In-Depth Information
A drop in the ocean, a crack in the sky, a tree that falls silently in the woods, a girl born to face the storm, confined to the notion that safety was improbable -- impossible without sacrificing freedom. Left to stand in a world that is so demanding -- enclosed by the rapture -- in waiting for the cosmic shift that may never arrive. between the recess of society, invisible beyond it's borders, the only protection is survivorship, instinct. one person's garbage, forgotten and left astray, is her super heaven. invaluable to the longevity of self-preservation -- of a society that struggles beyond known borders -- in the unknown, the face of adversity. the most precious essence, held, beneath a sky that is not real. a forgotten sky, among the husks of the old world -- a bleak, and ugly reminder - that stands silent, frozen in time.

To be born a Lopez is to know compassion, empathy, and possess an affinity for life and to preserve its essence. Unfortunately for Lorelei, who grew up in a world where those tenants are mostly all forgotten, preservation is the only mission. A community that has managed to stick together, look after each other, even as the world around them fell into decay. In a world that does not provide sanctuary, Lor was taught that deep connection could be fickle and dangerous; it could lead to a pain worse than death -- follow your heart, but take your aim with you. Be swift, let not your heart trouble you. Life may leave us blind, love will keep us kind. Survival can summed up in three little words: never give up.

Though, to be born a Lopez is to also know that life out here is difficult. That nothing will be for want. Simply because nothing does not exist. Everything is nothing. Silence fills a world that was once loud and populated. Fear is any enemy that must be overcome at an early age or it will eat you up quicker than the infected can ever lay a hand on you. This life, nothing was ever learned or gained by being comfortable. We lose people. Our hearts and souls get numb. But the mind, you see, that keeps going. It never stops. It makes shit up, be smart and it will keep the people outside the city alive long enough to maybe see their next meal. Born in fury and wrath, Lor fights for every inch that is survivable, it is all she has ever known. Life is a commodity that should not be taken for granted. Though, she carries a gun and a resting bitch face, underneath is a heart of gold that wants to do the right thing. Maybe she will be faced with a tough decision, raise the rifle, give you a stoic expression that is unreadable.

Maybe she will offer a hand.

I am not who you think I am. I say learning is not compulsory, neither is survival.

Survive now, cry later.

Quick History
Both parents were survivors.

All the lessons that she has ever learned has come from them. There was not a lot the Lopez clan, living in their little colony, could have gotten away with. Not like in the city. Life outside was harsh, it was brutal and it was efficient in the way it destroyed and claimed what it wanted. In order to survive, Lor had to figure out a way to fight for every inch and every little breath afforded. Nothing was gained by being comfortable. Things were going to hurt.

Secrets would get people killed -- a thing they would carry to their grave. It was best to be honest and open with the other colonists. Besides, according to Lucian, Lor's dad, he would prefer a gun at his back that he trusted. Especially during supply runs, and when things got extra dicey, Lor and every colonist that went on these runs had to be trained to use discretion and stealth tactics. Feet like water, controlled breaths, know your weapon inside and out. Survive on the scraps. Learn to assess danger, and the best way to solve the problem in the blink of an eye. Don't think, just do. Thinking is the harbinger for fear, and certain fear meant death.

Lor was not old enough to remember the old world. Born in 2060 at the colony, the Lopez family had survived thanks largely to her parents and grandparents. The Lopez family a well-known name among her colony. One of the founding families. And, in one of the colony's tenets, never exchange with anything with outsiders. They are not to be trusted. It was because of this mentality, Lor developed an avoidant personality around people that are new. Though, already having been a on a few runs for the colony, there have been a few select times where she has met an outsider in the ruins. There was a mother and her child. It was the year 2090, five years ago. As the other colonists did a sweep of the hallways, the girl and Lor had instantly bonded. It was then that the mother had had a dying wish. To which Lor had promised. Take care of the girl.

Survival had to be brutal.

One of the colonists had done what needed to be done. Either the mother would bleed out or turn. Neither was acceptable.

Extra Information
Long rang combat expert. Just because she has not taken a shot does not mean she does not see you. There are factors that must be assessed before squeezing that trigger. She possesses the wherewithal, and the patience, to wait for the opportune shot that would maximize it's lethality. She also knows how to do a quick patch up, but nothing to complex or life saving. Actions in the field need to be quick and oftentimes primitive. Based on what supplies can be found.
