goo.gl/maps/qgydtLo, in that greenish part of the map between the Capitol Hill / Broadway neighborhood and mighty Lake Washington, many people survived the initial chaos of the undead-based apocalypse. Even some people from downtown, finding no recourse, fled uphill and - the lucky ones - made it here. But in the hilly residential neighborhood, evil lurks, threatening the humble survivors, and picking off their self-appointed heroes! Who will survive?! Maybe one of these guys. Post Madrona characters here. Use the format from the CHARACTER PROFILES thread on Subpar, but a level of description more like that in the CHARACTER PROFILES - PLAYERS thread.

   Breg Laydon Former Occupation: Fireman, worked in the Catholic Church Archetype: Athlete Specialties: Firefighting, College-level education, Enduring hardships Height: 6' 3'' Age: 32 Orientation: ? Race/Origin: Mediterranean, Mixed racial background Religion: Catholic Belief in Hell: No Description: A very tall, powerful-looking man whose physique reflects his past as an active fireman. He has an imposing, blocky figure, with strangely delicate-looking hands. His tanned skin and the shape of his darkly lashed eyes suggest a Mediterranean heritage, as do his long, rather sad-looking features. His eyes are deep, dark brown, and sad and his long, curly, black hair is drawn back in a ponytail. He seems to have kept in shape since his last workplace, and though he wears a long-sleeved flannel shirt, the underlying musculature is apparent as he carries out business as usual. From the slack in the clothes he has probably lost some weight from when they were acquired. He is a very physically strong person, and is experienced and capable in breaking down doors, carrying people, and cutting inanimate objects with his ax. An honest, none too bright, religious and rather kind man, Breg enjoyed his job as a fireman, and felt he had benefitted society greatly, even with the 9/11 disaster early in his career. After nearly 10 years, he felt that it was time to do something else, and find spiritual peace. Breg has spent the last few months caring for the nuns in his Church, though in the beginning, several were killed due to possession. Breg had the dubious honor of killing and burying both of them. He has since become fiercely protective of his enclave-mates, though they all have their own duties to keep life running in good order. He has now become the dubious leader of their small enclave, scrounging a decent living from amid the chaos of the new world. Breg's knowledge of monsters stem from his Catholic upbringing, and found out quickly that holy water and reading from the good book aren't much use. He is also very traumatized due to witnessing two of the most horrible disasters to happen to the US within short order of each other up close and personal. He has become very protective of both the nuns, and anyone else who has crossed his path. Noteworthy Traits: Unusual toughness, Accustomed to hardship, and a general survivor, he thinks of the wellbeing of others long before himself. Current Weapon: Ax, baseball bat with nails in it. Also has several firearms for possible conflicts with other humans. Cliques: Nuns. Relationship Status: ? Puppy friend- A little german shepherd/x he picked up along the way.  |

"Wolf" Public Name: Andrew Wasko, Esq. Real Name: Nicholas "Nick" Gogol Former Occupation: Criminal Archetype: Delinquent Specialties: Computer Hacking, Identity Theft, Con Man, Brawling, Basic Combat Training, Punk Lifestyle, Filthy Rich Lifestyle, Gearhead Height: 5' 9" Age: 31 Orientation: Het Race/Origin: Caucasian American, indeterminate Eastern European background Religion: Lapsed Something Belief in Hell: No Description: Andrew Wasko is a fairly skinny white guy with a large handlebar mustache. His hair is wild and he has a perpetual shadow of hair on his jaw. He worked at Perkins Coie as a patent attorney, though mostly from his beautiful seven million dollar home overlooking Lake Washington. Nick Gogol is a third generation Ukrainian American born and raised in Oakland, California. He didn't have many friends until high school and those were not really close friends. There was a lot of alcohol, amphetamines, and marijuana. They dispersed quickly after a botched liquor store robbery when he was 18. Nick enlisted in the U.S. Army, aced the ASVAB, and signed up to be a Cryptologic Network Warfare Specialist. He served all of a year out of AIT, stationed at Fort Huachuca, before getting busted for marijuana use. He served a year in the Regional Correctional Facility at Fort Lewis before being dishonorably discharged. Since then, he has worked his way up the ladder of crimes, using his not inconsiderable computer skills. To keep a low profile, he has mostly limited his targets to individuals, frequently criminals. For the last ten years he's bounced around the states, living the high life, occupying other people's seasonal homes, driving other people's fancy cars, and eating caviar out of the belly buttons of super models. He arrived in Seattle a few months before the Zompocalypse and was slowly draining the accounts of various Ukrainian "business men" in the community. He resided in the off-and-on home of a Microsoft millionaire on the east slope of the Madrona neighborhood. He drove from the man's stable of European sports cars and racing motorcycles. He frequented the swankiest clubs and most exclusive one-night-only restaurants. DEPENDING ON WHERE WE END UP CENTERING THE ENCLAVE, I WILL ADD TEXT HERE ABOUT HOW HE ENDED UP THERE. Nick's teeth aren't particularly straight (but not llama bad) and in such a way as that it makes his upper and lower canines a little more prominent than the teeth next to them. One of the uppers is capped with a silver-colored metal. Little Caleb Romero remarked one day that he looked like a wolf and the nickname stuck.
A few months in, while scavenging for supplies, he stumbled across a hair salon and found a large assortment of hair dyes. He filled the storage boxes on his bike and brought them back to the enclave on a whim. A few days later, he dyed his hair blue. He's never bothered explaining why.[/i] Noteworthy Traits: Combat Ready and Experienced, Untrustworthy, Untrusting, Charismatic Creeper Current Weapon: Semiautomatic pistol (Luger P08, 9mm), Mark I trench knife, truncheon Cliques: ? Relationship Status: Single but creeping Pre-ZP Residence: 210 Maiden Lane East, Seattle Attachments:

He has befriended many feral cats and dogs, and is on passable terms with the coyotes that eat them.

 Dorothy Harrison AKA - "Dottie", "Dusty" Former Occupation: Ranch hand ( Worked at Five Mile Ranch in Montana) Archetype: Athlete Specialties: Basic medical / veterinary care, survival, basic mechanic skills, brawling Height: 6' Age: 28 Orientation: No time for labels Race/Origin: Mixed race (Black, Caucasian, probably some eastern European blood in there as well) Religion: Agnostic Belief in Hell: Naw Description: A tall woman, athletic from life, not the gym, Dorothy can make an imposing first impression - until she cracks a smile. Her hair is growing out scraggly from being shaved in the last few months, and appears to be a plain dark brown with no pretty highlights or undertones. Her brown eyes can go from stern to shining in a heartbeat, and she has more than a couple tattoos visible. She has no visible piercings. Life on a ranch kept Dorothy in great shape, healthy as a horse and buff to boot. She prefers to dress either in jeans or sweatpants, with tank tops or shirts with the sleeves ripped off, a leather jacket and some nice black combat boots. Her body is hard and lean, lacking the standard feminine curvature. Dorothy hasn't got street smarts or book smarts, but she's got bravado and toughs and instinct to spare. She prefers to kick in doors, acting first, middle and last, and thinking as minimally as possible. She doesn't care to wax philosophical about the current state of the world, preferring instead to focus on what pleasures do remain. The thrill of survival, comradarie, seeing another sunrise, she takes her happiness where she can find it. Some might see her gung-ho personality and think such a tough cookie would make a good leader. Realism points to the more likely end of her getting a group of people killed pretty quick. No, a leader needs to strategize, to plan, and that's just not her speed. Dorothy works best as a pointed gun for someone with long-term plans and goals in mind. Dorothy retains little of the finer details of sussing out monsters. Once identified, however, she disposes of them with great gusto. Quickly figuring out what good someone is in a survival situation, Dorothy will treat them accordingly. That isn't to say she's not friendly, she'll call anyone a buddy. But that doesn't mean she'll choose that same person to watch her back or fight at her side. Over the last few months Dorothy made her way west at random, moving from horse to truck to bike to foot as each ran out of use. Noteworthy Traits: Physically fit survivalist, great bravado in a fight, dirty fighter, basic medical skills, gregarious Current Weapon: Kukri, metal ball bat, backup glock & shotgun, herself Cliques: Relationship Status: |

Now that the majority of her mice have died of natural causes (they have very short lives) and less people have been coming to her door Natalia has decided it's time to put more effort into the fight. She has a whole basement full of boxes of cans of different bean varieties, tomatoes, sauces, and other assorted human foods, and lab blocks for her little ones. Has enough to share.
