Name

Zara Najjar

Age

34

Gender

Female

Appearance (faceclaim is Golshifteh Farahani)

She’s far more jaded and tired than the picture, but aside from that, the look is basically the same. Typically just wears the same old outfit everyday- black pants, a white polo, and a denim jacket.

Personality

Zara was a bit more happy-go-lucky before this all started, but she’s never really been an optimistic person. So, when the world went wild, she presumed the worst and decide to buckle down and use her skills as a combat medic for the better rather than just sitting on the sidelines. She’s very secretive, and takes a lot of pride in being difficult to read. Zara excels more at front-lines medicine and first aid than anything else, and doesn’t want to sit around and wait for people to come to her- she’ll get in the midst of the fight if she has to. Zara’s extremely no-nonsense, and she won’t hesitate to let the leaders know if she thinks a decision they made was terrible. Zara’s got a sailor’s mouth when it comes to cursing, but she’ll curb it around the kids- but not by much. She was already pretty apathetic before the apocalypse started, and she still is now. Despite being a tough nut to crack and a pretty cold personality, she’ll keep an eye out for the younger group members (especially Ev- “kid’s just 17.”) Zara’s the type to crack your leg back into place with no warning the second you look away from it. She’s not especially close to any group members, and she’d prefer to keep it that way- she claims it’s easier, especially when their life is riding on your shoulders. She always focuses on her own injuries last.

Other family

As far as she knows, her mother & father are in Iran somewhere, status unknown.

Akbar Najjar - Father, status unknown

Ghada Najjar - Mother, status unknown

Halim is in the US, though she’d have no idea where.

Attempted to find a faceclaim, went to a website, and now pakistani news wants to send me clickbait

Name

Marjani Neguse

Age

29

Gender

Female

Appearance

She’s far more rugged than she is in the picture… aaand a bit more muscular than that. Prosthetic leg from the left knee down. Wears a dark green jacket and blue jeans, and that’s really it. I’d crank out a drawing but… eh, I’m too tired.

Personality

She was a standard park ranger before the apocalypse started, and she had always preferred a quieter life in the forest over the hustle and bustle of the city. It ended up saving her, because she hadn’t known that zombies were roaming until a couple weeks into it when one roamed down a nearby path. Though she was relatively safe where she was, she deduced that it wouldn’t stay that way for long and left before coming across the group. Marjani is quiet and capable, but usually likes to keep to herself. She’s never wanted to be the center of attention, and she certainly wasn’t going to start being it now. Marjani has the ability to make decisions under pressure, but she’d never want to lead- she’s too afraid of dooming the people she’s actually grown to care about. Marjani keeps an eye out for the kids in particular- they’re the most at risk, and she’ll keep them out of danger as well as she can. Marjani has stuck to the role of hunter, as she’s never liked taking out zombies- they were dead and far beyond saving, yes, but some part of her fears that there’s something still human in them. That isn’t to say she’ll refrain from killing them at all- if she has to do it, she’ll slaughter them the same as anyone else would.

Marjani uses a bow- she’s always preferred it anyway, and it’s far quieter than a hunting rifle.

Other family

Emmanuel Neguse - Father, status unknown. Was somewhere in Georgia when it all started.

Asha Neguse - Mother, status unknown. Was with Emmanuel when the apocalypse initially started.

Hello roleplayer!

Plot ideas

• Sputnik goes missing and Marjani goes off to find him, even though he might “just be a dog”
• Not really a plot, but she thinks Rosalyn is probably the coolest person she’s met so far.
• I have a feeling she'd get bit on the left leg at some point and while everyone was freaking out she'd just be like "guys" and take her whole leg off lol

Name

Keanu Kanahele

Age

19

Gender

Trans male

Appearance (faceclaim Calum Hood)

Believe it or not, I finally found a face that matches what I thought up. Maybe some longer hair, but that’s really it. Keanu’s about 6’0”.

Personality

Keanu had always been analytical and curious- other kids wanted to be firefighters or astronauts, but he wanted to study the stars. He very specifically told his parents that he wanted to be an astrophysicist- nothing less. Maps of the stars aren’t exactly the best set of knowledge to have in the apocalypse, but it makes him a better navigator than most at night. Keanu likes facts and the precise, not assumptions or uncertain outcomes. As such, he’s terribly indecisive. He likes to run through every option he has before he makes an important decision. He’s nerve wracked in dangerous situations, and panics pretty easy, but he does his best to help regardless. Currently, he’s trying to be less “cowardly,” and often puts aside his own issues as to not worry Alani. He seems to get braver if people he cares about are in danger. Unfortunately, Keanu’s had to grow up fast- he’s had to act as Alani’s brother and her parents. Keanu doesn’t want to let Alani into any danger- though he knows that she’ll have to get into some so she can learn how to survive in the long run.

He doesn’t want to think about what happens if he or Alani gets bit.

Other family

Alani Kanahele - His younger sister. He’s highly protective and rarely lets her go too far from him, or venture from the farm. There’s only a select few people that Keanu trusts to keep her safe when he’s not watching her.

The last he saw of his parents, they were shouting at Keanu and Alani to run as far as they could- and they did. Now Keanu has no idea where they are.

Anakoni Kanahele - Father. Status unknown, but presumed dead.

Iolana Kanahele - Mother. Status unknown, but presumed dead.

Hello roleplayer!

Plot ideas

• He probably has a crush on Ripley I’m not gonna lie
• Right now he would be easily swayed by the promise of information on his parents.
• Keanu will do whatever he has to in order to keep Alani alive
• He’s not too keen on anyone encouraging Alani’s more violent tendencies

Name

Alani Kanahele

Age

9

Gender

Cis Female

Appearance

Pic! Faceclaim is… some random kid I googled

Personality

Alani is generally an optimist- she doesn’t ignore the reality of their situation, but she does believe that everyone good will pull through hard times. She knows that people are going to die- but thinks it’ll only be the “bad people.” Alani is headstrong and gung-ho to help out whenever and wherever she can, and often tries to get the other members to let her go with them when they go out on a task (much to Keanu’s protest). She’s eager to prove herself capable of survival. Alani struggles to make decisions that have no clear “right answer”- she doesn’t think she’ll make the right choice, and looks to the older group members for guidance on making hard calls. Alani is very unforgiving- if you wrong her or her family, she’s not going to forget it easily. Alani, thus far, has had no qualms about killing zombies or watching them get killed. Just to defend herself, she’s been given a small hunting knife- which she’s used on a zombie or two when she was supposed to be stuck inside but decided to help out. Alani would like to be able to use a gun, as she thinks it’ll make her more useful.

She hasn’t thought about what she’ll do if she or Keanu gets bit. She doesn’t think it’ll ever happen.

Other family

Keanu Kanahele - Brother. Looks to him for guidance, and seeks his approval above anything else.

Anakoni Kanahele - Father.

Iolana Kanahele - Mother.

Hello roleplayer!

Plot ideas

• She’s making a couple of wrong assumptions about the current state of the world (only bad people are gonna get killed). Prove her wrong.
• Alani’s trying to get anybody to let her go out and help. She might try to jump the gun and go out herself.

Name

Cain Azrael Barnaby

Age

52

Gender

Cis male

Appearance (faceclaim Christoph Waltz, because he just… is really good at playing villains)

Nothing really differs from the picture, except with a pair of small round glasses. He wouldn’t have the hat, and the rest of his clothes would be more roughed up than the pic. He looks surprisingly well-kept considering the situation.

Personality

Cain’s main strength comes through his charismatic nature, and speaks quietly- but in a fashion that conveys a sense of malice. He has no hesitance when he has to inflict violence on others- but he’ll try to “peacefully” indoctrinate them into the cult first rather than skip straight to bloodshed. He has his own methods involving fire and brimstone preaching- and torture. Cain doesn’t like to kill any potential members, as he believes it his mission and duty to “save” as many people as he can from “god-sent punishment.” Cain does have a capacity for forgiveness- so long as you let him “save” you in the end. But if someone resists too greatly or causes him or his cult too much harm, he understands that there are simply some who don’t want him to “help” them. In essence, he’s got a Messiah Complex.

Other family

None of his family were too keen on keeping with his ideals. Their mistake.

Margaret Barnaby - Mother, deceased.

John Barnaby - Father, deceased.

Jacob Barnaby - Brother, deceased.

Hello roleplayer!

Plot ideas

• He’s one of the cult guys, so it’s gonna be awhile before he shows up or anything.
• He’s a manipulator, and he’s made his main task in the cult indoctrination. He might sway some characters.
