╚═════════════════════════════════════════╝

Inside and ♦ Out ♦

♣ Name ♣ "Jayden."

His full name is Kaius Jayden Black, but usually people just call him Jayden, or sometimes Jay. He used to go by his first name, Kaius (pronounced Kye- us) or even Kai, but since he was fifteen he's told people his name is Jayden because the name Kaius reminds him too much of a painful past.

♣ Age ♣ "Twenty."

Born in 1993, December 12th to be specific, Kai will be turning 21 in a short amount of time.
But as he said, currently he's 20 years old.

♣ Gender ♣ "..."

If it wasn't already apparent, Jay is a, how do you say... Male. A guy, a dude, whatever term you would like to use, bottom line is, he isn't female, and I don't think he'll let you check, so you'll have to take my word on it.

♣ Looks ♣"Do I really have to answer this?"

(Image Above)

Facial Features (and Hair)-- Kai's eyes are a curved and almond like, being an almost- black dark brown. His smile, though not often used, often affects his entire face. As his smile grows his cheeks raise and his eyes squint, which happens with most people, but it seems to be defined in Jay. Speaking of smiling, he's got two basic different smiles. A normal smile/ smirk that shows little to no teeth and can of course reflect multiple things. However, if you somehow get him to laugh or make him feel very happy his genuine, gummy, smile comes out. I know it sounds odd but when he is overly happy and smiles not only his teeth but his gums show as well. (If you google "Kris Wu's gummy smile" you'll probably find what I'm talking about, lol.)
Jay's hair is a light blonde color and is a bit shorter on the sides and back than the front. It's naturally straight and usually he doesn't do anything with it so it is decently simple and sometimes even looks a bit 'un-kept.'

Body-- I'm not sure what the average height is for a guy but I'm guessing that at 6'1, Jay is over that average. His height and muscular, but thin, frame brings him around 160lbs, however he might have lost some of that weight since the end of the world broke out since he can't always get his hands on food and water.

♣ Weapon of Choice ♣ "Of choice? My father's Katana, but I'll use what I have to to survive."

Truthfully Jay never thought he would have to use the skills of the sword his father taught him as a young lad, however as the world's seems came apart, he found he really would. Luckily he was indeed taught well. He was worked to the bone and therefore the talent and capability in handling his sword is buried bone-deep.
Like he said, he'll use what needs to so that he survives, however it doesn't mean he'll necessarily be good with such things. Kai prefers either fighting with a sword or hand to hand, he has no idea how to use most other weapons including a gun. It doesn't honestly bug him though, especially with guns, Kaius hates the rattle and clang it generally makes [unless connected to a silencer] so he stays away from such weapons anyway.

♥ Inside ♥ and Out

♠ Personality ♠ "If you care so much, meet me and learn for yourself."

Kaius usually acts in one of two ways if not both. Most often he isn't talkative. He doesn't usually feel the need to speak and often prefers silence, so he stays quiet. When talking he's not often kind about it. Usually he's not rude either, although his strictness and wanting to get to the point can come off as such. He's not been known to joke around and if he tried he'd probably be a hot Mess at it.
It's often hard to tell when looking at his quiet and stern exterior, that Kai can actually become very passionate about something [his passion being fueled by anger and other mixed emotions.] Around others he's level-headed, calm, and doesn't stress under pressure. However, deep down he keeps everything bottled up, which makes him colder on the outside. Sometimes when he can't handle it anymore all of said bottled emotion will turn to frustration and anger, which fuels his passion. (This often happened as a child when he struggled in training and in one moment he became so overwhelmed and angry that he pushed himself beyond the max until he succeeded. Now this happens when defending himself, whether it's fighting harder or fighting longer, this habit can be useful in saving his life. The downside? He over-works himself and once the adrenaline has passed he is absolutely exhausted and weaker than usual.)

♠ History ♠ "This topic is not one I'll so quickly share on."

(Translation, he doesn't wanna talk about it.)
Jayden has had an interesting roller coaster of a life, starting in Japan and only recently making it's way to the United States.
He was born into a wealthy family and was always a quiet child. He didn't make many friends and purely focused on studies most of the time. In his spare time however, he became alive. He showed a range of emotions throughout the years as his father brutally trained him in martial arts and taught him the ways of the sword. He hated what he loved most, and had a great deal of respect for his father even though every day was worse with the man.
When Kai was fourteen his life truly switched directions, a short time before he had turned this age his mother had gotten into a bad car crash. Sadly, she lost part of her memory and all hearing from the head injuries of the crash. When finally being released from the hospital after such injuries, Jay's mother came home late at night. Because of the memory loss, his mother didn't remember that she had a fourteen year old son, so when she saw his room she questioned what was inside. When entering Kai immediately woke from the noise. He took up the sword that hung above his bed, afraid and unable to see who it was in the dark. He of course asked who they were, but because his mother was now deaf she had no idea he was speaking to her, all she saw was a figure with something in their hands. She of course fled, completely terrified someone she didn't know was in her home. Soon after Kai ran out of his room, calling for his father. Everything was still dark as he couldn't find where the lights were and as cruel fate had it, as Jayden quickly moved around spooked by every sound he heard, right as his father returned his call, dashing out into the hall, the young boy turned, inevitably pressing the sword directly into his father's gut. His mother had found the lights by now and as the horrifying scene unfolded the lights flicked on.
It was all so shocking and scarring for both Kai and his mother. If this wasn't horrible enough, Kai's mother was so terrified of him that he fled the house, still holding the sword that was his fathers and had been passed onto him only the day before, his birthday.
He eventually made his way out of Japan and traveled to various places, usually as a stowaway, ending up in America when he was eighteen. He became a citizen and tried to restart his life.

♠ Strengths ♠

Hes a fighter and is usually decently stubborn. He can't stand the idea of giving up, and that kind of attitude has made him stronger. He's also (most of the time) level- headed in a stressful situation and finds freaking out is a waste of time, instead in such situations he comes up with a strategy (or two) for how to solve a problem.
He's also good at hiding any fear he has, which (even though he won't admit how afraid he is) can be pretty intense in situations.

♠ Weaknesses ♠

His emotional state. Kaius is always either bottling everything up, or is emotionally unstable, which has generally gotten him into bad situations. He's also generally bad at socializing with others and tries to exist on his own. He's un-trustworthy and if he's actually talking to you, he may just have a terrible attitude because he doesn't ever want to get close to anyone, for fear that he will hurt them or he won't be able to protect them.

♠ Orientation ♠ "Straight."

Honestly Kai hasn't ever felt real feelings for a anyone, and he's never dated a girl (or anything more than conversed with one really) but he's found that he's only ever been attracted to women. So if he was to date, it'd be a girl.

♠ Crush ♠ "I don't have one."

None yet, but he might develop one.

♠ Girlfriend? ♠ "If I don't have a crush why do you think I'd have a girlfriend?


♠ Anything Else? ♠ "... If you're done asking questions simply state so, I have nothing to add."

Uhmmm... not for now.

Waking up in a cold sweat had become common for the light blonde headed girl. She was often plagued by nightmares from what she had seen the night she was forced to abandon her home and the family she had once known. She laid on the roof of a building, clear of any of the undead, she had made sure of that earlier in the day. A cool hand wiped the sweat from her forehead before she grabbed her crossbow and slung it over her shoulder with ease. She walked to the safest edge of the building and looked over, clearly searching the ground for any of them before she made her way down. Silence was her best friend in these situations as she slowly made her way down the fire escape stairs on the exterior of the building. A back at also was strapped over her back, filled with bandages, medicine, and food and water. She kept moving as she hit the ground with a soft thud, clearly aiming to stash some more food into the almost filled backpack.

Nathan had been awoken early due to the loud shuffle of feet outside of the building he had set up camp in. Although he had no way to tell the time - every clock was either smashed or non-responsive - he could easily tell from how dark it was that it had to be an ungodly hour in the morning. Moonlight had shimmered in through the window across the room, and after grabbing his rifle and poking around outside for a few minutes he had come back in empty handed, brushing off the encounter as one of the thousands of stray dogs he had seen running through the streets. However, he couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched, much unlike him, and had taken a snooze in the corner with his weapon clutched against his chest.

As sunlight prodded him awake, he found that he regretted it. The marine cracked his back and flexed uncomfortably as he sat up, rubbing a spot on his neck that had developed a crick from the cramped position he had fallen asleep in. Even after his deep sleep Nathan felt deathly tired, and had to force himself to his feet to presume his routine cracking of the knuckles as he woke himself up. Apparently he wasn't any kind of sleeping beauty.

Noise was what usually what awakened the dead. Broken glass covered the streets from the beginnings of the epidemic. People had simply resorted to violence to get what they wanted and hit the seas, though that wasn't even safe. Who knows what happened to the people that made it to the supposed ships and survived, from the looks of it, little to none as there was no longer a broadcast every day at sunset. Taylor shook her head as she reached the shattered automatic doors of a grocery store. Inside she could hear the dormant dead waiting on a noise to attract them. It was hard not to cause a small sound as she stepped on the glass, slowly moving her weight. She held her breath as she eased inside and headed for the canned section. It was dark and she made sure to listen. Slowly unzipping the back pack located on her shoulder, she began to slowly set cans inside before one accidently fell of the shelf, creating a chain reaction.

Heart pounding, she wasn't caring about not making a sound, she was making plenty of it as she raced for the door. She could hear the moans, the groans. It wasn't until one grabbed her shoulder that she turned and sent a arrow through it's skull, she was quick to pull it out before the once living person fell to the ground, finally dead completely. Taylor jumped out the door, landing with a hard thud and the crunch of glass underneath her boots. She looked over her shoulder before she continued down the street, heading for a different fire escape latter and climbing up, stopping and catching her breath once she was out of reach. "Way to go Taylor." She said to herself as she tilted her head back and looked up at the gray morning sky.

Avery had woken up at dawn and climbed down the large oak tree she was nestled in. She always made sure that her sleeping spot was well hidden and high so that when she woke up she could do an easy scope of her surroundings. Currently, the young brunette was walking through a vacant Farm Fresh, grabbing all the food that wasnt yet stale. After she had searched the entire store, Avery had only found seven useful morsels of food.. and two of those things were boxes of Saltines. She had been lucky enough to stumble across a carton of juice tucked behind some rotten fruit. Probably someones extra stock. Avery thought to herself, knowing that whoever it was probably dead by now. The girl shivered despite the nice weather outside then hurried out of the store, supplies tucked under her arm as she carefully skirted the mysterious green liquid that blocked the entrance. She almost slipped and fell which probably would have attracted some unwelcome guests if she made a sound. Thankfully, she balanced before she could fall and only a quiet squeak sounded as she exited the store. Avery's heart was pounding as it was every time she knew that zombies were nearby. Her backpack hung from her shoulders feeling dangerously light which was making her uncomfortable. She crept behind an abandoned building with an intelligible sign out front. Avery slipped the food and juice carton into her backpack, realizing that she need more ammo. The thought of going deeper into the town where the shop was located, sent a chill through her body. While she was behind the store, she took the opportunity to crouch down and tie her shoes nice and tight because she knew that untied shoes would not be good for her while she was running from zombies. She stashed her backpack behind some weeds, knowing that she shouldn't take it with her. Avery began the trek into the deeper part of the city, her arms at her side, eyes cutting across the surrounding area in search of the enemy that was bound to be lurking somewhere.

My eyes snapped open, my heart was pounding in my chest as I frantically, but quietly gasped, my hand was placed against my chest as I tried to calm my breath. After a few moments of breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth I sighed and sat up, wiping the sweat from my brow. The nightmares come every time I sleep, you get used to it, but it doesn't make it any less terrifying. I looked around me, the area was still quiet with the average spare walking around.
I stood, stretching my arms and legs before tightening the sword sheath and backpack both strapped around my right shoulder and chest. I then walked to the edge of the semi-truck I had been sleeping on top of and slid down the front, landing with a soft smack against the ground below me. I straightened my legs and looked around, Time to look for sustenance I thought walking along the streets cold hard surface.

She let the warmth of the sunlight hit her face as she kept her head tilted. She then let herself sit down and place her cross bow down beside her as she went into the backpack. She pulled out what looked like a can of pineapples. She wasn't one for canned fruit but you couldn't be picky now a days. She opened the can and let the top fall to the ground, it landed on some discarded bags and didn't make much of a sound. Taylor then ate the contents of the can slowly, knowing she could make herself sick if she ate to fast. When she was finished, she also discarded the can.

She heard footsteps, we suspected it to he the undead. She got her crossbow ready and without thinking, sent a arrow in Avery's direction. Luckily her aim was off and it skidded on the ground near the girl's foot. Taylor looked at her arrow with dismay, now that she would have to retrieve the arrow and maybe send another at the moving figure in the street. Being in the fire escape, with the latter pulled gave her the upper hand, so if it did attract attention, she was perfectly fine.
