Realistic or Modern "Don't Get Bit" Characters

Plot:

In a world riddled by illness and disease, a group of underground scientists known as Black Claw work to find a cure - to find the cure. Their research is unconventional, humans being the main test subjects as they work to find a cure that works for all diseases. While their intentions are mostly good, their processes aren't. After trial after trial, a breakthrough finally happens. For once, things are going right for Black Claw and they can finally go public with their research. Just as they are about to announce their trials to the FDA, test subjects begin to die. Black Claw thinks nothing of it at first and accounts it to maybe just maybe they were too late. Maybe they didn't cure their host in time. That is until, the deceased test subjects come back. When the test subjects reanimate, they come back as vicious creatures that only have one focus in mind: carnage. It doesn't take long for these reanimated subjects to work their way through Black Claw and to kill and infect the scientists whom work there.

One scientist manages to escape but not before being bitten during their escape attempt. The infection sears through them within a matter of hours and they do what the test subjects did: they reanimate and infect many civilians within a train station. First responders do their best to keep things under wraps, but eventually the infected manage to escape the train station and to wreak havoc on New York City. In an effort to contain the situation law officials have begun to put New York City on lock down, requesting that nobody leave their homes. On top of putting the city on lock down, they have also worked to keep anybody from coming in or out of the city in order to prevent further casualties.

Rules:
1. All RPN rules apply here.
2. Be able to post at least once per day.
3. I'm looking for semi literate role-players. You must be able to post at least one well written paragraph in third person and past tense.
4. Relationships between characters must be pre-established between yourself and the person playing the other character.
5. Try to keep things PG-13. This includes romance and any violence and/or gore.
6. When posting, we will do things as a cycle. This means that for one of my posts, you get a post. This should help to avoid anybody getting left behind.
7. Your character is not invincible! They are human! Things will hurt them. They will make mistakes. Please play them as such. A bite is an instant death sentence for your character but a scratch is not! A scratch just means that they will get very very sick.
8. All character sheets must be messaged to me for approval before you can post them. If you post without my consent, your character will be deleted.

Personality
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
 
phoebe-tonkin-tn.jpg
Allana Schade // 25 // Survivor - Former kennel owner
There's many ways that a person could describe Allana but the description always ends here: softie, child at heart, and "mama bear". She does her best to help others around her, often dropping whatever she is doing if somebody needs her help. She's that friend you can call at three AM in the morning and no matter how tired or how early she has to be up - she will come for you. With this being said, she's also very protective of those she cares about and isn't afraid to put somebody in their place if they over step.
Strengths: Rational, charismatic, resourceful, basic first aid knowledge
Weaknesses: Others often come first - even when they shouldn't. She doesn't quite know when or really how to ask for help. She doesn't know how to fight.

Theresa Murphy // 20 // survivor-college student
Stubborn is the best word there is to describe Theresa. She gets what she wants, no matter what she has to do to get it. Anything she sets her mind to she finds a way to do or get. This quality is usually a bad thing, especially in a time when they should probably be careful. In addition to her determination she's very forward and honestly a little bit aggressive. This again stems from her inherent need to succeed in her goal. She's aggressive in the way that she'll berate people that seem to be either a) in her way or have b) hurt someone she loves, emotionally or physically.
Strengths: stubborn, protective, she speaks her mind, resourceful
Weaknesses: stubborn (it goes both ways 🤷‍♀️), aggressive, reckless.

Jasper Bennett // 24 // survivor-entry level data entry
Jasper is that guy that stands in the corner and seems like he doesn't really care about anything. He does his best to show as little emotion as possible, its appears to those who don't know him that keeping up his 'cool guy-doesn't care' facade is the only thing he actually cares about. Of course he acts like this to protect himself, they always do. Before the world ended he worked in an entry level job that he hated, lived in an apartment he hated, and was basically angry at everything in his life. Beneath the anger Jasper is full of emotions that he doesn't always know what to do about since he's only ever been angry or indifferent. While it appears like he doesn't contribute he does in either a bunch of little ways or he'll do helpful things while no one else is paying attention.
Strengths: actually a smart dude, non-confrontational (doesn't really cause problems), knows a little self defense (he lived in a sketchy neighborhood so he had to be safe)
Weaknesses: he's got walls UP my guy, angry, not super strong, bad at communication
 
Jack Black.jpg
(Jack Black)
Ned Tartakovsky // 27// Survivor - Former Conspiracy Theorist/Podcaster
If you ask fans of the podcast "The Last Whistleblower", they'll say that Ned is a fearless, insightful, funny and intense guy with a 'take no prisoners' approach to investigative journalism. If you ask anyone else however, they'd tell you that Ned is nothing more than an insane, aggressive, obnoxious basement dwelling geek who's theories are nothing more than conjecture based horror stories he found at 3am while browsing reddit and 4chan and decided to record rants about. Love him or hate him, the general consensus on Ned is that he certainly has opinions, and they're entertaining to listen to, whether you agree with them or not.
Ned is intuitive and fearless, yet he is also deeply paranoid and a bit narcissistic. He'll tell you that his interest in conspiracies is out of a desire to keep the people informed, when in reality it is because he is scared to death of what he doesn't understand. He has to have a plan for everything, not just for survival, but even for what he has to wear or eat the next morning. He is a meticulous planner as the fallout shelter he built in his basement will prove, and he does not react well when no one takes his advice or listens to his plan.
Strengths: Trained Survivalist, Headstrong Confidence, Always has a plan.
Weaknesses: Deeply paranoid, Arrogant to a fault, Doesn't know when to shut up.

Helena Sparts // 30 // survivor - formerly unemployed

Personality
Helena kinda doesn’t hate the apocalypse, and she kinda hates herself for that.

People are literally dropping dead on the streets around her, blood staining their lips and tears drowning their eyes, and that’s horrible. She knows that’s horrible. But also, as she’s all too aware of, she’s selfish. And when she looks at what her life is now compared to what it was - a high school genius turned high school drop out, surfing on couches and scrounging for food and wondering what the hell went wrong with her and whether she was even right in the first place - well...if she could turn back time, she wouldn’t. At least now everyone else is as messed up as she is.

Helena is pragmatic, and logical, and keeps a clear head in emergencies. She also, sometimes, struggles to get out of bed in the morning under the weight of existentialism, guilt and seething self hatred. She is empathetic and friendly, but flees at the first sign of emotional connection for fear of feeling something beyond the dull despondency she’s used to. She knows when she should be sad and what should horrify her, but sometimes she’s too selfish to feel what she should, and that scares her. She’s a good leader, with a quick mind and a strong will, but she’s got no one to lead. For now.

Strengths
Intelligent, pragmatic, good survival instincts, strong public speaker, strategist

Weaknesses
Depressive tendencies, emotionally distant, improvised combat techniques​

Nedda Serena // 23 // Survivor - Immigration Officer

Nedda is a bright and happy person, loves to smile at everyone. Even at work during her security checks, she would rather smile and do her work politely as opposed to her workmates that would give people stern faces. She was often looked down by her workmates for being 'too nice' to travelers and often ask her why she even chose her job in the first place. Despite her friendly nature, Nedda herself knows when to draw the line, its just that hers was way further than others. But, the moment you try to cross it, watch out! She'll be fiercer and more scary than the zombies you encounter. Despite being 23, due to her height being 5'1", people often mistake her for 17 and she has a serious complex about not being treated as an adult.

Strengths: Optimistic, learnt Pencak Silat Martial Arts, can use a revolver, calm in dire situations.

Weaknesses: Makes sure that others are safe before herself, sometimes literally trips on nothing while walking​

Anthony Wang // 25 // Survivor - Former police officer

Anthony is a calm and kind individual who has ease putting himself in others' shoes. It thus came to nobody's suprise when Anthony decided to enroll at the police academy, as he has a way of calming people down in dire situations. He's a man with a strong sense of what's right and wrong and he can be a bit stubborn, but only because he believes his way is the best and safest. Losing keys, forgetting his wallet at home and having the office's most disorganized desk are all things that apply to Anthony. He blames it on having too many thoughts running around his head.

Strengths: resourceful, physically strong, compassionate, has experience with guns
Weaknesses: scatterbrained, hates asking for help, stubborn


6ae4919589cab537bd546e1f194eaaa0.jpg

Joey Walters // 19 // Survivor - College student

Joey is a very analytical person, she’s very perceptive and is good at reading others. Sometimes without realizing it herself. Even though she understands other’s feelings with ease, she values logic and the truth above people’s feelings, though she rarely has malicious intentions. She's a rather honest person and in turn values honesty in the people around her. She isn’t afraid of calling someone out or sharing her opinions. While she’s usually pretty cold and can be a bit selfish, once someone is close to her they can expect a very loyal and compassionate friend. Paranoia is something Joey is very familiar with at this point. Ever since the corpses started rising she has had issues with trusting people, for obvious reasons. Joey has a very petite frame and only reaches 5'1 on a good day.

Strengths: knowledgeable in science and electronics, problem solving, agile, fast runner
Weaknesses: apathetic, distrustful, impatient, paranoid​

Fallon Belvedere // 26 // Survivor-Mechanic
Fallon is hot headed and loud mouthed, it has a lot to do with her upbringing and the life she has chosen to live over the years. Abuse as a kid has made her stronger but also more difficult to be around. She lurks in the shadows as an attempt to stay out of trouble but trouble always seems to find a way back to her. She’s got a tough exterior as a shield to hide her broken self but she has cracked in the past

Before the apocalypse she was working as a mechanic mostly hogs, in an abusive relationship that she couldn’t find a way out of until he got bit and she had to bash his head in with a Louisville slugger, that surely put a smile on her face, the first time in a long time.
Strengths: Shes good with a bat. Can fix just about anything.
Weaknesses: Stubborn and strong willed. Doesn’t know how/when to hold back.

[PHYSICAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT]



Good personality traits: Joel is well-mannered, polite, courteous and well-disciplined to those he knows well. As a Captain of his team, he went above and beyond to ensure the safety of his teammates, sometimes over the success of the mission...

Bad personality traits: When it came to outsiders, Joel doesn't trust anyone, and for good reason. Largely out for himself nowadays, Joel prefers to work alone. Yet, if finding himself in a group, he'll find himself most often than not agreeing to help out of necessity- if the group proves themselves worthy of not getting a bullet to the head, that is.

Mood character is most often in: Joel is a bitter, resentful man who is consistently haunted by his past demons, yet fights through them to see the most out of every situation. When engaged in socialization, Joel is reserved yet communicable to those he encounters- often quick to become irritated at questions regarding his past, or simply not worth his time answering. Break through the hard exterior, and beneath is a broken man yearning for a life once lived.

Sense of humor: Joel's humor is dry and often dark to those who don't quite know him, largely coming off as sarcastic. However, there's a more lighthearted side to the soldier that only few have gotten to see.

Character’s greatest joy in life: Joel's joy lies within his own survival, and ensuring the survival of others he can trust, if he can trust them. As a man nearly losing everything he once held dear, Joel has a strong hope for a brighter future.

Character’s greatest fear: Joel fears loss, and failure. While not fearful of his own mortality, Joel's outlook on the survival of others depends on who he encounters first.

Priorities: For now, his mission is survival. Largely nomadic, Joel's ultimate goal is to attempt to return to a normal live. Build a community, and find some ray of normalcy in a shattered world.

If granted one wish, it would be: The restoration of society.

Greatest strength: Joel's greatest strength is, to any end, himself. Having to stay strong under the worst possible circumstances would cause anyone to break, but he's held his ground so far.

Greatest vulnerability or weakness: Joel's greatest vulnerability is allowing himself to trust others.

Hobbies: During his time prior to the Excursion Zone Deployment, Joel was quite a skilled guitarist and avid singer.

Smokes: No smoking on duty.

Drinks: No drinking on duty. Or at least, not again after what happened last time...

Other drugs: N/A

Extremely skilled at: Weapons operation, CQC, First Aid, Mechanical Engineering.

Extremely unskilled at: Explosives, Computer hacking, Vehicle operation, Science


Traits
Optimist or pessimist? Joel is mindful of negative, cynical thinking. While not everything is sunshine and rainbows, he prefers to make the most of every situation beneficial to himself or others.

Introvert or extrovert? Joel is largely withdrawn and won't open up unless it is urgent to communicate or he is otherwise directly confronted.

Daredevil or cautious? Joel has seen too many casualties due to impulse, and prefers to approach situations with a degree of forethought.

Logical or emotional? For the most part, Joel is very analytical, rational and logical. However, there are a few specific instances where emotion can override even the strongest soldier.

Disorderly and messy or methodical and neat? Joel is, from experience and consistent discipline, very methodical and neat.

Prefers working or relaxing? Joel never finds time to rest. As long as there's a guaranteed threat to his survival, he'll stop at nothing to ensure it is resolved.

Confident or unsure of himself/herself? Joel is highly confident of himself, but never cocky.

Animal lover? Having never bothered interacting with animals outside of military orders, Joel only seems to have a tolerance for them- of course, that can be changed.
