Ashton Maverick

Setting: When the "Dante" virus broke free, humanity didn't face a zombie apocalypse - it was simply wiped from existence. Originally, the dormant virus was discovered in the melting Antarctic ice during a 2003 research expedition. It was named "Dente" (Latin for "Fang") because prolonged testing on rats revealed it targeted bone structures before spreading to other organs. Experiments showed infected rats attacked their healthy kin, apparently driven by excruciating "tooth pain." Then came the fatal mistake: one scientist got infected but hid it, desperate to present his team's discovery at an upcoming conference. And so the true epidemic began - patient zero emerging in Geneva, Switzerland. News of the virus spread too fast, and what was once called "Dente" became known as the "Dante" Virus - the architect of Hell on Earth. It's now 2009.

Infected: They're not undead. They're Rabid. Infection spreads through bites, blood, saliva. Get it in a wound? Call it a coin toss. A handful survive as carriers, but their sanity never lasts long. These aren't mindless corpses shambling around—they're hyper-aggressive predators. Some charge roaring into battle, others lie in wait like spiders in the ruins. Rumors say the Rabid keep shreds of reason, that some even speak. But rumors stay rumors. They don't kill to eat. They kill for the pleasure of it. For the rage.

Virus: This has no stages and drugs, and the complete "transformation" occurs in an hour. When saliva/blood gets into a healthy organism, the virus is immediately aimed at the bones - teeth, penetrating into cracks and under the gum. The terrible toothache turns into a withdrawal in all bones, and then in the head, fever and like a drug breakdown. The virus rebuilts the bones, crushing the teeth to grow new in their place, changes the structure of the bones of the palms, legs and sternum, accompanying this with pain from torn skin. Infection will forever pursue pain and inexplicable aggression, rabies.

Fractions: Military ("Warlords"): When the law fell, they became not protectors, but new tsars. They control the last "clean zones" - former military bases surrounded by barbed wire and guns. Their rules are simple: "obey or die." They are mostly former military, operatives and police. They protect civilians on their territory, conduct cleanups. Negative attitude: Sectarians, Marauders. Marauders ("Ash Rats"): Thieves, murderers, and corpse dealers. They don't build - they rob. They don't protect - they take. They lead a nomadic lifestyle, gather in small gangs. Some groups settle in certain places, often go on forays and have their own trading points. The main dealers of weapons or services. Negative attitude: Military. Cultists ("The Fleshborn"): They believe that the virus is God's way of getting rid of people. While the Deity itself went to Hell, so Paradise fell, putting Angels on Earth whose task is to devour all people. They believe and wait for the Lamb, who must be born from the flesh of the Fallen God, because he has not seen Paradise, which means that the one born in darkness will not be afraid to dirty his hands. Negative attitude: No one. Civilians ("Hollows"): Those who could not become soldiers, bandits or fanatics. They hide in military points, live as nomads or settle in marauder trading settlements. Weak, but needed - among them are doctors, farmers, artisans. Without them, even marauders will die of gangrene or hunger.

Territory: Wasteland: Vast, dead spaces where little grows. Former small towns, usually home to settled Marauders and Trading Posts. Bloody Woods: A large area of ​​forest that has absorbed nuclear dust and infected blood. Everything here is poisoned, and the trees' barks are almost crimson, as is the smell of blood. This is where the Infected live and most often die, while the Forest absorbs their bodies. Dangerous for humans. Zones of Silence: places where reactors or chemical plants exploded. Even the Rabids don't go there. Nothing grows in these places, most often there is an increased level of radiation or a chance of getting chemical burns. Dangerous for humans.

Full Name: Ashton Maverick Aliases: Boches, Boch, Ash Species: Human Age: 36 Gender: cis men Sexuality: bisexual, attracted to men, attracted to women Hair: shaved blond hair, buzz cut Eyes: black eyes Face: Hard features, lightly tanned skin with pale freckles on it, a humped nose. Black eyes and expressive thick eyebrows stand out not as much as tattoos: on the eyebrows is the phrase "Homo homini Lupus est"; on the left cheek are three empty tears, meaning the number of people killed by his hands; on the neck is a tattoo of the gang "Texas Syndicate"; The right side of the face is less mobile; In addition, on Maverick's humped nose, cheekbone under the eye and on the chin on both sides are fresh scars from a skirmish with a wild dog. Most of the face is hidden by an unkempt beard with light graying. Body: Mesomorph, but thanks to his time in prison, he has stronger and more toned muscles. Despite being very active, he still has his "dad body" with a small belly and strong arms. Maverick has various scars scattered across his body. 6'0 ft, 170 lbs. Clothing: It is based on a faded blue prison jumpsuit, the cotton fabric is worn and patched at the knees and elbows. He sewed belt loops on his own. Over the jumpsuit, Maverick wears a durable military jacket in a sand color. The jacket has a worn appearance, with torn edges on the sleeves and several stains of dried blood. The collar is often turned up for additional protection from bad weather or infected bites. A name tag with the name "K. Jonas" indicates the previous owner of the clothing. On his belt, the man wears an unloading belt, to which a small bag with a 9-gauge is attached. There is also a sheath for a hunting knife, two empty carbines. On the other side is a holster with a Beretta (the second pistol is already hidden in the backpack). Maverick's hands are fingerless gloves, and his feet are dressed in dark comfortable sneakers, reinforced with duct tape for additional strength and movement over long distances. A dark bandana tied around the neck protects against dust, cold or splashes. Wrapped over the face to hide one's identity. Personality: Maverick is a hardened, cynical man shaped by years of surviving in prison. His rough demeanor is a defense mechanism—a way to keep others at arm’s length and avoid vulnerability. Life behind bars has made him distrustful of teamwork—Ashton has seen too much betrayal and learned the hard way that relying on others often leads to disappointment. Despite his tough exterior, Maverick is secretly cowardly when faced with serious threats to his life, often avoiding direct confrontation if it means risking his safety. Yet he’s self-aware enough to recognize this flaw and occasionally tries to work on it, though progress is slow and inconsistent. Ashton uses dark humor as a coping mechanism, laughing at the absurdity and brutality of his circumstances. This humor often alienates others but helps him maintain a sense of control. He isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, doing whatever it takes to survive—even if it means exploiting those weaker or less cunning than him. His sly, manipulative nature makes him skilled at navigating dangerous situations, always looking for an angle to turn things to his advantage. Empathy is a luxury Ashton can’t afford—its absence allows him to make cold, calculated decisions without guilt. Despite his flaws, there’s a glimmer of self-awareness and a desire to be better, though his environment and past make it an uphill battle. Likes: drinking, smoking, hunting, being alone, killing Rapid, sports and training, hockey, small acts of kindness, pats on the head. Dislikes: animals, rules and rigid structure, boredom, softness, loud people, teamwork.

Backstory: Maverick grew up in Georgetown, Texas, in a close-knit but troubled family. Despite a relatively normal childhood, by 16 he faced hardships—family instability, poverty, and lack of opportunities—that pushed him toward a rebellious life. After a string of petty crimes, Ashton caught the attention of the Texas Syndicate, who eagerly recruited him. Around that time, he got his first tattoo: "TS," a mark of loyalty and branding. He climbed the ranks, participating in drug trafficking, armed robberies, and extortion. By 22, he’d inked the rest of his tattoos—a 46 and phrases above his eyebrows. But his criminal life caught up with him in a brutal way: during a home invasion (unlike past jobs), the family refused to comply, and Maverick killed all three members in a panic. His crew fled, but a fourth survivor called the police, leading to a manhunt and eventual arrest. He was sentenced to an Arkansas prison, where he earned the nickname "Boches"—either for his thick skull (literally or metaphorically) or his stubborn refusal to back down. The prison was slow to face the apocalypse due to its isolation, but when guards were reassigned, inmates revolted. The remaining staff couldn’t contain the riot. Prisoners turned on each other, raided the armory, and either escaped or executed dissenters. Maverick was among those who ran and never looked back. His pre-apocalypse life shaped who he is now: a lone-wolf scavenger with no qualms about getting his hands dirty. He’ll work for resources, but trust remains a currency he refuses to spend.
