First issue is that his bio is much too brief. Second issue is that he's deserted, and supposedly wandering post-apocalyptic America, despite the fact that I've made it quite clear that the RP starts in a State Sanctioned Evac Zone. Thirdly, he's over encumbered. His total cerry weight to fulfill his role with the current gear is 34.95kg. Unless he's using 30 round mags instead of 150 rounders, in which case he'll be at 25.62kg and it's a non-issue.

For the moment this app is denied.

Name: James Lake
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Description: About 6'3", with a heavy-set build probably around 200lbs (90.7kg). Fairly evident that he used to be overweight. Hands have a large variety of small scars.
Occupation: Student of Physics (Graduate Program - California Institute of Technology), California Air National Guard (Reserve Duty - Second LT), Gas Station Attendant.
Carry Weight: 40 Kilos and he can carry that for a while before tiring out, though he never goes above 20 if he can help it, every 1% of your body weight in your pack makes you 6 seconds slower per mile and can wreak havoc on your running speed and distance.
Strengths:
Intelligence - The kid's booksmart and can talk your ear off about nearly any subject. Is this going to be overly useful in a survival situation? Not too much, but it does have its applications.
Discipline - Will do what he's told and he'll do it efficiently how you tell him to do it. He's fairly reserved and doesn't get 'rowdy'.
Survival Training - Has basic knowledge of shelter building, fire making, and other survival tools. Can hunt small game with relative ease and knows native edible plants in his homeland.
Big guy - He's pretty big. Can carry a lot of stuff if need be.
Weaknesses:
Yes-man - Will not speak out against others, even when he thinks what's happening is a bad idea or he disagrees with their choices. Tends to do what he's told because he doesn't want anyone to dislike him.
Inexperienced - Despite being trained in the military, he doesn't have any experience in combat, and has never really had to use his survival knowledge.
Out of Shape - Was not the most fit guy before the outbreak, just needed to be good enough to pass PT tests. The past few months have improved his fitness level, but he is not a star athlete, and may never be.

Biography:Grew up in a rural Kentucky town, a time he remembers very fondly. Both of his parents were in the National Guard, though his father was a computer programmer and his mother a stay at home mom. James was a brilliant young kid, impressing his teachers and subsequently being teased by his peers. He didn't mind too much at first, he liked being smart. This intelligence wasn't limited to any particular field, and James quickly picked up many new hobbies and interests. He joined the boy scouts, participated in theater, took online classes, and many other things in his spare time. He worked hard throughout high school but his grades suffered slightly when he found out that his father would be deployed to the Middle East. His father eventually returned, having suffered nothing more than a few scratches during his deployment, and James had graduated with very good (though not the highest) grades and amazing test scores.

James applied to CIT, which was a dream university of his, but was denied. He instead attended a college in Idaho, joining the Air National Guard to help pay for his tuition, and eventually graduated with a Bachelor's degree in physics and a 4.0 GPA. This, and some personal interviews with CIT professors, finally got him into the university of his dreams. After one year of work he visited his parents in Kentucky, shortly before the virus swept across the United States. James doesn't like to remember how everything happened, it was bloody, and violent, and traumatic (and too lengthy to write here, perhaps in a flashback). Needless to say, he was the only one to walk away from his hometown, a rifle on his shoulder, and terror in his eyes. He assumed that his unit had been deployed out in the West, but being out of communication posed several problems.

He was quickly picked up by a group of refugees and soldiers on their way to New York, and he stuck with them the whole way. Now he's joining a group of survivors heading to safe havens there, where he hopes to rejoin his comrades and do some good against this outbreak.

Biography:

Born in Seoul, Kim's childhood was not the easy one. His father left him and his siblings and mother when he was 3, cited affairs with his mother's friend as the reason why. Also at this point Kim's asthma began developed, though it was at the most dangerous level when he was a child. The fact that life was such a hard thing back then didn't help his medication and illness well, though it was the worst thing that happened to him. Growing up well, he looked for a job as delivery man, part-timing while in a college.

Soon after he was graduated from the college, he took examination of military service. Found that his asthma is a problematic issue, he was issued Grade 4 (unable to enter because physical or mental health) and therefore he began to worked at public institutions for 36 months as the alternative means of conscription. In those time, having spent a healthy life, he began to trained himself in Taekwondo as a means to keep himself physically healthy. His asthma had begun to turned down lower and his health turned better. After 36 months, he signed in on a civil examination and found his work at South Korea's embassy to USA. In this time, he met his first girlfriend, and they began dating. However, she manipulated him into thinking that she was trusted, though it was revealed she had a relationship with someone else. A fighting ensued, and he sped up the move of him to America.

For the next 5 years, he went back and to USA - SK, in time developing a taste for American spaghetti, in particular the instant spaghetti of Chef Boyardee. At the same time he also began to trained himself much more in martial arts, now that those kinds of American-made martial arts appeared, including a particular style of kickboxing of theirs. When the outbreak first started in Africa, almost all nations didn't really paid attentions though they watched closely, including South Korea. At that time, he was on his way back to Washington DC. But soon enough, the disease ravaged the entire world, and he was on his way to the airport when it was announced that there were no more flying in and out. Him, with many other staffs still in US, were left without means of exit. He took the idea of Walking Dead and Train to Busan as the general idea of what to do in the midst of outbreak and took all things for him to be considered and left to New York.

Biography: Born to a South Vietnamese Air Force pilot who escaped to the United States in 1978, Jack Nguyen is the third of seven children. He was born in June 1985. His father told Jack of his stories of flying A-37 Dragonfly attack jets and later, F-5E Tiger II light fighters. This got young Jack hooked into aviation. When he entered middle school, he discovered the Civil Air Patrol when it set up a STEM program at his school. This got him into the Civil Air Patrol squadron as a cadet at Edwards AFB. His successful CAP cadet career ended in 2004 when he left for San Jose State University, its AFROTC detachment, and the aviation program there. At San Jose, he met his future wife. After graduating with a degree in aviation, Jack was assigned to the 43rd FTS at Columbus AFB, Mississippi flying T-37B Tweet trainers and then T-38C Talon advanced jet trainers. He earned his pilot wings in 2008 and was assigned home to Edwards AFB flying F-16s with the 416th Flight Test Squadron. He married his girlfriend in later that year.

In 2009, Nguyen deployed to Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar for his first six-month deployment. Though he found his deployment most unusual because of his assignment, he nevertheless carried it out dutifully. When he returned in 2010, he found that his father was suffering from cancer. Jack suspected Agent Orange exposure. Though his father was given the best treatment available, he sadly passed away in 2011. Later that year, Jack and his wife conceived a healthy son, and Jack did everything he could to stay stateside. Unfortunately, with the fight against ISIS in 2015, Jack was once more deployed, this time to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

While returning to base in his F-16C on a routine close air support mission, Jack received a distress call from an Afghan National Army Commando unit that was ambushed by the Taliban rescuing a shot-down Afghan Air Force Mi-17 transport helicopter. Though he was aware that he had no weapons left to engage the Taliban with, he nevertheless flew off to help provide cover after tanking up. As the first wave of Taliban encroached on the downed helicopter and ANA commandos, Jack flew his F-16 in low at approximately 500 knots 200 feet off the deck, afterburners in kick. A nearby MQ-9 reported that some of the insurgents were retreating.

However, they were wrong; the Taliban merely regrouped and began making a second attack, this time with heavier weapons like mortars and heavy machine guns. Jack looped around and made a second pass, attracting small-arms fire below. This time, the Taliban understood that Jack had no weapons left and began engaging him instead of the ANA Commandos. At least five 12.7mm antiaircraft rounds hit his wing, but that did not deter him from drawing attention away from the commandos. Once more, Jack made a third pass, this time at 300 knots.

He also had lethal intentions this time; approximately half a mile away from the Taliban, he fired a burst from his F-16C's M-61A1 20mm Vulcan cannon. The targeting pod mounted on the centerline of his bird confirmed two technicals destroyed and one mortar team killed.

Despite leaking fuel, Jack stuck around until US Army helicopters arrived under the cover of an AC-130U Spooky II fixed-wing gunship and two AH-64D Apache helicopter gunships.

When the last helicopters left the site, Jack observed the AC-130 destroy the remains of the Mi-17 with its howitzer before departing and escorting the AC-130 away. Jack's fuel load reached critical on final approach towards Bagram; in fact, his engine flamed out just 20 feet above the runway. He skillfully landed his glider of an F-16 onto the runway before being pulled into one of the hangars.

For his selfless act of drawing the Taliban's attention away from the downed helicopter and then covering US aerial elements, Jack was awarded the Air Medal; the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Secretary of the Air Force overruled it, however, and upgraded it to the Distinguished Flying Cross. The Secretary of Defense was dissatisfied with Jack's award and upgraded it yet again to the Air Force Cross, the second-highest award in the Air Force.

When the outbreak occurred, Jack was temporarily reassigned towards the New York Air National Guard, flying observation missions from Rochester to find potential sites to expand to. Sadly, his wife and young son fell victim to the virus, and he went from a cheerful man to a sullen one.

Overview:She grew up in Ohio when the virus first started to appear, as the situation got worse and worse they were moved out of the Cincinnati by US forces, before it was burned to the ground. As they days ticked by they moved closer and closer to new york. They were told there was a safe zone for them, but they were wrong. They were now put in the Rochester Int'l Airport. Her typical life of many people her age was cut short by the short mindedness of many, her future robbed from her now she was stuck in a world that she did not grow up in so vastly different. her father killed near the border of New York, and her mother taken to the hospital room in the airport. her family had fallen apart, her sister who is 32 was still in California when it happened and they have not had contact since, her sister lived in LA as a waitress.

Full Bio:
Born on October 9th in Cincinnati Ohio she lived in the run of the mill nuclear family. Her father was a police officer in the CPD, with her mother who worked online. Her older sister has since moved out and worked in LA as a waitress trying to get famous, she was always the dreamer. Miranda was an introverted person who spend much of her time writing or gaming online. Once a year her family would take trips out to the country for camping in a nearby national park. Days before the virus hit Ohio she and a group of friends left to go camping at Cuyahoga Valley national park. The first few days were the same as all the other times Miranda went with her family, but the only thing different was she was with her friends. After her first three days out in the park, they heard the pops of gunshots, one of their friends who was in the national guard(18, he enlisted early so he is still in Highschool)dismissed them as poachers. By the fifth day helicopters were becoming more and more common. As they were running low on food and beer a few took the car to head back into town. As they came back they told about how they saw a man get eaten by another and the police shooting him time and time again and that he would never die. This prompted them to disregard the rule they made to not go on thier phones. As Miranda turned on her phone she was several miscalls from her father over the course of four days. As she called back he answered in a worried voice and telling them what had happened. As they started packing a car pulled up, one of the National Parks service, the park ranger told them to leave and the park was being shut down. As they got out of the park they made it to the highway where the National Guard was setting up barriers. As they reached a checkpoint, the member of the gorup was in the national guard notified them of who he was and was taken out of the car an they soon passed. As the drove closer to the city the sound of gunshots filled the air. As she arrived to her home she left her friends. For the next months they would stay camped up as the city fell apart around them. The once great city of Cincinnati was hit, the infection spread like wild fire. Over time they along with several other people were forced to the roof looking for rescue. As they tuned into the radio they learned that Cincinnati was one of the worst hit cities in the United States and the government was going to destroy the city to prevent the infection. Over the next few days they worked for rescue and it finally came. As they were taken out of the city by helicopter, and moved western Pennsylvania at Camp Moore, they learned of the fate of the city. The US military had detonated a nuclear device on the city. As the days ticked by they were moved north to Rochester, New York to the International Airport now one of the largest refugee centers on the east coast. Her father was killed by Canadian soldiers after he was caught steeling food, and her mother was ill. As they arrived in Rochester her mother was taken. She was now alone looking for help.

Biography:
Born on November 21, 2002, Elijah grew up with a very unordinary life, being abandoned by his parents and under custody of his grandparents, but aside from that, he had a very normal life up until the virus arrived. When it did, it hit his hometown particularly hard, infecting everyone except him, and was forced to kill the people who he loved greatly when they became bitten, as well as watching his former squad mates being mutilated in the outbreak in his high school, leaving him severely traumatized.

Fighting off infected and running like hell, Elijah was able to reach and further fortify his home, making it near impenetrable, allowing him time not only to cope and figure out what was going on, but to also make some observations about the virus's effects on the infected, and even trying to see if masking his smell with rotting flesh will make the infected leave him alone. It failed, as the stench nearly made him faint, forcing him to run back to his home, attracting more than the amount of infected he wanted to deal with, compromising the shelter's safety. He remained stuck, surviving in the shelter as long as he could, staving off hunger as infected prevented him from leaving, as well as facing sleepless nights, as nightmares of the traumatic events haunted him, causing him to become paranoid. Chipping away at his roof, he accessed the top of his house, with infected covering the streets.

He decided to leave, fashioning a plastic zip line allowing him to hop to and from nearby telephone poles, collecting what he deemed was needed for his survival. Utilizing the survival skills he learned, he was able to escape in a car from the infested town, eventually becoming a lone wanderer, hoping for anyone that he could stand beside that won't end up stabbing him in the back. After several weeks of jumping in between groups of traders, gangs, and others who's sanity could be easily questioned, Elijah ended up in the evac zone in Rouchester, New York, much to his own relief, though unsettled with the thought of an outbreak as strong as the one in his hometown.

Jack suspected Agent Orange exposure. Though his father was given the best treatment available, he sadly passed away in 2011. Later that year, Jack and his wife conceived a healthy son, and Jack did everything he could to stay stateside. Unfortunately, with the fight against ISIS in 2015, Jack was once more deployed, this time to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

While returning to base in his F-16C on a routine close air support mission, Jack received a distress call from an Afghan National Army Commando unit that was ambushed by the Taliban rescuing a shot-down Afghan Air Force Mi-17 transport helicopter. Though he was aware that he had no weapons left to engage the Taliban with, he nevertheless flew off to help provide cover after tanking up. As the first wave of Taliban encroached on the downed helicopter and ANA commandos, Jack flew his F-16 in low at approximately 500 knots 200 feet off the deck, afterburners in kick. A nearby MQ-9 reported that some of the insurgents were retreating.

However, they were wrong; the Taliban merely regrouped and began making a second attack, this time with heavier weapons like mortars and heavy machine guns. Jack looped around and made a second pass, attracting small-arms fire below. This time, the Taliban understood that Jack had no weapons left and began engaging him instead of the ANA Commandos. At least five 12.7mm antiaircraft rounds hit his wing,
but that did not deter him from drawing attention away from the commandos. Once more, Jack made a third pass, this time at 300 knots.
He also had lethal intentions this time; approximately half a mile away from the Taliban, he fired a burst from his F-16C's M-61A1 20mm Vulcan cannon. The targeting pod mounted on the centerline of his bird confirmed two technicals destroyed and one mortar team killed.
Despite leaking fuel, Jack stuck around until US Army helicopters arrived under the cover of an AC-130U Spooky II fixed-wing gunship and two AH-64D Apache helicopter gunships.

When the last helicopters left the site, Jack observed the AC-130 destroy the remains of the Mi-17 with its howitzer before departing and escorting the AC-130 away. Jack's fuel load reached critical on final approach towards Bagram; in fact, his engine flamed out just 20 feet above the runway. He skillfully landed his glider of an F-16 onto the runway before being pulled into one of the hangars.

For his selfless act of drawing the Taliban's attention away from the downed helicopter and then covering US aerial elements, Jack was awarded the Air Medal; the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Secretary of the Air Force overruled it, however, and upgraded it to the Distinguished Flying Cross. The Secretary of Defense was dissatisfied with Jack's award and upgraded it yet again to the Air Force Cross, the second-highest award in the Air Force.

When the outbreak occurred, Jack was temporarily reassigned towards the New York Air National Guard, flying observation missions from Rochester to find potential sites to expand to. Sadly, his wife and young son fell victim to the virus, and he went from a cheerful man to a sullen one.

Overview:She grew up in Ohio when the virus first started to appear, as the situation got worse and worse they were moved out of the Cincinnati by US forces, before it was burned to the ground. As they days ticked by they moved closer and closer to new york. They were told there was a safe zone for them, but they were wrong. They were now put in the Rochester Int'l Airport. Her typical life of many people her age was cut short by the short mindedness of many, her future robbed from her now she was stuck in a world that she did not grow up in so vastly different. her father killed near the border of New York, and her mother taken to the hospital room in the airport. her family had fallen apart, her sister who is 32 was still in California when it happened and they have not had contact since, her sister lived in LA as a waitress. She was all she had left and even then she was gone.

Full Bio:
Born on October 9th in Cincinnati Ohio she lived in the run of the mill nuclear family. Her father was a police officer in the CPD, with her mother who worked online. Her older sister has since moved out and worked in LA as a waitress trying to get famous, she was always the dreamer. Miranda was an introverted person who spend much of her time writing or gaming online. Once a year her family would take trips out to the country for camping in a nearby national park. Days before the virus hit Ohio she and a group of friends left to go camping at Cuyahoga Valley national park. The first few days were the same as all the other times Miranda went with her family, but the only thing different was she was with her friends. After her first three days out in the park, they heard the pops of gunshots, one of their friends who was in the national guard(18, he enlisted early so he is still in Highschool)dismissed them as poachers. By the fifth day helicopters were becoming more and more common. As they were running low on food and beer a few took the car to head back into town. As they came back they told about how they saw a man get eaten by another and the police shooting him time and time again and that he would never die. This prompted them to disregard the rule they made to not go on thier phones. As Miranda turned on her phone she was several miscalls from her father over the course of four days. As she called back he answered in a worried voice and telling them what had happened. As they started packing a car pulled up, one of the National Parks service, the park ranger told them to leave and the park was being shut down. As they got out of the park they made it to the highway where the National Guard was setting up barriers. As they reached a checkpoint, the member of the gorup was in the national guard notified them of who he was and was taken out of the car an they soon passed. As the drove closer to the city the sound of gunshots filled the air. As she arrived to her home she left her friends. For the next months they would stay camped up as the city fell apart around them. The once great city of Cincinnati was hit, the infection spread like wild fire. Over time they along with several other people were forced to the roof looking for rescue. As they tuned into the radio they learned that Cincinnati was one of the worst hit cities in the United States and the government was going to destroy the city to prevent the infection. Over the next few days they worked for rescue and it finally came. As they were taken out of the city by helicopter, and moved western Pennsylvania at Camp Moore, they learned of the fate of the city. The US military had detonated a nuclear device on the city. As the days ticked by they were moved north to Rochester, New York to the International Airport now one of the largest refugee centers on the east coast. Her father was killed by Canadian soldiers after he was caught steeling food, and her mother was ill. As they arrived in Rochester her mother was taken. She was now alone looking for help.

There's multiple issues. 'Overview' is neither needed nor wanted. There's a few grammatical and spelling errors. The nuclear option has yet to be used, if it was it would've been mentioned. The bio could also have been separated into actual paragraphs, and had more substance other than 3 sentences of personal background followed by twenty some odd about the last few IC weeks. Also it's lbs, not ibs. One's a measurement, the other's the acronym for irritable bowel syndrome.

When it did, it hit his hometown particularly hard, infecting everyone except him, and was forced to kill the people who he loved greatly when they became bitten, as well as watching his former squad mates being mutilated in the outbreak in his high school, leaving him severely traumatized. Utilizing the survival skills he learned, he was able to escape in a car from the infested town, eventually becoming a lone wanderer, hoping for anyone that he could stand beside that won't end up stabbing him in the back. After several weeks of jumping in between groups of traders, gangs, and others who's sanity could be easily questioned, Elijah ended up in the evac zone in Rouchester, New York, much to his own relief, though unsettled with the thought of an outbreak as strong as the one in his hometown.

Biography: Born to a South Vietnamese Air Force pilot who escaped to the United States in 1978, Jack Nguyen is the third of seven children. He was born in June 1985. His father told Jack of his stories of flying A-37 Dragonfly attack jets and later, F-5E Tiger II light fighters. This got young Jack hooked into aviation. When he entered middle school, he discovered the Civil Air Patrol when it set up a STEM program at his school. This got him into the Civil Air Patrol squadron as a cadet at Edwards AFB. His successful CAP cadet career ended in 2004 when he left for San Jose State University, its AFROTC detachment, and the aviation program there. At San Jose, he met his future wife. After graduating with a degree in aviation, Jack was assigned to the 43rd FTS at Columbus AFB, Mississippi flying T-37B Tweet trainers and then T-38C Talon advanced jet trainers. He earned his pilot wings in 2008 and was assigned home to Edwards AFB flying F-16s with the 416th Flight Test Squadron. He married his girlfriend in later that year.

In 2009, Nguyen deployed to Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar for his first six-month deployment. Though he found his deployment most unusual because of his assignment, he nevertheless carried it out dutifully. When he returned in 2010, he found that his father was suffering from cancer. Jack suspected Agent Orange exposure. Though his father was given the best treatment available, he sadly passed away in 2011.
