DEAD ISLAND 💀🌴

Eliza woke with a groan, not because of a hangover or the memory of doing something stupid, just a groan bemoaning the fact she was awake. Sure the Army did things, like expect you to wake up and work at some god-awful hour, but that didn’t mean she enjoyed it. Realizing she wasn’t going to go back to sleep, there was too much noise outside, though her sleep stunned brain couldn’t quite process it.

Instead, she grabbed her phone and put on some music to help her wake up. Trading the light top she’d slept in for a t-shirt and some shorts, she yawned and shuffled towards the bathroom. Scratching a post-sleep itch, she mentally grimaced. Get’n a bit soft there… She shook her head, those were thoughts for after the vacation. She was just stepping though the bathroom door, when a loud ‘thump’ against the outer room door made her jump. Some ass either still drunk, or fuck by a hangover from that shitty-assed con- Her thought ending abruptly as the ‘thump’ came again.

Now annoyed, she killed her music. ”Hey, fuck off and ruin someone else’s morning!” She snapped. As she glared at the door, she began to register the sounds she’d heard earlier. She still couldn’t process why there was screaming and shouting, but it made her blood run cold. Moving back towards her bed, she wrapped a hand around the lamp that was on the bedside table and yanked the cord free from the wall; all the while the ‘thumping’ against her door continued. With her other hand she tried to call the Front Desk with the room phone, only to find dead air when she lifted the receiver. ”SHIT!”

Eyes fixed on the door she backed towards the balcony, pushing the sliding glass door open with her free hand; suddenly a cacophony of screams, moans and shouting erupted as she stepped outside. Keeping her peripheral vision on her room door she looked about. All she could really tell was that the resort seemed to have devolved into pure chaos. The sound at her door seemed to pick up. Fuck…okay third floor, just high enough to fuck myself up…

Not wanting to risk whoever was outside her door, Eliza dropped the lamp and headed to the railing, opting to lower herself to the second floor and hopefully exit via that room to get security, or failing that, keep going to the ground.

Personality Description

Blunt but not unkind, years of military service has left her with little use for talking around issues; when you’re on the clock (and especially on deployment), it’s better to deal with whatever it is head on so everyone can get back to the task at hand.

This has lead more than one person to assume she’s more of an asshole than she really is, but she see that as more their problem than hers. At her core she wants to help others, both because that was how she was raised, and what she feels the military expects out of all of it’s members.

Bio

Growing up in a gear-head family, Eliza joined the Army just out of high school figuring it would be an cheaper way to get some heavy mechanic training that she could turn into a job in the ‘real world’. It turned out she quite liked the Army and much to even her own surprise, she instead decided to go career. Since then, she’s deployed twice to Afghanistan, once to Africa and once to Eastern Europe.

During all of that she, thought, she’d managed to build a nice little life for herself, find someone she could see herself settling down with, and once she’d retires going and getting back into auto racing with her family, but that was all long term thinking; in the short term, she had some leave banked and had booked a few weeks in Banoi with her partner for a nice relaxing tropical vacation…only to discover her partner had been cheating on her for the past few years.

Needless to say that relationship came to a screaming halt, but the vacation was still booked and leave still approved, so she got a refund on the second plane ticket and decided to go anyways…which may not have been the best idea after all.

Skills

• Mechanic - She grew up wrenching on cars, go-karts and bikes before joining the Army and getting taught to wrench on transport trucks and armoured vehicles.

After The End

Okay, after this much radio silence I think I'm out...

Warhammer 40k: Enigmas of the Warp

Are you still accepting?

DEAD ISLAND 💀🌴 (Reboot) (4-8 Players)

@Delphio Okay. The closest thing they'd have would be whatever 'combat' training they got during Basic.

DEAD ISLAND 💀🌴 (Reboot) (4-8 Players)

@Delphio Anything that isn't a main combat oriented job. Artillerist, Vehicle driver, mechanic, communications tech, cook etc; roles like that.

DEAD ISLAND 💀🌴 (Reboot) (4-8 Players)

I'll give this a shot if it's still on.

(Question) Could a PC be active military if they were something other than Infantry/SpecOps etc?
