Name- Reverend Jack Hathaway

Age- 53

Height- 5'11

Physical Characteristics- Bald, cold calculated stare, rough aged face. Hidden beneath his black Reverend's suit he is unexpectedly muscular, tone from years of military training.

Occupation- Former Reverend of the modern Puritan Church of Chicago, now leads "The Perish" his twisted ultra puritanical cult inside the city.

History- Jack was a product of the Vietnam War. Having seen the grittiest atrocities man has ever committed, Jack turned away from the military when he returned from the war. His focus shifted to religion, as he sought out a deeper meaning to life, an explanation to what allowed the horrors he saw to be okay. Twenty years later he finished seminary school and joined the Puritan Evangelical Church of America, believing the ultra structure it provided is what would save the world from its own sin. As the years continued memories of the war resurfaced and madness began to creep into his mind. His Puritan beliefs deepened with every day. He soon began to proclaim to his followers that the end was nigh, and believed the dead would rise to reap the harvest of man’s rebellion against God. The church excommunicated him for his heretical teachings. This didn't stop him. He founded "the Perish" a cult group that condemned all those who didn't follow their conservative brand of pseudo-Christian belief. When the outbreak exploded in Chicago, "the Perish" took its chance at accelerating the harvest, and now roams the streets forcing people to join or be killed.

Name- Alex "Clean" Evans

Age- 34

Height- 5'10

Physical Characteristics- Long shaggy hair with an equally unkempt beard. Despite his worn clothes, rough looks, and rugged lifestyle, he has somehow retained a surprisingly youthful and cheerful attitude. After many years of eating from dumpsters, his overall size and musculature have shrunk.

Occupation- Though a self-proclaimed jack of all trades, he has never been part of the employed world. His means of income, for the most part, come from theft and then fencing the goods. Taking from the rich and giving to the poor, Clean is a modern day "Robin Hood."

History- Alex was a star athlete during his years in high school and college. One semester before receiving his degree, he withdrew and fled to the streets of New York City. He then joined a shelter, where he met good friend and mentor, "Safe" Jones. Alex was taught how to survive on his own by Safe, and was also given the nickname "Clean," for his overly dirty appearance. Safe passed away soon after he was done mentoring Alex. With his mentor gone, Alex traveled on foot to Chicago. He was approached by many homeless "families," but he decided it was safer to go it on his own. During one of his latest trips to a public restroom, he glanced in a mirror and was humored at the way his body had morphed over the past three years. He looked like a skinny old man...but oddly enough, a YOUNG skinny old man. A mysterious outbreak soon occurred, and Clean is now on the run from not only what appear to be the undead, but also from survivors. He knows that the survivors are not to be trusted, and that they are equally dangerous as the undead. Sticking to the shadows, and observing as much as possible about the current dilemma, Alex is hoping to come up with a plan.

Name: Kevin “Smiles” Night

Age: 26

Height: 5’11”

Physical Characteristics: Short buzzed hair with a full trimmed beard. A very quick witted, happy go lucky attitude towards life seems like a stark contradiction from his love of fighting.

History: Throughout Kevin’s life he has always been a fighter. Not for the love of hurting another person, but for the thrill of testing his own limits. Kevin is forever pushing himself to the very edge in everything he does. During High School Kevin was an average student, but excelled in sports year round. After High School he joined the Army for a few years where he started learning MMA. It’s been true love ever since. Once Kevin got out he took what money left over from his military service, and opened up a gym in the sunny streets of Chicago. Training himself, as well as training others, had become the focus for his life at this point. Everything came down to those Friday Night Fights where Kevin earned the nickname Smiles because when he fought he always had a smile on his face.

Late one Thursday night Kevin was cleaning up the gym, and getting himself ready for his fight the following night when what looked like a crazed homeless man crashed through the front window. Immediately he ran to the man’s side thinking someone must have thrown him in during a fight, but just has he was nearing him the man launched himself at him. Years of training and fighting saved his life. Kevin was able to dodge by rolling under his attacker and hurling him towards the far wall. As the homeless man hit the wall Kevin heard a loud SNAP that he knew was probably the man’s neck. Kevin rushed over and turned the lights on and what he saw made him take a step back. The thing he had thought was a homeless man was missing the bottom half of his jaw. This was Kevin’s first run in with the Zombie horde, but most certainly not his last.

[Kristen Caselnova]

Name- Isebella Mia Costenelli

Age- 25

height- 5'3"

Physical Traits: "Mia" as her friends call her, has long black hair that drapes past her shoulder blades. She may be short but was a track runner all of her life so she has a slender, intense muscular build. Her father always told her that her eyes reminded him of the world's best emeralds- because they were always perfect in the fact of how large and how they always seemed to be shimmering.

Occupation: Currently a grad. student preparing herself to become a trauma unit doctor.

History: Mia was always the smartest and brilliant of four sisters. She finished top of her class from Harvard University and was now preparing herself for the residency of a lifetime. She was never one to turn down an offer when she saw it, so decided to do her residency at Saint Anthony Hospital working day in and day out to grasp the fullest concept of the medical world, but what she didn't realize was that what she was about to discover, could lead to a epidemic or worse- it could possibly end the world.

[Alain Laure]

Name - Tobias "Zero" Sanders

Age - 35

Occupation - Soldier/Electronic Design and Repair

Appearance:
Height - 6' 0"
Eye Color - Ice Blue
Build - Tobias is the combination of the military's strengthening and cut training with the diet and regulation of his own accord, he is built, but not overly so.
Hair - Shorter black hair, general armed forces cut.

History: His entire life, Tobias was under the beckon call of the military. Even as an infant his father, a high-ranking military official, was cold and wanted nothing more than obedience and order from him. He grew up fairly fast even though his years hadn't matured as quickly as his mind. He was forced into the military academy as a child and then the actual forces as he grew.

Now, Zero is merely a tool of the government left to rust. The damned had breached many civil defenses. He was among a select few classified officers, whom had undergone secret tests and enduring trials that even fewer had walked away from. Now he stands between survival and the dead, a strong foe of the walking dead.

[machina]

Name: Takaino "Reaper" Kana

Age: 20

Height: 5'7"

Appearance:



History:

Kana was raised in a loving home, her breeding elite and her intellect far above average. She was given all that she could have ever needed, though she lacked friendship due to her spoiled nature. She finished school at the top of her class and continued her education, hoping to pursue a career in health care; though the recent zombie apocalypse has stunted her progress and sent her into a rage. She currently houses herself just outside of the city in a small duplex rested just off of W 26th Street between Cicero and Chicago, which has no tenant on the other side; many of the citizens having fled in terror. She has no fear, however, of the undead army; just anger at their refusal to allow her continuance of life.

She belongs to no group, however, she is known simply by the name "Reaper" for her continued slaughter of evil using a large sickle which was passed down throughout her family for generations. She has also taken the name "Reaper" from her great, great grandmother Mitsuki who used the very same sickle to slaughter several innocents during her younger years; before being sentenced to death. The story has been twisted and passed down to Kana as though her ancestor had been enslaved and forced to fight for her freedom; when the reality is she was just insane. The sickle is long and lightweight; decorated with diamond plating on the end of the blade, the color now a slight pinkish from all of the blood it has seen.

Name- Ryan "Shooter" Evans

Height- 6'4"

Weight- 210 lbs.

Build- Very muscular and tan from years of farm work, with rugged looks and rough hands from constant rope tying

Age- 23

Hair- Dark Brown

Eyes- Blue

Background- Ryan grew up on a farm in the middle of the beautiful Illinois fields. When he was four, he received a BB gun for his birthday and began his sniping career there. As he got older, it became apparent he had serious skill in his shooting abilities. When he was 11, he became the national 4-H champ in rifle, shotgun, and pistol shooting events. At the age of 16, he was approached by the Navy Seals to become one of the greatest snipers ever, but he turned them down to stay on the farm and help his family. When he turned 21, he came home from the market to witness his mother, father, and two younger sisters pinned down by what appeared to be homeless men. Without thinking, he pulled his Winchester 270 off of the gun rack on his back window of his pickup and dropped both men in less than a second. As he approached, he saw that something was dreadfully wrong with the men. He helped his father build a bunker, but his father then asked his son to go out and find out what was wrong and make it better. Reluctantly at his father's bidding, Ryan drove, until he made it to Chicago. There he saw a chocolate lab being terrorized by another man with the same problem, and saved the dog. The two drove until Ryan ran out of gas, so now he and his dog he named Chloe roam the city, trying to find why this happened, with nothing but his 270 and his custom Browning 10 gauge over and under shotgun.
