Character Summary
Name:
Siddharth Kumar
Aliases:
Sidd
Age:
Twenty-eight
Birthday:
May 27th
Ethnicity:
Indian
Birth Place:
Atlanta, Georgia
Location:
Atlanta, Georgia
Gender:
Male
Major/Minor:
Biology and Chemistry
Occupation:
Student/had an internship at a botanical garden
Languages:
English, Hindi
Appearance
Height:
6'1"
Weight:
140lbs
Build:
Lanky, with little muscle
Eyes:
Brown
Hair:
Brown hair that he let grow since the Apocalypse. Who has time for a haircut?
Skin Tone:
Medium. Easily tanned.
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:
No tattoos or piercings. However, he does have a scar on his elbow and arms that was gained during his childhood (and he refuses to say how - but ask Meg, and she'll gladly tell you.)
Psychology
Practical * Quiet * Bookworm * Soft-hearted
Sexuality:
Heterosexual
Relationship Status:
Single, but not ready to mingle
Personality:
Sidd is not the most optimistic person around. He believes more in facts and statistics than he does in fate and karma. Its his practical nature that helped keep him and Meghna alive until their fateful meeting with the Newnan gang. Sidd is also very soft hearted and quiet, preferring to keep out of tense situations and definitely stays away from having to get to know someone. It's not that he's too shy, it's just that he prefers to stick to his books and plants.
He doesn't mind giving a group his input, especially when it comes to the things he knows the most about (which is pretty much research and plants. Mainly plants, though), but will definitely keep trying to avoid having to speak up as a leader. However, if you come to Sidd, he will give you the honest truth and nothing else.
He's not brave, nor is he good with talking to others. But, his strengths lie in his analytical and kind nature. He can easily take a step back and think, usually with a clear mind, with the help of any other like-minded individual. He's also pretty creative when it comes to thinking of plans, but tends to discard them immediately because usually someone comes up with a better idea.

History
Your First Walker Encounter:
Sidd didn't even encounter his first walker until he and his twin were forced to flee their home, weeks after the initial breakout. Meg, by then, had been the only one between the two to know how to handle a walker and had refused to let her brother out in fear of losing him. Sidd barely knew what a walker looked like - just using the old terrible zombie films that used to play every week on telly as a guide.
The one thing he knew about zombies was that he had to aim for the brain and hope for the best.
However, with no protection from their lack of shelter, Sidd was forced to be able to handle walkers, even if he didn't know how. During their time in the shelter, Meg had attempted to give Sidd a crash course on using a weapon: more importantly, the pistol that she had used during her scavenges, however, it was painfully obvious that Sidd's aim was anything but adequate.
Back to Sidd's first encounter, he had the pleasure of meeting a walker for the first time during his escape from their home with Meghna. There was nothing they could do but try to outrun the thing by taking alleys and sharp turns, hoping to lose the walker before they got their guts spilled. But it never happened, no matter where they went, it went with them. Finally reaching a dead-end, Sidd and Meg had no choice but to kill the thing before it attacked.
It may have been Meg that shot the thing down, but Sidd would never forget the face that was chasing them.
The face of his old, kind neighbour.

History Before Outbreak:
Siddharth Kumar and his younger twin, Meghna, were raised in Atlanta their whole childhood. Enjoying a lax childhood with little limitations and big dreams, both children were given the opportunity to 'follow their dreams' as cheesy as it sounded. However, a few years later, Siddharth's and Meghna's mother died in a car accident, leaving the twins and their father in an untimely death. While the kids were still too young to realise what had happened, other than their mother was now gone to a better place, their father took her death the hardest, his easy-going personality changing with the influence of alcohol and extra work hours.
Siddharth always declined the opportunity to go hunting with his father and sister, instead finding solace and enjoyment with books - especially books that involved plants. His bookwormish traits resulted in him becoming a recluse: the classic nerd in school while his sister was the more outgoing one.
Over the next few years, he stood by and watched as his sister's and father's relationship declined, unable to do anything. Siddharth wasn't surprised as his sister left the house for university in a country far away from their father, only being able to wish his sister luck before she disappeared into the crowd within the airport.
Not too long later, their father was diagnosed with liver damage caused by the excess alcohol. Siddharth decided to stick to a local university to get a degree in biology and chemistry, remaining close enough to be able to help out his father during the last few months of his life. After graduating at the top of his class and gaining a scholarship for his master's degree to study, Sidd got an internship at a botanical garden, to help him further his career during his studies.
And then at the age of twenty five, Siddharth finally lost his father due to illness. He called his sister once more, hoping that Meghna would at least pick up. Surprisingly, Meghna returned to Atlanta to help Siddharth cope with the loss of their father, but it didn't last long as the apocalypse began.

History Since Outbreak:
For the first few months of the apocalypse, Sidd and Meghna barely left their home in Atlanta, Meghna being the one to scavenge due to her experience in hunting whenever they ran out of supplies. They were only forced out of their home when bandits tried breaking in, following behind Meghna one day during her scavenging.
The twins barely managed to escape with their lives, losing many supplies and their personal possessions even from before the apocalypse. They took the loss hard, Meghna moreso. She believed that she was the reason they lost their home and everything inside - only because she didn't cover up her own tracks after scavenging the nearby corner shop for water.
Closer to Newnan, the twins met Leann and her small team while looking for shelter. The twins joined the growing group, safety in numbers as they say. Sticking together for the next three years, the twins decided that it was one of their best decisions.
Now, Sidd helps maintaining the gardens and growing crops alongside any research possible to assist the others.

Psychology
Loud-mouth * Easy going * Independent* Insecure
Sexuality:
Demisexual
Relationship Status:
Single
Personality:
A complete opposite to her older twin, Meghna is a loud mouthed, no filter indivudual that enjoys the finer things in life. Such as living and food, lots of food. Her insecure nature stems from her father, even if she doesn't show it much to others. Her insecurity comes more from doubting herself and hesitation to actually put ideas forward - one thing she has common with her brother. She hates being compared to her brother, even as a joke. It rubs her the wrong way and she can be in a foul mood for the rest of the day (or even the week, depending on what exactly was said) until she has been apologised to.
Meghna is quite energetic and likes being active. She's never in one place for too long, always compared to a buzzing bee. Her active nature can annoy someone, especially if she keeps asking questions - but she doesn't really care too much. Similarly, Meghna prefers to do things herself, rather than asking for help. While she doesn't mind working with others while scavenging, as long as she can do the hunting her way, she won't be much of a problem. Meghna is not a lone-wolf.
Meg even tends to blurt out things without completely thinking things through. Most of the time, she barely thinks before speaking. And she doesn't really mind whether it causes someone to not like her, its just something she does. Whether you call it honesty, or stupidity, it doesn't matter to her.
One thing Meg loves to do is to teach children. Her dream would've been to become a school teacher, but then the apocalypse had to happen to ruin the career path she had painfully mapped out. Ah well, at least she can assign homework to the kids in camp, right?

History
Your First Walker Encounter:
On the day the apocalypse began, the radios were talking about nothing but ways to survive. Meghna and Sidd had planned a road trip, one to help keep his mind off of their father for the rest of the week, but the trip had been cut short immediately with news of the apocalypse spreading like wildfire.
First, Meg and Sidd stored everything they had in their pantry, including any weapons their father had collected through years of hunting and paranoia about self defence. The twins hadn't even encountered their first walker until two weeks after news had spread and radios died, when their supplies began running low.
It was Meg that had to face off a walker first. Armed with only a hunting knife and a pistol rummaged from her father's safe, Meg had gone on a run to find any store that hadn't been completely ransacked. While browsing through the isles of their local superstore, sounds of groans and banging had rung through the empty store.
At first, she contemplated whether to try and go Assassin style or just head-shot the mother fucker and run, but after seeing her first walker, Meg knew exactly what she needed to do. Hastily grabbing her pistol, she aimed at the walker's forehead and pulled the trigger, the walker falling immediately to the ground while the gunshot echoed.
Grabbing whatever supplies she could, Meghna took off and returned home, even giving her twin a hug as she tried to come to her senses.

History Before Outbreak:
Born twenty minutes after her older twin, Meghna Kumar and her brother were raised in Atlanta their whole childhood. Enjoying a lax childhood with little limitations and big dreams, both children were given the opportunity to 'follow their dreams' as cheesy as it sounded. However, a few years later, Meghna's and Sidd's mother died in a car accident, leaving the twins and their father in an untimely death. While the kids were still too young to realise what had happened, other than their mother was now gone to a better place, their father took her death the hardest, his easy-going personality changing with the influence of alcohol and extra work hours.
By the time the twins were ten, it was obvious which one was the smarter one of the two. Meg's academic achievements were never as great as Sidd, resulting in a few comments by their father every so often. As a result of this, Meg began resenting her brother, mainly because of her father.
Also, during some of her childhood, Meg was taken with her father to hunt every other summer, as her brother refused to join them and their father wished for company. This is where she began learning the basics of hunting and tracking game.
After studying hard, Meg graduated at one of the top in her class (of course, still below her brother) and escaped Atlanta by taking a scholarship at a university in London, trip paid by money she earned by babysitting the neighbourhood kids or even offering tutoring services.
For the next seven odd years, Meg refused to keep in contact with her father and eventually stopped talking to her brother. Too focused on graduating with a teaching degree in English, Meg's dream was to teach at a primary school in London, eventually settling down and living out the rest of her days.
However, that never quite happened. Instead, in the last year of her Master's programme, Meg was called by her brother. News of her father's death: liver damage. Immediately, Meg flew out back to Atlanta to be able to help her brother settle back down, but then the apocalypse began.

Now, Meg helps the Newnan gang by going out on supply runs whenever needed, especially if it involves hunting animals for meat. When not scavenging, however, she can be found teaching the children that survived. Just because you survived an apocalypse, it doesn't mean you can escape homework, now is it?

Sexuality: He's all about the ladies.

Personality:
He is BLACK MOTHERFUCKING MANDINGO JAMES, BITCHES. <ahem> Sorry... James is an open, good natured, black, pagan redneck. He's a trustworthy individual, adapted well to surviving on his own despite the risk he takes for himself, but really finds his best when he's with people.
James is a larger-than-life, bombastic individual. Always a smartassed remark on standby, but also an intelligent observation backing it up.

Your First Walker Encounter:
It was at a bonfire party, out in a field somewhere in south Georgia. There was a huge fire, helped along by diesel fuel and magnesium bits from an engine block. Big fire, people playing guitars, banjos, and the like, drunk as all Hell and making a lot of noise.
A clinic nearby was used as one of many secondary points to house patients, runoff from the county hospital. Some kind of epidemic. When "epidemic" turned into "mass of walking corpses hungering for the flesh of the living", they gravitated toward the bright and noisy speck in the distance - Redneck bonfire party.
When they shambled out there, most kept moving for the fire, but some decided to take a bite out of the living. It took James and all those Good Ol' Boys a while before they figured out that only a headshot would do, those that didn't run off.
History Before Outbreak:
James Grady is an intelligent and sturdy man whose pursuits kept him away from large cities, probably helping his chances for survival early on. He dropped out of school at 16 to pursue a career in the Hogging and Agriculture industries, but easily passed the tests to earn his G.E.D.
He lived and worked on a farm out near Leesburg, GA, occasionally taking jobs hunting nuisance hogs with a group of locals. His skill with a rifle and bow were of immense help to him in this endeavor, and he quickly became the best Hogger of his group, capable of handling even big jobs solo (though it is not recommended). He became the "go to" wild pig man in the region, often employing dogs and pit traps.
The next few years saw James traveling, taking jobs of this nature around the American South (mostly). racking up quite a reputation not only for his particularly useful skills as a modern-day Ranger, but for his colorful antics and unique attitude. Black James, as he prefers to be called, had achieved a sort of Folk Hero status across that part of the country, from Texas around to Virginia. Some guy out near Beaumont even wrote and recorded a song for him, called "The Ballad of Black James". Many Chuck Norris/Bill Brasky attributes were given to him as a result of this song, time and fertile imaginations fueling the Legend that is Black James.
History Since Outbreak:
Since the outbreak, James has taken more to a natural state of being, tracking and living off of groups of wild hogs in a nomadic sort of lifestyle. Not unlike our Native brethren of old, following the migration of the mighty Buffalo across the plains, Black James has accepted the more uncertain, meandering path of the less noble and somewhat meaner Hog.
This has brought him into conflict with more than a few people. Plus, the sounds of hogs grunting and rooting about tend to draw Walkers every now and again, making his lifestyle perilous. Regardless, he is still the best at what he does in this regard, and if anyone can keep it up it's him. His presence has actually kept entire sounders of swine from being scattered or eaten by the dead, and their numbers now flourish out in the world.
James drives a large, offroad truck with a passenger cab that can usually be seen pulling a formidable looking wood smoker. This last item he liberated from a smokehouse in north Georgia, as well as many tools and bits literature on the subject. Tucked away in his truck, he has an appropriated rifle of frightening power, his M107, taken from a scavenging run on a National Guard armory. It had been cleaned out previously, but miraculously, this piece of massive firepower was found waiting for him behind the information desk up front. He's used it twice, as the situation called for it. Both times, he realized in hindsight that it was still too much gun for the job. James calls it "Vera".
He is giving thought to settling in one area for a log while, rejoining what's left of society, as it were. Use his skills to prepare food, set up an agricultural base, or hunt for a group. He needs people, if only to make sure that his cheese doesn't completely slip off his cracker.

"You don't go runnin' at the hog. You make it come a'runnin' to you."
"Aw, Hell naw."
Theme Song: I'm not sold 100% on the song, but it'll do for now. Brace yourselves.
How Many Walkers Have You Killed: Lots. I was keepin' score for a while there, but after I blew up that gas station I just lost count.
How Many People Have You Killed: Three. Mostly I try to get outta there, but some muthafuckas get determined to step between me and where the bullet shoulda gone.
Why: I try to be a "Live And Let Live" man, but most everyone else ain't. Had to adapt.

History
Your First Walker Encounter:
It was at a bonfire party, out in a field somewhere in south Georgia. There was a huge fire, helped along by diesel fuel and magnesium bits from an engine block. Big fire, people playing guitars, banjos, and the like, drunk as all Hell and making a lot of noise.
A clinic nearby was used as one of many secondary points to house patients, runoff from the county hospital. Some kind of epidemic. When "epidemic" turned into "mass of walking corpses hungering for the flesh of the living", they gravitated toward the bright and noisy speck in the distance - Redneck bonfire party.
When they shambled out there, most kept moving for the fire, but some decided to take a bite out of the living. It took James and all those Good Ol' Boys a while before they figured out that only a headshot would do, those that didn't run off.
History Before Outbreak:
James Grady is an intelligent and sturdy man whose pursuits kept him away from large cities, probably helping his chances for survival early on. He dropped out of school at 16 to pursue a career in the Hogging and Agriculture industries, but easily passed the tests to earn his G.E.D.
He lived and worked on a farm out near Leesburg, GA, occasionally taking jobs hunting nuisance hogs with a group of locals. His skill with a rifle and bow were of immense help to him in this endeavor, and he quickly became the best Hogger of his group, capable of handling even big jobs solo (though it is not recommended). He became the "go to" wild pig man in the region, often employing dogs and pit traps.
The next few years saw James traveling, taking jobs of this nature around the American South (mostly). racking up quite a reputation not only for his particularly useful skills as a modern-day Ranger, but for his colorful antics and unique attitude. Black James, as he prefers to be called, had achieved a sort of Folk Hero status across that part of the country, from Texas around to Virginia. Some guy out near Beaumont even wrote and recorded a song for him, called "The Ballad of Black James". Many Chuck Norris/Bill Brasky attributes were given to him as a result of this song, time and fertile imaginations fueling the Legend that is Black James.
History Since Outbreak:
Since the outbreak, James has taken more to a natural state of being, tracking and living off of groups of wild hogs in a nomadic sort of lifestyle. Not unlike our Native brethren of old, following the migration of the mighty Buffalo across the plains, Black James has accepted the more uncertain, meandering path of the less noble and somewhat meaner Hog.
This has brought him into conflict with more than a few people. Plus, the sounds of hogs grunting and rooting about tend to draw Walkers every now and again, making his lifestyle perilous. Regardless, he is still the best at what he does in this regard, and if anyone can keep it up it's him. His presence has actually kept entire sounders of swine from being scattered or eaten by the dead, and their numbers now flourish out in the world.

Well, the group could use security, trainers, and characters that know how to survive/forage outside of walls. Or NPCs that can get bitten or fall into a mysterious sinkhole when viable CSs are submitted.
Either way, you know?
If I have to make another character, it'll have to be something patently useless in this setting. Former tax lawyer, maybe. Or flower arranger. Elderly bartender with roaring Tourette Syndrome. Yeah...

Sorry for the absence, we welcomed two new pets into our home this week and I've been swamped getting things set up.
Any who,
@Aewin Did you have any ideas on what positions you would like the twins to have? (They're approved, so you can move them over to the CS tab)
@Wade Wilson Looking forward to it man!
@Nallore Yup yup, hope to see a CS soon. ^^
@Sigil Oh God, Black James, love it, slip over to CS grab, I'll put him in charge of recruiting just because I wanna see what happens.

@Lady Amalthea Welcome back Lady! I wish I could get pets, too bad my mum is allergic to everything that is not human ;-;
I can see Meg going for supply runs and even hunting for the group, while Sidd can be in charge of the gardens (and maybe even help out with any research if he's wanted)

Ok, Black James (tm) has been edited into my last character post in the CS tab, and is now a part of the Newnan community. God help us all.

@Aewin I am as well but I have found hamsters aren't so bad as long as I give them huge habitats and the kids keep things clean. The boys have had one for nearly the last year and it's been good. Daughter wanted a pair of them for her, so that's what I've been doing. (I hand build most of the platforms and such, so it's been wood, saws and glue all week. ><!)
Sounds good, gonna see where the rest of the people fall in and then assign them.
And yes @Sigil, God help us all with James. (Tid bit about James - the character is actually based on a friend of Sigils and mine irl, the set up isn't much of an exaggeration of the real man, lmao!!!)

That sounds like a lot of trouble, but having a pet seems worth it. I know that as soon as I move out, I'm getting myself a dog or twenty
Gonna post the twins in separate char posts so once relationships come up it won't be much of a hassle for me to edit things
