Bio: Born in Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, at 12:24PM, on April 27th, 1985, to Jane and Carl Adams. Growing up, Elizabeth was the middle-child of three. Growing up, she was an overachiever. Did well in school, sports, competition, maintained a healthy social life. Always leading and or carrying the team. Life always seemed to go in her favour. A dedicated student, she pursued tertiary education.

After graduating from the University of Chicago with a BA in business, and logistics, she found herself in a boring, and not incredibly fulfilling nine-to-fiver. Focusing down on her career, she didn't pursue any relationships outside of friendship. Outside of rising the corporate ladder, and becoming the unofficial/official representative of the company, nothing too interesting could be said of her life.

That said when the infection hit, her life went spiralling out of control. No longer calm and easy city living, she is now completely out of her element. Unsure of what to do, she roams the city in search of her siblings (parents having passed away several years earlier), and the safety of the government/military.

Bio: Born on July 3rd, 1983 in Omaha, Nebraska to Miriam Lowes, and Robert Brass. Fascinated by detective work as a child, he’d always wanted to be an officer of the law. From his childhood he had a drive to do well. After high school, he applied for the Police Academy.

After graduating from the Nebraska Law Enforcement Training Center, he found that while he wasn’t the most qualified for detective work, he was proficient with weapons.

Working several years on the beat, and several more on the Emergency Response Unit (SWAT), totalling in at 11 years of service, Connor found that he was yearning for action, adventure, and to be honest himself, money.

Being a cop paid the bills, but he wanted a little something...more. New city, new life, he acquired a new job with a security firm. He didn’t quite get the adventure he’d hoped for, but it definitely paid better. Three years later, enter the outbreak.

Despite the best efforts of CPD, and the National Guard, the federal government thought it be best to have eligible security firms back up police officers and Guard units to help in the Quarantine. While it may seem unconventional, and odd, desperate times call for desperate measures. They'd act like an immediate extension to whatever unit they were assigned to, taking orders just like any other officer/guardsmen would. Connor's unit was one of the few contractor units actually deployed in the CQZ (Chicago Quarantine Zone), he'd see intense clashes between rioters and infected against the Guardsmen and Riot Police, sometimes both at the same time. When the quarantine finally failed on Day 21, the Riot Guard would face an immense clash between them and infected persons, ending with a rather disturbing body count. Connor got out unscathed, but his fellow riot guard were not so lucky as many perished either during the intense fighting, succumbed to the infection, or simply disappeared. With no standing orders, and no link to any sort of higher-up, Connor's main priority is to stay alive, and regroup with other survivors.

Food for thought?

[True Refuge]

Got my intro post done, so does anyone want to interact around the University Village area?

[Imperial Idaho]

Maybe, Sullivan is around the Fire department right now, unlikely to change direction unless Wallenburg or you initiate an interaction.

[Parcia]

Any one want to hook up with Red as she makes her way to the checkpoint?

[Wallenburg]

Got my intro post done, so does anyone want to interact around the University Village area?

I was considering how close the station is to the university, and would like your input on how you think the students might interact with the fire station group. That will help me to decide how my next post works. If the students have had problems with Hugh's group, he would probably try to avoid them. Otherwise, the truck might just drive straight down the University roads to save time.

[Parcia]

Was about to ask if there was any one near the fire station that wanted to link up.

EDIT: posting my copy of the map I use for planning, your more then welcome to add to it if you wish to coordinate, but no trolling.

Decreased my ammo count to 35.

Any good place to start ?

Oh Goodness this is really moving fast. Doesn't help that you all seem to be Americans... Time is annoying.

[Helsary]

Edited my last post. Johnny used the extinguisher to clear a path to the window, then smashed said window with the extinguisher and jumped out. R.V. is beyond hope, though.

Edit: And sorry for the inconvenience of the original post. I wrongly assumed the fire extinguisher would be a large one, but later did some research after Anowa pointed it out and found out he was right: Most R.V. fire extinguishers are quite small and designed for light-medium kitchen/appliance fires.

Thinking of joining. And you said be original, so get ready for one crazy app (not too crazy though)

Name: Augustine dé Andrade y Aramburu
Nationality: Mexican
Ethnicity: Hispanic
Age/DOB: 22/ February, 21, 1990
Pic/Description: He is a white, tall, slender young man with a round jaw line, medium length straight, black, hair and dark brown eyes

Occupation: Author and speaker of the National Synarchist Union of Mexico
Immunity: Immune

Equipment: Cavalry sword (family heirloom)
1x Pistol with 23 rounds
1x flashlight
1x chocolate bar
2x bags of jerky
1x book of political science

Skills: good aim with pistol, very smart, good in hand to hand (not martial arts master), wise, logic

Weakness: emotions (especially rage and hatred) get out of hand and sometimes blurs judgment, some topics easily irritate him, is untrustworthy of certain people or kinds of people, stubborn

Personality: Augustine is a very passionate young man and is very connected to his emotions. He is a deep thinker political, theorist, and gifted orator. He is a firm believer of ultra nationalism and racial superiority. His racial sense of superiority and utter hatred for Americans and their country, not to mention stubbornness, makes him very difficult to work with.

Likes: His "Fatherland" , family, fellow Mexicans, reading, politics, ideology, philosophy, writing, and both conservative and left wing ideals.

Dislikes: Liberalism, Democracy, Homosexuals, Americans, Jews, Gypsies, Feminists, and traitors
Fears:
Slight Paranoia
Xenophobia

Bio: Augustine was born in Mexico city and lived there for nearly six years and a half before his family was forced to move to the United states to find work and was then admitted into school almost as soon as he had moved into the new country. During his schooling, Augustine would excel in the studies of reading, writing, social studies, and science. He would ask many questions in class to gain further understanding of the subject in question. When it to history, however, Augustine would feel unsatisfied with the answers his teachers would provide him and considered them to be vague. He would study extensively on his own to truly understand history. Unfortunately, with his newfound knowledge of literature, ideology, and history Augustine grew bitter and with hatred for the American people. In his later life Augustine was admitted into a prestigious private high school and took up fencing lessons. When he was 17 he had learned of the National Synarchist Union of Mexico which he had decided to join for its nationalist ideals. One year later, he had become an Author writing books detailing his belief of Mexican racial superiority and national pride. In one of his books he described his vision for the future Mexican nation in which he explains a future in which "The fatherland is restored to its former pride, honor, and prestige of which is unseen in today's modern and disgraceful age. It shall be a world in which the Mexican people will restore their pride and assert their rightful place as the superior race." He was also the lead speaker of his newfound political party and with him as the speaker the party's popularity grew dramatically. When the infection began to spread he had begun planning a trip back to Mexico with a speech ready to be given in Mexico city. On the day of his trip he was unable to travel anywhere (first due to delays and later because of the ban to international travel). When the worst had come he had lost complete track of his family and bunkered himself into his home. His discovering of his immunity to the infection only strengthened his nationalist ego. When supplies ran out and the riots began he left his home and again went into hiding.

Well, here you go. I bumped up the age a little as was requested by the OP. Also, the Synarchist Union is a real political party in Mexico.

Majority of the current people are in the southern areas of Chicago. A few, including mine, are in the North.

The main problem with this app is just saying "pistol" is overly vague, you should specify a specific model, or at least caliber. In addition to that, having logic and wisdom as skills and having him be a racist doesn't make much sense, and Hispanic isn't an ethnicity (there are white, black, mestizo, and amerindian hispanics).
