Here's my entry:


Azrael

Gender: Male

Age: Undetermined due to past events

Race: Undetermined due to past events ( though what is known is that he is part human)

Appereance and Personality:
Azrael wears a diamond-shaped mask on which runes are engraved.
His hair is long and spiked, and barely moves when he walks.
He bears an armor made of an unknown metal, which according to some, protected him from the volcanic eruptions.
He wears a sleeveless cloak, hiding the rest of his armor from visibility.

Azrael used to live a mundane life 7 years ago, but the apocalyptic events that occured change him.
He only talks when he is needed to, and most of the time he is considered an outcast by the others who survived.
Some even consider him as an emotionless and ignorant robot.

He is impertinent, brilliant, and resourceful.


Backstory
Azrael is what he is commonly called in the year 2023, but he was known by other names in the years before: Izrail, Azrin, Izrael, Azriel, Azrail, Ezraeil.

Abandoned as a child, he was forced to endure the hardships of life alone. He made no friends as he grew up, and other people avoided him because of his disturbing appearance. He lived in the streets for many years, eating and drinking anything he could, just to survive.

After adolescence he decided to live in the mountains, isolated from all forms of human contact. He spent many yeats in that mountain, not knowing that at the peak he would discover that the mountain was not any mountain at all but a huge rupture in the Earth's crust that allows burning magma and ash to escape form the magma chamber below the surface; in other words a volcano.

Not knowing this, he continued his lonely journey of life in the forest of that Yellowstone volcano.

In the year 2016, that Volcano known in the year 2023 as the starting point of it all, erupted, and started the apocalypse Azrael barely survived.

Details of how he survived the eruption are still unknown, and will remain unknown as long as Azrael wants it to remain unknown.


I would post a picture I drew but my scanner has some issues.

Well, hope this is better.. :3

Gender:
Male

Age:
Born during the apocalypse so he's supposed to be 7 years old.

Race:
Unknown

Appereance and Personality:

Hera's most recognizable feature is the white vertical stipes on his midnight blue fur similar to that of a tiger's. It's canines are the longest of any animal that has ever lived covered with blood from his previous prey. His body resembles that of a human but his torso is much larger. His hands and feet are also similar to that of a human but also has the retractable claws of a feline. His eyes shine during the night much like a great predator and whenever he senses a weak prey nearby, his speed almost immediately increases as he follows his predatorial instincts.

He is easily angered and once provoked, can shred anything to pieces in mere seconds. Hera is pretty peaceful once you get to know him. Not that people have time to hang out with this guy, they are usually dead before they get to say hi. He has a playful behavior seen as he plays with what's left of his lunch and he's really territorial but is usually wandering to new places.

Backstory:
Hera was born inside a bunker deep underground during the volcanic eruptions that occured in the year 2016. His mother tried her best to protect him from the chemicals that was released from the belly of the volcano. But even under the bunker, radiation from the chemicals still seeped in and killed his mother. But for some unknown reason, it did nothing to harm little Hera, instead, he was mutated together with his mother's cat and both slowly became one body. He managed to live even though he was still an infant, living off the food that was left inside the bunker. He did not care if it was radioactive or not as the radiation only seemed to make him stronger. He developed superhuman senses and after years inside a dark bunker, he began to see more clearly in the dark. He also adapted to the cat's instincts making him act like a large predator.

Several years later, A huge hulking creature crawled out of a hole of what used to be the bunker's entrance. He did not know whether the entrance was locked or not as he just ripped the door off its hinges. Along with all the other creatures that were emerging from their hiding spots, It was his first time to see sunlight. Inside the bunker, he managed to survive by eating rations of the food left. But now, he hunts for food in the outside world killing and eating any living animal that walked the earth's surface.

All felt good at first but as the time passed by, He felt that he had no real purpose in this world, He lives, but he's a monster. Feared by his fellow survivors and considered as great threat to them. He now wanders aimlessly, scavenging items from the ruins of cities he passed through and killing other living beings whenever he gets hungry or whenever he gets bored.

One day, during his daily hunt for food, something in the ruins of a city caught his eye. No, it's not a ball of yarn, it's not catnip but something a lot more important. No, not something... It's someone he's supposed to know, he feels he's destined to meet with this someone. As he approaches the person, he begins to recognize it and felt excitement for the first time..

Allright. You are still able to tell the age. Because it is your character. Atleast an estimated one, as it's hard to imagine the character without a clue of his age.

How do you steal from ruins? It's not like the ruins are a person. You have not described his clothes at all, you just simply stated that he has clothes.

If he has forgotten everything but what he has read from books, how does he even know there are/can be survivors? It's irrelevant to mention that he happened to "find" his weaponry, without any actual reason. And what exactly makes a tree and a wall "difficult". Are they not difficult enough just as they are?

And now all the sudden the only thing he knows is that he needs to find people and shelter. You have no years, so it's unclear for how long he has had this amnesia.
It's unclear for how long has he been out there.

Screw this, im gonna share my story and attach the image later on.



Gender, Age: Male, in his 30's

Race: pure Human

Appearance:
Tall, but average body structure. Dusty, overused clothes, strange earflaps under a rusty hood. The hood does not shade or cover his face, so everyone can see his strong eyebrows and blue eyes. He wears a scarf on his lower face in case of storms.

Additionally a huge backpack hangs from his back, packed fully with stuff that is needed for survival. This guy definitely can get along if they leave him without any help.

He range travels with his motorbike, but lately it was hard to find gas to keep the engines running.

Personality:
Years strengthen his nerves, he takes everything seriously.
He cares for other lives, but cares for himself the most.
He wont accept anyone his leader.

Story:
Kari was in the Carpathian Basin when the great calamity came. Since the Mountains defended the Basin from the worst dust storms, a lot of people survived here. Kari left the cities, and tried to survive in the woods. But the 7 year night had come, and all the trees and plants died. Even tho he stayed in a radiated forest, his DNA didnt mutate, but remained Human.

In his starvation he went back to the old cities, to find some stashes. There were people living there in small communities, they had underground tunnels, clean water, and a strange society. He accepted their rules and their dictators, and tried to be one of them. Riot came after riot, but he remained silent, accepted all the false bosses.

Until he had enough. He lost his hope in humans, and got on the road again. He met many strangers, bad and worse in his way trough the Carpathian Mountains, but he never gave up.

In the mountains he met Am'ar Graados and they made a great team, so they continued their road together..

Here's mine. Art coming up :)
Gender: Male

Age: Mid-30's

Race: Orc

Appearance and Personality:

Am'ar is an averagely muscular Orc, with a light green skin, and two big teeth pointing down from his upper lip. He is bald, except for the stubble on his chin. He has a large characteristic nose and always wear a pair of black sunglasses above his brown eyes. He also wears a ragged teal vest, revealing a scar on his hairy chest. He has one teal shoulder pad attached to his left shoulder, by a leather-belt around the stomach. He also wears a belt with an icon where "DP" is carved in, and heavy boots. His voice is dark and manly, average for an Orc. He wears a staff that can change into a scythe, and a unique magical green gun known as the GC3.

Am'ar is a calm and serious Orc, relying mostly on short messages. A man of action, who loves to engage in combat, which is typical for his kind. He is loyal and caring to his friends. He appears very intelligent for an Orc, but his obsession of getting to know his lost past and irritation of being called a monster (Due to not being human) often becomes a problem for him.

Backstory:

Am'ar spent most of his life travelling from planet to planet through portals, a seemingly endless journey for a long forgotten purpose. However, teleportation between worlds can damage one's memory, and in time Am'ar forgot almost all of his past life, but despite his memory loss he always helped out where he could.
But the memories of his very latest travels are strangely still intact and still haunts him. He remember the war he entered against the Mad King's legion, and the adoption of two small boys, that he swore to love and protect as if they were his own children. However, an evil powerful witch known as Bernkastel kidnapped them and took them to her hideout. Am'ar climbed Mount Millennium in search of his boys and entered Bernkastel's fortress, but she overpowered him with her dark magic, taking him to her torturing chambers. This was when the orc's ally, Paillan, came to his rescue, freeing Am'ar from the witch by sending him into the Destruction World.
The Destruction World wasn't much better though, and for a few days he had to fight for his own survival against hostile void creatures. Luckily he found an escape, and ended up on a mountain on planet Earth in year 2023, yet again a place with a very dangerous environment. However, he met a friendly human by the name of Kari who explained to him what had happened on the planet. The two soon discovered that they were a great team, thus they decided to continue their journey together.

Ivan

Gender: Male

Age: 11 (Appereance of 8)

Race: Human

Appereance and Personality:

He wears wasted clothes that are double the size of his fit, scratched out from the right arm and an old cloak hanging on his back as a bag to carry up his stuff with him.

He literally hasn't seen anybody in his whole life besides his older brother, making him very tymid of new faces. His acknowledge about modern technology is close to 0, since he was merely 4 years old before the Nuclear Winter and remained isolated from society until this very day. Because of this, he sees technology as something magical and misterious.

Moving all the time, eating anything edible and being covered in dirt for so long made it easier for him to adapt to most of situations along the way.

Backstory:

Back on the days before the Nuclear Winter, he and his brother lived as street wanderers abandoned by their parents. During all those years of solutide, his brother did as much he was capable of to mantain him safe, until the Yellowstone Incident occurred, a horrible fate for many. But for their luck, spending most of the time hidden away from society, into the darkest and deepest of places did well in protecting them from the volcanic eruptions and the deadly cold of the upcoming and endless winter.

Chained to travel forever to find goods, most of those years were spent refuging in caves and tunnels, scarving for food. He learnt to read and write through books his brother picked along the way, even though some of those books were rather too advanced for both of them.

At the last months of the winter, his brother left alone to find more suplies, but never returned. Ivan waited for him as much he could, but in the end he was set alone. Miraclously, managed to survive the lasting months with was left of food, until life was finally crawling up to the surface once again. Decided to go out, he still hopes to see his brother one day, without any idea where to go.

Meh, I don't like it much, but whatever.

@Ivan(probably from russia?): I think it could be enchanted more ;)

Here is what i did with mine:


Kari

Gender, Age: Male,32

Race: Human

Appearance:
Tall, but average body structure. Dusty, overused clothes, strange earflaps under a rusty hood, that does not shade or cover his face, so everyone can see his strong eyebrows and blue eyes. He wears a scarf on his lower face in case of storms.

Additionally a huge backpack hangs from his back, packed fully with stuff that is needed for survival. This guy definitely can get along if they leave him without any help.

He range travels with his motorbike, with Ikarus written on the front, if he is out of gas, he rather pushes the bike on his road than leaving it.

Personality:
Years strengthen his nerves, he takes everything seriously.
He cares for other lives, but cares for himself the most.
He wont accept anyone his leader.
Good engineer, improved his knowledge for 7 years of hell.

Story:
Kari was in the Carpathian Basin when the great calamity came. Since the Mountains defended the Basin from the worst dust storms, a lot of people survived here. By the time he got to his parents from his engineering workplace downtown, the house was in ruins. He never found his family ever since.

He tried to live off nearby shop's stashes, but other people came and forced him away. In the cold, dark, rainless winter, he went down to the subway tunnels, where some people caught him, beat him and took all his goods.

It turned out, that a whole society lived in the subway tunnels. They exploded the entrances of the most stations, and placed guards at the remaining ones. Kari told them about his engineering knowledge, so they released him, and Kari helped them to keep electricity, fixed cars, anything he could.

But the people there were evil. Lot of them went trough mutations, and lost their humanity. They became greedy, sneaky rats. Kari found some people that remained normal, and defended each other mutually.

They often went to raids with fixed cars and motorbikes to the nearby countryside in the cold winter. Once they stayed out for 4-6 days, but barely made it back due the endless cold. Kari swore that he will escape during one of these raids.

And the time has come! With the first ray of light he knew it. He packed all he got, and a few extra cans of gas, and left with the next team. When they figured out he was missing, they sent others to hunt him down. Eventually they caught his tail, and he only could escape if he killed them.

The roud outside was terrible. Degenerated people would attack him daily. He couldnt hold much longer, but then he found a great friend. He met Am'ar Graados and they made a great team, thus they continued their journey together..
