Victor Dawson

Appearance:


Name: Victor Dawson
Age: 30
Skill:
-Cooking. Victor knows some obscure stuff, and at one point worked in a butcher shop (was training to be a michelin chef)
-Small first aid (burns, cuts, stuff you'd expect in a busy kitchen)

Preferred Weapons (up to three):
-Butcher knife
-Shotgun
-Flare gun

Personality: Victor is a brilliant cook and knows it.

Good - Generous
Good - Bit of a boy scout
Bad - Ego
Bad - Overconfident "Yeah I can do that"

Brief Bio: Victor had been working in a restaurant in New York for Mandy's mom when everything went wrong. They had been at the restaurant when it all started. Somehow they got out of the city. After they had their falling out Victor joined up with a small group of people, they're all dead now and Victor blames himself. He won't talk about what happened, not even to Mandy, but she thinks he had gotten separated from the rest of the group only to find them three days later.

Since reuniting with Mandy he has developed some feelings for her, but knows she would never love him. He has not told her, and thankfully Mandy hasn't picked up on it.

Mandy Mason

Appearance:


((I feel it is important to say she would not wear those shoes during an Apocalypse))
First Name: Amanda "Mandy" Marie Mason

Sign name: M hand shape smile

Gender: Female

Age: 27

Personality: Mandy got her sign name from her smile. She's always been a bubbly person. She's shy though. Obviously not quite, mostly because she can't tell when she is making noise.

She trust her instincts when it comes to people, as this led to one the best friendships she could have hoped for with June.

Good - Trusting (could also be considered a flaw)
Good - Open minded (goes with the trusting she is accepting of people despite appearances)
Good - Determined (When Mandy puts her mind to something she will do it)
Bad - Loud (Wouldn't normally say that's a negative quality but when your life depends on you being quite this is a flaw)
Bad - Stubborn (goes with determined, if she puts her mind to something there isn't much that will dissuade her)
Bad -

Bio: When Mandy's mother was pregnant she got Rubella, causing underdeveloped hearing in Mandy. This was never a set back for her. She grew up in New York and then moved to the small town that June lived in. The pair started high school the same year, they made an unlikely friendship.

Just before the outbreak Mandy went to visit her mom in New York. While there she met Victor, who worked for Mandy's mom. They were on semi-friendly terms when everything went wrong. Together they got out of the city. Determined to find June, Mandy led Victor on what he believed to be a wild goose hunt. He wasn't pleased and at first they parted ways for a bit. Coincidence brought them back together and they have traveled together since. Mandy is still determined to find June. Victor humors her at this point.

Skills:
-Shooting (thank you June)
-ASL & SEE (Which is so slooooow *dramatic sign for slow*)
-Thespian (She's a great actress)
-Reading people (Probably could be a mentalist, body language is important in sign language)

Weapons:
-Hatchet (working on that arm strength city girl)
-Road flares (3 on hand)
-Pocket knife (a gift from her dad when she moved) (She really hopes she doesn't have to use this)

I like the posting rules. I've used similar before.

Anastasia Kadrutova

Name: Anastasia "Annie" Kadrotuva
Age: 19
Skills:
Sewing - She can sew clothes, but can apply it to sewing open wounds, though.
Singing - Annie has a beautiful Soprano voice, but she is hard-pressed to sing anything but Russian songs.
Soccer ("Futbol") - She is rather good at the sport, but it's pretty useless in apocalyptic settings.

Preferred Weapons -

Personality:
Positive
-Annie is usually optimistic
-Annie tries to see the good in people over the bad.
-Annie has a tender heart

Negative
-Annie's language barrier prevents her from getting very far with people, and said confusion also leads to her often being scared, as she has no idea what's going on.
-Annie can sometimes be Naïve.

Brief Bio:
Annie, born Anastasia Kudratova to Lienna and Maxim Kudratova, grew up in Chelyabinsk, Russia. Her father owned a small store on a street corner, and her mother taught in a local pre-school. At the age of 5, Annie's mother taught her to sew, and she became very good at it. In her 8th year of school, she started dating a guy named Oleg, who attended her same institute. They went on to date until she was in her senior year. The summer after her graduating high-school, their family took a vacation to America, where there experience was hijacked by the outbreak.

When the Outbreak came, she was separated from her parents in the New Orleans hotel. She was forcefully removed by the police in an attempt to evacuate the building, but her parents were nowhere to be found.

[Rithas]

Appearance :

Name : Cricin Galw

Age : 20

Skill :
Slight of Hand/Deceiving: Having been a Magician before the outbreak, Cricin knows how to the generic things a magician has to do for tricks. This does include pick-pocketing, so don't let him near you unless you want things to be missing.

Badmouthin': Cricin is..."creative" at hurling insults. While it doesn't exactly help with the dead who want to eat his face as soon as he's in eyesight. It certainly makes noise. So that helps somewhat.

Sneaky: Cricin finds that he is rather good at sticking to walls and keeping to the shadows. Generally not being too noticeable. Of course if you look at him you'll see him. But most people just kinda don't bother to when he doesn't want to be noticed.

Personality : Cricin is generally a light hearted person, always trying to cheer people up. if sometimes he doesn't know when to shut up. In fact, if somebody isn't talking. Then Cricin will be. For to Cricin silence is annoying and awkward. Though this often leads to him eventually annoying anyone who tends to be near him for a long enough time. Most often Cricin's mouth will do the talking before consulting with his brain. A fault that has led him in many difficult situations. With responding back to almost everything people say without thinking of what he is saying.

Cricin stays very close to his friends (Who are often people who can tolerate him for long enough) Often getting offended at things for his friends. In which normally his friends are stopping him from launching himself at the said person who caused offence (normally only him)

Brief Bio :

Cricin is originally from wales. He had lived there for most of his life. Only arriving in America two years ago when his family decided to emigrate. His Mother taught him the tricks of a magician since that was all he ever wanted to do. Also, it was a great way to make friends. Seeing as most people tried to punch him in the face after a few weeks.

[Darcs]

Sorry if it's barebones, had to borrow friends (shitty, but don't tell him) computer

[Sarpedon]

Attention: It is officially decided. I'm an idiot. I wrote my post on the family computer and forgot to check who was logged in. Little did I know, Panda was logged in. Slap me if you'd like, I deserve it >_<

[Roran Hawkins]

IC OOC treololol no difference to me haha I need more sleep.

@Roran Hawkins

Could you please be so kind as to edit your post? There are a couple of things that aren't right with it, the main thing being that Aubrey uses Broadhead Arrows or fixed blades , NOT hunting arrows. If it were a hunting arrow, taking it out like you described wouldn't have gone too well.

@wolverbells

We'll just assume they've managed to stop the blood loss, at least.

[Sarpedon]

What's the difference between a broadhead and a hunting arrow?

@wolverbells

Broadhead arrowtips are used for hunting and warfare alike. There is no particular type of arrowhead called a 'hunting tip' (except maybe very specialized modern ones) since many arrowheads are universally good for hunting. A broadhead has a wide blade, a moderately sharply tapered tip and barbs, making it ideal versus unarmoured targets such as most animals. Hence that I used the terms like this. Nevertheless, removing it would have gone equally easy because of the extremely short range. At this range, if you have a decently powered bow, the arrowtip will have gone completely through, sitcking out the other side, making removing it a whole lot easier.

Then again, I'll edit it if you insist.

[Sarpedon]

You'd still need to unscrew the nock and strip the fletching off if you want to pull it out without causing more damage. And depending on what kind of broadheads she's using, and where you got hit, you might not be conscious enough to pull it out... Those expanding broadheads are pretty nasty...

[Roran Hawkins]

As I said in my post, my character breaks off the arrowshaft near the entry point, getting rid of the nock and fletching prt altogether, and then pulls the tip through the shoulder which is has already completely pierced. Yes, a modern expanding arrow would have remained stuck and done a lot more catastrophical damage, as would a modern broadhead have done too probably, but since it's nowhere specified that she's using those (and those would be pretty hard to get by unless she had them before the entire thing) I assumed the arrows were relatively simple broadheads.

Also, my character wasn't hit himself, so he has no trouble fixing it :P

BUT if you still want me to alter anything, please let me know.

[Kirah]

@myst As discussed I have made my dark character. For simplicity I put him in the same post as my other two characters.
