Personality-
Mike always tried to fit in and be as normal as everyone else way back before the zombies took over the world. Mike was always the laid back teen that enjoyed being with his friends on listening to his music if he wasn't on his computer talking to about five people at once. He also loved his phone and watched his horror movies. Mike has the rep for being one of the sweetest guys at school. He gets along with everyone he comes in contact with but if anybody tried to pick on one of his friends he will be feared. Mike absolutely hated when people are picking on or bullying on other people. It just made him angry and he wouldn't stand for it. Otherwise he's nice to everyone. He always has the habit of putting others before himself. He tends to care to much for others and always tries to see the good in people and giving people second chances. He would put himself in harms way to keep innocent people safe, he's just that kind of guy.
When everyone sees Mike around in public, they see a happy go lucky guy. He's always socializing with other kids his own age and is somehow laughing half the time. Laughing is one of Mike's favorite things to do, he's also incredibly modest. He doesn't see himself as funny, or good looking, not even that nice, But he truly is. At least, that's what everyone says about him, just not behind his back because he doesn't deserve that. At home he's always taking care of his family, or helping around the house. Doing his homework when he can while listening to his ipod and staying up late talking on the phone. Mike is also an insomniac. He just can't seem to fall asleep before midnight but he hardly seems tiered the next day. He also hates waking up in the morning but does anyways.
Mike doesn't like labels. He doesn't normally care what others think of him because mostly it's not anything bad anyways. He swings both ways but nobody cares or gives him a hard time about it. He isn't one of the "populars" to be exact, but he is in his own way. He plays soccer and is in the Drama at school and that's where he's popular, but everyone seems to want to be his friend anyways. For those who are interested Mike always gives them a chance and when he likes somebody does what he can to be close to them. Mike can be incredibly romantic and sweeter than usual, if that's possible.
Paranoia is something Mike has come to learn is a big quality of his that is always somehow lingering in his mind. Because he is always over thinking everything, when it comes to his paranoia, the two things come together and Mike gets these thoughts that in the end only worry him. If somebody isn’t home when they’re suppose to be, of course Mike starts to think that something bad happened to them and they could have gotten kidnapped or in some accident. His mind is always racing ahead of him. Mike is also very curious, he can’t help but investigate the wonders around him, he likes to know what’s going on when it comes to people he cares about or the friends he often hangs out with. He utterly hates being lied to as well, he looses some respect for anyone that lies to him.

History-
Mike Lane was born into a family that was already broken. His parents weren’t even together by the time he was born and they had never even married. Michelle, his mother, was only nineteen years old when Mike was born and she was trying to make a living as a waitress. His father was sneaking around with his new girlfriend as he broke stole from gas stations and from the Home Depot. He was brought into a well adjusted family. He already had an older brother that was currently living with their father when Mike was born and he was stuck with their Mom. Their parents had issues, anytime the two were together they would fight like there was no tomorrow. Mike honestly hated living with his mother, because she never had time for him. When he was home, she just wanted to have a good time.
When Mike was only two years old, a party at his mother’s house went out of control and people were hurt. The police had to break it up. Even though Mike was not there at the time and was staying at his grandmother, he was still taken away from him mother since there was a fight at his residency. Before he knew it, the young boy was moving in with his grand parents, who were much better influences for Mike to be raised by. They had a much better job being raised by his grand parents, because it was a lot healthier to be around. As a child Mike helped out wherever he could around the house and did whatever they asked of him. He was always the good boy, he wanted to prove that he was nothing like how his parents were despite the fact he was their son. He got to see Derek on the weekends, but they always ended up going to different schools and were always two grades away.
As the years went on, Mike was doing pretty well for himself. He discovered his passion in marine biology, much like his father, and did very well in his science classes as the years went by. His mother had went away for awhile, lived in Florida, and then eventually came back because she couldn’t stand to be away from her kids. According to the court, she couldn’t live anyone with either one of her chidden, but they could both visit her. After Mike turned twelve years old, his father was involved with a robbery turned into man slaughter, and being an accessory to the crime, Dana Walker was put away. Probably for a long time. After that happened, Mike was to embarrassed to talk to him or even about him to anyone. The only people he could open up to was his family, mainly because they knew him so well. His cousins Anna, Victoria, and Bennett were close with him, and the Lane’s lived a bit farther away for his liking.
After his father was put away till further notice, his brother Derek came to live with him. He loved having his brother around, at least until it was time for him to go off to college. His grandparents didn’t know if they were going to be able to handle the fourteen year old rebellion, but in reality he was just going through a tough time. Derek went off to high school and basically did what he wanted. He got his own group of friends and took off a lot, it almost seemed like he wasn’t there most of the time. Mike had his own stuff to do, anyways. He had his friends and soon his mother. She kept a close watch on the boys since Derek was getting himself into trouble that nobody seemed to know about.
Time went on and Mike worked his hardest until he was finally off to high school. He was excited, but he was also pretty nervous. His brother was all of a sudden very protective after seeing Mike in the same position as him when he was a freshmen and made so many bad choices. He discouraged this behavior, which was fine, because he didn’t have any plans for it anyways. None of the people Mike hung out with were into any of the sort of thing. He ended up joining the swim team and was pretty good at it, especially for a freshmen. Soon he realized that he was gay, and some jock overheard this conversation with his best friend Sam and before he knew it, he was being corned. They were about to destroy him, but then Derek stepped in and saved the day. Ollie was there, too. His cousin’s half brother. He was a grade above him and also gay, but he was also out.
Things got better for him after that. His brother was known as a punk kid that was not to be messed with. So, between him and Oliver, and even Sam.. Mike was always safe. But that wasn’t good enough for him, so he started taking kick boxing for his own self defense. He continued on swimming and by the time senior year rolled around he was on varsity. He did fine with Derek and Oliver gone, although he missed both of them as they went on to have lives. He wasn’t sure if it was wrong, but Mike liked Oliver. He had no family connection to him whatsoever. But he was the half brother of his cousins. No relation to him at all. But none of the mattered after that faithful day in May. Mike decided to skip school for a family reunion on the worst possible day of his life. The day everything changed.
At the family reunion, he was with all familiar faces. He was surrounded by his father’s family, and although some gave him odd looks for being identical to his father as a teenager, his cousins had his back. Not like that lasted long since half the family in the reunion turned into flesh craving zombies and starting attacking all the living people. It was like something out of one of his video games. He was with Anna when it happened and they tried to make their way out, but it was tricky, especially since Anna got bit in the leg and they took out a good chunk from her leg and she had to help her out until they fought their way to find Derek, Victoria, Ollie, and his older cousin Bennett who were still okay and unharmed. It turns out together they were quite the zombie slayers.
To bad they couldn’t say the same for Anna since she died after they got out of the party. But then.. She came back. She leaped and bit Bennett right in the neck. Mike tried to get her away but he only got himself scratched by him.. Which made him an easy carrier for the infection. Derek killed her on the spot with the axe he recovered from the party. After seeing what happened to Anna how she was bitten and then died, they all knew it wasn’t going to be much longer till Bennett was going to come back to life. Derek did the only thing he knew he could, they waited until he did come back to life as one of the infected and then chopped his head clean off. It wasn’t long until more zombies sniffed them out and they were on the move again.
The four survivors ran away until they finally found the Staten Island Museum. Kayla, being a police officer that guarded the museum on the weekends, had the keys to get them in and that’s where they have stayed all this time. A few months have passed, and still they weren’t yet sure who was alive out there and if they were ever going to make it through this.
Anything else?- Kayla and Oliver Benton are the half - siblings of his cousins Anna and Victoria, so he's very close with them.
Sample RP-
There was nothing like being able to take off a day at school to see a bunch of family member’s that were just going to give him dirty looks for having a father that everyone thinks stole from. It was never easy for Mike or Derek when it came to Walker family events since all the distant relatives and the aunts and uncles of his father all think he stole from them. Although none of that really mattered now, because he’s been in jail for quote a long time, over ten years. He was an accessory to murder and he had a lot of time on his hands in jail. Mike didn’t talk to his father, he didn’t see his father, and in some ways he didn’t know his father. But that didn’t stop him from facing those distant relatives he always did. He still had Derek, who understood what he was going through, and of course he had Anna, Kayla, Victoria, and Ollie there to watch his back.
He walked in, dressed casually in his light blue plaid shirt and jeans. He was dressed not much nicer than his cousins or anyone else. He walked in with his brother Derek and went over to a small group where he met his cousin Anna and Victoria who had just met up with their half siblings, Kayla and Oliver. Mike walked over and hugged each of them. Kayla had just gotten off work from the station and stopped by because it was such an inconvenience to go all the way home and then back here.
As he started chatting with his relatives, he looked behind him too spot in the next room a bunch of old times were whispering and looking over at Mike. He glared and then looked over to Derek who then did the same and without a word he up and left the room to go speak with their older cousin Bennett. Mike sighed and with another glance over he became increasingly annoyed. Anna looked over at Mike and then the crowd and put two and two together. She placed a hand on her shoulder and took a step n the direction of the crowd. “Could you be anymore tackless?” She said with a loud enough voice and the group of old timers sneered and they left their sights. “Thanks, Anna.” Mike said with a smirk and Anna put her arm around him for a side-hip hug. “No problem, Mikey.. Come get some water with me..” She said and as he nodded they walked away from the group.
He didn’t know what he would do without his cousins like Anna. Although she was a college student and he rarely got to see him anymore, he still felt just as close to her as ever before.
The two cousins walked over to the long table where they had pitchers of water and other beverages, but mostly soda for the younger’s. Anna poured herself a glass of water and Mike poured himself a glass of root beer. He felt pretty excited he was getting his favorite drink at such a stressful time and then Anna gestured to follow him as they were both off and on drinking their drinks. They walked outside and out to a little cathedral that was in the middle of the back yard. They walked over and sat inside, across from each other. “So, everything been doing well for you.. And Derek?” She asked, he noticed a hint of concern in her voice.
He looked up at her and nodded with a smirk after taking another sip of his drink. “Oh yeah, everything has been fine, lately.. My swim team made it to the championship.” She said with an excitement grin and she smiled back to him just as wide. Anna was proud of her younger cousin, there was no denying that. “I’m proud of you..” She said as she nodded her head and he smiled up at her as he looked up. Mike had no idea that Anna had been communicating with Mike’s father, also her own uncle. They were brothers, and they were close. Mike looked up to say something important “You know Anna I-” But his message was soon cut short at the sound of screaming and crashing coming in from the house they were having their party from. They both got up, leaving their drinks behind, and stepped out into the cathedral, not sure what to do.
Anna started running for the house and Mike hasped and ran after her, trying to grab her as he followed. “No, Anna, it’ not safe!” He yelled and soon she learned that for herself. They jumped through the glass windows and fell right on top of her.
Mike reacted as fast as he could rand over, taking her hand, and pulling her out. But it was to late, she already had her teeth in Anna. She was biting down hard, blooding starting to run down her leg as the infected person ripped a chunk of her leg right off. Anna was freaking out and screaming so Mike pulled her toward him with all his powers. Onhe he finally got her out, there were more people running out from inside the house, the zombies instead decided to attack and start eating. His eyes were wide as he started at it briefly as the jumped all over the other living relatives around him slowly being chomped to bits. He picked up Anna and threre her arm around his neck as the two of them quickly made their way around to the front of the house where they saw Kayla, Victoria, Ollie, Derek, and Bennett fighting them off. Kayla was the only one with the gun, but that just meant she had the greatest weapon on their side… at the moment.
“Guys, she’s been hurt!” Mike yelled out as he went down to his knees as he was surrounded by familiar faces as he and Anna dropped to their knees. Although Anna went all the way down and landed on her back, she was pasty white, breathing heavily, had a looked as if she was going to die right there.
He looked around as Kayla kept shooting and Derek and Bennett where using every day objects as weapons against the infected population that was trying oh so hard to infect the rest of his family. Victoria, being the medical supervisor as she was, got down and started checking up on her. Ollie went down as well and did whatever he could to help as Mike went up. “Hey, Mike, heads up!” Derek called over to him as he threw him over a baseball bat that was autographed and he remembered being on display at the front entrance of the house. Before eh knew it one of the infected came his way and he swung with all his might, breaking the neck of the zombie instantly as it fell to the ground. They kept going until the zombies slowly started coming and then Victoria muttered the most horrifying words of all. “Guys.. She’s dead!” And that was it for them.
They all gathered around and saw it was true, she was ice cold and lifeless. They all started to tear up, but mostly they were angry. “God damn shit, here comes more!” Derek yelled as he noticed that everyone else from the party besides them and who they have killed were not infected and they had to take them out. Kayla took out most of them by shooting them in the head first and then the other guy’s beat them down without begging bitten or anything. Before they knew it, they were clean. No more infected in sight.
“Yes, we did it!” Bennett cried out and then Anna appeared behind him and sunk her teeth right into his neck. They all turned and gasped. Mike, being the closest one, ran over to fight here off. “Anna, stop!” He cried out but she only clawed at him and he fell to the ground with nothing more than a scratch on his arm deep enough to cause blood to drip slightly from his arm. Kayla listed her gun hesitantly but finally pulled the trigger and shot Anna right between the eyes. She had became one of them.. After she was bitten and then died. Now Bennett was the bitten one. He was shaking uncontrollable on the ground as Victoria with tears in her eyes, tried to hold the wound with her hand. Not like that made much of a difference.
It only took a few second for Bennett was stop.. And then turn cold.
He had a feeling he was just going to come back like the other’s, and so didn’t Kayla. She stood there before him with her gun pointed at his head and then once he woke up and shrieked, she pulled the trigger and killed him as well.. Although they all knew he was already dead… just like Anna. “Guys, we have to go, it’s not safe here. Kayla you still have keys to the Museum, right!? That’ just up the road.. Well, come on, let’s go!” He said and the group of them started to run way from the scene. It was just the five of them now, the only survivors.. That they knew of.
