| Bio: | Character Information Name: Shy Pup True Name: Shiloh Mckenzie Gender: Male Age: 19 Birthday: 25 July, 2000 Greatest Ambition: to somehow unite all the various groups so that they may all work together to rebuild a civilized world Physical Description: Diminutive in appearance, Shy stands at just under 5'3" and is slender to the point of being a bit underweight. His eyes are large and bright green, inquisitive and very expressive. He has dark but soft brown hair, which tends to curl a bit when it gets longer. His skin is pale and flawless, like polished ivory. It doesn't burn, nor does it tan so it gives one the impression that he never sees sun. His mouth is on the thin side, his nose narrow and straight. He has a strong jaw and defined cheek bones. Distinguishing Marks: None Sexual Orientation: Bisexual but untested either way. Single or taken: Single Best friend: None as of yet Personality: First impressions of Shy can vary dramatically. One person can think he's the sweetest guy ever, while the next thinks he's a jerk. He can be quite moody and he sometimes forms opinions on others prematurely. In general he's very compassionate, curious about everything. He's rather empathic and can pick up on the emotions of others. While he's very intelligent, he can be naive and quite thick which sometimes makes him seem a bit daft. Shiloh can be extremely stubborn but while he fights for what he believes in, he can also be flighty and nervous. It's hard for him to trust others, as he spent quite a bit of time alone and fending for himself. He hasn't quite left the 'fight or flight' mentality behind and tends to be quite cautious, though he struggles with that because he's also very friendly and would rather make new friends than see someone as a danger. Once he feels he can trust someone, he's extremely loyal and eager to please. He has a quick wit and dry sense of humor, though he can be quite silly at times. Shiloh wants to be liked. When he trusts someone, he tries to please that person, and does what he can to befriend them. He's affectionate and caring. Despite his moodiness, he's not a violent person and shies away from confrontation that might end up in violence. He's small in stature and not very strong, and is smart enough to not cause problems. He tries to keep to himself around people he doesn't think like him. He was more outgoing before the virus hit; he's more cautious now, more like a pet who's become ferral after living alone, fending for himself for too long without human contact. Personal History: (Must be very well developed and at least 5-6 paragraphs long) Shiloh McKenzie was born on Christmas in July in the year 2000, in a small country village in Derbyshire, England. His father, Connor, was Irish while his mum, Raewyn, was from New Zealand. His parents met while attending university in London. They settled in the countryside of Derbyshire to raise a family once they married. Shiloh was the youngest of five children(Sinead, Connor, Seamus and Abigail were his siblings). While not the most grand, their home was large enough for everyone to have their own space. Childhood was fairly uneventful for Shiloh and his siblings. He spent his days reading, writing and playing with the various animals that were always around. His family always kept at least a few pets around the house(usually a dog or two and at least a couple cats to take care of the mice that lived in the barn), and there were always various farm animals that the neighbors(a farm just across a small stream that separated the properties) kept. Many days were spent chasing cows and sheep, and riding horses across the stream only to race them up the hill and across the expansive grassy fields. Growing up, Shiloh spent a lot of time with his sister Abigail, who was the only other member of the McKenzie brood who was living at home while Shiloh was a child. The three older children had already moved out by the time Shiloh was 10, and even before that he was much too young for them to tolerate his company much. Always curious and asking questions about everything, only the patient Abigail(or Bigai, as he use to call her) suffered Shiloh's incessant chatter. Only three years older than him, she often allowed him to kip along with her and her chums. They were home schooled together by their mum, Raewyn through their primary school years. Abigail then attended an all girl's school while Shiloh was left at home for three more years of home schooling. Shiloh's school days were happy enough. He discovered that he had quite a knack for art; he began quite involved in sketching, painting, sculpting and carving. He drew inspiration from every day life; his family members, the sheep-dotted fields near his home, anything that struck his fancy. Every year for their birthdays, he would give his loved ones hand carved figures. After finishing his A levels early and getting excellent marks, Shiloh was accepted into a program to study abroad for a year. He was selected to study in the states and at the age of 16, said good bye to his family and boarded a plane headed for America. Little did he know that it would be the last time he'd ever see his family. The virus hit while he was in his first year of university, a terrifying experience as professors and other staff members became ill and started dying. Panic set in campus-wide as people were glued to their telly, watching the news as they discovered that the virus was becoming more and more widespread. Students began raiding pantries and ice boxes, stealing cars and leaving for god knows where. Shiloh stayed put for a while, unsure of what to do or where to go. Most of the friends he'd made left and finally he was left alone, one of the only people remaining. Hungry, tired and scared, Shiloh found a car that hadn't been taken yet. Fortunately he'd seen a philosophy professor getting out of it before, so he found and broke in to the professor's quarters(thankfully most professors lived on campus during school term) and took the keys. With a full tank of gas and an empty stomach, Shiloh drove(rather badly at first, since he'd never been behind the wheel of an auto before) until he found a corner store that hadn't been completely ravaged. He filled the cranberry honda civic with jerky, crisps, biscuits, and other sweets along with bottles of water, gatorade and fizzy waters. Shiloh made it as far as Yellowstone national park before the car ran out of gas. He lived in the car until he ran out of junk food, finally leaving its safety to seek food in the park itself. He discovered that he was a poor hunter. He tried throwing rocks at squirrels, making a spear from a branch he'd found, even fishing. After catching nothing more than his own shoe, which he nearly speared by accident, he finally found a store of old metal traps in an abandoned park ranger station. He set them using some peanut butter he'd found in a fridge there. Using peanut butter, nuts and other things he found, he trapped all sorts of small creatures that he lived off for quite some time; squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, raccoons, even oppossums. While he hated killing animals, he wasn't familiar enough with most plants to know what was edible and what wasn't. While Yellowstone was beautiful and loaned itself to Shy's artistic leanings(he made many wooden carvings using a knife he'd found in the ranger station), he finally became lonely and moved further into the state of Wyoming. It was slow going on foot, since he tied several traps together and took them along. Eventually he ran out of bait; he hadn't caught anything in a while and was close to starving when he found a farm and quite literally stumbled upon who he would later find out were members of a tribe called the Wolves. Glad for the company(and not being on his own to get food anymore), he joined the tribe. Birth Location: Derby, Derbyshire, UK Blood Family: Mother Raewyn, father Connor, siblings Sinead, Connor, Seamus, Abigail. All but perhaps Abigail are presumed dead. What tribe do they belong to if any?: the Wolves How long have they been with that tribe?: Not long, he sort of stumbled upon them as he made his way through Wyoming on foot. Personal Strengths: Intelligence, willingness to learn, eagerness to please, resourcefulness, open-mindedness, Personal Weaknesses: Personal Skills and Training: Job that they have in the tribe or whatever they do to keep themselves alive if they're alone: trapping, art, general mundane work to make things run smoother. | |||||||||
