small tidbits of information on characters cause why not
specifically caiman

caiman was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. when he adopted Louise she didn’t have a name besides her last name, so he named her after where he was born. It was either that or Orleans.
also another thing about his character is that his occupation before the apocalypse isn’t clear, but i’ve decided on something
he was the manager of a coffee shop and he doubled as a barista
it keeps bugging me that i said he was shit like a black market dealer or a hired gun
nah, he was a barista

the species caiman is and other characters, called gators, can live for 200+ plus years
Caspiaths have been renamed to Lythuaphs, and they live for around 150+ years

the draugr’s infection is fungally based
most plants go toward the sun, but the fungi thrives in the dark and only grows in dark environments, it uses the skin of it’s host to hide underneath, but that doesn’t do much to protect it
In sun or in uv light it only takes five minutes for an infected to be stripped of it’s skin, and it’s alive for most of it, that is until the fungi dies
