angelia daigle — sixteen (teen) — fighter — female — single
flirty — rebellious — evil — athletic
Daughter of the pastor of the church that they are in, Angelia was never the perfect pastors daughter, in fact, she was far from it. Constantly getting into fights, disobeying the rules and sneaking out after curfew, she ended up being sent to military school to hopefully straighten herself out. She returns home for a break just in time for the whole world to go bananas. The poor girl has the bad luck to head home and find her mother’s dead body, and a note from her father, hastily written and saying to meet him at the church. Well. . . she’s here now, and he’s not. She pretends like she doesn’t care, but in reality, she’s terrified about what might have happened to her father. Maybe that’s the real reason she keeps disobeying everyone and leaving the churchyard.

colette isbell — forty-two (adult) — cook — female — single
neat — natural cook — frugal — nurturing — friendly
Colette is a long time regular of the church, always cooking at all events and taking care of the little ones, too. She’s never had any little ones of her own because she’s never met Mr. Right, but she is alright with that. She is very much a motherly sort. She’s known Angelia since she was a baby and, in the absence of her father, is fiercely protective of her, but even Colette can’t keep the teenager from risking her life.

vicky sleater — twenty-one (young adult) — architect — female — married
great kisser — family-orientated — handy — hopeless romantic — artistic
Jabari and Vicky got married barely a year a ago and moved from the city to the small town of Appaloosa Plains. Vicky, especially, thought it would be a wonderful place to raise a family. Even though things have changed, she was likely the happiest to find the well stocked nursery. She still wants that family. Jabari is slightly more apprehensive now, wondering if there will even be a world for the children to grow up in. For now, the topic has been put aside as the attempt to live in the church with three strangers, everyday wondering if things are going to fall apart.

louis nance — forty-four (adult) — farmer — male — single
loves the outdoors — commitment issues — loner — easily impressed — green thumb
Living in a church with four strangers is not what Louis had in mind when he came to the town to participate in the farmer’s market. If it saves his life, though, he will do it. He’s already claimed the food growing aspect of survival, having made himself a garden in church yard. It’s a bit freaky watching monsters watch him, but as long as this supernatural protection holds up and keeps the church grounds safe, he will spend most of his time outside, trying to ensure the group doesn’t starve to death.

Setting

Barely a day ago, the world turned from order and secure to being ravaged by monsters of all sorts. People died in droves, what was once their home destroyed by beings that had never been seen before, or by people that were once their friends turned into beings that were never seen before. Five people found solace in an area that the evil did not seem able to touch: a church. Together they will try and find a way out.
