I'll maybe go for it. Gonna try out a young schizophrenic who's running low on medication.

[Reverend Norv]

What an absolute throwback. I'll think about it.

Bio: Suzanne Browning grew up in Western Nevada in the town of Hawthorne. Being the home of the Hawthorne Ordnance Museum, she had a lot of exposure to the military when she was growing up. A true tomboy by the time she had reached age 13; Suzanne was heading into a life of leaning about military history. Having picked up on the late 90's and early 2000's WW2 craze, she engrossed herself in all forms of media about the conflict. She learned as much as she could and even asked older family members about their experiences. Many of them were glossed over in her presence, but she wouldn't stay satisfied.

As she grew up, so did the world around her. And soon enough she was old enough to see the real stories of the brutality of war. She began doing research and meeting people and eventually got into reenacting. Though she could never participate in the events, she enjoyed collecting the gear and wearing it around. She got into restoration work for firearms after high school and apprenticed under some old Vietnam vets for cash under the table. One of her proudest days was when she used everything she learned to fully restore her very own M1 rifle. She talked about it and had grown into collecting an assortment of guns to go with it. Soon enough she had her own collection and was a fully-fledged member of the shop. She set off for Los Angeles to do a range day with friends she met online one day, and was excited to maybe do a video or photo shoot of herself in all her paratrooper gear.

Very nice. Welcome.

[The Felan Federation]

Anyone wanna collab?

Cool.

Since you are a criminal, you sell firearms, yes?

[The Hoosier Alliance]

Sure do. Your basic civilian shit, Fritz don’t mess with anything too extreme lol. You wanna do it over TGs or Discord or something?

Collabing usually means you two go back and forth but it all ends up in one post from one of you. It’s a good way to do quick conversation pieces without having to worry about posting one-liners.

[The Hoosier Alliance]

I think we can just it be - that my char is gonna interact with yours in the next reply? That cool?

Monfrox is right, that’s what a collab would be. If we work together for one post (or half and half it) we can have a better interaction and conversation so it won’t be too short. If you don’t want to, that’s fine, I’m still down.

[Convallaria]

I’ve been afk for most of today, but I’ll get a post in within a few hours. Day three should be coming up shortly after, but I’ll give it until tomorrow in case we want to fit a few more posts in.

[Sraelyn]

Suzanne Browning

Glad to see ya Mon

Anyone wanna collab?

I'm down as well, although not too sure why would anyone go to a bookstore mid-epidemic.

[Monfrox]

I work the weekends so I should have a post up soon as I find time.

Alright. I think a collab would work better then.

I’ve been afk for most of today, but I’ll get a post in within a few hours. Day three should be coming up shortly after, but I’ll give it until tomorrow in case we want to fit a few more posts in.

I think we can wait then until you post Day 3.

[The Hoosier Alliance]

Alright. I think a collab would work better then.

Sounds good. TG me whenever you wanna get started.

[Convallaria]

Day three is posted. I referenced the highway gridlock event that is canon in the series, so it's up to you whether your characters end up seeing the news report of the 'man being shot on the highway' or not. Also, the riot will be happening at the end of Day three, so you may want to decide how your characters will be involved, since it's how I plan most characters will meet.

Can’t wait for some good ‘ole fashion looting!

Samantha “Sam” Wickham

Age: 21
Sex: Female
Height: 5’9 ft. (175.26 cm.)
Weight: 124 lbs. (56.25 kg.)
Skills: Dextrous, perceptive, well off artistically, softball athlete
Weaknesses: Schizophrenic, paranoid, socially inadequate, weak, recurring nightmares/sleep paralysis

Personality: Erratic, prone to panic, and mentally unstable, Sam regularly takes pills to prevent auditory and visual hallucinations from overtaking her. Her worldview is strange and disjointed, an obsessive paranoia and emotional attachment being her mainstays amongst the living. She suffers from severe delusions as well, believing and trusting the numerous conspiracy theories that frequent the Internet. While her medicine, Thorazine, mostly keeps her in check, it’s only a dampener; and it’s running out.

Occupation: Student - University of California, Los Angeles/Movie Theater Attendant
Equipment:

• Backpack
• Laptop
• Sketchbook w/ pencils
• Pencil sharpener
• Mobile phone
• Phone charger
• Earbuds
• Watch (alarm set for Thorazine dosage)
• School supplies

Bio: Samantha Wickham was born in Northern California to a pair of well-off parents and two siblings. One older brother and one younger, she was mostly friends were her cousin in her early, formative years. Life went well for a long time, but she had always been strange and obsessive over very specific things. She was morbid, curious, and artistic in all regards, similar to her actor of an older brother Wickham and her poet of a younger brother Derek. She never published her artwork, preferring to keep it to herself and maybe one of the two brothers. Overtime, the artwork grew more grotesque, more surreal, more unnatural in appearance.

She went to college in Los Angeles, majoring in journalism to become a freelance reporter, all but a pipe dream. Sam was working at a local movie theater when, at the age of nineteen, her schizophrenia emerged. A rare case, emerging mostly in women in their late 20s. The doctor went over the facts, citing her father’s old age and her mother’s infection during childbirth as the likely causes of this infection. Sam was heartbroken at first, but wasn’t swayed by her parents asking her to come back home. She made the decision to stay at school and work, sticking with it for the last two years. Her prescription has kept her up, but her sanity is being chipped at. Her friends disappeared slowly and soon she had isolated herself with conspiracies and minor delusions. Life only sought to grow worse.

Hiroshi Murata

Age: 26
Sex: Male
Height: 1,76 metres
Weight: 75 kilograms
Skills: Basic mechanical knowledge, extensive chemical skills, basic marksmanship
Weaknesses: Murata has recently contracted a smoking habit. It isn't much: two or three cigarettes a day, but it still is annoying and unhealthy. Murata also suffers from farsightedness, forcing him to wear reading glasses.
Personality: As is typical among Japanese, Murata is terribly polite, reserved and patient, if somewhat arrogant. Nevertheless, he tends to loosen up among close friends, presenting them a warmer side who disregards social conventions.
Occupation: Hardware store owner, amateur stock trader
Equipment:

Argentine Naval FN-49 with shoulder strap & bayonet
5 magazines & 6 charger clips with 7.62×51 ammunition
Aluminium bicycle
Cigarette case
Heirloom pocket watch
Milspec earbuds
Olive green duffel bag
Pocket torch
Refillable lighter
Smartphone
Thermos bottle with matcha

Bio:
In the early the 1930s, Hideo Murata – a Japanese ex-cavalryman – arrived with his wife and sons, fleeing a war in which he didn't wish to partake. Hideo set up a hardware store in suburban Los Angeles, gaining reputation as a polite, serious minded man who liked chess and drink. When Hideo grew old, he naturally passed the store to his eldest son, Takahashi, who married and had three sons. He came to be known as a polite, serious minded man who liked chess and drink.
A few generations later, Hiroshi Murata, great grandson of the ex-cavalryman, was born in the year of 1996. Like his father and his grandfather before him, he was a polite, serious minded man who appreciated chess along with, as he would later find out, drink. He was raised under that same roof, in the comfortably small world between the store and their house. His brothers, all older than him, went away one by one seeking work as doctors and engineers, while Hiroshi struggled to make a decision. He finally chose a Chemical Engineering bachelor's, which he completed with satisfactory grades. Nevertheless, the old family trade pulled him in by his heartstrings, and he took the helm of the store from his eldest brother, who was busy with matters of greater importance.
As has always been, and shall always be, a Murata now sits behind the counter of his old shop, playing chess with his employees and occasionally taking a sip of sake.

Can you be a cop as your occupation? I'm asking this because I was thinking make my character a former Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputy and he/she as former member of LA County SWAT team so he/she will be heavily armed and have body armor.

Sure, law enforcement could be interesting, within reason of course.
