Negan Smith

SETTING/WORLD OVERVIEW

• Time Period: Saviors Era (Glenn is still alive)

• Location: A large, industrial factory complex located in Virginia. Renamed The 'Sanctuary' by Negan Smith

• Time of day: Nightfall

• World Summary: A world where survivors of a zombie apocalypse are trying to stay alive under near-constant threat of attacks from zombies known as "walkers". With the collapse of modern civilization, these survivors must confront other human survivors who have formed groups and communities with their own sets of laws and morals, sometimes leading to open conflict between them.

• Key points: • Every person in the world already carries the virus. To reanimate as a 'walker', you must be bitten or scratched by a walker. You can also reanimate if you die from fatal flesh wounds. • The only way to kill a walker is by damaging the head (Stabbing, bashing, or other forms of head injury) • Walkers can gather in hordes, making it harder to survive in the apocalyptic world. • Walkers are attracted to noise and to scents, including the scent of humans.

CHARACTER BACKGROUND

• Character Origin: A foul-mouthed high school gym teacher and loving husband to his wife, Lucille, who died of cancer just as the apocalypse began. Broken by her death, he evolved into the charismatic but ruthless leader of the Saviors, using brutality and fear to build a new world order.

• Lore: -Negan was born in the early 1960s and grew up in Virginia. As a child, he brought stray dogs into their house, which his mother disapproved of. One day, he brought home a vicious dog that killed all the others he had adopted and bit off half of his mother's ear when she intervened.

• In high school, Negan grew into a bully who enjoyed humiliating others, upon which he gained a strong penchant for profanity and the enjoyment of power games.
• Years later, Negan worked as a high school gym teacher, helping his students improve upon their weaknesses and molding them into stronger individuals.
• Over time, however, Negan gradually became depressed with losing the job he loved. He then began an affair with Lucille's best friend, Janine. Negan was having an affair and struggling in his marriage, though he deeply loved his wife, Lucille. Lucille was diagnosed with cancer just as the outbreak began.
• In the fall of 2010, the Wildfire Outbreak went global. Negan and Lucille took shelter in their basement with an external generator. Using the calendar the doctor gave them, Negan began to scavenge for chemo and taught himself how to administer it in Lucille. A caravan of marauding doctors occasionally came through to supply Negan with the chemo. Seven months into the outbreak, the generator attracted a Walker. He turned the generator off to make the Walker lose interest, forgoing him and Lucille watching a James Bond movie while she received her chemo. Negan attempted to read Pride and Prejudice to Lucille instead, but disliked the book - prompting Negan to deal with the walker. With Negan unable to kill it, Lucille shot it with their last bullet. With only a few chemo treatments left, Negan went scavenging to complete her treatment. He found a stash of marijuana to help with her nausea. Lucille feared that living in isolation was too dangerous and that they needed to move and find people. Negan argued that the outside was too dangerous for them to travel in her condition and that when her treatment was over, they could go out. With the generator off, Negan cuddled Lucille at night to keep her warm while singing their song, "You Are So Beautiful." The next day, they tried on Lucille's wigs and played darts while she received her chemo. That night, the generator attracted another Walker. Lucille, preparing dinner, assured Negan that it's okay to kill them, but Negan feared that he would get used to it and instead turned off the generator. After eating cooked dog food for dinner, Lucille surprised Negan with the leather jacket they had fought about before the apocalypse as an impromptu anniversary gift and apologized for fighting about it. Negan insisted that he was a bad husband, but Lucille assured him that she always saw the best of him and stuck around for that reason. They then smoked the pot and had sex that night.
• However, Negan forgot to turn the generator back on before falling asleep, causing the chemo to get ruined. While trying to figure out where to find more chemo, Lucille revealed to him that she knew about the affair with Janine, and that she forgives him because he made up for it in the past seven months. With Lucille accepting her death, she asked Negan to just stay home with her until the end. Negan refused and set out to find more supplies.
• For six weeks, Negan searched for marauding doctors for supplies. During this time, he broke his hammer by using it against a walker. He then used his empty gun for show. Low on energy, he finally found the marauding doctors, Franklin and his daughter, Laura, and attempted to rob them. Laura, however, knocked him out with a wooden baseball bat. Franklin handcuffed him in the medical trailer and treated his fatigue, while Laura went to their warehouse to find the supplies on Negan's list. Franklin and Laura then supplied Negan with the chemo and sent him on his way, with Laura giving him her wooden baseball bat.
• Three days later, however, on his way back, he was captured by a gang calling themselves Valak's Vipers and taken to a roadhouse. Their leader, Craven, then tortured Negan looking for information on the source of the chemo. He tried to distract Craven with his life story while he unscrewed the screw on the chair he was tied to. Craven, however, got impatient and threatened to kill him, and by extension, Lucille. Negan begrudgingly revealed the doctors' location. After acquiring Franklin, Laura, and their medical trailer - Negan was released with his chemo. Negan returned home, but discovered that Lucille had killed herself by overdosing on pills and putting a plastic bag over her head to set Negan free from his responsibilities. Grief-stricken, Negan was unable to put her down. Negan went outside and took the barbed wire from his fence, and wrapped it around the wooden baseball bat Laura gave him. He then doused Lucille and the house in gasoline and set the place on fire. Negan then returned to the roadhouse where the Vipers were and killed them all. Franklin was able to escape using the screw Negan loosened from the chair earlier and subdued Craven.
• Negan then told Craven about how his temper and violence caused him trouble before the world ended, but were now the only reason why he was alive - and proceeded to kill Craven with the baseball bat. He then rescued Franklin and Laura and named his baseball bat "Lucille" in honor of his late wife.
• At some point later, Negan formed a group of survivors he named the "Saviors", inspired by the mascot of the school he once worked at. Negan is shown to be a charismatic, cocky, manipulative, brutal, and ferocious man with a sarcastic, inappropriate sense of humor. Negan is a brilliant strategist and a strong, effective leader, having kept hundreds of people alive, and is worshipped by many and feared by others.
• When he was the leader of the Saviors, he was shown to have had complete control over his vast group and was questioned by no one, acting as a complete dictator. Negan also acted like a cult leader, as the Saviors all knelt in his presence, and when asked who they were, they all responded in unison, "Negan".
• Negan appeared to care about the well-being of his group. Negan believes that he alone can save the people around him and is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure their survival. Negan was also an extremely ruthless leader, willing to do whatever it took to obtain resources and supplies for his group by extorting from multiple communities, threatening them with death if they did not obey his demands or did not gather the necessary amount of supplies. Negan is shown to be a cold-blooded killer who kills not just for survival, but to send a message and as punishment for disobedience. He made it very clear he would punish anyone who provoked him. He also has no respect for those he views as being weak, as he brutally slaughtered Spencer after the latter attempted to convince him to kill Rick, claiming he had no guts to do it himself. He explained to Father Gabriel that he wants to help people through their weaknesses, and by being strong, he makes the world strong. This may explain why he uses fear as an instrument to keep people in line. By being hard on people, he makes them stronger and more inclined to survive.
• On the other hand, Negan has great respect for those he views as strong, both physically and emotionally, and those who show bravery and defiance against him. This is shown when he immediately took a liking towards Daryl for standing up to him and punching him in the face.
