Joseph Reginald (J.R.) Lilly

J.R. grew up on a farm/ranch in Southeast Texas. Life around the farm was difficult but not bad. He got along fine with his mother, but relations were always strained with his father. J.R. wasn't the son he hoped for, he was never truly interested in the farm just in either fixing things or building things, though he did help the farm by becoming the family's "fix-it" kid. His father pushed him into things like boxing, which he did fairly good at, but also tried pushing him into football and wrestling which he was horrible at. Things between them grew easier once his younger brother showed an interest in running the farm and excelled at football. This let off the pressure from J.R. and allowed him to focus more on the things he really enjoyed, academics and figuring out how things worked.

He gained a scholarship to Texas A&M University through it's lesser known Army ROTC program and studying hard to become what he realized he would love to do, become a combat engineering officer. At A&M he met his future wife Christina. They made plans to get married after his graduation and induction into the Army.

After his graduation and induction ceremony J.R., now 2nd Lieutenant Lilly, recieved his orders for his first tour in Afganistan. Joseph and Christina had a quick wedding and honeymoon before his deployment. Just after a matter of days in Afganistan he recieved the news, his wife was pregnant. He was able to get back to the states just in time to see his daughter born. He had discovered a new joy in life. Being a father. Though just a few months later he was redeployed for his 2nd tour in Afganistan. Just before he left he recieved the news that his not only did his brother get a football scholarship to Texas Tech and would be going there next year, but also his mother was pregnant with a soon to be baby sister!

His second tour did not go nearly as well as his first. He became best friends with an Army sniper. They would hang out together constantly and talked of starting a construction business once they both left the Army. SSgt. Billy Johnson would teach J.R. about sniping and J.R. would teach him about fixing thing and construction. Every chance they could they would hang out together even if one of them was enlisted (normally frowned upon in the military). The same day he got the news that his mother had given birth to his sister, Billy was KIA. Four days later he then recieved word that, on the way home from the hospital Both his parents, his brother, and his infant sister were all killed on the way home by a drunk driver.

J.R. recieved emergency family leave and flew back to the US in a daze. In less than a week five people he cared about died. After the funeral for his family hid wife tried to get him to go to counciling, but all he wanted to do was lose himself in his work. Selling the farm off he paid the debts of his parents, put the rest of the money into a college fund for his daughter and left for Afganistan.

While his 3rd tour was quiet, it helped him work through the loss he had suffered. It ended with the news that he would be getting a promotion, but he was also getting stop lossed and would be serving another two years. He traveled back to his unit, wife, and child at Fort Hood. Two months later the wave hit.

When the Wave started getting worse command canceled all off base housing and recalled all the troops into the base along with their immediate families. Work was intense, not only converting buildings into makeshift hospitals but also improvising defenses against the crowds and riots that would occasionally happen at the gates. Then the dying started. And then the reports of the dead coming back and the actuality of it happening before their own eyes.

The base was quickly over run and command and control fell apart. The order to retreat came, but not to where. Just an order to retreat and disperse. J.R. along with five other soldiers made it to the Hum-Vee and left trying to get to where the civilians were housed. Once they made it there they saw that it was completely overwhelmed with zombies. 1st LT. Lilly found his wife and daughter but they weren't alive anymore. They were part of a crowd attacking and tearing apart an MP. He fell back in a daze, not even noticing one of his fellow soldiers jumping out of the Hum-Vee to "Be with my family!" in the midst of the zombies. He and the other four soldier left and headed west.

Along the way two more were lost to the zombies scrounging for supplies. Later in another incident they came upon a civilian vehicle with women standing around it. J.R. stayed in the driver's seat while the other two soldiers approched to see if they could help. They were murdered in an ambush. J.R. punched the gas and left. He couldn't see where the ambushers were and wasn't about to just throw his life away. Still heading west he neared Cochise, looking to see if Fort Huachuca still had any of the living instead of just the dead.

Sentiments toward zombies: He sees them as nothing more than a force of nature or a disease. Something that can be battled, but nothing deserving of hate. To him they are mindless things driven by insticts and even the "thinking" ones are more consumed by insticts and more than just a smart animal.

Sentiments toward humans: Very distrustful at this point. He has lost everything and everyone he cares about to people that care for nothing but their own wants. That being said, once he finds a person he can trust he is quick to make a joke or to help out. He loves helping people, he just doesn't trust them till they earn that trust.

Disposition: Very unemotional and wary until he is certain he is not going to be stabbed in the back. Then his true self shows through. Despite and the hell and loss he's gone through, he has a natrally jovial nature that is quick to show through. While good natured he is also quick to defend his position on a subject and won't back down if he is certain he is in the right.

Religion: Growing up on a farm and being raised strongly christian he wonders what this all means. While never himself having strong convictions, he still does believe in god and sometimes wonders if it isn't him that has died and living in hell.
