Name: Seth Vutaro “Vic”

Appearance: Seth Vutaro stands 5’10” tall and weighs 210 Lbs. His flesh is bluish gray with splotches of navy blue scattered about his body, including a two-inch splotch on his left cheek and a six-inch splotch on the left side of his neck. His head is shaved bald with grayish colored splotches across his dome. Seth wears navy blue or black dickies trousers, brown hiking boots and similar colored work shirts. He has an assault vest he inherited from time spent in the military containing spare magazines, water bottles, a first aid kit, compass, weapons cleaning kit and various other tools necessary for survival. He retained a maroon beret with a red/gray flash upon the face to wear upon his head.

Biography: Seth grew up in Granby, a suburb of Central City. The city suffered devastating decay from the Others with more than 90% of its inhabitants, dead. The survivors are either guests of the invaders are hiding in surrounding forests and hills. Seth is one of the orc survivors hiding in the woods looking for a way to survive and overthrow their alien oppressors.

Seth never graduated High School. He attended Granby High School but dropped out before his senior year when he felt the human administration treated the orcish population unfairly. He never liked school and didn’t do well in either of his classes. He did manage to get a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) which qualified him to join the US Army.

As soon as he was able, Seth enlisted in the Army, performing Basic Combat Training at Ft. Benning, GA. He qualified as an Infantryman, then attended Airborne school, also at Ft. Benning and Ranger School. His first duty station was in Vicenza, Italy with the 2nd Battalion, 503rd Airborne Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade. He deployed with his unit to Poland in support of NATO Operation Atlantic Resolve where he trained alongside Polish Infantry formations along the border with the Russian Federation.

After an 18-month tour with the 173rd Airborne, Seth who picked up the nickname “Vick” in Vicenza was redeployed to Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry, 2nd Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. Seth preferred the Light Infantry aspect of being in an airborne battalion in Europe over maintaining his squad’s Stryker wheeled combat vehicle. He tried to make the best of it.

After his three years in the US Army ended, he had attained the rank of Specialist, received his DD-214 discharge paperwork and returned to Granby and his mom and dad. His dad had a job working on the Norfolk Southern Railway in the Maintenance of Way department, repairing tracks. The MOW department out of Central City exclusively employed orcs due to their bulk and natural strength. They endured hardships and were able to effectively perform their jobs without many problems. The orcs had a reputation as solid workers.

At the time the alien invaders arrived, Seth “Vic” Vutaro had been working for the NS Railway for one year working the crew with his father. The old man got caught up with the purge and died, along with Vic’s mother. The 22-year old Army veteran made it out of the city and into the hills with a small group of survivors.

Psychological Profile: Seth is pretty laid back having accepted his lot in life. He doesn't like it and would like to one day see orcs gain a better station in life. He is comfortable as a conflict avoider. He has been pigeon holed as positive and/or happy go lucky, but when pushed can and has stepped outside his comfort zone. He is disciplined and will do what is necessary to survive.

Name: Sina

Appearance: Sina is 5'10" and 150lbs. To anyone but an elf, she looks like you would expect an elf to look- pale, long bronze hair, pointed ears, bright green eyes.

Biography: Sina was born to a single mother, a human. No elf would lower themselves and stay. Her younger years were difficult: an elf being dropped off at school by a human was normal enough (thank goodness for nannies), but of course she told everyone that it was her mother dropping her off, not realising that she was an oddity.

Middle school was better, because she could go herself, and no one knew she wasn't a full blood elf unless she told them. She was something exotic to them: pointed ears that were somehow softer, green eyes (which do not naturally occur in elves), and something else they couldn't quite place. She had already learned to be an outcast, so now she learned to be an elf and discovered that she didn't quite fit in with them, much as she tried. From them, at least, she learned that magic was still around and that she could do it.

In high school, she tried hanging out with humans. She was seen as "slumming it", so to speak, but there were people who didn't care. At the end of it all Sina realised that she really didn't have a group that she truly connected with.

She went to university for a degree in Diverse Psychology (a basic degree to get acquainted with the psychology of every race, nothing in depth) and continued on to do Master's in both human and elf studies in the same vein.

From there, she went to the FBI.

Initially she wanted to go with the CIA and be a cultural advisor and intelligence operator, but she realised she could do so much more. No one knew she wasn't a full elf, and she was called "exotic"- which could mean a threat to an elf, or it could mean a prize.

When the Others came, she had been slowly trying to infiltrate the elite crowd in Chicago, Illinois. Elves, prissy as they may appear, know how to survive. The First and Second wave were not problematic. Some died, of course- some died from every race. But the Third Wave was when the elves really started going down. Elves don't usually get sick- so when they do, it is usually fatal.

Psychological Profile: Sina is conflicted- she could be one of the elite, if she wanted to, but the human part of her can't let her lie like that. She wants to believe there is a way for everyone to live in harmony. Sina is often stoic and blunt like an elf, and at times her choices reflect the same.
