have you heard of WESLEY DRAKE? he is a TWENTY-ONE year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like HERMAN TOMMERAAS. he is DEVOUT, which helps him as a SCOUT at LIONCREST MANOR. however, he can also be ENIGMATIC, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as the CONTRITE. ( astra, 18, she/her/they/them, pst. )

pls like/reply to this post and i will hit u up to plot asap !!

ok ok time to introduce my least favorite boi to everyone who doesn’t know him ??? basically, his name USED to be noah ashbury so if you ever see me mentioning my noah from the old days... this is lit him, just younger and dumber ;~)

but uhhhhh.... here are the important things to note before reading: 

TW: suicide, anxiety, cancer, and death

ok so basically ?? noah is from malibu, california. he was born to the best parents ever who loved him unconditionally but by the time he was 12 he lost his dad in a car accident. ever since then he’s struggled with depression and anxiety tbh ?? oh yeah and to older hs ppl that knew him as an only child he uh... has a sister now :’)))

by the time he was 16 he tried to kill himself and was hospitalized for a bit after. it was a really close call and ever since then, he hasn’t had an attempt. he’s just been sad and tired of a lot of things

his mom ended up getting cancer which made him put off going to college. he went away for half a year before coming back and deciding that being away from his mom was just too stressful for the both of them so he just stayed at home and switched to a much closer school.

throughout his life he was always??? i surfer boy. he loves the beach and was raised in a nice beach house and will probs cry if u bring it up. he misses it a lot and he was such a good surfer that he was sponsored by people and had a big following on instagram based off his looks and skill. 

he his depression noah is... lit such a happy pup. he's learned to be really good at exuding confidence and happiness and keeping the sadness within himself. rlly, ever since his mom got cancer he’s felt the need to hide what he feels which is why he’s a scout. it gives him time to be alone and be himself

for the first few months of the outbreak, he chilled with his mom in malibu. they stayed at campsites and just...lived life. it was calming and happy but eventually, his mother passed and he had to move on. now he’s just in boulder looking for his older sister who went out to college here ??? not sure what i want to do w/ that yet but we’ll uh... see if i ever remember to put in a wc lmaooo

anyways he’s also daddy diy out here and in the words of annie and i: “we love a diy man” and he will make u pretty cards with pom poms and 3d pop ups to cheer u up

he’s a soft boi but also not and will to murder u except for rory. he loves to 2 annoyingly nice

have you heard of ARABELLA AMERICA COLLINS? she is a NINETEEN year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like PEYTON LIST. she is SELF CONFIDENT, which helps her survive as a ROGUE. however, she can also be PROUD, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as THE MILLION DOLLAR BABY.

the trash is back, hello and welcome to my ted talk where i will give u insight into the life of this absolute trash of a being whom i love n adore so buckle up folks bc it’s a bumpy ride ( its 1 am let me live) okay i tried making it short that didn’t work hahahaha im sorry but if anyone wants 2 plot like this and i will hit u up with all my love n affection

 born in los angeles, california she was one of a pair, her parents had been blessed with not only one but two precious children, preston and arabella now had been born into one of the wealthiest families in america which initially would be the dream of any kid but what no one knew was that it came with a lot of consequences. the twins grew up in a life of luxury, there would never be a lack of anything in the collins’ household but it all came with a price. the collins last name was a heavy weight to carry, from the start of her childhood arabella was taught she wasn’t like the rest of the kids at school, she had something that they didn’t, she had beauty, sophistication, power and a bank account that was fully loaded with a number you could not even imagine. obviously like most rich kids, preston and arabella barely ever saw their parents (and when they did it wasn’t pretty) their kids seemed to be there just for show just so that the media could pay more attention to the collins family and they did. the collins twins seemed to be everyone’s adoration, everyone’s except their own parents. 

growing up arabella became the center of attention everywhere she went,  and at school there was nothing she enjoyed more than making fun of all the little girls that surrounded her, even at a young age she would befriend them and act sweet until the moment where she was able to destroy them with one single word in front of everyone. some called it seeking attention from her parents ( and they were totally right) but for arabella it was all about showing who had the most power and to show that she was truly unbreakable. all throughout middle school and high school arabella had become the perfect girl, every single girl envied her, they wanted to be her friend, they wanted to be HER. what everyone didn’t know was hell she and her brother lived behind closed doors, all the screams had only gotten louder and louder, her father had become an aggressive drunk that took his anger out on his kids and there was nothing that would stop him. 

bad habits, arabella developed a lot of those, finding comfort in whatever she could find to forget the hell that she lived in but her parents didn’t allow it any further, sending her away for a few months to ‘fix’ her ( as if a few therapies would fix 16 years of damage). arabella went through with it, acting fine as if nothing had happened, everyone outside had been convinced she was away on some abroad trip and when arabella left the facility that’s exactly what she told people. she didn’t feel any better, on the contrary she just felt worse and things were only going to go downhill from there. her parents were dead, she’d been told it had been a planned murder but arabella knew that wasn’t true, she knew that they had done it themselves. she felt guilt, guilt for not shedding a single tear at their funeral, guilt for not taking any time to grieve because now it was her and preston’s responsibility to make sure the empire their parents built didn’t burn to the ground but they were just kids and kids didn’t have to have this much responsibility, right?

throughout the two years that followed, arabella learnt all the ropes to the multiple businesses her parents ran, it was hard work but on the side she decided to also make a name for herself, taking up multiple sponsorship campaigns and even starting a business of her own she was overworked, arabella finally understood what her mother meant by telling her that having the collins last name was a curse rather than a blessing. she tried to see preston as often as she could as they were both in this together but sometimes she was the one who pushed everyone away, too scared that they’d see her being weak or showing any signs of the wreck she had become behind close doors so she kept her distance thought it was safer that way. 

reports of the undead roaming the streets were everywhere, on all the news, on every single channel and it had all hit a bit too quickly. arabella was scared, confused and in panic, a girl like her wasn’t prepared for this but she did what she saw everyone else do, she packed a bag of the most priced possessions, probably more than she needed and took off. she had tried reaching her preston,  but all her attempts had failed which only made her to assume the worst so she set off on her own, she had no idea where to but eventually she settled in boulder, colorado. it wasn’t a place she was used to, it was new and arabella didn’t like it, this entire situation had caught her off guard and now more than ever she decided to ignore her feelings and thoughts, thoughts of if her brother was alright and if her life would ever be back to the way it was.   

right these keep getting longer im sorry but here are some fun facts abt this absolute piece of trash

her real middle name is alaska but her dad was like yikes no and told everyone it was america 

always dresses up in her designer clothes, always will wear something nice bc even tho theres an apocalypse arabella has to stay a fashion icon

she speaks fluent french bc of her mom and portugese bc of her nannies that basically raised her and preston 

shes a rouge and has a little house she was able to turn into her own tiny mansion with a lot of hard work and getting other people to do it for her 

probably carries around a tiny hand sanitizer

actually is smarter than she looks, shes been able to survive this far and i honestly have no idea how but i mean she isnt as dumb as people assume she is from looking at her

basically this vine only she does care about her hair

hey !! i’m al, i’m eighteen, and i’m totally not gonna start my intro the way LITERALLY everyone starts their intro. anyway, it took me about 24 hours to write this bio and it turned into something similar to a shitty bio. i made it a page on my blog for it and i’m linking it right here. other stuff can be found under this cute lil cut right here.

he also has some stats, just for fun. anyway, there are some things i didn’t put in his bio that i’ll list here. also, if you wanna plot, my discord handle is oingo boingo #2294 and i’ll reply to it faster than tumblr ims.

*edit !! i had to post this privately and resend it because tumblr was bugging. hopefully you can read everything now.

he plays the guitar !! he’s been playing it casually for a good 15 years, but started playing it more when he came back from rehab. the one he keeps with him is. old and torn up. but it’s still playable i promise. i’m coming up with a playlist of all of the songs he plays and it’ll be out in the next few days.

tobias has become such a dad. like, he’s got the jokes, he’s got the vibe. he’s actually here to make everyone happy and forget about the shit that happened way back when. not a bad bone is his body, really.

this is the most. irrelevant headcanon but i thought of it now it’s going here. his daughter likes to collect rocks, like, all the time. and tobias is like “hey can we. like. not.” and she collects the rocks in her cute my little pony backpack i’m in love.

his go-to joke is “what does a vegetarian zombie eat ??” “gRAAAIIIIIINNNNS”

i’m hoping to send some wcs to the main in the next week or so for his wife and the raider college friend he has. because ya boy is a fan of love triangles. he did some stuff with his partner on the road when he was dealing with the ‘loss’ of his wife. it’s really interesting. if anyone wants to talk about it before i send it in i’d be happy to send you my word vomit.

uhhh lets see what else...... my wc page isn’t done yet and i cannot trust that it’ll ever be done because i’m LAZY.

his weapon of choice is his a sawed-off shotgun. however, it’s not always convenient in situations where it’s better to stay quiet, and that’s where his bond bullpup comes in handy.

that’s it !! bc i wanna get to starters and replies and plotting and whatever. message me !!

[tenderbled]

have you heard of DELILAH ROSENBERG? she is a TWENTY ONE year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like MILENA TSCHARNTKE. she is GREGARIOUS, which helps her as a GATHERER at BALFOUR SENIOR LIVING. however, she can also be PASSIVE so i’d watch out for them. they are known as the SANGUINE.

* shane madej vc * ‘ sup ghouls ! i’m super happy to be back and screaming abt it i’m shannae aka. nae, 18, she/her/, acst & ur residential aussie grandma who gets easily distracted by sleep and conspiracy theories. hello ! —– i’ll be playing delilah rosenberg, my darlin’ doter, which you can find more about below !

for those of you that were in pre-revamp hellstate, delilah might seem a bit familiar in personality. i Love recycling old characters into new ones, , ,i can’t let my Babes gO. so deli is a mixture of a few of my older characters ! but more specifically indiana stokely & evangeline czerny.

me: just write a basic rundown, make it short

me @ me knowing damn well i’m Not going to make it short:

tw. alcoholism, drug use, child neglect/abuse, death.

born & raised in des moina, iowa, into a very dysfunctional family (  think. . the gallaghers. yikes !  )  her parents descending from augsburg, germany prior to them expanding their family ; they didn’t have much before let alone when they fled to america for a clean slate -- but they thrived, somehow the rosenberg’s seem to always do.  

delilah was the youngest of five children ! and being the baby of the family mean’t that she was shielded from the life her eldest siblings had built to survive on a day to day basis ; although not completely. their parents? were barely sober most days and sometimes the children didn’t see their mother or father for a few days to a few weeks at a time ; they didn’t support them, they didn’t care for them, some would even suggest they didn’t even love them ----- the family wasn’t exactly viewed in high regards around the city, they were considered untrustworthy & wild ; the thieves & manipulators of the cul de sac. the type you shut your door on unless you wanted a few pieces of your silverware missing by night’s end.

delilah always carried her heart on her sleeve, she had a gentle touch and a warm soul, one that could see the possibilities in anyone ; her parents saw the weakness and often exploited it to their benefit, and it took awhile ( and a lot of lectures from her siblings. ) to learn that there is more to being a parent than just having the title -- she grew used to the absence, to the way her family lived, how temporary things where ; she learnt to lie without fault & run faster than those she was running from. a survival streak that was formed at birth, and one, you could say, that has helped aid her in surviving the end of the world.

as delilah grew, so did her love for music --- at any opportunity she’d sing along to the music playing through the radio or twirl to the tunes. her oldest sister, clarissa, managed to snag an acoustic guitar for delilah’s tenth birthday, and every night following was filled with music for the whole neighborhood to listen to. when she was twelve, she was offered work at the local dance studio in return for lessons, to which delilah was thrilled over. ( not to be That Mom. but ! she was pretty darn talented in every musical aspect. ) 

her mom had grown envious over her daughter’s talents, and also the fact that delilah began viewing her dance instructor as more of a mother than her own mother. mama rosenberg didn’t appreciate ! and forced delilah to revoke her dream of pursuing her passion into something more ; she dropped out of school at 16 to find a job and help towards the bills and loans that were against the rosenberg name while fighting to keep them together ----- if it wasn’t neighbors calling on social services, it was the fact that the eldest children were becoming adults, eager to escape the life they had been raised in. none of them were exactly fond of their parents, but they loved each other, they stuck together, always. 

until they didn’t. in the end, it was just delilah and her brother left to keep the household afloat, to clean up the mess their parents made and to dodge the EVICTION NOTICES that kept appearing on the front door.  it was a struggle, and there was only so much they could do when their parents were constantly pulling them down and jeopordising their opportunities. but what COULD they do when their older siblings, the ones who protected them from their parents bad habits, addictions & neglect, were no longer around?  they were forced to endure, to put up with what their parents dished up to them on a daily basis, whether it was theft, manipulation or humiliation ; but they thrived, somehow the rosenberg’s seem to always do.  

when the apocalypse began, delilah was unemployed ; fired from two of her jobs due to her father abusing the boss at one and her mother making her daughter late to the other. she had finally lost the home she had been raised in, had lost her possessions, and the remainder of her family when her brother had gained a scholarship to university ----- she left the city of des moina behind when the infected took it, found her way into the welcoming arms of a small group that protected her from the dead ( not a big fan of those tbh -- my girl isn’t much of a fighter !  ) they eventually found their way into boulder county, where delilah discovered balfour senior living. 

* as if this isn’t long enouGH, here’s some bonus stuff !

so she’s been in boulder county for like? three months? so far !

has a cavalier king charles called chester. loves her woofer.

just wants to be your Friend, why are you trying to run away from her love

uh? enemy who? i think we should all hug it out

her moral compass needs some maintenance tho 

 it’s an avocado ! thanks ! is her in a vine

you’ll find her singing a lot ! sorry balfour :/ 

hasn’t killed a single walker thus far, doesn’t plan to tbh

i’m getting tired and this is getting loNG and i’m sorry about that ! but do feel free to hmu for plots or chats or anythinG. if you click here, you’ll see an empty wanted plots page BUT i’ll be editing it tomorrow so, , ,Check Back Soon.

have you heard of MAX TILTON? he is a 28 year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like DREW ROY. he is LEVELHEADED, which helps him as a GUARDIAN at BALFOUR. however, he can also be DISTRUSTING, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as the ALLEGIANT.

hi everyone! i’m kate & i’ll be playing my mess of a boy, max. under the cut i’ll give a little overview about him, but if it’s tl;dr you can totally just message me to plot and i’ll sum things up very concisely! i’m so excited to join you guys!

so my boy max was raised by his mother’s older sister and joined the army straight out of high school. he loved the service and felt like he learned so much there, but after his commitment ended he wanted to take the time to go home to aunt lucy and make sure she was okay and do what he could to help her out. she was killed towards the beginning of this virus craze, not even by the disease itself, but by looters in town. it took max a little under a year to find the survivors at balfour, and he hasn’t left since.

[kcllwood]

have you heard of KELLY SELWOOD? she is a 21 year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like ISABELLE FUHRMAN. she is COMPASSIONATE, which helps her as a CAREGIVER at PEARL STREET. however, she can also be INDECISIVE, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as the COWARD. ( kate, 18, she/her, est. )

hey again friends!! it’s me, kate, adding to my collection of messy humans. max was apparently not sufficient enough broken for me (though i love him dearly) and i am adding kelly to the mix!! she’s a babe, promise, and you can see why down below. please feel free to message me on discord or tumblr if you want to plot with my girl, i’d love to get her some connex!

kelly grew up in a super-average suburban family in colorado and she’s lived in-state all her life. she was always athletic and friendly, but pretty shy, and she found it difficult to make friends (other than her brother, whom she idolized) until she joined her town’s volunteer ems squad. it gave her a ton of confidence, some independence, and most importantly, a mentor. she never went to college and was a waitress and volunteer emt when the disease broke out.

things were fine in her hometown, until they weren’t, and kelly and her brother had to get out of town fast one day. they were headed east to balfour when her brother lost control of the car and they crashed. he was unconscious and kelly thought he was dead, so... she left him. she ran until she got to pearl street and luckily, they decided to take her in. she’s been offering her services as caregiver ever since.

[ctstrophes]

have you heard of LIGHTS MAVOR? she is a TWENTY year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like INDIA EISLEY. she is OBSERVANT, which helps her as a COLLECTOR at LIONSCREST MANOR. however, she can also be VOLATILE, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as the THE ANARCHIST.

the mess is back!! honestly i missed this kid so much!! im rlly tired to do a rlly long bio so under the cut u will find the essential info to this absolute trash bag of a kid!!!!!  right, i might redo this someday and properly do it but here we go

lights was born as angelica marino, she grew up in new york city but her family was very conservative and closed off, they never let lights do anything that was outside of the ‘normal’ or they classified it as a sin. lights had to grow up like this but she started questioning the ‘whys’ of many things from a very young age making her mother angry at her and even though her father understood the young girl he had to agree with her mom so it was all very difficult yikes!!! 

she attended an all girls catholic primary and middle school, she tried never to question her parents anymore but once she got to high school her father convinced her mother to enroll her in a ‘normal’ high school, it was still a pirvate school but now lights finally had the chance to get to know more people and to really learn about the things her parents had held her back from but oh boy that was a mistake. lights had become like a kid in a candy shop, she had learnt so much that she forgot what was right from wrong and now things that her mother had told her were sins just seemed like normal things for her but she couldn’t let her parents now she was changing and learning so instead she started deceiving them ( talk abt hannah montana living that double life) 

once lights reached the age of 17 her moral compass was more than broken, she saw wrong things as right things and probably made more mistakes than anyone else but she didn’t regret them, she just saw it as living her life, a life she always felt deprived off. her parents eventually got divorced because lights’ dad couldn’t stand her mom anymore, he couldn’t live with the strict rules and the prejudice but he couldn’t take lights with him. all of this absolutely broke the girl and made her get to a breaking point and she ran away from home. she changed her name to lights in honor of her dad who always called her his little light and thought of a new last name for herself, angelica marino was now buried six feet underground and there was no bringing that girl back. the cross she wore around her neck had now lost all meaning. 

lights started hanging around with the very wrong crowd but that was freedom for her, she was happy and she got to be a new person, one that was nothing like the girl her parents had raised. lights was now using her innocent looks and acts to get what she wanted, whether it was money from men or just anything from anyone, with some of her old clothes and that innocent smile she could about fool anyone and that’s when it got worse. sometimes people tried to take advantage of her and she’d usually be able to fight them off but one day it got too far, one day there was no other way she could defend herself other than by stabbing them with the small blade she carried around with her for safety. 

since then lights had gotten a certain rush, maybe it was the power of being able to decide whether they lived or died or maybe her brain had now become too messed up now to process that this was a very bad decision that came with consequences, consequences that she couldn’t face due to the outbreak. once the outbreak hit lights made sure to get as far away from new york as possible and ran off to boulder county. she made sure to keep an act of being innocent and clueless and pretty much scared of everything because she thought that would be easier and she’d be seen as less of a threat. 

right okay that was long but some little pointers here im sorry that was so messy and all over the place its rlly late

lights basically is just a fuckin psycho but a rlly good one bc all you see when you see light is a very scared girl who probably cries and makes herself very weak passing??

at nights sometimes she goes making bad deals with raiders before killing them ( shes gotta fuel that murder kink)

she absolutely disguting honestly pls hate her but pls love her even tho  i dont think she has a good bone in her body anymore

she still always wears her cross that her dad gave her around her neck bc she misses the only person who ever really loved her??

when she snaps she snaps for the worse and can become very violent and just overall aggressive and its bad bc its like shes not even herself anymore

lights is basically the knife emoji 

yEa if anyone wants any plots or connections with her pls lemme know, shes been at lionscrest for a good ish amount of months

have you heard of PATRICK O'CONNOR? he is a TWENTY-NINE year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like JOSEPH GILGUN. he is SELF-RELIANT, which helps him survive as a ROGUE. however, he can also be COLD, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as the ACATALEPTIC.

hi hello !! my name is chy. i’m a lil anxious canadian who was actually around during the first group but too much was going on in my life and i was unable to properly keep up with everything and i ended up vanishing. the main blog just happened to pop under my recommended blogs though and i KNEW i needed to come back. ur all fabulous <3 feel free to like this if u want to plot with my messy bean. i’m always down for pre-established relationships too whether they’re romantic, platonic or familial, etc. 

born in kinsale, county cork, ireland. 

was raised by his grandmother until she died when he was 10. 

he was then put into the foster system and spent years bouncing around homes. 

he was grieving and no one seemed to care. 

he lashed out often as a child. sometimes violently, sometimes just loud and annoying. 

no out of school activity could keep his focus. 

he continuously failed his school subjects and eventually dropped out when he was 15. 

he has a criminal record. eg. petty theft, selling drugs, fighting, etc. 

has spent loads of time actually on drugs. to the point where he can function like he’s entirely sober. 

struggled at the beginning when he had little to no access to drugs. 

is thriving now though. 

can be cold towards most at first. but is prone to opening up once he starts to trust them. 

isn’t scared to fight people for supplies. mostly if he’s running extremely low.

carries two knives and a gun he found on a dead person. 

born in kinsale, county cork, ireland, patrick spent the first few years of his life under the watchful, loving eye of his sixty-two year old grandmother. his father had always been non-existent and his mother had died of an overdose when he was barely a year old. he had never lived with her and never known her. after his grandmother passed when he was ten, patrick was tossed into the system and bounced around to various different homes. 

no one wanted a grieving kid who lashed out violently when he became upset. no one wanted to help him either. so he bounced from bed to bed, family to family, street to street. by the time he was fifteen, a criminal record had attached itself to his name. anything from petty theft to drug charges. 

eighteen rolled around and suddenly he was free of the system. the last home had actually done a pretty decent job with him. the woman, aileen, had done what she could to take care of him. therapy, finishing school properly, getting a job. she had continued to check in on him after that and he spent most sundays at her place for dinner. 

life as an adult hadn’t been easy though. finding a consistent job was rough ( the one aileen had secured for him let him go once they realized he was smoking pot behind the building at lunch ). drugs and crime continued to be an easier way of earning money. he sold, he used, he fucked up left and right. he floated through life in the worst possible ways. 

until he met nora. she was smart and beautiful and funny and seemed to have her entire life together. something entirely out of reach for paddy o’connor. for awhile, he became better. he still used but he stopped selling. stopped resorting to the street life in order to live. even got a job as a barista for awhile. they had an entire life planned out together. even though her parents completely disagreed with their relationship. 

by twenty-five, they were off to america ( boulder county, colorado to be exact )  so she could seek out better job opportunities. they had an apartment, a damn car. twenty-eight and things were seemingly good. until patrick nearly overdosed one night. she grew upset that he was still using and left to stay with a friend. 

he hasn’t seen her since despite trying to get to her when the infection began spreading. he’s come across safe areas in the past but remained on his own in hopes of finding her a bit easier. he finds the apocalypse easy because of his street smarts and ability to survive.

have you heard of AUSTIN TURNER ? he is a TWENTY year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like CAMERON MONAGHAN. he is STAUNCH, which helps him survive as a ROGUE. however, he can also be BRASH, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as the MISCREANT.

pls like/reply to this post and i will hit u up to plot asap !!

wow... here we r again buds. me... makin austin... yiKes. anyways !!  trigger warning for drugs and alcohol and abuse and death !!

he’s from jacksonboro, south carolina and i hate him but let me get more int abt him ???

it isn’t often that birth marks the end of life, but that’s pretty much how it was for austin. his birth was a tough battle and in the end, it took all of his mother away from his family. not much is known before austin’s birth, at least not to austin. he’s told that his mother and father used to love each other and that before his frank entrance into the world, his father was a kind soul. he was always rough around the edges, but he used to be different. 

austin’s childhood was filled with those stories. stories of having seen better days, of having been better before he came along. it forced him to grow up fast, to learn how to fend for himself in a house that didn’t allow for such soft, gentleness. he couldn’t be the happy boy his heart was wired to be, so instead he grew cold and distant.

it wasnt long before his family dynamic began to change. before, the more siblings they had around, the more the anger and frustrations of his inebriated father could be evenly distributed. eventually, however, they all left him. each of his siblings left to be in a better place, to escape from their dad. soon enough, it was only austin left in the house. only austin there to soak up the damage his birth had caused. 

it was a painful task to be the problem child, the one who was the mistake and the fuck up all in one, but austin wore the badges with joy. he watched more than what his siblings had the guts to and stayed with his father. he watched the anger turn to sorrow and the sorrow turn to rage. he watched the cycle as it repeated itself over and over again

once the outbreak happened, austin was stuck trying to take care of his dad. it took a long time for the news to even spread and once it did, it was too late. before he knew it he had to kill his own dad, but not before his own father tried to drag him into a hoard of walkers. 

basically ??/ little shit extroadinaire. he’s caring but like/..// so lowkey about it lmao. like he will do shit for u without u knowing. he’s also beyond loyal ?? he rlly is and thats because his siblings abandoned him and he feels like EVERYONE abandons him in the end so why leave >??? he can lit just drive ppl away then blame it on them because... he aint the problem lmao. 

he’s just...angry and sad but if u give him the chance to be soft... he’ll love u forever ok. but dont expect him to tell u that. ..bcs he wont/...

have you heard of HATTIE ADLER? she is a TWENTY-FOUR year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like MAGGIE GRACE. she is COMPASSIONATE, which helps her as a CAREGIVER at LEFT HAND BREWERY. however, she can also be WITHDRAWN, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as the LOST SOUL.

hey there demons it’s ya girl chy again !!

though technically having been born HARRIET ADLER, she grew up being called HATTIE and has always preferred it. 

grew up in a rather big family(including extended family). she has four siblings altogether. three sisters and one brother. three older and one younger. her brother joined the army when he was 18 following in the footsteps of their older sister. they were deployed at the time of the downfall. he was freshly deployed and their sister was on her way home. the timing was terrible seeing as how the infection began spreading around the time of his travel. she doesn’t know if she ever made it home alive. she assumes her brother is gone but doesn’t know how far spread the infection is. she also has (or had) many cousins. one of which was delaney adler. she’s always keeping her eye out for any and all family members. 

for awhile after high school, she floated around. her parents did rather decent for themselves and she always came from a bit of money. so travelling was something she was able to experience and she took that chance to do so. partying with her friends overseas, exploring the world, etc. it was always a good time. 

her father was diagnosed with brain cancer when she was 21. she managed to make it home right before he died but he was barely conscious and never spoke to her. she feels an immense guilt that still follows her around because she didn’t spend enough time with him before he passed. 

for awhile, she spiralled in her grief. she went out more with her friends. drank a bit too much. but finally decided it wasn’t helping at all and started seeking out therapy. 

with the help of her therapist, she was able to become a bit more human again and even ended up going to university. she was in her first year of nursing when the infection began to spread. she found, during that year, that she loved helping people. loved caring for others. something she hadn’t really explored much despite growing up in a loving, caring home. 

when the end came, she was living on her own in colorado and attending school. she has no idea if most of her family is gone or alive. she tried so hard to contact them but nothing ever went through. she wants to head home eventually but hasn’t had a chance to. especially because she feels like she has a duty to the people who took her in when she was starving and on the verge of death. she is now their caregiver within the brewery. 

she’s always been really girly. long, blonde hair. dresses, skirts, heels, make-up, etc. she often shared a lot of that knowledge(that she gained from her older sisters) with her younger cousin delaney. but the end has changed her quite a bit. where blonde hair had once cascaded down her shoulders, dark, short hair sits in it’s place now. more practical clothing adorns her body too. jackets, long pants, t-shirts, tank-tops. layering to the max. 

she carries two knives with her and a small handgun when she goes out to gather fresh medical supplies. 

she’s quiet and reserved. often appears withdrawn and out of it. she just gets easily lost in her own thoughts. she’s kind, compassionate, eager to care for the people around her. whether it’s physically or emotionally. she’s always listening. 

probably isn’t made for this world(she’s 100% lost. trying to find herself but it’s hard). she just does her best.

have you heard of danique “dani” emery? she is a thirty-six year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like kim engelbrecht. she is intelligent, which helps her as a scout at lionscrest manor. however, she can also be reclusive, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as THE ERUDITE.

hi all ! i’m emily, your latest hells newbie. ( thank you for having me. ) below the cut is a summary of who dani ( love of my life ) is, and what she has been through to get to boulder county. if you want to plot, or have any questions or issues, pls don’t hesitate to hit me up ! i’m in the discord group, and am also contactable via tumblr dms.

tw: infertility, cancer.

dani was born danique amahle isaacs in capetown, south africa on the 7th of july, 1982. she has an older and a younger brother, both who still live in south africa with her parents. 

as a child she was very well-behaved, and never caused her family any trouble. she helped her mother wrangle her youngest brother for school, and assisted in doing the housework whilst her father worked long hours. the family was working class, not below the poverty line but not sitting comfortably above, either. 

she stood out in school due to her academic excellence, which led to her being seen as a bit of an outcast, even amongst the small group of her coloured peers. she found this very difficult, though her eldest brother made sure no one gave her too much grief. 

after graduating, dani was offered a scholarship to study (tertiary) abroad. she enrolled in an anthropology course at the university of denver, colorado, and moved there shortly after turning eighteen.

a few years into her studies she met nick emery, a mutual friend and her future husband. after a few months they began dating, and at the completion of her masters they eloped. he was, and still remains, the great love of her life.

nick worked as a social worker in denver, and wholeheartedly supported his wife in everything she did.

whilst working on her phd, dani and nick decided they wanted to start a family. it was to no success. dani had been diagnosed with severe endometriosis years earlier, and it had only increased in severity. she had so hoped to concieve, but instead followed her doctors advice and underwent a hysterectomy. following the procedure, her pain lessened, and her life as a chronic pain sufferer was changed dramatically.

the couple looked into adoption. nick had wanted to do so for a long time, and dani agreed it was just as special a way to have a child as natural conception. a month after completing her phd, dani and nick were selected by a birth mum interstate. they had a little boy on the way.

birth mama was in her six month of pregnancy when nick’s headaches turned something frightful. within a very short span of time, their nightmare came to life. nick had a tumour on the brain. the prognosis wasn’t good.

the adoption fell through. dani stopped her anthro lectures to stay with her husband and enjoy the last few weeks of their time together. his family gathered around them. dani’s mother flew to america for the first time to be with her daughter and son-in-law.

nick emery died on november 20th, 2016.

“she had walked with ghosts long before the dead rose.”

dani survived the intial stages of the outbreak by doing what she does best: staying quiet, hidden, and keeping her head. she hauled up in she and nick’s suburban home until she almost starved  — much like she had in the months after her husband died. then, she hopped in the car and made a run for it. she didn’t know where she was going, or even why she was keeping herself alive. it was instinct that told her to move, to find a place for herself outside of the cemetery that was denver.

the radio broadcast felt like a miracle. boulder. people were still alive out there, after all. it didn’t take long until she found a group of survivors, hauled up in a fancy ass mansion in lyons. 

they offered her a place.

she took it.

some more misc facts:

dani is fluent in afrikaans (first language) and english. she can also speak a little dutch.

she has a strong south-african accent. she was very self-conscious of it when she moved to the us, but no longer has issues with it.

dani is not shy, but she is very quiet. she can come across as quite intense, but really she’s very kind, thoughtful, and loyal. she can be very emotionally closed off, and is still grieving the loss of her husband alongside the loss of almost all she once knew.

she has dual south african and american citizenship.

dani was a lecturer at denver university. she has a doctorate in anthropology.

her husband nick was big into adventure sports. rock-climbing was one of the few that dani greatly enjoyed, and she took it up as a hobby. it has become very handy in her role at lioncrest.

INTRO

have you heard of SILAS DANVERS? he is a 19 year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like TIMOTHÉE CHAMALET. He is CARING, which helps her/him/them as a SCAVENGER at LIONSCREST. however, he can also be IMPULSIVE, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as the WANDERER.

Silas is originally from Columbus Ohio but made his way to Boulder

he moved into Lionscrest soon after arriving as it was the first place with living people he stumbled upon

since he is a scavenger he spends more time wandering boulder looking for supplies than he does in the camp,

---- have you heard of AVERY SANTORA? he is a TWENTY year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like NOAH CENTINEO. he is VERSATILE, which helps him survive as a ROGUE. however, he can also be NEGLIGENT, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as the ALBATROSS.  

meet my dumb son, i love him. i dunno if anyone remembers arabella collin’s #1 boy toy Ansel Malachi™ in the old hellstate but, , , this is him, , ,this is ansel w/ his 159th remake because i can’t let my favourite son go :/  i hope you like him pals ! 

TW: suicide,  physical abuse, emotional abuse, drug use, alcoholism.

there wasn’t much awaiting avery santora in this life  ;  it wasn’t like he was a particularly welcomed when the test came up POSITIVE  &  nine months later he came screaming into the world after a long and tedious labor. his parents? mere TEENS  ,  knew nothing about parenthood and yet  ,  the infant that seemed to never stop crying was thrust into their arms.  his father scowled at his son while his mother cradled him close  ;  his father refused to give him the time of day while his mother coddled him day  &  night.  AVERY LEONARDO SANTORA. named after a grandfather   &  an uncle of an uncle of an uncle somewhere in the santora family tree. it doesn’t matter  ,  he’s still the son of one of the most cold hearted bastards in the entire california state.

FATHER IVAN SANTORA is what people on the outside call avery’s dad  ,  when he takes over the church as a pastor &  decides the word of GOD is more important than family. his son doesn’t understand how a person so cruel could be a comfort to others  ;  during the day  ,  he’s forcing his son to read the testaments  ,  at night?  avery can hear his mother crying. in the morning when the bruises appear  ,  she forces a smile and tells her piccolo not to worry  ,  mother is fine.  FEAR grows from a young age  ,  and he learns not to disobey the man that raised him  -----  he’s only thirteen when he realises the strength behind his own fists  ;  finds himself in the center of another of his parents arguments  ,  and when his father aims a blow at his mother’s features,  he steps in  ,  or TRIES to  ,  the man is twice his size and weight  ,  and just a LOOK usually puts avery in his place. avery comes out of that fight with swollen cheeks  &   a busted lip.  it keeps father santora away from his wife for awhile  ,  and that’s all that matters.

it stems a new passion  ,  between fighting off his father’s abuse and picking fights in the streets with other children  ,  avery learns he’s not bad at throwing a punch  ;  not bad at causing damage where damage is due. people even say he could get a CAREER from it  ,  get into boxing  &  get lucky. by sixteen he’s fighting in a ring in downtown los angeles, and if he wins, he gets enough cash to put towards the fund that’ll get him and his mother out of the home that haunts them  (  they’ve decide that texas sounds nice !  )  ----  except  ,  his mother passes later that year  ,  SUICIDE they call it  ;  as soon as avery arrives home to find the body bag being loaded into the back of the ambulance  ,  he loses it.  he’s DESTRUCTIVE at the best of times  ,   with relationships  ,  lovers  ,  life  ,  and when he doesn’t have the one person that has ever showed him TENDERNESS? well  ,  he hits rock bottom and he hits it hard.

eighteen and his nights are spent passed out between empty bottles of booze  &  a high on whatever is going cheap at the time. but that’s no life for the PERFECT priest’s son  ,  not in his father’s eyes  --- WEAK  ,  STUPID  ,  A WASTE  ,  SINNER.  his father doesn’t hide how he feels about him  ,  but neither does avery. he comes home intoxicated just to rub it in  ,  arrives to that precious church service just to show the people the son this man raised.  there is no place for PRAYERS in this young man’s heart  ,  and he makes certain that god understands the warpath he created when he made avery santora.  

the apocalypse comes and goes  ,  avery sleeps through a majority of the event and wakes up to an empty city. he finds his father at the church  ,  barricading the doors so the DEAD can’t reach them. when people come banging  ,  screaming for refugee  ,  avery is one of the first to help  --  or try  ;  his father forbids him  ,  and like the son he was  ,  he disobeys him   -----  the church is overrun in seconds  ,  he watches his father get torn to pieces and barely has enough time to get himself to safety.  watches  &  wonders if this was god’s wrath afterall.  either way  ,  he burns the church to the ground  ,  lights it ablaze and watches it fall to ash. sick act of closure  ,  but it puts a smile on his face.

a group in the back of a beat up mini van offer avery a ride to canada  --  something about their assumptions that the infection didn’t reach past the border  (  avery doesn’t believe it but he’s willing to play along if it gets him away from california  )  --  somewhere between the offer of marijuana and the bizarre idea that they should go visit the grand canyon  ,  they go OFF TRACK. avery is passed trying to control this bunch and their free spirits  ,  tunes out a majority of the time  ,  but somehow he manages to convince them that denver, colorado is a great idea ! there's voices on the radio  ,  a flicker of words that bring him to the suspicion there is LIFE in boulder county  ;  he’s  .  .  .  curious  ----- his companions have no intent on staying though  ,  despite the well structured camps that greet them  ,  but avery likes the idea of security  ;  and when he comes back one night to find all his travel buddies infected  ,  he has no other choice.

he keeps to himself mostly  ,  he’ll hover around camps when he’s feeling motivated or when supplies are running low  (  he’s learnt the quickest way to survive is to scrounge off others.  )  but is an isolato by nature  ,  the OUTCAST.  on his good days he’s charming  ,  patient  ,  composed  &  considerate of others. on his bad days?  cranky  &  morose.  he’s not much of a FIGHTER  ,  would much rather ignore a threat than pursue it  ---  in fact  ,  he’s not a person you should go to for anything. he’s lazy  ,  negligent  ,  and not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to priorities.  when the going gets tough  ,  you’re most likely to find him in that beat up old mini van parked somewhere between lyons and longmont  ;  it’s broken down  ,  the engine turns over  &  over and avery has long since given up trying to move it. it’s just a shell of a camp  ,  not much of a home  ,   but avery feels safe  --- and it’s the most he’s ever had.

have you heard of HENRY "HAL" REGAN? he is a 25 year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like DEVON BOSTICK. he is FEARLESS, which helps him survive as a ROGUE. however, he can also be RECKLESS, so i'd watch out for them. they are known as the NOMAD.

guess who’s back with another lonely boi?? it’s kate! who else? this is henry “hal” regan who just wants to wander with his bff / crush and be his lonely thrill-seeking self at the end of the world. please enjoy his life story here or the short version below! <3

so short version, hal was adopted as an infant and his parents did not have a great marriage. they divorced when he was six and after that he spent his life traveling between them. he was never one for school so by the time he was sixteen he skipped almost every day to go wherever and do whatever he wanted. he was an adrenaline junkie and kept doing crazier things and eventually met his best friend in the world who filmed all his stunts and got him an online following so he could actually make a career out of it. then the dead got up on their feet and they had bigger fish to fry so here he is in boulder!

[scdsoul]

have you heard of TOBIO SASAKI? he is a 21 year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like YAMAZAKI KENTO. he is GENEROUS, which helps him survive as a ROGUE. however, he can also be COWARDLY, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as the LOST SOUL tbd bc i didn’t realize someone had this label already ha.

tobio comes from a family of four from tokyo, japan. he has one younger sister that he considers his life saver. 

tobio struggled in school due to the intense education system in japan. he fell into depression around. there was a significant change in his personality after a time. he quit school clubs ( he played volleyball and was really good; some thought he would have gone professional with it ), and became significantly less social with his friends ( not that anyone noticed; they were a loud bunch to begin with )

the one person who noticed was his younger sister. she was the one who encouraged him to seek professional help, but didn’t actually take this advice until he started university. he was prescribed anti-depressants, and while it’s still a work in progress, he believes that they actually help. but where do you get anti-depressants in the apocalypse? 

in the march of 2017, the sasaki family decided to do a family trip to califronia, and were set to fly out in november. despite rumours of a terrible disease spreading there by the time the trip was around the corner, they decided to go ahead with the trip anyway; his family was part of those calling it a hoax. 

the siblings were to head out first, and their parents were to meet them the next day. however, due to this outbreak, and communication problems mid-air, the plane was forced to land in colorado. as things went south, the siblings formed a small group with other survivors from the airport. they stuck together for several months

until a few nights ago when their group was raided during the night. among the chaos, tobio and his sister got separated. it’s the first time he’s actually alone in all of this.

have you heard of CASSIOPEIA “CAS” CARTWRIGHT? she is a TWENTY-FOUR year old survivor in boulder county, who looks like ELIZABETH GILLIES. she is RESOURCEFUL and DETERMINED, which helps her as a TRADER at PEARL STREET. however, she can also be DECIETFUL and RUTHLESS, so i’d watch out for them. they are known as the FACADE.

hi!! it’s dani… again <3 and this… well this is my sadistic, dangerous, and twisted child— the looks like a cinnamon roll but could actually kill you type. here’s some about her. it’s not a full bio like rileys, but its something lmao.

cas used to be such a lovely, kind child. the resident “flower child” in her town, so delicate and innocent. her and her twin brother were like two peas in a pod, never was one seen without the other. she a lover, him a prankster, it was all love and play and games.

her family was one giant love fest, a home so warm and inviting, the kids were surely going to be perfect people in the real world. her younger brother, aries, was born deaf, so as well as an inviting home, it was a well educated one as well. all of the cartwrights became fluent in american sign language, and for the other children, three other languages of their choice.

Her older brother, triton, was kind of the protector of the bunch, falling close to cas, or as she went by back then, cassie (a dead name now). he was her best friend, after her twin. he cared for her in such a way she would never forget.

when the outbreak started, things were stressful in the family. having so many to look out for, the parents began passing on responsibilities to the children, most now in their teens or 20′s. they held their stance as the utmost protectors, though.

it was only three weeks in when maria cartwright, loving mother, wife, and friend, was ripped to shreds by a stray walker that stumbled upon their land. she was caught by surprise, and her screams were the siren of the dead. her last words, forever burned into cas’ brain, “in this new world, you’ve got to be tougher. tougher than all of us, cassie.”

that was the day that cassiopeia, cassie, cartwright died. in her place, cas rose. she became cold, frozen in her body just as her twin did. the twins were now sadistic, obsessed with killing anything in their way. it wasn’t long before this disease spread to the rest of the cartwrights.

the father, jeremiah, becaqme as sadistic as they come. he relished in the antics of his children, even getting in on the fun when there was enough for them all. he brought vengeance on any and all for the death of his wife, it was the only thing that kept him living. that is, until his own timely demise.

a group of survivors, as ruthless as the cartwright family themselves, broguh the fire down on jeremiah. he was beaten, gunned, and gutted to death just a mile away from his family, all of whom thought he was going on a supply run. as the hours passed and they finally went looking for him, they found his body in pieces with a shred of leather on the ground, a symbol ripped in half on the remains.

the children found a rage unlike any before. they put together their strengths to search for the ones responsible for the death of the only parent they had left, but to no avail. and finally, not even a month later, the siblings were brought down in hell fire.

triton, cas, (twin name upt) and aries were scavanging a house when a fire lit from the basement. seen running in the smoke, a figure with a gas tank and a leather jacket to match. triton and aries perished in the flames, but cas and her twin survived, though neither know of the survival of the other. they escaped separately, running in different directions as they knew their siblings were gone.

its been two months since the fire, and cas has taken up a role in the hell state camp. she resides in the pearl street mall, and fought for a job as a trader, but cas, you see, is not cas. she is wearing a mask, one that all who dare to go near should be smart to see through.
