born in 1995 to john david walker and constance marie walker, née laurier, olivia was the youngest of two. her mother left the familly without a word when olivia was 11 and her father died from lung cancer in 2023. olivia was always a free spirit with a rebellious strike but when her mother left, things only got worse. she never tried to get in touch with her mother and doesn't know if she's still alive. to her, the ones that stays are the ones worth loving.

the walker came from a long line of ranchers in montana, their family ruling the town and montana. what they did to stay on top has never entirely been a secret and her father, david, should have been the one to inherit the family ranch after her grandfather's death but things went sideways as david butted head with his younger brother. working behind everyone's back, it was the youngest walked brother that got the ranch and olivia, her father and brother were told to leave.

moving into a small apartment, the family had to adjust to a new life, the one of pariah. david opened a bar, the wild horses, and made. small living from it. olivia rebellious nature became stronger, her edges sharper. she was prone to fighting and would get in trouble. she never spoke much of everything she lost and anyone bringing it up to her learned to not do it again.

before they were forced to live the family ranch, olivia lived for her horse, elsie. she would do competitions and made a small name for herself, one that she left behind. after leaving the ranch, she has never mounted a horse.

for a while she attended community college but studies weren't for her and her father's health was declining. olivia had always been a daddy's girl and she dropped out to work full time at the bar.

the virus seemed to hit bozeman later, the town small and remote but when it become clear that hell was coming, olivia decided to stay in town for as long as she could, hoping to ride it out there but things didn't work out that way.

𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑.

it didn't take long for the city to fell. stores were raided, people turned against each others with only one goal in mind; saving themselves. it felt ridiculous to held on to the bar for as long as she did, guarding it against people she was once friendly with but it was the last thing she had left of her father. his legacy. her brother had to drag her out just as a horde of infected finally made it in.

olivia and her brother didn't know who to trust but they knew there was power in number so they tried to make it with other people. it always ended the same, with them running away as quickly as they could, either because their small camp was attacked or because they had stolen something and needed to leave. there were no real laws anymore and if everyone else took what they wanted when they wanted, they didn't see why they shouldn't do the same.

eventually they met someone that told them about the shopping mall and they decided to follow them. the life they had been living was exhausting and they yearned for a sense of community again. olivia threw herself into it, training and doing everything she could to be an asset to the community. still, the strict set of rules was not one she was used with and it has been impossible to get that rebellious side of her to settle down.

born in 1989 to emiliano alejandro lópez and daniela maria lópez, née garcia, santiago was the eldest of four. his brother, luis antonio lópez, died in 2020 from brain cancer and his sister, carmen daniela lópez died one year after the wildfire virus spread. both deaths weighed heavily on santi, who was always close with his family.

the lópez were poor but always made the best of it, both parents working two jobs to provide for their family and santi started to work to help as soon as he could. santiago has always been very protective of his family and it was well known that anyone who messed with his siblings would see him come defend them.

santi has always been more street smart than book smart and he barely graduated high school. studies were for his siblings, not him, and it was almost a miracle he had a diploma, considering how often he skipped classes. his mother wanted to see all of her children graduate and it's the only reason santi did it.

as soon as high school was over, he started to work full time as a mechanic, at the same place he had been working part time for a while. santi had been working on his bike since he got it at 16.

santi always had a soft spot for the sister of his best friend and as they both entered adulthood, he realized that what he felt went beyond friendly feelings and for a time, he cleaned up his act for andrea. she was there for him when his brother died and for a while, their relationship was the best thing in his life and santi worshiped the ground andy walked on.

thing started to turn sour when he got in deeper with some of his friends, andrea's brother included. santi was slowly turning to the life of a criminal, wearing the patches of a motorcycle club. the weight and stress of it all changed him and santi started to pull away from andrea, both in an attempt to protect her and because he was starting to hate the man he was becoming.

𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑.

as soon as things starting to go south, santiago urged andrea to leave the city with him. crowded places were becoming too dangerous. getting both of his sisters and andrea to safety was the only thing that mattered to him. he had no real plan, no real connections that could help them, it was only survival from then on.

when his sister died one year into the so called end of the world, it broke something in him. it was like the little hope he had left that things could get better vanished entirely. he hadn't been able to protect her and santi once again felt worthless. they went from groups to groups, never settling anywhere long enough to set real roots, if such a thing was still possible.

then the worst happened, the group was attacked and andrea and him were separated. santi was a shit boyfriend, but he loved her and for so long, he looked for her. it was only about six months ago that he stopped doing so. maybe it was easier to think she was dead than the alternative, that she was still out there but without him. he had failed her, had started to do so years ago.

a chance encounters had him and the few of his group being recruited to the sea cliff marina. he was hurt, his groups was starving, there was no other real choices. he never expected to see andrea again but it seemed that life had other plans for him.

𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒.

ANDREA ROMERO. his ex-girlfriend and the one he thought was the love of his life, even if he didn't think he was worthy of her. the two got separated years ago after an attack on their group and after looking for her for two years, santi thought she was dead. the feelings he had for her never entirely died.

MARIANA LÓPEZ. the only family member he still has and one he'd do anything to protect. santi has always been there for his siblings and he has grown even more protective as he lost everyone else but her.

NEW PROMISES. it started when he still had hopes that andrea was alive, while he was still looking for her. it was nothing more than sex, the relief and tenderness he needed. it wasn't supposed to mean anything but it's not so clear anymore and while santi cares for them, he can't bring himself to love again.

RIGHT HAND. being some sort of leader for his small group was never the plan but against all odds, people started to look up to him, to the way he didn't shy from the hard choices that had to be made for their survival. next to his sister, this is the person he trust the most.
