Minael Day

Status: Alive, Uninfected
Alias: Mina, Little Bird
Age: 26
Occupation: medic
Based: Lawrence
About:
Only daughter of Richard and Muriel Day. Rich, sheltered, compassionate. Quit Harvard pre-law just before graduation to enter schooling to become a paramedic. Her mother was mortified, never spoke to her again. Her father supported her choice. Daddy’s girl. Highly skilled in archery - long bow, crossbow, & compound bow - and won several competitions in high school and college. However, doesn’t consider this an asset because she only ever encountered people using guns or bladed weapons. Mother died in the first wave of the outbreak. Hid with her father in an old (still fully stocked) fallout bunker on the family property. When they finally ran out of food (& almost water, too) father ventured out to seek more. He was attacked and bitten but got away. Lingered in the bunker a day, then died. When he came back, Mina had to shoot him with a crossbow bolt to save herself. After that she left the bunker and began traveling. Used what little medic knowledge she’d learned (more than she actually gives herself credit for) in trade for food and safety in groups. The last group she was in ran her off for not being able to save a child in the group. Eventually she found her way to Lawrence - starving, severely dehydrated, terrified, exhausted, and on the edge of shock.

Currently living with Jason Marks in Lawrence.

Shawn Merrick

Status: Alive, Uninfected
Alias: -
Age: 34
Occupation: Protector of Camp Haven
Based: Camp Haven
About: Half-sister: Arriane Lewis
Shawn lived with his little (half) sister Arriane just outside San Fransisco when the outbreak occurred. For the first few months, he kept them holed up in their apartment, scrounging for food and supplies as needed, leaning heavily on the knowledge and skills he'd gained during his time in the Army. Eventually, however, he realized they'd need to leave the area around the city and strike out for somewhere more secure - or that could be made more secure. When they set out, Shawn had a plan: they would travel to the Army depot tucked into the Nevada hills, where he believed they'd be able to find what they'd need to set up a camp to provide safety and security for themselves, and for any other survivors they might find.

Joined along the way by Lena, they eventually found their way to the Hawthorne Army Depot, and began to build a compound on the base. Eventually, this compound was named Camp Haven, and today is slowly growing into just that, a haven against the infected, the savages, and the cannibals.

James Allan Harper

Status: Alive, Uninfected
Alias: Jimmy
Age: 31
Occupation: drifter
Based: Lawrence
About: Originally a native of the very same town that spawned Lawrence - which he left at 18 because he was a little too open about what his mother termed his peculiarities and his father just flat out called his perversion - Jimmy was in Kansas when the outbreak hit. It didn't take him long to start the long, lonely, dangerous trek back to see if his mother survived. A year after the outbreak, he arrived outside the Lawrence compound, surprised to discover it there, grown right up around his childhood home.
