[OOC] The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures

[FortunesFaded]

Just to clarify before I post, both Cole and Desmond have reached the apartment complex correct?@FortunesFaded

@CandiBarr

Yes. I edited my original post to reflect Cole's entrance. Cole is right outside your door, while Desmond and Scout are just downstairs, near where Hunter killed that first walker with a shotgun.

[Exit]

@CandiBarr Lol. Easily recognizable I know but pictures of him as Mad Max has always been one of my favorites, even before I knew it was him and what movie it was from.

[Desire]

@FortunesFaded Wait there's more people? Whoops, I'm sorry! If I would have known I would have put that in my post. Ugh, maybe we should put like, location indicators like below our name so it makes it easier? Like this:

Cole Anderson

Apartment Complex near Wilmington, mid-day

Just a suggestion, if not, oh well. I just like to contribute positively.

Also, I'm gonna say there's like, maybe 4 or 5 zombies left at the apartment complex? Three on the steps (well, toppled over each other as they fall down the steps) and two walking in? One for each person! (If you don't count the couple Cole already killed). Does that sound fair? I just figured it'd be a good excuse to get everybody together and make a little action.

[Foster]

Going to be getting back into character for another post.

Ironic-note, one time I RPed a guy in a remote cabin trying to furiously contact the outside-world with morse-code on a hand-made radio while surrounded by vaguely-intelligent zombies upon which headshots did nothing.

Oh, and he was missing a hand, he then had both his legs shattered when he fell from his rescue-chopper... and right into the midst of a couple-thousand crippled crawlers.

Who's laughing now?

[FortunesFaded]

@Desire There were, but they arrived after! Don;t worry, you did nothing wrong. I started typing my post before you posted, but posted it after you, so they arrived after Cole entered the building and I just had to edit that in a bit to fit with it all fluidly.

@Foster Was that your character from Northwards? I seem to recall him breaking his legs..

Also, points for the Red v. Blue link.

@Pirouette

Your up

@FallenTrinity

It appears I am.

[Wade Wilson]

Just btw, I've no idea where I am in relation to everyone else. Right now Todd's by the Wilmington sign with the car crashed into it.

[Neo Anderson]

Anthony "Leo" Strayker


45


C.I.A Analyst


American / Italian

Basic Appearance:

Hair color: Black (salt and pepper now)
Hair length: Short and trimmed (medium length now)
Facial hair: Trimmed goatee (full on beard now)
Eye color: Off blue
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 200 (now 190)
Physique: Toned and in shape (keeps up his toned body as much as possible but has lost some muscle)
Normal Attire: His normal day to day attire is a pair of black scuffed up military style boots, a pair of slightly baggy black colored cargo pants, a black leather belt with gold buckle, a black beater underneath a black polo shirt and a black genuine leather jacket. Also has a broken gold wristwatch on his right arm, a pair of aviators gold rimmed and a black stetson hat made of dark brown leather on his head. Also has duel shoulder holsters on each of his sides for his side arms.

Washington, D.C.

Strengths

- Photographic Memory: Leo is blessed with a memory in which he can remember anything he reads, sees, hears etc. His ability to remember even the smallest details perfectly are what have made him an extremely high asset to the C.I.A. Due to this special gift he has years of experience in the field of strategic assessment.

- Weapon proficiency (small arms and Blade play): Leo is highly trained in the use of pistols, his training makes him an expert shot with almost any make or model of handgun. His specialty guns in which he highly excels in using is the Beretta 92, Glock 23, and the Israel Desert Eagle. His years of field work had given him good training with these select weapons and the proficiency in which he uses them. Also able to use blades he is more then adequate with sword or medium size knives or even smaller blades if need be.

- Hand to hand combat: Leo is trained in the art of unarmed defense he is proficient in Taekwondoe and Krav Maga. He is fully capable of defending himself without the use of a firearm. Years of practice have made him quite good at his chosen disciplines.

Weaknesses

- Age: Leo is unable to deny that his age is catching up to him, years of field work, training and many other physical activities in which he has found himself in have left him with many old wounds and even more scars. Due to this he is not as durable as he once was and does not have as much stamina as younger men would.

- Blemished eye site: Leo is also having issues with his eye site of late the reasons unknown to him, this will when at it worst make it way more complicated for him to shoot an enemy from a medium to far distance with the best proficiency.

- Knee replacement: Given his extreme background in other countries Leo has had a major knee replacement which for the most part keep him fully able to move around and do what he needs to do. But the issue sets in when he overuses his right leg with the knee replacement which can lock his leg up pretty good and cause pretty moderate pain.

- Diminished hearing in left ear: Leo also has hearing trouble in his left ear due to an incident from his past that involved a rather loud weapon going off right next to his ear nearly causing his ear drum to break completely. While it has healed from, time to time when he hears loud shrill noises this can cause him to go dizzy or get disoriented.

Belongings

(He keeps all his keepsakes and belongings inside of an black medium size pack)

- 2x Black connectable Velcro 30 ounce water bottles
- 2x Large bags of pepper style beef jerky
- 1x Box of saltine crackers
- 3x Cans of assorted vegtables
- 1x Can opener
- 1x 60 box of 9mm Ammunition
- 1x Sharpening stone
- 1x Gerber kukri(holster center back)
- 1x Leather bound journal (old)
- 1x Fine tipped pen
- 2x Beretta M9s (holstered in shoulder holsters)

Leo is what you might consider a hard nosed individual who also at the same time has a heart of gold even in the current times. He is an old world styled person who believes that respect begets respect and disrespect begets getting punched the hell in the face. He is the kind of man who would charge head first into a burning building to rescue a child and at the same time a person who would scold you for leaving a child to burn to death while you ran. Even though he was born in America Leo had full blooded Italian parents so he definitely has that Italian fire in him and he is not afraid to say what has to be said or do what has to be done. He considers himself a loner in a lot of ways given his background, but he can get a long with anyone who affords him the respect he feels he has earned. He can either be a great ally and a dedicated friend or a nightmare considering how you treat him, and more then not if his past has not made this clear, he is not afraid to get his hands dirty.


Disclaimer: Figured I would use the other spot seeming I would leave it vacant anyways to tell you that this character is what you might consider a bit in the mode of being powerful. However this is not my intention for him and I wanted to ensure you that just because he worked for the C.I.A does not mean he has magical knowledge of what caused the disease or even how it started. He is not a super hero nor do I intend to play him as one he is a normal man in a hellish world trying to survive. I only mention any of this because people get iffy about characters like this so I just wanted to put your mind at ease. I just like complex characters mind a lot more then physical. Anyways hope you enjoyed the read.

@Wade Wilson

You're right down the road from the apartment building where about five of the characters are.

@Neo Anderson Accepted. You don't need to list food/water under belongings though, as they aren't permanent.

[Neo Anderson]

@FortunesFaded

Thank you ^^. I listed them mostly for me so i could remember lol he has a good memory, me on the other hand not so much.

[Desire]

So never mind about the 4-5 zombies, it seems there is a bit more than I had originally anticipated! And hunter pushed Cole (bully). It seems like the chaos has begun.

[FortunesFaded]

So this is a new thing, mainly because the recent event IC reminded me of it, but generally (in the future, that is) try to keep the number of zombies you introduce in a scene to five or less. Just for the sake of realism, when it comes time to killing all of them.

[Shoe Thief]

@FortunesFaded
Alright, I just wanted a reason for Hunter to be stuck in a situation of fear basically unarmed to his first thought.

[FortunesFaded]

@Remipa Awesome You're fine! You had a valid reason for it. Just run it by Pirouette or I in the future, please! (You didn't break any rules, this is just something I forgot to say originally).

[Komo]

I'm still navigating through the IC posts..I should be able to get to the end of it soon. :|

@Wade Wilson I'll get on the post soon enough, sorry for the wait!

[Desire]

@FortunesFaded Yeah I was a little unsure about your zombie ruling. I mean, realistically, a number above four or five is substantial, considering conditions. (Unless you carry an assault rifle I suppose. Or a shotgun. Or some other assault weapon of that nature.) but anyways, I was debating on whether this was real life related or walking dead related. Because in walking dead they kill dozens of zombies like they're made out of paper, and only a huge swarm really dampers them, unless they sneak up on them. You know?

But thanks for the clarity!

At work but I'll have my next post up later today.

@Desire

Haha, yeah, that's a valid point. I'm trying to walk a fine line between realism and TWD here. Either extreme kinda kills the mood of a good zombie roleplay. Too unrealistic, and there is no cause for alarm amongst the characters (zombies no longer even become antagonists, just minor inconveniences). And too realistic, and all creativity is stifled. All the characters are sitting in a safehouse covered in bubble wrap.

[ChronoBovino]

I guess I'll make a post tonight
