NAME: Axel McKinnon

Age: 29

Origin: Adelaide, Australia

Formerly: Mechanic

Role: Runner

Arrived: October 2050

BEFORE THE OUTBREAK

Axel was taught from a young age that if he wanted something he had to work for it. His father had always been a man that believed that nothing was ever gained unless there was effort put in. Axel’s efforts were almost always rewarded, but nothing was ever given to the boy easily (except, occasionally, when his mother snuck treats to the boy behind his father’s back). It taught Axel to be independent and develop a strong work ethic. If he wanted it, he worked for it.

Even as a boy Axel was always fascinated by how things functioned. His toys of choice were Legos and blocks because he was able to make something out of nothing with them, tinker to his little heart’s content to end up with a final product that was altogether new and fascinating. This hands-on tinkerer attribute lead him to sign up for mechanical engineering in college despite his less than stellar grades throughout high school. He left home for Fort Collins, Colorado and Colorado University after graduating from high school to pursue his career – and explore the mountains.

His first job, which he focused on far more than his school work, was working in his father’s mechanics and machine shop in high school, fixing up old cars, constructing parts from scrap, and piecing together his own motorcycle when he had the spare cash and time to donate to it.

Engineering classes didn’t suit the high energy adrenaline junky. The young man would much rather spend his time at parties, pulling the next big stunt on his bike, or goofing off with friends than hit the books. However, when he was at threat of being put on academic probation and being kicked out of the engineering school he settled down and worked his way through by the skin of his teeth in order to get his degree. After earning his degree he moved around the states picking up odd jobs and getting out the last of his thrill seeking freedoms with his roommate before being tied down with a ‘grown up’ job.

AFTER THE OUTBREAK

The infection hit in an immediate and sudden way from Axel’s perspective. One minute he was working on his motorcycle in the shop and the next a swarm of infected took over the shop. He managed to tear out on his motorcycle to avoid the bloodbath. He was on the run ever since.

Being on his own Axel had to learn how to survive on his feet. He lifted a handgun and bullets from a shop as he breezed through an abandoned town to defend himself from the zombie creatures that seemed to be around every corner. Initially he didn’t think much about the fact that he was killing real people. It was an out of body experience, a kill or be killed situation to rationalize things - but the more he did it the easier it became, the more emotion he took out of the equation.

Redemption Falls was the first town he rolled into that didn’t seem to be overrun with the infected. While he wasn’t keen on the idea of staying in one place like a horde of sitting ducks he has yet to leave the place, preferring to be in the company of others than back out there on his own.

Axel has a hard time trusting those around him, just waiting for the next shoe to drop and the rest of them to turn like all the others thus far. He thinks that he’s better off on his own and always had been but he is too stubborn to leave…and he’s too proud to admit that he gets lonely being out on the road on his own.

CONNECTIONS

Flynn Hawkins: These two have a longstanding competition going about their kill counts and he’s waiting for the day when he can beat Flynn’s top kill and boast about it in their face.

Jamison Forbes: If Axel wanted to follow the rules he would’ve done better in school. He doesn’t do anything to blatantly defy Jamison’s stricter rules, but he’s more often than not one to be caught where he’s not supposed to be or out after curfew, which doesn’t please the town leader much.

Grayson Williams: Grayson is one of the few in Redemption Falls that is willing to put up with Axel’s recklessness. They work well together and have often taken down a hoard or two side by side. Axel appreciates the man for his risk taking and grit.

[nobodysempirerpg]

NAME: Alexi Gomez

Age: 30-35

Origin: San Diego, California

Formerly: Resident Doctor

Role: Medic

Arrived: November 2050

BEFORE THE OUTBREAK

Alexi grew up with four brothers. His days consisted of rough housing, hiding his stuff, and never ending chaos. He loved them all but as the oldest, sometimes he wished he had his own space and a bubble of silence. His dad worked long hours as the head of a law firm so Alexi and his siblings spent most of their time with his mother.

He had a passion for science, fixing things, and anatomy. His decision to be a doctor was one that came easy, even though the process was not. It took him three tries to get accepted due to standardized exams, like the MCAT, being difficult for him.

The long hours took a toll on Alexi. He didn’t sleep enough. He lived on too much caffeine. He ignored his mental health and his family’s pleas to get his life in order. He kept telling himself, just one more exam, just one more class, and he’d be fine.

He made it into residency (barely) and was finally ready to begin his career when traces of the outbreak made its way into his hospital.

AFTER THE OUTBREAK

It was sheer luck Alexi didn’t succumb to the virus. A numbers game. God. Who knows? All he knew was when the first corpse turned, he was out the door and fighting to round up his family.

Due to the chaos of being in a city and his family being spaced out, he was only able to make it out with one of his brothers. They got separated after a run in with a herd of zombies and Alexi to this day has no idea what happened to him.

He showed up at Redemption Falls after hearing about a compound that hadn’t been torn to bits. Announcing himself as a doctor gave him almost instant access inside and Alexi planned to keep it that way by putting in as many hours as possible - even if it wasn’t the best option for his sanity.

Now, Alexi spends most of his time treating patients and keeping an eye out for signs of infection. He wants to find a cure but has little to go on without experimentation. He knows that proposing such a thing would raise red flags everywhere but they can’t find a cure or treatment options by sitting on their asses.

CONNECTIONS

Sonya Forbes: Part mentor, part confidant, Alexi finds her one of the easiest people to work with in the clinic. He admires her approach to the infected and has helped her catalog the various stages of infection as well as brainstorm a cure. He feels she’ll be the most open to experimentation.

Caleb ‘Cal’ Sullivan: Alexi grew instantly fond of one of the youngest member of Redemption Falls, particularly because he feels guilty over not knowing what happened to his brothers in the wasteland. He tries to keep Cal’s demons at bay.

Elise Sawyer: Elise has been the person who helps ground Alexi. Her presence is calming to him for whatever reason; She doesn’t demand conversation when they’re together, but she’s there to make sure he doesn’t overwork himself and gets a meal or two in from time to time.

[nobodysempirerpg]

NAME: Elise Sawyer

Age: 25

Origin: Chicago, Illinois

Formerly: Book Store Manager

Role: Survivor

Arrived: September 2050

BEFORE THE OUTBREAK

As a baby Elise contracted meningitis. Before she got better, she lost much of her hearing and was legally determined to be deaf by the age of three.

She learned ASL and how to read lips, though being in a family of hearing she adapted to still using her voice vocally when possible, even though it was somewhat uncomfortable for her as she can’t hear herself speak very well.

She became enthralled with books, disappearing into the fictitious worlds within. She often had stacks of novels on her bedside table and went through each one within a handful of days. It led to her taking up a job at the local bookstore down the street, shelving books and getting discounts.

She was saving up for cochlear implants, putting her money aside until she had enough for the surgery and therapy that would be required. She was just about ready to set a date for the procedure when the infection began to spread.

AFTER THE OUTBREAK

Elise didn’t fully understand what was going on when the outbreak first hit Chicago. Upon first sight of the infected outside her bookshop, she thought she surely must be dreaming. She locked up the doors and huddled in the back room, not sure what else to do.

After a few days her meager rations of snacks and water that she kept in her office started running thin and she had no choice but to seek safety elsewhere. 

Once she got up the courage to unlock the doors and step out onto the streets, what she found was a scene out of a horror story. Cars were abandoned left and right and there was no living soul in sight - save for the bodies littered in the street. Something horrible had happened while she was locked up in her safe haven - but whatever it was seemed to have moved on since.

Running into Paige Kennedy was like a prayer answered; the woman seemed to know exactly what to do to keep them safe and Elise didn’t hesitate to follow her to safety.

CONNECTIONS

Paige Kennedy: Elise owes Paige everything. Without her, she probably wouldn’t have mustered up the courage to escape from Chicago, let alone across the country to safety. Plus, Paige knows sign language, and it’s a comfort to be able to speak to someone without having to physically speak, as everyone else seems to expect of her.

Alexi Gomez: While Alexi can’t do a ton to help her these days, the doctor does what he can to keep her healthy and sane. Whenever hearing aides are collected by the runners, Alexi tries to fit them for Elise to see if they can make a difference. He serves as something of a therapist for her - and very much a friend.

Tristan Sturges: Elise doesn’t really know what to make of Tristan. He seems like a nice guy overall, and when he noticed that she was usually curled up reading a book he started bringing her novels that he found while out on runs. She’s been working to teach him ASL because he’s shown interest, and enjoys his attempts at communicating in her language.

NAME: Logan Woods

Age: 27

Origin: San Jose, California

Formerly: Bartender

Role: Survivor

Arrived: November 2050

BEFORE THE OUTBREAK

His parents were incapable of taking care of him, so his grandparents were forced to take him under their wing. But once they died he was passed from relative to relative.

No one really cared about what he did, so from an early age he was an independent boy who would go to school then not come back until the late hours of night.

When he turned eighteen he moved out and never spoke to any of his relatives. He considered his small group of friends to be his family.

Logan got a job at the local bar and found himself growing close to the little community that would gather there.

AFTER THE OUTBREAK

He hid with a group of friends, but once their hideout was overrun he decided it was time to move on.

The first thing he did was find a group of people that at least looked like they knew what they were doing.

He picked up what tricks that he could, but still has issues with killing things because he still sees them as humans.

Logan thinks that Redemption Falls is just another stop in the road. He doesn’t have much faith that it will hold out for long and not much idea of what his purpose is in the apocalypse is either. 

CONNECTIONS

Flynn Hawkins: He doesn’t trust Flynn for one second. There’s something about Flynn’s intentions that doesn’t seem right. He thinks it’d be best to keep an eye on them – as long as they’re in Redemption Falls together.

Adelina Hayes: She seems like such a goody-goody, Logan has gotten into the habit of hanging around the clinic just to get a rise out of her. He wants to drag her a little more out of her shell. Admittedly though, when he heard about her involvement in what happened to Grayson, he’s starting to wonder if she’s got a little more spunk to her than is on the surface.

Elise Sawyer: To live without music and survive in the apocalypse, Logan is curious about Elise. Clearly she has to have some determination if she’s survived so long, but he can’t begin to fathom what life is like without sound. He wants to learn more about her.

[nobodysempirerpg]

NAME: Paige Kennedy

Age: 38

Origin: Montpelier, Vermont

Formerly: Military Officer

Role: Council

Arrived: September 2050

BEFORE THE OUTBREAK

Born and raised in Montpelier, Vermont, Paige had a quiet childhood. Her father was deployed to the military when she was fifteen years old and returned just before she graduated high school, and she decided to follow in his footsteps. She signed up for boot camp the day after she graduated.

She served a few years before returning home and starting a family. Her daughter was only three years old when she was deployed into service again. It broke her heart to leave her baby behind.

When she returned home again, she suffered from PTSD, constantly experiencing night terrors that kept her up and avoiding sleep. The only thing that calmed the symptoms seemed to be alcohol, and she began drinking heavily.

Her boyfriend attempted to support her and care for their daughter at the same time, but when their daughter’s safety was put into jeopardy, he cut ties and disappeared from her life, taking her child with him.

AFTER THE OUTBREAK

The infection was almost enough for Paige to simply give up and give in. It wasn’t long until liquor became difficult to come by and she was forced to sober up and get her shit together.

Killing infected has become something of a hobby, ridding the world of the real monsters.

She fears the day she might come upon her child covered in the vicious fungus and no longer recognizable. She can only hope the rest of her family is safe out there somewhere.

Redemption Falls has been a new start for her. She’s found a seat on the council where she can make a real difference in the town, and she enjoys the familiarity of the status that helps her keep her head on straight.

CONNECTIONS

Elise Sawyer: If Paige were completely honest with herself, she’d considered leaving Elise behind on more than one occasion. The girl slowed her down significantly and because of her disability Paige felt she had to be extra attentive for the both of them. She’s trying to right in this world though, and Elise has given her a starting place.

Riley Maslow: There is something that doesn’t sit right with Paige when it comes to Riley, though she can’t quite put her finger on it. Is it that she seems to know more than she should, or is it because she never seems hopeful when the mention of finding a cure comes up? Either way, Paige keeps an eye on her, waiting for the shoe to drop.

Lincoln Talbot: Lincoln makes Paige anxious. He reminds her of her ex-boyfriend who took her daughter away and his attempts to be friendly just makes her feel strange. She tends to avoid him as much as she can, even though she doesn’t really know him.
