Reggie - New Orleans/Crashed Vehicle - Alex/Aoife/Nelson

Reggie had believed that this biter group would provide little trouble for his scouts, but his confidence plummeted as he watched Alex make mistake after mistake. Alex had positioned himself slightly ahead of the others and was now finding biters breathing down his neck. Reggie moved to cover Alex, but the biters had stepped into their formation, rendering the group too busy to assist Alex. The battle then became a haze of gore and gunfire. Reggie stole glances over the fighting to keep an eye on Alex and Aoife, but almost got himself bit in the process. Reggie swore and was forced to concentrate entirely what was in front of him. No biter got so close at that point. Reggie had been fighting these monsters for what felt like nonstop for the past half a year. For a man who once preferred to use his words rather than his fists, Reggie sometimes felt like he was an entirely different person nowadays.

When the last of the biters were killed, Reggie looked around rapidly to assess the status of his team. Surprisingly, Aoife was completely unscathed. Unsurprisingly, so was Luke. Jerry looked spooked and covered in gore, but otherwise all right as well. As for Alex...

"Alex," Reggie said, looking toward the car. He saw Alex grabbing at the door in order to get to the man inside. Reggie shook his head and pointed to Jerry. "Help us get that door open. Luke, Aoife, you two watch the streets. The gunfire will draw them." Reggie and Jerry stepped next to Alex and helped pull at the door, though Reggie was feeling like this was a waste of time. The crash had unfortunately forced the door shut and Reggie was unsure they'd be able to get it open anytime soon. Besides, the man inside was probably dead and all they were doing was waiting for him to turn. "This isn't working. We have to go before he becomes a biter--"

Jerry grunted loudly and finally the door came free. Immediately, Jerry reached inside and checked the man for a pulse. "He's alive," he said, turning to look at Reggie and waiting for instruction.

Letting out a deep sigh, Reggie pushed his rifle over his shoulder. "Unbuckle him and grab him. We'll take him to the cabin."

Jerry reached inside and did as he was told. "The cabin's too far, Reggie," he said. "Even The Pub. I think we have to take him back to Outpost."

Reggie shook his head, but he knew Jerry had a point. If they were ambushed while carrying this man, it could mean the worst for all of them. It would be best to cut down on their travel time. "Alex, help Jerry carry him." Reggie then turned around and gestured down the street. "Okay, everyone, we're heading back to Outpost. I know we're tired, but we need to be quick, so move it!"

I'm going to sleep since it's 2:23am here. I'll see what it's like in the morning. :)

Got it.

Do you want me to post again or shall I wait?

Which would you rather? :D

don't forget guys you need to make sure you follow the posting procedure: at the top of your posts please put your character, where they are at and who they are interacting with in bold. This helps us keep everyone organized and makes it easier to reply to posts.

Oh yes, this is true. Because of the amount of characters and multiple locations, this makes things a TON easier, even if you're the type to read every post very intently.
Go ahead and intro them and we'll eventually get them into the groups.

Quick question how close is the pub in relation to haywood as I was thinking about splitting them up that way it would be more dramatic for them to try and find each other.

Hmm, I'd say far enough away from each other so that it would be hard for you to stumble across the other if you went out to explore, but not impossible. The people at The Pub are aware that Haywood exists however, but they don't visit it or know who's there.
FreeStep said
Together, if at all possible or for extra drama you could separate them and have them found by two different people of the same group or something you know whatever builds more drama. ^__^

We have four locations currently. Outpost (Community out in the woods/Marshland), Haywood (Community within the city), The Pub (A hotel within New Orleans being used as a resting place for survivors), and a camp in the woods where another group has been living.

Outpost has been recently filling up a lot, so I think I'd suggest either Haywood or The Pub. I mean you could go it alone if you really wanted but these are all the plot related locations.

Ok so I edited and changed the image to better represent my current character for the father. ^__^

Perfect, both accepted.

Question, did you plan on them starting off together, or separated?
I think both sheets are fine, but we've run into an issue where we have a large amount of characters with a military background. Is there any way you could adjust Johnathan so he doesn't have that particular history? Emilly is fine, no changes needed there.
Reggie - New Orleans/Crashed Vehicle - Alex/Aoife/Nelson

It was an exhausting morning for Reggie and his scouts. After having spent most of the night clearing Outpost's perimeter, the group were running on little more than naps as they made their way through the city. While they had a couple of traveled routes for their usual missions, they had to ensure the main one through The Pub was clear for their upcoming assault. Reggie was prepared to take out a group each morning; It was all too easy for biters to settle in one place.

Having entered the city with little fanfare, the scouts were getting slightly restless. Jerry in particular was leading the group in energy and was choosing to spend it all on complaining. "This is absolutely useless," he said, his voice having far surpassed the point of being grating. Reggie had already told the man to shut it, but it wasn't long before the man started up again. "Not a single biter. If any of them stand in our way next week, we'll just plow through them! Reggie, you know we can-"

"I know that plans can go awry. I know what was supposed to be a routine scout ended in the death of one of our own. Do not tell me what is useless, Jerry." Reggie increased his speed, putting a gap between himself and his group. He was not that angry-- more exasperated. He didn't think they were ready for what was to come, no matter how hard Enrique pushed them. Especially, well... Reggie appreciated the support of women like Aoife and Amanda, but he felt he might have to remove them from the scouts sooner or later.

A faint noise interrupted Reggie's thoughts and he stopped in his tracks. He looked around himself, his eyes scanning the street ahead and the surrounding buildings for a source of the noise. It was unusual to hear much beyond the moaning of the undead these days, even in the city. As his group caught up with him, Reggie heard a second noise, this one short and loud. "... That was a pretty big bang," Luke said, voicing Reggie's thoughts.

Reggie nodded and gestured down a side road. "We're checking it out. Stick close with me."

They found the crashed vehicle surrounded by biters. They were hungry ones, growling as they cut themselves on the broken glass to reach whoever was inside. "Jesus Christ," Jerry said, his gun trained on the biters. "No way they survived that."

Reggie thought Jerry was right. From what he could see, the car was totaled and drenched in blood. Yet, they couldn't ignore this. "Shit. We're going to have to clear these out." He turned to his group- Jerry, Luke, Aoife, and Alex- and let out a deep breath. "Spread out, but not too much. We are not letting them come near us. We mow them down." Reggie turned back toward the biters and took a few step backwards. "In position," he said, raising his rifle. "Now--"

Reggie fired the first shot. Silently, Luke and Jerry followed suit. As the biters started to fall, they began to move from away from the car and approach the shooters.

I let my character run into Sylar and I've been waiting almost a week for a reply. Did you notice I did so? I don't want to push you into posting or anything but I want to push you into posting. Shit.

I think he just missed your post. If you want, I'm about to post with Reggie and some of the scouts where they'll find Antagonist's character. You could have Alex be on the mission (You'd be skipping the Sylar conversation but it's up to you).
