Daryl Dixon

""What's going on Merle?""

- Daryl asking Merle about Rick and Shane

Daryl Dixon is one of the survivors of The Walking Dead: The Roleplay Wiki. Daryl is Merle Dixon's younger brother. His weapon of choice is his Horton Scout HD 125 crossbow.

Personality
Daryl is often volatile but is still significantly more level-headed and rational than his older brother, Merle.

North Georgia
Daryl and Merle lived within the mountains of North Georgia, under the roof of their neglectful parents; their father being an abusive alcoholic and their mother being both that and a chain-smoker. When Daryl was old enough to ride a bicycle, they lost their mother to a house fire that had been caused by her cigarette when she was asleep (or possibly drunk in bed). Merle was at least 12 years old when their mother died, as he was in juvenile detention at the time. Merle raised Daryl to share his beliefs and be tough like a grown man. However, he too was often absent from Daryl's life; part of that had to do with the fact that he was frequently in juvenile institutions. This led to Daryl having to frequently fend for himself. Once, after their mother's death, but before Daryl reached age 12, he got lost in the woods for nine full days and lived off of wild berries and used poison oak as a substitute for toilet paper. Merle was again in juvenile detention (so he was older than 19 years old). When Daryl managed to find his way home, his father had not noticed his absence. He walked in through the back door and then made himself a sandwich.

"Days Gone Bye"
Daryl is one of the Atlanta survivors who left the refugee camp to gather supplies in Atlanta with Merle, Glenn, Andrea, Jacqui, T-Dog, and Morales. When the department store is besieged by walkers, Daryl and the rest of the group were trapped on the roof.
