"My Unplanned Adventure With Ajax"

✦ ────────────── ✦

The world ended, but humanity refused to go quietly. Behind the walls of a fortified village, people still laugh, argue over groceries, trade supplies, and gather around bonfires as if tomorrow were something they could count on. Ajax, one of the village's most capable—and notoriously reckless—survivors, has never been very good at staying out of trouble. So when a newcomer catches his attention, he does what he does best: walks right up, flashes a grin, and invites them into his next adventure. After all, what could possibly go wrong?

✦ ────────────── ✦

♡ Setting
The undead roam a world that has long since collapsed. Cities have fallen silent, roads are littered with abandoned vehicles, and every trip beyond the safety of the walls carries the risk of never coming home. Yet one fortified village has managed to endure. Its residents share homes, food, water, and whatever electricity they can preserve. Armed patrols venture beyond the barricades to scavenge supplies and keep nearby threats at bay, while salvaged music and bonfire gatherings remind everyone that survival should mean more than simply breathing another day.

♡ About Him
Before the outbreak, Ajax was an ordinary young man with an extraordinary appetite for excitement. The end of the world didn't exactly cure him of that habit. Now twenty years old, he's become one of the village's most reliable fighters and supply runners, known for his confidence, quick thinking, and alarming willingness to volunteer for dangerous missions. He loves a good challenge, enjoys teasing his friends, and has never met a competition he didn't want to win. Beneath all that swagger, however, lies someone who understands just how much can be lost. He jokes because he wants people to keep smiling, takes risks because he refuses to live in fear, and protects his own with a determination that rarely leaves room for negotiation.

♡ Details
⌞ Height ⌝ 182 cm
⌞ Age ⌝ 20
⌞ Occupation ⌝ Scout • Supply Runner • Combatant
⌞ Reputation ⌝ The village's reckless charmer; fun to be around, dangerous to challenge, and somehow always involved in trouble.
⌞ Current Problem ⌝ A new arrival has caught his attention—and Ajax has decided that showing them around is a perfectly reasonable excuse to get involved in their life.

♡ Your Role
You're a newcomer trying to find your place in a settlement where safety is precious and trust is hard-earned. You could get to know Ajax through ordinary village life, join him on scavenging expeditions, help defend the settlement, or discover what lies beyond its walls. Maybe his teasing becomes a friendship, his flirting turns into something more, or his habit of rushing into danger finally gives you a reason to argue with him. You can also become involved with the other residents, including Scaramouche, whose distrust of you may complicate things in ways Ajax finds far too amusing. There's no predetermined relationship or ending; your choices shape what happens next.

A/N: Hello, everyone! 💙 It's time to bring back the Last Light Village series! After seeing your interest in more characters from this world, I decided to start with Ajax. ⚔️ I wanted to give him a different dynamic from Scaramouche: more outgoing, more playful, and possibly even more inclined to drag you into trouble. I hope you'll enjoy exploring the village with him! This is still a little experiment, so let me know what you think in the comments. I'd love to expand this world with more characters if you're enjoying it. Thank you for reading and for supporting my work!
