(His hair is not as wavy, and just a tad longer.)
He's wearing a shirt like the one in the photo, but much older and dirtier looking. He's wearing torn and faded jeans and black running shoes. He has a black windbreaker which he normally wears but sometimes has tied around his waist. He has a small green pack that fits snugly between his shoulder blades filled with a few meager supplies. He wears a sheath on his left side for his swords, and a holster for his pistol on the left side of his chest.
Personality: Jem is kind of a loner, not having grown up having many friends. He's shy and would much rather go out of his way to avoid trouble, no matter what it cost him. However when push comes to shove he can be very brave and cunning and will protect those around him with all he's got especially his dog Rogue. He is also very loyal but it takes a while to gain his trust.
Mutation: Jem is able to blend into his surroundings like a chameleon for up to thirty minutes.
Weapons:
(twin short swords). He also has a small pistol.
History: Jem Voss grew up in a good-sized house in New Mexico. His parents were middle class. He never wanted for the things he needed and he was happy. He was an only child, but when he was 13 his parents got him a German Shepard that he would love for the rest of his life, which he named Rogue. He and Rogue did everything together. When he was 15 his mother died suddenly in a car accident. He and his father were never really the same after that. Once day when he was 18 he was out walking with Rogue when he was attacked. His attackers had wanted to take Rogue from him and so he fought back. He was terribly beaten and awoke in the hospital were he stayed for several days. When he woke up he saw that there was a young man he didn't recognize by his bedside. The man's name was Scott. He had happened upon Jem and his attackers and had rescued him and Rogue. He was an expert swordsman and, as soon as he was well enough, offered to show Jem some tricks to defend himself and fight, as long as he promised to never pull a blade on someone unarmed. Jem accepted and by the time the end of the world came he had mastered his twin short swords and he and Scott were the closest of friends. Now Jem is trying to find his best friend, who he hopes is still alive somewhere.
Other: Rogue is a female, about 10 years old but very healthy and spry. She's very protective of Jem and will do almost anything to keep him safe, just like he would do for her.

Name: Madeline Grey (her close friends call her Maddy)
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Looks:
(Her hair is a little longer, almost to her butt and curly, almost in ringlets and not as pale a blonde, more golden.)
She's dressed in an old and faded jean jacket over a torn and dirtied red blouse. She's also wearing tan cargo pants and work boots. She carries a black hiking backpack slung over one shoulder, a canteen, and has her guns holstered on her hips. She has knives hidden in her boots and strapped on the inside of her wrists. She will occasionally wear her hair up in a high ponytail.
Personality: Madeline is very confident in herself and is very determined to survive, especially because of the things she went through already. She's tough and tries to get not too attached to people since anything can happen in a the world as it is, though she does like to have some company if only so that she doesn't have to suffer through endless silence. She's outgoing and likes to be sarcastic and a little snarky at times. She can be difficult to get along with but she means well in the end.
Weapons: twin handguns, hidden knives.
History: Madeline Grey was born into a wealthy family. She always had everything she ever wanted, and as Daddy's little girl, anything she didn't have she could have in no time at all. She grew up in a white mansion in Arizona. She and her older sister, Catherine, would lounge around the house working the servants with stupid and inane tasks they couldn't refuse. After a man broke into their house when Madeline was ten, her father became obsessed with making sure that he could keep his family safe. When Madeline was sixteen her father started to take her to self defense classes, and even hired a professional to come and show her how to shoot. To her surprise Madeline loved the feel of the gun in her hand and always felt a little thrill when she hit her practice targets. She practiced everyday from that day on and soon she became a master at shooting with dual handguns. When the end of the world came she watched her mother and her sister die before her very eyes. Her father, her hero, had mutated into a horrible writhing monster with a hunger for human flesh. She barely made it to the place where she kept her guns before he jumped on her. She finally became so terrified that she was able to fire the shot that ended his life. After that, she gathered some supplies and set out to wander the dessert.
Other:
She has a runic tattoo on her left shoulder that is visible when she takes her jean jacket off. She doesn't like to talk about it or draw attention to it, since she got it during a traumatic incident when she was 18. The incident left her very uneasy around all men, other than her deceased father.
