—AK threatening Ryguy after capturing Nick, Cory and Uni

AK is a main character in SGCBarbierian's The Crafting Dead Roleplay. He appears to be very hostile while meeting Nick and Ghetto for the first, but later he joined Nick's group in hopes of saving Jordan, therefore becoming a prominent member of the Group.

Overview

AK was the best shot and most accurate and skilled marksman in the group. He owned a ship at Seaport and was among the last people to leave it. While at Seaport, he kidnapped Ghetto and held him hostage. Eventually, Nick snuck onto his ship, freed Ghetto, and got off undetected. Later, AK returned to capture Jordan and promised he would give him back only if Nick and Ghetto repaired his ship. While Nick and Ghetto were off getting the supplies, he escaped from Seaport on a different ship with Jordan. AK and Jordan made it to Greenfield, and Jordan was later captured by Red. After Nick and Ghetto made it to Greenfield, they ran into AK, who joined their group in hopes of getting Jordan back.

Personality

AK was a generally reasonable and rational person but was also known to be coarse towards the other survivors on occasions, alongside having a violent streak. He seemed to keep a lot of things and emotions to himself. It was implied that he possibly cared about Jordan, and was hurt by his death, but he never showed it.

Pre-Apocalypse

Before the apocalypse, AK lived in Seaport. Along with being an admirable marksman, it was revealed that he was a helicopter pilot for the Black Ops for at least ten years. He flew troops to where they needed to go and dropped them off. He also most likely had training as a boat navigator, as he owned a ship. He also revealed that he knew Jordan long before the apocalypse even started.

Post-Apocalypse

YouTube Channel

A few episodes are uploaded to the actor's channel, depicting his point of view before and after meeting Nick and Ghetto. He at one point killed and ate his friend due to losing sanity from starvation. It is unconfirmed if he regrets these actions later.

Season 1

While at Seaport, AK took on the role of being the main antagonist after he took Ghetto hostage on his ship. Nick eventually came to Ghetto's rescue, sneaking onto AK's ship, and getting off undetected, liberating Ghetto. AK presumably found out and went to get his revenge, and found Nick, Ghetto, and Jordan while they were on a supply run. They started chasing him, so he led them to a building, and after they put Jordan in the sniper position and went through the lobby to the roof, AK presumably hid in the lobby and escaped through a different exit. He then went around the bank and kidnapped Jordan. The next day, when Nick and Ghetto went to the shipyard in hopes of finding AK to get Jordan back, Ghetto watched the shipyard from the crane, and Nick went to the windmill. Nick spotted AK, and immediately came down, and corned him with Ghetto. He then cuffed him and began discussing with Ghetto what they should do with him. AK told them that the military is dropping a nuke on Seaport in order to get rid of the walkers there and that they needed to get out. Nick and Ghetto told him that all they wanted was to get Jordan back and get off the island, so AK proposed a trade. He convinced them that his ship was broken, and said that if they get the supplies and repair his ship for him, that he'll give them Jordan back. Nick and Ghetto agree, and Ghetto locks him up. While they're on the supply run, AK manages to break out and leaves Seaport with Jordan on another ship.

Season 2

AK, as he appears in Season 2

AK doesn't make an appearance until the last few episodes of the season. Prior to leaving Seaport, AK and Jordan arrive in Greenfield. They begin to construct a strong friendship, and Jordan is later taken hostage by Red. AK does his best to get Jordan back, and while he's getting supplies from a building, he runs into Nick and Ghetto, who are out trying to find Shark. At first Nick and Ghetto both want to kill him on the spot, but AK tells them about Jordan and tells them that since they all care about getting them back, it's best if they team up. Nick and Ghetto are uneasy about it, but they agree. AK joins the group. Nick, Ghetto, and AK return to the base, and they find Shark there. AK and Shark meet, and AK is given his own room. The next day, when the four of them initiate their plan to get Jordan back, AK is elected the designated sniper, along with Shark, and they watch Red's base from afar, while Nick and Ghetto charge in and rescue Jordan. Nick and Ghetto make it back to the base with Jordan, and Ghetto later goes back to get Shark and AK the next day. Once they arrive back at the base, the four have a brief conversation, and AK and Ghetto begin to head to the building to feed Louis, as the season ends.

Season 3

During the explosion scene when Jordan is killed, AK was seen trying to scope out the person who did it. Later, at the funeral, AK says some caring words but is obviously hiding feelings. Following Jordan's death, AK does not make an appearance until Friend or Foe, when Nick and Ghetto come back from meeting Jess. When Major Gray arrives, and they go to the military checkpoint, AK recalls that Greenfield is marked for Napalm, like Seaport was. When the group returns to the base, AK remarks about taking Ghetto's peaches, and the episode ends. AK and the crew escort Major Gray to his camp in Greenfield where they find a message from Private Sanders that the city is going to be napalmed. Then they go back to their apartment base.

Season 12

He appears at the last episode during the Strangers attack on the CDC along with Major Gray, Bobby, Uni and Doctor Jin. When Major Gray says they should help Red's men fight off the zombies and Strangers, AK says it would be suicide to go out and fight but Major Gray says that if you don't help Red's men would die. That convinces AK and all of them go out to fight the attackers.

Season 13

It is mentioned by Professor X that AK, along with Bobby and Major Gray, died while trying to protect the CDC. However it's not officially confirmed if they really did die or possibly they survived, due to Professor X stating the truth, he might have imagined it or was hallucinating due to the head injury he sustained during the attack.

Trivia

• As AK knows how to fly a helicopter, navigate a boat and is an expert marksman (he is also shown to take on the role of a sniper.), it is more than likely that AK has learned these skills while in Black Ops.
• AK is well known for choosing the AK-47 and, as of recent, the AKM as his weapons for the apocalypse, likely due to him serving in Black Ops.
• AK could be referring to the CIA SAD group, the paramilitary branch of the CIA and was more than likely part of the Air Branch. As one of the requirements needed to become apart of the SAD group, a bachelor's degree is needed, meaning AK is very intelligent in a field of study.
