@BubblegumQueen My girl doesn't need a bed, she can sleep anywhere, so she's good on that front and what better leader for a group than a 16 year old? Sarah's perfect for it! XD
Looking forward to getting this started, anyone want to set up an already established relationship between mine and theirs? Just so there's less need for introductions from everyone.
Sarah is a friendly person and is always willing to give even the roughest looking character a chance and make friends with them. She’s not afraid to speak her mind or get into arguments with other people, even those she just met, but her pride isn’t so big that she won’t be the first to apologize if she’s in the wrong. One thing she can’t stand is guns, she knows how to use pistols, but she tries to avoid using a gun as much as possible. Even with the current state of the world, Sarah always tries to be as selfless as possible and help others, even if it puts her in danger or the same kindness wouldn’t be returned.
Biography
Though Sarah was still fairly young when nuclear war broke out, she still remembered how things were before everything went to hell. For the first six years of her life, she grew up in New York City and although it was crowded a lot of the time, she was happy. Her parents were both well respected doctors, her father even being Chief of Medicine, this allowed them to afford the best life possible for her.
The happy times didn’t last long however when the first set of nukes dropped, many people had been killed by the blasts and thousands of others injured from debris and other effects of the bombs. Sarah had been at school when they hit, luckily she hadn’t been seriously injured and her mother had already been on her way by the time the chaos broke out.
Because of their oath as doctors to help others, they stayed rather than evacuating right away, but eventually with supplies running low, utilities failing and the safety of their daughter taking top priority, they were forced to abandoned the sick and injured still there. For the next six years they lived underground in the sewers, doing whatever they could to survive, all for the sake of Sarah, however one day whilst out scavenging for supplies, they came across a man that appeared to have been caught under some rubble. However it had been a trap set up by some bandits to rob them, they had willingly given up what they already had, but when they tried taking Sarah, her father fought back, holding them off long enough for her and her mother to escape.
The last thing that Sarah saw as they fled was her father being shot to death and falling to the ground, something that stuck with her to this day as well as the day when everything went to hell. That was four years ago, since then she’s learned more about medicine thanks to her mother being as equally skilled of a doctor as her father was and tries to follow the same principles regarding life as her parents did, though with everything piling on day by day, it’s hard not for her to think saving others is sometimes pointless.
Medical Experience – Though she doesn’t have the full experience of a doctor, thanks to her mother teaching her, she understands the human body and can suture wounds, mend bones and treat some infections. Anything that involves cutting into a person she lacks the experience and confidence to do so.
Fire Arm Knowledge – She knows how to fire, disassemble, clean and reassemble most pistols, that’s about the extent of her weapon knowledge when it comes to guns.
Driving – What cars that were still working and filled with petrol she used and taught herself how to drive.
Weaknesses
Hot Tempered - Since she's not afraid to speak her mind, she can easily be riled up should she get into a disagreement or an argument, distracting her from the current task at hand as well as throwing away logic for the moment.
Astraphobia - Thunderstorms and lightning are like her kryptonite, whenever they happen, she can freeze up entirely, going from her confident, outspoken self to acting like a scared child, curling up into a ball and covering her head. She can just manage her phobia when indoors, though it's still a struggle, but if she's outside when storms and lightning are occurring, it's impossible to get her to do anything, let alone move.
Other
Sometimes called “Red” because of her hair or “Pepper” because of her fiery personality.
@BubblegumQueen Hmm, just checked out your character, like her a lot and yeah, with them both having medical knowledge, think they'll get along real well.
@BubblegumQueen Alright, here she is, I left the relationship blank for the moment so that way if other people want to have an established relationship with her, I can add that in and then move her over, if she's accepted of course, hehe. Also I tried to make her not too knowledgeable with her skills, but if it seems like too much for her age, I can adjust it appropriately.
