[hider=James Morgan] [center] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [img]http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g385/fatboykyle/rsz_michael-mosley-photo_zpslyohq1ft.jpg[/img] [i]James is a Caucasian male that stands at 6ft1. He is of stocky build, weighing around 14st (give or take a few pounds). He is physically fit and of above average strength and stamina. He tends to sport a crew cut and has dark brown hair, however it has started to grow out. He has dark hazel eyes. (As in the photo) James wears a white shirt beneath a grey hoody and an old leather jacket that belonged to his father. He’s also wearing some newish jeans that are dark grey in colour, and some black boots. James has some old aviators that he’ll wear if its sunny.[/i] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]Full Name[/U]】 [I]James Morgan[/I] 【[U]Nickname[/U]】 [I](Hasn’t got one at the moment)[/I] 【[U]Gender[/U]】 [I]Male[/I] 【[U]Age[/U]】 [I]21[/I] 【[U]Sexuality[/U]】 [I]Straight[/I] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]Personality[/U]】 [I]James was always the laid-back optimistic type, not often voicing his opinions unless asked and only offering reassuring ones when he did. Whether this survived the outbreak however remains to be seen. He is quite confident and not easily offended, although he will not hesitate to take action if someone is intimidating him or if he sees something he really doesn't agree with.[/I] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]Background[/U]】 [I]James was born in Derby (UK) as the only child of publicans James (senior) and Francesca Morgan. Through his teens he was endued with the promise that he would work in the family pub, The King’s Sword, and eventually inherit it when he was older. Living above the pub he became used to the life and atmosphere surrounding it, and some of his happiest memories were of him and his father doing work on the place (they were very much DIY orientated). After high school James, despite intending to work in the pub, went to college where he studied History, Sociology, Creative Writing and Security. He had always had a great interest in ancient history and loved to read about ancient Rome and write alternative fiction in his spare time. Sociology he took because he heard it was easy, but actually found he quite liked it. And he took Security because he thought it might be handy given his bar work; he actually went on to get his security license and is therefore a security guard for the pub as well (if nothing else it makes the place look more professional and lowers their insurance). Whilst in college James fell in love with a girl named Carly. After hearing she was into boxing James took the sport up himself to get her attention, and it worked. He never really took part in competitions, but he kept up the practice because he knew Carly found it attractive. About five months ago (after four years of going out) James proposed to Carly and she moved in with him above the pub. At that point James’ parents had moved out into a nicer house on the edge of Derby. When the outbreak occurred James and Carly were vacationing in New York, and he was quickly separated from her. For the first few months he was part of a small group that survived in a small apartment building. However these small groups never seem to last, and it only took one night watch to fall asleep for the whole group to be torn apart. James was pretty sure he wasn't the sole survivor but he never saw any of the others again. Since then he's been mostly on the move, never really staying in one place for more than a few days. The only survivors that he ever comes across tend to be raiders and the like, and so he tends to be cautious about meeting new folk.[/I] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]Unique Abilities[/U]】 [I]James makes a good bartender and can mix a small variety of drinks. He is fairly at DIY, especially where woodwork is concerned. He also knows how to ride a motorbike. None of these are really unique abilities, but he hasn’t much else to bring to the table.[/I] 【[U]Knowledge of Combat[/U]】 [I]James is a fairly decent boxer, and because of his security training he knows some self-defence techniques (including restraints). In the months since the outbreak he has become fairly adept at using his machete and shield, and so prefers to fight in close confined quarters.[/I] 【[U]Weapons[/U]】 [I]A machete and a police riot shield, both of which he scavenged of corpses. He hasn’t bothered to keep hold of any guns yet because he doesn’t really know how to use one (outside of video games) and knows that gunfire is likely to attract unwanted attention.[/I] 【[U]Equipment[/U]】 [I]A bottle of absinthe; a wind up torch; a couple of cans of beans; a stab can opener; a plastic spork; a phone with no battery left; an umbrella; and [url=http://www.givi.co.uk/soft-bags/Tank-Bags/XS312]a small backpack tailored for bikers[/url].[/I] 【[U]Conditions[/U]】 [I]He cannot swim, although he is very good at flailing in the water.[/I] [/center][/hider]
