Appearance: The man known as Nova stands roughly 6.7 feet tall, not counting his steel toed boots which adds a foot. Rather average build except for his height. Often seen with a hood over his gas mask.

Name: Goes by the name Nova, clearly a code name he used in the past.

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Respirator:
A new production mask based on an old model. Usually given to peasants though he had his trimmed with brass and gold. it is insulated to keep warm.

Personal equipment: He wears an insulated wool overcoat and insulated pants and hooded sweater underneath. Except for his triple barrel shotgun, Nova has a pocket heater, basically a small electric powered heater and a portable satellite radio he uses to listen to both UCS and ED news networks. He also has a nifty little thermal mug that melts and purifies snow into drinkable water, put snow in, shake it around and drink steaming water!

Personal Skills:

I know things...: Nova is above all a knowledge seeker. Why? Well, to manipulate others of course! The more you know about anything and everything about the modern world the more it can be used to advance ones self further in life! Don't ask him anything about the past though, such useless knowledge cant be used in the here and now, therefore its discarded.

Efficient supervisor: Nova has always been an efficient man and that usually spread to his lackeys. Given enough manpower and some form of control over them, Nova tended to do marvelous work. Then again, the control part is key sense he isn't really likable as a person...

Pack horse: Although he'd have trouble running 3 miles, Nova can somehow walk dozens of miles with surprising amounts of supplies, as long as he's walking his own pace...


Bio:
Where to start with the man known as Nova... Nobody is quite sure about the man's origins, only that he was part of the Automate Life Initiative in the UCS so one could argue that he's at least from north America somewhere. Being one of the coordinator's in the complete automation of everything in the UCS, Nova simply disappeared literally days after its completion. Although everyone that was part of the project "disappeared" as well and was never heard of again, Nova is unique in that he was still seen breathing, just on the other side of the atlantic.

Now part of the great Eurasian Dynasty, Nova once again found himself organizing and supervising multiple projects for the ED military complex. His efficiency and organized talents soon made him quite popular amongst the upper tier generals, often finding being personally named for new military projects. Again, he quickly disappeared after a top secret project was completed, never to be seen again within ED territory.

Now what you, as a London citizen, might know of the man. Nova was part of an organization known as the Z Initiative, often rumored to have founded it really, that secretly infiltrated vault political and governmental entities in the hopes of controlling the vaults from the top down. Those they could not infiltrate were blackmailed, embargoed by those the controlled, raided and often isolated from the rest of London. Soon enough much of every vault was under the influence of the shady organization in some way or another.

The end goal was to form a united London but that is no longer a possibility sense there is no longer a London to unite. Nova now seeks a way out of London, knowing a secret vault were he might wait out the current war.

Theme: A puzzle to be solved.

Misc: Although common sense, its worth noting that he didn't call himself Nova while part of the Z Initiative sense many would have killed him knowing he was part of it. Many London citizens also didn't know about the Z Initiative as they often hid there activities and was subtle in there operations. It was also much smaller then what people gave them credit for, the Z Initiative simply took advantage of hype and fear mongering.

I'm wondering if I can have my character jump in at some time when everybody(or one group) is outside, because he all but lives outside. His home is a rundown little shack made of cement and wood, so.. he'll find a group while out 'prospecting', then?

Thanks, I'll try and get the sheet to you ASAP

EDIT:

CHARACTER SHEET
(PM approved)

Appearance: More or less like this. The clothes and the hood were sewn up with an extra layer of cold protection.

Name: Aron Macner

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Respirator: Just your good ole gasmask in a rather good shape

Personal equipment:
A Remington shotgun minus the stock, duct tape works wonders.
PP2000 SMG with just two magazines worth of ammo
Three throwing knives, a machete and a hunting knife. All very cared for and kept sharp.
A medical bag with supplies to treat various wounds.
Usual random stuff: Food, water, shortwave radio, sewing kit, frying pan etc. (think survival gear)

Personal Skills:
I'm a doctor... yeah, I definitely am: Used to help out a doctor in his bunker with treating various injuries and ailments, picking up knowledge on the way. Though the latter knowledge mostly came by from fixing himself as he roamed the surface in his later days.
Cold arms: He may not be a crackshot, but there's little Aron misses with a knife, and his picked up medical knowledge allows him to know just where to stab someone to either make it instant, or long and painfull.
Head down: Aron has a talent to dissapear when guns come out, only to to attempt a close range removal of someone's guts, but mostly to stay out of sight and range.
Sprinter: While not a full sprint, he can spend a whole lot of time in a trot like speed, covering large distances in not that too long of a time.
Bloodlust: The sight of blood triggers an increased level of adrenaline in Aron's body, making him forget about trivial things like pain, time, number of people around him and in some situations; who is friend and who is foe.

Bio:
Aron belonged to a bunker located in the general balkan area, he didn't bother keeping track as the countries started falling apart and reforming like crazy. Fascinated from early life by workings of a human body, he often hung around the medical helping out where he could, eventually just ending up working as an assistant to a medic. Alongside his job he spent a lot of time learning how to wield blades and cold weapons, as his father oft taught him that it comes in handy since bullets cost a lot and often got in fights, with severl good hits to the head knocking a few boards loose in him. After a good deal of repetitive years, ED took note of his existence and decided to volounteer him, which at first he openly accepted, only to one night up and slice the throat of everyone in his "escort". Realizing it could mean a problem for him, he decided that running is the best option. Without much ideas, he went north, as far north as he could go. The trek through Europe was long, painfull and very bloody for him, he ended up removing a large number of bullets and even more shrapnel out of himself. Eventually, he made it to the coast and learned of refugees fleeing to the British isles to escape the war, being on rather bad terms with ED, Aron hooked a ride on a like boat, taking his messed up brain and skills to what he hoped was a neutral zone.

Misc:
Months spent alone and on the run set loose several already bent screws in Aron's head, as a result he has apsolutely no remorse when resolving to violence. And he can start gibbering when cutting someone open (not in a medical sense)

MUDPUNISHER wrote:Appearance: Ladies?

Name: Anthony “Duke” Linning

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Respirator: See appearance, it’s the thing around his neck

Personal equipment: The "All-American" rifle is an older modified military marksman rifle. This 5.56 full-auto weapon has seen more service than any could easily suspect, and has worn it well.
A 1/3 inch thick piece of steel fashioned into a a bulletproof vest. It's better than trying to wear a vest of bottlecaps.
Carries 3 magazines(20 rounds each) 5.56 and one more magazine's worth of bullets in his bag.
He wears the crude armor shown in the appearance picture, with his vest under a shirt or jacket.
Carries a small tattered and beaten backpack with a small flashlight with a flint and steel striker, three MRE’s inside, and a canteen strapped to its outside.
Finally, he carries a small knife used to skin small animals and for hand to hand fighting. Once more, better than nothing.

Personal Skills: Gun-smith: While limited to guns, his knowledge of mechanical parts of guns is vast. Keep a weapon in shape, or operating a new weapon he finds is generally a breeze.
Wise crack: He’s decent at shooting. Can hit a bottle cap at 40 yards, and a lunchbox at 100.
Run forest Run: He’s young and in shape... as in shape as one can be in a nuclear holocaust with a general lack of medicine and food. He can run for long periods of time, and sprint even longer.
Lead stomach: He can eat (almost)anything, as long as it's properly edible. This is both inspiring, and on many occasions, disgusting.
Ladies Man: quite one with the ladies… or at least he thinks.

Bio: Anthony's story didn't begin with him alone. It started with his father, a UCS soldier in America, who decided his future should be in foreign lands. Luck, and a chance meeting with a roving traveler led to anthony's birth in Europe. His father raised him alone in a small vault, design to hold at best 30 people. Even with his own knowledge from service in the UCS and books, manuals, and diagrams he found he only got a handfull of systems back online. The main power generator and it's batteries cam back online, the air filtration came back online, the water filtration did as well, but the water pipes had long gone useless, and the food stations had been ransacked and destroyed long ago. At the young age of 11 his father left the vault with his bare essentials, minus his rifle, and never returned. He didn't leave a note, he didn't tell his son what he was doing, and he most likely didn't intend not to come back. His son read through his journals, ruined and scorched books, and anything he could to survive.
It worked, as well as possible for his situation. Anthony survived years alone in the vault, scowering what he could from nearby buildings, finding plants and trying his best to not take them entirely as to make them last longer. This lead to his "lead belly" starting to develop, as even though he got better over time, at first his attempts at making food were nearly toxic messes. His father had left the vault and ventured out for the last time when he was what Anthony presumed was somewhere between 46 and 50, and he himself was nearly 22 when food finally ran out. Constant rain for nearly a week and odd sounds in the night while he stayed inside his safe zone persisted as he ate what he figured at the moment to be his "emergency" stores of food, daring not venture out for his own safety. Upon finally hearing no more noises, and the rain eventually stoping, he ventured out to find the animals and plants gone or husks. Food went from scarce, to completely gone. He managed to find some things to eat somewhat desperately, and the occaional vultture or large bird that made a mistake and flew within his range, but over time his malnutrition got worse and worse.
Eventually he found himself stuck inside of his own vault. He didn't have the energy or strength for a proper venture outside, and he slept as much as possible, not wanting to waste any water by opening his eyes or mouth unless absolutely vital. In what he figured would be one of his last days he heard the door to his vault open, and he reached for his rifle, balled up in the fetal position, and aiming from his legs for the steadiest shot he could get. The invader walked out of his line of sight for a moment, and appeared again near him. Anthony shakily moaned for him to leave him, and tried futily to point his gun at him. Blacking out many times, and waking to see the man whom he believd to be an invader treating him back to help he gave up on his resistance, and instead wanted to become the best possible friend to this man as possible.
Luck, it seemed, had returned to the son of the UCS soldier of fortune; Gale Silkes had saved Anthony's life, and for that he asked to travel with him, as a sort of step-son and companion he felt Gale needed

Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjSpO2B6G4s
Whats that sound gale? Yes im going to have him sing a few verses of this to himself, it was the only song they had in the shelter and his dad just kept playing it.

Misc: Carries his father’s dog tags around his neck.

I like how Clara(?) calmed Anna(?) down, especially when stating, nonchalantly, that my character is a belligerent man with a rifle and a shovel, as if stating "Oh, there's nothing wrong with him, he's just a mad man with a machinegun, he shouldn't be too bad." I don't know, I think I saw belligerent as less of an antagonistic adjective and more of a "He is the enemy" adjective to describe someone. Also on that note, I was wondering about Clara and Anna. Wasn't it Clara the one with broken English, attitude, and the machinegun while anna was the Tall voice of reason and less broken-y English? I got so confused when reading that.
The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Due to circumstances, that post posts while I was jet lagged and half asleep. The name mix up is the result of that, along with any other inconsistencies.

Also, Clara was swearing and telling off Trevor, Hotep's character not Isabelle at any point. Sorry if my descriptors aren't up to notch as well as my lack of names. Anna's ability to be nonchalant is now due to her being German.

Technically, we're both correct on the use of belligerent! When you describe someone as a belligerent like how Anna did in my post, then it means that the person is, quote Google, is "hostile and aggressive". But if you call someone a belligerent then you're calling them a hostile combatant. Just clarifying that Anna is using the first method, not the second.

Edit: There, names should be correct now.

I think you should wait for Red to return. Especially since none of you know what he was planning on doing.
