Name: Vuk Mikhailov Torlakovič
(V-uu-k Mikh-eye-eel-ou Tohr-lha-koff-ich)
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight

Weapons:
- MP-443 Grach Pistol (He kept it from his army days)
- Kalashnikov AK-47 S (Found it on a dead soldier)
- Combat Knife (Had it since he was 23)
- His own body

Biography: Until the age of 10, Vuk resided in Kruševac, a city in Serbia, with his father. They lived on a farm filled with animals that Vuk loved to take care of. His favorite were the horses and there was not a day that he wouldn't go riding. Though Vuk wasn't aware of it, they were in big financial troubles and his father was forced to sell the farm and all the animals that Vuk considered to be his friends. His father loved him dearly, but knew he couldn't provide for him enough to have a normal childhood, so he sent him off to his mother at the age of 10. That was a mistake.
His mother, Anastasia, was a woman who knew no responsibilities. With a rich husband, she was able to afford living in a penthouse in the city of Moscow and that was a huge environment change - Vuk didn't know how to deal with it at first. As if that wasn't bad enough, he also didn't speak the language and had to learn it as he went. Luckily for him, he is a fast learner and picked it up quickly.
Anastasia was one of the worst mothers you could imagine - she spent her days whoring and drinking around, even did an occasional drug. When she would finally come home she would either ignore Vuk completely or shout at and beat him up. Her husband, Dmitry, was the complete opposite. He was a kind and hardworking man who loved Anastasia dearly, but even a blind person could see that she was just using him. Though he was mostly absent because his job required traveling, he would always bring Vuk nice souvenirs from his journeys and even took him along a few times, but even he could see that Anastasia was not fit to be a mother. Because he couldn't just quit his job, he offered Vuk to send him back to his father with enough money to continue their life. Vuk, who didn't want to take advantage of him, refused and rather chose to join the army at 16. Though the Russian army was tough, Vuk, who was always a hard worker, didn't mind. He was amongst the best there and was recruited into Spetsnaz at 20. There, he quickly advanced in ranks and soon became a commander. He held the position for four years before quitting at 27. All the horror he had seen scarred him for life and still give him nightmares.
He took up boxing as a recreational sport and at 29 decided to move to America. Having already learned the language in school and the army he had no problems, but he always felt like an outsider because of his accent. There, he found a job as a shooting instructor that he maintained until the apocalypse. He joined the group two months after that and has done his best to keep them alive, but all the losses weigh heavily on his shoulders.


Appearance:

- Hair: Black and messy, spiking in all directions

- Special: There are several scars strewn across his body and a large tattoo of a panther climbing up can be seen weaving its way past his ribcage and up his shoulder.

- Height: 6'5 feet (195.58cm)

- Eye Color: So dark brown they're nearly black

- Skin Color: Tanned

- Body Type: 176 pounds (79kg), he has an athletic figure

Fears:
- Losing survivors
- Getting shot: He was shot once before, and it was not nice.
- Clowns
- Dislocating his knees: This seems to be an irrational fear, but he can't seem to get over it
- Getting his episode in the middle of a fight or while others are around.

Weaknesses:
- His selfless nature often gets him in danger.
- He seems to have no sense of self-preservation.
- He still suffers from horrific nightmares. The reason for them are his childhood and time with the Spetsnaz.
- Vuk is a passionate smoker and will grow very agitated and irritated if he can't get his hands on cigarettes.
- He sometimes gets day terrors that stop him from functioning properly.
- An old bullet wound rests on his left calf and it still sometimes hurts like a bitch.
- He is more of a brawn over brains kind of guy, also shown in his hand to hand fighting. Though he is skilled, he tends to focus on the brute strength of his punches rather than strategic way. This can wear him out.
- Weak defense - Yeah, he will charge right into action with no proper skill of defending himself. He'd rather just keep attacking.

Strengths:
- He is pretty handy with explosives and can build simpler bombs.
- He can also plan strategically, but only in calm and quiet environments where he's not under stress.
- Languages: Vuk can fluently speak Serbian, Russian and English, along with some German and Italian.
- He has plenty of stamina and strength.
- His years with the military have given him great skill with guns.
- He can use his own body as a weapon, and his knowledge of martial arts include boxing and the spetsnaz military training.

Likes:
- Cigarettes
- Fighting
- Protecting those around him
- Killing zeds
- Boxing

Dislikes:
- Weak people
- Drugs
- Alcohol
- His mother
- Relationships

Personality: Most of the time, Vuk seems like a very cold and uninviting person. He is blunt and will never sugar coat anything, so don't ask questions if you can't handle the truth. "Shoot first, ask questions later," seems to be his life motto, often shown in his lack of hesitancy when it comes to using violence. Killing people to him is as normal as breathing for others. Though he will grin or smirk quite often, it's very rare to see him smile for real.
His selfless nature comes through whenever those around him are in danger - he will not hesitate to jump in and save his allies, despite the fact that he despises the weak - a trait he picked up in the army. He completely lacks any sense of self preservation, often putting him in grave danger - luckily, his amazing skills - or pure luck - have saved him every time.
There are times when he completely loses it though - all those pent up emotions come rushing to the surface, resulting in him going into an uncontrollable fit. Sometimes it results in him hurting or even killing others, other times he hurts himself.
He can also hold a grudge and is not on the forgiving side, so try not to get on his bad side.

Biography: Dante was raised in a loving, but strict family that always pushed him to do his best because he was their only child.
After finishing a medical college at the top of his class at 18, Dante joined the Marines as a field doctor.
Though it was tough, Dante didn't mind and always strived to be the best. At 21 he met a man there that soon became his best friend, Jack. What started out as friendship soon turned into mutual love for each other and eventually, the two quit marines together and started a life together, even going so far as to adopt an 8 year old girl.
Jack died soon after the apocalypse started, after he sacrificed his life for his significant other, something Dante still blames himself for. Dante made a promise to himself that he would do anything for his daughter and keep her alive, even if it means he has to die. It's the only thing that has kept him going for so long.

Name: Reesa Shado
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight

Weapons:
- A switch blade
- An old revolver that doesn't work anymore, but it's great for scaring people

Biography: Reesa was found abandoned in an old house as a baby and sent to the nearest orphanage. Seeing as she never knew her parents, she didn't truly miss them, but she sometimes wondered why exactly they just left hee in that house.
Despite the fact that the orphanage was very poor and that their stomachs were rarely full, Reesa didn't complain. The workers there were nice and she had freedom. Even if she technically wasn't supposed to go outside by herself, Reesa often did so. She would explore the outside and, by the age of 8, she knew every single nook and cranny in their neighborhood.
She still vividly remembers the day she was adopted. Visitors were rare, especially those that were considering adoption, and the workers told the children to put on their best clothes and gather in the main hall. As usual, Reesa was sneaking around the neighborhood and wasn't even aware they were about to have visitors. She returned to the orphanage a few minutes later, frowning because there was a car in the driveway, but still didn't think much of it. She pushed the large oak door open, stepping into the main hall with torn clothes, a dirty face and sticks stuck in her messy hair. The headmaster told her to go tidy up immediately, but the two man standing there just laughed and the shorter one, Dante approached her with a kind smile. Reesa immediately took a liking to him. The three were given some privacy in one of the offices to talk it out and Reesa was elated when he found out they wanted to adopt her
They went to her new home soon afterwards and it was like a dream come true. They were a perfect family, until the outbreak when everything went to hell.

Personality: Reesa is a sweet girl that can win over almost anyone with just one puppy look. She likes to tell jokes and entertain those around him, but can also hold her own in any verbal confrontation, partially due to growing up with a sassy father, partially because of her high IQ and the many books she has read.
She is a bit of a coward and will usually run away from a physical fight, normally to her father's side. She has a positive outlook on the world and believes everything will resolve itself in time, but still thinks everyone should carry a weapon and kill those monsters.
Reesa will always help those around her, as long as it doesn't involve him risking her own life.
Seeing as this kid absolutely adores nature and climbing, you will usually find her sitting on a high tree branch or running through forests and exploring.

Name: Jax Walker
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Sexuality:Pansexual

Weapons:
- A crossbow with five arrows
- A skinning knife
- A big switch blade

Bio: Jax was raised on a farm, far away from everything. His parents were good to him, but they both died in a car accident when Jax and his twin brother were just little kids. Having nowhere else to go, their grandfather decided to take them in.
The first memories Jax has of him are of the old man always giving them candy and telling jokes. But all that changed when his wife, Jax's grandmother, fell of her horse and broke her neck, instantly killing herself. The man changed so abruptly Jax could barely register it.
There were no more smiles or candy, and the twins had to work their asses off on the farm, tending to the animals and going on hunts to bring home food. His brother was always the better hunter, but he never rubbed it in Jax's face, even when the teen couldn't hit a target that was only a few feet away from him.
Jax got better over the years, of course, but not before getting punished severely several times - each missed shot or poorly skinned animal would earn him a lash with a whip over his bare back. To top this all off, the twins were told that their parents hadn't actually died in a car accident - they were shot by a hateful gang who wanted their money.
HIs twin wanted to protect him, of course, but Jax begged him not to, and so the twins suffered through this lifestyle, and even when they were finally of legal age they couldn't move away, due to the lack of money.
When the apocalypse started, the twins stayed on the farm for a month before it got overrun. Their grandfather was killed, and the two were forced to part ways as a large herd of deadheads got between them.
To this day, the only thing that has kept Jax going is the thought of finding his twin.

Appearance:

Hair: Dirty blonde/brown (depends on the lighting), reaches his ears, messy
Specialties: Whip lashes on his back, a black brow piercing, a gauge on his left ear, several tattoos strewn across his arms (He could never afford tattoos, but luckily for him, one of his best friends was a tattoo artist and made them for Jax for free.)
Height: 6'3
Eyes: Chocolate brown
Skin: Tanned and leathery from spending all that time working underneath the scorching sun
Body: Athletic


Fears:
- Dying
- Finding his twin dead
- His grandfather
- Whips
- Discovering a new form of a deadhead
- Running out of arrows
- Firearms
Weaknesses:
- Jax is afraid of guns, and therefore would never hold, let alone fire one, even if his life is in danger
- He can be quite unpredictable: his fight or flight instinct seems to change daily, and you never know just what his next action might be
- He trusts too easily
- Getting attached quickly might be a good trait, but not in a monster infested world when your friends dying in front of your eyes is something normal
- His ego: he believes he can do almost anything, which can put him and his group in danger
- Close combat: sure, he knows some basics he's taught himself since the outbreak, but he's still shitty
- He has troubles functioning without orders, but will still often disobey
- Has a bipolar disorder that seems to be getting worse lately
- And lastly, lung cancer stage II. As medicine seems to be hard to come by these days and he often has coughing fits and shortness of breath, life is not exactly easy for Jax. Not to mention that he probably has less than a year to live. He keeps this a secret from everyone.
Strengths:
- Jax is pretty great with a crossbow, but not a master marksman
- He is very loyal to his friends and those close to him
- He can survive in the wilderness with ease, as his grandfather taught him
- Skinning animals and knowing which parts are edible and how to cook them properly? No problem
- His knowledge of some plant life and their properties has already saved his life

Likes:
- Beer. Don't try to get between him and his beer
- Alcohol in general
- Fire
- Dogs
- Kissing and sex
- Making jokes
Dislikes:
- Staying inside
- Being pitied and looked down upon
- Humorless people
- Children
- Animal abuse
- Cigarettes and smoking
