Ally, while extremely introverted, is willing to help anyone that crosses their path. While the infection had changed their appearance quite a bit, they seem to be immune. Mentally sound(?), but physically... Not so much.

Allister "Ally" Nova

Age: 22
Hometown: Edmonton, AB

Not much isn't exactly known about them, besides being Canadian & having a troubled childhood. They don't like talking about what happened to them when the infection first hit, but as long as the others are comfortable with them, then there's nothing to be worried about.Ally proves to be quite selfless, wanting nothing but to provide protection to the other survivors by any means necessary. Perhaps the infection might help in defending others, at least that's how they see it. If the world has given them the tools, they'll use them for the right reasons.

NAME: Allister Dusk Nova
ALIAS: Ally
NICKNAMES: Al, Allycat, Fuzzball/Furball, Starlight
D.O.B: September 14th
PRONOUNS: They/them
AGE: 22
HEIGHT: 5'7" (170 cm)
STATUS: Light Mutation, Alive


MISC: Diagnosed with ADHD, PSTD, Tourettes & BPD. Despite their appearance, they're not part cat.Nocturnal, seems to sneak out at night to gather for supplies on their own. The things they find are.. Interesting.

ABILITIES: Inhuman agility, night vision, advanced hearing.
DETAILS: Left side of body is mutated, left hand seeming to be mutated the most with long dark red claws. (Needs to be trimmed every few days, as to not let it get worse.) The right hand, while not as bad, still has long cat-like claws, which they have painted. It's the apocalypse, might as well go out in style, right?

Antisocial would be an understatement as to describe Ally, it’s not like they wanted to be this way, though. Being isolated for 13-16 years; in an abusive foster-home and being taught that they’re unlovable, a burden to everyone, it makes them afraid of everything and everyone. Until they met Mason, that is, there was a small buildup of teenage rebellion until the incident that occurred when they were 16. Since they were re-adopted by Dr. Moth; they’re slowly learning to try to be social with the help of their friends (Mostly Lynn and her boyfriend, Andre) at first but after the breakup with Ricky, they sort of shut down. But that only lasted a year and a half, now they’re starting again, to become better. Despite this, they’re still a bit of a “pushover” and is afraid to ask for help of any kind, not wanting to be a burden on anyone. Even flinching when someone raises their voice or moves too fast. Even if they’re cautious, Ally is also a very curious person, too.Having a speech impediment, Ally always stutters, pauses and fumbles their words- There are times where they can say a complete sentence without issue, but it’s rare. Despite all the trauma they go through; they seem to still have some type of ‘innocent’ or naive personality, even being lenient- Believing that “everyone deserves a second chance”, unless the person has done something they believe is beyond defending.Think of them as a big, affectionate tiger. Selfless, even to the point where they would sacrifice themselves; they don’t even see themselves as a hero- They don’t want to be anything like that, even if they want to do the right thing. Labels like those make them feel guilty due to some choice words by some people in their life. And, to try to hide the fact that they have their own issues, Ally uses comedy to cope and to make others feel better.

When the infection hit, Ally had noticed the mutation immediately and took every step to quarantine themselves from the world, but the more they looked out the windows, it seems that this was so much worse than what CEDA had the public believe. Things were quiet for a while, and when they finally decided to travel when supplies were getting low, they saw the full extent of how the infection hit the country. They'd wish they didn't take a vacation into the US, maybe things would be different if they stayed back home...At some point they find a small group, who was willing to help them at first, but eventually left them for dead (badum-tish) when a horde attacked. At this point, the common infected don't really pay attention to them. But some special infected, such as Smokers, Chargers, Spitters, Jockeys & of course Tanks will attack them depending on the situation.Ally was alone again, and they had believed that maybe it was for the best if other people will only see them as a liability. It's only when a Smoker has them pinned, they were willing to die right there and then until a group of new survivors save them, and were able to get them back on their feet over the next few days. This new group was more than willing to take Ally under their wing, regardless of their appearance.Carriers need to stick together in order to survive this hell of an apocalypse, and that's exactly what they're all going to do.

Claws concept art

Bill - They aren't really sure if they actually knew him or not. Some of the others would mention him, and how he had sacrificed himself. With what they know, Ally would have high respect for the old man, hell, they could've sworn he's appeared in a dream of theirs- Albeit, extremely blurry. Those kinds of dreams make Ally believe that an afterlife, or at least ghosts do exist in the world.

Louis - Optimism is something that the both of them have in common, and of course they'd consider him to be a great friend because even when the world is absolute shit; he knows how to make everyone look on the bright side, even if some won't admit it.

Francis - At first, Ally didn't really like him. His attitude was mostly the reason why, the whole biker asshole getup felt super exaggerated, and it didn't help that they'd be referred to as a "Vampire Cat" by him. But overtime, they actually don't mind him- Francis can be pretty funny at times, and the potential chaos the two of them could create only fuels their need for friendship. Or, acquaintance, that works too.

Zoey - Just like Ellis, they have a crush on the red jacket wearing survivor, though they aren't as obvious like he is at first. Mushy feelings aside, they'd still be glad to be her friend, and would do just about anything to make sure she's safe. The only real hint anyone gets in regards to their feelings is that their pupil is dilated whenever speaking with her, or just being around her in general. With anyone else, their eye is pretty much normal. Any observant eyes would know something is up with them besides being a bit more nervous than usual.


Nick - While the both of them don't exactly get along for plenty of reasons, Ally knows that he can be a good person when he wants to be, but wishes that he didn't have to be so negative 95% of the time. Even then, they're always wondering what kind of life he had to end up the way he is.

Ellis - One of the only people that they aren't intimidated by, Ellis is a pure hearted man, and they'd consider him their best friend. Ally might be the only person who actually listens to his stories about Keith, even if some of them don't end up being fully processed in their head. Basically; two ADHD goofballs go well in an apocalypse. They're very aware of his crush on Zoey, and only wish the best of luck to him if he ever makes his move on her.

Coach - Ally would describe Coach as a teddy bear, if the bear had a chainsaw- Which isn't a bad thing when you consider the situation the world is currently in. Sure, he can be intimidating at times, but they know that he wouldn't harm them. He's the papa bear of the group, and honestly with Ally's record of shitty father figures, Coach is considered to be a good one. Though, they'll never admit this out loud.

Rochelle - Another friend! Rochelle has proven herself to be extremely capable, caring but never takes any shit from anyone. She might've been one of the first to let Ally stay with the group, providing a bit of Big Sister care that they didn't know they needed. Ally can always rely on Rochelle if they need comfort or just someone to talk to.

Ally actually originally started as a L4D oc back in 2014-2015, so this verse feels like I'm coming back full circle.Their eye glows in the dark, just like common infected pupils glow under certain lighting or lack-thereof.
