Hanz

Name: Hanz Adalhard "Plague Doctor"
Age: 27
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 196lbs
Nationality: German
Appearance:

Fighting Style: Hanz prefers to keep something sharp on him when getting into a fight, using his knowledge of the human body to stab just the right places.
Specific Skill: Medic
Bio: After the end Hanz took to wandering, roaming across the country in his Hanomag, being one of the few remaining with medical expertise it wasn't all that hard to find business, often able to trade his services for what he needs. The nickname "plague doctor" came from how often he wears a gas mask when dealing with people, reminiscent of how the old doctors wore Raven masks. He saw the reward for Mercer's job worth the risk and came down to offer his services for the trip.

Hanomag

Name: Sd.Kfz. 251 "Hanomag"
Apperance:

Firepower: 5
Grip: 20
Frame: 20
Acceleration: 5
Top Speed: 5
Flavor Text: Hanz's father had been somewhat of a collector, getting this vehicle and spending a summer with Hanz restoring it. Since the collapse of society he's made a few modifications, mainly to increase it's speed slightly and turning the back into more of a cargo compartment. An MG42 still sits in it's mount on the front, though as Hanz has no ammunition for it, it is mainly for intimidation.

Age: 28
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 178 lbs
Nationality: American
Appearance:

My Hider

He wears a US Army jacket and fatigues, and has a keffiyeh wrapped around his neck.

Fighting Style: Choi Kwang Do
Specific Skill: Mechanic
Bio: Calvin worked as a mechanic in the US Army before the end happened. Stationed at Fort Benning, he and his unit were among the first to answer the Government's call for aid. After the failure of the US Government to maintain order, Calvin stole an Oshkosh M-ATV, and made his way to his home in Florida, and waited the disaster out. After the dust settled, he put his skills to use, fixing other vehicles and performing runs for local leaders, living out of his car. Just recently, he's heard the rumor of a large payout for a risky run, offered by a man named Mercer...

Firepower: 1

Acceleration: 9
Top Speed: 10
Flavor Text: A modified MRAP A-TV, the Oshkosh was stolen by Calvin when he deserted the Army. In the ensuing chaos of the collapse, the Army could barely spare any man power to look for a lost vehicle and an engineer. Now stripped of its weapons, the Oshkosh is just a very stable car that Calvin uses to get from point A to point B

Valour Valentine

Name:Valour Valentine also known as 'Val'
Age: Early 30's
Height: 5'5"
Weight:: 56-57kgs
Nationality: American (Old New York)

Appearance:

Defining physical characteristics: Dark, troubled eyes hide behind her dust filter mask with black kohl smudged as eyeliner to reduce the glare on the road. Her smile is neither comforting or cheerful but rather audacious and cheeky. A number of rarely seen tattoos cover her body in places while sections of her arm and back skin is marred by the mottled colours of burn scarring, a result of high speed accident a few years back. Usual choice of clothing include fire resistant racing suits, flat boots and gloves.

Fighting Style: Aggressive and fast- a mix of techniques brought from a few disciplines- Mainly Aikido for speed, fluidity and deflection. Relies heavily of her reflexes and avoiding close combat (due to her size most opponents have a strength advantage so key is not to let them get close enough to get ahold of her.) Not afraid of using her environment to gain the upper hand.

Specific Skill: Bartering/Gambling

Bio:

Fortune favours the brave

"Oh hun, whatchya wanna know? I'm one of the best racers here on the East Coast.. that should say it all. Been racing since I could reach go-kart pedals and ain't nothin here I can't drive either. Wanna have a run?" winks cheekily "Nah I didn't think so, little too much for you to handle eh, anyway I gotta be runnin, heard some mutherfucker down in Florida is offering Fifty G's to run a supply route. Easy cash hun, easy cash"

Valour is in way too deep, she placed a few too many substantial bets that never payed off. They say gambling is only an addiction if your loosening. Well Val lost and now owes the "Big Boss" of NYC a hefty sum of credits. Through a few contacts she heard of this Mercer guy needing escorts for his gig, sure she could stay in the city running races and watching the cash flow trickle in but BB's boys were breathing down her neck and it would be safer to just get outta dodge. The fifty thousand credits he offered would cover half of what she owe, give her a little room to move and if she could stand to make a little extra off the suckers running the job with her... Well... Perfect.

Banshee III

Name: Banshee III
Appearance:

Firepower:3

Grip: 17

Frame: 2

Acceleration:20

Top Speed:13

Flavour Text:
The Banshee is a fast skirmish vehicle. Lightweight, manoeuvrable with and extremely quick acceleration and top speed. It excels in the streets of the abandoned cities, dodging and screaming around the tight turning and drifting corners that the city offers. Perfect choice for street racers and those who need a responsive quick vehicle. But with all its benefits comes those unsavoury drawbacks- these include a diminished armouring leaving it susceptible to ram damage and road wear & tear. Also to keep the vehicle light weight leaves it only able to carry a small selection of equipment, fitted with only driver and navigator seats and a smaller fuel tank leaving the driver on the constant prowl for fuel.
The Rotary engine's distinctive 'screaming' has given the off-roader to be called a Banshee as it's usually the last sound that those unlucky few hear before they die.

Valour acquired the Banshee a few years ago after wining a local off-road night race. The unskilled driver at the time neglected to navigate 'Gallows Gap' resulting in his death and Val claiming victory and the remains of the buggy. Banshee II was hurriedly built but then just as quickly written off by a disgruntled client claiming Valour had cheated him out of a few thousand credits (sucker didn't read the fine print). The current Banshee has been improved with a 13B Turbo Rotary engine (previous 12A) and lives true to the scream of a Banshee.

Character

Name: Andreis Ulysses
Age: 31
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 191 lbs.
Nationality: Scandinavian

Appearance:

Fighting Style: Kickboxing. Technique focuses on hard, quick, subduing blows.
Specific Skill: Scavenging (tools, items, parts, ammo, etc.)

Bio: The end of society as we knew it affected a lot of people quite differently, needless to say. The 'normal' people with casual lives and city experiences were quickly cut down, while many of the more rural and survivalist folk would keep going as if not a damn thing had happened. Among these kinds of people, Andreis found himself in the right kind of upbringing- he was able to blossom from his uncomfortable life as a slummy rat in a second-hand apartment and thrive well enough in the wake of the apocalypse.

With the only prejudice now concerning the size of one's proverbial balls, Andreis would end up right at home in the remnants of humanity's world, simply getting by in his own quiet way. And while he wouldn't have normally paid a thought over an odd job like this, sometimes you just can't help but decide go and reach out for something a little bit bigger.

Vehicle

Name: Wingjack
Apperance:


Firepower: 9
Grip: 12
Frame: 8
Acceleration: 14
Top Speed: 12
Flavor Text: A vintage muscle car that has passed through many hands, seeing many injuries and modifictations before ending up in Andreis's hands - this followed the death of the previous owner, who didn't have the good sense to watch his feet and stepped on a land mine. Not much of the original car remains, a lot of the housing or parts either stripped away or replaced, like the wheels and the engine. The resulting vehicle serves as a machine sturdy enough to house a mounted weapon while quick enough to keep pace with light buggies. The top hatch is the only convenient entrance, as the doors have been welded on to serve as protective plating.

Gear

• Brass Knuckles
• Mounted Gatling Gun (30 rounds)

Nashota Locklear.

Name:
Nashota Locklear; goes by Nash.

Age:
31.

Height:
5'6.

Weight:
In the range of 145-150.

Nationality:
American; full-blooded Native American.

Nash.

Nash doesn't look very intimidating at all. She's of a smaller frame, with a very soft and womanly face. However, the hardness in her eyes, the set of her jaw, and the way she more so grins rather than smiles shows there's more to her than a pretty face. She will use her looks to manipulate and will act innocent/helpless if it would help her... then she would strike. Her skin is a darker-than-usual caramel color, being out in the sun did that to a person, but she does cover up to protect her skin, if she could handle the heat that day. She has been considering cutting her thick and dark hair for a while now, since it always seemed to get in the way, but the stupid, weak thing called melancholy that rose up in her at the thought made her not do it each time. Instead, she usually has her hair tied back, but pieces always manage to fall out and get in her face.

Fighting Style:
Nash fights dirty. She will throw sand in someone's eyes. She will hop onto taller things, if around, to be at a higher advantage. She will fight hard and fast and dirty, and have no shame about it. She had to learn quickly, at a young age, how to defend herself. However, she didn't learn a specific type of fighting style; instead, she ducks, weaves, dodges, and will do almost anything for the upper hand. She has too, because strength is not on her side compared to a lot of the people in this new world. She's very good at using the things around her for leverage and is light on her feet, adding to her advantage of being able to jump onto things with ease, or to move away quickly.

Specific Skill:
Lockpicking/breaking into things.

Bio:
Hailing from the Apalachee tribe in Northern Florida, life was hard from the get-go. Nash never talks about it. She learned how to be tough, adaptable, and how to take a good hit. So, when the basic end of the world came, she easily transgressed into the new, harsh world, fitting right in. She kept to Florida a lot, staying around her old tribe; some of the other members had survived and stayed at the reservation, whereas she came and went. She doesn't really need the money for anything special; she's just tired of sitting around and doing nothing, so what the hell. The money would be a hefty bonus for a dangerous yet exciting adventure.

Mal.

Firepower:

Grip:
13.

Frame:
25.

Acceleration:
10.

Top Speed:
6.

Flavor Text:
Nash fought for this car. She isn't much of a car whiz, at all, so she knew she needed to steal one already prettied up to have good transportation on her side. A few weeks into the end, this car came rolling up onto her reservation, a guy thinking he could take easy advantage of the few people at the reserve. She wanted the car very badly. So, she fought for it, and won. It was a hard fight, a fight to death but she came out on top and got her car. She was able to modify some of the outside, it was under the hood that confused her, and before the journey, she had broken into a cargo trailer and found some things that could be spikes installed onto Mal, which she will install before the job.

Gear.

Barbed wire bat.
Border spikes that'll be installed before the journey is underway.

Flavour Text:
Ole Reliable earned it's name by being the oldest thing the Jones family had ever owned. It belonged to Williams grandfather who used to be a wandering trader. It got passed down to William and despite a few very generous offers from people to buy it, and even a few attempts at theft, he never wanted to use anything else. It got him at of quite a few bad spots, and so long as he takes care of it, it will take care of him.
