PERSONALITY:
Haven for the most past has a Jesus complex where he has a need to help people despite the face he dislikes most people he meets. It takes a lot for him to even like a person much less trust them but if you do it means he will trust you with his life. He doesn't believe in words only actions as they are what make a person. He is also a very shrewd man as he needs to have a plan before doing something.

Despite the fact he wants to help people he does have some problems of his own. When he was in the military and every time he had to look down his sights as he watched all the people he shot die, it still messes with him with half of the things he saw and did for his country.

He has a few spots where it angers him to no end. He absolutely hates being called a sniper, in his training he was a designated marksmen. He also has a dislike for people who try and bully others or try and take advantage of them. But on the subject if you was to talk about fears his secret shame is that he is afraid of penguins.

Ever since the outbreak he tried to get in contact with what was left of the military but with most people dead he has been keeping himself busy by trying not to get eaten.

While all this he does have a few soft spots, he loves his family or well did love them before they were all killed. He deeply misses his wife.

HISTORY BEFORE:
Haven was born in a small town in Georgia a little outside of Atlanta. He was the youngest of 7 kids, but of course the all didn't live together as they all had the same father just not the mother. He lived alone with his mother and he was kinda of a momma's boy. His mother was sick most of the time and spent a good deal of her time in the hospital and was unable to raise him so he spent a lot of time with his grandparents who lived close by.

When he was 6 his mother took him to go the zoo and check out all the animals. Haven had fun watching the monkeys and lions then he saw something he thought was awesome. There was a pen where they kept the penguins and somehow in the process of going over to them he got separated from his mother. He looked at the flightless birds in awe but he was to short to get a good view so he did what he thought was smart, he climbed the fence. Now with a good view he waved at the birds but lost his holding and fell down into the pit with the birds. They all gathered around him and started pecking at him to try and get at the sandwich he was keeping in his pocket. He screamed and cried as they kept pecking at him and one of the workers came inside and quickly got him.

He wasn't hurt and he was reunited with his mom shortly but because he broke the rules he was kicked out from the zoo which he didn't care because now he would have a fear of those flightless birds for the rest of his life.

Life was normal his mom was back and fourth between hospital trips, but one day it would change everything. He was picked up from kindergarten by his mom and she took him home and and they spent the hole day together. He felt something was off but didn't care he was having fun just to spend time with her. After playing the whole day together he fell asleep in her arms and woke up the next morning. His mom had called his grandpa to come pick him up which seemed normal he guessed as he figured she was gonna go back to the hospital but before he left his mom cried and hugged him tightly and told him how much she loved him.

That was the last time he ever saw her as he left with his grandpa. It turned out her illness was terminal and she didn't want to waste away and force Haven to watch her die slowly hooked up to tubes so she took all her meds at once and killed herself as she left a goodbye note and will.

Haven would spend the next few years quite and alone as he didn't even wanna try and make friends. His grandparents tried to help but they wasn't able to fill the hole in his heart that his mother left. One day his grandpa decided to do something drastic so he did what he thought was best he enrolled Haven in peewee sports.

It turned out this was what he needed and he was really good at playing sports. There he met friends who would turn out to be life long friends.

His life was much better now with sports and friends in his life and for the most part was happy.

Unlike many of his friends he found school to be fun and he really enjoyed to learn and read. He stayed on the honor roll for most of his school grades.

But like the life of any teen High School is full of drama and he wasn't any different.

In high school Haven was pretty popular nothing major but he was friends with plenty of people. But with college looking over everybody head he found out something horrible.

As he was looking into money for collage he didn't have any money at all. His mother's life insurance that went to Haven after her death went into his father's name until he would be 18. His father said over and over he was putting the money in a savings account but when he asked to see the account his father just came out and said it. The money was gone, all of it was spent.

In the will his mother left she said that she would do more good to him dead than alive and the money would do him good for school and such. But all the money was spent, his father used it all to keep up his lavish lifestyle as well as pay child support to all his other kids.

Haven disowned his father and went on a spiral downwards and he was falling fast. His school work began to tank and his mind seemed off. But it would only grow worse. It was his senior year, two weeks before the final game Haven had accident during practice and cracked a rib. He wouldn't even be able to play the final game of his high school life. This would be what makes him crash into the ground hard.

He started to hang out with a bad crowd, his grades kept slipping even more, and even started doing drugs and even getting into fights. He would do anything just to keep his mind blank.

This next event is what changed his life for the better. It was Valentine's day at school. All his friends were off with there girlfriend's and he would have to sit alone at lunch for the day. That was when he saw her, a blond headed girl by herself and he seemed to be awe of her so he picked up what courage he had and went over to talk to her. Her name was Amy she was in the same grade he was, it turned out she was alone for Valentine's as well. The two talked and really hit it off together and he said this to her "Since we don't have anybody else how about we be each others valentines?" She blushed and said yes.

From then on the two of them were always together. She kicked his but everyday to get his grades back up and made him get his whole act back together. She saved him from going down a life that would have ended in prison. As the end of the year seemed to be growing closer she helped him find great medical college that accepted him but there was still the money problem to deal with.

He found a single way for him to be able to go. The military had a program that would pay for the school but he would have to serve 4 years first.

On graduation day once all of them were done getting there diplomas Haven got on his knee and asked her to marry him front of everybody. She cried hard and said yes.

Haven was unable to afford a ring much less a wedding so the two of them decided to wait until his 4 year service was done.

Haven joined the Marine Core at the age of 17 with a written permission slip from his grandfather since he wasn't 18 yet. He was sent to boot camp where life was tough, his training was much harder than any he did when he was training for football. He showed early signs of being a very good shot and the higher ups saw this. After basic was finished her was placed into a new training program as a Designated Marksmen. After completing his training his was given his first deployment orders. He was to head to Iraq.

He did his tours there and did things he doesn't like to talk about. After his tours he came back stateside and spent time with his family and fiancee for a while before being shipped back out. It was during his tours of Iraq when he got the nickname "Haven" that he prefers to be called.

It was a long four years but he finished his duty and came back. He had long had everything set up as he and Amy got married and moved in together in house outside of the city. She worked in her family's bakery while he went off to school. It was in his second year of med school when the fever hit the world.


DURING APOCALYPSE: The fever had hit the world and it seemed like only yesterday. Haven was working in the hospital as he intern. Despite being sick he tried to help the doctors but he was about useless as he felt like ripping his own skin off he was so hot from the fever. He managed to get home somehow and found his wife on the bed sick as he was. Time went on and she was crying into his shoulder wishing it to go away. He was reminded of his mother when she was sick and thought was this how she was during her final hours. He felt in his mind he was gonna die with her but for some reason his fever seemed to be breaking but she was getting worse.

He tried giving her med's from her emergency bag but nothing was helping. It was the longest time of his life as he watched the one his loved dying in his arms. She looked up at him and begged him to put her out of her misery and wanted him to live on to help others who were sick. He didn't want to do it but she was gasping for air already. He looked into her eyes and told her how much he loved her as he shot her.

Not wanting to go on he sat there in the living room with her in his arms, bleeding all over him. He pointed the gun at his own head as he tried to pull the trigger but he couldn't he didn't know if he was just to much of a coward or he just wanted to honor her last wishes.

He went outside without knowing anything when he saw them for the first time, the infected. He watched them attack and kill his neighbors. He ran back into his home and put on and grabbed some of his old gear from his time in the marine's.

The city was in hell as most of the military was dead and infected he joined up with some of the rest and tried to help stabilize the zone and save as many as possible. But the numbers were to much and there line was broken, he was forced to escape the area with what few supplies he had.

Currently he is just wandering around staying hidden. He helps what few people he sees but for the most part stays alone and is searching for a army or something to fight back these things.



ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE:

The night air was cool, the fall weather was coming in. Haven was sitting on the roof of a store as he watched the infected roam about aimlessly. It was a good thing they couldn't climb or think but he sighed "I guess something good has to come out of it."

Haven looked down his scope of his rifle as he, everything was dark as the only light he really had was the neon sign from the store and the moonlight. "Its getting pretty late, I better get some rest, I need to get some miles in" he heard rumors about a town or something were people were staying, away from the infected.

He laid down on his portable foam mat he brought with him and laid down trying to get a few hours sleep. The quietness didn't last very long as a loud scream echoed across the entire place. "What the hell" he said getting back on his feet.

He looked through his scope again and saw in the distance a woman in a trailer screaming. It seems she was hiding in there and a infected managed to get in there. As she ran out he saw that she was holding her shoulder, she was already bitten.

"Damn" he said to himself "It was far to late for him to even do anything for her now." She was slowing down as he wound was getting to her. "There is only one thing I can do now" he aimed his rifle at the woman and with a small pull of a trigger he shot her through the back of her head. It wasn't pretty but much better than for her to get eaten alive by those things. He didn't like killing people much but life isn't about getting what you want, she was just another person he would remember killing like all the others in his life.

PLANS: Look for the military and help fight back these things, maybe look for family if any are still alive.

ANYTHING ELSE?: nope
