Character Name: Henry Draton.
Characters age: 25.
Gender: Male.
Future Ambitions: surviving, helping others, educating people.
Skills: He is good with certain programming languages such as C (89/90 standard), Visual Basic, Lua, and currently breaking the ice with x86 Assembly.  He also has good enough knowledge on computers that he can repair and reassemble a system.  Finally he has plenty of knowledge on operating systems that are Unix derived.  Also knows how to handle a gun and not get cut up by glass when you break a window.

Characters biography/back-story (make this 3-4+ paragraphs and relate to the story):


Henry Draton was born in Memphis, Tennessee, in the United States of America.  He grew up in Lakeland, Tennessee, just a few minutes outside of downtown Memphis.  Growing up near the Mississippi river, he was a very stupid child.  As he grew older (around 16) and interacted with his neighbors he began to develop as a person, finally to the point where he wasn't stupid.  He learned how to program using Lua, then C89/90, then broke the ice with x86 Assembly, and then finally began work in Visual Basic.  He became a man of specifics, preferring certain clothing strongly over anything else, keeping to C as a programming language and denouncing anything else as trash.

After graduating from high school and successfully publishing his first game, he used his earnings to move to Alaska (as he didn't like his parents or his sibling Joshua that much).  Eventually, as such was released, it was shown that he was always afraid of the genementer, partially because he didn't like change other than that brought upon by himself.  He thought of the changes in war as disgusting, but always kept his opinions to himself as he lurked on forum boards discussing the subject.  He was one of the people who thought of the restricting of the use of the genementer to government uses only as 'not enough restriction on the subject'.

When the apocalypse finally hit, he was angry.  His nice life in Anchorage, Alaska was made a thing of the past;  going on the run from a gang after surviving their scrape with locals for food.  Eventually he wandered into Greenwood, Alaska;  regretful for not knowing the fate of his family back in the contiguous United States.  Being the loner he is, he is hesitant to join a group;  but he is doubtful that he could survive further on his own out here.


What faction do you hope to join?  The Modernizers or The Republic.

Characters biography/back-story (make this 3-4+ paragraphs and relate to the story):
   I grew up in Phoenix.  I wasn't very special, a tad smart, a bit outdoors-ey.  I got out of high school, got a job working at a restaurant.  Then This buddy of mine had a really great idea, we'd go live up in Alaska, make it big on some idea of his, and come back down to the continental states.  Didn't work out, I was stranded in Alaska.  I wound up with an IT job at a hotel.  Fortunately, my hick cousin lived around, so it wasn't too bad.
   Every now and again my cousin would come around and we'd go hunting for sport, nothing too weird.  The only thing that wasn't exactly normal about me was that I never really bothered with a girlfriend.  My cousin and a few friends tried to get me one more than once, but it just never panned out.  Whatever.  Well, one day my cousin just died, no good reason, heart just stopped ticking.  After that I sled into a deep depression which I was brought out of only by the good efforts of my good friend, Maximilian (we all called him Max back then).  We did fairly ordinary things, hunted like I used to with my cousin, played risk, threw some mild parties, nothing too special, but plenty of fun.  We didn't really pay much attention to world events or any of that, the Genementers, politics, any of that.
   Well, that sure backfired.  Max and I were probably the last people to figure out that the world was falling apart around us.  We'd gone on a good long hunting trip, I even shot a deer, good solid buck.  We were coming home in his pickup when we were mobbed.  We didn't know they were the undead, we just thought they were rioting or something, so we didn't kill any, just got them in the gut or the arm or whatever.  I don't know how we got out of that one, but we did.  We kept driving.  We got to a gas station in the middle of the boonies and got filled in on the details, we still didn't know that everything had gone to pot.
   The gas station owner got really freaked out that we hadn't killed the mob and just came to the station, thought that we'd be mobbed.  He was right.  He called some of his relatives down and we made a stand, we must have killed a solid fifteen of them, but a stray bulled blew the whole place to kingdom come.  Both Max and I were injured pretty bad, and it was slow going back to our hunting cabin where we spent the fall.
Then one day, Max gets restless.  He'd been cooped up all fall with nothing but some books to keep him entertained.  he kept going on about how he needed to go out there and kill whatever it was there was.  I agreed, I needed to follow him.  We went out, and not ten miles off we were mobbed.  It was horrible.  When we got back it was clear that Max was a goner.  He said to me, "Remember me for what I tried to be, not for what I became."  Then he ran out into the woods.  When I found him there were tracks, a zombie got him.  On that day I swore eternal vengeance and to this day search out that zombie.
   My search for vengeance has led me to Greenwood where I am looking for the zombie.  If and when i should find and kill it, my hope is to live in relative comfort, maybe shack up in a cabin with a good book, kill undead intruders, and just live the post-apocalyptic good life.
What faction do you hope to join?  Republic

[Theportalmaster]

You enter the RiverSide camp-site, current base of operations for the Republic. However, you notice a certain message of interest pinned up on the job board..

"As you are mostly well aware, your current leader has neglected you. Our group has gone through countless amounts of positional changes, and has gone through harsh times throughout the past year. Christopher was told by another one of his advisor's to possibly migrate the group. He laughed, and rightfully so. However, he did agree his position of power asked too much of him. He's going to be stepping down from the position of leader and handing it to someone else. We could've picked the next highest rank, though we decided it would be best since our communication with most the group is very indirect, to host a voting instead. No matter your position or rank, you can sign up for voting to rise straight to the top. Note the candidate must have literally no life, lots of spare time and must work well under stressful and dire times. If you see yourself as fit for the position, seek your nearest officer to sign up for the election. -Republic Advisor"

Get ready for voting. See your nearest Republic Officer to sign up as a candidate! Deadline for signing up is the 5th December, 2014.

How come no one has posted campaign posters on the steam page yet??

You're a pose to be sending it to me, really.

Plus, the forest got stolen by the Christmas grinches, so role-play flopped dead. Everything will be fine once we're back online, and we've got a perfect number of candidates.

IC Information

Character Name: Robert Vermillion

Characters age: 27

Gender: Male

Future Ambitions: To make something of his life in this apocalypse. Whether it will be something larger, or just simply helping other survivors in their survival, he doesn't know.

Skills: He is good with close quarters combat, shotguns and melee weapons, to be more specific. He prefers a classic Remington 870, but he hasn't seen one since he lost his dad's in a close encounter with an infected. He is unskilled with long range combat, though, and tries to avoid it.
He's also slightly skilled with people's skills, though it's unknown whether this will help with the many survivors of the Greenwood area, if the rumors of pessimism are true.

Characters Appearance (In-game screenshot or Describe):

Characters biography/back-story (make this 3-4+ paragraphs and relate to the story):
Robert was born in Troy, New York, to his mom Lisa Vermillion, and his dad Andrew Vermillion. He had one sister, Alexandra, older than him by 7 years. He always liked the fact that they were so close to the waterfront of the Hudson River, he absolutely loved water. His childhood and adolescence were pretty uneventful, actually. He and his dad went out hunting quite a bit, his father preferring rifles for shooting deer and he preferring shotguns for shooting birds. There was a nice forest near their sub-rural house (them being at the city limits but not quite out in the country). He and his family were devout Catholics, although after college Robert became part of the Wesleyan denomination.

He went to college at New York University (going to the Silver School of Social Work within the university), getting a major in Social Work. He planned to be a school counselor. However, the constant abuse of Genemeters around him were getting ridiculous. He'd never used one in his life, and he knew they couldn't be good. When November of 2013 ([2012? The backstory is not clear on what year the infection begins]) came, the infections started. He and his parents had decided to pack up in their sedan and head for their only relatives, in Alaska, to try and get contact with them, hoping that they were still alive.

They found that to be false, however. Even after the 2 month journey, in which their dad went missing in Quebec and their mom was kidnapped by Ex-Military in the state of Ohio, Robert and Alexandra found that their cousins were not in their house. They tried their best to find even a hint of where their relatives went. They found nothing after a long time of searching for answers. They hung around Alaska for quite a while and they actually made a few friends, but that didn't last when they all their friends died.

Now, Robert walks into the Camp of Greenwood somberly, hoping to forget all of what happened in what had been his life. He refused to think of what happened to Alexandra and the events previous now, and when she's mentioned it's one of the few times he will become slightly depressed. This place looked hopeful, with all these people here. He hoped they were at least a little sociable, because he really needed to make some friends here in order to create a new life here.

What faction do you hope to join?: He's undecided at the time of writing. He will investigate the factions in the Greenwood area personally to see which is better suited to him.
