Take your time :D

[Inda]

Name: Nancy Harper

Age:29

Description: 65.media.tumblr.com/8b3a1ec3133c8d3d38..
Occupation: Nurse
Branch of government worked for: N/A
Location you were working in: Stillwater Vale Asylum

History: Nancy was the only child of two Navy officers. She moved around a lot and assumed she would join the Navy once she graduated high school. When she was 12, she was in a car wreck. Both of her parents died, and she was hospitalized with a fractured spine. Her grandfather became her legal guardian. It took a lot of physical therapy to get her to walk again, but she did manage it. It was clear, though, that this injury would keep her from ever joining the military. She was told they were struck by a drunk driver, but something inside Nancy made her believe she was being lied to, though she never had any proof.

In high school, a field trip to the hospital she was treated at made her realize she was interested in pursuing the medical field, and she began studying to go into nursing. Upon graduation from college with a Nursing degree, Nancy took on a job working at a VA Hospital. It was while working here that her grandfather died of a stroke. Reeling from grief and fed up with the system that made it impossible for veterans to get help, Nancy began applying to different hospitals with military affiliation. A year after beginning her search of work, she was offered a position at Stillwater Vale Asylum, which she accepted immediately.

Personality: Nancy is an empathetic woman with the skill and disconnectedness that allows her to assess what a person needs and administer it- even if it's not what they want. She is still dealing with the grief of her grandfather's passing, and so comes across as sadder and wiser than she might otherwise. When not dealing with grief, Nancy enjoys singing to patients and playing checkers and chess. She finds her life to be very boring. Work takes up nearly all of her time.

Skills: Nancy is a skilled nurse. She is very empathetic- sometimes eerily so, picking up on invisible cues that lead her to assess people very accurately. She draws, most often caricatures, and hangs them around her office. She sings to patients, but she isn't trained. Just an amateur that sounds halfway decent.

Likes: She loves playing chess and checkers, and can even boast that she's good at it (though she was never able to beat anyone who competed, like her Grandfather). Nancy enjoys talking to people and learning more about them, allowing herself to escape into the adventurous lives that military personnel got to live, something she wasn't able to do.

Dislikes: Nancy does not like deep water, and she refuses to drive a car. She prefers to take public transportation wherever she can, or walk. Nancy dislikes being lied to a great deal.

Extra: Her back injury is healed, but it did leave some damage. Every so often her back will seize up, and sometimes she cannot stand or walk for long periods of time. She tries to work through it, but often ends up having to take pain killers when it gets to be too unbearable, especially if she has to lift heavy objects.

[Metronome]

Name: Sasha Belov
Age: 32
Gender: Male

Nationality: Russian

Occupation: Gun for hire

Branch of government worked for: He was hired to do some dirty work on the DL, but when the media found out about him, the government claimed that he was just a rogue and that they had no connections to him.

Personality:

Described as intense and driven, Sasha is not a guy you want to make an enemy of. He's intelligent, level headed, collected, and when he sees fit, unnaturally cold. With the heart of a soldier, Sasha will stop at nothing to complete a task he's set his mind on. His sheer will and determination make him a valuable ally.

The softer side of Sasha isn't something many people get to see. For one, he doesn't have many people to show it to, outside of his very small friend circle. Afraid of getting too close to other people, lest he be jaded, Sasha doesn't associate with others a whole lot. But when he's decided that your his friend, a warmer, gentler giant begins to emerge. He values close bonds above all else, making his friends the most important things in his life. He doesn't have many, but those he does have, he'd protect with his life.

Appearance: Sasha is a very large man. He stands five inches short of seven feet tall, solidly built and muscular.
He has pale skin and dirty blonde hair that is kept in a neat buzz cut. His eyes are a gray-ish blue, and cold as ice. He wears mostly old military pants and shirts, in drab green and tans.

Other: Sasha speaks with a Russian accent. He speaks several European languages fluently, Russian and English being his best of course.

Skills: Your usual military training applies. He's proficient with most guns, but is particularly skilled at hand to hand combat. Has been known for one punch knock outs. He also has some experience in leadership.

Likes: Gardening, traveling, cool weather, reading, tinkering with electronics

Dislikes: People who are general assholes

History:

Sasha grew up in Kazan, Russia. His mother overdosed when Sasha was 5. He was left to be raised by his father, who fell into depression after the loss of his wife. His father wasn't the kindest, and often times was abusive. After Sasha's mother had died, he had essentially lost interest in being a father. He would often invite his loud and obnoxious friends over to watch soccer games, drink, and play poker while Sasha hid in his room and pretended not to exist. Sasha wanted to get out of the house as soon as he could, and joining the military seemed like the best option. However, Sasha had something of an authority issue when he was younger. His father's poor job of raising him had turned him into a rebellious punk.

After six years of service, Sasha slowly lost some of that punk kid attitude. He was eventually promoted to a second lieutenant and given his own, small platoon. They were deployed to Ukraine, where Sasha and his men were given orders that went against his own set of personal morals. When he refused to carry them out, he was threatened with everything in the book: treason, discharge, prison, the works. Instead, he just quit. Sasha and several of his men went AWOL. He picked up work as a mercenary, doing things that he knew he wouldn't lose sleep over. Most of the time, he did dirty work for various governments who didn't want to wait around and get things done the 'diplomatic' way.

One such mission sent him to Mexico to gut a base that served as a drug lord haven. The mafia style group had made several threats to attack the lowers US border, and government officials had good reason to believe that they meant business. The base was located right in middle of a ghetto, and any move against the drug lords risked injuring civilians, and thus pissing off Mexican officials. So Sasha was hired to lead a 'rogue team' to destroy the base. They were successful, but when a civilians was, indeed, injured, the media caught wind of mercenaries working for the US government.

Sasha was on his way out of dodge when he was captured by Mexican special forces. He threatened to sing like a bird if the US didn't get him out, so they did. He then conveniently 'disappeared'. Sasha was shipped out to the island a little over a year ago.
