I'm about to edit and make that obvious that they saw him. :)

And so far, no one is outside of Jonesboro.

Room for one more? ;)

Name: Victor "Vic" Hammerstein
Age: 25
Gender: male
Race: Caucasian
Appearance:
6'2, lean and muscled build with a tattoo of a dragon coiled around his right arm.
Clothing: hiking boots, jeans, black t-shirt, OD green soft shell jacket, black tactical gloves, Oakley sunglasses
Equipment: MOLLE war belt (with x4 rifle mag pouches, x2 pistol mag pouches, Medical pouch, dump pouch) Drop leg holster,
Tan backpack (with food, change of clothes, hydration bladder and weapons cleaning kit)
Weapons: AR-15 (with ACOG scope, sling, foregrip, flashlight) Glock 19 (with night sights)
Bio/Background: Victor grew up in a poorer neighborhood in Memphis, TN and like one might expect, was exposed to violence and crime at a very young age. His mother died when he was still a toddler and with only his father's rough, firm guidance he found himself forced to mature relatively fast. He was in numerous fights throughout his youth but managed to stay away from any criminal activity and graduate high school with decent grades. Sharp as a tack but too poor to afford college, Victor enlisted in the US Army as a Cavalry Scout and did two tours of duty in Afghanistan where he found himself in several highly kinetic areas of operation. Shortly after his discharge from the military, his father passed away. Victor, unable to settle into life as "Just another guy" sought employment with several Private Security Companies and worked on several contracts in the Middle East where he again saw heavy fighting and was surrounded by violence on a near daily basis. As the years wore on, Victor came to enjoy the excitement and thrill of the violence, becoming increasingly aggressive and sadistic with each new job to the point he was fired after an incident involving several civilian deaths and injuries. Though there wasn't enough evidence (or oversight) for him to get into legal trouble, he was sent home to the states with little hope of returning to a combat zone any time soon. Forlorn, he moved a short distance away to Jonesboro, Arkansas and went on a bender for a few days. A short time before the outbreak, a wealthy family, the Calloways, hired him and a few other veteran Contractors as personal security for their mansion. A short time into the disaster, the mansion was overrun by the walking dead and Victor, in a fit of rage after an argument with Mr. Calloway, shot and killed his employer and escaped with a decent chunk of the family's supplies, slipping out in the chaos and leaving them and his coworkers to die. Since then, he has lived nomadically, scavenging or taking what he needs or wants and enjoying the total anarchy of the apocalypse.

Of course there's room, and I have already told you on Chatzy, but I love :)

Most of my character intro took place in Lake City (thanks Google Earth), but Tony is headed back towards Jonesboro city lines — I'll likely have him stumble across a group in his second post, unless a new character wants to join in before then and meet up.

Also: Shelton! Just like old times now, huh friend?

Fortune, our characters are going to have to compare Harley's at some point! Haha.

Absolutely! The one Tony is using is an old and rusted piece of junk, but.. It runs!

Ha, awesome! If Jack dies you can take his! Better yet though, we keep an eye out for another one or just fix yours up later on if we end up staying somewhere as a group. Could be a fun little side quest. :D

"The whole base is being overrun! Where's Jack?! Where's Tony?!"
*meanwhile, at a nearby Harley Davidson dealership*

Hahaha. It'll be even funnier when we ride back on our new bikes to the rescue and everyone realizes we can only rescue one person each. xD

Yeesh. Lotta operators out here. Maybe stick with civilian guns? I'm a little concerned about the prospect of machine gun toting super soldiers in a setting primarily about normal people in a disaster situation.

On that note, I think I might write up a slightly more normal character. Might not post for him as regularly as I will be Jack, but I think it'll still be worth it.

Pharmacy group is so close to getting to the hospital but I dont want to, like, powerplay Callum there. Hopefully Apoalo can get a post in soon.

Also Xeno you're going to post before me right?

Agreed.

I work 12 hour shifts on Fridays and Saturdays. Callum is still in shock but I was going to post his thought process. If you want to move him along with you guys I can just post it later.

Personally, for me, it feels weird just going forward without having Callum react in any way. I understand life obligations come first, so I'm fine with waiting longer. I think Xeno and Shisa will be okay with it too.

I can't post until tonight, so you go ahead.

I have a show tonight. I will be home at around 11 pm CDT

And I'm online. Coming onto chatzy if anyone wants to come on and hang out :)

I'm there! (and bored)
