"[sup] - That even in the darkest moments we shouldn't lose hope.[/sup][/sup][/right] [b][color=f7941d]⚘ Looking Inside[/color][/b] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Lisa's a very direct person who doesn't really like beating around the bush. She likes to tell people what's really on her mind, which admittedly often causes her more problems than benefits overall. Despite that small fact, she's always an optimist, preferring to look upon life in the glass half full kind of way. There's always something good about everything, even if it is the simple fact that things can go downhill no further. Her interaction with people usually goes between smooth because she doesn't really lie to them to stormy for the exact same reason and also because she can be one sarcastic bitch at times and she's not even subtle about it. Still there are parts of her that she doesn't show to people as much, such as the fact that she does enjoy pain a little bit too much. While not gone far enough to willingly cause herself great injuries and pain, she's not really averse to suffering some within reason. She sometimes causes herself mild pain as a habbit and hobby though. After the end of the fucking world came, it brought some changes to her as she survived in the new harsh reality. She became ever more careful in her planning and actions, tending to be on the side of precaution than anything else. She likes her plans and likes her safety to be ensured, usually by something that can blow someone's head off. On that note she also is not averse to killing people anymore. She's ready to kill anyone who proved to want her dead and no amount of begging or pleas can convince her otherwise. [color=f7941d][b]⚘ A Brief History[/b][/color] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [hider=Pre-Outbreak] [color=f7941d][b]Growing Up:[/b][/color] Lis was born in Colorado, at a town called Lake City. Her parents were firmly middle class and she had a rather average childhood and even teenage years. She didn't excel at anything special nor was she lacking in anything. She as pretty enough and smart enough, but didn't seem like she had any special talents. Some of her friends had become programmers or engineers or doctors, but she just didn't seem to click well with any of those dream occupations of theirs. Eventually she dropped out of highschool and settled to eventually getting a GED instead. While it wasn't the greatest decision according to most people she knew, she had decided it was an apt course, all thigns considering. [color=f7941d][b]Adulting:[/b][/color] With the lack of idea on where she wanted her life to go, she decided to somewhat follow in her mother's footsteps. Her mother was a housekeeper and it didn't really take long for Lisa to join into the business and first start to help out, then properly get into the business. In the end she had went a step further even and became a live in housekeeper or more or less a maid really. She did everything a maid would be doing. She was cleaning the house, washing things and so many other lovely tasks that repeated every day. It wasn't the brightest job, but she enjoyed it well enough. The uniform was nice enough and the fact she was provided with actual living space was great cause she didn't have to pay rent! All in all it was a sweet job that she didn't want to lose, especially when the market was overly saturated with foreigners. Still she did her job well enough and kept it. She even got to learn a lot of curious things in the years she spend as a maid and before that when she was helping out her mother. She learned how to use chemicals for cleaning, what to not mix and what to mix. She had also learned curious lifehacks or the so called folk remedies that could serve for everything from how to clean bad stains to how to fix certain maladies. All things learned by common people during the ages with experience and were now part of her repertoire too. At the end, despite not living a glorious highlife filled with glamour and money, she was rather content with it. She had a stable job, a nice home to live in and could enjoy her freetime as she saw fit. It was an ordinary life, but a good one. She didn't really need to or even had to ask for more. [/hider] [hider=Post-Outbreak] [color=f7941d][b]Your First Walker Encounter:[/b][/color] Lisa's first walker encounter happened at her workplace where she was a live in maid. The owner of the place she lived in, her employer had returned injured at the outbreak. Since everything back then was sort of a chaotic mad nightmare and no one quite knew what was happening aside people killing other people and the dead were rising or so the story had went. Since her employer was injured, Lisa as one of the few who had remained at the estate, had taken to helping them out. She had went to pick up the first aid kit and returned to clear and bandage their wounds. The wounds she had seen on them were incredibly nasty ones. They were human bites and by the way the man spoke, he was bitten nearly to the bone by some crazy person outside with other crazies like that also wandering. Lisa herself was taking it as a miracle that the employer had returned home with such a wound, but she was told that the hospital looked like a complete mess also. Apparently the entire town was going to hell. The man was turning delirious and feverish so she had helped him to bed and left him to rest. Come few hours later when she heard some crashing noises and she went to see what had happened, she saw her employer shuffling towards her in really unsettling manner with gaping mouth. He didn't look normal anymore and attacked her. The man had turned into a walker after dying from the infection. She struggled free, just before he can bite her and then sturck him with the closest thing at hand... which happened to be a table decoration nearby that was really pointy on one end. She had managed to pierce right through the right eye and bury it deep into his head. After that he stopped moving... [color=f7941d][b]Those First Years:[/b][/color] After the outbreak, Lisa spend a lot of time in the place she lived at since it was a well stocked mansion and had good set of walls also. She and some of the other people who had happened to be there at the outbreak spend a few weeks, a few stressful weeks while they slowly ran out of supplies and had to decide on how to progress from now on. Eventually they split into a few pairs and went out into the dangerous world in hope that they can scavenge some supplies and survive. Her partner died pretty much right away, after they got surprised by a walker in a house. Lisa did survive by escaping though. She knew her partner was already dead, they just didn't know it yet. The walker had bitten them and also stumbled them down to the ground when a few more showed up, following the sound. From there she was really careful where she scavenge, when and how. She made sure to always secure herself a way out and have a plan to escape should things turn sideway. From there on she started traveling, never standing at one place for long. She traveled a lot and settling at a few different settlements, but never stayed there for long. Mostly because many of those had absurd requirements or things there simply were going worse as time progressed. In this wrecked world, supplies were limited to only so much that you can scavange, especially when it came down to food. That said she had become adapt at cleaning water, but food was another matter. There were many supplies located at malls or warehouses, but to get there you had to usually enter parts of cities that more ofthen than not were filled with the dead. Thus she generally avoided delving too deep into big cities. On a few cases she also traveled in a group for safety, but at the end of the day, Lisa knew that she can only truly trust herself in those cases. Especially case after case when one of the people she was traveling with tries to kill the others and steal their things, her included. Or other cases when there were some people who acted like bandits. Seems like with the fall of society, humans reverted back to their primal ways. Things didn't always turn out good for her though, sometimes she was on the losing end, surviving by sheer miracle. All in all, she decided to move south east, and then head up the coast. She surmised that if there were going to survivor settlements, it was going to be near water and who knew, maybe there could be places where people lived on ships instead, being save from walker surprises at night. To her surprise she had ended up meeting a hunting party from CMB last year sometime between Holloween and Thanksgiving. As things went from there, she joined them in returning to the Camp and in her mind proved her idea that there would be indeed settlements near water. [/hider] [hider=Since Entering RP] [color=f7941d][b]Camp Mexico Beach:[/b][/color] She went through the initial evals and was given a rather cushy job(for her at least) in the Supply dept. and more precisely doing cleaning for the hospital and lab. She got the job mainly because of her prior work experience in the field of cleaning so to speak. Still to her surprise the more time she spend in those areas, she actually got more interested in it and especially pharmaceuticals. She actually seemed to have a knack for it and after a few months she began studying in that area of expertise. She spend quite a bit of her free time studying from books and the rest from Mary whenever it was possible. She actually hit it off with Mary quite well from the very start. In any case, after putting in the effort and the time, after about half an year she transfered out from the basic cleaning duty in Supply and joined Parmaceutical, helping out Mary with the job. Taking stock of the medicine, crafting drugs and salves, how to apply different medicines and so on. It tied quite nicely with her previous occupation in a way and she did quite enjoy the work process and company. [/hider] [color=f7941d][b]⚘ Relations[/b][/color] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [hider=Major][right][sub][h3][b][color=f7941d]Nikola Rose Warren [/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup]"Pff please, as if she's in the need of any encouragement." [sup]- Commenting to Ada about Nikki's readiness to steal booze [/sup][/sup][/right] Lisa's relationship with Nikki is actually quite great. She enjoys all the time she spends with the younger girl no matter what they are doing. Be it simply sitting somewhere exchanging information about interesting stuff they've seen or heard during the day, observing and joking about people or simply chilling on the beach chatting while doing something calming like playing in the sand or the like. The younger girl is someone Lisa likes a lot. Sometimes Lisa even ponders if this is what it would have been if she had a younger sibling. Lately she has taken to compare Nikki to the bunny that's the mascot of that battery manufacturer. It's oddly fitting. [right][sub][h3][b][color=00aeef]Emanuel Newman[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup] "Hey,Manny!!!" [sup]- Enthusiastic greeting.[/sup][/sup][/right] Now this was a friendship that probably shouldn't have been much of a surprise, but Lisa and Manny did click. Since their first day at work, they got along rather well and even when Lisa was moved over to the higher floors to start up a proper apprneticeship in Pharmaceuticals, she'd still do her old work whenever time allowed it or just more people were needed and with their lunch break conciding more or less, they got a lot of time to chat in those too. So without any surprise there a friendship was formed! Then Manny seemed to be getting into boats at some point and then boat puns came about. A lot of boat puns. [/hider] [hider=Minor][right][sub][h3][b][color=0072bc]Thana Martin[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup] "You know, maybe I should ask her collaboration on a stabbing manual." [sup]- Lisa thinking to herself.[/sup][/sup][/right] Thana and Lisa actually get along well enough. Met and interracted while she was helping Thana with her meds for her recuperation from her injuries. Lisa has to admit she might have been a tad too interested in Thana's state and the degrees of her pain and that could have been the reason for their slight tension between them. Still afterwards they got along well enough in the occasional times they've had any interractions. [right][sub][h3][b][color=4682B4]Ashton Holloway[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup] "Ahhh reconnection of old flames. They make cute couple!." [sup]- Lisa describing Ash and Thana.[/sup][/sup][/right] She hasn't had much reasons to chat up Ash besides curiosity and greetings here and there. Still given he's Thana's boytoy... or more like proper boyfriend, he looks good enough sort and he had managed to keep his own group of survivors together and going through some serious shit and that in Lisa's book is worthy enough of respect. [right][sub][h3][b][color=crimson]Thalia Carmichael[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup] "Holy hell, I like her." [sup]- Her overwhelmingly positive reaction upon her first meetign with Thalia.[/sup][/sup][/right] Lisa fucking likes THalia and her general attitude. It just clicked with her from the very first meeting and while Thalia's attitude is very standoffish and maybe it was something Lisa said, she's not sure, but she does like the woman. Her reactions are fun and she is planning on going out of her way so they can interract more for whatever outcomes comes out of it, she does hope they buddy up eventually. She'd enjoy having Thalia as a friend. [right][sub][h3][b][color=#B8860B]Nigel Cooper[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup] "Ohh yeah Centurion guy" [sup]- How Lisa recalls Nigel[/sup][/sup][/right] Nothing much to be said on their relationship if one even exists really. They've barely spoken to each other, but nothing really hostile is happening between them either. She finds him as a curious anomaly more than anything and would probably enjoy to get to know him eventually. [right][sub][h3][b][color=00a651]Hunter Monroe[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup] "He's magnificen, I can watch his antics for a whole day and not get bored." [sup]- Lisa's opinion on Hunter and his almost drama worthy experiences so far.[/sup][/sup][/right] Lisa doesn't really have much interractions directly with hunter. She knows him of course, at this point there's no person in the camp who doesn't. Still in difference from most people in camp, she actually likes him in her own and weird way. She loves all things human and stupid and his antics and the negative consequences that followed are like a playbook of greek tragedies. Everything he has done so far usually ends in disaster. Still she's gotten to chat with him some at Medical when they cross paths briefly after his... forced temporary confinmed and public service work, since his dog now lives with her and Nikki and she knows he'd appreciate some updates now and then. [right][sub][h3][b][color=8dc73f]Amelia Payne[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup] "Cute couple number two~ in fact might be more adorable than Thana and Ash" [sup]- Lisa describing Riley and Amelia.[/sup][/sup][/right] Amelia and Riley are the second new couple that arrived with the lastest batch of people. Both were rather adorable and together they made for a very nice on the eye pairing that gives in Lisa's eyes this innocent puppy air about them. Still she knows they've seen some serious shit happening before they arrived. Given everything she loosely knew of how they got to CMB and from where they started. Now with Amelia especially she does like hte girl, she's a bit too shy and quiet, but once you get to know her, Amelia seems to loosen up somewhat. They've chatted here and there and are on good terms overall. What makes her most curious however is Amelia's really curious talent of calculating some rather exotic problems and equations silently in her mind. THAT she could really put to use with her traps and not everybody knew it, but Amelia has a really mean swing on her if you give her a proper weapon to use.
