Swagler

Personality:   Backstory Swag spent much of the epidemics rise in denial, hiding in his factory with his mom and brothers in an attempt to achieve normalcy inside his walls with the hope that the world outside would soon fix itself. In an undisclosed event, he discovered that he could be bitten by zombies without showing any signs of infection. It has been implied that at some point he had to put down his mother because she became infected. Forced to leave his factory at the height of his success, his first instinct was to seek out the source of the Truffula Flu epidemic with his best friend, One-ler. He managed to find Entre, a former acquaintance at the time, and decided his best shot at survival was to form a camp with the person who knew the most about the Flu. Personality Swag is a loudmouthed and charismatic Once-ler who uses his immunity to not only have fun in the apocalypse, but also to become a human shield for everyone in camp. He prides himself on his bravery and the fact that everybody loves him. Or at least he hopes they do. He is loyal to his friends and has shown that he genuinely cares and will do anything he can to help whether it’s to save the world or make someone smile. This includes taking bites for others as previously stated, working with Audrey to try to find a cure, setting off fireworks to cheer up children, going out of his way to retrieve camp members who have wandered off, and volunteering to go on dangerous supply runs. He however is very reckless, short tempered, vulgar, hard headed, and rarely thinks about the results of his actions and if they will put others in danger until it’s too late. More recently he has had a loss of hope after the death of his dear friend Prisma. He now appears to be more aware of his own possible mortality and the mortality of those around him. No longer as reckless or lighthearted, he now clings desperately to the only hope he can manage to find anymore. Swag struggles overall with opening up to people out of a constant fear he'll be seen as "weak" and will often brush off efforts that are made to understand his emotions. When donating blood to Audrey, she remarks he is donating much more than is needed, suggesting that Swag isn't only doing this to benefit the cure, but also out of coping for his own needs. This ties back into his inability and distrust of expressing emotion, as it would easily happen to pile up on his spirit and that'd be a way he could let it out without consulting anyone. He needs to feel control over something for once in his life and wants a constant thing that will never change, and that's something he would be able to do withoout the problems occurring. Furthermore, it is suggested Swag's external personality of vulgarity and arrogance is a front to the internal man scared of everything. He finds responsibility in being the "stable" person in camp and utilizes optimism as a beacon to express it, as mentioned with doing things to make people feel better. He finds difficulty in attaching to other people, as empathy isn't his primal skill and instead feels oddly uncomfortable in situations that provoke others expressing excessive emotion or even just crying. Swag has a preference of being a pillar instead of a leader as the responsibility would be too much for him. He isn't one to take complete control of a full group but instead prefers overseeing activities he understands better such as supply runs, fun for everyone, and other notable things that I can't fucking find because his blog is dead UGH. To go back to discussing his self harm tactic and why he does it, Swag obviously feels little regard for his own life which is backed up by the fact that he takes bites for other people so they'll be okay. He finds no worth in himself and like I said, instead of communicating this with anyone he turns to harming himself . One of the only things really keeping him going is Entre, followed by the friends that he still maintains in life, and wanting to live in strength for Prisma because he doesn't want her to beat his ass for dying. When in the mental space he's in when Prisma dies, Swag draws himself back from everyone and becomes even colder and more emotionless, certainly as a defense mechanism so he won't allow himself to get close with anyone else in fear he'll lose them too. He finds emotions as a burden and attempts heavily to bury them at times. n the first arc of the narrative, Swag is shown to wear a button-up with green pinstripes, green once-ler gloves, a pink thneed and sparkly-blue sunglasses. His shirt is blue and reads 'You Only Live Once,' with a small addition of '-Ler' to the bottom. It is unclear whether or not this addition was printed onto the shirt or if Swag added the word himself. He wears a green belt with a golden dollar sign buckle, as well as tight black pants and black boots that cut off at about halfway up his calf. After Entre's demotion, Swag's outfit changes. Now he is shown to wear a brown leather jacket over a green t-shirt that reads 'Swaggin' Ain't Easy.' It appears that underneath his jacket, he wears another article of clothing that is a darker shade of green than his 'Swaggin' Ain't Easy' shirt, and is shown over the sleeves. He also wears black gloves and dark brown pants, and a blue belt that hangs detached from his belt loops. Finally, Swag still wears his black boots over both his real leg and the robotic one that he was given after his raid of the hospital.
