I'll correct one error in everyone's memory:
[u]Elias was not my character.[/u]
If I remember correctly, he was some sort of child-trafficked sex-slave or exotic-dancer.

Emily only had one child, the second came from Natasha... You remember Natasha, right? the girl we lopped her arm off?
-And yes, the dog died nearly upon arrival to Nighthawk.

Dmitri was a seasonal roofer/hunter, and as such was good with guns, tools, and overall being prepared to go places.
-He's dead now. Remember when he and Nallore's character went to the military-base?
--Also, there was originally a scripted romance between the original fiery rignleader of Nighthawk, and Dmitri.
---That, and Sarafene wanted a piece of Dimitri... Yeah, he could've gone places snd spread so many STDs...

I was originally the co-GM, so I had to know this stuff for the privlidge to randomly kill survivors.
-I think some thought that they improved their chances of survival by being romantic (well, no... Nallore planned to drop and the base-raid was her last hurrah at the loss of Dmitri; And Natasha was offed on decree of Sarafene because of post-quality issues)

Oh, remember when Vanilla-fire/Exorcist93 crashed her car into the cabin by nighthawk, [i]and she had hair just like Shan's[/i]? [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AuthorExistenceFailure]Turns out Vanilla-Fire had brain cancer or some other medical condition that drasticly cuts short a person's real-life-expectancy[/url].
-So I guess I saved her for... [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343818/quotes?item=qt0474786]that fuzzy feeling you get for saving people[/url]...
