Background

Growing up Charles lived a relatively sheltered life being the single child of a loving couple in a quiet village in the UK, in school he was better at academics and mainly focused on those leading to him being rather unathletic but he didn't mind as he had his friends and that's all that mattered to him. Charles lived his typical teenage life without much struggle or conflict as the average person which he always saw as a good thing but this did lead him to being rather unexperienced in life when issues arrived. After finishing high school Charles didn't really know what to do with his life and decided to use the next few years of his life to figure what he wanted to do as an adult, this mainly consisted of lazing around all day and going out with his friends much to his parents dismay, then again he had the money for it (thanks to them) and didn't need to worry. he carried on this lifestyle of partying and laziness until the year 1998. His father had got a new job opportunity and decided to move them all to the United states of America. Charles was at first upset by this as he would have to say goodbye to all his friends but he was soon to move on. when he arrived in the states he struggled to make new friends and felt like an outsider. He and his family were on a car trip traveling across the states for holiday when the outbreak event happened, another car had crashed into them while trying to flee some infected totalling his fathers car. Charles Dad unfortunately died on impact while his mother was severely, Obviously distraught Charles and his mother ran from the infected and found hiding in a nearby convenience store. It was in this store Charles mother unfortunately passed. Charles mourned and stayed in the store for another week waiting for others to show up and save him, It was only when a group of raiders showed up did he join them, leeching off of them for all he could due to not having any survival skills of his own. From here for the next few months he drifted from group to group of survivors across the country overall surviving off of dumb luck, always being kicked out due to not contributing, his latest group kicked him out after discovering he had only ever managed to kill two of the infected after claiming to be an amazing fighter after stealing a few items from a group as they kicked him out Charles was on the run and made a last ditch effort of hopping in a nearby small rowboat and pushing it off to the open water, there was an island in the distance that Charles had heard rumours of being a safe zoned so he pushed as hard as he can hoping to weasel himself into a better life.
