(Sorry if this isn't that good, this is my first character audition)

Name: Travis Browne

Age: 22

Personality: Usually joyful and happy, but when things get bad, he gets more sad and scared. Despite this fact, he always wants to help in any way he can in a problem, showing that he wants to show people that he is tougher than they think he is. He can be very blunt about things. He is also very outgoing too.

Life Before the Outbreak: Travis's dad left one year after he was born. This caused his mother to try to work two jobs but she really struggled to handle it all. Travis had an older brother named Luke Browne, so it made it harder for his mother since she had to work two jobs and raise two kids at the same time. Their mother was soon diagnosed with depression when Travis was 18 and Luke was 20, and they both tried to take car of her. When Travis turned 20, his mother commited suicide. Him and his brother comforted eachother and formed a stronger bond than ever before.

Life During the Outbreak: When Travis recently turned 21, the outbreak started on a normal day. He was with his brother with one of their friends, the outbreak hit. Travis was eventually seperated from Luke early on in the outbreak. After they were seperated, Travis found a small of survivors camping in the woods. Travis stayed with this group for about 3 months, and along the way they added new members to the group and moving into a small abandoned elementary school. After about 1 more month of living in the school with his group of survivors, a horde of infected attacked the school. That day many of the survivors were killed and devoured, leaving only Travis and a very small amount of the other surivors alive. The small group decided they should find a better place to stay. While looking for a new place, a man and a woman came and told them about a small community they were running with some other survivors. Travis and his group agreed to check it out. Travis and his group then settled into the community and he was safe and happy for a couple of months. He also got a girlfriend living in the community named Jessica. Eventually a bandit group attacked the community and that brought on a horde of infected. Jessica and many others died in the attack and horde. Travis was eventually cut off from the other survivors and was alone again. Soon he settled in an abandoned food store. It was mostly looted but he managed. He kept to himself a lot, and whenever he heard infected or a group of survivors come nearby, he would hide, not wanting to take the chance of harm. He didn't even notice that he had turned 22 because he was able to keep track of the date when the outbreak started. He still has thoughts about Luke and if he is even still alive.
