He is also a very good medic. Weapon (up three): He has a machete and a scythe. Personality : He's not a very nice person at all, he is usually rude and uninterested towards anyone and won't show any compassion at killing you if turn into a zombie. But other than that he's a very trustworthy person, one of the greatest things he learned when serving the army. Brief Bio : Jack had served the U.S army for more than twenty years. He started as a simple medic, inside a tent and treating and curing every soldier that was sent injuried into his workplace. However, fifteen years working as a medic twisted his mind a little, and he developed a craving to see how people where sent there, why their flesh failed to stop the bullets or how it broke from the edge of a knife. He was sent on a mission to the south-american jungle to treat with some terrorists. There, he met his best friend, Benny. He was a person Jack felt like he was really comfortable with. Benny had two sons, and he had to go back home. It was actually his last mission. However, in the middle of the mission, they were ambushed in a corn-field, and one of their troopers stepped on a land-mine, detonating it and sending everyone into the air. The terrorists were alerted and a slaughter started with Jack unconscious and on the verge of dying. When he woke up, the dead corpse of Benny laid next to him, his eyes open and showing how life had escaped them. Fueled with rage and anger, he stood up and grabbed a sickle he found around and proceeded to kill the remaining terrorist who were unaware of the stealth menace they were facing. Since then, he was deemed "Mr. Grimm" by the army itself, and he was discharged for mental insanity. Shortly after he came back home, he found a skeleton in a hospital whose skull was suspiciously particular to Benny's, so in honor to his deceased partner, he stole the skull stitched it to his head to show how sorry he is for his death. Now, he just roams the the wastelands of the ravaged city with the bloodied skull on his head, still believing the skull is actually his friend's one. "They say human mind bends and twists in order to deal with problems of life...I think my mind bend so much it snapped in two."[/hider] [hider=James Feryana = datadoggie] Name : James Feryana Age : 14 Skill : James is a really good liar, and is good at escaping things.

James is a really shy and fearful person, who is made upset easily and easily cries. He is also really good liar, and tells lies to get himself out of things. Unfortunately, when you lie, this can lead to future consequences if the truth is revealed... Brief Bio : James was a student at school. He always lied, and he always got out of things. When the walkers came, James was at home by himself. His front door was knocked down, so James took a sharp knife and ran out the back. He doesn't know what happened to his parents, but he suspects that they are dead.[/hider] Jon Evans = Ridlins - DEAD Jack 'Sully' Sullam = gowia - DEAD [hider= Rob O'Dara = xcalx1dw] Name : Rob O'Dara Age : 24 Skill : Cooking Weapon (up three): Good old baseball bat, and a large knife Personality : Is somewhat friendly to people who he somewhat knows on the outside, but is still wary with people, which of course he won't tell them. He does try to get people to be friendly, seeing as it can help him and probably the person who's he is talking to. However, while he may be friendly, if you get bitten, he won't hesitate to kill you. Brief Bio : Parents of farmers, Rob opened up a small café with his brother, after the outbreak, he was separated from his brother. Wandering around, he tried to find him. Eventually he just gave up, surviving becoming the main priority.

Hunting. Bowman. Brawling. Weapon (up three): Recurve Bow. Arrows. Trench Knife. Personality: Floyd doesn't like getting told what to do, due to some past experiences with his father. He's more of a lonesome person and prefers working alone, seeing other people as a hassle and hard to work with. Though he is volatile, he is more level-headed than most people in the present situation. Though he's mainly distant, he still holds deep care for many of the people he's interacted with. He's not as selfless as he acts. Brief Bio : After his mother passed away, Floyd moved in with his father, who had been divorced for more than three years. At the time, Floyd was nineteen years old, absent of thought for the situation, he really didn't care, but soon would. His father didn't care about Floyd, he saw him as a responsibility he had no choice but to partake in. Interaction between them was scant. Because Floyd was unable to get a job outside his father's farm, he lived there until he was twenty three. His father passed away three months after Floyd's birthday. Floyd could not maintain the farm and was stripped of it by local tax collectors and such. With the remaining money, he moved to New Orleans living in a small cabin near the woods. Without money, he could not buy food, therefore fell back on his crop work along with his hunting skills. He stole a bow and arrow from a local hunting supply store. He got to New Orleans on an old bobber his father had fixed about a year before he passed. He sold it to a pre-owned vehicle shop for two grand. Living alone for years was difficult but worthwhile. He made a friend, Elijah, a local from New Orleans who helped Floyd get settled. It wasn't long before Elijah moved to Houston, the big city, and resumed a life with his pharmacist of a girlfriend. She had cheated on her five year relationship to be with him. "Freaken wh*re." Anyhow, once the breakout occurred, it seemed that the traffic of the cities moved into the woods. Walkers roamed the countryside as if it were the big city. Floyd had no option but to move on, scattering what he could and entering the dead zone, which was the city of New Orleans.[/hider] hider=Samantha Baxter = Dredigan - DEAD Holly = bravewolfd - DEAD Tom 'Tommy' Brown = whyapac - DEAD. [hider=Shannon Green = Atomyk] Name : Shannon Greene Age : 22 Appearance : She's a bit tall and slender for her age. She's about average weight for her height though, and she's got slightly toned legs/upper body through a regular workout she has. Most apparent about Shannon is her thick blond hair. This is largely from her mother, though a touch of her father's brown wavy hair can be seen in the color of her own. Unlike her mother, who wears her hair far past her shoulders, Shannon chooses to keep her hair at shoulder length, or not much further beyond that. Her skin is rather pale and she tends to burn rather than tan when exposed to the sun. She has green eyes that are specked with brown, but aren't particularly striking in much way. Skill : Shannon likes to be athletic, and runs almost every day. She loves to look her best, and almost always eats healthy. She's also big into fashion, hoping to be a designer when she is older. Shannon is very good with her hands and has a good sense of technology/machinery. Her father always kept her informed of the kind of trinkets she worked with, and Shannon would often become pretty interested in his work. Weapons: - Knife (No serrated edge) - 9mm pistol (little ammo) Personality : Shannon has been described as "Perky and optimistic", which is quite the contrast when compared to her surly best friend, Danny. She has a sunny disposition most of the time, and tends to bottle her negative emotions away. It's because of this that Shannon isn't a big fan of drama. When people don't get along, it tends to get on her nerves. This is most apparent with her friend, Danny, who is a bit too surly sometimes for her liking. With most people, Shannon is perhaps a bit too agreeable, willing to stop what she is doing to go along with what she believes will make someone happy. The only person she tends to disagree with is Danny. Shannon fears not being important to anybody. She has a strong desire to be on good terms with people. After the apocalypse started and Shannon found herself separated from everyone she cared about, her personality took a hit. The sunny disposition she was known for was now buried under some heavy sadness and hopelessness. Bio : Shannon was an only child, born to two parents who never desired to have more than one child. Her father worked as a mechanic for as long as Shannon could remember, and her mom had always been in and out of waitress jobs. She stayed familiar with her parent's work, developing an interest in machines and technology from her father. When Shannon was in grade school, she met Daniel Heidecker, who she would always poke fun at. It wasn't until they were almost in high school that they became close. Danny was a bit less grumpy when he was younger and more accepting of the bubbly kind of person Shannon was. She liked to smile, always liked to smile. Her cheerful demeanor tended to rub off on her friends (even Danny, occasionally). Danny quickly became her closest friend, visiting her and hanging out with her whenever he could get a spare moment. However, Danny eventually became more closed off from others as time went on, and soon Shannon and her family were the few people he associated with. When Danny became estranged from his own family, he went to live with Shannon and her family. After high school, the pair moved to a different state to live with Shannon's pen-pal, Monica. When the apocalypse started, Shannon lost her sometimes-kind-of boyfriend Brandon in the initial aftermath and she was forced to separate from her friend Monica. While attempting to get back to her parents, Shannon found herself separated from Danny as well. This greatly affected Shannon, who lost hope in getting in contact with her family. She's fallen in and out with various groups since then. [/hider] [hider=Aleck and Gwen Wyrde = riprofsuls] Name : Aleck and Gwen Wyrde Age : 17f and 18m Skill : Aleck... Strategist - He is a great planner, he has plans for his plans and backup plans for his backup plans that are for his backup plans. Quiet Berserker - When the fighting needs to be fought he fights to kill. He is so focused that he doesn't make a single sound as he hacks and slashes away at his enemies. Gwen... Housewife - They were alone growing up, their parents both had very busy office jobs, in turn Gwen became, in a way, Aleck's mother. Thus she learned to cook, clean, and the all important fussing. She's good at keeping track of inventory and has a grade A mathematician mind. Weapon: Aleck Hand and a Half Sword - (I have one, pretty cheap and it is combat durable) Father's Dual Colt Pythons - Due to being an heirloom his father kept the guns in a glass case and only had the display's twenty rounds plus the five in the revolver. Gwen None - has a dislike for blood and violence. Personality : Aleck: ADHD and psychologically different. His morals and ideals are not average, he was born with a lack of emotional strength in the sense that his emotions are weak, while he may show surface emotion deep down he's always bored unless he is doing something he considers extremely enjoyable. His sister is his moral anchor, everything he considers to be right and wrong revolve around her, meaning that if she approves of something he is fine with it if she isn't then he will consider it a "bad" thing for values of her displeasure. Gwen: She has a strong motherly instinct, though Aleck is not her real brother they were together since before either had permanent memory, it is their close upbringing and his reliance on her that developed her maturity and motherly nature. Though Aleck can be mature, strong, and very intelligent he is by nature a child at heart in her eyes. He always has a goofy grin that makes him look like a troublemaker child and she often has to scold him. Brief Bio : Aleck and Gwen are not real siblings, they were both adopted into the family so neither is even related to their "parents". They were both at home when things went down the crapper. They bunkered down and survived the initial first month when things were real bad but after a whole things started to cool down and Aleck began venturing out to find food and other essentials.[/hider] Enrique Ortiz = HellHoundWoof - DEAD [hider=Polyester Homes = Bobby Barrows] Name :Polyester Homes Age :25 Skill : Polyester excels at engineering and electronics and is passable in firearms, but does not have enough strength to effectively use heavy weapons.

Her mother died four years before the outbreak, and her dead went with the first wave of Walkers. Not being very good at moving on, she often feels hopeless and helpless against the world. She believes that since the apocalyptic world could take someone as strong as her dad, she feels very doubtful about her chances of survival.[/hider] For some reason the pics are not coming up when I try to transfer the characters to this section, so make sure you read each one carefully or look through the OOC thread for pics of the characters.
