( WILLA HOLLAND, CIS FEMALE, SHE/HER ) —— [ ALYX ANDROMEDA “ANDI” REISS ] is a [ TWENTY-THREE ] year old that has been part of the [ LONERS ] for [ TWO ] weeks. The people in Boulder say that [ SHE ] is [ MERCIFUL ] but also [ AUDACIOUS ]. Lets see what this wasteland has in store for them.

okay so hi there! i’m daisy and this lil’ peach is andi, or alyx, or andromeda, or loser, or...honestly she’d probably respond to just about anything?? anyways, i’ll try to keep this short and sweet!! just hit that like button or send me an im and we’ll get to plotting something ( or at least trying to ) <3

andi was born and raised in el paso, texas, though most of her summers before were spent right here in boulder - her parents, aunts, and uncles would round the kids up and leave them alone together for the entire summer while they went out travelling. because of this she could easily have local acquaintances/sort-of-friends from before.

she is the youngest of five children, with three ( now two ) sisters and a brother. she was always closer to her brother than her sisters, and she had been travelling with him - they were separated on the road, which had caused her more distress than watching her sister die.

she started in a group of six people - only two ( herself and a friend of her brother’s ) that she knows of have made it. 

she’s got a knack for several combat styles, favoring hand-to-hand or melee. she knows how to use a variety of guns, as well as a bow, but ranged weapons aren’t her thing unless she’s hunting.

the stress of the journey has caused her to remain distant since arriving in boulder. she didn’t seek out her family, didn’t try and stop the other person she’d been with when they decided to join a group, hasn’t made any move to join any of the groups herself. she’s just now starting to get to the point that she’s considering looking into allying herself with others.

i’m terrible and know there’s more but honestly if you have any sort of questions i’d be more than happy to answer them??

( JADE TAILOR, FEMALE, SHE/HER ) ----- [ TALIA EPSTEIN ] is a [ THIRTY TWO ] year old that has been part of the [ REBELS ] for [ TWO ] years. The people in Boulder say that [ SHE ] is [ COURAGEOUS ] but also [ IMPULSIVE ]. Let’s see what this wasteland has in store for them. 

Talia’s biography can be found here.

TL;DR: Talia fits the punk rock’n roller bass guitarist character archetype; she has a full arm sleeve with geometric flower designs which you can see here. Hella bi, courageous, fights for others who can’t for themselves, specializes in training other women, loves gardening, works as a mechanical engineer when she’s not on guard duty. It basically means she designs cool, practical shit to make your lives a little easier, especially when it comes to accessibility. 

She’s the kind of girl that likes to shoot the shit with people and have fun with her life? Drinks, smokes, brings men & women home to her bed, the whole nine yards. Not to a self-destructive degree -- she knows not to go too far. But there’s always the possibility she’ll get sucked into her dark urges, so who knows?

BIOGRAPHY

was born and raised in denver, which means he’s always had a love for colorado.

ben’s the oldest of two siblings, his sister being ten years younger than him.

raised by two v loving parents who gave the pair everything they could have every wanted.

however, his mother did from breast cancer when he was 12 and that heavily impacted his father.

causing the older male to teach ben that having feelings wasn’t a good thing and that ben should bottle up everything because he wouldn’t get hurt that way.

something that ben took to heart and kept with him all throughout school.

speaking of, ben did really well in school, graduated at the top of his class and decided he wanted to go into the medical field.

so he did, went to medical school and started learning how to become a surgeon & to his surprise, he was really frickin good at it.

& along the way, he happened to fall head over heels for another student who was there to be a registered nurse. something his father frowned upon due to what’d happened to ben’s mother, but it was something his father quickly began to accept because he saw just how good the two were for each other.

ben ended up proposing to her about a year after they started dating & she said yes so they had a small courthouse wedding surrounded by loved ones... and a few months later they found out that she was pregnant.

this drove ben to be even more dedicated to his job because he wanted to be able to raise his son like his parents had raised him.

nine months later, along came his son and ben’s world quickly started revolving around that baby.

but all of that came to a screeching halt the second the virus hit.

benjamin knew that they had to get out of a populated city, so he packed his wife, his son, his father and his sister up and they were gone by sunlight.

however, his father and sister ended up getting separated from them and he didn’t know where they could have gone, even though he searched for days to find them.

things were okay for the first few month or so, they’d taken enough food to last from their home and the store but with an infant, keeping those supplies in stock wasn’t the easiest thin in the world and soon enough, ben found himself having to go out and search for formula and things like that.

those trips usually went pretty smooth, making sure his wife and son were safe before leaving them for a few hours. however, the one time he happened to be gone longer than a few hours was the one time they weren’t safe at all.

he came back to find both of them gone, something that hit him in the chest so hard that he sat in that buildings for nearly two days just waiting and hoping they’d just moved to somewhere more safe.

but all the hoping and waiting wouldn’t make up for the fact that they’d been taken from him.

this caused him to start being reckless, to go down this dangerous path that he figured would get him killed.

but not only did he do that, he started to have to figure out how to survive on his own. he didn’t have anyone, which meant he’d have to figure out how to shoot a gun, how to hold a knife, how to protect and fend for himself.

so he did, finding guns and ammo that’d been left behind by people, practicing by lining up the numerous alcohol bottles he’d killed off days before and firing into them.

sure enough, he seemed to be a natural with that and with knives.. or a natural for violence in general. he liked the feeling, and it wasn’t something he was going to deny anymore.

& he didn’t deny it one bit. if he met people, he’d resort to violence and threats faster then he could blink an eye because he didn’t trust them, didn’t trust anyone but himself with the feelings he now kept bottled up.

fast forward to about five years later, ben runs into a group that calls themselves the heathens and they instantly catch his interest.

offering him food, water, anything that was needed and gave him purpose.. something he hadn’t had in years. not since he lost his wife and son.

he took the offer almost instantly and has been a guard for them ever since.

PERSONALITY.

hides behind a wall of sarcasm, cockiness, anger and lust.

doesn’t really care to get to know people and had a tendency to push people away before they get too close to him.

is …. stubborn as hell and refuses to ask for help with anything.

has a motorcycle and it’s his baby..

a hot mess

fluent in a lot of languages, picked them up so that he didn’t need translators at meetings with patients.

lowkey worried that people will figure out that he’s not the complete asshole role that he plays on a daily basis and is actually a very hurt person bc if people started realizing that, he’d have to start feeling again and tbh, he don’t wanna do that.

is the biggest flirt you will ever meet??

will try to either get u to drink w him or take ur alcohol.. there's a v thin line between the two options tbh.

super, super intelligent but keeps that on the dl ?

he cares… god he cares so much about people and the world but he pretends to hate everything because it’s easier than letting people in.

is a highkey hoe but he also keeps it on the dl

super into keeping fit as it’s a way to keep his mind from wandering onto subjects such as his wife and son. so he’ll like ?? find random shit to use as a homemade gym ??

still wears his wedding ring but wears it on his middle finger so that know one knows the real story behind it.

also keeps a photo of his wife at baby boy in his leather jacket.

actually super loyal and caring once you’re able to see get past his wall??which is really hard to do due to his job but if u do it he’ll cherish u.

has a bad habit of smoking so he looks for packs of cigs like ?? everywhere he goes.

is actually super open to teaching other people how to fight / use weapons because it's fun for him but acts like it'll kill him to do so.

is a burnt cupcake who has really good intentions but has horrible execution skills.

HEADCANONS

Benjamin was raised solely by his father, who taught him that most emotions were bad things to feel or to talk about. Meaning that he usually hides all other emotions other than anger and lust. Which means that most people see him as an asshole, something that Benjamin is actually fully okay with because in his mind, having people view him in that light is far easier than having to address and/or deal with his feelings. But that doesn’t mean that Benjamin is unable to feel any other emotions other than anger or lust, but he does keep a wall up around him that not a lot of people can break down. If you can break past that wall, though, you’ll find that Ben is far from the ‘asshole’ character he likes to play.

( TW: mentions of death ) Before the virus broke out, Benjamin was actually going to medical school, hoping to be one of the best surgeons in Colorado, maybe even the United States. However, the virus took his wife and son from him and it caused him to break, causing him to give up on the little bit of hope he had left and away from the 'helper’ path he’d be heading down. Instead he found himself becoming extremely reckless, loving everything about violence and danger. He started doing things that his old self would have hated and not caring about the fact that it was risky, that he could easily get hurt or lose his own life in the process. But in all honesty? He doesn’t care about his own well-being, letting the grief that still sits deep in his soul cause him to drift towards dangerous things.

( TW: mentions of weapons. ) Due to him being on his own for a few years before he found The Heathens, Benjamin had to learn how to survive in the toughest ways possible. Meaning that whenever he ran into other survivors, he rarely trusted any of them and if it came to it, he’d resort to violence to get what he needed to survive, food, weapons, whatever it was. Not to mention the fact that he had to teach himself how to use knives, guns and anything else that could have been considered a weapon, how to hunt for the food needed to survive and how to deal with the infected anytime he happened to stumble upon them. After a few years of that, though, he started figuring out that maybe the life of survival and violence was something that he was rather good at, and something he really enjoyed as well. Which was the beginning of him turning from the 'helper’ he wanted to be before the virus hit to someone who’s actually rather selfish.

( RAMI MALEK, CISMALE, HE/HIM ) —— [ ADAM KASSEM ] is a [ THIRTY-SIX ] year old that has been part of the [ ALLIES ] for [ SIX ] years. They have been working as a [ FARMER / LEADER ]. The people in Boulder say that [ HE ] is [ CONTEMPLATIVE ] but also [ ENIGMATIC ]. Lets see what this wasteland has in store for them. 

If you came here for a Short™ intro, you can to the wrong place. Okay, but really, I’ll try to keep this short for y’all because I am sick of my ass bein’ extra ! Anyways, I swear I have a bio written for Adam, but it is as ancient as my RP career and I need to switch it up because the timeline from his past story ? Totally different ! Also, I have actually been writing Adam for about four or so years now so if he seems familiar ? He is ! 

quick Facts™ about him

An actual army brat. He was born in Los Angeles and moved a lot after that. City after city, he just got used to being the #weirdkid that had no friends, but Colorado was the one state that he had real friends, so he likes to think of it as the city where he belongs. 

His parents were ? Oppressive and too serious for him. He used to be a happy dude and really loved being outgoing and fun. Really, though, his main thing is plants. Dude loves plants and nature. He will love you forever if you just watch the stars with him or help him in his garden. Also ? Lowkey freakishly smart, just not witty.

He can be ? Very callous and cold at times, but it’s not with everyone. Really, he loves his Allies and he would give his life to them. Truthfully, they are his one real weakness and he loves being their leader. At the same time, he isn’t as friendly with outsiders. He tries his best to be civil and maintain good relationships for the sake of peace, but he isn’t a pushover with people that he’s not familiar with. 

If any of you know Adam from previous RPs, you also know that he has a dark side to him. He’s a good person and tries his best to be a good guy, but in the beginning of the outbreak, he did have ties with the more barbaric people. He was a hunter for some time, and that was mainly because of how his parents were and how controlling they were. He kind of followed them around like a lost puppy because he was scared, but within a couple of years, he cut all ties with them and he’s a part of the Allies. 

Like I said, though, there’s a dark side to him. He tries to smile and be uplifting, but deep down, he’s a cynic. He’s a sad, angry guy, that still has everything bottled up. Even when he was a hunter, he was still not acting to his fullest extent ? It’s tough, okay ! He faces a big issue because he is troubled and he does have these unresolved issues that could blow up in his face if he isn’t careful. 

What happens when you get a naturally exuberant guy and stick him with overprotective and overbearing parents ? You get Adam ! He can be pretty awkward at times because he’s still so unsure of how people will react to him, so he tends to act like a turtle sometimes. He’ll peak his head out and look around, but if there’s no lettuce or food in general, he’ll just go back into his shell. He can be complicated and definitely enigmatic because he really just doesn’t want to have people close enough to hurt him. 

That’s ? About it ! I’m working on his biography and such, which I will have up here in case anyone wants to keep up with that ? In the meantime, you can give this post a like or reply to it and I’ll hop into your IMs !
