Character Name
The Wanderer
I Agree
Yes
Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No
Age
30
Personality
A Charmer, Kasper Chord, with the Alias of 'The Wanderer' is a self-dependent man with a secretive identity. He’s generally seems detached from the present, and when asked his name, he will lie. He’s, in person, very kind and generous to those around him. He is starkly honest and upstanding - but when asked about himself - he’ll almost always lie. The Wanderer has dedicated himself to a life of teaching those around him. He, himself, is meant to be an allegorical lesson to the contradictory nature of humanity - at least, in his own head.
Otherwise, he’s a carefree, somewhat morally dependable man. Cocky but also courageous. He’s a talented musician, and he always tries his best for everyone he meets, and if they pay kindness to him, he’ll try and do the same. But he generally insists on one rule of thumb - he doesn’t join any kind of faction, or ‘team’. He is insistent on being a Lone Wolf - a saviour in the night. He wants to be a Hero. But this makes him a liability, not only to himself but everyone around him as he tends to be very unpredictable in nature. His want to be a hero in these dark times stems from inward guilt of the past. He, in his own words, would say he’s ‘Outrunning Karma, while also trying to tilt it in his favour.’
He ultimate goal is that he wants to save someone. He wants to preserve someone's life - he's more than willing to do it at the expense of his own.
(As An Authorial Note: I do understand this character is a little off-the-rails)
Physical Appearance
Standing at 6’0”, or 183cm, and weighing in roughly 169lbs, Kasper is on the broader side of the spectrum. Well-rounded in stature, he appears in his physical prime. He’s white, and his hair is a windswept, almost bleached-looking blonde, with a neat stubble covering his lower face. His eyes are green and generally looked tired to anyone who looks in and slightly below his eyes. It’s a signet of his lack of sleep. He looks roughly his age and overall appears somewhat a well-built, attractive ‘bad boy’ from the ’90s.

Biography
Born April 21st in 1989 to Roy and Suzanne Forbes, Toby Edward Forbes grew up in an affluent family in Colorado. Both his parents were in Business - Roy and Suzanne worked closely in high positions with BP in the Denver Region of Colorado, and both had done for many years, as did their parents before. Hence the affluence.
Toby would receive the best education possible at D'Evelyn High School, and he most certainly did. Growing up into his teenage years, he became the pride and joy of the Forbes family. A prodigy, some would argue. What he didn't make up for intelligence, he made up for in charm. He never had difficulty swaying people to his side. The more he grew up, the more charming he became. His family cushioned him from reality in his early years. Spoiled him rotten. His interest in music would be found at the age of 15, where he learned to play acoustic guitar and also began pursuing his greatest hobby: women. The female 'species', and humanity generally, fascinated Toby to almost an obsessive level. He delved deeply into human philosophy before anything else. But, his parents pushed him towards Engineering. This was when Toby began to disavow the Forbes family name and pursued a more rebellious lifestyle.
Nevertheless, he was forced on to an Engineering Degree at Colorado College in Colorado Springs after graduating school. While he seemed to soften as he came to his second year. However, things were turned upside down when the summer break, when the Forbes family organised a hiking trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park in 2009. A journey, from which, Roy and Suzanne wouldn't return. During one of the last nights, their car drove off the mountainside on the way down, killing them both. Miraculously, Toby wasn't in the vehicle at the time. Toby was dumbstruck to hear that both of his parents would be so unfortunate and grieved their loss. He spoke at their funeral and thanked them, only to break down in front of the congregation. But it wasn't out of grief - it was out of guilt and regret.
By all rights - Toby Forbes should've been arrested for the murder of Roy and Suzanne Forbes. For it was he who cut their breaks.
But no one checked the wreck. It just an accident to everyone else.
But after the Funeral, Toby began to feel terrible guilt set deep into his heart. He did it out of childish instinct, after being spoilt so severely, he wasn't used to being told no. So he lashed out violently. He didn't necessarily want them to die. But. That's arrogance for you. It's now Toby Forbes' most terrible secret.
Toby inherited a large sum of money from the death of his parents. Then from his grandparents too. Soon, Toby sat on so much money that he had no idea what to do with it. But he was too afraid to spend it. Soon, he developed a relatively paranoid personality. His guilt rooted deep into his mind, and he soon felt as though he was being watched and followed. He felt as though someone was out to 'get him'. So, he began to run.
He legally changed his name to Kasper Chord to 'cover his tracks', and also to function as a stage name. With his large sums of money and only single grandparent, Will Forbes left, he left home around the age of 23 soon after finishing his Engineering degree. Then, he flew away in his trusty car. He drove for the next 7 years across the US. Learning about life, playing the guitar, engaging in prolific philanthropy (Including giving away one of his kidneys) and sleeping around with many women. He became the Wanderer he is now, haunted by his past, trying to make up for it with actions in the present. He tries to teach people about life and its struggles through his music with his unique voice. He tries to continually outrun Karma - but he's a firm believer in it, and he knows, that one day - it'll come to claim it's due. So now - he wants to save at least two lives. Those conditions are now present.
The world fell to the infection, and a new world presented itself to Kasper. He just so happened to be visiting Will Forbes on his farm when the virus rolled over, as he had done every year since he left without fail. He'd always cared for Will, he felt as though he owed the old man his life for what he did to his son, though he'd never tell him the terrible truth, of course. In any case, upon arriving on the 20th of May, it already too late. The new world began to set into Kasper's mind. Finally, Toby could die. Finally, his ties to his previous life were completely gone. Taking Will's own axe, he put him out of his misery. Now he had only one thing left to do, so he could finally find peace - Save those that remain.
He'd drive south into Texas towards the population centres, searching for survivors outside the major population centres. Ready to face this new world. A World of the Dead.
