29 September 2014. An asteroid hit the surface of the Earth and released a deadly virus named Goldilocks. It started small but by 1 December 2015 less than 0.001% (700 000) of the human population is left. You are one of the likely few. For convenience sake we'll all be located in the same city.
Goldilocks causes the decomposition of the body while it remains alive and functioning until death by oxygen starvation. It is named Goldilocks as a way of being funny because all those that are affected rot and turn blue from asphyxiation.

CS: Thomas
Nickname: Burnie, Beir (pronounced bear with a rolling r), after my surname (which I like to translate to English as Bearheart)
Age: 23
Gender: male
Description:
Belgian apprentice plumber with a bachelor degree as middle-school teacher in history and Dutch. He has over the years made some drastic career changes from a soldier in the Belgian army to teacher to plumber. He speaks Dutch (his native language) and English fluently and knows his way around in French and German.
Personality: Thomas is mostly calm and friendly, with high amount of teddy-bear-cuteness (though he resents people saying that, apparently making him even more cute...) Because of that cuteness and his openness, people often go talk to him and tell him about their problems. Thomas has however great difficulty opening a conversation, especially with people he isn't quite acquainted to, unless he has a real subject of conversation - which is why he tells of himself he's socially awkward.
He lives according to a few principles he has gathered over the years, mostly trying to be (viewed as) a wise and trustworthy person, yet sometimes does things people might find strange or awkward, mostly out of boredom. He doesn't quite like loudmouths and in return, doesn't try to be the center of attention. When he is bothered by them, he grows silent and brooding, actively ignoring the people who annoy him, even when they're talking to him at close distance. He also hates it when people call him smart because he's not quite as smart as he would want to, or when they try to add him in any type of "elitist" group.
Appearance: 190 cm (approximately 6 ft 2"), 82 kg (180 pounds), blond, blue eyes, between slender and athletically built. (I'll add a picture soon)
Physical capacity: Rather strong, being able to lift and handle heavy objects (ranging to about 70 to 100 kg, depending on the form of the object and what needs to be done with it), good runner, especially at short distance. Capable of jumping rather high and reaching high objects.
Backstory: Thomas was the first of three sons to a young middle-class couple. His mother worked for the Flemish government, his father in a nuclear power-plant. When he was four, his youngest brother was born with a severe mental and physical handicap, which will have quite an effect on the man's life.
He studied Latin during four years in middle school and economics in his high-school years. He succeeded those studies with a narrow margin, mostly due to his disinterest in school life. After that, he joined the royal military academy trying to become an officer. After two years (at the age of twenty), he quit the army at the rank of sergeant, because he was greatly annoyed by the linguistical policy. After that he applied for a bachelor degree which he succeeded cum laude, despite encountering some major difficulties. However, as a twenty-three year old he didn't feel qualified to teach children and wanted to wait a few years, doing some more physical labor in the meantime, which has led him to follow the noble path of plumber.
Weapon of choice: knives, heavy blunt objects or (if any available) an assault rifle
Fears and weaknesses: mild fear of (or resentment towards) invertebrate animals, especially the "squishy" ones like jellyfish and slugs. Also a mild fear of chit-chatting to unknown women (call it social awkwardness). Can get depressed when lonely (much like a beagle). His worst physical weakness is a tinitus (eternal high-pinched sound) in his left ear, causing him to have a hearing loss and the possibility to go stark-raving mad (should the story ask for it). As a mental weakness he has sometimes the tendency to overexert his body, leaving him in poor condition afterwards. This has led him to some injuries in the past (including a back injury which he seems to have recovered from but for story-sake might pop-up again).
Interests: physiology, languages (at the moment Latin and Swedish), history (especially about the Roman Empire), philosophy and animals in general
Other: hobbies have been martial arts (Tai-jutsu and Krav-maga), weight-lifting, badminton, soccer, reading pretty much any syllable that catches my eye and since recently writing (amateurish) poetry.

Backstory: Ah jeez... Grew up without a father because hes on the run from the FBI in Brasil, My mother is insane and thinks shes the greatest, smartest, person in the world. Except we found out when I was very young that I was far smarter than she was. This caused alot of conflict between us, especially because I didnt feel like living up to my "potential". She remarried twic, second husband was abusive and scarred me in verious ways for ten years while they were married, she divorced him and married this other guy whos really nice, but he deserves better, because shes off her damn rocker.

Name: Jean
Nickname: Bird/Birdie
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Description: A teenage, home-schooled, high-school student. Jean is a student pilot who, before the apocalypse, was also involved in search and rescue missions.
Personality: Called Birdie for her love of heights, Jean was born adventurous and independent. She is over-protective of the people around her, and does her best to make everyone happy. She has a strong mask of confidence, and avoids showing any kind of negative emotions in front of others, hiding behind a sarcastic sense of humor. She can be pigheaded at times, and her pride occasionally clouds her judgement. Although she normally avoids arguments, she is not afraid to stand up for what she believes is right. She is never afraid to tell someone when she thinks they are being stupid or unreasonable.
Appearance: Here .
And here She stands at about 5'6". She normally keeps her dark-blonde hair pulled back in a single braid to keep it out of her face. She always wears a small panda necklace as a sort of good luck charm.
Physical capacity: Jean broke her right ankle when she was around eleven, and to this day it still gives her trouble. She has a hard time running long distances, or jumping from any significant height. Despite those few limitations, she is fairly physically fit. She is an experienced student of martial arts, making her comfortable with close combat.
Backstory: (I kind of have crap I really don't want people to know. So since this is an RP, I'm gonna just give a few little details to help people better understand the character, but that's all.)
Jean was the only girl of five children, all of who were homeschooled. Although she was not the oldest, people always assumed she was because of her protective nature. Her father was addicted to prescription drugs, making her very distant emotionally as she tried to protect herself and her siblings from any of the effects of his prescription abuse.
Weapon of choice: Any short, strong weapon, such as a knife, baseball bat, or simply a stout metal pole. Cannot shoot a gun worth crap.
Fears and weaknesses: Jean is claustrophobic. Any small, dark, confined places get to her head and she starts to panic. Unfortunately, despite her martial arts training, she is a major klutz and prone to injury from stupid things, like walking into walls.
Interests: Aviation, martial arts, search and rescue, animals

Name: Matt
Nickname: Nazi (That’s my actual nickname, don’t ask me why, ‘cause I have no idea. Something about liking metal from Europe, or something.)
Age: 15 coming on to 16
Gender: Male
Description: A student who doesn’t really have much trouble at school. Born and raised in Argentina, is however quite fluent in English. He had heart surgery when he was young, but it doesn’t affect him in any way nowadays, and suffers from headaches in hot or constantly noisy places.
Personality: He is quite lazy, often doing his duties just before the deadline, as long as something else is there to distract him from them. He is also a bit shy, and doesn’t tend to talk much. However, when he does talk, it’s hard to shut him up. He likes to think he is thoughtful about other people, but most of the time he really just thinks for himself.
Appearance: He is around 1.70 meters tall, and weights around 60 kilograms. He has relatively fair skin, normal length black hair and blue eyes. He is slightly overweight, yet he has relatively muscular legs.
Physical capacity: He has some endurance, although he is by no means a runner. He can, however, sprint at more-or-less fast speeds for short distances. He used to practice Tae Kwon Do, now he practices fencing with sabre, and has been doing so for nearly three years. He doesn’t resist pain well, but has the willpower to tolerate it. He tends to get full quickly; however he is usually hungry a short time afterwards.
Backstory: He grew up in Argentina. When he was four years old, he had a heart surgery. After that, he was moved to a different kindergarten, which is important, because he continued to go to the same elementary school and high school. A few years later, his parents divorced. During most of his childhood, he was quite curious, and liked to learn a lot, which meant he was incredible at school. As time went on, he acquired other interests, and his performance at school began to decay slightly, but never reaching his school group’s (admittedly low) average. During most of his childhood and teenage years, he spent his time alone, mostly out of choice. He spent break time reading books, or imagining stories. Recently, however, he’s starting to like socializing a bit more and has a couple of friend groups.
Weapon of choice: A fencing sabre, which he sort-of-stole from the club where he used to practice, and later on sharpened.
Fears and weaknesses: Loss of loved ones (which he has certainly experienced), any sort of crawly thing, specially cockroaches and spiders, but not bees. He can get quite debilitating migraines if exposed to heat or constant loud noise, and he also isn’t very able to endure very cold temperatures without catching some nasty things.
Interests: He is interested in programing, although he doesn’t really know much about it. He likes power metal. He wouldn’t consider himself any sort of movie or series or anything buff, since there are hundreds of things he still has to see, but he is fond of quoting the few he knows.
Other: He tends to think, many times, like he is in a videogame, or a novel. This can be bad when he’s in the “fight, don’t flee” mindset of many games, however most of the times it manifests as attempts to be stealthy.
Your name being here is no guarantee a place. If you are inactive or breaking the rules I will kick you outIf you have interest any this rp is full, drop me your name and I will put you on the waiting list. Do not be daunted by what's here.
