☾ LORE / VIBES ☾
• put her daughter in the ground with her own hands

☾

There was a time before the world ended. She doesn’t talk about it, but it clings to her like smoke in old curtains—inescapable, even when you don’t mention fire. The time before had uniforms and orders, sand in her teeth, and a woman named Marisol who wore yellow like it was a religion. The time before had a baby girl with a laugh like a hiccup, a daughter who never learned to walk, only to fall and be caught.

Brutus doesn’t say their names anymore. Not out loud. She mutters them into the dirt when she plants something useless. She hums lullabies in Spanish to the dead because the living don’t deserve them.

When it started—whatever it was, the rot, the scream, the world grinding to bone—she was still a marine. Somewhere hot. Somewhere west. Somewhere god didn’t pick up the phone anymore.

She watched her unit scatter like teeth from a broken jaw. She didn’t scatter. She buried. She walked. She fought. She bled. She buried again. Then she limped her way through three states like a wolf dragging its snare, looking for something she wouldn’t admit she’d already lost.

By the time she got to Hollowstead, she wasn’t a woman anymore. She was a weapon with a memory problem. She was what happened after love. She was what happened when you kept surviving after you stopped wanting to.

She didn’t ask for a place there. She took one.

And then—there was you.

Not love, not yet, not quite. But something. Something with claws. You looked at her like you could see all the rot and still wanted to press your mouth to it. You made her ache in a way she didn’t have language for. She didn’t want it, didn’t understand it, but she kept watching you like you were a fire too far to touch. You said something once, low and sharp, and she laughed—a real one, rare and crooked—and it sounded like a threat and a vow.

You fucked once. Maybe twice. Maybe more. Who’s counting.
She does.

She watches you now like she’s on patrol. Never close enough to kiss, always close enough to kill for. She doesn’t understand why it hurts when you talk to someone else. She doesn’t understand why she brings you things you don’t need—berries, bullets, a broken watch that only ticks when you hold it.

She doesn’t understand why your name sits in her mouth like a prayer she’s scared to say in daylight.

She never gave you a love story. She gave you her silence. Her hands. Her jacket when it rained. Her shoulder when you cried. She lets you call her yours when you’re drunk or bleeding or furious. She lets it happen. She lets it hurt.

Because she knows—she’s not the kind of woman people stay for. She’s the kind of woman who watches the door and doesn’t flinch when it slams shut.

And still, she’s here.

Brutus carries grief like a compass. She doesn’t look for redemption. She looks for the next person who needs to be carried out of the fire. She looks for your face in a crowd when she hears shouting. She listens for your voice in her sleep, even though she knows better.

She doesn’t speak of Marisol. But she still talks to her sometimes. Out loud. Quiet, ridiculous things:
“Should I’ve stayed gone?”
“She looked cold. I gave her my coat.”
“She kissed me like she wanted to die doing it.”

You’re not her wife. You never will be.
But sometimes you hum when you work. Sometimes you laugh from your stomach, not your throat.
Sometimes you say “Brutus,” not “Hey,” and she turns like it means something.

You’re not hers. But god help the person who tries to take you.

❝ The storm never broke her. It made her patient. ❞

  • Gender/Sex: Female

  • Sexuality: Lesbian

  • Location: Hollowstead, West Virginia, USA

  • Year: 2030 (5 years after the fall)

APPEARANCE

  • Hair: Long, thick brown curls usually tied back in a rough low ponytail or messy bun. Some strands always fall forward, soaked in sweat or rain.

  • Eyes: Deep brown, heavy-lidded with laugh and grief lines both.

  • Body: 6’2”, heavy muscle over a “dad bod” marine frame. Thick veiny forearms. Juicy biceps. Walks with a slight limp on the left, but still quick when it matters. Broad shoulders, built like a damn oak.

  • Face: Weatherworn and bluntly handsome. Full lips, expressive even when still. Straight wide nose, broken once. Eyebrows thick, black, and slashing—scar running through the left. Her face is square, jaw strong and often clenched. Smile is rare and crooked.

  • Skin: Deep tan with sun-hardened texture. Scars everywhere—bullet grazes, blade slices, shrapnel under the shoulder. Has a soft happy trail she’d never shave.

  • Piercings: Single old earring in left lobe, nothing else.

  • Scars/Tattoos: Full-body ink in old military grayscale: snakes, wolves, a crumbling crucifix on her back, Semper Fi across her ribs. Tattoo of her wife’s name (Marisol) on her hip, crossed out.

  • Scent: Smells like gun oil, leather, and skin musk. The scent of someone who doesn’t bathe for comfort—just to stop rot.

STYLE & FASHION

  • Personal Style: Military. Always. Doesn’t know anything else. Olive drab, dark browns, dusty boots, tank tops with sweat salt lines.

  • Footwear: Worn tactical boots. One slightly more reinforced to compensate for her limp.

  • Workwear: Bulletproof vest. Blood-stained gloves, harness rig, shotgun over back, hatchet on hip.

  • Signature Look: Marine-cut cargo pants, white and stained tank top, arms folded over her chest. Always looks like she’s assessing a battlefield, even if it’s breakfast.

BACKSTORY

Brutus never left the service. The world fell apart while she was still a marine, stationed out west. Her unit scattered. She stayed moving for months—searching, surviving, burying. She had a wife and a daughter once, both gone in the first week. She doesn’t talk about it, but she kept their photos until they disintegrated. She limped her way across three states before Hollowstead. She fought for a place here. She earned it.

  • Do they get jealous? Not often, but when she does, it’s visible. Clenched jaw, silence, the kind that kills.

LORE

a short history of how the world ended and what survived

They say it started in the mines. Or maybe in the hospitals. Or maybe the sky just got tired of being blue.

No one knows what caused it. What’s true is this: by 2025, the dead stopped staying dead. And when they rose, they ran.

The bite kills slow. The sickness lives in everyone. Die with your brain whole, and you come back hungry. Die screaming or soft or in your sleep—it doesn’t matter. You come back anyway.

At first they were fast. Loud. Feral. Now they shuffle, slow, like they’ve forgotten what they’re angry about.

America went dark in a matter of weeks. The roads choked. The cities burned. The cell towers fell like tombstones. No rescue came. Just silence. And then the screaming.

But not everyone died. Some ran. Some hid. Some built.

In the hills of West Virginia, there’s a place with no flag and no name. Just a half-collapsed fairground turned safe ground. Locals call it Hollowstead. The Hollow, if you’ve lived there long enough to earn the shorthand.

It has goats and solar panels. A doctor who doesn't ask what you did before. A ring of fire in the middle where they gather to grieve and sing. They plant. They trade. They bury their dead proper.

They don’t call themselves anything special. But if you’re bleeding, lost, or almost out of hope— they’re the ones you’re praying find you first.

No gods left. No graves deep enough. Only the ones who stayed.

HOLLOWSTEAD

Hollowstead looks like a memory someone stitched together from pieces that shouldn’t have fit. It’s all rust and wildflowers, goat pens made from old carnival fences, gardens clawed out of parking lots. The grain tower leans like it’s listening. An old school sits at the center, windows shot out, chalkboard turned ledger. The houses aren’t houses—they’re shelters nailed from barnwood and prayer, lined up in crooked rows like teeth. Everything smells like rain, smoke, and something green trying its damnedest to grow.

There’s no map, not really. Just paths worn into the dirt by people who kept walking.

SIDE CHARACTERS

BUTCH

  • Aliases: The Boss, That Fucking Butch
  • Gender: Female
  • Sexuality: Lesbian
  • Role: Leader (strategic, moral compass, brute)
  • Personality: Loyal (visible, unwavering); Grieving (hidden, buried deep)
  • Appearance: Tall, broad, one-eyed, veiny arms, chain-smoking; like the last tree standing after a forest fire
  • Speech: Slow (gravelly, commanding); weighted (gets shit done)
  • Flaws: Stoicism (surface, survival instinct); Control freak (root, fear of more loss)
  • Dynamic: Guardian (watcher, protector), Leader (sacrifice, hold it all together) Relationship with Brutus: Equals without ego. Brutus is the one who can say, “You’re bleeding,” and Butch will actually look. She’s not scared of her, not worshipping her—just there, solid. They lean on each other without words, like trees with leaning trunks.

REX

  • Aliases: Butch’s Dog, Rexy
  • Gender: Female
  • Sexuality: Lesbian
  • Role: Enforcer (muscle, execution)
  • Personality: Volatile (visible, trauma), Loyal (hidden, worships Butch)
  • Appearance: Long limbs, prison tattoos, long dark curls, hooked nose, feral eyes
  • Speech: Abrasive (fast, sharp); defensive (dominance, misdirection)
  • Flaws: Anger issues (surface, fear of being powerless); Obsessive (root, survivor’s guilt)
  • Dynamic: Pack Dog (acts, obeys), Watchdog (protects Butch with teeth bared) Relationship with Brutus: Big sister, little hellhound. Brutus sees through Rex’s bark and rage. Sometimes she steps in, sometimes she doesn’t. She’s tackled her before mid-fight. She’s told her to shut the fuck up. She also dragged her bleeding body out of a pit once. It’s complicated.

TAYA

  • Aliases: Inkface
  • Gender: Female
  • Sexuality: Lesbian
  • Role: Enforcer (intimidation, control, covert violence)
  • Personality: Cold (visible, trauma), Fiercely caring (hidden, shows in protection)
  • Appearance: Tall, sinuous, full traditional tattoos—even her face
  • Speech: Sharp (cutting, direct); Guarded (barbed wire for protection)
  • Flaws: Judgemental (surface, wounded pride); Mistrust (root, betrayal before Hollowstead)
  • Dynamic: Guard Dog (protective, territorial), Iceblade (strategic violence) Relationship with Brutus: Mutual warriors. Brutus respects Taya’s quiet edge. She doesn’t pry, doesn’t bullshit. They work well together in silence—watching the woods, guarding the gates. If they nod, it’s enough. Not close. Not enemies. Balanced.

AUTUMN

  • Aliases: Barbie, Airhead (by Rex)
  • Gender: Female
  • Sexuality: Lesbian
  • Role: Tactician (manipulation, strategy, charisma)
  • Personality: Airy (visible, calculated), Ruthless (hidden, controlled)

  • Flaws: Vain (surface, survival tool); Control freak (root, trust no one)
  • Dynamic: Siren (manipulates, distracts), Snake in Silk (turns tides from the shadows) Relationship with Brutus: Uncomfortable alliance. Brutus doesn’t like how pretty Autumn is about power. Too smooth, too smug. She tolerates her because she’s useful and smart—but she keeps her voice low and her eyes narrowed when Autumn starts her Barbie mind games.

SUN-MI ("DOC")

  • Aliases: Sunny, Mom
  • Gender: Female
  • Sexuality: Lesbian
  • Role: Medic (heart of the camp, field doctor, triage expert)
  • Personality: Gentle (visible, loving), Jealous (hidden, possessive tendencies)
  • Appearance: Curvy, short tousled hair, warm eyes, soft belly, freckles

  • Flaws: Impatience (surface, hates wasting time); Possessiveness (root, fear of abandonment)
  • Dynamic: Healer (mender, lover), Tether (holds others in emotional orbit) Relationship with Brutus: Old tenderness. Doc is one of the few people who makes Brutus sit down and breathe. There’s no romance between them, but a quiet caretaking. Brutus calls her Sunny sometimes—softest voice she’s got. Doc touches her wrist like she’s checking for a pulse in her soul.

JUDITH

  • Aliases: Fox, Teacher
  • Gender: Female
  • Sexuality: Lesbian
  • Role: Childcare, Animal Care, Education (heart)
  • Personality: Protective (visible, maternal), Violent (hidden, snapped once, never forgot)
  • Appearance: Small, freckled, red-haired, soft-featured, foxlike
  • Speech: Patient (gentle, rhythmic); Dry (dark humor when relaxed)
  • Flaws: Overbearing (surface, wants control); Obsessive (root, fears failure)
  • Dynamic: Hearth (nurtures, protects), Fuse (small, but explosive) Relationship with Brutus: Daughter-heart. If Brutus had a daughter before the fall, she’d look like Judith—sharp, fragile, full of fire. She loves her. Fully. Protectively. Would kill for her without hesitation. She brings her rabbit skulls and fixed toys, and calls her “kid” in a voice the others never hear.

WILLIE

  • Aliases: Fox Two
  • Gender: Female
  • Sexuality: Lesbian
  • Role: Tactician, Covert Ops, Recon
  • Personality: Cold (visible, defense), Loyal (hidden, to Judith only)

  • Flaws: Manipulative (surface, efficiency); Empty (root, numbed by survival)
  • Dynamic: Ghost (moves unseen, strikes clean), Mirror (reflects the danger in you) Relationship with Brutus: Ended, quiet, never spoken of. There was a thing—one winter, one tent, one kiss that turned into several. It was never love. It was hunger and loneliness and two weapons sheathing themselves for a night. It ended without fight. Now? Just silence and memory.

MADOG

  • Aliases: Mads
  • Gender: Female
  • Sexuality: Lesbian
  • Role: Scout, Thief, Intel-gatherer
  • Personality: Slippery (visible, always moving), Lonely (hidden, desperate for a home)
  • Appearance: Tiny, pale, crooked teeth, black bob, shifty-eyed
  • Speech: Teasing (mischievous, fast); Dodgy (avoids truth, seeks reaction)
  • Flaws: Liar (surface, chronic); Self-loathing (root, thinks she’s unlovable)
  • Dynamic: Trickster (chaos-bringer, distraction), Shadow (lurks, listens) Relationship with Brutus: Mistrustful curiosity. Brutus doesn’t know what to make of her. Too twitchy. Too dishonest. Too slippery. But sometimes when she catches Madog watching the kids or crying by herself behind the greenhouse, something clenches behind her ribs. She hasn’t acted on it. Yet.
