became worse and there was a lot of family drama and custody cases. he lived with his mother during the week and stayed with his father during weekends.

in high school, he graduated with a GED. when he was 18 he got married, and it was ultimately a pretty stupid idea, as they were both young. the marriage was pretty messy and neither of abel’s parents or his wife’s parents agreed with it.

around the age of 19 he joined the military, specifically on active duty in the army. he moved around a few times, to other countries as well, ultimately ending up in arizona when he was 36. that year, he was dishonorably discharged for sedition, although it was a minor case.

after that, he got a job as a locksmith and opted to stay in arizona. by then, he was already divorced, his wife got sick of them moving around so much and there was no longer a connection there, not to mention all the fights. they had stayed married for only about six years, so they got divorced when abel was 24.

he also has a slight alcohol dependence. he’s been trying to quit and has been sober for about a year. he also has a dog ( a german shepherd + doberman mix that he got at a shelter ) named ‘dixie’. he takes the dog pretty much everywhere with him if he can, and he’s trained super well. he probably doesn’t care abt anything more than dixie tbh

[charlottehewitt]

hey everyone it’s your favorite trashcan bella back with another character! i would love to plot with all of you but for now here is a little about charlotte:

first thing about her was that she was born in south carolina. her family lived up in the mountains, and they were super close. they always went hunting, and her dad was the sheriff of the town, because of that she decided to join the fbi because she wanted to help people. 

she tends to be really respectful unless she is in a bad mood or unless she was insulted.

she got placed in the town a few years ago, and since then she has loved it. 

as for her personality she is a pretty guarded and sarcastic person. she does like to have fun, and tries to keep things lighthearted. she tends to act like nothing bothers her but she does take things very seriously if it’s important. 

[aidenkcne-blog]

ayyyy friends. this is aiden, he’s a thief and ethan’s partner in literal crime. specifically robberies, but he isn’t above violence ok he’s a total prick a lil bit. if you would like to plot, let me know!

aiden grew up in a very well endowed family. his dad was an entrepreneur and his mom was a successful lawyer. his grandparents were land owners. 

as an only child of such an ambitious family, he grew up having a lot of pressure on him. they sheltered him, enforcing curfews, grounding him whenever he got poor grades, the works.

it wasn’t until he was thirteen that he started fighting these things. innocent to the cruelty of the world, aiden was easily influenced. an older kid convinced him to come out with him, they were having a great time, and then he convinced him to steal something. it was only a cheap, disposable camera, he’d told himself. it was nothing. but the rush he felt was not nothing. for the first time in his life, he was excited. his blood was pumping. his heart was rushing at a million miles an hour. best of all, he didn’t get caught.

the next day he and this boy went out again. aiden stole again. and then the next day, and the next.

before long, he was taking things left right and centre. but he needed something more, something that was meaningful.

aiden fell deeper and deeper into this darker world. his family had turned their backs on him, he wasn’t allowed at family dinners anymore, and he felt entirely alone. that was until he met ethan, and quickly, the two boys were good friends of the same breed: thieves.

they had a great partnership. they were stealing from banks before long, and aiden wouldn’t hesitate to take a bullet for him, and he had no doubt that ethan felt the same way. it was the first time aiden had ever felt truly accepted in his life. and best of all? they did what he truly loved together.

to say that aiden was addicted to the fast paced lifestyle would be an understatement. not only did he steal, but he also trained hard in order to fight hand to hand, with blades and to shoot exceptionally. violence didn’t come naturally to him, but it did aid in what he loved to do, and the world he’d enveloped himself inside of. 

when he isn’t planning for a heist, he’s usually drinking, flirting, or attempting to hustle someone. the guy has no morals or boundaries honestly (ok that’s not true but !!!)

however, all of that came to a very dramatic end. on a job gone wrong, ethan and him got caught. his best friend managed to get away, but aiden did not. the cops got him and he ended up in prison. they couldn’t charge him on anything big so he was only in jail for a couple of months before his mom got him out. he might be the pariah, but his family does love him still.

and now he’s back home in arizona, living alone and waiting for his next rush. he has full intentions of trying to get on a better path, but he’s just itching for his next heist, and it’s only a matter of time. 

personality wise aiden’s very intuitive and perceptive of people. he goes with his gut whenever the situation allows. he’s artful and generally likes to think of himself as ‘the man with the plan.’ however, he’s very manipulative and is willing to use people to achieve his means. he usually has an angle.

that being said, he has a soft side. hello ??? he loves ethan more than his own life and that says a lot considering the guy thinks he was put on this earth to bless it. he also does have a deep sense of honour, like he isn’t going to steal from some homeless person or someone that’s an ally/friend of his. they’re to be defended and cherished p much.

wanted plots (pre outbreak):

*lady gaga voice* bad romance !!!: this is someone that aiden really loved and they did not have a healthy relationship. although they were good together, they rose hell. they were reckless, thought that they were untouchable because of their love and their relationship suffered because of it. they probably stole together, were on the run at one point, and gambled their way through the nights they didn’t have a heist planned. it ended badly, most likely. 

police officer: someone that’s been trying to get aiden behind bars for a long time, possibly the person who put him away the one time and his mom got him out of it.

close friend: someone that aiden trusts and has a close connection with. can be plotted more!

childhood friend: someone that he met when he was closer with his family, likely they have money as well and were at dinners and things like that together. they’d be shocked to see who he is now!

using you:  someone that aiden is just straight up using. could be because of their money/power, for sex, ect. has to be plotted more depending on the character!

one night stand: straightforward. aiden’s a dick and would probably ditch right after it’s over lmao. bastard.

[jacksonfitzgerald]

hey everyone here is a little bit about this attractive man:

he grew up the oldest of three. he was born in brigton, england. he always loved to spend time with his siblings. when he was growing up he always loved to learn more about things, and was always super curious.

he realized he wanted to become a writer in secondary school, and decided to apply to columbia. he got accepted so he moved to new york. since then he has moved around a lot before finally settling down here. 

 as for his personality he is a pretty friendly person, btu can be a sarcastic at time.

[avcrykane]

here is a little bit about avery:

growing up she was always really kind and innocent. she always wanted to help people. she always made friends really easily and everyone always loved her. 

when she got into high school she was the most populor girl in her school. she had a great life and she wouldn’t trade it for anything. that all changed one night after a party. she and her friends had been coming back from a party when the friend crashed the car into an oncoming one. everyone but she was killed in the accident. 

after that she started spiraling feeling guilty for being the only one who survived. to cope with her guilt she began drinking and doing drugs. she did everything that she could to try to forget that night. 

she never got any help for her problems, and only ever talks about that night if she is extremely drunk. 

as for her personality she is a friendly person. working at the bar is something that she enjoys doing.
