Full Name: Jade Davis
Nickname(s): None.
Gender: Female

Age: 27
Birthday: July 23rd

Personality: Jade generally has a poor grasp on reality. What most would view as an apocalypse is nothing more than entertainment or a game to her. Hunting raptors, whom she finds as intelligent as ordinary humans, has since become her favorite hobby. Mind games and logic puzzles amuse her to the point where she takes immense pride in every personal victory against one. She considers herself to be a tactical mastermind and manipulative genius though fails to deliver from time-to-time. Not that there is ever an option in her mind where she would concede defeat or settle for "second best". Jade strongly believes that she is entitled to only the best, including a position of authority and for others to accept her superiority, and plans to achieve this by any means necessary. This is why, perhaps, survival has become less for herself and more for her ego. At the very least, a severe lack of empathy for other survivors has made this much easier for her than it probably should be.

Skills:

• Foraging: Not as much of a skill as it is a book with pictures on what local flora is safe to eat.
• Cooking: She's a decent cook and knows how to make meals out of nothing surprisingly well.
• Tracking: She likes to believe that she is good at this, but in reality, it's difficult to miss raptors in the wild.
• Scavenging: Jade is rather skilled with locating and "borrowing" others' belongings with no plans to return them.
• Trapping: Her knowledge usually stretches as far as bear traps and pitfall traps. She's especially fond of the latter.
• Sharpshooting: She has some knowledge regarding firearms and seems to know how to handle her rifle relatively well.
• Miscellaneous: She has basic knowledge regarding first aid, camping, starting fires, and even climbing the occasional mountain.

Equipment:

• Hunting Knife: This is sheathed around her left leg. It's mostly used for skinning animals, chopping meat, and as a last resort weapon.
• Shovel: This is for setting traps and occasionally used for self-defense. It can be found strapped to her back along with her machete.
• Backpack: Carries non-perishables, night vision goggles, binoculars, a book on native wildlife, a water bottle, and rancid meat.
• Machete: This is mostly used for threatening the occasional deranged survivor or cutting through flora. It barely sees combat.
• Hunting Rifle: A Remington Model 700. It was a gift from Jade's father and it has since become an extension of herself.
• Pouch: It's mostly for fashion, but it also carries ammunition for her rifle. It can be found on the right side of her waist.

Backstory: Jade was born as the eldest of two daughters and lived under a different name for most of her life. Generally speaking, her childhood was uneventful and was spent traveling across the American midwest. Her family never truly found a place to consider their "home". When Jade was a teenager, she eventually became interested in racing raptors for a while and would go on to win several ribbons for her efforts. Losing came far and few between with the end result leading to her cycling through raptors. Inferior raptors would be let loose into the wild or shot while bearing the blame of her losses. Jade stopped racing at some during college to focus on her grades and a long term relationship with an unnamed boyfriend. She graduated from Emory University in 2076 with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and went on to be rejected from medical school. Any attempts to reapply were halted by the inevitable fall of human civilization in 2077. It wasn't long before a new food chain was established and Jade was quick to learn its rules.

Other:

• She prefers to fight from a distance and has been perfectly willing to sacrifice teammates in the past.
• She has gone by a different name for almost every survivor group that she's ran with before.
• She hates kids and finds them to be "especially useless in times like these".
