Need Characters
Jul 8 2009, 10:22 PM EDT
So far this has been fairly character devoid. Any type of story needs characters, so I'd like to get a few from you guys.So toss in a few characters and a brief description. -Name -Physical Description / Gear -Personality -Character Flaws -Proficiencies -Notes Any special conditions, what you'd like me to avoid writing them into. etc. I shouldn't really have to say this, but keep it realistic. If you include callsigns, make sure they have a real name as well. Weapons shouldn't be uncommon without good reason, and they shouldn't be perfect at everything. Thanks in advance for any input. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

I don't know where this story is going, but if you want the team to *eventually* go to Nastya's, he could be the guy that leads them there.Otherwise, I'm not sure. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Name: Roderick BlairPhysical Description: In his late-twenties to early-thirties, physically fit, has a hight of six-foot-four, has long white hair (it turned white early), brown eyes, naturally harsh eyebrows, which stayed black, a black goatee, has remarkably white teeth, a tattoo of a quarter note on the upper portion of his left arm, and has the fourth finger of his right hand has a huge scar running down it. Gear: His WWII-vet grandfather's M1 Garand, his 'Nam vet, gun nut uncle's M16, both simply strapped on, some generic, steel toed army boots, a kukri that he cleans and polishes at every logical interval, a balisong, and a smoking pipe that he very occasionally uses. Personality: Quiet and professional. When he talks, you know it's worth hearing. Hard to scare. Very focused. Doesn't acquire attachments easily, but when he does, he's extremely loyal. Brave, but intelegently so. Detatched and objective: he comes upon a bloodbath, he feels almost nothing. Character flaws: Hard to comunicate with. Headstrong; doesn't like to follow, only likes to lead. Because of his lack of attachments and communication, most people come to dislike him. He is to his kukri as Indiana Jones is to his hat: He'd risk limb and life for it. Proficiencies: Makes a good demo man; he has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of improv explosives and such. A quiet professional: makes for a good assasin. Highly skilled with firearms. A knowledgeable mantrapper. Well versed in improvised weaponry. NOTE: A quarter note looks like this: ♩ He has served as a mercenary in Havana. He's Canadian. His fiance was killed by zombies before his eyes. NOTE FROM DREWBLET: Is it okay if I steal this guy for my own stories? I just realized that he's such a quality character that I'd like to use him, myself. I could change his name for mine, if you prefer. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"You're entitled to your own character and using it."Once again, you can use him; I just wondered if you minded if I used the same guy. And I will change his name for my yarns. I've got a female character that I'l add here, later, by the way. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

name: David sivvianphysical description: bony, but fast. very endurable, once took a punch to the head from a heavy weight boxer but remained standing, that is how he got his tattoo saying: heavy weight buster. he also likes to have a number 2 buzz cut. gear/weapons: dual machetes, berreta9mm. handgun, a double barrel shotgun with a sawn off barrel, knapsack, emergency kit, water bottle, a dirt bike which he has used ever since highway travel was impossible, & a leather jacket to make him look dangerous. personality: patient & independent. whenever others offer assistance, his number on catch phrase is: "i don't play nicely with others." his independence can be an advantage, as he does not rely on others so heavily because of it. used to working very hard & only putting food on the table for one person. weaknesses: his lone wolf style makes him an easy target. this also makes him unable to perform tasks that require more than one person. he says that others will just be obstacles in terms of supplies. advantages & skills: creative & improvising, once took out a hoard with a broken car & a wooden stick. tough & fast, could go for 2 weeks without food & 5 days without water. is used to the poor lifestyle & does not complain about lack of luxuries. will eat anything that is good for him, no matter what the taste. is a good shot at long distances, &adapts very quickly. notes: the average lone wolf survivor. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

name: Greg Davisphysical description: chubby, short, long hair, & very energetic gear/weapons: H&k UMP 45 sub machine gun, chainsaw, Kevlar vest, full camping gear & a HUMVEE. personality: used to the good life, used to be rich & popular before z-day. hates animals unless they are cooked with sauce. very fussy, & his inherited wealth made him not try hard at anything, & he only was in college to flirt & hang out with his friends. character weaknesses: very fussy, has tantrums when not the leader or center of attention, & his wealth from before z-day made him very demanding. most of his group wonder why they don't make him sleep outside their hideout. he is very arrogant & stuck up, this makes others treat him with little respect. advantages & skills: sometimes his clumsiness can cause chaos & confusion among the enemies. he is also a good laugh to keep the spirits up, & others enjoy his arguing with the survivors that he looks down on. can also be a good distraction for any bug out plan if you leave him behind. he also had shooting lessons with his millionare father, who owns several gunstores as part of his luxury. he was never a good shot, but is good at cleaning & maintaining weapons. note: a brat. basically the paris hilton of the post z-day world. status: lucky to be alive with some smart capable friends. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.
