As you might know, I was writing This Is War, but I've given up, because it was just too hard to put the idea into words and capture the feeling of the biggest war ever.

So I'm writing this now! It's similar to Ashes Of America by @Wolfy and based of Zoo as well. I'm mainly smashing together sorta two forum stories: Ashes of America ( @Wolfy ) and The Missing ( @HelloColdWorld ).
It's an academy for training kids between 15 and 20 that are immune to a virus that's taken over the outside world. They are training to stop it.

I just wanted to write something that people's characters could be introduced easier, and this was the only way I could, so, don't get mad at me! The virus is called Iris btw, forgot to mention.

Nox rarely shows emotion unless it's anger due problems over their life, they keep to themselves, being rude to people they don't trust. They rejects people from their lives before they get rejected themselves, this makes it hard for people to make friends with them. Though they appear quiet and unknowing, but Nox is highly intelligent, smart and strategic. They can read people easily, it is apart of their trusting faze, they will think of how the person will benefit their survival and how will they will not. Nox is loyal, they would rather die then have their friends die. They will take charge if it means saving everyone else but themselves, using strategic knowledge than bruit force to solve problems.
Backstory:

Spoiler: Backstory

Nox was born in a house full of other people, their mum was not a good mother, she had three other children to look after as well as Nox, none of the other three were her own. Nox grew up in a singular room, got fed by their mum quickly and then she would leave, Nox hardly crying as a baby. When they turned 5 they broke the doorhandle and wondered around the house, only to find drunk men doing disgusting things, they aimed to leave unnoticed but they were by the group leader. An hour later Nox's mum came in to find her own child sitting on the floor, looking broken and bruised, she did nothing but walk off to the other children. Nox didn't go to school for the first two years of English schooling but went there with the Year 3s at 7 and was bullied for the bruises and cuts on their arms, how they hardly talked or how they knew every answer on the board. They took library books and took them home to read and read, also to ignore the yelling downstairs. Years later Nox was top of their classes at age 13 and had discovered they were agender but kept it to themselves. Instead of going home Nox went to the gym, training their body to be strong and fit. Getting home at 10pm when the gym closed half an hour earlier to experience a lot of abuse. This happened for years, Nox growing more broken emotionally and angry but smarter and stronger. By the age of 16 their newest step-dad who also was a drunk said something rude, Nox replying with a snarky comment, only to have a fist swung at them, they dodged it easily. But the other men were in their way, they were in a circle for ten minutes before being strapped down onto a chair with a scolds bridle with the pointiest part in their mouth. This was the first time they screamed as their mouth was cut open on the inside, they managed to find a way to undo their right hand from the chair's arm rest, their hand covered into blood from trying to escape, they pulled the other ropes of the chairs and stood up, they were covered in blood. Wincing as they stepped but then ignoring the pain, they tried to get the scold bridle off only to get a lot of pain instead. Nox had to get the key from their step dad downstairs, easily enough most of the men were passed out drunk as Nox tip-toed over their bodies quietly, them being flexible they managed to get to their stepdad. They grabbed onto the keys and pulled them off the chain quickly and ran for it, only to be stopped by three teens, the children their mother raised instead of them. Nox told them move but they only advanced to attack, it was thee v one and Nox still won, but barely. Injured, broken, hungry and on the verge of clasping Nox had to get to the military base before sundown. They almost made it when an alarm hit the streets and shops, people in cars seemed to spin around to get back home or get to safety, as a bunch people who acted strange came racing towards the people from the woods. Nox grabbed a metal pipe and hit one of the people, the person fell to the floor and twitched before coming back up with a dent in the head. Nox dropped the pole and ran for the military base, their bruised body telling them stop fighting and rest. They stopped in front of the military base, the main gate was shut, it had barb wire at the top. With nothing else to do Nox climbed the fence, cutting their hands and legs even more when touching the barb wire, they fell from the top of the gate and landed on the floor.
They woke up in an hospital type bed and stayed in the infirmary for two weeks, after discharged they trained and trained in combat and agility for four years. Trying to fight the plague Iris.

[APerson]

Name: Lambert "Lamb"
Age (15-20): 17
Surname: Omysha
Code (4 digits): 0001
Personality (detailed): He is often found observing people. When he is unsure of someone he will watch them for a bit before encountering them. He's very caring and forgiving, Lamb is as sweet as honey and opens his heart up to all people, no matter their past or their personality. though he refuses to defend himself or fight back when someone insults / hurts him he won't hesitate to interfere when a friend or companion is being hurt or insulted. He is normally labeled as not a threat because of his weak and feminine/cute appearance, which give him the upper hand in fights because the enemy won't expect much from him. He's rather mysterious and secretive, and he doesn't stay standing still for long. He's almost always moving, whether it's swinging from tree to tree, climbing walls, or just climbing obstacles. he doesn't get mad easily but if you hurt someone he cares about he'll get hostile without even realizing that he's about to hurt somebody. He's artsy and loves drawing, he's also observant and scans his surroundings during situations to figure out the best course of action. In situations when he needs to focus, he calms his mind and focuses on thinking about what he needs to do and how to do it successfully. He's quite intelligent and has a sharp eye, it's very hard to slip something past him unless he's being distracted by a more important matter. He is often mentally abusing himself, saying that he is too ugly to be looked at, or that he's a disgrace to men because he's girly, or saying he can't do anything right. He has a very strong case of Scopophobia, the fear of being looked at. When being stared at, his expression will switch instantly to a terrified face. He shuts down and his mind fills with the nickname 'Black Sheep' when stared at, this nickname will cause him to start crying and try to block his face by curling into a ball and sitting on the ground shivering, normally shouting something along the lines of 'Please stop looking at me... It hurts.. It stings! ' or he just shouts 'Black Sheep!' over and over till they look away. After this situation happens, he doesn't hesitate to much to explain what his siblings did and the nickname they gave him, he doesn't feel like it's something to hide but he also doesn't like telling the full story. He will only mention how they were mean to him, the stage incident, and how Scopophobia works, he doesn't mentions his parents death, how they used to physically hurt him as well, or that his siblings are still alive.
Backstory: Lambert was born in a family of 5 children. His mother and father raised them, but while his other siblings were popular for looking innocent and adorable, he was always hiding behind his parents. He had 2 brothers and 2 sisters, Their names were Alexander and Alec {Twins}, Sahara, and Nora. His siblings were all mean to him, they often called him names when others weren't around. They gave him the nickname "Black Sheep" as an insult to how he didn't fit in. Sometimes at school his siblings would give him bruises and cuts. When they were around others, they acted innocent and often lied that Lambert was being mean to them in order to get him in trouble. When he was 10 {Alec and Alex were 14, Sahara was 12 and Nora was 11} his siblings convinced his parents to let them put on a play in front of the town. Lambert was actually excited for the play, and his siblings gave him the lead role. However, when the time came and Lambert went on stage, his siblings prepared a rope for him to trip over, then when he was down they dropped a bucket of water on him, and the bucket hit his head. The whole town laughed at him, and his siblings were offstage so he'd be the only one stared at. Lambert was frozen with fear in this moment and tears ran down his face like a river, his face showed pure terror. This gave Lambert the fear of being looked at, and by the age of 15 Lambert's parents died in a car crash, leaving him by himself. He got a job from a nice old lady who took him in till he was old enough to fend for himself in the world. However, ever since all the horrible things his siblings did to him, he's been mentally abusing himself, and sometimes he claws at his skin if looked at by multiple people at once.
Strengths and Weaknesses: S: His best strength is agility, he is unbelievably agile and swift. Other than that, a few others are Darkness, Silence, and places with a lot of obstacles such as trees for him to climb / maneuver around. W: Being stared at is his worst weakness, though it doesn't physically affect him it hurts him mentally like a knife stabbing him.
Picture and/or description: He has incredibly fluffy and curly white hair, and he has pale skin. He has freckles all over his cheeks and nose. He is always seen wearing a black mask with bold white 'MUTE' on it, and he has a emerald green eye and a bright light yellow eye. He is almost always wearing dark colors to help him blend into the darkness so he isn't noticed, he mainly wears black hoodies, black jeans, and a half green and half yellow snowflake hair pin in his hair. He tries his best to blend into the background, but because of his rare eyes and unusual hair he is normally seen anyways. He's short, at 4'5.


P.S: The best way to describe how he feels when being stared at is horror. When stared at by multiple people at once, his mind won't work correctly and he'll see illusions of his siblings faces laughing at him over the faces of the people actually staring at him. When stared at by multiple people at once, he will often cry and shiver, and claw into his skin. This sentence is often said in these situations, 'Leave me alone... STOP IT PLEASE! It burns.. ' He tries his best to hide himself in the background so he isn't noticed, but during situations where he's meant to be introduced, for example as a new student during introduction day, he'll introduce himself, halfway through he notices eyes looking at him and his Scopophobia will kick in badly, which can often lead to quite the scene.

[APerson]

Lambert's sibling, the only that survived.

Name: Alexander "Alex"
Age (15-20): 21
Surname: Omysha
Code (4 digits): 5855
Personality (detailed): He considers himself better than others. He enjoys lowering other's self-confidence, often toying with people mentally rather than physically. He's not a team player, and wouldn't hesitate to mess up his teammate if it meant he'd be seen as the skilled one. He's the type of person that considers all other people pathetic compared to him, and would sacrifice his own parents for himself. He's very hostile and easily angered, he is often seen with an intimidating expression and is never seen smiling. He is always rude to others, whether their enemy, companions, or family. He's not intelligent, leaping into danger without a second thought. When he is at his limit, he will burst in anger and most likely hurt someone without any regret. He loves to mentally torture others, or cause them pain through words. When he finds someone's weaknesses {Like Lambert's Scopophobia} he'll use it to torture the person more.
Backstory: Check Lambert's backstory. He used to have a twin named Alec, who was equally horrible. While Alex tortured people mentally, Alec used to physically hurt people. However, Alec didn't survive and Alex was left alone, this only made him more hostile to others.
Strengths and Weaknesses: S: He's strong, however he isn't very smart and isn't observant, he'll rush in without taking a second to think about the consequences. Mentally torturing others. With Lambert he would often call him 'Black Sheep' during things like races so he'd loose focus. W: Others pointing out his flaws or other people standing up to him.
Picture and/or description: He has brown hair, with dark purple tips. His hair goes down to his lower-neck, his hair is spikey. Both his eyes are light blue, and he is often wearing something sleeveless to show off his muscles, he normally wears a white tank top with 'Losers' written in red, the text is dripping to look somewhat like a blood theme. He wears black jeans with rips, and red shoes with this. He has a piercing on his nose and tongue. He has 2 silver earrings on his nose, 1 on his tongue, and 4 silver hoops on each ear. He also has blood-dripping tattoos going down his arms, and he has a tattoo on his neck that spells out 'Don't mess with me'.His skin is tan, and he is tall at 6'7.


During this story, he can be seen as the hostile bully figure, though mainly toward Lambert, he could also be seen trying to mess up his teammates as well, or trying to lower their confidence.


P.S: He doesn't care much if the virus kills people, and he often states that he doesn't care if the virus killed people, his words would be something along the lines of 'Why would I care if people die? I'm the only person worth living on this planet anyways'.
