MADISON "MADDIE" PARKER



Name:
Madison Louise Parker.

Age:
Twenty-two.

Gender:
Female.

Appearance:
Madison stands at a tall height of five foot nine inches, weighing at around one hundred and thirty nine pounds, having quite an athletic build. Her brown hair reaches mid-way down her back but is normally braided to one side or thrown up into a messy ponytail. With her pale skin, her stormy blue eyes are very noticeable. Normally wearing black jodhpurs, small black ankle boots, a white polo shit with an old camo jacket she used to adore.

Brief Personality:
Forceful, original, and sensitive. Tends to stick to things until they are done. Extremely thorough, responsible, and dependable. She has well-developed powers of concentration. Very individualistic, rather than leading or following. She is a high risk-taker, living for the moment. Uncomplicated in her desires. Shown to be loyal to anyone who deserved it but has extreme trust issues and is hard to crack into. Being by herself most of the time, Madison has learned to not trust anyone and keep herself to herself. Detached and analytical, they excel at finding solutions to practical problems. Maddie tends to be through everything she has been through very cold hearted. Grown to be very devious too.

Background:
Being two at the time of the bombs fell Madison was moved around a lot with her parents. They did everything they could to keep their little girl safe, going to drastic measures and taking risks just for her. But Maddie only remembers them in sketchy details due to the fact that when she was around five they abandoned her in their first settlement. They left as the settlement began to fall apart, going against the good morals they were supposed to follow by and have. People killed people for reasons that weren't good enough and stole from good people. Madison's parents decided to leave as soon as they felt everything go down hill but they left Madison to try and fend for herself. Being delirious, she gathered up some supplies and left to find her parents but without finding them, ended up alone.

Being as young as she was wondering the wilderness, as expected the next settlement which she passed by took her in. They made sure she was well looked after and the good people who did take her in began to teach her the ways to survive. Knowing she couldn't stay in their settlement they wanted her to at least be capable of surviving out on her own. She stayed with these people for as long as she could so she wasn't alone and would learn as much as she could. Madison saw a lot of the world when they were moving, things someone of her age should never have seen before but in the world that they lived in, that was seen to be normal. When she reached the age of around seventeen, they dumped her leaving her for dead and showing how little they grew to care about her. Again, she was alone.

Madison carried on moving, sometimes she got accepted into settlements but she swore to herself that she could never stay. She never opened herself up to anyone else and she never again trusted anyone. There was no one who kept together, they got bored of people and dumped them out onto the streets. Maddie knew that you could never trust any of the people who walked the Earth today because she grew to work out that they worked in the same way. They best way she thought was to keep to herself, stay away from anyone or anything that could be bad news and not to get too attached to anywhere. Nowhere was home.

Nomadic or Sedentary:
Nomadic.

Alone or With Someone:
Alone.

Any Unusual traits? Does it show physically?:
Long, tough, razor sharp nails showing physically, heightened senses. Stronger than average.

Weapons:
Two hidden combat knives and compound crossbow with a quiver backpack of bolts.

Skills:
Main outdoor survival skills, knowing and understanding the uses of all the elements of survival. Shelter, fire, cooking, drinking water, food and a natural hunter. Extremely good at stealth. Very agile. She is an amazing climber and can often use the use her nails to climb trees, finding cover but can find other ways to climb buildings etc. Having a good eye for aim with a crossbow but can resort to close combat if needed. Preferred and better off with the crossbow.

Other:
In her quiver backpack she carries her essential supply she needs.

Name: Rich Damsey

Age: 49

Gender: Male

Nomadic or sedentary: Sedentary

Weapons: M4 carbine with 6 bullets (mostly just holds it for intimidation purposes), sidearm with 3 clips, combat knife

Skills: Disciplined, a good leader, has an air of authority around him

Unusual traits: A mutation gives him enhanced senses, in the heat of the moment time slows down for him

Appearance:



Brief Personality: Serious, no nonsense, old guy who craves order and discipline. "Old fashioned" in a lot of ways

Background:
Rich remembers what it was like. He remembers coming home to his parents, eating a warm meal, and most of all, he remembers civilization. He misses the people, the nightly news, hell sometimes he even misses advertisements. He was a young man by the time things went to shit, and he thought for sure that the news about escalating tensions was just another media frenzy over nothing. He was too busy going to school for political science to worry about the world ending.

From day one, he sought out other people. It could never be the same, but Rich was determined. Rich drifted around, looking for community, or just something that resembled civilization. He realized that bandits were better at organizing than actual upstanding people, so he started his own band of do-gooders, promising shelter and community to all who came in peace. For three years they slowly built something like a home, numbering in the dozens and even getting some crops growing. The word got out about the safe haven by the East Coast of the United States. Of course, with benevolent friends looking for refuge came trouble also, from marauders who saw something to destroy.

Rich is haunted by the fact that he failed to go down with his ship, but there was nothing left for him to do. The survivors scattered from his little community, and all in different directions. He didn't want to travel anymore but the decimation of his home left little choice. He would have to start over somewhere else, try again, be more strict this time about who can come in. He decided to head toward the ruined city of New York, hoping to find others who wanted stability and order instead of lawlessness and anarchy.

Alone or with someone: Alone

Other: Wants to establish a new government and rebuild more than anything. His older age and lack of medicine means that he's lost a step, but his mutation allows him to hold his own in a fight. He doesn't care much for his own life, just establishing a legacy and some kind of hope for future generations.

Name: Zin Jakur

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Nomadic or sedentary: Sedentary Nomad. Moves when necessary.

Weapons (Don't go crazy): M24 Sniper Rifle, Two razor-sharp daggers with black leather grips and black blades.

Skills: Having been using them for some time, Zin is very proficient with his weapons. In addition, he can move with a high degree of stealth. When he chooses, his footfalls are silent and his motions difficult to notice. His fingers are deft from a lifetime of thieving and he's an expert pickpocket. He can pick most locks with a bobby pin and a needle.

Any unusual traits? Does it show physically?: Zin can blend in with his surroundings when moving under the cover of shadow. Even if one were to look directly at him they wouldn't notice unless they shined a light directly onto him.



Brief Personality: Quick-witted and brash, Zin has a sharp retort for just about everything. He's prone to sneaking up on people but hates it when people sneak up on him. He's rather jumpy and nervous, from a lifetime of never being safe from more than a night. He's mistrustful of everyone, and never seems to be able to put down his guard.

Background: Currently in the ruins of New York City.

Zin's parents died from the missiles. His older brother took care of him and they joined up with a thieving gang who made use of his older brother's sneaking skills. When a mission went wrong, Zin's brother used to take his anger out on him. Zin got used to being beat as a child. In fact, many members of the crew started taking their anger out on Zin. Even the ones he liked, that he thought he could trust, betrayed him by beating him. He suffered through it all, telling himself that with every hit he would only grow stronger.

Eventually, a job went wrong and Zin's brother died in it. That night, Zin got the worst beating of his life from the crewleader. The next morning, Zin ran away. He ran for what felt like forever before he stumbled upon an elderly couple. They fed him, clothed him and then used him to break into a food supply. They promised him 1/3 of the food, but then ran away with all of it. They too betrayed him. He vowed to never trust anyone again.

Zin lived on the streets by himself for the next several years. He stole clothes, food, water, weapons, pretty much everything he could to keep himself alive. His only goal was survival and his only skills were stealing. Eventually, Zin ran into another thieving crew. It had been so long since he was betrayed by the elderly couple, he decided to trust someone again. The new crew used him, betrayed him, and left him alone again.

For the last two years, Zin has been traveling alone. Resolved to never trust anyone. He acquired his weapons by scavenging and stealing.

Alone or with someone?: Alone

Why would Patrick need to tag along with anyone? He's a big boy now, with his superhuman body and senses, and his melding his brain with the computahs.

He can handle it.

Did a 2 hour writing marathon for the Background. I probably over-did it.
Do I copy it to the Characters tab or is it unnecessary?

@Xilaw Can I be you? I assume the writing is actually of good quality, but you never know. All I know is that writing backgrounds gets so boring for me. Personality and appearance I could write for days, but there are so many interesting things you can fit in someone's life, and I never know how to make them sound noteworthy without being over the top.

Well, I've been pondering what to write since yesterday :D and I'm terrible with describing appearance so I just found a photo instead and gave basic outfit.
To be honest, I'm not a native English speaker but I think I did my job right as far as grammar goes. Now, as far as quality writing, I'll have other people be the judge. I'd actually like to hear some tips in that regard.

By the way, my usual course of action regarding background is that I split it up in several pieces (usually it's different periods of life, e.g childhood, teenager years, adulthood, etc.), then I think of each part separately whenever I feel like during the day. Once I'm done with the basic idea I put it all together adding more things as I go. And voila. I get a life story of a mentally-ill yet brilliant 33 year-old kleptomaniac.
