I'll post my CS momentarily. Spoiler alert: I'm the oldest one as of now.

Oh, God! Is this really the last known picture of me on social media?! And it's from...*gasp* MYSPACE?!

- Name – Shane

- Age – Early 30’s

- Appearance – I stand at around 6’1” tall. I’m slightly overweight, but healthy-looking. I have brown hair, but I've pretty much given up on keeping it, so it’s cut pretty short, but balding in the back. I tend to wear hats, such as the ratty, old Penn State hat I’m wearing in the picture. At the time of the outbreak, I was wearing a blue Captain America t-shirt, blue jeans, and a black, light jacket. My shoes are a pair of old, grey Sketchers.

- Physicality – I grew up in a world of pain, and that’s only a slight hyperbole. Overall, I’m healthy, but I have severe hemophilia and I had my right leg amputated earlier this year (the day after my birthday, incidentally). Running is a physical impossibility for me at the moment, but I’m a tough son of a gun and can more than hold my own in a fight. Much of my physical strength lies in my upper body; I’m a lot stronger than I look.

- Personality – I’m a pretty quiet person, I prefer to listen than talk. However, I tend to open up pretty quickly. People think I’m pretty funny, and since my amputation, I’ve been called ‘inspirational’, which honestly bugs me. I’m more of a ‘do-er’ than a thinker, and I have a stubborn streak, often sticking to my decisions, no matter how stupid they might be. I’ve learned not to take things too seriously, but there are times when people have to ask whether I’m actually being serious… I’m more of a follower than a leader, but if a leadership void needs to be filled, I’m usually the one to do it.

- Lifestyle – I live in Pennsylvania, United States, near the state’s capitol. I grew up hating school, but loving to learn. (Rather not get into the hows and whys right now). I wanted to be in the military for as long as I could remember, since my dad was a Navy man, but couldn’t because of my hemophilia. After school, I attended college and worked about a dozen jobs, and after graduating, started working in an office. Not my dream job, but it pays the bills.

- Why you're here? – I came (by myself) to Chicago to obtain an experimental myoelectric leg prosthesis. I want to be on the cutting edge. I ended up ducking into the bar to get away from the outbreak.

- Skills – I have a fair amount of medical/first aid knowledge, from tending my numerous injuries throughout the years. I’m also half decent with computers and electronics. I’m also a pretty good shot with a rifle (I grew up in bum-f**k nowhere, what else was I going to do for fun?) I've also read Max Brook's Zombie Survival Guide, cover-to-cover a number of times, but I don't know if that counts.

- Possessions – Aside from the usual cell phone and wallet, since I was planning a day trip, I also have a large, over-the-shoulder bag for carrying my old prosthetic leg, which contains my hemophilia ‘travel kit’, 1 full dose of Factor VIII (injectable), 2 or three syringes, butterfly needles, gauze, tape, alcohol wipes (as well as a sprayer for my prosthesis), tourniquet, and 2 small ice packs.

Sorry to hear about your leg, man. stay strong.

@fij707

No worries. It was something I chose.

[Desire]

@fij707Slaughtered? Hey I'm mature enough to not die in the first 5 seconds of an apocalypse! I'd at least get 7...

[Dirty Dan]

Oh man, smart sciency people. I'm outta my element there, haha. I'm probably just gonna enlist into the Army after college. Good thing though;; I'm getting my Library Science Degree in college, so that'll be fun.

Anyways, I like the cast so far, yo.

[Desire]

@Dirty Dan Hey, I'm a jock and a nerd, at least you belong somewhere xD What sports player have you heard of play DnD and sing in choir? I'm hopelessly in the middle of everything

[tigerchuffs]

I'm most definitely interested in joining! I hope this is enough!

- Name: Rose H. (First name undisclosed, I prefer middle for privacy!)

- Age: Twenty-three. (July 5th)

- Appearance: Picture!
Alright. The basics. I'm 5'4" and I weigh 118 lbs on a good day. It's easy for me to loose weight with stress. Chin length hair, puppy-cut at the back and dyed a handful of blended browns more or less pulled up into a tiny ponytail. Fair skin, freckles. Four tattoos, the birthdate and passing of my Nana (Grandma) is the only visible tattoo. The rest are easily covered. I stick to layers. Loose sweaters, leggings, jeans are clothing choices I frequent. I love dressing warmly.

- Physicality: Excellent cardio health, strength more or less is in legs, rather than arms and grip. I have an excellent sense of balance and am able to dodge and weave in busy crowds without touching. I lose steam in a fight quickly but am fast to flee. Wrestling a zombie off? Unless they're paper-light, I'm no good. I don't notice broken bones as much as I do wounds. To give perspective, when I was three, I broke an arm and knew something was wrong but it didn't hurt. The same with splitting the back of my ear open at nine. I didn't notice it until my brother pointed it out. Big wounds don't hurt as much as papercuts. The tinier the injury, the more I notice it. I bruise easily and darkly, they take a long time to go away, too. I have a few tattoos on top of all of this. I would have to say my pain tollerance is higher than most.

- Personality: If it's an easy start, I'm an introvert. I have expendable energy, meaning that it can and will run out interacting with others. I form close bonds and work well one on one. In large groups, I become overwhelmed and begin to observe elsewhere rather than contributing. I can be excitable, loud and at a flip of coin, condescending the next. I am a solver. I am mousy and observant. I don't like to dwell in situations long without trying to figure a route through or out. I'm easily frustrated by people who don't want to work our way to a mutual goal. I would like to say that I am a loyal creature. If you earn my trust, I've got your corner and I won't doubt you or look back.

- Lifestyle: Born in America, Michigan to be precise. Somewhere close to Detroit. I've moved over fourteen times, so I don't think I've been able to call some place home. I was a trouble child, loud, attention-hungry (read: neglected) and often grounded to my room. Everything was quite dismal when I was growing up. I missed out on a lot of social key-points as I was aging, but I've made it through and I'm still eagerly learning.

In school, I did well until depression began to interfere with my life (when I actually acknowledged how sad I was). I tried to emulate whoever I latched onto. My math skills have never been excellent beyond basic. I excelled in art, history and English classes. Everywhere from Elementary to High School I struggled to make friends. Even then, when I was lucky enough to make them, not all friendships lasted.

Since my departure from high school I conquered depression. With a few more lessons tucked underneath my belt I managed to bloom and become exactly who I've been hoping to be. I'm happy to say I have gathered friends over time through role play clients and in real life. Nowadays, I've noticed that I am a slow mover. I climb mountains rather than taking the easy route but I always find the solution. I'm extremely detail oriented and want to absorb everything given. I want to live life more fully, surround myself with friends...

- Why you're here? Once I heard about the outbreak, I quit my job, grabbed what I could and booked it downstate. I drove by my mom's work which was up in flames, and thought of nothing better than to head southbound to Florida to see if I could reach my brother in time. Last time I'd called, he was alive. We've been texting simply, holing himself up with my dad and his two cats, Elvis and Molly. I made a pit-stop when a tire went flat. The noise was loud enough to gather attention. All I could do was grab purse, my backpack and run away. With enough artful dodging and quiet scaling, I made my way to the bar through a back window. My ultimate plan is still Florida unless my brother doesn't make it.

- Skills: Art skills. Excellent ability to retain what's instructed. I'm computer literate, know a touch of French and German (text only), I'm able to cook and clean. If it's considered a skill, I'm great at I'm great at furthering ideas and strategy. I know a lot of facts, most of them are useless and rediscovered when the conversation connects. I know how to make what I have last...

A disadvantage is that I am dyslexic. Especially so with numbers. Now and again with words.

- Possessions: To start things off. I'm a woman. I have a lot of things I like to carry with me, tasty things, useful things... My purse, which is actually a small messenger. It has all the basics. My glasses in an orange hard-case, phone with charger and a portable battery charger, a lighter, chapstick, gum, one trail mix bar, tissues, sanitizer, a three-inch switch, my wallet (drivers license (which one could, possibly discover my first name that way...), two credit cards, one debit), keys, a scarf tied around the strap and gloves tucked in a side pouch (two pounds heavy). I also have a backpack with army-rolled clothing, makeup, a second pair of shoes tightly tied to the sides (seven pounds heavy) contact solution and three months of my lenses prescription left.

@Dirty Dan Hey, I'm a jock and a nerd, at least you belong somewhere xD What sports player have you heard of play DnD and sing in choir? I'm hopelessly in the middle of everything

@Desire

Sadly we don't have a choir in my school, but that's a good thing. I sound like an old black jazz player lmao, and that's not a good thing.
But yeee give me a football or a bat instead of a chemistry book anytime of the day. Or give me a cool RP site. Or the Harry Potter series. Or Skyrim. That game's badass.

[Temporary]

@Dirty Dan Skyrim truly is a great game.

[Desire]

@Dirty Dan@Vocab Alright we will base the religion of this RP off of Skyrim, it is official.

[Dirty Dan]

Sounds good, lol. I also tend to quote Fallout a lot, even in bad situations, but hopefully that doesn't happen in this RP.

My friend's pet hamster died and when he told me, I told him 'War. War never changes'. Thankfully he didn't get the reference, but my other friend screamed at me later for joking about that. It was pretty funny to me, though.

[Temporary]

let's do it. America can believe solely in Talos, but a group of "true Americans" are trying to dismantle it from the inside out.
