before the outbreak

Tae was given up for adoption because he was unplanned and unwanted

He used to get bullied a lot by other kids for not having nice clothes or toys

had to learn how to fight to protect himself

moved around a lot because every time the place that would house him would give him up due to the fighting and behavior issues

he would go against all rules just because he was a depressed kid with anger issues who felt unwanted by everyone

it wasn’t until his late teens (17) that he was actually adopted by the nicest couple ever

he tried really hard to fix his life and attitude for them and would study and even had plans for the future

Tae studied music in college since that was his way of letting out all his emotions and expressing them

he was still very closed off and hot headed considering all the neglect, violence and abuse he had to deal with

after the outbreak

His first stop after managing to get away from where he was when the outbreak happened, was his parents house. he was too late, they had already turned and he almost died because he hesitated to kill them

he did manage to kill them and after that it was as if a switch turned inside and he just felt completely numb for a while

Tae just wandered around, doing his best to survive, but somehow more and more people joined him along the way and next thing he knew he was like a leader to their group

but he’s still only 23 so it’s not like he always knows what he’s doing but he knows these people are his new family and that he will do anything to protect them since he couldn’t protect his actual family

he was only 20 when this happened and a college kid who was dealing with a lot of issues related to his past so he still struggles a lot even if he hides it. especially when it comes to big decisions

will call you out on your bs and tell you if you fucked up but also would kill for you and rescue his people no matter what

he is ride or die for his people

uses a leather jacket with wings on the back that’s why their group is called the wings

he’s a great fighter especially in hand to hand combat and has developed skills with his sword over the past 3 years so he’s better at that than with a gun though he will manage with that as well

his downfall will be always thinking some things are too good to be true and being negative and hot headed. though he tries to keep that from affecting his decisions when it comes to the group

which is why he decided to join the kingdom, because it would be good to offer his people a chance to settle down

she was born in LA but moved to busan, her parents’ hometown, at 10. due to this, she speaks both english and korean at a native level.

is a middle child (with a bit of a middle child syndrome) and has two brothers she’s very close to.

as a child she did taekwondo and gymnastics for some years, but later moved and settled for dance. that has been her passion since.

joined a very small agency in seoul at 16, she auditioned as a dancer but the agency had different plans and, after two years as a trainee, they debuted her with 7 other girls as their first girl group.

she was main dancer, sub-vocalist and visual and their debut was fairly unnoticed by the public, the agency was very small.

they still got their comebacks for the next two years, which were as successful as their debut.

so your muse probably won’t know her nor the group (unless they were very very into kpop).

the outbreak caught her in the streets with another group member and a manager, they were lucky enough to join other people early on but that’s were all her luck ended for quite a long time.

it was very difficult for her to adjust to the new situation although she was willing to learn, it still is nowadays sometimes.

the first in dying was the manager due to an infected wound, and when her other group member (who was also a very close friend) was killed by a zombie later on... something clicked inside katherine.

she was already all by herself when she was found by the wings almost two years ago, and has been with them since.

nowadays she’s mostly her usual sweet, extroverted and playful self, who cares and worries too much sometimes, but the moment zombies enter the scene she changes completely.

let’s just say she turns into a killing machine, and a very efficient one too.

and that actually has her a bit troubled, because she doesn’t know how to deal with this anger and this pain.

is normal seeing her helping in patrols and guarding when she’s not looking for supplies.

also likes to pick flowers when she’s out, and give them to random people (or to those she has to bring any supplies).

and will put on small performances for anyone who likes to watch her, she knows lots of kpop choreos.

there’s a very small part inside her that still believes she might see her family again, but she mostly thinks they are dead (and it really pains her).

her mindset can go from “tomorrow we could be dead so let’s just live this moment” to “we are doomed, why keep going?”.

she honestly just wants a home.

connection ideas

people she knows from before the outbreak. could be idols from other agencies, staff members and professionals in the industry, even dancers too.

people she met when everything collapsed, they were part of the first groups she joined before finally finding the wings, but they part ways at some point.

someone who saved her from an attack (i have a detailed plot for this), and someone she saved from an attack.

someone who taught her some new fighting moves when she clicked and decided she was going to kill all the zombies that crossed her path.

a... fan? wow they exist!

people she’s trying to provide emotional support, because she’s that kind of person.

fellow fighters she trains and raids with (?)

roommates !

sumin was raised by her dad who worked as a police officer because mom was way too wasted to do so, and she had been going in and out of rehab since sumin was 10 years old

when the outbreak happened mom was still in rehab so sumin only had her dad, that was until he was killed by the zombies mid 2021 in an attempt to save one of the wings ( wanted connection !! ) and she was hella furious about it 

before the outbreak sumin was in veterinary school because 1) her dad won’t let her be a police and 2) she loves animals

she left the wings around early 2022 after a huge fight and decided to part with them and survived on her own for like 4 months in her hideout --- she stayed in one place during that time until she was nearly attacked by the zombies and someone from the wings ( wanted connection !! ) saved her 

so she’s back in the group again around mid 2022 until now

sumin isn’t generally likable by people because she always sees the worst in people and she just got worse after her dad died, it’s not a surprise that half of the wings ( maybe more ?? ) don’t even like having her back in the group lmao

she’s Difficult to deal with but she means well, although sometimes she can come off as rude and selfish ( i mean she’d probably save herself first before anyone else so ) 

she’s very good at fighting, she’s been learning self defense since she was very young and knows how to use weapons, for now she uses a dagger but she also carries around a gun her dad had left behind for her just in case of emergency

she’s easily irritated, and she usually break things to cool down, or punch someone, whichever that comes first tbh

she can be really protective and caring to her friends, but it just takes some time for her to finally warm up to someone

uses sarcasm to hide feelings because she a Tough Cookie

when she’s off duty she would most likely be working out

Basically he was inspired in Steve from Stranger Things.

he wasn’t really the type to be a bad boy, tho he did look like one. biggest trouble he would cause tho would be talking in class, not doing homework and skipping. in high school it would also be sneaking out for parties and stuff like that. normal teenager things

he was good at sports and good looking though so that granted him some attention in high school. he didn’t really have to try, popularity came naturally and it got to his head

minjun was cocky and thought having others look up at him would be something he would have his entire life without having to try. he never really had to try hard at those type of things and it still shows that he doesnt really know how to behave with others

yet when high school ended everyone moved on to their college and forgot about him. while he was stuck at home because he didn’t get into college so instead he had to get a job at the local mall which he hated

fast forward to when he was like 21/22 and he had his own shitty apartment and still worked through shitty jobs that had no future

so he decided to enlist and get that over with and a year later the outbreak happens while he was still in the army. which means minjun gets caught up on the mess that was

they had no plan prepared for something like this so at first quarantine areas were set for those who might have been exposed/infected which suddenly turned into death zones with people turning. then they tried to help people escape by redirecting them, killing zombies and all that but it was pretty much pointless. then the government fell and the few of them left didn’t have orders anymore. so they tried to continue to help but eventually minjun was by himself

that’s when he encountered a team of scientists working on a cure and he joined them and protected the building so that they could hopefully fix this whole thing. he stayed with them until last year when they went mad and he noticed that these scientists were using healthy people and turning them to study the virus

minjun decided he had to stop them because there were already so little of them that were still healthy and it wasn’t as if they were making any progress. so he gathered all the data they had collected and blew the building up as to stop them. he has a usb as a necklace and it contains the work on the cure but he doesnt know if it would even be useful at all

so with the scientists they had generators and a secure modern building and beds but he gave it all up and part of him wonders if he made the right choice by giving up on that and the work they were doing but his morals spoke louder

now hes a patrol because he has some military training and he feels like he has to make up to the world for his actions. for failing to protect them as a soldier and for blowing up the possibility of a cure

he still has a bit of that high school popular kid vibe and can be kind of an ass btw. also, he has some aggressiveness issues but he’s soft on the inside okay?
