Estelle

Estelle Marie Forrester

~Stands at 4'8 | Age 18 | Hair goes well past her waist that she keeps back in a braid | Hails from Los Angeles, California~

Generally a quiet girl, Estelle normally fades into the background. She is the kind of person who prefers to take the pictures, not be in them. She is usually a very passive and kind person. She does not like violence though just because she doesn’t like it doesn’t mean she won't resort to it to keep the people she cares about safe. She is an easy-going person and very agreeable. This doesn’t mean she doesn’t have an opinion however and she is not afraid to tell it if she is comfortable around you. However, she can be very stubborn if she feels like it.

A decent cook, Estelle is wary around knifes from the time she almost took her thumb off when chopping vegetables for dinner. She is a night owl and not much of a morning person. She can be very OCD when it comes to certain things, especially her room. Having never had a boyfriend or even kissed a member of the opposite sex before, she is painfully clueless about the romance world.

To say Estelle had been loved as a child would be over-exaggerating. Her father was a wealthy business man for a computer company and her mother didn’t work. Her parents had not married for love but to bring two wealthy families together. Her father was always at work and her mother was out at parties all hours of the day. Estelle had a nanny that took care of her. Her parents never paid attention to her and when they did they were detached, not really caring about the conversation going on. Estelle eventually stopped trying to get her parents to notice her after she made a horrible grade on a test just to see how they would react. Her father never looked up from his tablet and her mother just gave her a customary glance, replying “That’s nice dear.” Estelle faded into the background and even though she was surrounded with so much stuff, she was horribly lonely. So, she took to reading every book she could get her hands on. She was found in the library more often than not. She just loved how she could escape to the worlds between those pages. The things she read about fascinated her and so she took pursuing the things she read about, such as learning how to fight or to shoot a bow. Her parents never came to any of her competitions but Estelle wasn't doing it for them, she was doing it for herself. These skills soon proved useful when the world went to hell.

Weapons/Vehicle

1. Bow.

2. Throwing Knives.

3. Gun she had in case of emergencies.

Abilities

1. She excels at hand-to-hand combat.
2. Is excellent at Free-Running and Parkour
3. Is very light, fast and agile on her feet.
4. Very flexible.

Tattoo

She has a tattoo on her lower back that says "Take these broken wings and learn to fly".

Theme Song- How Do You Love Someone?

She has a fear of heights, thunderstorms, and she hates people grabbing her suddenly.

*sees this is in free RP*

Expect lengthy-ish posts.

Working on a non-flat character

[themadhatter420]

@XxLyraxX

I like your character but I have a request on the gun xD that type of gun is really rare (if its even invented yet). Even soldiers don't have guns that. Change the gun to a more modern weapon and your character is accepted

[themadhatter420]

@Foster

no worries :) don't be afraid to post as much as you'd like.

Thank you ^^ I look forward to rping with you.

Almost done.

Name: Wilson Taggart | Age: 25 | Gender: M

Appearance: Glasses, greatcoat, gloves, boots, scarf similar.
Hair may have grown longer and unkempt, hat may be different [stocking-cap, surplus helmet with a cross on it, flat-cap] or simply not there.
Also included would be a medium backpack, improvised pack-frame, bedroll-pack, and a butt-pack.

Where you from?: Prairie Du Chein, Wisconsin (pronounced "Prairie Doo-Seen", gotta sneak a 'lil French-Eskimo into your dialect)

Personality: Careful and precise, despite a reckless fatalist attitude. His altruistic tendencies have generally meant a good reputation. His wary shrewdness however stems from a long history of people who take advantage of his generosity.

Back Story:

Weapons: Customized Mosin Nagant, straight-bolt with side-slung scope, dat bayonet, a 3/4 length #3 fire-axe, and a folding-shovel.

Vehicle: Well, there was a car. But that ran out of fuel in the first month. Ended up 'liberating' a horse + carriage from an abandoned Amish farm that didn't get the warning in time.

Other: A bit of a history-buff/survivalist. Is moderately deaf and severely blind on the left side. Stocks a rather surprising amount of medical supplies. Enjoy our cuisine, I did mention he knows how to cook, right?

Edit also: Figured out the how and why one rolls-up a greatcoat.

@themadhatter420

You have no idea how much laughter occurs when an [American foreigner?] fails to understand when the pilot warns that the terminal is going to be a short walk away and it's twenty five below zero.
-Alternately, warning the college-kids during summer-tours that exposed mid-riffs are suicidally-silly.

"But there is nothing below zero!"

Heh, no

My simple explanation is pretend the feeling it is to walk outside in 32 degree weather when only dressed for weather in the 80s. And you *ARE* dressed for freezing temperatures. Windchill is a 2x multiplier.*
-Same goes for just about any video about driving on ice, ever.

*Hence why scarves are awesome at keeping your face/head warm.

That said, I have issues comprehending sustained human life above 98.6 degrees.
-If I have to sweat, I'm doing it wrong up here.

We also have slightly entertaining geography at our parks.
-It's no Grand-Canyon, but that sign ain't lying. <- Note kid leaning on tree.

@Foster

Good point :) Welcome to The Walking Dead Everyone!

[Foster]

*wonders if Prip knows the technique of the messerfecht barfighting technique, AKA: German school of fencing, it involves lots of grappling and a ridiculously heavy sword. Using the leverage and inertia of the sword, it was often possible to twist a person's arm off; getting the hilt to the face still meant a face-full of about ten to fifteen pounds of cold-steel performing blunt-force dental-work.

Well, Langes-Messer, technically it's a knife and not a sword due to how the handle is made (seriously, a minor technicality that meant they were literally EVERYWHERE).

-Also, before I went blind I did quite a bit of archery-practice and shooting-instruction.

@Foster While personally my combat expiereince is only martial arts and paintball, my char can fence and shoot, being from a rich family.

[Foster]

<-- Has no 'combat' experience either. More like a few childish brawls involving a brick to the back of the skull (which is why I'm deaf on the left side, btw).
-So you're on your own if people start shooting at you through cover. I do know that if you let someone with a battle-rifle too close to you, they can send a bullet through a tree-trunk or sandbag and right into the person behind it.

@Error Thompson reproduction?
Even back in the 1940's, the Thompson (all versions) had a known issue of breaking and being an utter pain in the ass to fix when people where shooting back. Especially at night.

Worked great when it worked; a full ammo-drum doubled it's weight up to that of a loaded M1918A4 B.A.R. though.
(.45 ACP isn't much lighter than a .30-06 round, just smaller and MUCH less powerful [has issues penetrating cover])
-It was often fired from the hip because firing it while standing from anything other than a benchrest was an utter pain.
(stick-mags are the exception, which btw, the dovetail-groove complicated reloads but were necessary to keep the magazine aligned before magazine-wells were developed)

Also, due to the machine-gun 'ban' of 1936, privately-owned Thompsons (and replacement parts) are rare since the reproductions weren't allowed to have parts-commonality to the originals and existing ones are nearly non-transferable.

A semi-auto-only version is still pretty deadly in the right hands, though.

Note to others:
A Ford Transit (truck) is a box-van/cube-truck.

@Error

once you finish it up with personality and back story you will be accepted. We got a mobster in the house. Also how much ammo do you have for your machine gun by chance? Its a tad much for zombies since no silencer but I will allow it if you don't use it all the time.

[Pripovednik]

@Foster What's it like, if you don't mind me asking?
