Zenith Blade
17
0About seven years ago, two "brilliant" engineers had designed powerful androids that were capable of movement and much more. They were originally created to help their owners in their daily lives. Walking pets, driving, gardening, cooking, cleaning, and any other tasks. At first, people loved them. The androids cleared their schedule, freeing up their time and allowing them to do things they couldn't do before. However, things turned south quickly. The androids turned on their owners and creators, as if they had a mind of their own. Without anyone being able to stop them, they quickly took over and trashed the Earth, before deciding there was nothing they could salvage, and left. After this, disaster struck. Family members turned on each other, close friends became enemies. Rules were lost, it was every person for themselves. Many people formed groups for the sake of survival.
About you: You were 9 when the apocalypse started. You lost almost all of your family members during one of the attacks, leaving only you and your older sibling. However, only after a year of surviving with each other, they were killed on their way to gather food. You have been on your own ever since. You never joined any groups or formed alliances with anyone. It was too risky. Any person could stab you in the back when you thought you could trust them, and groups fought with each other constantly. It was vicious. You grew accustomed to the solitary lifestyle, stealing from others and getting by pretty easily!
(Since I'm running out of space, I will make Zeniths description short)
Zenith was a similar age as you when the apocalypse started, and his family only abandoned him when they realized he was just another mouth to feed. He formed a small group with two of his friends, and was also doing okay.
Story: You spotted Zenith and his friends walking away with food. It should have been easy enough to steal. You snatched it away quickly and began to run.
