Threw a post up that will let us interact, Wired.

Heya! I saw your Interest Check, and I'm.. semi-interested, if you're still looking for players. If so, I'll throw a Character Sheet together and try to get it up sometime soon!

Name:
Elliot Harper

Age:
25

Gender:
Male

Ethnicity:
Caucasian - English, Irish

Occupation:
Peace Keeper

Appearance:
Elliot stands at 5'10, his skin tone light from his countless hours out of the sun clearing undead in urban dark zones. A large scar accents his ear, Elliot having received it from hitting his head on a railing after falling two stories while wrestling an infected in an apartment complex. He keeps his head shaved, hating the feeling of greasy hair which is impossible to avoid in this world. His dark mahogany eyes are still filled with life despite the grim workload, his boyish grin matching his life-filled eyes. Elliot's arms are long and ended with unusually large hands, as well as well manicured nails despite the times. His wardrobe is reasonably simple, usually consisting of jeans with extra pockets sewn in, a blue jacket he snagged from an abandoned construction zone, a white t-shirt, a beanie, tan rock-climbing gloves, an over the shoulder backpack, knee and elbow-pads, clear-lensed goggles, and tan steel-toed hiking boots.

Personality Traits:
Elliot is an active member of the new world, wanting to do right by everyone while trying to do well enough for himself to just get by. Elliot's primary interest is to remove the infected from the world in order to let humanity get back to where it once was and outside of its walls. He knows full well that his work may kill him, but is rarely perturbed by the thought. He tries to keep his spirits up at all times, wanting to focus on the positive side of life as long as he can. Elliot's stubbornness is likely a contributing factor to how willing and how frequently he travels to the dark zones.

Brief History:
His youth is a blur, repressed memories making what led to his separation from the group he was raised a jumble of disjointed images and unfamiliar noises. The face of Elliot's mother occasionally lists into his mind's eye, only lingering for a fleeting moment before vanishing into the abyss. He was around 21 at the time of his first clear memory and as far as the world was concerned, he was on his own. Elliot's earliest clear memory is sitting in a government facility, having the vaccination injected into him while doctors spoke quickly and calmly. He had apparently been infected and arrived wearing a bloodied shirt, fully nude otherwise with cuts all over his legs. He had been given a brief time to recuperate before being explained that if he wanted to stay in civilization, he was going to have to pull his weight. Elliot listed from job to job over the next few months before discovering a library in his city. He quit his job as a maintenance man for the city wall and took up working the the library where he sent most of his free time teaching himself how to read beyond a third-grade level. From this he grew a sense of self and learned what type of person he truly wanted to be. The rest just fell into place.

Specialties:
Navigation in low/no-light environments
close range combat
bartering
simple cartography
simple botany
rock-climbing
culinary skills

Weaponry:
Crowbar
A baseball bat with a metal plate welded to it in addition to small cubes which were then welded to the metal plate
A sharp mind

Other equipment:
Within Elliot's backpack and three divided areas. The smallest area holds seeds Elliot has looted. The mid-range area is partially filled with sand and is where Elliot stores his bullets. The largest of the three areas has enough provisions for two people for three days, enough water to last four days, a compass, personally drawn maps, two pencils, a roll of cloth bandages, a solar powered flash light, a cigarette box containing sticks of chalk, and a half empty bottle of hydrogen peroxide.

Squrmy feel free to post a CS if you like.

Marx the only discrepancy I see in your CS is that you say he was vaccinated at the age of 17 and is now 26 , but the vaccine has only been around for a few years at this point. Otherwise everything looks good.

Oh, my apologies. I didn't see a date for the creation of the vaccination, so I took some liberties in when Elliot could've been vaccinated. When was the vaccination spread to government facilities?

The vaccinations have only been administered in the last 3-4 years or so.

Alrighty, edited the time discrepancies. All should be well.

Lots of running around today, will have my post up tonight.

Looking forward to it.

Finally got a post up for Amira. Marx, feel free to work off it to your advantage.

Hey Krieg, you guys still accepting? If not, it's cool, I kinda took forever on this one.

I have posted, sorry about the delay.

And yeah, Spade, feel free to put CS up. We can always find a way to squeeze your intro in somewhere.

Just letting you all know starting Sunday until Tuesday I will be out of town. I'll have my phone with me, so I can check and comment in the OOC, but no IC until Wednesday...just thought I'd give you all a heads up.

Alright, thanks for the heads up.

Hey Ronnie is already at the well waiting for you all.

Oh okay. I thought that when you said "headed to the well" you were intending for her to do something else between then and now, or make some kind of appearance at the well. I'll edit accordingly.

---

Edits made.

Okay cool thanks...I should be able to get at least one more posting in before Sunday....after that if you all need to move Ronnie around to advance the plot you have my permission (so long as she doesn't suddenly take a header down an elevator shaft...I did have someone try to do that to a character of mine once LOL!)

Ooh, the new guy is putting a gun in Boyd's Long John's face. I like him already!

Ha, anger makes people do foolish things. xD

Just let me know where we are at and I'll get post up within the next 24-48 hours.
