Job: Builder
Do They Go On the Journey to the Promise Land?: Yes. He's the male builder.
Appearance: Erik has long-ish blonde hair and green eyes. He is pretty tall, standing at 6'2". He is very muscular, since he lifts heavy things a lot, but only weighs 130 pounds because builders are fed less since they can't work as much as everyone else. He tries to keep himself busy doing all the extra work he can, and usually is very dirty by the time he can take a small hot shower. Erik usually wears a green tee shirt that he cut the sleeves off and knee length thin cargo shorts. He has a pair of sunglasses he wears all the time. Most of his pics show him in long sleeves, but he wouldn't wear the clothes in the pics, it's just what he kind of looks like.

HistoryBio: Before the war, Erik had a loving and caring family. He played basketball and enjoyed the school he went to... well, as much as a teenage boy can enjoy a school. The only thing he didn't like was living in his brother's shadow. His brother was the kind of guy everyone loved and was favored by Erik's dad, although Erik's mom took more to him. Erik was in sixth grade when his brother, at the time in seventh, had started climbing the flag pole to act daring, but his friend stopped him. Determined to prove he could be cooler than his brother, Erik climbed it and fell when he was almost to the top, completely messing up his leg, leaving him with a limp. He was cut from the basketball team, which only made Erik upset. His brother apologized and Erik forgave him, but always held a grudge.
Erik was fourteen when the war started and he was terrified. They were sending out teens as troops left and right, and Erik was scared they'd pick him and his bad leg would get himself killed. When Erik didn't get enlisted, but his brother did, he felt a bit sorry.
He was fifteen when the bomb went off. He had texted his parents before all cell phone towers went down, so he has always hoped they got somewhere safe.
Learning more about the environment, he decided builder seemed like the least boring and least dangerous option, since he wasn't even considered for an important job of isolation. He thinks Ouchies are the stupidest names you can give to the serious parasite, but, even if it has a stupid name, he'd never want to run into one.
Family Members: Erin Web (Mother), Alec Web (Father), Abe Web (Brother)
