hey one and all ! so i won’t be making changes to hani’s background, so he’s still the same struggling messy artist student y’all know and love but ya know on the side there’s a whole ass zombie apocalypse going down haha enlarged emotion amirite ! under the cut are some PLOTS ( albeit kinda sucky ) for the event along with my answers for the task regarding charrie development ! p.s. i skipped out one of the questions as Hani is not anyone official so it seemed unnecessary to his character.
Think about your character’s area they live in– how would this impact your survival and response–how fast it spreads– so on and so forth
so Hani would still live in the inner city in Ninetrees Apartments and I’m guessing that the city would get pretty quickly contaminated and due to the population and how the inner city is actually a more crowded area due to it being cheaper to live in that the disease would spread awful quick so Hani would need to respond fast and be prepared pretty much at the first news that hit the big alert of the situation ready to escape but it would definitely give him less of a head start than some.
2. How does your character react to the rumors of zombies?
I think that Hani would be slightly doubtful at first, he isn’t the type to believe in all that but he gets that science isn’t exactly like mythology or the supernatural so eventually pretty quickly i think it would kick in that oh shit this is actually real but because it is just science gone wrong from what has been disclosed to them so far and Hani is a pretty matured and calmed type I don’t think he’d freak at this stage rather he would get a survival kit sorted and keep his bearings since by his standards it would be ten times harder to fight the zombies and survive if he’s in a constant stress, upset and panic. he needs to keep a clear head, so he does so.
3. Is your character prepared? Mentally, physically, as well as their food, home, transportation–etc situation. Have they been saving food in case of a crisis?
Hani would be prepared since the news would hit the inner city almost instantly when it was officially labelled as a crisis and the inner city would also probably recieve more help from officials and people on hand however Hani would definitely doubt those individuals intentions and suspect it was more for publicity it is still every man for himself so he would still take what he needed off them. I don’t think he would’ve gone as far as to save food and it would be pretty hard for him to protect the apartment but he does have transportation and would definitely prepare pretty much all his food when the news hit for survival storage. physically Hani is totally fighting fit though he isn’t the most muscular or buff build he is quick, agile and flexible and also being smaller does make his defensive tactics better off and he suffers no health issues internally or externally. as for mentally, it would be a little overwhelming but he isn’t in a state of panic at this stage as it is just science gone wrong and while that is scary its also manageable as long as you stay prepared and alert so he knows he needs to have a flawless headspace and he isn’t too shaken to abide by that yet.
4. Does your character know basic survival skills?
Hani does know basic survival skills, he scoffs a little at the idea of not knowing that because it doesn’t take a zombie apocalypse out break for the basics of survival to need to be known and on hand at any instance. he was taught by his father but only because as an artist he had wild ideas like that and the mindset of suffering for art so he would always take hani on his little experiments and survival trips, plus Hani saw it fit to teach himself further after living in big cities all his life and being one of the fortunate types to go to expensive schools he knew he’d need to be able to hold his own and was matured from an early age to be without parents and function like a fully grown adult and fend for himself so yes Hani is more than capable and of a resourceful intellectual mind even in unexpected situations.
5. How long do you think your character would survive?
I think Hani would survive a while, i don’t know if he’d be one of the last standing but this boy is surprising and though he doesn’t necessarily have the braun to fight off zombies or kill them with pure force. he definitely has the brains and the self control to be lethal, he would be an excellent strategist and healer on hand plus he’s always been taught to be a mature adult and sort things himself as well as raise his baby brother so he knows how to take care of others as well as himself, he pretty much made a life for himself all by himself because his parents had faith in him so he would be able to be a voice of reason and clarity throughout plus he is naturally a self controlled and resourceful thinker so he could make a lot out of what he has with the right materials as well as be a placid and grounding presence in the face of danger for himself and those around him.
6. are they afraid/frightened of the outbreak?
In moderation yes, Hani has to admit he isn’t a total hardass or immune to the danger of an outbreak while he still sees it from a scientific rather than horror point of view and that keeps him tethered it is undeniable that an aspect of it is still fearful as there is the prospect there is no cure or that the cure itself is under threat, could run out etc so yes he is slightly afraid but he isn’t panicking or showing it because it wouldn’t contribute anything to his chances of survival and not getting out of it is more frightening than the zombies themselves. with a cure or potential to get one in sight, things are bearable but without it may be a different story.
7. are they afraid/frightened of the possibility of dying and/or being turned?
i think so, though Hani is trying to convince himself to remain at a logical standpoint and mindset and from that perspective if he dies then it isn’t overly shocking in the circumstances and he can only do his best to avoid that and take each day as it comes but at the same time of course he is afraid, he’s young and hasn’t actually done anything much with his life yet or had time to make milestones so the prospect of losing that before he ever grasped it is somewhat horrifying a thought. as for being turned, it saddens him to think about it but i wouldn’t say he is afraid of that, more sympathetic to himself and others because at that point he’ll be a numb and braindead body so its not so much scary as it is upsetting as it isn’t how he’d wish for anyone to go.
8. Are they the type to turn to the chaos of the world and start vandalizing and hurting others–stealing? Or do they help as much as they can?
Its a midway line between the two for Hani, he wouldn’t hurt others but he’s not beyond stealing or causing damage if he has to do it to survive because in this situation he doesn’t see it as unethical, its the only hope they have left of living at a certain point though he definitely wouldn’t start doing it until there was risk of resources running low and if he was fighting for more than just his life it would be even more important. but Hani is also interested in helping where it fits, healing up injured people or recruiting them if they’ve got what it takes and giving them much needed food and basic necessities. he definitely doesn’t want to hurt people but he will hurt the zombies without hesitation if he or anyone else is under threat around him, even if it was a friend, if they were turning he’d try and save them but eventually if it didn’t work and he had to hurt them to end the suffering then he would but it would be the most mentally damaging thing for him
9. Do their personalities change in the panic?
For the most part I think Hani is the same but he might be less kind and of gentle nature than usual because the situation requires him to be more ruthless and silently lethal, using his mind as a weapon would be essential to him so he might be more cold and calculated to an extent though he’d still be a very caring person who massively wanted to save his friends as much as possible and heal the strangers he could and he certainly has sympathy to the zombies still despite being under threat by them.
10. How do they react when it actually happens before their eyes?
Hani would hate every moment of it and I wouldn’t put it past him to let a few silent tears slip but for the most part he would hold it together, he’d be disgusted and horrified and probably want to be sick from the despair and anger. i think its one of the only times you’d get a glimpse at the fear under his hard skin that he’s put on for the situation but for the most part he would hold it together as much as possible and only break down much later on, preferably alone.
11. Is your character physically inclined? Or mentally?
Hani is definitely more mentally inclined but though physically wouldn’t be his strong suit i think he’d give it a good shot and he’d be good enough at it to use it to his best ability, it probably would work but he’d be better at defense than attacking and would probably need more weaponry to be able to fight the zombies, most likely at his best with the element of surprise on his side too. but mentally? he’d be the go to guy for strategy and keeping some order in form as well as making the most of resources or using what they have to become a better means of survival equipment.
12. Will they go full force fighting the zombies or will they outsmart them?
its a bit of both but definitely preferred for Hani to outsmart them, its his best weapon against them other than physical ones because he is definitely not of the build to be the best at fighting them or combat unless he has surprise on hand to go with it and an absolute state of kill or get killed but mentally he can outsmart them, traps and defense and strategy for him would be flawless against them plus he is agile, athletic and of a smaller faster more flexible build so being a means to distract them and keep them engaged whilst dodging their attacks and not fighting would be possible for him for a while in dire situations before he could get himself away from them, he could hold them off.
13. How far do you think your character will last?
Hani might not be one of the last standing but who knows honestly? it depends on the zombies more, how they naturally are and how they progress with time especially when the people start fighting back but i would be willing to bet he could last to be very near to being one of the last standing if he was cunning enough about it.
14. What kind of zombie would they probably be? Smarter? Stronger? faster? Slower?
Hani would be a zombie who was smarter definitely which would make him one of the more lethal zombies if he were to get turned so it would probably be best to make sure particularly that he doesn’t as a smarter zombie would certainly be much harder to face off and could have the power to teach other zombies giving them the upper hand or a fair fight and he would be faster too as he is already an athletic and agile type with a fairly small build. he wouldn’t be one of the strongest with brute force but that might actually be more surprising and alarming as a zombie.
GENERAL PLOTS :
your muse is injured in an attack, there’s debate over whether they have been bitten or not and the group has split minds on what to do but hani lays eyes on you and knows instantly he isn’t going to be able to walk away and as the only half fit medic on the rugged team its ultimately up to him. he could try and save you or leave you, so he brings you in the strongest hope he can fight it off for you but god knows how he’ll cope if he can’t, theres a danger he’s going to have to see you dead either way and one might be at his hands, how do both deal with that?
your muse and Hani aren’t exactly getting along, your muse is all brute force and fast thinking and Hani is well...the total opposite plus he has sympathy to the zombies underlying and it makes your muse tense though deep down they know Hani isn’t crazy and won’t do something dumb to try and save the zombies or protect them when they’re feral its still an uneasy thing between them and when they’re sent out to get resources and end up stranded...they’re sure gonna have to find a way to get along, and fast.
your muse and Hani are best friends and your muse was the first person Hani went to when finding out about the outbreak, there’s no way in hell that they’re losing each other through this thing and they’ve got each others backs having to shift the best friend role up to a ride or die as well but they might just be able to bear this thing if they’ve got each other. now its not just down to protecting their own asses but also their platonic soulmates too and its a lot of weight to carry, there may be a few bumps in the road but your muse is sworn to going down with hani if it has to be and hani equally inclined for yours.
Hani saves your muse in an attack, they’re fearing its all over before its even really began and on the brink of being turned and deserted when hani suddenly is in the place the zombie stood and said zombie is pretty gruesomely dead on the ground while a disarmingly brave boy stands before your muse with a spiked bat, its not the most perfect hero saves the damsel scenario but your muse is indebted and vows to guard hani’s life just as tirelessly from that point on. - likewise this is also up for reverse as an additional and hani being saved and indebted to your muse.
hani is bitten, his life is slowly draining from him and the worst has happened where he is becoming nothing but a shell of himself...he knows this, you know this but your muse is still sat there, desperately trying to put back together what can’t be fixed and if only hani had the strength left in him he’d beg for your muse to run but god dammit you’re hellbent on saving him and the life won’t leave him quick enough but he can feel himself losing more and more each day...you need to kill him, hani is begging you to kill him as soon as it becomes too close.
your muse is an official of some sort and hani’s brain has always been his best weapon in this apocalypse, he is sent to get some intel on the situation and find out more about how things got so bad and why more isn’t being done while keeping the official sweet and not blowing his cover, he’s the team strategist and spy and he can’t fail this because it might be that these rebels are all the hope there is left of finding a cure and fighting authority. - this could go in many directions with unique development to the characters involved. most primarily they could side with hani and be willing to help even with cover blown or they could be weary and sly.
