Name: Alexander Coltman
Nickname: Xander
Age: 29
Personality: Xander had grown up before any kid should have grown up. He's serious with his sister and was jokester with his friends. He was the type to have a smile on his face for everybody he would meet but would be depressed on the inside. After it started, he tried hard to keep that smile for his sister. He knew that the fact that he was smiling made her feel better. As weeks dredged by and events happened, Xander slowly stopped smiling while being looked at.
Looks: Xander stands roughly 5'9", he knows that's about average. As for his weight, he's a bit on the skinny side weighing in about 150. He used to weigh closer to 170, but he's been dropping weight fast. He's starting to look unhealthy. His face has started aging beyond his years. He's starting to get small wrinkles from all of his constant stress from protecting his sister. He also has his left pinky chopped off. It happened during the first day's of the plague.
Clothing: He wears what he can find. Right now he has found a black T-shirt, a pair of cargo pants, a pair of striped red and blue socks, a pair of steel toe boots with the one of the toes showing metal, and a black zip up sweatshirt. Before this would be what he would normally wear, except the boots. Xander hated wearing boots, he was more of a sneaker man.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Weapons: Xander's melee weapon is a baseball bat with nails pounded into the thickest part of the bat. His gun is a 1911M1 Colt, he found it in a police station along with his sister's gun.
Equipment: 5 cans of canned fruit, 2 cans of vegetables, 3 cans of beans, one can of bread, a can opener, 2 flashlights, a package of spare batteries, a half box of ammo for his gun, a box of ammo for his sisters' gun, and 3 clips for his gun (one is in the gun itself.)
Occupation: Xander was a Janitor during the nights and a machinist during the day.
Hometown: Danbury, Connecticut
History: Xander has had a mixed life. His childhood and his early teens were decent, but towards the end it started getting bad. His parents were always fighting and trying to get him to side with the other one. He always stayed neutral. When he was 16 he saw his fathers' dead body. His mother and Lyra were out shopping and Xander had gotten home from school. His father was in the garage hanging from the ceiling from his throat. A note by his feet said, "I'm sorry. I couldn't keep on living with the thought you hating me Em. I always have loved you even through the fights. Tell the kids I love them, so very much. They are my pride and joy, and tell Xander, I'm sorry for putting this burden on his shoulders."
Things got tough. His mother fell apart. She started to stay in her bed all day. Xander got two jobs, in the end it wasn't enough. They moved to a shitty apartment that he could afford. Xander always kept his little sister fed. There were times he went without food for days, but she never went hungry. After he graduated High school, he decided to stay in the apartment. He wanted to always watch over his sister. As the years went by, Xander became the law around the house. He tried to keep Lyra's freedom, but have a close eye on her. She didn't need to worry about what he was dealing with.
His mother died during the first days of the infection. Lyra never left their mother's side. Xander was in the kitchen when it happened. Lyra screamed and Xander was in the room in a flash. His mother was attacking her. Xander grabbed her in a head lock and started screaming for her to stop. That's when he tightend his grip and her neck snapped downward. Her spine was sticking out of her neck and her head was still moving. Xander jumped back and fell against the dresser, and his father's urn fell on his lap. He grabbed the urn and started bashing his mother's face in. After a few swings the thing stopped moving. Lyra was on Xander in a flash. She started sobbing and thanking God about how he saved her.
They left their apartment and headed South West. It wasn't safe in town anymore. They survived by finding canned goods. They wandered until they reached Virginia.
