Chuuya — Roleplayer Guild

The young woman once found rainstorms to be a relaxing backdrop. There would be days that she'd take a mug of tea onto the porch and watch lightning strike in the distance. She lived with her boyfriend at the time and life was a bit more normal then. Comparatively speaking anyway. The threat of raptors were replaced by looming deadlines and procrastination. Not that she could ever be truly bogged down by such a menial weakness. It was amusing to reminisce on it now though. Nostalgia was a funny thing to her. Almost as funny as the absurdity of a dinosaur apocalypse, but she digressed. They were easy enough to shoot in the leg when they were passive. Most were hesitant about turning on their former pets at first, but not her. And now she blamed those soft-hearted fools for what became of civilization. 

These musing and much more filled her mind as she positioned herself on the outskirts of a shoddy southern town. It looked like some craphole that she would have traveled through while heading to Miami or Orlando for Spring Break. She did that once or twice before things got too bad. Such luxuries had been cast aside long ago, however, along with hot showers, fresh food, and a good night of sleep. Things were limited and people were hard to come by now. It had been months since she had traveled with another human that could watch her back. An eccentric trio that had likely been trampled and devoured by a horde of hungry raptors were her last mark. Such a shame too as all of them were excellent shots. There were times when they had even come close to her level in the past. She went by Sarah Linville then. A cutesy name that fit a southern belle and the accent that she tried so hard to keep at the time. It didn't matter now though. They were long gone and probably to be never to be seen again.

A vehicle.

That was unusual to say the least. It kept you safe from the weather, sure, but its noise could draw any idiot towards it, whether they be human or raptor. It was like painting a target directly on your back and it was like having another hungry mouth to feed. Vehicles required supplies to run after all. They were helpful in theory, but a pain in the ass in concept. She had one herself back when it started though that, too, was long cast away. If she could siphon some gasoline off of it though. . Gasoline meant fire which equated to explosions and then to even more toys to play with. A devious smirk crossed her face as she found herself inching closer to the parked RV directly adjacent to one of the abandoned pumps. The odds of gas being left in any of them was unlikely, but worth a shot. And, besides, it wouldn't be hard for her to charm her way into another survivor's life anyway.

All she had to do was remain unseen for now.

"Raptors can be more intelligent than the average human."


Full Name: Jade Davis
Nickname(s): None.
Gender: Female

Age: 27
Birthday: July 23rd

Personality: Jade generally has a poor grasp on reality. What most would view as an apocalypse is nothing more than entertainment or a game to her. Hunting raptors, whom she finds as intelligent as ordinary humans, has become her favorite hobby. Mind games and logic puzzles amuse her to the point where she takes immense pride in every personal victory against one. She considers herself to be a tactical mastermind and manipulative genius though fails to deliver from time-to-time. Not that there is ever an option in her mind where she should concede defeat or settle for "second best". Jade strongly believes that she is entitled to only the best, including a position of authority and for others to accept her superiority, and plans to achieve this by any means necessary. This is why, perhaps, survival has become less for herself and more for her ego. At the very least, a severe lack of empathy for other survivors has made this much easier for her than it probably should be.

Skills:Foraging: Not as much of a skill as it is a book with pictures on what local flora is safe to eat.
Cooking: She's a decent cook and knows how to make meals out of nothing surprisingly well.
Tracking: She likes to believe that she is good at this, but in reality, it's difficult to miss raptors in the wild.
Scavenging: Jade is rather skilled with locating and "borrowing" others' belongings with no plans to return them.
Trapping: Her knowledge usually stretches as far as bear traps and pitfall traps. She's especially fond of the latter.
Sharpshooting: She has some knowledge regarding firearms and seems to know how to handle her rifle relatively well.
Miscellaneous: She has basic knowledge regarding first aid, camping, starting fires, and even climbing the occasional mountain.


Equipment:Hunting Knife: This is sheathed around her left leg. It's mostly used for skinning animals, chopping meat, and as a last resort weapon.
Shovel: This is for setting traps and occasionally used for self-defense. It can be found strapped to her back along with her machete.
Backpack: Carries non-perishables, night vision goggles, binoculars, a book on native wildlife, a water bottle, and rancid meat.
Machete: This is mostly used for threatening the occasional deranged survivor or cutting through flora. It barely sees combat.
Hunting Rifle: A Remington Model 700. It was a gift from Jade's father and it has since become an extension of herself.
Pouch: It's mostly for fashion, but it also carries ammunition for her rifle. It can be found on the right side of her waist.


Backstory: Jade was born as the eldest of two daughters and lived under a different name for most of her life. Generally speaking, her childhood was uneventful and was spent traveling across the American midwest. Her family never truly found a place to consider their "home". When Jade was a teenager, she eventually became interested in racing raptors for a while and would go on to win ribbons for her efforts. Losing came far and few between with the end result leading to her cycling through raptors. Inferior raptors would be let loose into the wild or shot while bearing the blame of her losses. Jade stopped racing at some during college to focus on her grades and a long term relationship with an unnamed boyfriend. She graduated from Emory University in 2076 with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and went on to be rejected from medical school. Any attempts to reapply were halted by the inevitable fall of human civilization in 2077. It wasn't long before a new food chain was established and Jade was quick to learn its rules.

Other:She prefers to fight from a distance and has been perfectly willing to sacrifice teammates in the past.
She has gone by a different name for almost every survivor group that she's ran with before.
She hates kids and finds them to be "especially useless in times like these".
