Piper Mae Rose

—let's start a fire everywhere that we go—

nicknames. has no preference. rose, maybe.

age. 26

sex. female

gender. cis female

personality. there's a lot to say about Piper Rose. she's full of life, energetic and charismatic. she loves to make friends, but make no mistake- Piper is brutally honest about everything, will say exactly what she's thinking and won't put up with anyone's nonsense. she makes an excellent mediator and director, as Piper is happy to provide an unbiased opinion for two quarrelling sides, and she is a good organiser. Piper will put people in their place if their out of line, and brokers no room for arguments. despite her intensity, Piper is very caring, protective and gentle for those who earn her favour. still, she has her father's hot temper and her mother's spunk, and can sometimes be too much for some people to handle at times.

history. (mentions of alcohol, abortion and drugs)Piper was born to a down-on-her-luck bartender, Zoe, who worked to make her living in a bar full of the rich and successful. Her father was one of these men. Like many before him, William was charmed by Zoe's quick wits, charisma, and of course, pretty face. William frequented the bar, but kept it a secret that he had a wife and child already. After about a year of coming back, dating and spending a few nights together, Zoe discovered she was pregnant around the same time Catrina, William's wife, started growing more and more suspicious of her husband disappearing. Panicking, William left Zoe and the baby, leaving her only with enough money if she did not want to have the child. Though angry and scared, Zoe kept the child. Instead used the money to help raise Piper once she was born, getting another job as a waitress and raising Piper in her spare time.

Piper grew up somewhat frustrated that her mother was never around, and that she was always pawned off to daycare, as Zoe didn't have the money for her to go to school. Piper became very close with two siblings, Travis and Mallory, who also frequented the daycare. The three spent a lot of time together, and became inseparable quickly.

Zoe eventually quit both her jobs and started moonlighting. She became more accessible to Piper, though she spent many hours of the day, and helped to start properly schooling her daughter.

When Piper was 15, she got her own part-time job at a music store, where she spent a lot of time studying on her own. Piper met many people, sometimes accompanied by Travis and/or Mallory, but met a boy named Rowan about a month after she started. He came back frequently, and Piper thought he was a very typical teenage boy - grumpy, broody and was pretending to be that weird level of 'uncool'. The two clashed often, sometimes having more pleasant conversations and sometimes shouting at each other. Sometime after meeting Rowan, Piper met Catrina and William. Piper was irritated by William's lack of caring for Rowan, and the two instantly disliked each other. It was only when her mother came to pick her up one day when Rowan and William were there, that Piper found out that Rowan was her half-brother and William was her father. Rowan did not find out right away, but Zoe soon told Catrina what had happened after she found out - for the first time - that William had been married. The drama only escalated from there, until Catrina and William got a divorce. Rowan stopped coming to the shop, and Piper only saw him again several months after her 16th birthday. Rowan blamed Piper for splitting up his parents. She didn't seem again for a long time.

Piper and her mother saved up money for Piper to go to college. She went for a major in history and a minor in theatre-generalist. During college, she spent her free time taking classes in pole dancing and aquatics/diving, and joined a debate team that she ended up leading. Nearing her third semester, she reached back out to Rowan. The two developed an uneasy, tense relationship, especially as Rowan had gotten himself addicted to drugs and alcohol. Piper took care of him a lot when she could, and Rowan's condition fluctuated.

Piper was on an internship in Little Rock, in contact with Rowan, Travis and Mallory, when the apocalypse broke out.

Sebastian Prince Taylor

—life demands a final chapter, a story that we all must leave behind—

nicknames. seb, prince, taylor, whatever goes.

age. 20

sex. male

gender. cisgender

personality. Sebastian is a complex person. he is naturally light-hearted and has a good sense of humour, loves to smile and make others feel good, but he's also quiet and laid back. he can be prone to falling into the background. Sebastian can be prone to melancholic moments, but usually when he's by himself. he uses his good natured humour as a defence mechanism, and can be rather allocentric, and has a tendency to worry about bothering other people. he finds it hard to fully trust others, and while he will always put everyone else's needs above his own, he hides himself behind walls and isolates himself emotionally, partially without truly meaning to.

history. Sebastian was born second of three kids to Logan and Grace Taylor. when Sebastian was five, his mum was diagnosed with respiratory disease. she ended up in the hospitalised several times, and Sebastian spent a lot of time in the hospital as a child. while his older sister, Bernadette, grew tired of the hospital shortly, and his younger sister, Julia, had too much energy to be so confined, Sebastian remained quiet and unobtrusive. he even enjoyed talking to the doctors and nurses, and learned a lot while he was there. unfortunately, his mum passed away when he was ten from an infection. in light of what happened, Sebastian started pursuing medicine and when he was seventeen, he ended up helping his younger sibling (Julia) Jaiden, when they came out as genderfluid and they ended up getting an apartment together when Sebastian started school.

it was just before the apocalypse, when he and Jaiden were visiting Berndette, who lived in Oklahoma with her husband, after she announced she was pregnant, when they got into a car crash. Jaiden didn't survive, and Sebastian was still hospitalised when the apocalypse started. he escaped, and found his way to the wildlife refuge.

BRONX JONAH NOVELL

- How do people get through life without a twin sister? -

nicknames. x, sir kindness, kind brother, twin two, borough, jo

age. 25 years old

sex. cisgender male

gender. cisgender male

personality. adventurous, alert, amiable, articulate, athletic, benevolent, brilliant, calm, charismatic, clever, confident, courageous, dedicated, empathetic, gentle, hardworking, humorous, humble, patient, protective, skillful, strong, ambitious, amusing, absentminded, determined, emotional, stern, stubborn, cautious, demanding, envious, greedy, insecure, irrational, messy, moody, naive, obnoxious, quirky, troublesome

history. bronx grew up with an equally mischevious twin, on the outskirts of las vegas. both of his parents came from new york, and named their children appropriately. he was immediately the most successful of his sister, finding a way to be athletic, popular, and intelligent in all his schools. high school was the most prominent, shaping him into a star football player but catching him with the wrong crowd. bronx had really shaped into a jock jerk, and slipped past his classes with c's. luckily for him, he was able to get an atheletic scholarship to unlv, where he began playing football and focusing on his major and minor. his short attention span caused him to drop out, and he lost all his dreams of joining the nfl. soon after he turned twenty four, albany and bronx were seperated, and he was forced to head west with his dad. during this time period he continually argued with his father, disagreeing to join the few zombie free sanctuaries in california. he departed from his parent, and set off on a journey by himself to a group called the sinners. he hoped albany was already there, and if not, bronx would continue to search for her elsewhere. the trip was difficult, and he led a life of crime on his journey, but it was all worth it. on his way he picked up a sickness. it was extreme and he was barely able to recover, leaving blindness in one eye and very blurry conditions in the other. glasses help him now, but when he takes them off it leaves him with almost complete inability to see. despite this weakness, he was able to quickly gain the trust of the chancellor and squeeze his way into the advisor position. now he is quite close with vivian and his reunited sister, albany.
