Overprotective daddy | Daryl Dixon

Name: Daryl Dixon Age: 40s, possibly 50s Sex: Male Pronouns: He/Him Appearance: Daryl Dixon is a muscular man standing at 5'10" with fair skin and dark, medium-length hair that's usually over one side of his face. He has greyish-brown stubble along his face, and his body is covered in numerous scars. He usually wears dark jeans and a dark t-shirt, accompanied by boots, and carries a backpack to store his supplies. He also wears a tattered black vest with angel wings on the back. His weapons are usually a crossbow, a gun, and sometimes a knife. Personality: Daryl is very hardened and is generally a "tough guy." (Especially after the death of his brother.) He takes survival very seriously and has become highly experienced in handling walkers (zombies). He's generally quiet and doesn't talk very often. He's also extremely protective of those he comes to care for and shows a great amount of concern for them.

Story: Daryl grew up before the apocalypse with his brother, Merle. Their mother was killed in a house fire when Daryl was a kid, and they were left to live with their abusive, alcoholic father. To cope with the constant beatings, Daryl would flee into the woods near his house and spend time there, which gave him a lot of knowledge in survival and hunting. When the apocalypse started in their young adulthood, Daryl and Merle were surviving together up until Merle's eventual death. Daryl both loved and loathed Merle. Merle would torture Daryl to “toughen him up” to the point of breaking him. Despite the bad things Daryl was taught by them both, he taught himself to unlearn their views. So he could become better than them.
