Pavlov 'Rus' Andreijzic.

Name: Pavlov Zaberdaiev Andreijzic. Age: 24. Gender: Male. Ethnicity: Caucasian. Description: Pavlov has a stereotypical Russian look to him -- rugged, dirty and manly. He has black hair that, over the time he has spent in this hellhole, has grown a lot and is now tied back with some string into a small ponytail. Several strands of hair escaped this fate and gently hang down next to his ear, accompanying his sideburns. His beard has grown as well, though for safety reasons he keeps it short. Despite the lack of time for leisure he does his best to keep his beard somewhat clean, trimming it every now and then. He has braided several parts of his beard where length allowed it, which isn't very much. He has very defined cheekbones and his cheeks have fallen in due to malnourishment, as was the case with many people. Besides that his face lacks any other kind of distinction that sets him apart from the others in any interesting way. His body is strengthened by the apocalypse, in relativity to his pre-infection shapes. He has more defined muscles on his arm and neck areas, and appears more broad than before. However he in no way attains body-builder esque figures and in all intends and purposes doesn't wish to become like that either. However none of this is noticeable that much, as the clothes he wears are very concealing towards his physique. Biography: Pavlov is a Russian born immigrant who moved to America when he was around the age of 8. His father and mother were lower-middle class citizens who both worked at the same school. His father taught Russian in a International Bussiness oriented course while his mother worked behind the reception desk and filled other bureaucratic roles inside the school. His childhood was moderately average and he lived his life like every child would. During the first and second wave Pavlov had already grown up to become an adult, aged 22 at the start of the apocalypse. His father called him one day, telling him that his mother had gotten ill and he had brought her to the hospital after she told him that her midriff felt like it was on fire. He thought little of it and told him to tell her to get better. Later he learned she had slipped into a coma along with a majority of the people that had this same disease -- a new form of the flu they called it -- but that her situation was relatively stable and that the doctors were doing all they could. But it felt a bit off. What kind of flu causes a coma? The answer came swiftly for him after the first reports of comatose people waking from the dead after dying from their coma. Supposedly Pavlov lost both his father and mother, however he has no real 'proof' of this. For the first few months he was as inexperienced as anyone else and had to make some decisions he wished now he hadn't. After all nobody had experience with this kind of threat.. how could they make the right decisions all the time? He wandered his city, New York, looking for others that knew what was going on. He met street gangs who had now gotten into power through force. He met policemen and National Guards who were still performing their duties, helping people survive but often failing to do this. He met people that had given up on life and shot themselves, hung themselves or jumped from a skyscraper. Once, he even met a man that killed his own brother, then ate him. These experiences enrichened his 'knowledge and experience' with this situation and taught him that humanity was dead. Or rather.. humanity was alive, but civilization was gone. In a bad world like this, doing good things gets you killed. One day he got lucky, though, and someone did something good for him. As he was wandering around the highway, looking through trucks and cars for something edible, he heard the loud thundering of a motorcycle. A man slowly cruised up to him, holding up a sawn off shotgun aiming at Pavlov. He wore a Hells Angels jacket and Pavlov thought he was a dead man. But the man talked to him for a bit and told Pavlov he was heading to Florida because of rumours that there were still good people there. And he asked if Pavlov wanted to go with him. After that, the story grew rather dull, as Pavlov mostly spent his time with this man driving to and fro. When they arrived in Florida they stumbled upon the camp by accident during a scavenging trip to find gasoline for the motorcycle. Well, maybe they didn't find the gasoline, but they found something better. Pre-Infection Career: Spent some time in the military as a Private (age 18 to 22) however he did not see much real combat action, being deployed mainly in security tasks in cities that were not under direct threat. Other: Pavlov wears sturdy leather boots, a torn and repaired-over-a-hundred-times set of cargo pants, a grey shirt with a blue vest over it. Has no real 'gear' as of yet as he mostly spends his time inside the camp helping out where he can and patrolling the fences. However he has made it clear that he'd like to be sent out to scavenge as well as he has grown bored of being inside the camp doing the same stuff everyday.

A marquis is similar to a count (basically, you rule a piece of land and you have subjects of your own) however the difference is that I believe a marquis was ruler of a march, a border-territory that was intended as more of a castle where men could be stationed in case of war. If you want to be a very minor noble then you'd be a courtier (someone that roams the court of a noble) from a noblemans family. And yes that's kinda what I was going for, just using them as a basis for appearance and then letting everyone just come up with their own version more or less. :P

Bump once more.

Reign of Weade's [realistic medieval RP]

My humble apologies good sir! I appear to have taken some hallucinogenic mushrooms and confused you for my bud.

@Jonnyh447

Hehe, in my country we can get those shrooms' legally. :P Not that I'd ever do that..

~Large cool bio's that I dont wanna quote for space reasons~

@Izaka Sazaka

Looks good, however I always find it quite difficult to imagine anime-esque appearances as 'real people' although I noticed in other RP's that this is usually only when I'm 'grading' them and this no longer becomes a problem in the IC. Still, I'd like to point out that the way they are represented is usually not wholly realistic (body-physique wise, too) and that I'd probably take it with a grain of salt. For example if you look at Valeria's picture, she's wearing a corset type of top which is not only incredibly bothersome in combat (it's tight and restricts movement and breathing, imagine getting punched in the gut and you lose all your air.. that'd suck.) it's also not really realistic in the sense that nobody has worn a corset into battle. However the rest is all very well written and I hope to see your histories soon! Thanks for your interest. :)

Hey! I'm a grown ass man, not your bud! :P

Reign of Weade's [realistic medieval RP]

So, I am thinking of making my character the stable master for the Weades. He would be older, probably close to thirty-five or forty years old and a former warrior. Would this be okay with you? If so, is it possible for him to be missing an eye?

@DAWNSTAR

Yeah definetely, go for it.

Okay so I actually can't get a http: with Gregor's armour for now, I'll figure it out though.

@Jonnyh447

Does that work?

Reign of Weade's [realistic medieval RP]

Yeah, I actually looked up the Mountain to see what he wore, and he wore a suit of leather armor with metal shoulderpads. It's like lammelar except it's not just QUITE lammelar armor. You can take the picture! That's why I put them there :P

Thank you for accepting!

Looks good! The story is surely decent enough and I can understand his motives. As for the pictures, the 'face' one looks good, and suits him well. However the second one, I'm not so sure about. Should I just interpret him as a knight in plate armor? If so, might I suggest perhaps combining the face picture with one of these;

pictures

The reason for my nitpickery is that I've had people use pictures like those before, where they sort of end up like a MMO-heavy-armor-tank kind of character, while I'd rather keep it on the realistic side. Many knights, especially foot-knights, did not wear plate armor all that much. For the first picture you see a brigandine, essentially studded/riveted leather. It looks cool, knightly and above all, since it's leather it can have that nice royal-red or that badass-black color if you wish. Second one is self explanatory, I like this one especially because the guy looks cool. Third one is (I guess) a cuir bouillie which means boiled leather, it's essentially hardened leather shaped into a piece of armor. Usually these were used in combination with plate armor (you'd have a thing layer of plate armor, then over that the hardened leather). This stuff was hard as hell and was one of the reasons crossbows became common in the battlefields, simply because an arrow could not penetrate these (well.. there's bodkin arrows etc but you get what I mean.) However if you wish to go for plate armor that is fine too! If that's the case I'll just imagine the guy in a way that makes it seem realistic to me. I hope I don't come across as a complete nutjob :P I try my hardest to pay attention to how I write things as I can sometimes come across as if I am being rude, when I'm not intending to, so sorry if that's the case. On a sidenote, if anyone needs pictures of the sorts I have a few saved that you might be able to use for your character, or for inspiration or w/e. Just hit me up if you need/want to see them! Oh and aside from my nitpicking on the characters picture, it's a good character man. The personality and history are good, and he provides a pretty decent character to work with. :)

Bumpity.
