@RumikoOhara yes we really need a medic badly. Make a character and you can join. I need a list of the meds you will have on you though. No one can carry everything after all. Only necessity things like pain killers and antibiotics please as a minimum
Okay I didn't include drugs due to the previous situation she was in using them all up Also I know her equipment list may seem heavy but it's all held in her Vehicle, I am willing to part with all but the military surgical kit
Name : Karen White Appearance :
Age : 27 Gender : Female From : Yahzoo Mississippi Personality : Karen's personality has had a major shift since the outbreak where she was once viewed as passive she now stands her ground defending her point of view. As a doctor she has had to become more fatalistic because of the virus that has devastated humanity. She is a fighter as a doctor and a person finding it difficult to let go till all hope is lost. Backstory : Karen was born in Yazoo City to Mr Johnathan Wife and his wife Pearl. The last of three children Karen was the only Girl 9 years younger than her middle brother Arthur and 12 years younger than her brother Herbert she was the baby of the family an pampered accordingly. Her oldest brother was her hero and her middle brother her best friend. Her brother Herbert was a Coast guard Captain and her brother Arthur a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marines when Karen graduated high school at the age of 16.
Karen was one of the happiest girls she knew that is till the day when she received word that her parents had died in a car accident, she was just 18. She was consoled by her brothers who asked her to finish school as her mom and dad had wished that she do.
Karen did finish med school and was on the path to become a surgeon but for the death of her older brother Herbert who was trying rescue oil men trapped on an oil rig during a hurricane.
Karen dropped into a depression and almost gave up medicine completely till the town corner of Yazoo City who was a friend of her father's managed to talk her into becoming his assistant. She did this till the day they began appearing.
She was ordered by the authorities to use her skills as a doctor at an evacuation center in Baton rouge. She did as she must till they began over running the city and killing any unlucky enough to encounter them unprepared.
She along with 20 other survivors managed to board a barge tug that had two barges still loaded with some supplies and headed south on the river for the gulf of Mexico where they were to make the inter coastal waterway and try for the east coast ports where they might find help.
They almost made it to the gulf when they were attacked by pirates and boarded. Karen seeing how brutally the pirates treated those they captured dove over the side and swam for the river bank.
She managed to avoid by luck being found by the dead or the pirates until she stumbled across a small group of Army reservists. There were 8 of them and they had two
and a HUMVEE as their vehicles. They them selves had been attacked by feral humans and had a wounded man whom they were sure was going to die. Karen told them she was a doctor and they in a stroke of luck told her they had medical supplies.
At first Karen was amused an then grateful when she found out that they had a large surgical kit except that it was the sort left over from WWII. The primitive kit proved useful and sturdy if not as delicate as she were used to and it did save the man's life.
They were headed north to St. Louis where there was at last reports a large assembly point the army had set up.
After weeks of travel and horrors they finally arrived near St. Louis only to find the assembly point over run. Karen and one of the others she'd been traveling with were the only survivors to make it out of there in a HUMVEE that had everything she could save aboard.
It was one night after a brutal encounter with a small group of the dead that her companion shot himself leaving her alone.

Accepted :) welcome our new medic of our group everyone! I will allow all the equipment since as you said its stored in your truck. I also find it to be a valuable asset to have.
@ChaoticNeutral Quite a few weapons on your character but with her size I will allow it. Love the sniper rifle and we may have to raid a gun store and steal silencers since no one has any xD
I can take something off if you want - sometimes I just don't know when to stop xD I wish I could arm my car this heavy, I'm still in high school (well, I'm out for the summer - you know what I mean) and a 3" pocket knife doesn't do much to scare off the, ah, unwanted advances often made against me.
Oh my god, SAO (the first half of season 2 was my favorite btw---)
