He is more of an armchair general, working in the IT Department of a large corporation. But he has always been a weekend warrior, spending time in the great outdoors to get away from city life. His #1 Hobby though is playing Airsoft. He has the gear (albeit mostly cheap chinese knockoffs, no actual plate in the plate carrier) and has learned military tactics through training with a 'squad', many of whom were active or former military themselves. They got him into shooting real-steel and convinced him to buy his first AR. He has since upgraded from a mostly-plastic airsoft rifle to a full-metal one, in order to get used to feeling the real weight of a gun. </div></div><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Alyx Bellamy</div><div class="spoiler_body">Player name: Hellion<br>Character name: Alyx Bellamy<br>Age: 25<br>Nationality: United States<br>Area of Expertise: General Practice Physician, Triage, Field Medic, and Herbalist.<br><br>Quote: “The best medic is the one you run to and can't find.”<br><br>Personality Traits: Introverted | Focused | Caring<br><br>Description: Standing at just under five feet, Alyx doesn’t mind the fact that her smaller, petite stature keeps her hidden in plain sight which compliments her introverted nature.

				So you guys so far all opted for some woodlands.... Since my knowledge on US forests is limited to the Blue Ridge Mountains and I know that Washington and Idaho have lots of forests... is that something you were thinking about?

				It could just be some generic small town in a hilly/wooded area. Blue Ridge Mtns would certainly work for that setting, with some more remote locations possible.

				Oh I gotcha! Well, in that case, she could have already been up in the area after the breakout. Maybe like in Charlotte NC, for instance. Perhaps she was in a hospital at the time there. I can easily change it up to fit the story. It's not a problem :)

				This week. <br><br>I was thinking our characters are at the airport or something. Probably in Atlanta. The reason why is up to you. By some stroke of coincidence, we're all at the car park at the same time. MC just got in her truck when people start to behave off and awkward. Alyx and Peter are nearby and either MC tells them to get into her car or they get in without even asking. <br><br>That's probably the opening post, if you're okay with that. <br><br>Then comes the issues of whether or not the others are infected, what the hell happened and what to do next. Then we'll go to the BRM and try to sit out the onslaught and the aftermath. How's that sound?

				I think that's a great start! Maybe either we've just come back from a flight, or dropped off someone at the airport before returning to the car, etc. I mean, it's not really coincidence since we're all random people who could easily be in the parking lot at the same time. it just happens to be our characters XD<br>

Gifted by nature with both with the looks and the brain, the girl was growing up in a strict family, and had no problem breezing through the school with ease, albeit not without trouble - it simply eventually got boring to study the things you know for a long time, while the others see them for the first time. And it was quite a big surprise even for her when she suddenly ended up with the Physical Department of the local university while everyone presumed she'd be enrolling on the lingustic studies, because foreign languages was her talent.<br><br><br>Ten years after getting her Masters in Optical Science, Kate has a solid and deep grasp of the physics, mathematics and programming in general, and Laser Science in particular, having gotten PhD in it. She may not be one of the leading specialists in the field, or even known widely among the reserachers within her interest, but the woman surely can do two things well - teach and adapt. Her linguistic aptitude dropped quite a few barriers as well, and she had no trouble in travelling all over the world, presenting the research of her group at the various conferences. When the world ended, she was on her way back home from one of them, but got stranded in Atlanta instead.<br><br><br>Kate is not shy of getting her hands dirty, if necessary, and knows a bit of this and a bit of that in agriculture, purely from growing up in a household with a plot of land to it, for example, and she has basic engineering skills from the same source. However, she's a bit of Wreck it Ralph - the girl <em>knows</em> why the light bends, or what effect creates electricity and how to build a generator using it, but it'd be better to leave the actual assembly to someone else.

				Exactly my point - maybe the deep knowledge like that ain't very useful until they run into a laser cutter, but knowing how to turn two wood nails and a bit of a wire into a gizmo to boil some water in a jar, or being able to calculate the actual mass of the firewood they need to stockpile for winter - now that's a handy skill, don't you think? ;)

				Loving the posts so far :) <br><br>I guess we'd all have to figure out why each of us would be riding in the same car all of a sudden. Also, I assume we would want to check out our own homes, for those who live in Atlanta anyway.

				Would not the basic herd instinct be enough? I mean, the people who seemingly ain't doing nothing loco among all the chaos undivided... Well, they'd naturally try to stick together, no?<br><br>And yeah, posts are great. I was too tired last night to produce anything coherent, but I did not want the others waiting, so I whipped a basic one up.<br><br>And I concur - check my home out would be the first thing I would do in the situation, especially since I know where I keep stocks of food, medicine and fuel lol

				Sorry for double post: Can we get some clarification on the virus too?<br><br>From the game description, I was expecting us to be ~a week~ into the end of the world, shit gone to hell, survivors starting to come together.<br>I thought the virus was more akin to the 'The Strand' as opposed to 'The Happening' (which makes people suicidal/homicidal).

				BRM = Blue Ridge Mountains... where our characters are going to set up their survival camp.<br><br>Atlanta is merely the starting point or meeting point.<br><br><br>The virus is happening quickly. Within a week everybody infected and a lot of others are dead. But our characters have no idea what's happening. In the end, it's not overly relevant except that within a week orso everything is gone and those left, are not infected. It lingered in people for a couple of days and then set off. But the mortality rate is higher than the infection rate so after about 3/4 of the world population is dead within a week, everything is fine after that... virus wise.

				I say we shake the game down a little as we go, and when it's clear what lore works the best, we could alter the introduction and advert as needed, no?<br><br>Also, if it makes more sense, we can indeed pick the other characters along the way, if it's going to make more sense. I doubt the airport is a really frequented location by the casual strollers and the passerbys :P
