[Mr_pink]

Sorry, I won't be finishing my app today as I've become incredibly ill, if it persists I'll probably drop out to avoid slowing it down for anyone, but I should be fine by tomorrow I hope.

@Mr_pink

Thanks for letting us know!
I'm very sorry to hear you are sick :(

We are in no rush for now- so just rest up!
There is always time for you to join at a later time in the roleplay if things persist.

@Mr_pink

Well that sucks Mr_Pink, I hope you get to feeling better soon! It's like Tori said, there's always room for you to join in if you *do* have to drop out!

Awesome work so far guys!

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Elvenoff

You're accepted! Post your character in the bin when ready!

[StarWight]

Ooh, very interesting character so far!
(: Loving that we are getting all ages and personalities.

----

Towards everyone;

If any of you want to have previous relationships with any other characters that have applied- speak up with one another! The roleplay will be starting in Virginia which has been made into a state that is controlled by a very strong leader who wants anyone who isn't in his group- DEAD.

(This will be one of the first obstacles we have to overcome as a group- along with the langue)

Think of where your character would be in this situation as we start to get closer to the IC-

Would you be new to Virginia like Len and Iris?
Would you have spent your time hiding from this leader and his minions?
Are you a member who is trying to escape the tyrant of the group?

(: Things to consider as well!

@MissCapnCrunch

Thanks Tori, well said :)

Also, I agree, awesome characters so far, this looks to be an excellent RP. Couldn't be happier that I'm jumping back in the game with this particular RP, it looks promising with the CS I'm seeing! And of course with the best co gm someone could ask for :p

[Mr_pink]

Sorry but I've gotta drop out of this.

[StarWight]

That's okay, Mr. pink. Sorry to see you go, I hope you get better soon!

My Hider

Please use real photo for your appearance!

Name: Alex "Rocket" Jones

Age: Fourteen

Personality:

Positive:

Perceptive: Being born and raised in a time where anything can and will kill you, she has a pretty good sense of sight and hearing.

Youthful: No fear of achey backs or tired legs here!

Adaptive: Alex is good at changing plans at the drop of a dime, and she is pretty good at hiding in small spaces.

Cooperative: Once she trusts you, she has no problem working with others or even taking orders from others.

Friendly: Most of the time, Alex seems to lack any mean bones in her body.

Negative:

Uneducated: In a traditional sense. Alex's ability to count, spell and read are extremely limited.

Small: Alex is petite, meaning it's easier to pick her up and push her over.

Untrusting: She has no need to trust strangers, or even people she has known for a short amount of time. She will always assume these people are out to hurt her.

Thievish: Alex has a tendency to steal and horde. This could be anything from food and supplies to rocks. Having piles of stuff makes her feel secure.

Timid: Alex is a hard nut to crack when it comes to social interaction. She would rather keep quiet and hide then cling to people.

Biography: Alex's upbringing was anything but nurturing. She was born of an unfortunate woman and some unfortunate experiences with a man. It would have made sense for her to die before she was born, or maybe shortly after, but the pack of scavengers couldn't help but see the value in a newborn. It was easy, set down the crying child and let some good samaritans run over and try to save her. And then they get robbed, murdered and scattered and the cycle continues. And when Alex was old enough to walk and talk it was even easier. She would hobble over to a group of survivors, eyes all wide and sad, and beg for food. And then her much larger and more violent caretakers would seal the deal.

Alex's birth mother was allowed to do the feeding and cleaning of Alex while she was an infant, but as soon as Alex was old enough and capable enough to walk on her own the scavengers killed her mother. Right in front of Alex. As a way to show the difference between weakness and strength. A lesson, the first of many. Alex figured this was all there was to life, but it didn't seem all that bad. Any time she questioned her groups leader she would be given food or a shiny object to keep her mouth shut. And with this her hoarding problem began. While Alex struggled to learn the value of mercy, instead learning the value of 'What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine', she also learned skills vital to her survival. The world was a cruel place, and it was particularly cruel to a young girl, and her survival wouldn't be handed to her on a silver platter.

Once she was ten years old she really began her career as a scavenger. Having small hands and body was useful when it came to digging through piles of rubble. What she didn't like was the killing, at this point she was starting to understand what her group was doing, but questioned nothing. This was just the way life was meant to be lived. But nothing lasted forever, especially human life. One day, while scavenging through an old trailer park, a Langue got the jump on her group, snapping up and killing everyone, except for Alex who was able to wedge herself into a cupboard.

Alex stayed in that cupboard long after she knew the coast was clear. She wasn't sure what to do or how to feel. Her entire group was gone, killed. And while they were never gentle with each other it was the closest Alex had to a family. This was also the first time Alex was ever without a leader. Sure people had died in the past, but this was Alex's first time being completely alone. She had been left to make her own choices from now on. All of this new found freedom scared Alex, but she decided to continue in what her old group was doing. Traveling to Maine.

Relationships:

So sorry about taking so long, will have mine up soon, some stuff happened in life :)@MissCapnCrunch

@Chocobo

I totally understand (: No worries at all!

[StarWight]

Excellent character Dragonbud! You say the bio was rushed, but I found it really interesting to read, and I think yours will be a fun addition to the RP! Your character is accepted, you can now post her in the CS section :D

Just don't forget to add a char pic :)

[Chocobo]

Name: Kara Roberts

Age: 23

Personality:
+Kind hearted
+Strong willed
+Dexterous
+Smart
+Quick Thinker

-Bad with weapons
-Afraid of close quarters combat
-Emotional
-Haunted by memories
-Generally avoids combat

Biography: Kara was born into a survivor camp just north of Virginia, the camp welcomed anybody it could find. 16 years after her birth a power struggle began in the camp, it was split into two halves. One half consisted of those who wanted survival over all else, wanting to remove the weak from the camp. The other half being the opposite, keeping other people alive, able bodied or not.

Kara found herself as an ambassador between the two groups, helping to resolve the struggle. Fights broke out between the two groups and many people died, until eventually the strong left, leaving Kara in a group with the weak. Kara managed to keep this group going for 7 years, drawing in more and more members. At the age of 16 she met a girl called Anna, the two quickly became lovers.

Some of the more powerful members of the group heard about the relationship between Kara and Anna and urged that it be stopped, claiming "If the women get together, no children will be born and the future will be lost". Kara understood this but loved Anna too much to stop, they were quickly kicked out from the group and forced to survive on their own.

Kara and Anna began heading south towards Virginia, it was their only hope of survival, there must be something there for them. But as they entered Virginia tragedy struck. Kara and Anna were attacked by the langue, and Anna sacrificed herself to save Kara.
Now she wanders alone, hoping to find somebody, anybody.

Relationships: Anna (deceased): Kara's lover for 7 years, murdered by a langue
James and Sharon (deceased: Kara's parents, died shortly after her birth.
