It's Just Who You Are
Likes: Rainfall/thunderstorms, lake fishing (especially post-apocalypse), open highways, music, shooting his gun, looting, and meeting other survivors.
Dislikes: Dark, enclosed spaces, hostile survivors, getting ambushed, most animals post-apocalypse, hot/humid weather, and tight spaces.
Strengths: Optimism, he tends to see the positive side of things and in the long run this helps keep him mentally sound and able to make good decisions.
Physical strength. He trains often and works out enough to stay fit and on top of his game to be able to talk out walkers.
Leadership. He's good at strategizing and can lead a group in a tight situation.
Habits: Ace has a newfound friendship with alcohol since the apocalypse. Sometimes that's all you can do to cope with what's happened to the world.
Flaws: He's not quick to trust others. He likes meeting people and is generally optimistic about them but he's often worried about their motives.. especially in this current environment. He is somewhat clumsy and can sometimes slip in the worst possible moments and either make too much noise and give himself away or stumble and lose a very important item in a river or a large horde.
Dreams/goals: Ace's dreams and goals now all lead to the same end result; safety and a sense of society again. Before the apocalypse, his goal was to become a doctor or to obtain some sort of medical field profession. Post-apocalypse his goal is to help others as much as possible and seek out a society where his current skillset can help others survive.
Fears: He ultimately fears death. He knows it is inevitable but it is his main driving factor for survival. He doesn't let this fear make decisions for him, but he does make decisions based around that fear. Meaning he won't do something stupid to get himself killed because he's scared, but he will actively avoid a situation where he knows the odds are stacked against him.
His other fear is getting captured by a barbaric group of survivors and being made into a slave/prisoner. The only thing he fears worse than death is the loss of his freedom and ability to properly defend himself.
Overall Personality: Ace is a very outgoing and charming individual. He's headstrong and has a good sense of family/leadership. He's optimistic and often sees the best in even the worst kinds of people. He's a smooth talker and can usually settle differences among people fairly easily, or at least help them come to some sort of mutual conclusion.
On the other hand, Ace isn't always quick to trust everyone he meets. He can be somewhat stand-offish or skittish with strangers as you can never be too sure of what their intentions are. He's a helper and loves to help people in need or that are injured and this can often come at a price because he knows that any day now he could stop to help the wrong type of person and very easily be taken captive. The good in him leaves him with no other option, however.
Even Though Yesterday's Gone
History: Liam was an only child who still lived at home with his parents. He was an avid video game player, a college student, but didn't have very much luck with the ladies and wasn't really one for sports.
Before the apocalypse Liam was studying in med school to become a doctor. He was doing well, making good grades, making lots of friends, making his parents proud. One day while he was at school the news broke out about the dead reanimating and eating people's flesh. He didn't believe it at first and he and his friends brushed it off as an isolated incident that surely the government and CDC would control. Living in Atlanta, his city was one of the first that was the hardest hit. Liam, or Ace, didn't realize this until it was gruesomely too late.
When Ace arrived home that same exact day as the outbreak, he discovered his front door had been seemingly forced open. There was shattered glass across the floor as he stepped into the main hallway. He crept slowly through the house asking if anyone was home, he found no one but he did find puddles of blood in multiple parts of the house. He lived with only his parents but there seemed to be a lot more blood here than what they would have left behind. Devastated, Liam turned on the tele to learn more about the incident that was going on. As he did so, he heard commotion coming from the streets outside, and then a series of loud bangs he quickly discerned to be gunshots. He hurridly closed the door and looked out the window that had been partially shattered and saw a handful of people outside fighting off what looked to be the walking dead... and this is where his story begins.
