Small Biography: Aaron was born in New York, and straight into the life of a police officer. Both parents were with the NYPD, so it was more or less fate that Aaron was going to join up. Upon signing up for the next recruitment drive, he passed his tests with flying colours and graduated top of his class, much to the chagrin of his peers, who assumed he'd had help from his parents.

At age 24, after three years on the force, he was called out to a suspected house robbery with his partner. Once they arrived, three masked men were just leaving through a smashed window. Aaron and his partner hopped out their cruiser, guns drawn, and ordered the three criminals to the ground. Suddenly, they opened fire on the two officers, forcing them into cover. Aaron returned fire, and called for backup, but the three got away. Aaron went around to check on his partner, but he was face down, dead. He'd taken three bullets in the kevlar vest and two in the head, killing him instantly.

Blaming himself for not protecting his partner, Aaron requested a transfer to the quietest police department so he could have time to think about his future but continue his work. The town of Whittier in Alaska was sent his way, and Aaron signed himself up, moving out there just a few months after finding out the place even existed.

Small Biography:
Samuel is English, born and bred. Even after moving from his home in London a good few years ago, he has retained the accent – and the unwavering sarcasm that the English stereotypically have had for years.
The reason for his moving about a decade and a half ago was the death of his wife and family. Coming from a well-to-do, Upper Middle-Class background, Samuel had a pretty easy life. Went to a fancy University, got a teaching degree, married a beautiful woman and had a great relationship with several of his brothers.
Until one of them got rather too familiar the family’s gun collection.
The reason for him snapping is unknown – it wasn’t to do with money, or some scandalous affair; he just went mad, seemingly. During a family Christmas at the parent’s large home in the country, he took a high-powered rifle and turned it upon his family. With Sam and his wife the last room to come to, Sam barricaded the door after hearing the gunshots, begging for his wife to climb out of the window and escape. Insisting that she wouldn’t leave him, they stood at the door together as the bullets pierced the wood, hitting them both.
And that would have been the end of it. But when the police showed up the next morning, Sam was bleeding, hurt, and near to the brink of death; but alive all the same. After various operations, they saved his life, but with everything he had gone at the press of a trigger, he couldn’t bear staying in the same country.
Selling the houses he had received in the will of his parents, he took the money and moved to America. After living as a nomad for a couple of years, he eventually settled in Whittier after hearing about it in a Canadian dive bar. It was small, out of the way, and he had money for enough alcohol to help him sleep at night, every night.
After a few years, he had gained a fairly decent reputation in the small community, and he found meaning in his life again. Regaining his cheerful cynicism, Samuel settled in more; not as the town drunk, but as a respected member of society. He still hits the bottle most nights, but compared to some of the others that spend regular nights in the drunk tank, he’s the picture of sobriety, and not an issue for the Sheriff.

Relationships: Dislikes the mayor – the two have a rivalry, after having both been in the run for the job over several years.
Has struck up a friendship with Officer Aaron McKenna.

Awesome! They can be drinking buddies or something. XD

Updated Jasmine with a PhotoShop doodle. Now she's ready to become the BOATMASTER X-TREME.

@SepticGentleman Nice pic. Of your character I mean.

It's not my usual style (as evidenced by my avatar), but I wanted to try new shit. Solid colors and thick outlines.

@MissCapnCrunch Yo I read all the stuff about vampires and wendigos and what have you but what about the "outside forces flocking to the towers". Are they gonna be more of the same or do we got some eldritch pancake mongers to worry about.

@MissCapnCrunch Are we going to sort out our Char's relationships among the non-NPCs? Or leave it to the interactions in IC?

I wanna prematurely establish Jasmine as "that girl who screams VALHALLA and punches the mail system operator in the face whenever she picks up a package".

My character is basically going to be a bit flirty with everyone unless they openly dislike it. XD

I'm half-expecting some kind of morality tracking here with every man-turned-monster the cast put down. Like once the month is up everyone turns back to normal or the towers are almost completely vacant, right before the FBI rolls in and we get the good ending or the bad one.
