The Last of Us: Exodus (Horror Drama) OOC/OPEN

[Corrian]

Hmm, what kind of entertainment jobs would exist for citizens?

I guess singing, instrumental work. It probably wouldn't be super popular, but little small stuff like that would probably happen in a more laid back place like Murrell's Inlet. I can't really think of anything really realistic. I wouldn't imagine there would be plays, or theatrical work, but singers and stuff might be fair game. I would say prostitution, but considering the age of your character, I don't want to throw in any Vladimir Nabokov.

Funny enough, prostitution popped into my head, but was immediately disregarded, not just because she's 16, but because it'd be out of place.

Nonetheless, thanks for the choices. I might go with that honestly. I could see her helping in the other territories as well, but her picking up an acoustic guitar or something sound interesting.

One character down, another to go (Which is mostly done, but yeah)

Name: Vivian Iverson
Age: 16
Faction: Civilian
Sex: Female
Appearance:

Equipment/Personal Belongings:1.Backpack, which she hoards some supplies in that she presumably hid somewhere in case some of it was confiscated (even though most of it she got on her own accord through, say, her "job"). It almost seemed like she held onto it in expectation that all good things must come to an end, and that she might need it to quickly grab a bunch of stuff, because that's why she held onto it.
2.Pocket knife she, uh...let's say, "took" at one point.
3.A tiny bit of medical stuff that she happened to get from someone who seemed rather fascinated by her music playing, and wanted to give her something special for her talent. She wasn't one to object.
4.Guitar, but very doubtful this manages to make it with her anywhere.
5.Some music sheets she either found, or was given, for lyrics or guitar playing themselves.
6.Clothes she owns are simply what's on her back, presumably what she wears in the appearance pictures. Though guessing probably going to get run down very quickly, if not already.
7.A bit of alcohol, oddly enough.
8.Some random strips of cloth.

Lots of other stuff she'd like to add to her collection, but was never able to get a hold of, due to being restricted to the QZ.

Personality: One of the more notable things people find about her tends to be the fact that she's a rather big smart ass, seeming to sarcastically reply to people on a regular basis if they happen to say something ridiculous that deserves scrutiny. Or just in general. She also tends to crack a lot of jokes, oftentimes in the worst situations, and a lot of the time, they can be rather dark jokes. Doesn't really matter what it is to her. Some of the times, though, her humor seems to be a cover up for an inner sadness, likely about her parents and having been alone for a while now, and maybe a bit of mostly hidden depression somewhere within her. She seems to have a strange personality in general, not just in the sarcastic joking sense. On top of everything, she tends to be rather blunt, too, and honest about the situation that they are in, oftentimes mixed in with her sarcastic, joking nature. If she thinks you're stupid, she might tell you to your face. While all of this may give the impression that she's just a jokester at heart, she's not by any means weak and careless, and in fact, she's rather tough, and seems to be able to mentally cope with doing whatever is necessary pretty quickly, and adapting to the reality of things easily. It wouldn't take her long to be able to realize that the best option in a scenario is to go brutal and to have to kill people, despite having no experience with such things, likely having been mentally prepared for such a thing from her parents. So despite her joking nature, she can be deadly serious if needed, and when she's in this element, she can almost be scary at times. Isn't above occasionally using her appearance to her advantage, if said person finds her attractive. Only to a certain extent, though. If it benefits her and gets her something, well, might as well use it to her advantage.
Bio: Vivian was in the unique scenario of being younger than how long the apocalypse has been going, so she had been born into the apocalyptic world. Her parents had actually met as soldiers, in the apocalypse itself. They had been protecting the Quarantine Zone, and met each other and fell for each other, and eventually, out comes Vivian. For a few years at that point, her mother stayed home to take care of her, but her father never stopped protecting their home. But after a while, her mother went back to it, too, when she was old enough to be taken care of better, or could be watched by others in a reasonable manner, like going to school or something, whatever form of school that they had there.

A few years later, though, both of her parents never came back from an outing, going on a supply run or some such. They had been killed, and now she had been orphaned. She was, understandably, rather upset for a while, but she oddly took it well. She seemed to grasp how reality worked, and accepted that it was probably inevitable that they would die. Everyone would be lucky to live through all of this, and not die at some point, after all. So them dying early wasn't that big of a surprise. But she knew she'd do the best that she could to live for as long as possible, and hopefully, keep their name alive.

Throughout the years since her parents died, she pretty much just stayed at an orphanage of sorts at the place for kids that were found who had presumably lost their parents, getting to know some of them, but never seeming to manage much in the way of friendships with people there. She had pretty much been alone since her parents died, really, beyond the small friendships. She tried to keep herself occupied in whatever way she could, though, but there was only so much you could do. However, she never really got bored, and seemed to manage okay.

She ended up taking on a liking for music, learning to play guitar, and to sing. This is what she ended up taking on as her job here, really, entertaining the people there with her surprisingly good singing voice and surprisingly good guitar playing skills. Sometimes, she got lucky with extra giving donors, and she was never one to deny a gift, because why not? If someone wanted to give you their life savings, who was she to turn it down if it could be beneficial to her? Yes, maybe that meant she was also selfish at times, but other times she could easily make it up by being selfless, and out in the real world, they would find her selfishness be replaced with her likely saving their ass in the future. She was pretty sure that others wanted to do more than simply give her gifts, usually the social rejects who were socially awkward and missing things in their life, so a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice and beautiful guitar playing captivated them in more ways than one.

Oddly, she never apparently got training from her parents, her parents maybe being a bit hopeful in that department that she would never have to worry about it by being the safety of the walls, hoping for her to live as normal of a life as possible inside of a safe zone, but of course, that was too much expectations from them, and the place a few years after that would then get attacked, with her having little means to protect herself.
Strengths: Knows a bit of hand to hand combat just from general knowledge over the years, but nothing major. However, she seems to know how to learn and adapt fast, so she could learn how to properly defend herself pretty quickly. She also seems to be strong minded, as in, she's very tough and seems to be able to be a fighter, once she gets used to such a thing and can adapt to it. Like it will take more to truly knock her down than with others, and she is tough and would fight hard to her death if she had to.
Weaknesses: Sometimes gets a bit overconfident, which in the real world, could be deadly to you. Her overly joking nature could easily make situations worse for her as well, pissing off the wrong person with a not overly well thought out zinger. Her lack of too much combat skill will likely be a hindrance early on.
Living Family Members: None, at least none that she knows of. There might be some very distant cousins somewhere in the world.
Quirks: She seems to have a habit of cracking jokes in possibly the worst situations, as if humor is what she uses to help cope with things when things get rough. A bit of an oddball all around at times. Has a habit of trying everything at least once before complaining about something either way. Yes, that can include smoking, sex, and drugs, but that does not mean she goes out of the way for any of these. Just means she might not turn any of it down if offered. Isn't entirely above theft if need be, despite her personality maybe not giving off much of an indication that she might be a thief.
Likes: Music, singing, guitar, writing lyrics, finding old music, the idea of using a firearm (has used them a bit, but not much), being independent, kicking some ass, ect
Dislikes: Regular infected checks, finding it pointless since she's pretty much never left the walls in her life. A lot of people in general, not being able to ever go out and about in the outside world, having never seen the outside and it kinda bothering her (But not enough to be stupid and sneak out, because she knows it's smart not to), unnecessarily rude people, though she isn't above being rude herself sometimes, cowards, people who whine about everything, people who act overly tough about everything, mandatory gardening duties, ect.
Worst Fears: Getting raped. She doesn't fear death. In fact, she accepts it will be a thing that will happen eventually, if she likes it or not. But being raped? That's a terrifying fear to her, which is understandable, but it may be amplified in unnecessary situations to be scared of it. She generally has a fear of tough life decisions, as well, but that doesn't really count making the hard decisions as, say, for example, a leader, as she's pretty good with that. Or, what should be said, would be good at that, since she hasn't had to make them yet.
Miscellaneous: Despite maybe not giving off the impression of it, she does seem to actually want to someday have a relationship with someone, and not just be alone forever. But almost everything else is a bigger priority first, over settling down with someone.

And the last one.

Name: Isobelle Rothstein Smith
Age: 13
Faction: Civilian
Sex: Female
Appearance:

Equipment/Personal Belongings:1.A hood that she wears a lot, usually as warmth, though oftentimes just because she feels like it (First picture)
2.Likes putting her hair back, so she carries stuff to braid her hair with her a lot, oddly enough.
3.Basic clothes in general underneath her hoodie like thing.
4.Leftover seeds she didn't notice she left in her pockets.
5.Random pretty necklace she was given at some point in time, which she always wears.
6.Book bag
7.Presumably some book inside said book bag.

Honestly, nothing else really...which will be a problem.
Personality: Isobelle is a friendly, and kind young girl, the world not seeming to dampen her personality all that much. She's always interested in helping others out, oftentimes being out there helping people who just came back from hell to cope, trying to comfort them in the best way that she can. She seems mature for her age, knowing well of how to be a sort of psychologist in a sense when it comes to ways to help people deal with some drama in their life or to deal with what they had to do on the other side of the walls. Oftentimes she surprisingly has the answers to whatever it is that is a problem. However, when it comes to her own coping, she doesn't seem to know how to take care of herself very well, when it will come to the real world and such like that. She seems to be strong minded in her own way, but will likely get weighed down with the world more than others, because she won't be able to adapt to it quite as easily. Seems to be clever in her own way as well. Too good of a person for her own good in such a world as this. Seems to get overly attached to people too easily, especially people that she starts to like. She was always attached to her brother, because they've been close for ages, but there are other people she quickly got an attachment towards as well. Doesn't hate easily.
Bio: She was rather fond of family, family being one of the things that was most important to her. So she had always been very close to her parents, and her brother. But whne her brother started to get into some bad habits of stealing and putting himself into danger, she felt saddened by her brothers behavior, and she did her best to try and get him back on the right track, because she didn't want her brother to get hurt, or worse, get himself killed with those boys that he hung out with. Eventually an incident happened that, thankfully, ended that abruptly, though sadly it involved a couple of the boys getting killed. Thankfully, it wasn't her brother. She had known already, her own form of intelligence being able to connect the dots, and just being observant in general, but it was good for it to end. And she did threaten him a bit to stop.

When it didn't come to just being a young girl to the best of her abilities in such a world, presumably going to school and such, she helped with gardening, something that she became rather fond of. She seemed to be a fan of getting down and dirty into the dirt, and had a love for plants and tending to them. And she would admit, a boy that she met while helping in that department did tend to lend to her liking of the job. She had a bit of a crush on him, she had to admit. Well, to herself. She never told her brother, nor anyone else. And especially not Lyle himself. No, that would be extremely embarrassing. But her odd social behaviors tended to come out when she talked to him, so for anyone paying attention, it was kind of obvious. Likely her brother already knew, even if he didn't say anything, because if there was anyone that knew her best, it was her brother, just like she knew her brother.

Eventually, after the above situation, she introduced her brother to the line of work, though he never seemed crazy about it, preferring to do other things. However, he got to know her friend, Lyle, which was nice, and they seemed to get along well. Any time they talked about the Fireflies, she wasn't hugely fond of it, because she always felt they caused more problems than any good, but she just let them talk anyway and tended to plants, trying not to think about it. She did fear that her brother had fantasies of joining said group, though, and if he went into that territory, she would give him a resounding no in protest at the very idea, because that was just going into a different territory that she had just got him out of.

And then everything would begin to go crazy, and that was when reality would strike, and they would all have to figure out how to cope in the new world to all of them that had been sheltered all their lives within the walls of the QZ.
Strengths: Similarly to Lyle, she has a liking for farming, and she's generally rather good at it, this being her own contribution to the QZ, since there's not a lot else she can do at the age of 14. In fact, even if she was older, this is probably still what she would do. Another strength of hers, when she's not struggling with her own coping, like she will likely be doing after things go to hell, is that she can generally be a sort of morale strengthener, her being good with just having a talk with people who are barely mentally coping, and doing what she can to help them function and figure out how to resolve whatever is going on.
Weaknesses: She has no skill at all when it comes to combat, and she's pretty weak in general. She's small, height wise and body strength and size wise, so if it came to fighting, she'd likely get overpowered easily. She's got some strength from farming, but that's not really enough to make her do any better. And she may also be too much of a good person for her own good, which out in the real world, will be a major set back for her, as she won't know how to handle the hard decisions that have to be done in the real world. She's too used to being friendly to people and helping them out, that she'll be too pure and innocent for the real world, so to speak. Yes, reality hits sometimes even in the QZ, but not enough to make her understand entirely.
Living Family Members: Cedric Rothstein Smith (Her brother)
Quirks: Seems to have a thing where, if she knows the answer to someones question, she kinda excitedly blurts it out, ending up coming off as a little awkward in the process. Despite being social, sometimes you wouldn't get the impression that she was exactly an expert at socialization, and she comes off a little awkward quite often, especially depending on who she is around.
Likes: Flowers, gardening, farming in general, working with soil, nature, Lyle T. Sorenson, the feel of a cool breeze, comforting people, talking with people, mandatory gardening duties (Which is kinda redundant for her because she's taken it on officially, so she doesn't really specifically do it once a week), ect
Dislikes: The cruel nature of which the QZ handles things at times, having to do the infection tests all the time, the meaner people here, the people that make too much trouble and take down others with them, terrorists that just make things worse for them all, the executions and beatings when they happened, ect
Worst Fears: Losing her brother...and maybe Lyle T. Sorenson too. Dying, because she's got quite a big fear of death. Getting truly attached to someone then having them taken away from her.
Miscellaneous: Mmmmm...I think that's good.

Y'now, it's funny because we already have a character with the last name Rose. So, I guess I'd change it unless you want to have a connection with Amerigo's character. Regardless, great job on the app. Gonna be great to see her pair up with the trumpet playing veteran. Accepted.

Weaknesses: She has no skill at all when it comes to combat, and she's pretty weak in general.

She's too used to being friendly to people and helping them out, that she'll be too pure and innocent for the real world, so to speak. Yes, reality hits sometimes even in the QZ, but not enough to make her understand entirely.
Living Family Members: Cedric Rothstein Smith (Her brother)
Quirks: Seems to have a thing where, if she knows the answer to someones question, she kinda excitedly blurts it out, ending up coming off as a little awkward in the process. Despite being social, sometimes you wouldn't get the impression that she was exactly an expert at socialization, and she comes off a little awkward quite often, especially depending on who she is around.
Likes: Flowers, gardening, farming in general, working with soil, nature, Lyle T. Sorenson, the feel of a cool breeze, comforting people, talking with people, mandatory gardening duties (Which is kinda redundant for her because she's taken it on officially, so she doesn't really specifically do it once a week), ect
Dislikes: The cruel nature of which the QZ handles things at times, having to do the infection tests all the time, the meaner people here, the people that make too much trouble and take down others with them, terrorists that just make things worse for them all, the executions and beatings when they happened, ect
Worst Fears: Losing her brother...and maybe Lyle T. Sorenson too. Dying, because she's got quite a big fear of death. Getting truly attached to someone then having them taken away from her.
Miscellaneous: Mmmmm...I think that's good.

Another character Accepted. Good job on both apps.

Gonna update the roster soon, also gonna put in no more characters younger than 21, I think we've hit our limit for now.

For those wondering what to post, I'll just suggest to talk to each other. Won't really be a LOT of danger in the hospital except for those in the courtyard. So, just take some downtime and talk to each other a little bit, grab some supplies and all that. Meet each other, think about what you would talk about. Even small talk works. I can't really advance the story anyways until everyone has finished up their scavenging work and made it to the cafeteria.

Might apply soon, depending on how busy I am with the 2 slow RPs I'm hosting and school.

[Corrian]

Oh, woops. I just thought Vivian Rose sounded cool together so I went for that. I'll try to find something else.

tag, keep a spot for me

Going hiking today since it became nicer than expected, so I'll post when I'm home.

Figuring out what to write for David is hard.

Yeah, it's great to see the Fall months finally getting here. I'll probably go bike riding or something today.

I'm kind of drawing a blank for him too. Mason saved him, right? Maybe he could be trying to help him out, or such. You could have him look over the stuff in Materials Management, have some remembrance of his past or something. Not like a flashback, but more of a callback. Also, with Fritz checking out the medical files, David's stuff is likely in there which could lead to confrontation.

Hey Futrellia, Galdius, and Vekta. Would you guys be up for helping to make a collaborative post for the beginning of Act I? It'd be kind of spoilery for the goal in Chapter 1 of Act I, obviously, and would also spoil a kind of obvious thing happening in the prologue.

I don't really mind spoilers in terms of RPing. So I'm happy to do so.

Sure, I'm down too - just let me know what's needed.

Posting later.

Before I get any further, since I haven't really had the chance to interact with any other characters yet - anyone interested in knowing Fritz from before this little disaster, given we've all been here most if not our entire lives, it would make sense for some of us to have ties and at the very least to have seen one another.

I could if you want to. my guys been in the military for like two decades he probably knows alot of people

[Ormata]

Ehhh...

I doubt Vedenin knows him. I mean...yeah. Unless Fritz worked as a birder guard, which is doubtful, I don't think either of my people would know him.

[The V O I D]

David post taking longer than expected because I am struggling with dialogue and action...

Ugh.

[Krytonus]

I've had an insane few days, sorry all. What did I miss?

Hunters happened. We got separated, attacked we met up again now we are separating again. one group looking for materials, one of weapons, one for food and medicine.

Nick got cut by an axe on his hip, only a little graze though. The characters left the town hall and moved to the hospital, your characters were ordered to go to the cafeteria of the hospital, where all of the important medical stuff is, to patch yourselves up along with Brandon, Anna, Francis, and Connifer. I've got a picture of the layout of the hospital in my last post, but the door that leads to the kitchen from the cafeteria is entirely blocked off. You are told specifically not to open it by SSgt. Porter.
