[Eccentric Oddball]

Hey hey guys!
Here is the character template. You can add more information if you want but it's not a requirement.
Please keep it real and don't make an overpowered character without any fears, its not fair to the other players/writers and to be blunt: its not realistic.
Our characters also shouldn't be deranged serial killers, it's just too extreme for my taste... Well at least for this group hehe.
Other than that just have fun and enjoy playing your character!

[imXeno]

Name : Rei Raymond
Nickname : RayRay
Age : 19
Gender : Male
Sexuality : Heterosexual
Appearance : at least what he looked like before he got stuck in the apocalypse
Height : 6'0
Clothing Style : Always has had a generic style, joggers or jeans with a t-shirt and a hoodie has always been a go to but with a little flair due to his Air Jordan 1's, butttt is going to end up wearing heavy boots more than likely to survive.

Likes : Hugeee fan of sports, (baseball and soccer being his go to), hiking and climbing, socializing, spending time with the people he cares for most, music, and science.
Dislikes : Being lied too, being ordered around by anyone, being by himself, boredom, not knowing what is going on, and moving slow.
Fears : Has an extreme fear of death, just the thought of his own death leaves him at times pale in the face and terrified. Death and knowing death is around the corner at any moment petrifies Rei. Rei also has a lowkey case of claustrophobia but that's one that he barely recognizes at times.
Hopes : Establishing something good in society, finding a cure or being able to save lives, and hopes for something to be worth living for in this new world.

Personality
- Rei is an extremely extroverted person, he seems to find a way to try and socialize with every last individual around him. He seems to gel with every type of person.
- A huge joke cracker, likes to brighten up situations by cracking jokes and being witty, even at times where it isn't necessary or it is a bad time for it.
- Very smart for his age, especially in medicine and sciences related to medicine. Medicine is one of his long time interests.
- Highly insecure about his own fears and feelings, and is reluctant to talk about them even to the people he is closest with.
- Maintains a calm demeanor, he rarely panics or seems to crack under pressure, as cool as he can be.
- Quick thinker, likes to move fast and solve situations fast, fast-paced in everything he does.
- Although he tries to be as nice as possible, Rei can come off as disrespectful or a tad brutally honest at times.
- Gritty in the way that he never backs down and won't admit he's in pain, he'll fight to the very end.
- Very protective of the people around him, he would put his life on the line for them.

Strength : Rei, due to his medical knowledge and the studies he did underground, works like a medic and is really keen on understanding injuries and being able to treat them.
Weakness : Being as stubborn as he is, Rei hurt his right ankle pretty bad just days before they escaped, leaving him sometimes limping or not moving at full speed, sometimes getting so bad that he needs a break from even walking.
Enhancement : His brain function is greatly improved kind of like a super Aspergers Syndrome(minus the social issues), which explains partially his talent with medicine but also explains how he can seemingly never slow down at times, his brain is thinking and moving much faster than anyone else.
Side Effect : Extreme Paranoia and Anxiety (so over time Rei's calm demeanor is broken by his extreme fear and worry that could drive him mad.)

Weapon of Choice : G17 Pistol and a Baseball Bat.
Five Starting Objects : G17 Pistol w/ammo (in which he stole from a security guard's office underground), First Aid Kit with crude surgical supplies, some snacks, bottled water, and a good ole bottle of tequila for when times get rough.
Quote : " My job is to keep you alive. Make it as hard as you'd like. "

WIP

name: Sibil Wagner
nickname: Most people just call her Sibil
age: 21
gender: Female
sexuality: Bisexual
appearance:

distinguishing features: She has a tattoo of a wing on the right side of her neck.
height: 5'7
clothing style: Sibil wears darker colors like black, brown, gray, etc... Her style is more casual then trendy and made for easy movement.

likes: Lemons, training, alcohol, coffee, chocolate
dislikes: Chili, beans, zombies, whiny people, crowds
fears: Big spiders, needles, infection by the zombie virus.
hopes: To be able to live on the surface, being free and finding some coffee to drink.
personality:
On guard - On first impression Sibil is a rather guarded individual with little care for others. In the life she had so far she learned that sometimes you just have to put yourself first and build up walls in order to protect yourself.

Protective - Those that she calls friends get to see the traits she usually hides from strangers, like that she cares about people's lives and wants to protect them. Anyone that hurts her friends is in some serious trouble because she wont let anyone mess with those close to her.

Stubborn - Sibil is incredibly stubborn, following orders is just not in her blood as she would say. It's like she intentionally doesn't hear an order if its not something she would have done of her own accord anyway.

Surprizing - when you know how she will react or what she might do it's very possible that she could surprise you by doing or saying something you might not expect.

strength: Combat (she isn't a professional but well on her way to become one someday)
weakness: Doesn't follow orders
enhancement: Her sight is enhanced to a level where she can see in the dark and further than most people. Because of that daylight is somewhat sensitive on her eyes and can cause her to get headaches.
side effect: Her left hand starts to shake from time to time and she gets headaches on sunny-bright days.
weapon of choice: Two 'claw/neck' knives
five starting objects: Bottle of water, fruit bars, a flask of whiskey, pain pills and sunglasses.
Quote:
'Im not your bodyguard'
'Is there really no coffee, anywhere?'

 

[BB Hawken]

Name:
Dae-Hyun Moon

Nickname:
Hyun

Age:
20

Gender:
Female

Sexuality:
Pansexual

Appearance:

Distinguishing features:
His body is heavily covered in many tattoo's

Height:
5'6

Clothing style:
Dae-Hyun's clothing style is very simple it usually consists of a white shirt and some easy to move in pants.

Likes:
Black Tea, Tattoos, Parkour, The Wind, Smoking, Music.

Dislikes:
Zombies, Being indoor's, Being told not to do something.

Fears:
Being trapped, Deep pools of water, Running out of tobacco.

Hopes:
To find more tobacco, To discover if anyone is still living on the surface, To survive this apocalypse.

Personality:
Dae-Hyun has a reckless and carefree personality which often gets him into trouble. He is unable to see the consequences of his actions and believes himself to be invincible, believing that he is simply unable to die unless he decides to. This reckless approach and act now think later attitude has gotten Dae-Hyun into trouble multiple times. He is friendly in a strange way, one minute he can be nice then the next he will be cheerfully insulting people, most take offence to it but those close to him know he just likes trying to push other peoples buttons and he fully expects others to respond in kind.

He has a good wit and is rather funny and sarcastic, however, he often uses his humour to puncture the egos of those who have an over-inflated opinion of themselves, usually leading to him getting in trouble. Just by being himself, Dae-Hyun has gotten into several fights without properly understanding why and or how he managed to piss of 8 people, or how flirting with that one girl led to him being punched in the chest, in fact, several situations have arisen in which he has no clue what happened and how it got to this point.

He is also at times rather forgetful and scatterbrained, losing his possessions and just hoping they turn up, however, his personality and inability to back away, and his belief in his own strength often leave Dae-Hyun in situations that could easily be avoided. Despite this, Dae-Hyun is almost always smiling, when asked about why he smiles so much he usually only responds with, "Takes very little energy to smile, takes a lot more to be sad." Dae-Hyun is also a rather shameless flirt, and his reckless personality has made him flirt with several people whom have returned his affections with violence. while he is well-liked his reckless almost idiotic personality has baffled many of his friends and made them wonder if Dae-Hyun is entirely sane. Dae-Hyun polarizes people, you either like him or not, there is very little in-between.

Strength:
Mobility. Dae-Hyun was constantly on the move in the underground and found that the quickest ways to get around were to take the routes most people didn't think of such as climbing on the various pipes and walls and using them as walkways. He's what one would call a traceur.

Weakness:
He's a rather myopic person never thinking about the bigger picture only the picture he can see. He also cannot swim.

Enhancement:
He has a muscular endurance enhancement which means his muscles can handle a lot higher stress than others. This allows him to use his muscles for a much longer time than most people without cramping up or getting a stitch.

Side effect:
His depth perception gets knocked off from time to time.

Weapon of choice:
Crowbar

Five starting objects:
10 grams of tobacco w/ papers, Seiko skx007k1 watch, Backpack, Battle of water, Fireaxe.

Quote:
"Can we get back out there already? I'm going crazy stuck in here."

"God I need a smoke."​

[Eshspoyeofdoom]

***

Likes: Herbs, Cooking, Plans
Dislikes: Disorganisation, Inaccuracies, Raisins
Fears: Chaos, Total darkness, The Unknown
Hopes: For things to return to normality. A quiet life.

personality:

- Anxious: Eleanor's most defining trait. Her fear of the future, the unknown and the possibility of failure scare her tremendously. Though not outwardly obvious, the thought of what she can't prepare for can hang over her and cause stress. This may lead her to be overly agitated, withdrawn and uncooperative.

- Arrogant: Eleanor likes things to be done her way and her way only. She relies heavily on preparation done by her and hates deviations and improvisation. This often leads her to assume a commanding position regardless of whether she's actually fit for the task at hand.

- Systematic: Eleanor abides by a fixed, logical way of thinking. Things must be done methodically to achieve the best results. This 'no-nonsense' attitude makes her infamous amongst peer groups and often gets her labeled as stuck up or harsh.

- Determined: Once a plan is set, it's Eleanor's duty to see it through no matter the cost. She will use whatever resources is at hand to reach the objective, both material and immaterial.

- Emotionally intelligent and communicative: Despite her initial appearances, Eleanor has displayed evidence of high emotional intelligence and shows great communication skills when she needs to speak. She can easily identify the mood and atmosphere, and her concise and articulate patterns of speech can convince and motivate people.

***

strength: Stealth. Natural ability to move through forestry and tight spaces in near silences

weakness: Physically weak. Unable to deal effective damage unless assisted with a weapon.

enhancement: Enhanced scent. Eleanor has a scent comparable to that of canines. She can smell scents from large distances away given the right conditions (such as vapor from storms or rot from the undead) and is able to discern herbs and berries from the general shrubbery. This can give her both partial foresight and improved foraging skills.

side effects: Dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. Her nose may begin to bleed and lose consciousness.

weapon of choice: Machete.

five starting objects: Backpack, Plant/Herb book, Canteen, Bayonet, Rope

***

Quote: "A goal without a plan is just a wish."

[iWriteAboutNothing]

name: Nicholas Meyer
nickname: Nick
age: 19
gender: Male
sexuality: Bisexual

distinguishing features: kinda messy, crescent-shaped birthmark on the back of his neck
height: 5'4
clothing style: jeans, white shirt, zip-up hoodie, black sneakers

Likes: Cooking, animals, music, reading, drawing
dislikes: crowds, smoking, comics, zombies,
fears: cats, spiders, being trapped, maggots, zombies
hopes: To survive in the outside world and meet new people
personality: Shy, Loyal, Childish, Creative, Curious,

strength: Nick can make a meal out of anything, and he's a good hunter/scavenger
weakness: very bad at fighting, it's too much for him to process sometimes
enhancement: Nick has both a keen sense of smell and enhanced hearing. His scent tracking skills are on par with an average dog and his hearing allows him to hear from distances up to a full six miles away. Meaning that while in a building, Nick can hear everything going on within two stories and even a bit outside, his over-developed ears also give him a very good sense of balance
side effect: For some inexplicable reason, Nick finds it impossible to aim with any type of firearm. His brain just isn't capable of that kind of complex hand-eye coordination. It can sometimes be noticeable when he's trying to point at specific objects. He can't point quite straight.
weapon of choice: A dagger. He uses it mostly to kill what he can hunt, but it can be used for self-defense if the need arises
five starting objects: canteen, pot, backpack, a box filled with fish hooks, 5 ft of thin rope
