Name: Mark Vincents

Age: 29

Day: 30 (1 month in)

Personality: While a generally good moraled man, Mark is nowhere near perfect. He tends to hold past mistakes heavily on his shoulders, being unable to say that “the past is the past”, and thus feels that instead of just moving on that he needs to redeem himself in someway. This leads to moments where Mark puts his own life on the risk to solve situations that are over his head. This does come with the side effect that Mark puts the blame of bad situations on himself, even if there was truly nothing he could have done.

Mark is prone to thinking with his heart rather than his head, allowing his emotions to dictate his actions. He is hot-headed, easily frustrated, and very impatient, and as so, he is not the best at making important decisions. This goes on to say that while Mark is a good man he does not have the natural leadership abilities that he believes he does.

Backstory: Having grown up in a bad neighborhood, Mark learned about the state of the world at a young age. From drug deals, to robberies, to even bodies, Mark has seen it all during his time in the ghettos. Mark, having been naturally athletic and rebellious, fit in perfectly well in the neighborhood. As he started getting into immoral things, he still kept his loyalty toward his family, especially toward his baby brother Adam. He often attempted to shield Adam from the darkness that was their neighborhood, and vowed to protect him.

While Adam grew up okay, he soon made a mistake. He got into gambling, heavy gambling. Mark tried to get him out, but Adam was just in to deep. Not to long after he was cornered by a group of bookies and beat to death. Mark, in complete despair and anger, stole a gun and shot down the man responsible for his brother’s death. Unfortunately, he was caught while running away from the scene, and not long after was sentenced to jail time.

Lucky for him, however, the apocalypse just so happened to start while on the bus to prison. After escaping the bus with another prisoner, the two found a spare change of clothes (not wanting people to know that they’re criminals), and headed out to the city, which was rumored to be safe against the outbreak. However, the city soon fell, and Mark was soon trapped in an apartment building with a good amount of strangers. Believing that he must redeem himself for failing Adam, and seeing that no one else is willing to step up to the task, Mark rose to the challenge of becoming the group’s leader, where he is currently trying to figure out how to escape the apartment building and the city.

I hope you like him, and I wish you luck on your issue. It is due October 20th. If you have any more questions, just see me.
