Drake Holloway

[braveoff]

1. Before becoming a zombie, Drake hated spicy food.

2. His father was abusive and left them when he was young, but in general his mother has atrocious taste in men. Most of her boyfriends were violent assholes as well. Drake didn't just take it, though. He'd fight back to protect them both and that actually drove several away.

3. He's a total mama's boy and speaks to her 2-3 times a day.

4. Though he tried team sports in school, they never clicked. Drake is, however, well versed in several martial arts. I personally don't know shit about rankings but he holds the highest belts in most of the disciplines he's tried.

5. He actually made friends in prison, and keeps in contact with them now despite having turned around and become a cop. He knows a lot of criminals. This sometimes gets him into trouble.

6. Drake went into undercover work because it sounded exciting and he thought he could make more of a difference that way -- the latter is the only reason he sticks with it. It's ruined his life.

7. As a kid he managed to take in a stray dog and hide it from his mom for a full week. That's the only pet he's ever had, though these days his mom has a cat he's fond of.

8. The actor has a tattoo of a celtic-knotted bear claw on his right upper arm that they didn't cover for the role despite covering his others, so I say that his mother is of Scottish descent and Holloway was his father's last name.

9. He can knit.

10. He's very handy, always has been but took the opportunity in prison to take some actual courses in plumbing and electrical. Every now and then he puts the skills to use working on charity builds, but doesn't have much time for that sort of thing anymore.

11. In relationships Drake's somehow always been the dump-ee, never the dump-er.

12. After Frank, Drake realized he had a lot of pent up anger he had to deal with. He made it his mission to let go of that, so he'd never snap again. These days he's exceptionally good at keeping a cool head even in a dire situation, and will always try to talk his way out of a fight first. He hates that zombie mode messes with that but has accepted that if it kicks in he probably really had no choice besides the fight.

13. Despite being involved in many shootouts, Drake's never shot anyone himself.

14. He learned to drive at 14 and did so illegally all the time until he got his license. Never got caught.

15. One of his cover jobs is as a bouncer at a bar, which is hilarious because he personally has no taste for alcohol. Give him the cheapest shit there is, it's all gross and he honestly can't tell the difference. But he's also observant enough he's picked up how to mix drinks. He just doesn't usually bother.

Bless this sweet, knitting mama's boy.

yeah he doesn't actually ever knit anymore, just knows how because he learned when his mom did. (she's TERRIBLE at it btw.) probably made a couple of half-decent scarves?
