Physical Description:

A male spotted hyena with an average build. He is often dressed in beige pants, a rust colored sleeveless shirt, and a scarf.

Biographical Data:

As a young hyena he was raised in a large city in a middle class household. He studied engineering in college as well as civil engineering for his degree. He was selected due to his experience for the Sanctuary program. This was a pre war effort to save the best and the brightest in the event of a nuclear war. Kieran was chosen for Sanctuary Echo, built under one of the cities in California. Filled with doctors, scientists, and engineers it was intended to serve as one of the resources in rebuilding a war damaged world.

When the war occurred nearly all of the residents of Sanctuary Echo arrived in the underground safe haven. One of the few with access to its own satellite, it was allowed the ability to monitor conditions on the surface. This was intended to aid in the eventual restoration of the infrastructure.

When the Sanctuary HQ went offline each Sanctuary was forced to fend for itself. The results were erratic. Divided between the Army, Navy, Air Force, academia, corporate America, and the civilian population the twenty six structures were spread across the nation.

After a few years of living underground, Kieran left the Sanctuary to explore the world and encountered Sierra Walker. The pair have been traveling together ever since.

Personal Statement:

"My name is Kieran Reynolds. The company wanted me to record one of these things for the sake of posterity or maybe just because they wanted to give us all something to do. It's been almost five years since the war happened and I still can't believe it. There's no government anymore, no one coming to give us the all clear. It's pretty obvious at this point we're going to have to figure out what to do on our own, but some people still believe the feds will come save us.

I'm not naïve enough to think there's any of my family left out there. They probably died in the initial blast or if not then, the chaos that came after. I've come to terms with it. Don't get me wrong, it still sucks, and I miss them every day. All I know is I've got to leave this place and find out what the old world left behind.

Alison thinks I'm nuts. She's told me if I walk out of the Sanctuary that it's over between us. I've asked her to come with me but she flat out refused. She's in charge of our facility and has stated without question she knows her duty is here. I think she's just afraid, but I can't blame her. I am too. I just know I can't stay here without knowing what's out there. I don't want to, but I'll have to break her heart.

I'm leaving in a week. I've started preparing supplies and where I'll go. Maybe I'll find something interesting..."
