JANE
Jane hugged her knees in the corner of the old mini-mart that she and Jason were using as shelter now. It was empty, the windows were broken and everything was gone. A couple days ago this would've been the worst place to be, but now that it was fully raided it was probably the safest place. Practically everything was gone, the back rooms had been raided anything useful and even the useless stuff had been snatched from the shelves. There wasn't even toilet paper in the bathrooms!
They'd found a can of Spam under a shelving unit and a crushed bag of Funions by the cash register. Also there'd been some useless weird toy things that were broken also. Glass was all over the floor, the cash register was tipper and broken. There was no money in it any more. It was funny if you thought about it. Money had from practically the most important thing to get something to useless chunks of metal and wads of paper in just days...hours really.
Jane wasn't thinking about that right now though. She was having one of her increasingly common panic attacks. She bit her nails and rocked in the corner. She always felt angry and stupid after these episodes. She didn't know why she had them, she just always had. Random things seemed to trigger them. She wasn't sure if there were triggers or if her brain and body just decided 'Screw it! I'm gonna freak out today! Yeah that'll be fun...'.
Jane struggled to breath trying to calm down, trying to make herself stop panicking before Jason got back. He would worry more if he knew how frequently her attacks were happening.
She was hiding in the backroom with the few supplies they had. Mainly the spam, Jason's knife, the Funions, some cigarettes and beer that Jane had taken from her house, and a lighter. There was also Jason's bag, he had some stuff he hadn't shown here. Jane had a small backpack that had some personal stuff for her in it too.
CARVER
Carver leaned back in the old recliner. They were in the lounge room or what used to be a community center. They'd managed to gather a good amount of supplies just because their group was a good size and was made up of mostly strong men, there were a couple women though. Carver was the second youngest. The youngest was 14 year old Dusty. The boy was the youngest cousin of Tyson one of the head members of the group. He was a strong boy and a good thief.
Carver lay back tiredly. He'd been on gathering patrols all day collecting good water and what he could find. He got up and lit the few candles in the room with a match. was off duty, but still had to keep up their sanctuary. He lay back on the recliner and pulled the thin wooly blanket over himself. He needed to catch some Zzzs.
He was exhausted, but it was still hard to sleep. Since the blackout everything had changed. You couldn't even fully trust your group. Everyone was struggling. At least in the country there was food and water they could get at. In the city was whatever you found.
Early tomorrow morning Carter and some other were going to be sent to attempt to fish while others would be sent to the outskirts of the city to hunt. It would be dangerous. If you were seen with food or getting food there was a high probability that you would be attacked. This was why Carter wanted to get plenty of sleep so he would have energy tomorrow morning.

An EMP struck the USA. We in the city of New Orleans were stuck first as far as we know. All electricity is out, the hospitals are broken, the cars won't run except for a few really old clunkers. The nursing homes are depressing, no one can be there to take care of the patients anymore. Those with mental problems roam free. Same with the institutions and the prisons. The boats won't run either.
We were hit 10 days ago. Ironically on our country's birthday. There was been no communication with the outside world since then. The riots are getting more and more violent.
Some have tried to escape out to see with sailing vessels. We haven't heard from those people. Some fled to the country and swamps in hopes of finding better living conditions. So far no help has come. The fleers have stolen have of the old cars that actually worked.
Many government officials fled too after yesterday when the riots were the worse. Those that are left are now trying to figure out how they will live now.
We don't know when the power will come back on or if it will. But we are American...We will live, we will survive, we will thrive.
The above transcript is a diary entry found decades later in the wreckage of an old school, it was a middle school and the writing looks like that of a 11-13 year old.
The writer of the diary is unknown, the rest of the entry was ruined by falling rubble and a lot of the small book was burned. It is unknown if the writer survived the Independence Day Black Out.
America is still rebuilding itself, but that is beside the point.
Our story picks up the same day of the above entry. A teenager who became an adult the same day of the blackout must learn to survive in this new world while not losing herself.{/slide}

Nickname(s):
N/A

16
Gender:
Male
Looks:
Jason has short cut jet-black hair that often almost had a blue tint to it. He has dark brown eyes with a black ring around the iris. He had a slightly muscular build from daily runs and routines, his 5'6'' frame coming from his father's American bloodline and his thick jaw and broad muscles more from his mother's Russian bloodline. He weighs around 140 pounds and though not always the fastest, can carry a good amount of weight.
Wears: Jason typically sticks to grey or navy cargo shorts and a polo t-shirt, but sometimes he'll wear jeans and a hoodie of it's cold. He wears leather combat boots that were his grand father's on his mother's side when he's in jeans, and simple black Nike's when he is in shorts. He had a locket with a picture of his sister and his mom.
Personality:
Though very friendly, Jason sits about in the middle between an introvert and an extrovert. He tends to keep his emotions and thoughts to himself, but he likes making new friends and meeting new people. He is protective of those he cares for, but he tends to stray off the safe path himself.
Short Bio:
Jason was born in America and spent the first six years of his life with his father, who worked as a journalist. Jason loved to play catch on the weekends, as his father worked from home. When he turned 6, Jason went to Russia with his mom to see their side of the family. He stayed for about a year, learning a lot about his heritage and his mom, but missing home. Jason moved back to America with his father and mother, moving next door to three children. He almost instantly became friends with the oldest brother, but his twin sister didn't seem to take much of a liking to him. They hung out a lot and Jason slowly found out that their father was actually a very abusive man, despite how nice he seemed. After a bit, they had a younger sister and Jason didn't get to see his friend Kyran as much, but was surprised when Kyran suddenly stopped coming over. The day he went to check, he found their father beating Lily and that was when he learned Kyran was sick and dying. The news devastated him and he went to see his friend in the hospital. He promised to take care of his sisters... And he upheld this promise as well as he could intil the night Lily disappeared. Jason was panicked, taking close attention and care to Jane afterwards, wanting her to know he was always there. His mother moved back to Russia with his younger sister of about a year named Marrionette. He stayed with his father and a year later the EMP hit. His father died of disease when they couldn't find a doctor and he left his house to help Jane.

Name:
Liliane Kanya MacGrath
Nickname(s):
Lily
Age:
18
Gender:
Female
Looks:
Lily stand 5' 6'' and 115 pounds. She is thin and fairly fast for the seeming lack of muscle on her body. She had dirty blonde hair that is cut fairly short, almost a layered bob cut. She has startling cat-green eyes with little blue and gold flecks. Her skin is an olive tan in the summer, getting just a little lighter in the winter. Her looks tend to follow more her father's gene pool, accented by her naturally straight hair and heart-shaped face.
Wears:
Typically Lily wears black jeans with rips around the knees and a black tank top under a sky blue plaid flannel. She prefers tennis shoes, more specifically asics. She constantly has a pair of aviator sunglasses, as the sunlight gives her a headache because she's photo-sensitive.
Personality:
Shy, introvert, but she hides this behind a mirage of toughness and a pretend cold heart. She craves being loved and protected, but tends to hide her true nature around most people for fear of being hurt. She is overly protective of the few she holds close, but can be distant when she feels emotional, as she feels uncomfortable sharing her emotions with anyone, especially family.
Short Bio:
When Lily was little, her grandfather died. This caused her mother, already physically disabled, to become mentally unstable. Because of this, the handling of family affairs fell to her father. Her father was unable to handle the pressure and took it out on his kids, starting with the two oldest, Lily and her twin brother, Kyran. Kyran tended to take most of the beatings, as he always tried to protect Lily and got himself on their father's bad side. This went on for about 3 years when Kyran got really sick. Things started to simmer down as Lily and Kyran spent more time with a new neighbor next door. His name was Jason and he was best friends with Kyran. With the twins being gone more often, their parents decided to have another child. The first four years were fairly solid. Their father tried to take care of Jane, the younger sister, and when he got abusive, Kyran would take Lily and Jane to Jason's house to hang out and protect them. Then, Kyran got extremely sick. The doctors couldn't diagnose him and within three months of his 11th birthday, Kyran passed away. Lily was thrown into a deep bout of depression by the passing of her twin brother, and Jason was no consolation. He came over to help with Jane and try to resume Kyran's job of protecting them from their abusive father, but he just wasn't around enough. This abuse and depression went on for several years before, on her 17th birthday, Lily ran away. She left early in the morning, leaving Jason a note to care for Jane, and heading north. She started her 'new life' in a new state and a new town under the name 'Lily Siel' and lived there for about a year, rebuilding her mental state and actually enjoying life.

It's slightly spiky especially is she doesn't comb or wash it. It generally looks a little greasy from lack of washing.

JANE
Jane hugged her knees in the corner of the old mini-mart that she and Jason were using as shelter now. It was empty, the windows were broken and everything was gone. A couple days ago this would've been the worst place to be, but now that it was fully raided it was probably the safest place. Practically everything was gone, the back rooms had been raided anything useful and even the useless stuff had been snatched from the shelves. There wasn't even toilet paper in the bathrooms!
They'd found a can of Spam under a shelving unit and a crushed bag of Funions by the cash register. Also there'd been some useless weird toy things that were broken also. Glass was all over the floor, the cash register was tipper and broken. There was no money in it any more. It was funny if you thought about it. Money had from practically the most important thing to get something to useless chunks of metal and wads of paper in just days...hours really.
Jane wasn't thinking about that right now though. She was having one of her increasingly common panic attacks. She bit her nails and rocked in the corner. She always felt angry and stupid after these episodes. She didn't know why she had them, she just always had. Random things seemed to trigger them.

Jane struggled to breath trying to calm down, trying to make herself stop panicking before Jason got back. He would worry more if he knew how frequently her attacks were happening.
She was hiding in the backroom with the few supplies they had. Mainly the spam, Jason's knife, the Funions, some cigarettes and beer that Jane had taken from her house, and a lighter. There was also Jason's bag, he had some stuff he hadn't shown here. Jane had a small backpack that had some personal stuff for her in it too.

The youngest was 14 year old Dusty. The boy was the youngest cousin of Tyson one of the head members of the group. He was a strong boy and a good thief.
Carver lay back tiredly. He'd been on gathering patrols all day collecting good water and what he could find. He got up and lit the few candles in the room with a match. was off duty, but still had to keep up their sanctuary. He lay back on the recliner and pulled the thin wooly blanket over himself.

Jane has pretty severe anxiety. She's always had it, but right after her sister left she had a full on mental break down and everything got worse. She get's frequent panic attacks and struggles with trust and connecting with people.
She tends to be a loner and only has one friend. Jane is extremely loyal however if you break her trust it is almost impossible to rebuild it. Jane does have a sweeter side, she's very good at medic type stuff and can be very loving if she wants. She can feel very lonely sometimes.
All in all Jane is pretty messed up for a 12 year old.
Short Bio:
Jane had two older siblings, twins. Their father was always extremely abusive towards all the kids. Their mother had various mental and physical health issues so while she wasn't a bad mother she wasn't exactly there most of the time.
