Name: Richard  "Dick" Mahoney

Gender: Male

Age: 38



Personality in three words: I feel like three words isn't really enough. He's bossy, confident, picky, and doesn't like germs. He acts as if he cares for no one, when in reality, he secretly does, and is a loyal and kind person, though he hates to show it.

Life before the apocalypse:

Before the apocalypse, Richard was an entertainment lawyer. He wasn't the most pleasant person to work with, always demanding things and bossing people around. He is a germaphobe (Not to an extreme extent, but he doesn't like getting dirty, but will if he needs to) He was regarded as a pain to work with, though he is extremely good at what he does. Always professional, at first glance he never really seemed to care about anyone but himself, and came across as a selfish prick.

At one point, he was working and his mother was in the hospital, because he was dealing with a very important client and couldn't leave or he would lose his job, his mother died without him. This caused his other family members to resent him, because he was her favourite son, and caused him to feel extremely guilty about it for the rest of his life.

For example, on Christmas Night, his receptionist, Monica, was working (under his orders). She was pregnant at the time, and her water broke in the office. Despite his disgust for the process, Richard tried to drive her to the hospital. When they got stuck in traffic and Monica began giving birth, Richard successfully helped her deliver the baby. He comforted her and drove her to the hospital, where he stayed until he knew she was alright. Monica named the baby Richard, and he was made the godfather. When Monica's boyfriend left her and the child, Richard gave them a place to stay and treated them like his own family. Eventually Monica quit, and the two had a falling out, but he remains the godfather and still cares for them and sends them money every once and a while to make sure they can sustain themselves.
