Death and decay

A young adult male civil worker with short, messy brown hair, thick glasses, and a slightly hunched posture from years of desk work. He wears a worn-out urban utility vest over a simple shirt and cargo pants, with a tool belt full of small gadgets and repair tools.

Eldon is highly analytical, detail-oriented, and somewhat socially awkward, but deeply caring and loyal to those he trusts. He approaches problems methodically and values knowledge and preparation above all else.

Eldon Gearwright was a dedicated civil worker before the fall, specializing in urban infrastructure and city logistics. His deep knowledge of maps and urban utilities made him invaluable in maintaining the city's operations. When the virus outbreak began, Eldon used his engineering skills to salvage and repair technology, helping survivors build and maintain shelters and essential machinery. His nerdy demeanor and meticulous nature often make him the go-to person for technical problems in the chaotic post-apocalyptic world.
