Full Name: Daryl William Dixon
Nickname(s): None, care to add one? Birthdate: April 19th 1988 Age: Twenty six years old Parents: Marcy & Will Dixon Siblings: Merle Dixon Current Location: Nomadic. On the run since the apocalypse began. Relationship Status: Taken by Cloud Emerson Sexual Orientation: Straight Crush: Cloud Emerson Children: His girlfriend is currently pregnant Companions/Pets: None Weapon(s): A crossbow, a rifle, and two large hunting knifes. |
Physical Appearance: Daryl is 6'3" in height and a little over 140 in weight, mostly muscle weight. He is very muscular, and strong. Daryl has shaggy, dark brown hair, and scruffy facial hair on his chin and under his nose. His eyes are bright, baby blue in color and hide most of his feelings. His skin is tanned from the Georgia sun and marked with tattoos and hundreds of scars from his abusive childhood. He has two small moles on the left side of his lip and nose. |
Personality: Daryl had a rough childhood. He was abused by his alcoholic father and half-uncle and he lost his mother in a house fire. He never had many friends, and it made him be cold towards everyone but his older brother. He is bipolar, it runs in the family, and it doesn't take much to make him angry, though he is much more level-headed than Merle and his father. When his brother got separated from the group when the apocalypse began Daryl started letting people get closer to him. He is very protective especially to women and children. However, it still doesn't take much to make him snap. He tries to refrain from hitting women but it has happened before. He does feel sorry afterwards unlike his father, who never did. He and Merle drank, smoked, ad did drugs before the apocalypse. So he was never no angel. He still drinks whenever he gets the chance, and smokes a cigarette whenever one is available. Daryl does have a soft side, if you are lucky enough to find it. |
Typical Attire: Daryl has always been known to wear his angel wing vest, that was originally long sleeved but is now sleeveless. He isn't picky on what he wears other than that, as long as it's sort of clean. Scars/Tattoos: Daryl has hundreds of scars scattered throughout his skin. Cigarette burns, whip marks, fingernail scratches, you name it, he has it. He was abused by his father and half uncle. The most noticeable scars are on his back. He has four tattoos. Two demons reaching out to each other on his left shoulder blade, a small devil on his left bicep, a snake on his left leg, and his wife's name, "Adelaide" on his ring finger. |
Pre-Apocalypse:
Daryl and Merle lived within the mountains of North Georgia, under the roof of their neglectful parents; their father being an abusive alcoholic and their mother being both that and a chain-smoker. When Daryl was old enough to ride a bicycle, they lost their mother to a house fire that had been caused by her cigarette when she was asleep (or possibly drunk in bed). Merle was at least 12 years old when their mother died, as he was in juvenile detention at the time. Merle raised Daryl to share his beliefs and be tough like a grown man. However, he too was often absent from Daryl's life; part of that had to do with the fact that he was frequently in juvenile institutions. This led to Daryl having to frequently fend for himself. Once, after their mother's death, but before Daryl reached age 12, he got lost in the woods for nine full days and lived off of wild berries and used poison oak as a substitute for toilet paper. Merle was again in juvenile detention (so he was older than 19 years old). When Daryl managed to find his way home, his father had not noticed his absence. He walked in through the back door and then made himself a sandwich. It was revealed in that both Daryl and Merle were physically abused by their father, causing Merle to abandon the family. Merle claimed to never know that his father was hurting Daryl too, but Daryl does not seem to believe him. Daryl reveals that he was a drifter before the apocalypse, following his brother and doing what he said. When the apocalypse began, he and Merle headed towards Atlanta (a declared safe-zone) for shelter. Along the way, they both met up with Shane's group and found out Atlanta was overrun. They helped set up camp near a quarry. During their stay at the camp, they spent a considerable amount of time hunting animals. According to Merle, they had planned to rob the camp blind before Merle was left in Atlanta. Daryl owned a grey 1973 Ford F-250 pickup truck. He used it to transport the corpses of the fallen camp-survivors, such as Ed Peletier and Amy to the graveyard made by Jim. When the group left for the CDC, Daryl was driving his truck with his brother's motorcycle in the back. When his truck ran out of gas, he put his belongings in one of the other vehicles, (possibly Dale's RV) and switches vehicles to his brother's motorcycle. |
