i saw GIANNA AGUILAR coming through the trees. the 25 year old was fleeing from VANCOUVER , BRITISH COLUMBIA when they came across novac , and have sought salvation within the motel of purgatory. GIGI has been in town for ONE YEAR and has been assigned as a FARMER to keep society running smoothy. no matter what , they will find something to fight for.
LABELED a tomboy since she could remember , gianna spent all of her free time outside , collecting grass stains rather than dolls. finding an equal balance between rugby and soccer , while also maintaining good grades and a healthy social life was her biggest concern. such trivial issues in comparison to what was to come.
THEIR dad passed away when gianna was just shy of her 13th birthday , the first tragedy experienced. after suffering a heart attack, he fell into a coma that he unfortunately would not recover from. losing the patriarch of the house was difficult , and matteo felt obligated to fill the role , which put a strain on gianna's relationship with their eldest brother.
GIANNA was 15 when all hell broke loose in the surrounding neighborhood. chilling screams filled the dead of night , people were running through the streets , homes and vehicles up in flames. that night felt like a fever dream , she can barely remember how their family managed to escape , but she'll never forget the carnage left behind.
HER youngest brother was the first family member lost , their mom soon following. a complete stranger lunged at them , teeth seeking flesh and dani's arm getting caught in the crossfire. when he eventually succumbed to the virus , their mom was too heartbroken and hysterical to let him go , thus resulting in her own demise.
SEEKING out refuge , the remaining aguilar siblings travelled south , attracted to the promise of shelter and protection from the military in the cities like many others. for several years , it was comforting to find unity with other survivors and lead as normal a life as they were permitted. but all that glitters is not gold.
TO this day , gianna isn't sure if it was an act of rebellion against their eldest brother's constant hovering or if javier had just finally cracked under the pressure of the harsh , new reality. but he did something risky and stupid , repeatedly , until he got caught and was turned into an example , costing his life in exchange. matteo and gianna made their escape the following night , putting as much distance as they could between themselves and any military-controlled faction.
SO she got stuck with the bro she couldn't see eye to eye with , classic. they argued lots , and blamed anything they could on each other ( gigi might've pulled a real low blow at some point by blaming javier's death on matteo oop ). they were so busy being angry with each other that they got cornered by a few clickers. ultimately, matteo got torn to shreddies just before somebody / somebodies from novac swooped in to save gianna , bringing her back to town.
fast forward a whole year , gigi has established pretty decent rapport within their little community. definitely earns their keep by helping wherever they can , the main role obviously being work as a farmer. was pretty closed off and guarded on arrival , but she's opened up a lot and is lowkey a huge softie for her people.

orientation bisexual biromantic .

faceclaim madelyn cline .
BACKGROUND .
from a young age , tayla was always known as somewhat of a golden child . she was an only child , the daughter of two amazing parents who gave her the world ever since she entered it for herself . they gave her a house to live in , food on the table every night , and all a girl could ever dream of as a kid . money was never an issue , nor was fighting . everything was perfect … until it wasn’t .
her parents divorced when tayla was thirteen . her mother had been cheating on her father for years up until that point and it’d hit a place of no return . her mother ultimately chose to go live life with her other partner , leaving tayla with her father and a broken heart . they picked up the pieces together , though , and tayla pulled her weight around the house to help with whatever her dad needed her to . it was rough , but it wasn’t impossible to deal with .
when she started high school , things started to look up again . her freshman and sophomore years were relatively normal . she dated a football player , found out she liked girls as well after sleeping with a cheerleader , and climbed her way through the ranks of her classmates through popularity alone . she was treated as a goddess among teens , held up on a pedestal because she was social and sweet . her grades were average , but her teachers loved her . her sweet sixteen was the peak of her girlhood . she invited the whole class to a party down on the rocky coast of maine . there were boats , laughs , music , and memories she’d never dare to forget . she thought that life couldn’t get better than that , and maybe she was right because it’d be the last remnants of normalcy she’d hold onto .
later that month , all hell broke loose . she was fast asleep in her room when her dad came bursting through the door . his hands were covered in blood and a shotgun was hanging from his shoulder . he shook tayla until she woke up , told her to grab a few important things , and nearly dragged her outside to the jeep in the driveway . tayla couldn’t process the next few moments , to be quite honest , and she can’t recall vivid details or a specific timeline of events . what she does remember , though , is gripping the door so tight that her knuckles turned white , crying more than she did the night her mother chose another family , and the screams that echoed through her hometown as they drove through it . she knows they left home and , somehow , made it all the way to a lake house in nebraska that was left to them years prior in her grandmother’s will . they camped out there for a while , stayed away from the rest of society , and tried to keep their sanity as long as humanly possible .
they survived for about a year on their own there . they fished in the lake , kept the radio turned up , and generated their own electricity . but this safe haven could only last so long before the infected started showing up at their doorstep . quite literally . her mother , of all people , showed up in a panic one night and begged them to let her in . tayla and her father were hesitant , but ultimately allowed her to stay for just one night . they didn’t know she’d just been bit . by morning , her mother had attacked her father and it forced tayla to flee yet again . the only place she knew how to get back to , though , was so far up north . so she left again , at seventeen , and took the jeep all the way back up to maine to return home . the city had been deserted , stores broken into and houses now vacant as she drove through . people had knocked on doors , forced others out of their homes , and ransacked the entire city . there was a quarantine zone that had been ( lazily ) set up , but nobody seemed to be there . tayla found her old home , a place frozen in time after others had stripped it clean of all resources , and she remained there for as long as she could , which was really only a week or so .
she moved between homes for months after that , until she turned eighteen and figured it was time to hit the road . the opportunity to do so came when a boy her age and his father passed through the city . tayla played them like a violin , pulling the innocent card and pitching a sob story about how she had no family left . there was truth to her words , but her dramatics came in excess . they bought the story , though , and allowed her to travel with them for a bit . it lasted about a month before she gained enough trust , stole a few cartons of gas , pocketed some knives and other weapons , and went on her way . she ditched them in the middle of the night and went back home , to her jeep , and left once more .
for six years , tayla’s done that exact same thing to multiple different groups . some were people on their own , some were bigger groups that didn’t see the harm she could do . she never stayed in one place for more than a few months , never used her real name . every person knew a different alias , every city knew a different story she told , and tayla was fine with that being her only way of survival in such a world .
but two years ago , she stumbled across novac . she intended on staying for just a few months , just to get her feet back on the ground after running low on resources , but then she found a job and actually settled in . she doesn’t like staying in one place , but it’s been safe and that’s all tayla really needs at the moment . her bags are never unpacked in her room , though , and she’s always got running on her mind .
BECKY G & SHE/HER/CIS FEMALE ⸻ i saw SERAPHINA LOPEZ coming through the trees. the TWENTY SIX year old was fleeing from MIAMI, FLORIDA when they came across novac, and have sought salvation within the motel of purgatory. SERAPHINA has been in town for FOUR YEARS and has been assigned as an/a STABLEHAND to keep society running smoothly. no matter what, they will find something to fight for.
𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 : mabel mora (only murders in the building), cher (clueless) , elle woods (legally blonde) , caroline forbes (the vampire diaries) , ginny (ginny & georgia) and jackie burkhart (that 70s show)
✦ BACKGROUND
♔ —— Society says that girls can’t be pretty, smart, and funny all at once. Seraphina completely missed that memo. and not exactly in a girl power kind of way, more of an i’m better than everybody else kind of way. So Seraphina had an ego. So what? it’s true: she is pretty. she is smart. she is funny. her confidence in her god-given gifts grated some people, of course. but she was a magnetic force, whether you liked her or not.
♔ —— Seraphina is a tough girl who knows what she wants and how to get it.
♔ —— Seraphina had a normal childhood. she was raised by his parents in Miami, Florida.
♔ —— Seraphina can be described as “a girl that always gets her way, referring to how she tends get what she wants easier than other people might. Jasmine does have a dark side like everyone does. Seraphina is a bit of wild child and a rebel.
♔ —— She can be an emotional rollercoaster when it comes to her state of mind depending on the situation.
♔ —— Seraphina can be a bit fragile when it comes opening up to anyone emotionally or otherwise.
♔ —— Seraphina is a hopeless romantic but when it comes to someone she finds attractive she gets tongue-tied and stutters in front of them.
♔ —— Seraphina is very much a mess of contradictions. she loves the feeling of being wanted, but at the same time worries that people are looking at her for the wrong reasons. She loves the person she’s becoming, but deep down, she can’t quite overcome the self-hatred that has been ingrained in her. She’s caught between who she really is and who she wants to be, and sometimes she gets a little lost in the midst of it. On the outside, however, Seraphina's is outspoken and opinionated. She won’t hesitate to tell you how she’s feeling, positive or negative. She’s fiercely protective of her friends, and extremely loyal. She’s passionate, fiery, and headstrong. those who really know her, however, might catch glimpses of her more vulnerable side. She treats those she holds dear like absolute gold and would go to the ends of the earth for them. On the flip side of that, though, she holds a grudge like no other, and finds it hard to forgive those who have wronged her.
i saw BOONE DELMONT coming through the trees. the 38 year old was fleeing from BATON ROUGE , LOUISIANA when they came across novac , and have sought salvation within the motel of purgatory. BOONE has been in town for FIVE YEARS and has been assigned as a SCOUT to keep society running smoothy. no matter what , they will find something to fight for.
BORN into a rapture-esque cult , he never really stood a chance at having a normal life. they kept preaching about an oncoming apocalypse ravaging the planet. it actually happened when boone was around 28 and they were all like HAHA SEE , and then tried to glorify it. but basically all of them either succumbed to the virus or got torn apart in the name of the holy fungi spirits , so ...
SO yeah his dad was kinda crazy ( he fr made people call him calamity ) ; was one of the leaders who believed in co-existing with the virus like only the chosen would evolve into some superior race , and brainwashed his mom and sister into believing the same. they were obvi wrong. boone also believed it for a hot sec , until he saw the outcome with his own eyes. this is something very few people know about bc he'd rather die than openly admit he was dumb.
HE lost his entire family pretty early on , like probably a year after the initial outbreak. all of them voluntarily got infected, except for his wife ( who was a few months pregnant at the time ). she unfortunately was attacked by one of the cult members and suffered a pretty gruesome end, which still weighs heavy on boone from time to time bc he wasn't able to protect her or their baby.
HIS sanity was teetertottering for a while after that, coming to terms with his loss of family and also basically everything he was raised to believe. traveling across the country in search of a safe place with some semblance of normalcy, boone ended up doing some horrific things for a couple years in the name of survival.
THE tides turned when he eventually joined forces with a group of people, setting off to find their own safe haven away from the power hungry military bases. he found purpose in his life again, helping a community of everyday civilians survive ; truly feeling as though he was apart of a community again.
FOR the first time in a long time, boone thinks he's in a good place. diligently fulfilling his role as a scout, he lowkey believes wiping out the virus ( one lost soul at a time ) is his way of repenting for blindly following the misguided belief of a looney tunes ' family ' ; a life he's desperately trying to leave behind.
ANYWAY he's kinda kooky but he means well, and is loyal to a fault.

hi everyone i'm hay <3 please met my trainwreck, bishop.
stats
full name: bishop renee ripley
hometown: flagstff, arizona
age: 26
sexuality: bisexual
occupation: cook
known family: finch ripley (twin sister)
THE BEFORE
you came out screaming, and that was perhaps the loudest you would ever be. all tiny and wiggling arms, not prepared for this brand new world. you missed the comfort of your mother's belly. you seemed to relax once your twin sister, finch was born. as long as she was close, you never found a reason to be so loud again.
the two of you grew up in between neighbors houses, seeing your parents for only a few glimpses. you followed your sister around, even though she was technically younger (maybe by 2 or 3 minutes). finch always had a friendly, welcoming aura to her. your aura was more like...grey. you tried to make friends and tried to be outgoing, but it never reall came easy to you. you quickly fell into her shadow, not that you minded in the least. you've always been shy and preferred to wait and watch in the background. at the very least you made friends in rain and raffe. with the three of them, there was never a need to branch out of your comfort zone again.
you were fiercely protective of your friends...maybe to a fault. you insisted to go everywhere with them. you never had much luck in romance, but you figured your time would come...one day. it wasn't like things could be worse.
THE AFTER
you and your friends decide to stay at a ski lodge, just a few miles from your home. it was supposed fun, relaxing, and filled with too much hot cocoa. but then everything changed. terrifying news began filling in, the sky filled with smoke. you knew deep down before checking that your parents were gone, still, by the time you could search them, they were already runners. you and finch had to kill them in the kitchen. the same kitchen were you once made lemonade with your mom.
you soon fell into a routine. for you, it was easy. you were never extremely social able, anyway. you became a cook and did your duties to help the community at the lodge. you kept a watchful eye on your sister, scared something may happen.
one day, finch, rain, and raffe decided to take the ski lift for a spin, to take a look at the outside world. you were invited, but you had more vegetables to chop, so you waved them on. you should have tagged along, or at least hugged your sister. that would be the last time you saw her-- or any of your friends .
one moment you're prepping dinner, the next, you're fighting for your life. a hoard of the infected invaded the sky lodge, taking out people you've gotten to know and trust. it was a blur, trying to get out of the kitchen and pack as many things as you could. you wanted to wait for finch, but there was no way of knowing how long she would be...or if she was coming back.
you waited for as long as you could, but you knew if you waited too long then you'd most likely get injured or die. with nothing to scrawl a note on or anything, you took a simple necklace from your sister's room and ran out of there.
the ski lodge was nearly in flames by the time you stopped running. it was cold and quickly approaching night time, but you had to keep moving. after who knows how many hours, you stumbled along an abandoned hunting lodge and passed out.
from then on, you kept moving. there was no point going back to the ski lodge. you weren't even sure you knew how to get back. you would have to surive on your own, but every breath felt like you were dying. you lost your twin, and your only friends.
for the next few months, you roamed around the united states, feeling lost. eventually you came into contact with someone-- max. they were surviving on their own, too. they had their own sad, sob story like the rest of us. you came to an uneasy truce after almost killing each other. you were both so scared. but over time, max began to heal your broken heart. you felt yourself start to trust them. you camped together, ate together, and traded stories together. you protected them and they protected you. you would be content if you had to spend the rest of your time with them.
was this the romance you were looking for all those years ago? is there even a place for romance anymore?
this week, you and max came to the city of novac. maybe now is the time to stop roaming. you haven't stopped running since that day at the ski lodge. maybe now it's time to settle down and try to live again.

Full Name: Levi Ozymandias Saffet, call him "Oz"
Age: 41
Birthday: August 30, 1982
Gender & Pronouns: Demi-man, He/They/any pronouns
Sexuality: Queer
Occupation: Motel Staff
Face Claim: Rami Malek
Under the Read More is Oz's full bio. Please mind all trigger warnings!
Background:
TW // Drugs, Violence, Murder, Injury
-Born in Massachusetts to a loving family, but always was a little bit of a weirdo. Had too much fun starting arguments, shoving kids, and getting into hair-brained schemes. His parents assumed he was just 'precocious'.
-Incredibly bright and got his Bachelors and Masters in bio-chemistry. Worked in various labs with colleges and universities before moving on to BROOKLABS outside of Boston- a national lab.
-Met someone at the lab and hit it off. After dating for a few years, Oz realized they'd been cheating on him. While he cut the relationship off, the ex was given a large promotion and Oz was pissed.
-Oz found he could steal chemicals and equipment easily without anyone noticing, and began to siphon them off to folks through the dark web. While he never affiliated himself specifically with anyone, he did it all online anyways and things were relatively anonymous.
-While trying to fill the void of thrill-seeking with party drugs and selling lab equipment (and chemicals), Oz was looking for any other jobs he could do to make a quick buck, some of them becoming more dangerous.
-Oz began a very short stint as a gunman-for-hire. While he was good at it, he was given the wrong information for one of the hits and was badly injured while there to take out a target.
-Now has a lumbar spinal injury and uses a wheelchair and forearm crutches to get around. Oz still has feeling in his legs and feet but requires mobility aids. Can also drive a care- thankfully, because he was in Boston working for a different lab when the virus broke out.
-Oz stayed in Boston for a while. Many in his lab thought they could work on some kind of cure or antidote, foolishly. Oz mostly stayed for the enforced walls and special doors with only card access. He was afforded a higher level of safety, but soon people were picked off, buildings broken into, and Oz drove off to find some safety, finding Novac in the past 6 months.
Headcanons:
-Oz is a sarcastic and rude individual who's certainly not the first many think of as a 'friend'. However, when he becomes someone's friend, he is fiercely loyal.
-Currently Oz uses a wheelchair and mobility aids such as forearm crutches to get around.
-He was a huge partier but in his day-to-day life is NOT built for 'fun'. He also probably shouldn't be working in any 'customer service' type of job, but working on the first floor of the motel grants him something to do and despite him being an ornery little fuck, he's at least very organized.
-Oz would rather die than have someone see him display any type of deeper emotions, so if anyone HAS seen him cry or be truly scared, or knew him during his time in the hospital back in Boston, they are probably a very close friend. Either that, or Oz has distanced himself on purpose because he's afraid they think less of him.
Full Name: Asa Michael Holland
Age: 45
Birthday: October 25, 1978
Gender & Pronouns: Cis man, He/Him
Sexuality: Gay
Time in Novac: 5 Years
Occupation: Farmer
Face Claim: Andrew Scott
Under the Read More is Asa's full bio! Please be aware of trigger warnings.
Background:
TW // Abuse, Murder, Medical malpractice, Homophobia
Born in Ireland and raised to be a good Christian boy. Unfortunately he was a rebellious gay teen and his father had far too much influence and power.
Asa's father sent him away to a Troubled Teen home to 'straighten him out'. This didn't work, but did help confuse Asa about right & wrong, & if he was 'in his right mind' or not.
His father sent him to a mental institution after this, convincing doctors that his son was not well.
Asa was in and out of different institutions and psychiatric hospitals due to his parents for many years. This consisted of him taking medications he didn't need that messed with his brain, closing him off from society, and leaving him isolated often.
During his stay at the last institution, St. Irene's, Asa was given 'experimental treatment' which was, essentially, medical malpractice.
After getting out and being sent back to his father, he realized his father was planning to send him off to another place, and that he'd be condemned to this for his entire life if he didn't do something. He murdered his father, stole some money, and fled to the States.
There, in NYC, he began creating a case to shut down St. Irene's. Corresponding with various victims and former patients and nurses, Asa created a huge backlog of evidence and was rewarded a HUGE settlement and the place was shut down.
Had only been 'out' of these hospitals for a few years when the virus hit. Asa fled from NYC and found Novac.
Farming and gardening has always been something he's passionate about, and this has made it easier for him to connect with his job at Novac.
Headcanons:
-Asa has a residual head injury from his time at St. Irene's from their misuse of ECT (Electro-Convulsive Therapy). This is a small pinkish burn mark on the side of his temple. While it doesn't normally bother him, he does get chronic headaches from it and occasionally will have more issues (hearing buzzing, feeling dizzy)
-Asa is an incredibly off-putting individual, due to his time away from ‘society’. While he tries to make conversation with others, it is clear he is still figuring out how to make friends and to have relationships.
-Asa illustrates and has a ton of art from his time in the different institutions he's been stuck in.
-While he is an enigma wrapped in another enigma, Asa is a kind person. He often is thoughtful in small ways- having everyones’ favorite foods or colors memorized, giving small hand-drawn cards or little gifts for birthdays and events.
-Asa was never investigated for killing his father and has not told many people about it!
