General Description: Destiny stands at five feet and four inches tall; she weighs one hundred and fifteen pounds. Her form is athletic, yet slender. She has an hourglass shaped frame with D-cup sized breasts. Her skin has a light tan to it causing silvery colored eyes to stand out all that much more. Destiny’s hair is a light blond in color: she has bangs that once framed her face but now have grown out long enough to be swept to the side, while the remainder of her hair goes a little more than halfway down her back though often worn in a french braid or a bun to keep it out of the way. While she doesn’t bother with make-up (it being the end of the world and all) she does have naturally dark and thick lashes.

Destiny’s attire is quite strange indeed. To start with she wears a black v-neck style form fitting wife beater style tank top. Over top of this is worn a baggy gray colored hoodie whose length goes about six inches past her hips. The hoodie has an extra baggy hood that helps to keep her face covered,  front pocket, and thumb holes at the bottom of the sleeves to keep them down. Black bike shorts are worn beneath of a pair of gray baggy pants which are held in place by a thick rope belt that interweaves inside of the waist line of the pants. The pants have strings down towards the ankles too which all them to be raised up into capri style pants if needed. Boots, which the ankle area of the pants are tucked into help complete this look. Her boots are dark gray in color and not only lace up the front but have several buckles as well.

As far as accessories go there are several Destiny is normally seen with, the first of which is a pair of orange tinted goggles. The tint allows the goggles to act as sunglasses while providing extra protection to her eyes. A gas mask is almost always worn on her face to protect her from inhaling anything toxic or deadly, though there are occasions where she allowed it to hang around her neck from the strap. A green iPod with matching green earbud headphones is also seen on her person quite often; earbuds in her ears. On her elbows, beneath her hoodie she wears elbow pads. A shoulder bag, tan in color, is worn normally over her chest or shoulder which contains the majority of her supplies.

As far as weapons on her person go Destiny carries a boot knife in her left boot, and a katana she found strapped to her back.


Personality: Destiny has a very quiet personality. In school she was considered the ‘loner’ or the ‘outcast’. She didn’t much care for talking unless she really had something important to say, and she didn’t have a lot of friends. She preferred to keep her circle close and private; she preferred quality when it came to her friends over quantity. Even after the ‘end of the world’ this trait is something that has continued to stick when it comes to Dez; she prefers to operate alone or with only one other individual: the less people around the less issues seem to come up.

She is in a word: secretive. She prefers to keep her business to herself, and only allows the very basic of information to be known about her until she really gets a chance to know and trust someone at which time she becomes more open about herself.

Despite her loner qualities she’s quite helpful. If she comes across a person in need or in trouble and its within her ability to help them she will do so without a second thought before moving on to continue on her own path.

Both before the end of the world and now after Destiny has proved that she doesn’t much care for rules and authority. She prefers to do things her way because in her opinion that’s how it gets done right (at least in her eyes). That isn’t to say she doesn’t take suggestions, or that she minds being taught the ‘right’ way to do something, she just has a strong dislike for ‘authority figures’ and those who like to lord power over others.

While she comes off as the rebel and delinquent Destiny is in fact quite smart. In school she loved math above any other subject and excelled at it (along with most of her other classes). Numbers, puzzles, and games were above some of her favorite past times. She loved to read (though she preferred fiction books or manga to anything else) and still does – often having a book or two on her person at all times to help pass the time and ease her mind from all of the problems in the world.

Lastly, Destiny is not quick to violence. While she understands that the world has ended and it’s eat or be eaten she still prefers to solve things as peacefully as possible. However, if that is incapable of being achieved she will then become what most call ‘crazy’. She will go to whatever means to ensure her own survival even if it means doing something as dangerous as walking into a room with a bomb whose fuse is lit and making her demands known.

History: Destiny Kane was born into an average sized family; one of the oldest children. She was always a bit of a loner and considered a bit ‘weird’ especially later on in middle school and into high school. She kept to herself mostly, and had very few friends to speak of. Even though she was incredibly smart with near genius level intelligence she didn’t even blend in well with the ‘nerds’ or ‘geeks’ of the school.

She always had her nose in a book (mostly manga) except when going on one of her various trips to Japan with her father who was a businessman. It was during these trips that Destiny seemed to really open up; she loved the Japanese culture and even got interested in a Iaido martial arts class though she wasn’t in Japan nearly long enough or often enough to get properly involved. When back home in the states, however, she became her quiet and reserved self, often bullied and picked on by the other girls in her grade.

By the tenth grade this bullying began to really take its toll on her; while she used to be able to ignore it she could no longer do so as easily as before. With her rage and anger building against the ‘popular kids and their fancy cars and clothes’ she ended up getting involved with a group whose purpose was to ‘go green’. They believed in preserving nature, not destroying it, and believed that anything that did destroy nature needed a dose of its own medicine. At first Destiny’s involvement with the group was limited, but as she gained their trust she was given more and more important tasks; including being taught how to build a variety of different explosives – though she would go forth and learn even more on her own. From there she began to help this group; bombing car dealerships, burning and bombing puppy mills after setting all the animals free, destroying animal testing labs, and so forth. Most of the time she got away free, but on one occasion during the summer before her twelfth grade year started she ended up being caught red headed.

Her father bailed her out of jail and made a deal with the district attorney: if she would go off for a year to Japan as an exchange student where she would live under strict rules far away from her fellow ‘troublemakers’ the charges would be dropped since this was her first time in trouble in seventeen years. So, it was off to Japan come August for Destiny, but it wasn’t all that bad. She found herself as fascination to her fellow students who liked to bombard her with questions (far better than being picked on every day and tormented), and even joined a martial arts academy that taught Iaido now that she was there often enough to actually learn. She made a close friend or two, and for nine months lived a life she was quite happy with. She participated in Iaido competitions, including one which resulted in a nasty cut and a diagnosis of mild Hemophilia type A. Still she didn't allow this newfound diagnosis to stop her from participating in what she enjoyed doing.

At the end of the school year however her father came on one of his business trips and left back to the states with her afterward.

What they came home to however was not pleasant. A sort of outbreak had happened, and what were once easily ignored news stories became headlines that terrified everyone. This didn’t stop Destiny from getting a job as a Runner who delivered documents around town as well as items, or from wanting to go to her last Iaido competition which just so happened to be taking place in the states.  Despite her mother’s wishes that she remain home where it was ‘safe’ she left anyway – on her own. It would prove to be the last time she saw her parents or siblings, as when she made it home after the competition it was apparent that the world in which Destiny once lived had become hell itself with the dead aimlessly wandering the streets looking for their next meal.

The fate of Destiny’s family was unclear though, as there was no blood inside of the house and after searching through everything it became clear that items such as clothing and food were missing. It seemed that as the worst hit her family decided to hit the road, leaving behind nothing but a note which Destiny found later on among the mess that had been left by scavengers. Unaware if her parents were still alive or dead Destiny headed out on her own, deciding to revert back to her old high school ways of being a loner; armed with the katana she spent nine months training with and enough household chemicals to keep her well stocked in explosives were she to need them, as well as enough supplies to keep her clothed and fed as she went from one place to another – scavenging as she searched for the fate of her family and helping those she came across along her way so long as it didn’t threaten her own well being...
