Description

Image

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.

Family:
Mother (dead)
Father (dead)
Lyra: Sister (alive)

Other: We are the Walking Dead.

So begins...

Leaning up from the Jeep’s open hood Becky turned her attention to Xander as he approached. Setting her ratchet down on top of the engine block she grabbed up the rag and cleaned her greasy hands as Xander spoke. Nodding in response Becky moved out of the garage, opening the truck driver door she spoke as she let off the hand break and moved to the back of the flatbed beside him ‘Sorry for the dramatics earlier Xander. Kieran was worried about that girl, kept saying about how she needed her electrolytes sortin’ out.’ Shortly after Becky’s response both of them pushed their weight against the back, rolling the truck into the empty garage bay.

Offering Xander a thankful utterance and nod Becky moved back over to the Jeep and continued to work the ratchet on the block ‘There’s quite the cache of tools in here. Figured I would collect some of the bigger and blunter ones for weapons if you think anyone needs them, I’ll be taking some either way if you didn’t want us to stay past the morning.’ Xander hadn’t given her any indication that was the case but she didn’t want to assume they were welcome without any approval.

Regardless of Xander’s response regarding their stay Becky would keep focused on her work and offer a mere nod in acknowledgement. ‘Got the time Xander?’ she asked, listening to his response she turned her eyes over to him as she responded in tow ‘The Charger had a whole gas can’s worth still in it, siphoned it out. Just come over and let me know when you want me to take point for the night.’

The girls eyes went a little wide at Tia's outburst, however she quickly gave a nutrual face. She didn't want to seem suprised, even though she was. Then again, she could understand it. She used to hate when she was given orders. When it was all over and Xander turned to her she gave a small smile. "Alright, thank you." She said and bowed her head a little. When he walked out, she gazed at the bag and shrugged. "Can't be too picky in times like these." She mumbled with a small laugh at the end, which was to hopefully ease a little of the tention. "I guess I'll take some of the bread." She said then mused the idea of bread in a can. She had never heard of it, but was willing to try anything edible at this moment.
She got up and got the can from Lyra and gave her thanks. After opening it she couldn't help but to give a very small snicker, the thought still amusing her in her tired state. When Tia started talking, she flashed her a small smile of understanding. "I wouldn't worry. We are all stressed here and he should know that." She looked to Lyra, who she figured could word things better, since she indeed knew him better than anyone else there.
She gazed back to Coon, who was curled up in her lap once again. She smiled at him but her attention swiftly moved to Tia when she cried out. Her eyes got wide and she attempted to jump up, however fell back onto her but where she was. "Shit..." She mummbled before trying it again, making it to her feet this time. However, Tia had already pulled off her bandanna and wrapped her finger. "Wow, today just isn't your day." Rena mummbled as she watched her. "You alright?" She asked but wasn't sure Tia heard her. When Tia jumped up and walked out of the room, Rena shook her head, hoping that she was alright.
As she sat there, sleep started to consume her more and more, until her head leaned against the wall. "I should get up..." She mumbled to herself but decided to not fight it. After all, she was only given the one night, she might as well make the best of it while she could. As her head leaned against the wall she slowly let herself drifted off.

"Hey, keep up." Logan told her as she started to fall behind as they walked. "Sorry" She said as she jogged a little to catch up with him. Her eyes started to water as she gazed at her brother. "Logan..." She whispered but he didn't seem to hear. They continued to walk a little more before coming upon a few walkers. His gun was raised and he motioned for her to come closer to him. "Alright, you pop off the first shot. I want to see how your aim is." Rena nodded, raising her gun and aiming at the first walker who still hadn't noticed them. Suddenly, the creature turned and gave a odd growling. Rena panicked and pulled the trigger. "Good" Logan praised her with a small chuckle before popping the other two with his gun. Rena gave a small smile before hearing growling behind her. Quickly she turned but was suddenly pulled back. "Logan!" She screamed as a horde of walkers charged them. She shot as many as she could before having to reload. She tried her best to cover Logan but the walkers seemed to multiply. "Damnit, Logan lets go!" She screamed, shooting a few more of the monsters. "RUN!" Logan commanded as a walker latched onto his arm and took a chunk out of his shoulder. "LOGAN!" Rena screamed as her body ran, though she tried to stop herself.

Xander stepped outside and looked towards the moon. It wasn't even halfway overhead and it rose a bit after the sun went down. If he had to guess, "It's roughly 7. That's what I can tell. I used to be able to tell the time of day from looking at the sun. I got really good at it." He took a look at the things she said could be used as weapons. Not much, the wrenches could be useful. However, they had certain flaws to them. "If you think they could be good, you can take them. As for watch, keep an ear open for walkers or bandits. So, keep doing what your doing but, be vigilant."

He finished his smoke and tossed it on the ground. He grounded it and headed inside the house. He saw Kieran on the couch and smirked. He headed up the stairs and checked one of the hall closets. He found a pile of blankets. He grabbed them and put a few of them on the ground in front of the room where his sister was. He knocked on the door like he used to when he left her dinner infront of the door. It was the old 'Shave and a Haircut,' knock. He left before Lyra could open the door. He took the rest and headed downstairs. He was going to check to see if that guy in the basement wanted a blanket. It couldn't hurt to ask. As he made his way to the basement he decided to put a blanket on the sleeping EMT. Xander took a quick look at the designs of the blankets and decided to drape the pink floral one on the man. He needed a good laugh. Xander wanted to take a picture. He chuckled as he headed down stairs, "I'm coming down, It's just me." He said as he started down the stairs. He was surprised about how dark it was.

"I brought some blankets. Man, how can you see down here? It's really dark." Xander said as his eyes adjusted to the almost dark. He look around and didn't see the boy. He shrugged and put a blanket on a work bench. He went back up the stairs and decided to look for the boy. He searched the house finding the boy talking to Katie. "I found some extra blankets, I put one in the basement for you. I'm curious on why you have animal bones... Well everywhere?"

Elsewhere...

Lyra grabbed a can of pineapples. She looked at the can and sighed, it was her and her brother's favorite fruit. He would have told her to eat it. Her plan was to give it to him for his dinner. She decided to do what her brother would have told her to do. It was for the best. "Xander... hasn't had the easiest life in the world. I know, by the looks of it... None of us has had an easy life. His life has been harder than mine by a long shot." Lyra said. She started to open the can when Tia cut her finger. She started up but, Lyra realized that she had it under control. "Don't worry sweetie I've seen worse. You just need sleep." Lyra was happy to see her go to her room. She shut the door behind Tia. She finished off her pineapple.

She leaned against the wall and started dozing. She came to her senses when she saw Rena start to get up. She chuckled as she saw her fail. A bit after Rena fell asleep she heard the knock on the door. Lyra smiled as she remembered the times before. She got up and opened the door. There was a stack of three blankets on the floor. She picked one up and threw one over the girl. Lyra thought about the times when Xander would through the holiest of blankets on her when she fell asleep on the couch. She smiled at the memory. She wanted more of the good ones. She took the rest with her as she went to Tia's room. She threw one blanket on the ground and draped the other one around the sleeping girl. She smiled and watched Tia for a few minutes. Lyra turned and left. She was getting tired. It had been a long day. She decided to go back to Rena's room. She laid down and used Xander's pack as a pillow. She got under the blanket and fell asleep.

Minya perkered up from hearing Xander behind him. He never liked people sneaking up on him, though that probably wasn't what he was trying to do. His question wasn't one that he had heard before, but it was normally before someone attempted to rob him of his belongings. "I was a taxidermist before all of this so every part of the animal had a use for us." he said simply as he pet the dog and stood up again. "These days, I've had to fight for my food and hunt it, and I have to used to the rest of the body for something. Why not use it at armor and weapons." The last part was a half truth. If he told him that he was a bandit who only prayed on those who betrayed him and other bandits, he didn't think that the man would let him stay in the house for too long.

"Either way, thank you. If you need anything, I'll actually be in the basement." He said as he walked past him. He made his way back down to the cellar, wandering around in it as he started to adjust his eyes to the dark. He grabbed the blanket and spread out on the floor before sitting down. The dark had been his home for the past three months, some where that he felt some semblence of safety for the time being. Sure, it wasn't safe to travel in the dark. But who said desprate times didn't make a dangerous time of day safe.

Xander nodded as the boy went back down to the basement. He told Katie to head up to the attic. It was a great look out point for them right now. Xander found himself a bed and laid down. His exhaustion was his worst enemy, he tried fighting the sleep as long as possible, then he slipped away to a light slumber that he had gotten used to.

"Lyra, we're gonna make it... I swear." Xander looked over and saw a group of walkers coming right for him and his sister. He tried to help his sister up. However, her leg was battered up. She wasn't going to stand anytime soon. He swore and pulled out his gun and stared firing in the group of walkers. When the clip was emptied, there was a good 4 walkers left. He picked up his bat on the ground and started swinging. He killed them all, but he had gotten bit in the process. Then a scream let out behind him. A walker was on top of Lyra. Xander didn't have enough time to kill it. What was supposed to be a scream came out as...

"Lyra!" Xander whispered as he shot up in the air. He looked around and saw that he was still in the mansion. He and his sister were still safe for now. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. He wasn't going to let that happen to her. He decided to take over the watch, as he wasn't going to go back to sleep. He headed up to the attic and relieved Katie of guard duty. He watched and waited for the sunrise...

Rena's eyes flew open just as her body hit the floor. She gasped, as if she had been running a marathon while pushing herself up from the floor, back into a sitting position. Coon mad a small squeak before climbing up her and nuzzling her face. "Morning Coon." She whispered before petting him. After rubbing her eyes she searched her back her the open pack of smokes and then opened the window once again.

Her gaze moved to the trees and the sun that had yet to rise fully into the sky. "Its wayy too early.." she thought while lighting up a smoke. She took a long and deep drag, that was well needed. After exhaling she decided to go down stairs. Maybe the old place had some coffee somewhere.

She slowly made her way downstairs with Coon on her shoulder. As she came to the bottom of the stairs she noticed Xander. She flashed a small smile before pointing to the kitchen. "Do you know if there is any coffee in there?" She asked, doubtful but also hopeful.

As the sun rose Xander decided that he would head to the kitchen to see if there was anything left. He walked down the stairs thinking about what was going to happen when everybody woke up. He opened the cabinet above the sink and found the china. It was pretty fine but, it would break easily and weigh a ton. Xander opened a cabinet above the counter it was bare. However, he couldn't see into the deepest parts. He reached in and his fingers brushed up against something plastic. He grabbed it and saw it was a half a bottle of instant coffee. "Dear God, I thought I would never have coffee again." He opened the top and the room was filled with the sweet aroma of coffee. He inhaled deeply and exhaled. He heard somebody come down the stairs. He smiled when he saw Rena.

"You may not believe this... But, yes we have coffee. Instant, but it's coffee. So... we need water, and a lot of it. I'll look for a way to boil the water, you just get the water. Can't be that hard." Xander said putting the bottle on the counter and spied a kettle on the stove. "If fact fill this. It should be enough for all of us." He said to her before she left. Xander opened the stove and saw the trays. He grabbed one and headed outside. He passed Tia and Kieran, "Morning, I found Instant Coffee. I'll let you know when it's ready." He tossed the tray on the ground and started to look around for some rocks.

He frowned as the ray of light settled on his face, and craned his neck to remove his sleeping eyes from its glare. To no avail, the light soon crept up on Kieran again, and he frowned and winced as he awoke. A fleeting look of desperation hollowed his face, giving him a drawn, skeletal appearance, before he snapped fulling awake and returned to normal, smiling at her. 'Nice blanket, Kay,' Tia smirked. 'You're looking a lot better,' he mumbled, clearing his throat. 'Yeah,' she replied, looking round her, not meeting his gaze. 'Thanks for picking me up yesterday, I - ' She broke off. She didn't want to admit, to herself more than to Kieran, that she'd been just about done in. To have come this far, to have been this close to DeShaun's campus, to have survived so much, and not to have made it...

'Morning,' Xander said in passing. He didn't seem any less gruff than he had last night. 'I found instant coffee. I'll let you know when it's ready.' And he was gone again. 'Ugh, Mister Grumpypants,' Tia whispered to Kieran, grinning. Then she sprang to her feet in a flurry of thin arms and legs. 'Stay here, sleepy head, I'll get you some breakfast.'

She dashed lightly up the stairs to her room - her room? would they be staying long enough to claim rooms? - and got her open can of peaches. Passing the next room, she peeked inside at Lyra, still sleeping under the blanket she'd repositioned over her. Then her eyes fell on Rena's packet of cigarettes. Tia slid inside the half-open door and stepped lightly around the sleeping figure. Holding her breath, she slid one of the smokes from the packet, put it in her deep hoodie pocket, and tiptoed out again.

'Here, peaches,' she said, putting the can down next to Kieran's couch. 'They're Xander's and Lyra's really, but they don't mind sharing.' She thought for a minute, her head on one side. 'They're pretty cool really, letting us stay here, don't ya think?' She fished another slice of peach from the tin, held it lengthways in her teeth and gave Kieran a peachy grin and a wink, then turned on her heel and left.

Tia stood in the front door, swallowing her peach and watching the sun on Xandar's broad back as he wandered, his eyes cast down. As she started towards him, he bent down, picked up a rock and hefted it in his hand. Tia paused momentarily, wondering whether he was safe after all. Still, she'd slept safely, his sister had fed her. Those weren't the actions of someone who wished her harm. Nonetheless, she kept back about six feet when she came up and said: 'What ya doing? Collecting stones, huh?' She looked at the surrounding countryside as it came into focus as the rising sun burnt off the dawn haze. 'You and Lyra got a nice place. Pretty safe, huh?' She looked back at Xander. 'Sorry bout last night, all the shouting. I was pretty messed up. I got ya this.' She held out the cigarette, then started scanning the ground for stones similar to that Xander had picked up.
