[Scout]

Hey, for those still groupless, that's actually why I made Vincent. I'll send out a PM later.

[Orlan]

I think people will soon notice someone on a golf cart with half a restaurant in the back two seats.

[Scout]

Well, that's my first post ever that resembles anything like that... Hope it's good. I'll do Vincent later - I've got a day / walking trip this morning until the evening, so I'll be spotty (Wi-Fi is pretty common in Eastern Europe, but it's a matter of having time and whatnot).

[agentmanatee]

@SgtEasy

Oh Geeze, sorry about, that. I was just checking up on people for groups before, but I'm pretty sure it's figured out. :)

[agentmanatee]

So what areally the groups gonna be?

I can see me,@ChaoticFox and @Zhaliora cause we are in the same general area, then being related, I'm a teacher at their school... just my suggestion I dunno if the groups are already decided or something

[Orlan]

Well a policeman and his dog, a book worm and a mute woman are in a golf cart with an engineer as another group that'll probably form during the peak time for apocalypse.

[Zhaliora]

scout, me, fox and viet are currently in one.
And unless you want to run solo or form another, ofc we've got room. :3

[agentmanatee]

@Zhaliora yay! I'm not alone now! Lol

[vietmyke]

Er... I'm not gonna be able to post until Monday. I work open to close on weekends

[Shoe Thief]

OKAY! I am getting a post up today then I should be good! :D

[Orlan]

I've come up with a rather nice idea for John, could have him drive from group to group and or place to place ahead of the last group he meets, the postman and cabbie of the apocalypse will ride on a golf cart but I expect it's a nippy little golf cart.

[booooooooks]

I think I'd like to add in an animal companion. Just a little cat, because cats are wonderful.

[Scout]

@ChaoticFox So it looks like Vincent/Constable Woofles and the characters of: @booooooooks, @Orlan, @Caits, and @Nallore are all in a group as well.

[MetalHead]

Finally managed to finish my character. I've had a couple of busy days.

Name: Matiaas Venäläinen

Nickname: Matt, Matty

Age: 36

Gender: Male

Nationality: Finnish

Appearance:

Matiaas

He has a height of 6'1" and weighs 194 lbs. On his left shoulder blade he has the tattoo of a cobra snake. The picture also shows his current attire with the addition of a pair of black jeans and leather boots of the same color. I chose Charlie Hunnam as faceclaim because he looks like a nordic person very well.

In-Depth Personality: Matiaas is an independent, sometimes rebellious man that enjoys life and doing what he wants. He is friendly and open towards other people. He is very passionate about the things he likes and when he does something he never does it with half-measure. He is receptive towards the needs of others and even likes to help if he can. He is very protective of those he loves or cares about, always wanting to see them safe, even though sometimes he crosses the line, but he never does it with bad intentions. He has a weakness for women and he's basically a sucker for a pretty face, which is something that even got him in trouble once after he was flirting with a woman in a bar and she basically could out and slided his wallet out of his jacket. Luckily for him one of his friends stopped her before as she was running away. Although usually a calm person, he dosen't like being told what to do or to be bossed around and might not react well, depending on the situation.

Character background: Born in Finland, in the northern city of Rovaniemi, Matiaas was 11 years old when his father moved to Canada to work. The rest of his family, including Matiaas followed him three years later. He adapted quite well to life in Canada and learned the english quite easy. Passionate about music and a huge metal fan, Matiaas started taking guitar lessons and he dreamed of starting his own metal band. At the age of 18 he got his first guitar for his birthday. Around the same time, he together with his best friend, native canadian Carter Jones created the metal band called Forsaken. Matiaas was the lead vocalist and the lead guitarist and Carter was the rhythm guitarist and also provided backing vocals. But in order for this to be a proper band they needed a couple more positions filled. So Matiaas organized auditions in his apartment for the position of drummer. After three days of auditioning Matiaas and Carter settled for african-american Dwane Williams.

Now that they had a somewhat proper band Matiaas, Carter and Dwane put their creative juices to work and created a couple of songs, in a make shift studio in Matiaas's apartment. Despite still needing a bassist, Matiaas provided bass duties at least in the studio versions of the songs. Shortly after the recording process started however Matiaas recieved several complaints from his neibourghs about the noise but people started to get used with it in time. They made a demo tape with five songs that they sent to numerous recording labels. They started performing several gigs at night clubs. For these gigs Carter came up with one of his oldest friends, Josh Bennett, canadian as well, to play bass guitar as a live member. The songs they played were the five ones from the demo tape plus several covers of songs from famous metal bands. Slowly but surely Matiaas was seeing his dream come to life.

Unfortunately they didn't get any answers from any of the record labels they sent their demo tape too. This went on for the next three years. In the meantime, Matiaas and his band started playing in clubs throughout all of Canada not just their native Toronto. Josh continued to be a live member only with Matiaas still playing the bass in his home studio. Eventually they got a response from a record label which was interested in signing them. Matiaas, Carter and Dwane accepted the terms and signed a contract for four albums with the respective label, which also told them that it wants the first material from them in six months. The guys promised they will deliver and the next day they began recording in a proper studio, provided for them by the label. Also Josh was promoted to full time member of the band. After five months and three weeks of asidous work, Matiaas, Carter, Dwane and Josh came up with their first album as Forsaken. The album was called "Depths of Insanity", it was very guitar driven and contained twelve songs.

Now in 2018, after 18 years of career Matiaas and his band, Forsaken are still going strong and with the line-up still containing Carter, Dwane and Josh. Their discography contains six studio albums, two live albums and one compilation that contains b-sides and unreleased tracks. They sold over 4 million and a half albums most of them in the United States with their native Canada being 2nd. Their style changed many times from the doom metal of the 1st album to the sludge metal of the 2nd album to a combination of heavy metal and sludge metal that was maintained throughout their next three albums. Their last album, called "The Neverending Road" contains heavy metal, mixed with doom metal and some hardcore punk. This album also contains two ballads, the band's first. These were written and composed by Matiaas exclusively. One was dedicated to his parents who passed away a couple of years ago in a car accident and the 2nd was about his relationship with his ex-girlfriend which went from good to bad to worse. In the meantime Matiaas also became a businessman, owning a motorcycle shop that he opened eight years ago. He also got into firearms lately, learning how to shoot and use various types of firearms.
