Realistic or Modern The Dust: The Parasite's Outbreak CS Thread

[Peacemaker .45]

While I like to give everyone as much creative freedom as possible, the nature of the RP requires that the characters be extremely valuable in any way towards the mission at hand. As such, regular, everyday folk would not be tagging along with this group. * As such, characters have to fit sorts of niches. SpecOps soldiers, scientists, doctors, and engineers are some of the kinds of roles characters would have in ultimately aiding the mission. Currently, I will not be accepting any characters who were aligned with the rebels. The aformentioned list is not limited to the specialties of the group. If you have a character that would have a specific skillset that would aid in the mission's completion, I'll be happy to consider. As such, the template for character sheets is below!

If you want to work with me on crafting a character, be my guest! Shoot me a PM, I’m happy to help everyone!

While not required, tying in any character you submit with Aerolyn and/or the Civil War will really help make sense of why your character was assigned to this mission. It’s not necessary, and I won’t not accept anyone for not doing it. But it is a nice touch.

[Peacemaker .45]

Name: Aerolyn Woodbead

Height: 5’7

Age: 24

Biography (2-3 paragraph minimum. Be as detailed as you can without spoiling anything you dont wish to share in the CS):
Before the Civil War and the Parasite's outbreak, Aerolyn, born Aerolyn Barnett, and her family lived in outside a small town on a her father’s ranch in Western Montana on the edge of the Bitterroot Mountains. Growing up on a ranch, Aerolyn grew up accustomed the skill of raising and maintaining livestock of various animals, as well as becoming skilled with horses. The culture and life out in Western Montana on the foothills of a wild and rugged mountain range meant that growing up, she had to learn how to survive off the land. And she fell in love with that sort of lifestyle. While food stores and many modern conveniences may have been near her ranch, the winter’s were long and rough. In order to survive, bushcraft and hunting were essential. Often times her family had to rely on the meat they harvested hunting to survive points in the cold winter, when snow was so deep that travel outside of their home all but became impossible without the use of snowmobiles.

Due to this lifestyle, it was paramount that Aerolyn learned the ways of bushcraft, backpacking, hunting, and how to survive in the kind of country that was untamed and wild, where predators could lurk around the corner and kill sometimes before anyone would know they were getting attacked. And learn this kind of life Aerolyn did from a young age. Ever since she could head into the mountains with her father and shoot a rifle straight, Aerolyn was hunting, learning how to survive in the bush, and spending time in the nature she grew to love and feel at home and at peace with. This kind of culture and upbringing made Aerolyn incredibly close with her family. They operated as one unit, happy and loving. She had the picture perfect family. But these good fortunes would not last.

Aerolyn lived with her mother, father, and younger brother. Early on in her life, her younger brother had contracted a rare case of brain eating amoeba when he was 11, and eventually died, with her in the room as he took his last breath. What was strange about this entire ordeal was that her brother had received the medical dust at this time, but the Dust had not done anything to help her brother. It was the first case of the Dust not helping someone, as even in several other cases of patients eith the same brain eating amoeba, the Dust helped save other people's lives. The family was absolutely devestated by this loss. Aerolyn hit a rough road in her life immediately following it. She was only 13 at the time of her brother’s death. Her and her brother were incredibly close. They were almost like the best of friends. In her life, family was the most important thing. And with one of them taken away, she didn’t know how to cope with such a tremendous loss. After his death, Aerolyn’s father started to drink heavily, and what remained of the family was shattered. No one knew how to handle the loss. But her father went off the deep end. This time in her life is shrouded in mystery. Aerolyn never dare speak of it. The memories are painful, and the scars, both figurative and physically, never fully faded.

At some point after this time, the family became one once again. The demons were driven out. But, the peace, the happiness only lasted so long. When Aerolyn was 18, she contracted an echovirus, which caused Myocarditis. And just like her brother, the Dust that was administered to her did nothing. They were forced to do things the traditional medical way. As such, the only option was for her to get a heart transplant. After the heart transplant, Aerolyn struggled with rehab. Whereas normal medical science at the time dictated the use of Dust, she was unaffected by it. Traditional rehab and immunosuppressants were the only way to achieve any sense of normalcy that she had prior to the heart transplant. Despite her struggles, her heart wasn't rejected by her body, and she continued to live. But for the rest of her life, she would need to take immunosuppressants, or else her own body would attack her heart, and kill it. And what’s more, she'll need more donor hearts after every so often to ensure she can live, as the donor hearts only last so long.

In the years leading up until to the Civil Wars, Aerolyn met a man whom she fell deeply in love with. This man was Wilhelm Woodbead, the future leader of the entire Rebel Forces in the United States. The two met when Woodbead was hired by Aerolyn's father as a ranchand. Aerolyn had been in the hospital when he was hired, and the two would not meet until she came back home following the procedure. Woodbead met her when she was still fairly out of it from the intense physical toll the heart transplant put on her body. Before she knew it, Woodbead was helping on the ranch, and helping her family with her rehab. Once Aerolyn started to come more to it mentally, the two of them just hit it off right away. They could feel they were soulmates, and not long after meeting, started to date. Everything Wilhelm did was for his love. He cared for her, and helped her reach the life she once had as she recovered. The two only fell harder in love as the years went on.

During this time, Wilhelm began to get involved heavily in the Rebel's ideology, which Aerolyn did as well. Woodbead and his love would participate in political rallies and movements as time went on. The two became completely involved in the movement. As Wilhelm was rising in popularity, he bought a ring, and proposed to Aerolyn. A year later, the two were married in a small church in the mountains in a very private ceremony. The two began to plan their life together, or what life Aerolyn would have left in her due to the heart transplant. They were cautious, but dreamed big. They would go on and on about how they would have five kids and live a peaceful life out in the mountains away from a rapidly deteriorating society. But only a few short years later, their plans would change.

As the political climate grew more and more volatile, Wilhelm and his rebel group became better prepared and armed. After a long series of small skirmishes with government and affliliated private groups, the civil war began when the FBI raided the House that Wilhelm and Aerolyn lived in. Unbeknownst to the FBI, Wilhelm and his group had kown of it because of his men who were undercover in the FBI. And when the time came, the signal was sent to start the rebellion. Not a single federal agent not affiliated with the Rebel group survived the raid, and only two out of the 50 people on the rebel's side were hit. The Rebels viewed this as the time to start and take their country back, as skirmishes were happening all around the US.

The events of the war were long and bloody. Aerolyn never was involved in the fighting. But due to history, and the fact she was married to the leader, she received the same training that the men did. But towards the end of the war, an oppurtunity for the United States Government occured where they were able to capture her. They intended to use this as a way to draw Wilhelm out into either peace talks (which they were going to kill them if they agreed, as it was victory at any cost no matter how dirty), or lure him into a trap. He knew it was, but he was not going to let his wife be executed by the Feds. His wife was everything, and he would never go his life without her. So, with his best soliders he converged on the camp she was held. They infiltrated the camp's doors with sheer force and they started the fight to her. The battle was intense,but eventually they made it to her. The two embraced for a moment, before they led her out of the compound. But just before they could exit, their extraction team was overrun, their helo shot down, and they became cornered. The Feds and the rebels knew there was no surrendering. The Rebels took out as many as they could, but in the end, the volume of fire against them was too much. Wilhelm died by jumping on his wife and letting his body and his body armor take the hits. He was not killed immediately, however. The two exchanged a final goodby, before a federal agent came and killed Wilhelm. They still wanted Aerolyn prisoner to use her for ways to demoralize the Rebels, before they would execute her, as she was just as beloved as Wilhelm.

Just before they were going to execute her, the parasite attcked. And through brutal experiments, they learned that she was immune to it. As such, they kept her alive for study. But as the war against the parasite grew more and more desparate, they knew her imunity was the last hope against the parasite. Because of this, a mission was launched to get her to the one place where there was any chance of utilizing her cure and stopping the parasite.



Personality (One paragraph minimum): Aerolym was always described as one of the kindest, most purehearted individuals anyone had ever met. People frequently spoke of how she would do anything help others, to help her people. She was strong, having been through so much in her life, yet always found a way to smile at others, and even make conversation with strangers. Her natural charisma won manypeople over, and helped her become beloved by the people who followed her husband. But when she was captured, and her husband killed, she found it hard to smile, to feel the desire to be kind and outgoing. Her charisma all but vanished. She became a shell of who she was. She no longer would talk, but preferred to stay quiet. She found herself crying often over the pain she'd endured in her life. Despite how her life had fallen apart, but she knew she had to be strong for her people. In any appearance the Feds used her for to demoralize her people, she faked her true feelings for them. Her cause was the last thing worth dying for, and she knew her husband wouldn't want her to give up, even though she wanted to so badly. Things only could stay that way so long, however. The parasite attacked, destroying her people's chance of victory. And the Feds conducted brutal experiments with her when it came to the parasite. By the time the mission came, she was beyond demoralized, but only kept going since she had no choice. Quiet as she was, she marched on hoping that, at the very least, she could stop the parasite before all of Earth, and most importantly all of her people, were consumed by it.

[Peacemaker .45]

Name: Sawyer Lee

Height: 6’4

Age: 30

Biography (2-3 paragraph minimum. Be as detailed as you can without spoiling anything you don't wish to share in the CS):

Sawyer Lee was born into the Lee family, being related to the famous Confederate General Robert E. Lee. With the notoriety and history of his family, Sawyer felt as if he had a lot to accomplish to live up to his name. During his upbringing, his father hounded into him the necessity physical fitness, and trained him how to hunt, track, fish, and live off the land. His father wanted to instill that in his son from a young age. And along with that, he consistently told Sawyer the meaning of “God, Family, and Country.” Sawyer was patriotic from a young age because of this, and was a hardened boy when he got into his teenage years.

During high school, Sawyer was a straight A student and a gifted athlete. He was a quarterback on his high school football team, and was able to lead his team to a state championship game that they one in his senior year. Colleges were adamant about recruiting him. But Sawyer didn’t want to go to college, or become a professional athlete. He had aspirations of being a soldier, and the best soldier he could possibly be for his beloved country, the United States of America. And in the tradition of his family’s legacy, Sawyer did just that. As soon as he finished high school, Sawyer enlisted in the Navy, and eventually went on to Navy SEAL BUD/S training. He became one of the best SEALs in the history of their training, beating numerous BUD/S training records. He easily completed BUD/S Training, and earned his Trident.

Over the course of his career, Sawyer went on to earn numerous awards for his actions and heroism in combat. He was deployed all over the world on some of the most dangerous missions the SEALS would have to carry out. But he always managed to survive every mission. He quickly climbed through the ranks as a SEAL, and in SEAL circles, became one of the most well respected members of the SEALs.

Sawyer was deployed in Afghanistan when news of civil war broke out in the US. Sawyer was shocked to learn how well coordinated the Rebels were, and how they were easily taking parts of the country over. Once things were looking back for the US Government, he and his SEAL Team were extracted from the country and sent stateside to help retake land lost to the Rebels. When Sawyer learned the reality of the war, he was angered and disgusted. He was told of massacres committed by these Rebels, his fellow countrymen, who murdered his own brothers and sisters in nation. Sawyer practically jumped at the idea of being able to put these traitors down. As such, Sawyer would take part in some of the most covert operations in the civil war. His most successful mission would be the one that captured Aerolyn Woodbead, the wife of the leader of the Rebels, someone that Sawyer hated for what he’d done to his country he loved.

Sawyer was never involved in any of the dealings with Mrs. Woodbead once captured. The Feds holding her would not let him, or any SEAL, be in the rooms where she was. Sawyer hated her, and wished he could’ve killed her himself. She and her husband were amongst some of the greatest evils in history in his mind. But, while she was held captive, he was ordered to keep the base secure where she was held, as intel said that Rebel retaliation and attempted rescue were highly probable. Sure enough, the time came when the rebels would attack, lead by Wilhelm Woodbead, to rescue his wife. During the beginning of the attack, Sawyer was ordered to stay withdrawn in the shadows while the Rebels entered the compound. It was only when they tried to escape that he was to be involved. The extraction team was the first target of his, along with the evac helo. Both were successfully taken care of by his team. And when the time came to stop Wilhelm, he and his team were at the forefront of the engagement that ultimately took down the extraction team. Sawyer himself put Wilhelm down in front of Aerolyn, to her horror and his joy. He personally escorted her to the Generals to decide her fate.

Following the battle, Sawyer returned to the frontlines of the war, trying his hardest to repel rebel attacks. But it seemed futile. The rebels were enraged by Wilhelm’s death. The spirit they fought with, along with their passion and ferocity, earned Sawyer a respect as an adversary. But the war would be upended when the parasite attacked.

Sawyer was in one of the first areas to be completely overrun by the parasite, Washington D.C. While he and his team took place in numerous battles against the parasite, they were losing, and fast. There was no consensus on how to fight the parasite. Things rapidly advanced with the outbreak, and Sawyer knew this was a losing war on the ground. He was ordered back to a secretive nuclear bunker when the decision was made that nuclear Armageddon to slow the parasite down was the only option so they attempt their Hail Mary of a plan. Once the fires and bombs stopped dropping, Sawyer was tasked with bringing the very woman he hated for what happened to his country, Aerolyn Woodbead, to a secretive base in one of the most remote parts of Canada, in order for them to extract her immunity to the parasite and effectively use it in an alien sort of construct to disperse it in the air. Sawyer had to put his feelings aside about the woman, as he understood the gravity of the situation. Sawyer would command this group of survivors to the Nahanni River Valley in Canada, with it being stated that this must happen under any circumstances, and that she was needed alive. He quickly understood this was the most important mission he, or any of his men, would have ever conducted.

Personality (One paragraph minimum):
Sawyer was a charismatic guy, beloved by his peers. Stern and rational, his quick thinking had become one of his greatest attributes, as he always seemed to know what to do on a moment’s notice. He was regarded as one of the best leaders in the SEAL Teams, and morale under his command always improved. People loved him, they adored his leadership. As time went on, he became quiet and reserved, partially as a coping mechanism for the trauma he has witnessed and experienced. Due to this, he tends to keep a lot to himself, which overtime has damaged his psyche. But with the mission at hand, his stress has skyrocketed. He now must, under any circumstances, deliver a woman he hates because the fate of humanity rests on his, and her, shoulders.​

 

[BeyondDandy]

Name: Anthony Duran

Age: 32 years old

Spoiler: Biography

Born in the providence of British Columbia, Canadian native Anthony Duran is a proud Canuck. Raised in a normal middle-class family, Anthony (alongside his younger sister) learned about hard work at a very young age. Never deprived of the things he wanted, Anthony was very privileged to have parents that dedicated their lives to him. His father was his idol, a man that came tired from work every night, but still made time to sit at the dinner table with his family and enjoy their company. In high school, Anthony found a passion for sports - a little late for most children, but it paid off in the long run. He quickly became a natural track star, dabbling in cross country and triathlons later in his life. He gained scholarships to run for universities all throughout the country, even in America. He ended up staying in Canada, taking advantage of a paid scholarship that allowed him to graduate with a master's in mechanical engineering. Though his future took a sharp turn when he lost his father.

Months after graduating, his father passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. The old man died in his bed peacefully and surrounded by family - just the way they had all hoped for. This however gave Anthony some perspective on life. Despite having the opportunity for a decent career, he wanted purpose. He grew older day to day and did not want to waste his life away earning money for a company that would eventually let him go when he was too old - though his father was his idol, he wanted to be better than him. Therefore instead, he decided to join the Canadian Armed Forces. A natural soldier, Anthony proved himself early in the registration process. All throughout training he found himself miles ahead of his group, both physically and mentally. He was very competitive, a nature introduced to him in sports. Quickly he found himself earning ranks, eventually leading to an opportunity with the Canadian Special Operations Regiment.

Years of service opened many doors for Anthony and crafted long-lasting relationships he would never forget. It was at the dawn of the worldwide retaliations that those bonds were put in to the test. He and his unit were put in dire situations when the rebel forces began to gain momentum during the civil wars. In Canada, the prime minister had a big influence on daily military activity. Their unit was tasked with removing specific individuals that aided the rebel forces. There was an unfortunate amount of casualties during their raids, many unaware of who and what they were really fighting for. It was a grim time for their regime, but national security was at stake and Anthony took his job very seriously. His mission during this time was very clear - he just was not sure if he was on the right side of the fight.

When the parasite grew wild and began to infect all through Canada, Anthony and his crew were front and center. Attempting to control the spread, they cleared civilian life town after town before bombings ensued. They became an extraction team, something that would normally be tasked to local security - but local security was dead so it was up to them. The civil wars were over at this point and it was the simple survival of humanity that steered most important. This new profound mission to save humanity rejuvenated Anthony's drive and desire to be a soldier. His rank and hard work have now found him south of his home to a remote location in the United States where he will aid in the biggest mission in earth's lifetime - the parasite cure. He has been tasked with aiding American forces in transporting Aerolyn Woodbead, the woman that would save the world.

Personality:
Genuine and honest, Anthony’s best attributes display truth and integrity. He is a man of his word, holding himself to standards he sets upon himself and that we’re set upon him by the memory of his father. Competitive in nature, Anthony does not like to lose. He trains both body and mind to be better than the person next to him, not out of spite but out of a self desire to be successful in every aspect of life. He is very passionate about life, either expressing it through calm positivity or overwhelming outburst of encouragement - which can be confused with bigotry. On a side note, he can be aggressive in times of turmoil. He can express himself assertively with a tone of voice seemingly arrogant, but his intentions are always pure and out of love.

 

[101]

Liam Burner
​

Age; 29

Height; 5’11”

Weight; 205 ibs.

Body type; Athletic, lean type.

Spoiler: Biography

Born the youngest sibling in the burner family, his father was a C.I.A operative and his mother was a stay at home mom, caring to the three kids she had. Those three kids were, Jonah born 5 years before Liam, Aphrodite born 3 years before Liam , and Liam was the youngest child.

Since his father wasn’t home much, he had always looked up too his eldest brother and his older sister. He cared deeply for his mother and his other siblings, his values mostly being,”Family comes first”. While he was in the sixth grade, he had heard his mother and Jonah having a conversation about Jonah’s future. And, as you can imagine, Jonah admired that he wanted to join the U.S army more specifically, aimed to be a U.S Ranger.

Little Liam was immediately amazed by his brothers choice of his future, and soon Jonahs goal became Liam’s goal too. Graduating at 17, and putting in the hard work to do so, he quickly enlisted into the army, getting done with basic training and quickly getting into Airborne school, getting his laird of wings. After airborne school, his higher uppers recognized his hard work and quickly gave him an invitation to go to RASP. After getting his training done and passing the school he got his ranger tab. After a few weeks, he finally joined the 75th Ranger Regiment.

Not long he quickly found himself to be deployed into Iraq, and as the ranger motto says,

Rangers Lead the way.
He did do that, participating in extract and exfil missions, raids and other classified operations, he was very well known for his great aim and even greater charactership and , never ever leaving someone behind as a ranger should be following the ranger creed.

After 3 years he soon realized he had a bigger calling, something even more advanced and elite, that grip being no one else but the elite special forces called,’Delta force’.

After 2 years of training he was not only apart of Delta force, but one of the best in the elite group. While being one of the most quite guys in the group, he was the most dangerous.

Though much too his surprise, he was sent back home. And talks of a civil war put him in the midst of civil war. Him and delta force, were out on missions, raiding the rebels outposts and capturing the rebels too for questioning and other methods.

Later in the civil war he became a operative in the extractios of important figures of the rebellion, major or minor leaders and other VIP’s of the rebellion. Though sadly much to his wishes, Didn’t get too participate and lead in the extraction of Aeroyln Woodbead. The husband of Willhelm Woodbead.

The reason of him begging to the higher uppers for him and the rangers too have control over the raid is because his brother, Jonah, who was retired from the rangers and worked in the fbi, was one of the great men and women that died in the raid of the important rebellion outpost. Liam was furious and wanted revenge, wanting too have revenge on Wilhelm. Jonah had two daughters and a wife. Wilhelm took Jonah away from his family. And he’ll take Wilhelm from his family .

He wasn’t too happy about this not at all. Not only was his brother apart of the fbi raid that had no survivors but, Delta Force and the Seals had quite a rivalry and ‘hatred’ for each other only sparking his anger more. In his own opinion, the rangers and Delta Force did all of the work while the Navy Seals only did “important” stuff stealing all of the credit of the Rangers and Delta Force.

Then the infection hit and he found himself battling the dead and they were losing. Badly. He soon found himself to be a operative in a group that will transport the infamous Aerolyn. He didn’t have a grudge for her, especially after her husbands death, even if he wanted to be the man to pull the trigger.

Liam had past exes in his life but nothing lasted up too marriage. After his brothers death, Liam was scared of starting a family and leaving them behind if he ever died out on a mission. Seeing Liam’s wife, Miranda, his two daughters, Julienne and Kensey, full of deep sadness, made him fear death. Even if he himself wasn’t scared of dying but his death impact thoose that he loved and cared deeply for.

Personality;
Liam is a more quite and introverted guy, but that didn’t stop people from knowing what he was capable of killing a man in multiple ways. Even if Liam wanted to have the least amount of casualties, both friends and enemies alike. He was sorta the pacifist of the ranger stereotype, that stereotype pairing the image of them being adrenaline junkies with a a happy trigger finger. (Even if half of that is true about them.) He only resorted to killing when absolutely necessary, and when someone crosses that line….he’ll be the first too put them in the ground.

 

[Eviexe]

Name: Ranee K. Escherich

Appearance: [Eva Green] — Like most of her ilk, Ranee is crushed by tiredness and wrung out by exhaustion; smearing her in splodgy bags and lines. She’s one step away from drowning out her sorrows in whiskey— it shows in every crumpled corner and half-formed smile. At the same time, she’s become the anthesis of stress. It’s become a part of her; down through the stringy brown hair and blown blue eyes; the faintness traversing her eyes on a cloudy day. Scarred hands, but the stillness of her movements bespoke her occupation; she’s every bit of the Doctor she claims to be. Nothing more or less in her stagnated shoulders, but there’s an urgency in her to bounce and flitter. It’s a complicated contrast, but she’s learned to live with herself and use that to her advantage.

Age: 34

Biography: A textbook-born daughter of a single father and a mother with nowhere in sight; throw in a few complexes and Ranee would say you have her life figured out in two steps. Wanting to overachieve for a scrap of love or approval? You got her pinned. Wanting to compete with others of her age? Well damn, the autobiography steeped in parental neglect and societal degradation on mass? She couldn’t have put her own backstory any better. Her father, despite all the faults she claims, was the only person in her life to stick with her. Before the war and the bombings— her father; Justin Escherich was a man who bore himself with a multitude of jobs and paved the way for Ranee. Her mother, possessing some sense of self-preservation, skipped out on motherhood quickly. Leaving behind a screaming bundle in Justin’s arms. But Ranee inherited something from the nameless woman; an urge to rebuild herself constantly and reach for something more than the average lines her father walked. He did his best, but unfortunately, more days were spent in the company of her own books she hoisted from the library and magazines she stole from the local store. Her passion for medicine blossomed in gruesome obsession and her fascination with putting things back together was a little more telling in her infancy.

Columbia University was her choice upon graduating and moving through her degree; undergrad to study medicine, her demonstration in both biology and chemistry evidently earned approval from her educators. Emergency medicine seemed like her bag, but Ranee scripted her services into the military — when the call became increasingly more frequent for people of her occupation to put themselves forward. Of course, she was limited to the base itself and treating the wounded who came back from what she described as “gruelling conditions,” but the United States Armed Forces to her was a central piece in the front lines. The Civil wars, in her opinion, were nothing short of people vying for power. Yet all that paled compared to the spread of the infection; eventually, her status moved her into pathology on one of the major bases and working alongside other scientists to discern the root cause. Dr. Escherich sought to place herself in a smaller clinic; her broad knowledge of medicine and years of patching up soldiers made her a small valuable asset. Understanding the disease was like trying to understand a complicated ball of yarn; in essence, there were tangible threads to understand, but the underlining cause and picture became blurred the more she tried to study it. Ranee’s formidable experience and prior skills in emergency medicine made her a suitable choice for the mission. To monitor the virus and keep the team stabilised in relatively good fighting conditions. She was hesitant to really attach herself to a mission that was probably doomed to fail— but her curiosity and budding need to put her career forward prodded in acceptance. And she sympathised more than once with Aerolyn and the thoughts of immunity seemed so scarce, like a fairy tale curse.

Personality: Ranee, in her own definition, is a patchwork of medical terms and diagnosis; leaning on her medical knowledge like a shield from the world and posturing herself with the importance which rivals her job. Egotistical, but she’s steadily calm and very forthcoming with what she thinks to be [with or without her opinion], grandstanding in her ability to be critically blunt. She’s aged out from the demure clasps of her earlier twenties, and she challenges the world in a duality of suppressed optimism and heightened realism. Her bedside manner is commonly cold and defaults more to a “well, didn’t I tell you so?” in all her interactions. Perhaps empathy is a work in progress, but Ranee doesn’t view death as all-encompassing; the end of the cycle and peace are just behind that door. Does she want to die? No, but is she fearful about taking a life? Also, no. Death has saturated in more ways than she could ever possibly conceive and treats the process like a stern wound refusing to close. She’ll do her best, her very pride would demand penance on sleepless nights and toss her into another frenzy.

Extra Character Information (optional):

> Ranee lost her father like many others in the bombings; she was informed on duty.
> The desperation and grapple for survival was patent in the clinic, ready to snap and devour.
> Ranee’s work and stifling hours prevented her from ever forming any meaningful connections.
