[color=#71BC78][b]Full Name:[/b][/color] Jade Davis
[color=#71BC78][b]Nickname(s):[/b][/color] None.
[color=#71BC78][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Female

[color=#71BC78][b]Age:[/b][/color] 27
[color=#71BC78][b]Birthday:[/b][/color] July 23rd


[color=#71BC78][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Jade generally has a poor grasp on reality. What most would see as an apocalypse has become nothing more than entertainment for her. Hunting raptors, whom she finds as an intelligent as an ordinary human, has since become her favorite occupation and hobby. Logic games and puzzle amuse her to the point where she takes immense pride in every personal victory. She considers herself to be a tactical mastermind and manipulation genius though fails to deliver from time-to-time. Not that there was ever an option in her mind where she would concede to defeat or settle for "second best". Jade strongly believes that she is entitled to only the best, including a position of authority and the acceptance of her superiority from others, with the intention of achieving her goals by any means necessary. This is why, perhaps, survival has become less for herself and more for her ego. At least a severe lack of empathy has made this much easier for her than it probably should be.


[color=#71BC78][b]Skills:[/b][/color][list]
[*][color=#71BC78][b]Sharpshooting:[/b][/color] She has some knowledge with firearms and seems to know how to handle her rifle relatively well.
[*][color=#71BC78][b]Trapping:[/b][/color] Her knowledge usually stretches as far as bear traps and pitfall traps. She's especially fond of the latter.
[*][color=#71BC78][b]Tracking:[/b][/color] She likes to believe that she's good at this, but in really, it's difficult to miss raptors in the wild.
[*][color=#71BC78][b]Cooking:[/b][/color] She's a decent cook and knows how to make meals out of nothing surprisingly well.
[*][color=#71BC78][b]Scavenging:[/b][/color] Jade is rather skilled with locating and "borrowing" others' belongings with no intention on returning them.
[*][color=#71BC78][b]Foraging:[/b][/color] Not as much of a skill as a book with pictures of what local flora is safe to eat.
[*][color=#71BC78][b]Miscellaneous:[/b][/color] She has basic knowledge regarding first aid, camping, starting fires, and even climbing mountains.
[/list]


[color=#71BC78][b]Equipment:[/b][/color][list]
[*][color=#71BC78][b]Hunting Rifle:[/b][/color] A Remington Model 700. It was a gift from Jade's father and it has since become an extension of herself.
[*][color=#71BC78][b]Hunting Knife:[/b][/color] Sheathed around her left leg. Mostly used for skinning animals, chopping meat, and as a last resort.
[*][color=#71BC78][b]Machete:[/b][/color] Mostly used for threatening the occasional deranged human survivor or cutting through flora. Barely used in combat.
[*][color=#71BC78][b]Shovel:[/b][/color] For setting traps and occasionally used for self-defense. It can be found strapped to her back along with her machete.
[*][color=#71BC78][b]Pouch:[/b][/color] It's mostly for fashion, but it also carries ammunition for her rifle. It can be found on the right side of her waist.

[color=#71BC78][b]Backstory:[/b][/color] Jade was born as the eldest of two daughters and lived under a  different name for most her life. Generally speaking, her childhood was uneventful and was spent traveling across the American midwest. Her family never truly found a place to consider as "home". When Jade was a teenager, she became interested in racing raptors for a while and would go on to win several ribbons for her efforts. Losing came far and few between with the end result leading to cycling through raptors. Inferior mounts would often be let loose in the wild or shot while bearing the blame of her losses. Jade stopped racing at some during college to focus on her grades and a long term relationship with an unnamed boyfriend. She graduated from Emory University in 2076 with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and went on to be rejected from medical school. Any attempts to reapply were halted by the inevitable fall of human civilization in 2077. It wasn't long before a new food chain was established and Jade was learning how to play by its rules.

[*]She prefers to fight from a distance and has been perfectly willing to sacrifice teammates in the past.
[*]She thinks mushrooms are absolutely disgusting and should be avoided at all costs.
[*]She hates kids and finds them to be "especially useless in times like these".
