Chuck



''That's it.You're either living or you're not. You ain't little, you ain't a girl, you ain't a boy, you ain't strong or smart. You're alive. - Chuck''

Charles, more frequently referred to as "Chuck", is a homeless drifter and the original inhabitor of the boxcar. He is generally friendly, and avoids most serious conflict. Chuck tends to jokingly tease other survivors, but it’s all in good fun. He enjoys the new company and tries to be as helpful as possible despite his complete ineptitude with firearms.

Pre-Apocalypse (headcanon)
Growing up in Georgia Chuck was always restless. After high school he had trouble holding a steady job, due to the fact that he just couldn’t settle. He eventually got married, and got by hopping from job to job. When it became apparent that Charles would never be able to provide them with a reliable income, or kick his budding drinking problem, his wife left with their young son.

Chuck eventually succumbed to his alcoholism and has been living on the streets. He worked odd jobs every now and then, but only to support his drinking. He hasn’t heard from his family in fourteen years, and has no idea if they survived the zombie attacks.

Post-Apocalypse
Chuck survived the outbreak alone seeking refuge in an abandoned boxcar. When Lee's group showed up with the intent of taking the train east he didn't hesitate to join them on the road. He now helps by cleaning up around the boxcar, and adding levity to the bleak reality by playing his guitar. Chuck is drunk most of the time, but due to his high alcohol tolerance he tends to get introspective rather than unruly.
