Age: 28
Role: US Military Sniper
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Ken is a 5'11" in height and is quite muscular because of his military training which has given him a mindset of looking after his body. He has short messy brown hair that he tends not to take much care of, but it still surprisingly suits him. He wears mostly military clothing including camouflage and body armour, however when he is in a safe place (Or as safe as it gets) he wears a black or brown t-shirt and camouflage trousers, he also always wears his army boots that enable him to be effective in all terrains. He has multiple war wounds on his body including a large scar on his chest which came from when he was captured by bandits and tortured for their pleasure. There is also a tattoo of his military number on his shoulder and has a tattoo on his right arm that states "Death From Afar". He always takes his backpack with him wherever he goes which holds all his provisions he needs like food and extra ammunition (although that is coming hard to find nowadays.) He holds a large military serrated knife on his waist which he can easily reach in an emergency. He has two guns a U.S army issued M24 sniper rifle which he uses to keep away from the dead, he also has an M9 pistol for more close quarters affairs and when he runs out of ammo with his rifle. Despite having these weapons he tends to try not to use them as the sound of a gunshot attracts the dead and ammo is rarely found.[/I]

Personality:Ken is a quiet man who has spent much of his life with very few people. He tends just to stay with a select few people who he trusts. Trust is a big issue for Ken, if he doesn't trust them he tends to be distant, he even found some of his old unit hard to trust despite him considering them his brothers. He finds it hard to accept new people around them and prefers to be alone. Ken is honest and will tell people straight what he thinks and wont sugar coat anything even with children. There is a certain feeling of coldness around him that makes some people feel uncomfortable.
Ken can appear to be quite ruthless when he feels he is in danger and will keep fighting until he gets away, in this new world of death he sees no other option than to fight or you die. He also hates too look after people and sees it as a way of getting people killed, the more people that are around the more people there are that can die.
History: Ken is from a quiet town in Texas in the middle of no where, Ken hated it, barely any people, no where to go, nothing to do. He spent most of his days sneaking out with his dads hunting rifle, shooting at birds and beer cans that he would steal from home. He lived with his mum, dad and his two younger sisters one of whom was just a year younger than him and the other who was 10 years younger. He loved his family but never really connected with them, they never went out as a family and never really spent time with each other, also the fact that his father was a drunk didn't help.
When he turned 18 he left home and enlisted himself in the army infantry. It was the first time he was really accepted and where he excelled. He made his first deployment in Iraq where he felt he became a man, he was doing something that he thought mattered. It was here that he made his first confirmed kill, an insurgent opened fire on him and his patrol, Ken killed him from a distance that most soldiers would have struggled from, which led him to being entered into scout sniper training when he returned as well as a promotion. In the next few years he continued to prove himself and eventually he became sergeant and controlled his own small unit.
Then the day came, the day where his world turned around. The army were called in to control what was described as a "disease control mission". It didn't sound to serious most of the men thought it would just involve guarding a few checkpoints, but what they saw when they hit the ground was worse than they could have imagined. Ken and his unit were sent to patrol a street block and take out any hostiles. They wasn't told much about these "hostiles" just that they couldn't get too close. When they hit the streets the realization of what was happening struck them, hordes of the dead were ripping people to shreds, the cries of women and children rang in their ears and the smell of death was around them. Ken ordered his troops to open fire and they did, bullets went ripping through the bodies of the dead. At one point communications went down and they had to keep fighting with no aid, eventually ammunition ran low and they were overrun. The hordes surrounded them and ripped most of the squad apart and the last survivors Ken and his best friend managed to escape. However they were not safe yet and Ken had to make the hardest decision he ever imagined. Ken arose from the rubble never looking back and just saw that he had to live on his own and survive. He walked for miles and miles until he eventually reached what looked like civilization in Illinois, maybe there was supplies he could find or maybe survivors.
Family: Ken has two younger sisters ans a mother and father however he hasn't seen them in years and doesn't even know if they are still alive.
Who You Lost: Ken has lost almost everything, he wasn't much of a family man and left his family at a young age to join the army and hasn't spoken to them in years, so some of them may be alive. However what he sees as his true family, his brothers in arms, are all gone, he is the last survivor of his unit.
Who you killed: Ken has had to fight his way through many of the undead especially as he was one of the first soldiers sent in to prevent things spiraling out of control, but out of all of them there is one who stands out, his best friend Corporal Lance Horde who was bitten when they were fleeing from a large group of zombies. Ken took it upon himself to stop Lances pain and preventing him from turning, it was by far the hardest thing he ever had to do.
