𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 . abandoned shed
𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 . end of the day / early morning
there was a loud noise in the shed , the shattering of glass ripping her out of her restless sleep . italia’d thought she’d be relatively safe for the night where she was , the door barricaded , the only way in being the WINDOW she’d climbed through . gun was already ready to fire , the barrel armed and pointed at her guest’s head . ❛ take one more step , and i’ll be feeding your corpse to the dead . ❜
making stops wasn’t uncommon for dylan to do as a trader . sometimes he could find a supply or two if he was lucky in abandoned sheds and barns , this time was no different . the only thing he wasn’t expecting was to come across a rogue . he raised his hands in defense as soon as he was threatened . ❝ relax kid , ❞ he breathed . ❝ you and i are on the same side . ❞
• ( drew van acker. 32. he/his. ) we spotted DYLAN MCKAY around toledo today, just another gear in the machine of the apocalypse. i heard he is a TRADER for AILTON TOWER. i guess it fits, seeing as he is known to be resourceful & loyal, as well as stubborn & skeptical. they often have little black submarines by the black keys stuck in their head while they work. i wonder if they’re prepared for what’s coming ?
hey everyone. i’m rae and it’s been years since i’ve been in this type of rp. that’s kind of like a disclaimer saying i don’t know what i’m doing, so please don’t judge me. i bring you dylan mckay, a hot mess who is a trader for ailton tower and really doesn’t know what’s going on besides there being an apocalypse. he’s a taurus, left-handed, and has luck on his side. also, this probably won’t show up in the tags because i made a new blog for this, whoops.
dylan mckay is originally from tyler, texas, the rose capital of america. his family owned and operated blueberry hill farms, a farm where anyone can pick their own berries and enjoy the sweet treats located in the bakery. his childhood was average, full of sports and playing outside versus staying indoors and glued to a screen. his family life was also average, being an only child.
dylan had his fair share of relationships throughout high school and college, but it was during his junior year while studying engineering that he met the woman who would change his life. the two became engaged a few years after graduating, deciding to make their home in dallas, texas.
when the outbreak first started, dylan and his fiance were in the middle of wedding planning. those plans came to a halt with the rapidly spreading virus, forcing dylan and natalie to retreat back to tyler, texas on his family’s farm. things were good for a while, they were able to survive off the land and build a makeshift fortress around the farm, but the inevitable happened. the infected found their way in one night while most of the family was sleeping, dylan’s father being the only one on alert. needless to say, dylan was the only one to make it out alive. he did his best to try to save his family, his fiance, but in the end there was nothing he could do.
dylan roamed the toledo bend reservoir on his own for months before he came across a group of survivors reinventing an old museum that would later be called ailton tower. though a bit wary at first, he finally decided to join their ranks and help turn ailton tower into what it is today. he serves as a trader, his resourcefulness coming in handy when it comes to bartering goods from the other two camps. while he would be better suited for farming, dylan’s come to trust and be loyal to his fellow survivors within the tower.
as for wanted connections? i still haven’t thought anything out fully but here are a few off the top of my head that could be fleshed out.
the person dylan trusts the most and vice versa. they would obviously have to be part of ailton tower but i suppose these two would be friends, always having each other’s backs.
frenemies. people dylan doesn’t trust that much and is always skeptical about. could be from any camp or a rogue.
enemies. just straight-up hate. maybe your character tried to kill him or something for supplies before the camps were established or maybe your character just tried to kill him or leave him for dead anyway, we can talk it out.
romance/sexual tension. i don’t really know if during something like this that dylan would have these kinds of thoughts on his mind, but i’m sure there’s some tension or flirting going on with someone around. it’s just bound to happen, human nature.
