» CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character NAME: Lee Everett
Canon & MEDIUM: The Walking Dead | Video Game
Canon PULL-POINT: Post-"Starved for Help"
Character AGE: 37
Character ABILITIES: Lee does not possess any supernatual abilities, but he has some skills to be mentioned.

- Since he was formerly a professor at the University of Georgia, teaching history. It's safe to say that Lee is well educated in this regard.
- He is creative at using resources around him even when it seems like there's nothing useful at first.
- Additionally, Lee is usually fairly charismatic, and this no doubt stems from his background as a teacher. Public speaking and approaching people is nothing new for him.
- Zombie killin' skills. Lee is a good shot and has learned to make use of things around him as weapons.
- Being one cool guardian/adoptive father to little kids.

Character HISTORY: BEWARE OF SPOILERS.

I am utilizing the following big decisions for Lee's background, as it can change depending on the player's options:

For "A New Day":
- Lee looked for help during daylight, coming across Shawn and his friend Chet.
- He was honest with Shawn and Hershel about who he is.
- Lee chose to save Duck before Shawn.
- Sided with Kenny during the fight in the pharmacy.
- Refused to give Irene the gun.
- Consistently gave Clementine hopeful answers.
- Chose to save Carley.

For "Starved for Help":
- Tried to stay neutral during Lilly and Kenny's argument.
- Fed the following people: Clementine, Duck, Mark, and Larry.
- Chopped off David's leg in the attempt to save him.
- Did not shoot Jolene.
- Stopped Clementine from eating dinner.
- Tried to save Larry.
- Spared both Danny and Andy.
- Did not take the supplies.

Character PERSONALITY:

Despite all of the circumstances in Lee's life, he consistently attempts to remain a hopeful, idealistic individual. This doesn't necessarily mean that Lee is naive; it is his perspective that what with what's going on in the world he's from, it is the most important then to not lose hope and look forward to the day when things are a little safer and a little brighter. It is likely that Lee tries have this outlook because otherwise, should he become darker in terms of who he is and focus on all of the terrible things happening around him, it will only destroy him and the few he has left in his life. There are many in his world that have already given up or have gone crazy, and that is a path that Lee intends to avoid as much as possible.

Lee tries very hard to give people the benefit of the doubt, which has some mixed experiences. Though he knows not all people in the world are kind, regardless of that Lee tries to help others anyway when needed. Even when others hate him or are angry at him, Lee rarely will take the emotion personally; the important factor is that he attempts to do what he can for others when they need it. By this indication, it can be said that Lee is actually quite selfless and brave, leaping to action thoughtlessly when it comes down to protecting others. He definitely is not spineless in this regard, and even when confronted by others he will defend himself.

Despite his efforts to bear a more optimistic view onto the world and the people in it, Lee is very aware of the reality of things. Silently, he still suffers the loss of his family in various ways. To begin with, Lee still regrets what happened with his wife and killing the man she cheated on him with. In extension of that, his parents were killed during the outbreak of the walkers, and his own brother became one of them, which forced Lee to kill his infected brother. Although Lee doesn't express his loss out of protecting himself and his identity, he still silently mourns his dead family, pulling himself along in the world and trying to live in it.

One of the most important factors about Lee is his relationships with others, as that's one of the key elements of The Walking Dead game. On the very top of this list is Clementine, a little girl that Lee came upon purely by chance. As soon as the two met, they bonded and began to take care of each other. Although Lee has no children of his own, he seems to adapt to the idea of being her guardian very quickly. Lee is incredibly fond of Clementine, and he is also extremely protective of her. He will go beyond his own limits to keep her safe. She is literally the one person that brings him hope, and although they aren't related Lee does consider Clementine family. There are few things that he would not do for her. It's safe to say that in turn, Lee is soft on children in general, but Clementine specifically has a special place in his heart.


» EXSILIUM INFORMATION
Chosen WEAPON: Lee will come arriving with his fire axe. It'll be pretty normal, but it's effectiveness will be in proportion to his relationships with people around him and his need to protect them.

For example, should Lee have a very bad relationship with someone and he is trying to save/protect them, his weapon will be dull and not very effective. On the other hand, if Lee has a fantastic relationship with a different person and he is trying to protect them, his axe will be incredibly sharp and powerful, allowing him to cut through nearly anything.

However, if Lee is on his own and is merely defending himself out of survival, the axe will be very normal. Should he be thinking of someone important to him in terms of protecting himself (ex: Clementine), the axe will be a little bit stronger.

Character INVENTORY:
- A torn photo of his family.
- A camera.
- Four AA batteries.
- HIS CLOTHES.

» SAMPLES
First PERSON:
[AUDIO]

All right, really. What the fuck is this and where the hell am I really? One moment I'm in Macon, now I'm-- fuck if I know where!

And where the hell is Clementine? If you think you can keep me from her, you have another thing coming.

Third PERSON:

Adjusting to his new life has been a mix of matters. On one hand, he has a lot more benefits now; he's showered. He's fed. He has warmer shelter. All the basic necessities in life that he's missed for the last three months. Here, he's a free man, and he can live almost like a normal person instead of huddled up in a motel, scraping for what he can, and barely living.

He's hating every minute of it.

Every day, all he can think about is those he left behind. Most of all, his mind goes to Clementine. He's certain that everyone's looking after her, but he can't stop thinking about her and worrying about her. Granted, he's concerned for Lilly, Kenny, and the others as well, but his number one priority is Clementine.

He sits quietly on his bed, dumping the contents of his bag, what he's gotten recently. Markers, crayons, some paper -- basic essentials, just in case she turns up.

Apples. She loves apples.

Lee sighs and rubs his forehead. Dwelling won't help him, but she literally is all he has.

What he has here isn't much.

The basic human necessities can't do anything to comfort him. He'd give them up if he could look after her again.

» ADDITIONAL NOTES
It is worth noting that if Lee Everett will die, he will be reanimated into becoming a walker unless he's shot in the head.
