SILAS HENRY WOLF
welcome to the end of humanity, so what's your name then?"don't bloody remind me it's the end of humanity. do you think that's some sort of joke, starting this like that? well, it's not funny. i don't know why i should tell you anything, but i guess if i want to get out of here, i'll have to. my name's silas. you know, like from the bible. paul and silas. it's funny how you always hear about paul but never about the 'other guy,' isn't it? my middle name's henry, and my last name is wolf. there's only one of me left ever since...well, ever since everything changed, so it makes me an almost literal lone wolf. but wolves are strong, and i hope...i hope i can live up to my name in these trials that are sure to come."
i really like that name. so how old are you, and when were you born?"you like it? or do you just say that to everyone so that they'll keep talking and forget how offended or upset they were when you said 'welcome to the end of humanity?' that's bound to scare some people, and i imagine you've been punched in the face once or twice. i don't trust you and i don't feel one hundred percent comfortable telling you all this stuff. but again, i guess if i've got to get away from you, i've got to answer, don't i? i'm nineteen years old, and i was born on september 30th in 1991. i guess that's kind of young, considering how old some of those military and government guys are. still, that's old enough to be drafted and everything. maybe that's what i'll end up doing."
lovely. so it's the end of the world, who do you belong to?"fuck you. what did i tell you just two questions ago, huh? you don't need to bloody tell me that it's the end of the world. i knew that the moment i hit the ground and i could feel everything crumbling around me. i'm a civilian, if you really must know. i didn't think i wanted to be in the military before the bombs dropped, and i've never really been a fan of politics. i wanted to be an architect, or maybe even just a musician or something before everything changed. i didn't want to fight or destroy anything. i wanted to create, to build. as for the resistence...they killed her. they took rosie away from me, and i'll never join them, never in a million years. i'd rather die."
that sounds just great. now in one word, how would you describe yourself?"i...i don't know. i'm stubborn. yeah, i like the sound of that. stubborn. i'm going to do what i want to do the way i want to do it, and no one can stop me. once i've set my mind on something, it's almost impossible to keep me away from it or change my thought process. i don't flinch. i might be brought to my knees and i might be down for the count, but i will never, ever flinch. i guess that makes me a little resentful, because once i've decided i don't like someone, it usually stays that way until they prove themselves in some way. like you. i've already decided i don't like you, so unless you've got something to make up for being a patronizing asshole, that's not going to change."
uh-huh, any big historic events you'd like to share?"oh, you mean besides the big catastrophe in which nearly everyone lost everything? i met a girl. i was five, so it wasn't love at first sight or anything stupid like that. but we grew up together, and when we were sixteen, things changed. god, i was so in love with her...but it doesn't matter now. she's dead and part of me died with her. she was at home when the bombs dropped, and i was on my way to go see her, anyway. i was on foot, and somehow managed to take cover in an alleyway. the debris from the buildings actually protected me from the blast, but i was nearly crushed initially. i don't know how i survived and she didn't. we were supposed to be together wherever we went."
okay. last question: who's the face behind the character?is this supposed to be play-by, or roleplayer? it's not entirely clear. play-by is nicholas jonas, and roleplayer is korrigan.
