Pre-Malton Life

Born to British couple, Scott and Elizabeth Drake in the late eighties (1989) Lesley was the middle child having both an older and younger sister. His childhood was fairly uniform, not an academic overachiever his focus was more towards sport and for a time he was a long distance runner and hurdler. Lesley's athletic career lasted until he eventually lost interest in the sports when he hit the age of sixteen, much to his parents disgust he rebelled like most teenagers. Although Lesley's rebellion was more or less just breaking his 7:30 curfew and hanging out at his mate's place overnight, to say the least Lesley was not the favorite child.

He and several of his friends decided that it'd be a good idea to volunteer for the war effort in their backyards in the neighboring city of Malton, they entered a streamline training course. Using his prior knowledge of first aid, attained through various classes his parents made him take he became a medic. Once their month long training was complete they were shipped in to aid the 1st Medical Battalion when things started to go terribly wrong.

History in Malton

Basically recording from the day he entered Malton to the day he dies...

Escaping from the wreckage of his downed transport moments before it was engulfed in flames, Lesley is the only survivor of the reinforcements meant for the 1st Medical Battalion. Not only the fact that he was left alone and without adequate supplies, he also had to make the trek from Reganbank to Penney Heights. Stumbling away from the smells and screams of his barbecuing comrades, Lesley soon found himself searching a local hospital for supplies. He managed to gather enough for several first aid kits before he continued on, making his way down to Mornington. While he spent his first night in the Chidley Row fire station he encountered his first patient, a bizarre civilian who kept rambling about how the zombies weren't going to get his shoes. After treating the man, Lesley thought it best to keep on traveling while attempting to avoid any contact with the undead. At the advice of the civilian Lesley avoided the suburb of North Blyville and headed yet again to the south ending up in Wykewood, where he had his first run in with the undead. Sure he didn't need to get involved but it was his duty to intervene, as the zombie was attacking civilians. He didn't have any ammunition to spare at the time so all he could manage to do was heal the civilians before continuing down to yet another hospital.

During the night he witnessed a barricade being erected and was quite impressed, he decided if he was able to survive in this hell hole he'd definitely try and pick up that skill. In the morning after gathering some more supplies from the various supply cupboards and wards with medicine still remaining within them, Lesley once more set off in the hopes of making it to the 1st's. While traveling through South Blyville he encountered several survivors who he aided by sacrificing all his medical supplies, unfortunately for him as he attempted to get into the hospital at Tapton he was barricaded out. This left him without refuge or a place to gather supplies, as the sun fell in the sky he rushed into a neighboring suburb, Kempsterbank where he took refuge in a building that could only be described as dingy. The survivors within looked relatively malnourished but they seemed friendly enough but kept their distance.

The next morning without a farewell to the survivors, Lesley took his leave when there appeared to be no zombies outside or in the immediate area. He traveled through several suburbs without having any close run ins with a zombie it was quite an uneventful day, so he made some decent progress and from what he gathered from an information board he was closing the gap to Penney Heights. At the time Lesley had entered Vinetown, with the information he know had he decided that by the next day he'd have made it to the rendezvous point. Lesley just hoped that the 1st's would still be waiting, he had no idea where they were stationed just to where they told command to send the reinforcements. That night he found himself barricaded within a bank, that evening he found out survivors were just as dangerous as the undead who roamed the streets.

Lesley woke to screaming, outside the bank were two survivors one of whom were screaming at the other survivor who without hesitation just raised their shotgun and pumped a couple of rounds into the other man's chest. Lesley was shocked and a little concerned, the zombies would be on their way soon but with someone crazy like that in the neighborhood he'd have to be extra-cautious. He fled through the back of the building, jogging until he reached a church that looked safe enough and accessible. Utterly exhausted now he hauled himself up into a gap in the churches roof which was oddly low for a church, he put that down to modern architecture and the fact he used the pews as a sort of ladder.

The evening passed by without event and he managed to drift into an uneasy sleep. The screams of his friends were interrupted by the fist that came in contact with his face, Lesley recognized the man as military he was a Private. The man when noticing that Lesley was awake promptly fled, bizarre things were happening and this Privates madness was proof of it. During the daylight hours Lesley remained indoors attempting to avoid any other crazy survivors, zombies he could handle but shooting ordinary civilians well Lesley wasn't sure he could do that. As dusk began to fall Lesley was surprised to find a woman inside the church offering to heal him, he only really had a contusion but he wouldn't deny help that offered it freely.

Once more he found himself being attacked by a lunatic, thankfully a doctor just happened to stumbled in on him and tended to his wounds. Lesley learned that the 1st was no longer at the rendezvouz point, so he was at a loss now unsure of what to do. The Doctor supplied him with an answer, the Shades of malton were currently recruiting members into their organisation. Lesley was interested in this but he told the doctor he'd still have to check out the hospital in Penney Heights in a hope that his unit was there. When he arrived he found numerous survivors but no Medical Battalion, he gathered up some medical supplies for first aid kits and waited the night before returning to the church. Lesley hoped that the good doctor would stop by again to recruit him into the Shades.
