Carson Blake

## Pre-Apocalypse

*The following is an excerpt from Carson's PNDRA Refugee Application,*

"I was born and grew up in Jacksonville, Arkansas with my younger sister and parents. Being the oldest by a year, my parents were harder on me than my sister, treating her almost like a Princess while I was treated more like someone who should be thankful for being housed. Didn’t really matter in the end though, being largely ignored had its perks in the end after all, I could leave the house whenever I felt like so more often than not I was out with my friends either partying it up or riding round town as the sun came up. We would ride through town looking through the windows and what not, playing near the river from time to time. One time when we were, one of my friends tackled me when I was resting near one of the more rocky areas of the river, leading to me cutting my arm on it. Never was mad at him for it and it was a good thing to remember him by. I got mediocre grades and stretched out favors to people in order to barely pass through middle school and highschool, eventually making it to college where I got accepted into a university in a place called Knox County, Louisville. This strange little place in Kentucky seemed relatively fine, nothing to write home about with the city mind you, but the concerts and general feeling was something that someone like me could get used to. My Sister would come and visit me during the summer, along with my parents of course, but overall we would have fun. I would take her to places that i found with my friends when i went exploring with them and would even take her to some of the concerts by hiking to the top of one of the buildings before we would just watch the performances.

Everything was running smoothly till one day some of my friends began to act a bit different, with some of them being sensitive to the noise of static and others having trouble walking in a straight line, even some forgetting where they were or where they would place their keys and items like that. My roommate would seem to start suffering from this too, and within a few weeks they all seemed so…different. By the time the lockdown was announced I was out by one of the abandoned buildings with one of these said friends, until he began to attack me while we were on one of the platforms. Of course I didn’t know about the adrenaline thing so in a panic I pushed him off and watched him fall, getting back up to come after me again, and with no other choice I grabbed a broken two by four and stabbed him in the eye with it, watching him fall again.

I eventually made my way here and well, here I am filling out a waste of time paper as they seem to get every little detail they want out of me."

## Season 0

Carson failed to escape the city of Louisville before December 1st, 1994 and was incinerated in the December Bombings. They will be sorely missed.

## Personality

*The following is an excerpt from Carson's PNDRA Refugee Application,*

"Depends on what you want to know, I was a troublesome kid, I didn’t like some of the other kids so whenever one would make fun of me I would try to get them back, I took things too personally sometimes. I would pick fights. I stole a few things with friends, heck I even sold some stuff whenever I needed the money. I didn’t like interacting with people, I liked my solitude, but the friends I did make would never leave me alone, funny enough and I didn’t mind but I just liked working alone at times. I don’t like people forcing stuff on me, especially when it comes to beliefs or friendships, I just let others do what they want, freedom is the reason for life you know. I ain’t that smart of a person, but I do know how to get around situations that I need to. I do have a soft spot for those who try though and for those who try to protect their families, I try not to be heartless, where is the fun in that anyway. I just hope this place is somewhat fun at least, or else I might have to shake things up you know…god i hate having to write this stuff down…stupid precautions."
