Age: 18
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual

Ability: Empathy

Appearance:

The young boy stands about five-foot seven, with shortish to medium length black hair that in particular light gleams like an oil-spill. He is fairly pale in complexion because before the disaster he never left his house, where as his mother called him a "pale-faced geek". Trent's eyes have changed considerably, and correspond with how he is either feeling or simply between two colors (which is much more common in his case), the colors are; blue and red. Sometimes because of the state his body changed his eyes appear to have heterochromia from time to time, but they don't always stay that way. However, in most cases when his eyes are blue they mean he is in a relaxed or normal state for him while if they go red he is either mad or simply going to have/or already is in a crazy mood swing. On another note, his eyes have a very scary habit of glowing from the radiation that he was exposed to that night.

One thing that many people might notice when he is out in the world of the living he has an old gas mask on, but instead of covering up his whole face it only covers from his mouth to the left side of his face. And he has built in a light into that one eye socket of the mask so that he can see in the dark, it can change between the modes of a flashlight or nightvision. The other thing that is common for people to see on him are bandages, but they aren't always covering wounds. Instead they are like a fashion statement for him. Though, on his left hand he has a biohazard tattoo that he usually keeps hidden under those bandages for some reason. However, he may appear to be normal his biological state has been quite compromised and if he doesn't have the mask on he has been prone to either coughing up blood or crying it, sometimes the blood he leaks looks a lot like oil.

His clothing style always consists of this color scheme; black and red. He wears the red over the black when he is in public because it shows where he's at and that he isn't a sick person. But when he dares to go out into places that aren't populated by other non-infected people he wears a lot of black so that he can hide easier. His jeans are badly ripped at the knees, but it's very common in this time now, and they are quite baggy but he keeps them up with a tight belt around his hips so that they don't fall should he need to run. Trent wears a lot of sneakers, but one pair he is quite fond of are his old brown and white sole converse, but other times he will wear a pair of hiking boots or tennis shoes depending on where he's at.

Personality:

This is where he's known to be a very confusing individual, because he rarely ever speaks to people. A lot of the time he has been considered a mute because of his supposed inability to talk, but he can. He just chooses not to around some people. When Trent talks, however, he is either very softly spoken or rather he talks to fast sometimes. Either way he is moderately kind, in some cases, but in others he can be completely the opposite and want to hurt others.

He basically became psychotic when the war destroyed most of the world, and he was left alive to fend for himself and face the horrors outside his home. The boy had never been scarred before, but now he can very easily be scarred for life by the most horrible things that he is confronted with. Trent is so very used to being ignored, or feared rather, by people every day that he keeps to himself and hides away in the streets or finds a place to stay only to be kicked out not soon after. But he has learned to cope with the changes of the world, because he has been wanting to find a way to change himself for the better sometime in the future.

When it comes to his emotions, however, he can't use them really well in some ways. But in others his emotion gets the better of him. It makes him very artistic. Anyway an example for particular emotions that get the best of him are anger, or craze, for instance. Trent basically goes crazy, and tries to kill people with or without control of his own body (sometimes he has been known to black out and his body does things on its own). He does believe he may have seperate personalities that take over when his emotions get the better of him, because he always does things that he sometimes doesn't even recall doing but in the back of his mind he knows he had to have done something like that.

He has been known to love animals, and sometimes the ones that are infected don't even matter to him until they attempt to attack him. Because he may be crazy, but animals that are kind to him he sees as a friend and not a threat, and he wants to keep one even if he knows they will probably turn on him in the future should they get infected by the disease. Trent is often times seen with a stray cat following him around, but not always, because people scare them away and he gets pissed at them for either hurting or scaring the animal. And when he does the animal, or animals, don't want to come back to him.

History:

Trent grew up in a small town, and was pretty much known as the town nerd or hermit, but his family was pretty much the same in all respect. They never left the house more than a few times a month to get groceries or go to work (his father was out a lot more than his mother), and he rarely ever left because he did school from home since his mother home-schooled him. He wasn't allowed to go outside because of his severe allergies, which also developed asthma if he did anything too crazy like he had when he was a lot younger. He did all that his mother told him, and even regarded his fathers wishes to stay indoors and basically never have any friends.

Trent grew up with a cat, but even through his allergies he still loved the animal, it was his only friend aside from all the people he had met online and talked to. He hardly let the cat out of his sight in the house, but his mother got extremely mad when he hid the cat from them and she threw it outside so that it wouldn't kill him. It was then when he got even more depressed, and his personality started to change considerably. Though he attempted very hard not to act upon it in fear of doing something he didn't want to do, and he started locking himself inside his bedroom at that time.

He never knew what happened to everyone outside when the bombs went off, he had been so used to earthquakes that when they went off he didn't even care about it. Until all his power went out. His bedroom was in the basement of his house which had a very thick iron door. Trent's anger got the best of him and he ran outside his door only to be greeted with a shockwave of some kind (the radiation explosion), and passed out almost instantly when he was exposed to that kind of air. The young man woke up a few hours afterwards, but when he did it was when he was scared horrifically by the state of his parents.

His mother didn't survive the explosion, but his father did and he became something horrifying and it was feasting on his mother's corpse. It was human in bi-pedal like, but he could see parts of his father's suit on the creature which looked an awful lot like a bear. Trent was about to puke, but he fumbled through his pockets for his inhaler for his asthma and to no prevail to find it in time. And the last thing he was able to hear were yelling, and shots being fired off at something, but he blacked out before he could tell what was going on.

When he woke up again, surely thinking he had to be dead, he had been strapped to a bed across from his father in the same room. But he struggled profusely in vain to get out of the bed and the binding, but his father woke insanely fast from hearing his movements. And got up from the bed to his sons side and worriedly unbind him from it, but Trent didn't stay there he jumped off the bed and towards the door of the white washed room they were in yelling and screaming for help. His father tried to calm him down, but isntead his anger was getting the better of him when he started to change into that monster again.

Trent looked around the room for a way out, his eyes finding a camera at the top left corner of the room and finding plenty of medical supplies on one of the sliding tables. He quickly grabbed one of the bone saws, and prepared to guard himself with wide eyed fear. The boy didn't hesitate, his anger over how his father made him never go outside and see the world engulfed him, and taking the chance while he was in mid-change he ran at the beast. And thrust the bone saw into his father's gut, knocking him down with a strange roaring scream that was between human and animal.

He stabbed his father over, and over, again. But during this people were watching him, and he let go of the saw to fall back on his ass and stare at the corpse of his father who didn't even look human anymore. He started laughing, and by laughing, it was a mad and scared laugh. At this point he told himself he wasn't going to go outside, unless he really had to or was told to, because he didn't want to face things like that again.

A man came into his room, and set a hand on his shoulder, "You'll be fine my boy. We will protect you, and make you better. I'm sorry I didn't come in sooner to help you from this monstrosity."

Trent shook instensely, but he didn't speak, instead he got to his knees and grabbed the man in the white coat's waist hoping to stay here and be safe along with getting better.
