## Pre-Apocalypse

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

"Son of immigrant parents, a German man and an Italian woman who died when Krone was 8yo. He lived in an underprivileged neighborhood and grew up on the streets, being a problematic teen, but got an education, enough to start working as soon as he had the age to do so.

His father couldn’t always take care of him, the people in the neighborhood took care of him and the rest of the kids that lived in a similar situation. His father was a metalworker in a car factory, and managed to get his son a job there. Krone and his father spent the years working side by side.

When he was 21, his father gave him a decently large amount of cash he had been saving for his son, and Krone, with tears in his eyes, thanked his father and moved to Louisville, a bigger city with more opportunities.

He studied a philosophy major, being tired of working those past years covered in grease and always surrounded by machines.

He also took advantage of being in a big city, and enjoyed his life to the fullest.

Partying almost every day, trying new experiences of all kinds, drugs, adventures… It was the most fun he had in his life, but he didn’t keep a lot of friends from that time.

Of course, he made a fucking bunch, as well as a few lovers, but none of them stayed around for much time.

At the end of his degree, he was starting to look for a job, maybe in some boring company that needed someone in HR, or teaching kids at a school…

But a month before the apocalypse, his father succumbed to a cancer Krone didn’t know he had, and went back to his town to the funeral and talk to the neighbors and friends he had there. His father didn’t want Krone to worry, he wanted his son to focus on living a good life in the big city, so these past years he suffered in silence. Krone spent that month talking to everyone that knew his father, gathering information about his family and ancestors, and wrote a little book for himself with the story of his lineage, ending with the story of the man he admired the most.

Mere months later, things started to really go down… And somehow, Krone ended up in a dark alley, with a broken arm, amnesic and with a nasty scar on his face that he wants to hide."

## Season 0

Krone 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 Krone's PNDRA Refugee Application,*

"Dynamic. He is always doing things. If he likes you, he will travel to the other side of the country for you.

Ruthless with those that think that can get away with abusing others

Doesn’t enjoy hurting others, but will gladly hurt, even torture others if they deserve it and doesn’t entirely forgive those that hurt his loved ones.

People can think he’s always cheerful and careless, but he is 100% aware of what he’s doing.

Good improviser, although knows how to work in a team.

Outgoing, will often tease those around him in a playful, sometimes flirty way.

Sharing a beer with him might lead to long conversations. Hopeless romantic, believes in cooperation and is positive about the future
