Name: Peter Táo
Age: 27
Sex: Male
Appearance: Standing at 6'3, Peter's near towering figure inspires a commanding presence and an unflinching posture. His facial features offer both a warming smile and a ferocious stare. Additionally, the Washington native presents a solidly built upper body frame, balanced lower body conditioning, and capabilities of great physical feats. Several scars along his temples and left cheek provide evidence of extensive tours and patrol duties as do healed bullet wounds along both arms.
History Type: Bunker Boy

Biography: Peter was born a native in the Washington Bunker and forged a life within the former United States Capital's heavily fortified zones. Washington Bunker's well equipped, supplied, and trained ground forces proved a stark contrast against other surrounding wasteland holdouts and the competency within Washington residents proved somewhat of a model towards other Bunkers. As a child, Peter's great grandfather spoke of the days following the devastating nuclear winters when major American green zones began establishing themselves surrounding the Washington Bunker. The Táo family's fate proved fortunate enough to bring them within the bunker's fallout shelters during the nuclear winters alongside many politicians, scientists, doctors, military officers, engineers, and intellects. Sadly, contact between other family members within other parts of the world were lost and given the harsh demands within post nuclear America, Peter's family focused on survival and integration as so many other American survivors did.

Having survived the brunt of the major nuclear fallout; properly coordinated Washington air, armored, and mech elements quickly established what became known as the Columbian Perimeter during a valiant push to fortify and secure vital areas along the Potomac River. Peter's great grandfather, Norman Táo served alongside the remaining United States National Guard and Reserve elements to retain Washington Bunker's stability within the greater D.C. Area and was able to instill pre-nuclear catacylsm values to future generations. Thus, even after Norman's aged passing, the Táo family managed to preserve and incorporate strong American ethical values of the pre-cataclysm age in assisting others during times of hardship while they steadily earned a place amongst Washington Bunker's upper echelons. When his father and uncles were were caught in a horrific, three-way battle between outnumbered Bunker ground elements, U-ARM Insurgents, and hordes of bezerking, mutant colossi, Peter watched from a distance as the doomed Miwaukee Citadel flattened due to saturated ADAM safety protocol artillery salvos. The risks to allowing mutant colossi to spill over to the nearby Bunkers Detroit and Chicago were too great and no attempts to launch rescue operations were ordered. As such, there were few survivors and neither his father, uncles, or Bunker Security Personnel were amongst the living. The chilling memory served as both a haunting reminder to poor judgments amongst Bunker upper echelon officers, the price for sacrificing ground elements for a greater good, and the costs of incompetency. Devastated, Peter returned to Bunker Washington's fortified territory, having resolved to never allow another repeat and as a growing adolescent and as one of the Táo family's oldest males, Peter spent much time in and out of Bunker Washington to assist outlying homesteaders and caravan traders alike while taking up the mantle to serve as a role model for his younger cousins within the regional walls.

When he came of age, the 20th generation Asian American entered one of the Colonies' most rigorous basics with a determined and fiery intensity not seen within many other recruits. True to their name, Washington Bunker's training for enlisted personnel was renowned to involve brutishly rigorous, months-long combat exercises and expected the graduated candidate classes to perform flawlessly. After completing many grueling months' combat and field exercises, Peter joined the famed BWSEC and trained within perfectly preserved pre-war military facilities of the surrounding D.C. Area before deploying alongside other Columbian personnel to further expand the homesteads stretching along the purified Potomac River. Fighting and training alongside Washington Bunker troops demanded an extraordinary excellence found in few other Bunker Security Forces and drew upon pre-nuclear cataclysm standards. As Peter learned, Washington Bunker Security standards held high expectations towards each guardsman, pilot, and listener and thus found no tolerance for incompetence.

Within three years, Peter was approached to enter the ranks of Washington Bunker's quick-reaction, Frontal Assault Shock Trooper branch or better known by their F.A.S.T. Acronym. Peter soon found himself immediately deployed in and around the Northern Colony frontiers where Bunker Washington personnel offered limited assistance to Bunkers Boston and New York Military Personnel as they held the line against increasingly aggressive mutant colossi, well organized U-ARM terrorists, behemoth creature fiends, and nightmarish beasts alike. Following his 8th tour, Peter fell madly in love with a breathtaking member of Bunker Washington's few medical directors and managed to set the frameworks to begin a family; however, before he could fully settle into the Columbian inner walls, times changed. Following urgent distress transmissions from Bunkers Chicago and Detroit regarding an alarming situation concerning a growing Shadow Zone, reserve elements within Bunker Washington's Armed Forces were placed on high alert and fearing a potential overrun of two entire American Bunkers, Bunker Washington Command secretly began organizing a possible military aid package to offer limited support towards Bunker Chicago's beleaguered military elements. Several squadron commanders of Washington Bunker's forces composed of its hand-picked Frontal Assault Shock Troopers were approached to potentially deploy via one way insertion into the Chicago, Lake Michigan Bastion. Wanting nothing more than to prevent a similar Milwaukee repeat, Peter felt more than inclined to reinforce Bunker Chicago to offer black operative assistance against the colony's increasingly hostile, northern frontier ...

Signature: I, GourmetItalia, hereby verify that I agree to Brovo's rules, a la Vlad's Camouflage (and we all know that Vlad has Camouflage). That being said, and I also agree to the fact that even though you, Brovo, can kill my character without my permission; I, GourmetItalia, will also do my best to fully give justice to my character while also covering his friends' backs. This will come in the form of steady lead streams and a desire to unleash lead hell on the enemy.
On a side note, I wish you all fortunes and a speedy return! This theme song came to mind in regards to selected background music:

A couple quick things I want to note I saw in the sheet on my phone. The bunkers are ruled autocratically, they would only have a very limited constitution. As well, no bunker was lost after the formulation of the council. There have been significant losses of life, but Detroit would not have been lost canonically.

Everything else is looking alright t a quick glance. Just remember: Very limited constitution that doesn't impede government operations, Bunker Detroit would not have been lost.

I imagined you as having run out of the building but still staying relatively far from the fog by the apartments, whereas I'm on a building that is close to parallel to the beast. In my mental spatial representation of the scene, you would be perpendicular to my line of fire, and totally safe.

Raen, just a small note: Kiku doesn't really do cocky...More Childish and perhaps a little brash than anything else. If it came across as cocky, then I probably didn't write it clearly enough: so my apologies.

Imagine the kid at school who shouts dibs on stuff left behind somewhere. She means nothing aggressive towards you, just a sort of 'ooh, that's shiny and I kind of want it' sort of reaction.

Nothing important, just wanted to try and paint Kiku slightly differently. I might make an edit if I can see where you might have got the 'cocky/Arrogant/Tone of superiority' feeling from.

Edit: I gave the 'Twinkle-toes' paragraph a little edit, just to make my intentions a little clearer. The bulk of it is the same, she just adds a little extra at the end, and I describe her demeanor a bit more. Hope that clears up any misconceptions.

Name: Liam Grillod

Age: 23

Sex: Male

Appearance:

Liam looks to be made of 10 ply toilet paper, which is to say, soft. Though he stands at a regular height of 5'9" when caught at the wrong angle it would be easy to mistake him for someone nearly half his age. His delicate looking green eyes and round youthful face receive no mercy from other soldiers concerning his orientation and his true gender. Hilarious though they may be, Liam maintains a rather emotionless expression as the day goes on, he is very soft spoken and while not shy does not feel comfortable speaking around most people.

As a result of the constant mockery and in hopes of better protection Liam feels compelled to cover a large portion of his face while on active duty. He feels It helps to promote a more intimidating figure. As such he is commonly seen wearing a shemagh covering most of his mouth and chin, a pair of sunglasses and a fatigue cap to keep his unorthodox sandy brown hair under control. Otherwise seen wearing his normal combat armor when on mission, or fatigues when at rest.

History Type:

Bunker Boy: Your character grew up in the Chicago Bunker their whole lives. This will be one of their only times leaving the Bunker, perhaps even their first time. Your character typically finds it easier to cause others from Bunker Colonies and their supporters to listen and follow, and is often seen as being fairly trustworthy by most measurable standards. They’re also typically up to date on the latest and greatest in technology.

(Bonuses to diplomacy when conversing with other members of Bunker colonies or Council servants, bonuses to using advanced or foreign technology.)

Biography:

As his history suggests Liam was born inside of Bunker Chicago, and has thusly led a particularly sheltered life. Made more so by the fact that his family was one of some standing in the community with their hands picking in several different pies at once. Yes, the family importing business was lucrative enough to put some folk well on their way to joining the council, feed the impoverished and unstable, not to mention pay for some rivals to close shop. All said the protected child grew up believing he'd one day seize control of the family business.

Though what kind of story would that make were that the case? No in this story the golden age that was Liam's childhood fell apart. It began, as all scandals do, with the media discovering Liam's father with his hand in the wrong kind of pie in a run down nursing home. From there public ridicule and domestic dispute took it's course climaxing in the division of their once powerful business. The division was all that upcomers needed to consolidate their assets and hostile corporate takeover wasn't far from there. Leaving the Grillod family with nothing stable to float on. And so it came to be that Liam was penniless and broke, with very few marketable skills.

So what's a guy to do but join the army?

Fingers crossed and hoping for the best, Liam took a dive. Reasoning that the risk he took by enlisting was at least no more than risking his life out in the streets. As luck would have it the military agreed with his assessment of not having many marketable skills. There were no mutations of his DNA and he was barely fit to drive a bicycle let alone a MECH so he was classified as a Grunt and told he'd have the lifespan of a snowball in a nuclear reactor. He hoped it was a joke.

@Everyone: Recruitment is closed until further notice. Those still waiting or working on your sheets, you're still in, just finish them and I'll approve them. Just no more new sheets.

Also, naming rights. Since the creature didn't have a name, now it does: Goleyeith.

@LimeyPanda: Kiku has a free execution on the Vampyr if she wants to. You can one hit kill it in any way you like--the creature isn't designed to react to being spotted, so it has no method of self-defense beyond dying horrible.

@South-East: As a friendly hint, I'd stay away from that orange liquid if I were you...

@Maxim: Marvin Walters, unfinished: No biography!

@GourmetItalia: Peter Táo, approved.

@Orion Icarus: Liam Grillod, error: You can't wear multiple types of armour at the same time. (Light or medium.)

EDIT

@Newcomers: One more posting cycle and then y'all can get introduced. That premonitions bit involves you. ;)

I've had some of those thoughts.

So far, my ideas for dealing with the Goleyeith have been:

Toss a dead person full of explosives for the Goleyeith to eat.
Have a small R/C car or something with explosive on it for the Goleyeith to eat.
Land a building on the Goleyeith.
Purify and purge the Goleyeith with fire.
Someone act as bait, really really fast bait, and run the Goleyeith away.
Tame the Goleyeith over a very long period of time by feeding it people.

Damnit ... I was so stoked on Frankenstein, but oh well ... Goleyeith works too! Actually ... come to think of it; if Goleyeith's got a friend, it would probably be Frankenstein so there's still hope!

Peter is ready for insertion to the South-East or Central Apartment Sectors and awaiting the all clear. Am willing to tag along with either Icarus or Zed for an enhanced reinforcement attempt. Also, due to his ethics, Peter would not be opposed to enter nomination as Goleyeith bait, but he needs a double; after all, two heads are better than one ;).
