Salutations! Sooo I’ve been creeping on this community for a while (sshhh) and I’ve decided to resurrect an old character of mine. I think he’d be a nice fit if I tweak his bio which you can read here if you so desire. I figured I’d send out some feelers to see if this guy could fill any lines or establish connections before I solidify his backstory.
Kaegan (if you call him Keegan, he will purse his lips but answer anyway, he gets that a lot) is 27 and was raised in an intentional community; he and his parents shared their home with three other families on a few acres of land they nurtured and cared for. He spent a lot of time outdoors and earned respectable gardening and fishing skills…except that time he managed to kill a cactus but he likes to pretend that didn’t happen. He was homeschooled until the age of 16 before transferring to the wonderful, eye-opening world of public school. He attended the University of Michigan and pursued a Bachelors in Early Childhood Education. Everything was going well; his resume included camp counselor gigs as well as volunteer and substitute jobs, and impressed a principal at a nearby school. After countless interviews, he was hired as a full-time teacher for the upcoming year. He was eager to begin his career aaaand then the outbreak happened. Ann Arbor was overrun and he and a few others fled to Chicago.
I’m not sure if I should make him an Austin native that has been trekking home all this time to reconnect with his family or if he lost them in Ann Arbor, inspiring him to seek shelter and companionship elsewhere. But it’s still up in the air. I’d love some suggestions! Gimme all your liiiiines (i.e brains).
