( kim taehyung. twenty-four. he/him. ) SHYLO BAE, or SHY, has been at THE OLD CHURCH for TWO MONTHS and is currently a SUPPLY MANAGER. their fellow survivors say they’re quite GENEROUS, IDEALISTIC but i’ve heard whispers that they’re also MORBID, GREEDY. but, one thing is certain, they’ve survived this long for a reason.
hello! i’m deni and this is my nerd, shylo. he currently has a stat and info page here, and below are a few plots with tidbits of other character info included. there’s also some more in his wanted tag :) if you’d like to plot, let me know by hitting that heart!
this is the story of shylo bae and the no-good very bad horrible day.
one moment he’s logging hours on a farm somewhere in nowhere, ohio and the next the world’s falling apart. far from home, he phoned his parents and was told to stay put, finding shelter with his professor and a handful of other students on a nearby farm when the highways shut down. a few weeks passed and they saw their first biter --- unfortunately for a few of shylo’s classmates, who succumbed to sickness and then, re-awoke as cannibals. shylo freaked the hell out like everyone else, but his spiral gave him focus, ironically enough, and he pulled through with the rest of his camp to study the walkers. notes, experiments, observations. a familiar routine. they lasted in the barn for months without incidence, but a violent looting two months ago sent him running for sanctuary to the old church camp.
these are some connection and plotty things.
101. shylo’s better with his hands. they’re better with the plans. together, they’re working on giving electrical power back to the people. ( and shylo knows where to find some solar panels . . . )
102. they follow shylo out to his “secret lab” and discover plans he has for studying this wave of viruses. maybe they even decide to help him. or maybe they don’t even know what they’re looking at yet.
103. shylo’s desperate for certain supplies, and despite his reservations, he goes with them on a run outside of camp. there, he’s met with a difficult challenge --- broken glasses.
104. they’re from another camp and are eager to get their hands on the church’s supplies. shylo’s good about staying honest to the people he’s homed with, but they’re offering him something hard to refuse.
105. he ran into them weeks before he came to the old church. whether they know it or not, they took something important from him when they took his supply pack. he wants it back.
106. shylo needs a zombie. alive. they’re willing to help him capture one.
107. there’s no cartoons or traveling and shylo’s got more free time than he can handle. he’s using this to learn some new skills --- sewing, art, needlepoint, pottery-making. anything fortheloveofgod please
108. trading favors for favors. it’s the new currency. shylo helps them out with a project at their camp, and in return, they’ll help him when he decides the time’s right.
109. before the End, they might’ve been the kind to enjoy each other’s company over a beer. for now, they’ll settle for talking dreams under the stars on guard duty.
110. close encounters make them settle a pact --- if he’s bitten, shylo wants to be locked in his lab and studied. if they’re bitten, shylo gets them For Science ( or something )
111. shylo makes a desperate run back home with them and they find out he’s basically holding zombies hostage in their old bedroom.
[ daniel sharman & 40 & cis male & he / him ] holy shit, is that theodore ‘theo' davis from the police station ? i overheard someone talking to them; they said they're charismatic, but when their controlling side comes out it ain't pretty. i heard that they hail from florida and always have their sniper on them ! they remind me of military attire and combat boots, and apparently they miss popcorn the most from the old world ! they help out as a sniper, although they always dreamed of being a guard ! they have a neutral opinion about a possible nationwide rebuild.
