Name: Stein Falkes
Age: 16
Gender: male
Likes: sleeping, anything with a blade, animals, manga
Dislikes: being cold, secretly being alone
Personality: eternally the optimist, Stein at first gives off the impression of a social bug. Though he doesn't necessarily like being alone, he often finds that he acts best in situations away from the prying eyes of others. Furthermore, he finds comfort when being together with another being, but this does not necessarily mean being together with people. In fact, he often finds being in the company of humans irritating and will therefore seek company with animals. However, despite Stein's outwardly bright personality, some of this can be highly questionable at time. For example, though he appears to be very honest and trustworthy, he openly declares his appreciation for anything that contains blades such as swords, daggers, razors and even scissors. However, contrary to the weariness that some can often regard him with, he is a peace-loving individual and would hardly harm a fly without solid reasonings. He possesses many short-term friends, but those who can achieve his trust and loyalty are those he will stand by no matter the adversities. Stein possesses three such life-long friends, all which are unfortunately dead, leaving him to be unwilling to trust as easily. Despite his optimism, he does possess an inner pessimist which grows stronger for every loss he makes. He fears his inner pessimism and it is for this reason that he desires the company of any other living being in order to quench it. However, despite his efforts, his dark side grows stronger every day and he is desperately searches for a comfort that can impede it.
Bio: Germany was no longer a safe place for humans and though this was the same for every other country across the globe, their status was particularly infected and the public hurriedly tried to escape to other countries. As a German descendent and Stein came to Japan with his family three years ago. However, upon arrival, the plane's passengers were assaulted by a group of undead and the surviving numbers were unknown. During the fray, Stein had been separated from his parents and twin sister. Not knowing whether or not the rest of his family survived that day, he is constantly searching for them in hope of finding them. Now, he is constantly moving from place to place, never stopping for too long. Though for the past three years he hasn't found any proof that anyone for his family is alive, he hasn't any proof that they're dead either and he operates under this sole desire to find proof of their status.
One year ago, he met Hotaru. At the time, Hotaru had only been a small cat and had struggled to evade the onslaught of undead. When she had met Stein, she had been severely injured whilst trying to escape from the undead and Stein had taken her in, nursing her back to health. However, even after she was fully healed, she had taken an liking to Stein and now follows him everywhere. Now to present day, it turns out Hotaru isn't just simply a cat and was actually a panther. How a panther came to find its way into Japan is unknown, but it is highly likely that she escaped from a zoo as it seems implausible that she was raised in the wild.
