rules: ~drop into my ask box to submit your request. ~you may submit more than one request. however, please keep it to one request per ask. ~when submitting requests, please provide as many details as possible.for example, if you are requesting a banner for your oc, tell me some things about them, such as their favorite color(s), hobbies, interests, their general vibe, etc. if you are requesting a moodboard for a fic, tell me about the fic (the vibe, details of the story, any character pairing(s) you'd like featured, etc). you get the gist of it. the more details i have to work with, the better. ~no explicit nudity will be featured, but spicy/suggestive is fine. ~anon requests will NOT be allowed for this event. this is for a couple of reasons. one, for age verification for any requests containing spicy/potentially spicy content (such as a spicy moodboard of daryl x reader, for example). i need to be able to check that your blog says you are over 18 before i would be comfortable creating that (age/age range (like "late 20s" or "30s", for example, must be present on your blog). two, for banners for ocs or fics, to ensure that you are the owner of said oc/fic (unless you are doing it as a surprise for someone else, which would need to be stated). ~if you have any pictures you'd like me to use (like an oc faceclaim or a pic of them you drew), you can submit that with your request as well.

please read ALL RULES before submitting your request! 🖤

☾ backstory

Lydia Rae Vector graduated with honors from Swanton High School and went on to study pre-med at the University of Toledo. From there, she went on to Emory University School of Medicine for med school and completed her residency at Atlanta General Hospital, where she later became employed in their emergency department. She is the youngest of four with three older brothers—Preston, who’s five years older than her, and identical twins Jay and Eli, who are three years older than her. They all grew up to become Navy SEALs and made sure to teach their sister everything they could about hand-to-hand combat and self-defense.

Her mom, Meredith Elaine Vector, and her dad, Jonathan Thompson Vector, met through Georgie’s parents, who were dating at the time. Leonard, Georgie’s father, and John were best friends, as were Maria, Georgie’s mother, and Meredith. They each brought their friend along on a double date, and the rest was history. Vec’s father is an astronaut, while her mother worked part-time as a sex therapist while raising the kids and transitioned to seeing clients full-time once Vec entered high school.

She is extremely close with everyone in her family, and they are a very tight-knit unit. Her parents raised her and her brothers with open discussions about things like drugs, alcohol, and sex. They wanted their children to know that these aren’t taboo topics & for them to feel comfortable coming to them to talk about these things. Vec’s parents and brothers are some of her best friends, and she wouldn’t trade them for anything.

Vec and her best friend, Georgie, became friends because their moms were pregnant with them at the same time (Vec is about two weeks older than Georgie--12 days older, to be exact). The two are tied at the hip, practically growing up side-by-side and doing everything together, even going to the same colleges and living together in Atlanta up until the outbreak begins.

When Vec was three, then eight-year-old Preston was in an accident & was hit by a car on his bicycle. At the time, their dad was up in space, so Vec’s mom frantically piled her and the twins in the car and followed the ambulance to the hospital. When they’re in the waiting area, her mom begins talking to the surgeon, a woman Vec describes as “the most beautiful woman three-year-old me had ever seen.” She toddled up to the doctor and asked if she was a princess, and the doctor said yes. That was when Vec decided she wanted to be a princess when she grew up (which she later learned was a trauma surgeon) and save lives the way that woman saved Preston’s.

When she’s around 13 years old, she got pelvic inflammatory disease & was hospitalized for a couple of days. From then on, she dealt with unimaginable period pain, and despite seeing a variety of doctors, they couldn’t seem to figure out what was going on. When she’s 29, she finally finds a gynecologist willing to do extensive testing, and it’s discovered that the infection she had caused her to develop a rare condition called Asherman’s Syndrome, which creates intense uterine scarring.. Because of this, she’s unable to have children. She dreamed of becoming a mom, and that dream was ripped out from under her in a single afternoon.

When Vec was 25, Preston was killed while on a deployment in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. This destroyed her family, and her mother struggled with his loss the hardest. For two months, she suffered from severe depression before she couldn’t handle the pain of Preston’s loss anymore and succumbed to it. She took her own life two months after his passing. She wrote a lengthy suicide note, addressing her husband and each of her surviving children with their own sections. Vec has her portion folded up in the back of her notebook, and it’s one of her most prized possessions.

Not long after her mom’s passing, she meets her ex-boyfriend, Seth. They met at a bar one night, and while Vec wasn’t looking to date at the time, they hit it off immediately. She was in a very emotionally vulnerable state at that time in her life, and Seth saw it and took full advantage of that. He became controlling, wanting the final say in what she could and couldn’t wear, who she could and couldn’t hang out with, where she could and couldn’t go, her location, how she did her hair, etc. He didn’t like her spending time alone with her brothers, or even Georgie (and they lived together, so there was no avoiding that). One day, after just over a year of being together, Vec went to leave the apartment for a date with him. As she looked at herself in the mirror, something snapped–she saw herself with her hair and makeup done the way he likes, wearing the clothes he likes, and she didn’t even recognize herself anymore. On their date that night, she dumped him and later celebrated with Georgie once the tears had subsided.

Because of this past relationship, she’s very reluctant to be emotionally vulnerable around people or accept help, even when she desperately needs it. When she was at her most emotionally vulnerable, she was taken advantage of, and she’s terrified of that ever happening again. Due to Seth’s control over her during their relationship, she’d lost so much of her independence for a long time, and once she gained it back after she left him, she fully swung in the other direction, never wanting to accept help, even when needed.

Just over a year before the outbreak, she meets Scud. Her car breaks down on her way to work one morning, and he just so happens to be working at the auto shop she shows up at. She has to drop her car quickly and run off to work, but a certain “cutie with the bandana,” as she called him, stayed behind after closing to allow her to pick her car up. They flirted like crazy, and Vec gave him her number before they separated for the night. They go on their first date a few weeks later, and they are together for just over a year before the outbreak begins.
