"It was a virus. An infection. You didn't need a doctor to tell you that. It was the blood. It was something in the blood. By the time they tried to evacuate the cities it was already too late. Army blockades were overrun. And that's when the exodus started. Before the TV and radio stopped broadcasting there were reports of infection in Paris and New York. We didn't hear anything more after that.’"

Appearance: At least a paragraph.

Personality: Meet Thanatos, he likes to put on a tough exterior like he could take on the world single handedly and win. He likes to imagine that he doesn't need anyone and he's got everything under control. The truth is, Thanatos has nothing under control. He's a kid that's too smart for his own good. He's known to the entire New York police department as a small time drug dealer. Thanatos is a chemistry whiz kid, and actually developed his own drug cocktail comprised mainly of household chemicals, guaranteed to mess you up. He's not a druggie himself, he's not into dying young but you wouldn't know that otherwise. He makes a decent amount selling his scat, and in turn this has pissed off the real drug dealers and he's getting into hot water without even knowing it.

Thanatos feels like a fake person, like he's not even who he thinks he is. Because of this, he's made a point of being known. Aside from his drug dealing, the kid can throw one hell of a party. His parties are notorious, always epic in proportion and it usually doesn't end until someone is overdosed, or the cops are called. There's no telling how many morning after pills his parties have been responsible for. The boy lives to party, he thrives off it and the popularity it brings. It makes him feel a little less lonely and a little more like a normal person. Other than that, he really has no ambition and with his mind, there are thousands of things he could go on to, especially in the area of experimental drugs and such but it's not likely that will ever happen - he has problems with growing up and taking responsibility for anything.

He's a player, but not in the traditional sense. He's not in it for the sex, he could find that anywhere, it's the relationship. The feeling of being wanted, needed, and loved. It's some emotional issue lingering from the fact he never really had that growing up. He attaches himself to the people he's with, he gets jealous easy - sometimes he even imagines stuff is going on behind his back. For the simple fact he wants to be loved, and needed that bad he's more than capable of loving fiercely, and being hopelessly devoted. To the point he wouldn't think twice about laying down his own life for someone else. When he falls, he falls hard and the breakup is even harder. He doesn't take rejection well. He's the type that stays two steps away from self destruction. He needs friends to keep him from getting to himself.

As a friend, Thanatos is insanely loyal. A true Lost Boy. He's protective, and brotherly. Something like, it's alright for him to be a dick with them but when someone else does it he gets pissed off. He loves to tease, and generally he likes to give hell and let his friends dish it right back. He's the person who says "fuck" in front of your mom, and apologizes profusely before she can label him as the Devil's child. Yet, when you need him - Thanatos is right here and ready to give it all he's got.

There were some rumors going around NYC, steaming for his recent run ins with the police. The first one that went around was that Thanatos was dealing in Meth and it was found in his car. The true version is, the old lady for whom he does yard work for gave him some praline. He hates that shit, but he didn't tell her that instead he left it in his car, and in the heat it crystallized. New York pigs got all hot and bothered when they found that. They ended up looking like idiots when it turned out to be candy. The second one was that Thanatos has been arrested for murder. The truth in that was his cousin had an accident with a piece of wood and a rock and ended up cutting his head open, and head wounds bleed like a bitch. He threw the kid in his car and took him to his parent's house but by the time he got him there, the kid had bled all over his passenger seat. On the way home, his nerves were still on edge and he was speeding and got pulled over. He was taken in for questioning when the patrolmen took one look at his passenger seat, never mind Thanatos trying to explain that.

History: Thanatos was born as a desperate attempt for his mother, to keep his father around. Unfortunately, the plan didn't work. When Thanatos was six months old his father remarried his office secretary and started a brand new life. He wasn't born into just any old family. His mother was the daughter of the governor and his dad a prominent psychological scholar. His early life was a lot of parading around high profile dinner parties to gain sympathy for his mother. Honestly, Thanatos was raised by his nanny, because short of formal gatherings Thanatos' mother wanted nothing to do with him. He reminded her too much of the man who had left her and made her life a living hell.

When he was six, he had developed a petty hatred for his mother, and he swore she was the reason his father left. Little kids like seeing black and white but never grey. One night when she was taking out her frustrations on a bottle of sherry, Thanatos remembered that entire fight over something stupid, Carolyn telling him to go to bed and he didn't want to. Being the stupid little kid he was, he pushed her. Any other day that would of been harmless, but she was drunk and couldn't quite get her balance at the edge of the stairs. Thanatos watched it happen in slow motion, his mother tip back, while he was too shocked to move. He watched her body tumble down the stairs, like a rag doll discarded. When she landed with a sickening thud at the bottom, Thanatos cried.

He'd left his toys at the bottom of the stairs and her neck landed just right, killing her instantly. Thanatos was sent to live with his father, who immediately started Than on a whole round of prescription drugs, a list that just kept growing the older he got. His father classified him, as a threat, something aggressive that needed to under control at all times. The truth was, he was just a stupid kid and he should of put up his toys that night. As a teenager, his rebellion knew no boundaries. He was sent to boarding school, at fifteen when he was caught selling his Lithium in the bathroom stalls for twenty dollars.

Somehow he managed to survive school, and even got early acceptance to university but that's not Thanatos, he's got too many issues for that. Needless to say his relationship with his parents wasn't a good one. It obviously shaped the monster he grew into. He hasn't talked to his father in three years. That isn't liable to change, so long as Thanatos is breathing. You'd have to drag the boy home. He's never really lived that down in his hometown. He's always that kid who killed his mom. It really fucked him up.
