Ha, that would be a hell of a character arc. I hope it doesn't kill her.

One of my old characters I never got to use.

Olivia [+]

Name: Olivia Henley

Age: 23

Sex: Female

Personality: Unable to fit into a single category best used to describe her, Olivia finds it relatively easy to get along with just about anyone. Although she enjoys meeting new people, she's very careful about who she invites into her life. Under the right circumstances, Olivia will not pass up on the opportunity to make a joke (sometimes inappropriate in nature), and she won't hesitate to use it as an icebreaker.

Physical Description: Olivia stands at an average height of 5'5. She has rich, olive skin tone which is accentuated by hazel eyes and dark-brown hair. Her body is well-toned due to her strict exercise regimen, and her scars are a limited few mostly associated to past childhood experiences.

Portrait [+]

Weapons/Equipment: A kitchen knife and a Hi-Point C-9 Handgun left on site by the bar owner.

History: Olivia was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She bounced between foster homes at an early age due to behavioral problems, and she never stayed in a single home for longer than 6 months. She was a troubled child who would often end up in a juvenile detention center, and her sporadic placements with unfitting families often pushed her to runaway, only to get picked up by law enforcement and turned over to the state.

From a young age, Olivia learned to find humor in just about anything. Rules meant nothing to her, and nearly every single one of her mugshots showed a smile that one could very well be interpreted as pride. Despite her behavior, Olivia was a bright child, although her abilities were never truly nurtured nor challenged. She's seen and done it all-fights, drugs, alcohol, sex-yet she has no regrets.

Before the outbreak occurred, Olivia was wrapping up her graduate education at the local university. She hoped to get a job as a meteorologist, and she was interning with one of the three major news stations of Pittsburgh for the past year. She lived alone in a one-bedroom apartment near the downtown area and held a job as a bartender to support herself.

Life after the outbreak: The chaos erupted when Olivia was at O'Reilly's with her co-worker, Chelsea. The store owner, Timothy, wasn't around, but they didn't wait on him to lock up the door to the rooftop bar, therefore denying access to anyone who wanted to go in. A lot of the days during the first few weeks of the outbreak were a drunken blur. The two girls learned how to ration the food that was available, but it was quickly diminishing and they needed to restock. They armed themselves before carefully stepping outside of the building for the first time in over a month. Not 5 minutes passed after setting foot on the street before Chelsea was pulled from behind by a biter and eaten alive. This made Olivia run as fast as she could in the opposite direction before finding shelter in a building and locking the door behind her.

I liked her when I last read the C.S, still do. Sad that the other RP died before it even started. Accepted, just wait on Double's word, then you should be free to post.

Yeah, that was a shame. But hey, we'll see what happens this time around with her.

Should be fun! Hopefully me and Double can get our characters out of the shit we've gotten them into alive. As he pointed out it would be very awkward if we were the first to have to make new characters, haha.

I haven't read any of it, not because I'm uninterested, but because like my character, I'd rather not know what happens to other people before meeting them so it doesn't reflect in my posts. I hope that makes sense...

But, I would love it if Olivia can get into some crazy shit like them two right off the bat.

(It'll be fun playing this as Olivia is my real name.)

Aye, definitely makes sense. It will be a lot of fun telling Olivia and you what kind of fucked up situations Abel has managed to get himself into (and hopefully out of).

I don't think I've played a character with my real name before. My real surname, yeah, a bunch of times since it's one of the most common surnames in the world and I'm a lazy shit. I have had characters based on myself (life wise, my one in Until We Fall probably being the most accurate, funnily enough), mostly when I'm getting back into RP'ing after an extended hiatus and I want a character I don't want to think too much about. It can be fun, but I try to avoid it. Tis not very creative on my part, haha.

Great character! I really like her! Post away!

@Mordon

Oh I know that technique all too well. A lot of my characters' personalities reflect mine as I find it easier to relate to them and "get in their head". It's a little trademark of mine, I supposed.

I'll post something tomorrow and have "fun" with some NPCs >:)

@Xandrya Sounds like you'll be fun addition to this story then! And as long as we have people, this won't go dry quickly either! We have a ton of ideas lined up!

Uh oh, Scott needs to get shot.

He will, but not just yet. I'll probably flesh this out until another character is able to meet with Olivia.

Ha, dark.

I'll do my best to get a post up tomorrow. Everyone else feel free to post if you've got something/are on a plot path though.

Sorry if people are busy, causing them to be unable to post. I don't want anyone to think this is a dead rp, Because it definitely isn't! WE have plenty of ideas lined up to keep this going for a while!

ON another note, there will be a 4 day period where I will be unavailable. From June 9th, through June 12th, I'm going to be on a camping trip. I'll try to check in, but feel free to post while I'm gone. I'd love to see how characters develop while I'm away!

I should probably reply, huh? XD

I should probably reply, huh? XD

Ha, I'd vote yes on that. As should I.

Name
Owen Morris

Age
Thirty-Nine

Gender
Male

Physical Description
Owen is 5'8” and his body is healthier than the average male in the country. His daily workout at the gym has helped out with his body and the Outbreak has helped out as well. He doesn't have any facial hair, because he doesn't think they look professional for a police officer. However, his short light brown hair is still there. The police uniform is his daily outfit before the Outbreak started. The uniform used to mean something, but now it's a target for those looking for supplies. Owen prefers to keep the uniform until it becomes useless; however, he has a second uniform among with his regular clothes in the supply bag.

Personality
Owen became a police officer, because he's a courageous and selfless person. Like many other officers, he's disciplined and calm towards others. And he's also high-spirited during serious events and often uses humor to calm others. He gets his personality from his father, who had a similar personality to Owen. However, since the Outbreak, he's slowly becoming an earnest and self-centered person. With a world without the use of law and order, he's adapting to the simulation rather too quickly. He already had to kill someone after they were changing towards him with a metal baseball bat and he also killed several 'infected'.

But, most of his personality hasn't changed for the moment.

Equipment
Glock 22 (contains 40 rounds, two magazines total)
Metal baton
D1 Patrol Police Supply Bag (contains only bottled waters and snack size chips)
Police Duty Belts (contains handcuffs, portable personal radio, pepper spray, a taser, two flashlights, gloves, a multi-tool, and a small first aid kit)

History
Owen Morris' early life was difficult as he almost died at birth with his mother; thankfully, they lived through it. His father was a police office from New York City and his mother had a job as a sales person. They were the average middle class family, living in an apartment and having only one kid. School was fun and easy from Owen as he skipped a grade at the age of seven.

However, he wanted to become like his father and the most of the people in the father's and mother's family: A police officer. He begun to train from the hard work of being a cop in a city, especially New York City. From the age of ten to eighteen, he forced on school and his training until he mastered them. His father retired after serving for twenty-six years at the age of fifty-nine, saying that 'a man must rest before his death'. At the same time, he had graduated from high school and went to police academy for a couple years. It was difficult for Owen and he wanted to give up at times, but he pushed forward and became a police officer.

After that, he did his job for five years until he was transferred to Pittsburgh and did ten more years until the outbreak happened…

After the Outbreak
He was one of the first responders to a call about being attacked by a loved one. The simulation was horrible as the victim had bled to death and the loved one was covered in blood. It got more chaotic as he fired at the person. Then, he was called to the station for an emergency meeting about similar simulations that were happening all over the city. The police officers were told to defend quarantine camps and save as many lives as they could.

It was going well until the sixth day, where things went out of control. The quarantine camp, that Owen was stationed, was being overrun as the police officers were either fighting, dead, or escaping with the military. He chose to escape out of the camp with a group of officers and soldiers as soon as the helicopters left. The first thing that they did as a group was going back to the station, which was the HQ for the military now. When they got there, however, the place was empty among with the supplies. The group was upset and angry towards their fellow men for leaving. But, they found a radio and decided to contact the military. They were told that there was nothing that they could do for them and anyone else 'for now'. Despite the military's response, he knew that they were never coming back and they are hiding in naval ships.

Because of that, they decided to stay at the station until supplies are low and then split up. Thirty-five days later, the group had split up and Owen was the remaining person at the station before leaving it behind. He decided to stay in the city, because he wants to still protect it until he dies.

Sorry for the delay, but here's my character sheet. Hope you like it.

@The Spectre I like him a lot actually. I've always wanted a cop character involved. Hopefully you can get right into the action. Some people have been inactive quite a bit, and I don't want to abandon this roleplay in any way.

Anyway. Character accepted.
