Thank God for that innate horror movie logic. Expect me to play to that trope endlessly throughout this season.

Name: Emmerich Belle
Age: 33
Occupation: CIA Open Source Officer
Specialties:
Multilingual Fluency: English, Russian, Spanish, French, Arabic, American Sign Language
Interrogation & Interviewing
Computer Proficiency
Armed Combat
Unarmed Combat
Family Life: Married with children, biological family deceased prior to outbreak, separated from wife and children in accordance to CDC entry
Hair: Black
Eyes: Light Hazel
Weight: 190lbs
Blood Type: B-
Immune: Yes
Gear: CDC equipment, framed family photographs
Personality: Emery is driven, serious, and observant. Some might call him narcissistic, others mildly sociopathic, but in his own mind he's simply pragmatic. His relations with colleagues and family can be described as distant and forced by those that might look too closely, but to most he seems the ideal neighbor, coworker, and friend -even if he considers them a rather largely unnecessary nuisance. Many people have found him charmingly dynamic, but those that are truly perceptive or the few that have known him best can tell that he is an intensely shallow character. He has considered himself to have had very few friends in his lifetime, though many would confidently claim otherwise. Those that he does manage to connect with he values dearly. When he can be among a group of the handful of people in his life that he not only tolerates but fully appreciates as well, he is at his best. When he can talk freely and unwind from the massive charade that a vast majority of his life is, he is at his best. While he endorses the ideal "Think you before you act.", thinking too much is an issue he's become familiar with and in turn he's been known on occasion to act unpredictably simply to avoid deeper thought.
Background:
Emery's early life was somewhat abnormal. Born an only child to a well-off French Canadian and his Russian wife, he would receive a private education with a heavy focus on language and music. With a goal in mind to make their child a prodigy his parents funded his attendance in a preparatory school, where he learned Spanish to a proficient level. At home his parents took on the burden of teaching him French and Russian. Later, he was sent to a preparatory school (boarding school), where he truly discovered his passion for language and further developed it into an effective asset. Going on to double major in International Relations and Psychology, he found a solid transition after graduation as a commissioned officer in the Marine Corps. With four years of experience and a TS/SCI clearance under his belt a transfer over to a certain clandestine division within a three letter agency was a sure thing. Frequent and long deployments were nothing new, though after another few years excitement of it all began to fade. The six figure salary looked good on paper, but spending more time away from your oversized home than in it is a tad bit daunting in reality. He stepped down from operations and took on a desk job that offered him plenty of time to find himself again. He went on to pick up a Masters degree in International Affairs and a self taught near native fluency in MSA. He began to read three to four books a week, taking actual cooking lessons, learning to dance and play guitar, and even attending a few beekeeping workshops. In fact, it was the beekeeping he had to thank for meeting his brilliant wife and raising their two beautiful children. Had it not been for that chance encounter he may have never known the joys (and numerous challenges) of family life.
In short life leading up to the Rising was as close to flawless as a man could hope for, but receipt of a long term reassignment 3 months before things truly took a turn for the worse tore that bubble asunder. Mandatory separation from his wife and kids was the last thing he cared to think about, especially after being briefed on exactly why, but it was part of the job and he knew it. Assured that his family would be waiting for him upon release on Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri, he gave his tearful goodbyes and went off.

Tomorrow, I will have my CS up and hopefully we can work up a good series of posts this week.
I don't see that being a problem. I expect to be fairly busy as well.
I was thinking about creating someone new, but I think I'm going to stick with Emery again. He'll get another slight adjustment this time around.
Fuck yeah. This is absolutely necessary. I'm in. I'm relatively busy these days, but I'm gonna work on getting something up in the way of a sheet and carrying on from there.
That would help a lot. It's been some time since I revisited the ender universe. If you could offer up an example character, that may help a bit.
I'll be damned. Imagine my surprise to see that this is back up and about. Az, Will, I hope that all has been well or some varying degree of it. Gonna go ahead and hit the subscribe button. I'd love to see this get the commitment it truly deserves.
Oh! Huge OSC fan. I would love to see this go somewhere. I haven't had time to be active for quite a while, but I could see myself coming back for this.
I can get behind the skip to DADA. We can work in minor introductions on the way to class.
