Welcome to the profile page for the Apocalyptic roleplay I'm running named The Immune.
I do just want you to keep in mind some things regarding the roleplay though:
This is apocalyptic. Their clothes don't matter. They grab what they can when they can and if they're very lucky they may get to wash clothes in a river or something, there is no electricity, there are no computers, ipods and if you want to listen to music you'll have to be lucky with batteries and a walkman.
Things they carry with them have to fit into a backpack you'd be comfortable carrying around all day, save for instruments. Just keep in mind things like that - if you were in an apocalypse, what would you take? Would you really need your compact mirror or every single item of clothing in your wardrobe?
Regarding instruments yes they're allowed but you are liable to lose them and once you break a string, don't expect everybody to go out of your way to go and find a music shop in a sea of infected. Of course, if it's a safe house take what you can while we're there!
And lastly, these characters need to be STRONG, strong minded and strong willed. They're all there to support each other but a girl who can't stand to break a nail won't last long. I don't mean big burly characters but I do mean that you have to be prepared to have some muscle and a lot of stamina.
Profile Template
[b]Name:[/b] Obvious xD [b]Age:[/b] again, obvious :P [b]Gender:[/b] [b]Faceclaim:[/b] Here you can provide a face claim for your character, AKA a celebrity that your character looks like face-wise. [b]Appearance:[/b] Similar to the above, but describe them. What's their hair like, are they slim or heavy, do they wear light clothes or do they prefer warmth? Elaborate. [b]Personality:[/b] What makes your character tick? How do they act in certain situations? Do they have brains or brawn? [b]Belongings:[/b] What do they carry with them? Is it a rucksack or a backpack? [b]Role in the group:[/b] Doesn't have to be specific, but if they know first aid or if they have experience in fighting then they can take on a slight role in the group. The role of the 'leaders' is taken by me, but there are no specific role and aside from the leaders, many people can have a role or more than one. First aider and fighter? Sure. Strategy planner? Very useful.
[b]PETS[/b] If your character has a pet, please include this!
[b]Name:[/b] [b]Age:[/b] Doesn't have to be specific, and let us know if the animal is old or young or what. Not everybody is well versed in animal ages vs human ages! So if you had a 12 year old dog, you would put 12 [Old-ish]. [b]Species:[/b] [b]Personality:[/b] Is your animal grumpy, protective, cheerful, loving...let us know. [b]Belongings:[/b] If you have a large dog or a horse they can be used to carry items as long as you don't overload the animal. Horses can carry quite a lot but they're not the best fighters (although hooves can quite quickly take down somebody if the flight instinct doesn't kick in...) whereas dogs will carry less but fight more.
Just fill out the profile and I will review it! If I reject you, don't take it to heart at all. It's unlikely I'll reject anybody!

Name: Elise
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Faceclaim: Karen Gillan
Appearance: Elise is tall and slim with a firey streak that matches her hair. It was long at one point, but she's cut it short since she's started travelling so it has a hacked at appearance. Short hair = less chance of the infected grabbing it and using it against her. She has dull green eyes and fair coloured skin - before the apocalypse, she was pretty, but now she's got a haunted look in her eyes and it's tough to get a smile out of her, let alone anything else. Meeting with other survivors may cheer her up a little bit but for now it's only her, her brother and their horse. Her clothing style is generally simple and practical. She favours darker colours over light as they allow her to blend in more with the background and occasionally sneak past without being noticed by the infected. She isn't particularly muscly in the way of fighting, but she can run like the wind and her and her horse can become an unstoppable pair if they've had enough sleep between the two of them.
Personality: Out of her and her brother, Elise is definitely the brains. She favours a strategical approach over running in with all guns blazing and tries her best to sketch down maps of the area when and where possible, or even just wrench them from the walls. One thing Elise tends to be good at is pep talking and helping to give people strength to carry on. Being one of the older ones (so far) she considers herself a bit of a motherly/sisterly figure and wants to help in any way she can. She's definitely brave and determined and has a very hot temper. She isn't a sentimental person in most cases but one thing she's weak to is the sun and the stars. When they come out, she will happily sit and gaze for ages at the rare glimpse. Seeing as there are no lights and no light pollution the night sky is more beautiful than usual.
Belongings: She tries not to carry much that isn't of use to them. Elise isn't a sentimental person while she doesn't mind those who are, she isn't afraid to tell somebody what she thinks if they choose keeping an old teddy bear over taking an important first aid kit, which is what her bag mostly consists of: Maps, first aid kits, food and water. When she can find flasks she takes them.
She does always have a watch as well. Time isn't the most important thing in the world but she likes to keep organized and having a watch is fairly important in that you know when night's gonna come, seeing as the skies are too clouded over to see the sun and the moon most days.
Role in the group: Elise is a leader, an agony aunt and pep talker.
PETS If your character has a pet, please include this!
Name: Phantom
Age: 6 [Young/teenaged]
Species/breed: Horse/Gypsy Vanner
Personality: Phantom is calm and collected in most cases. He used to be a riding school horse and was labelled bomb-proof in his days, so while he can be cheeky and greedy he is also friendly and keeps his spirits up despite their situation, which Elise and Seth think he understands despite being an animal.
Belongings: Phantom wears a very simple saddle in the day (at night when they rest it's removed and he's allowed to graze or he's put in a safe place) and a headcollar and reins that are usually on unless he's secure. His saddle has saddlebags that mainly contain flasks, food supplies and bedding.

Name: James
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Faceclaim: ... do i really need to say?(Hint-My favorite Beatle)
Appearance:Some might say he's quietly handsome and others that he is alarmingly cute, but either way, James is a very good looking guy. He is tall and rather slender for his age, with quite a bit of filling out left to do. While he's not graceful in the same way as his sister, he is still-in many ways, a very smooth person. He has dark brown, soulful eyes that usually shine with laughter, but sometime he is caught with a sad longing glittering in his eyes. He wears his equally dark hair in a long fashion. His skin epitomizes the word 'white', being extremely pale. His lips are red in contrast, which on some would make them look like they were patched together, but James pulls it off swimmingly.
Personality: James is great in mind but not in stature. That is to say, he's smart but not strong. He relies mainly on his wit and speed to keep him alive, but also on his charm and his ability to pretty much talk people into anything. The thing that bothers him most out of anything is when people call him 'Jim', 'Jamesie' or 'Jame-es". he's no fan of nicknames. James is bossy and stubborn, very 'determined' in everything he does . His sense of humor is a bit strange and he can be very random. He is loyal, but more importantly protective. His main interest is protecting the people and things that matter most to him, and he gets really pissed when people 'threaten' them. James will stop at no end to get his way(which usually happens). He is a ladies man, very flirtatious. However, his main passion in life is music. Music is the one thing that can keep him smiling instead of slitting his neck open at night. Music is the only way he can truly express himself. His love and talent for music is unparalleled by most people.
Belongings: He has an old guitar, some guitar strings, a switchblade and a camera. He also likes to carry around books and pictures from before the apocalypse. Which, I should add, he needs reading glasses.
Role in the group: James is leader in his own way. He is not confident enough in himself to actually lead anybody, but sometimes people just follow him anyway. Huh.
PETS
Name:Calliope Age: Young-ish? ( I have no idea on the raven age scale so that's all I'm saying) Species:Raven Personality: Intelligent and loyal, like her owners, and very stubborn. She is smart enough that she can communicate with people. She is shared by James and his twin, Kestrel. Just thought I'd mention that. Belongings: Not large enough to carry anything of importance.

Name: Katlyn Age: 20 Gender: Female Faceclaim: N/A Appearance: An average height woman with an athletic build. She has long hair that is half-way between brown and red in color and has a slight curl at it's shortest points. She has hazel eyes that appear to be almost bronze in color. She wears bright colors (that was all she owned prior to the apocalypse) Personality: She is truly a girlie-girl but is level headed enough to know the severity of the situation. Having taken gymnastics and marshal arts for much of her life she is strong and swift. She was in school to become a doctor so she has basic medical training Belongings: A thin 6 foot solid steel pole that she uses as a weapon/ walking stick, a small medical kit (carries Iodine, rubber gloves, splints, a scalpel, tweezers and some bandages) all contained in a wooden box, some supplement vitamins (chew-able), and hand sanitizer, she carries all but the pole in a bright pink backpack Role in the group: She's a medic of sorts but can stand her own in a fight.
PETS
Name: Rich Age: what ever a good falcon age for an adult is (Adult) Species: Falcon / Peregrine Personality: He's a confident ex-falconry falcon who is smart enough to follow complected commands. Katlyn uses him to scout ahead and hunt for small game. Belongings: A brightly colored ribbon, and a hood used to keep him calm when he is not being used

Name: Kestrel
Age:14
Gender:Female
Faceclaim: None
Appearance:Kestrel is James' mirror image in female. She has the same slim, tall build, and she holds herself with a certain gracefulness that is hard to put down. Her fingers are long and narrow but carry skills that some could only hope to have in their lifetime. But that's where the similarities end. The most strikingly different thing is her eyes; cold and dark gray, like a rising storm. Beyond that, her hair is as dark and as long as the midnight sky, with the exception of a stark white streak that hangs in the hair above her right eye. Everything about her appearance is cold and slightly imposing, where on James' face you can see how he has tried to make light of the situation, Kestrels face carries hollow shadows in the spaces under her eyes and cheekbones. Even the way that she dresses holds hostility; she hotly refuses to wear anything other than shades of black, no matter how hard James tries to convince her to branch out a little. As a bit of a side note, Kestrel usually wears her hair in a braid woven with barbed wire, in case any infected try to tear it out.
Personality:Kestrel acts without feeling. It's James' job to feel. Her job is to keep them as safe as she can with minimal damage to either of them. These restrictions have turned her into a fierce, cunning warrior. She holds intelligence over everything, and boy, is she smart. Her greatest skill, some might say, is that she notices everything. She notes every movement, every action of a person-how they act, their mannerisms- and stores them. She reads like a powerhouse. If it weren't for supplies, her bag would be filled with books. Books are the windows into Kestrels true nature, because unlike the way she projects herself to be, she is a shy, caring person. However, one aspect of herself that is not projected is her unyielding will. It's a genetic thing; Kestrel's breed are not the type to give into anything or anybody.
Belongings: Kestrel is the more sensible of the twins. She always carries enough rations of food to keep her and James alive for at least a week. Other sensible items she brings with her are iodine( for water purifying), canteens, a simple first-aid kit, a flint and steel, a small hatchet and various small, colourful strips of fabric that she uses to tie to things to mark where she's been. She also carries a copy of Jane Eyrefor reading. As for weapons, she ahs twin swords and a whetstone in case they need sharpening. Role in the group:Despite being strong, Kestrel is not fit for leading. She is best suited for a position in strategy and planning, as she is very smart and rational. However, Kestrel is also very well suited for situations that require quick thinking, such as fighting. She has a small knowledge of the healing arts as well.

You guys are both accepted but there are a couple of issues with the pets, it's a realistic roleplay and it takes place in London so a falcon isn't really realistic and having smart pets is okay but they shouldn't be able to understand human speech fully/be able to communicate as humans do. Understanding a lot of commands is fine but understanding speech and everything behind it is much different xD

Is the pet fine now I made it so he was tamed as a sporting falcon prior to everything and he is a much more common species native to England/ the entire world.

That's fine ^^ The others may protest the bells seeing as it'd alert their position to the infected but that's for the roleplay

I will argue for the raven on the account that they belong to a group of birds called corvids. This group of birds is the smartest group of animals outside of mammals. Studies have shown that not only can they understand human speech, but they have a language of their own. Other birds in this group are crows, rooks, jays etc. Just thought I'd mention that, not to sound snobby, but just so you can see my point.

So I will be joining this, but I'm probably not going to be putting in a profile until around Tuesday. Is that okay, or would it need to be in sooner?

I really like this RP and would like to join in. Only it will be Tuesday or Wednesday before I can get posted. I have a sick child. If this is ok great, but if not, I will read and enjoy. All I have read has me intrigued and I really enjoy almost anything post apocalyptic.

That's fine, I'll leave profiles open for a bit longer before I start the roleplay officially but because they'll be travelling hopefully it should be easy for people to jump in. =D
And really, I just don't want overpowered pets, which was why I was hesitant about including pets but I thought some of them would be useful.

Name: Sage Age: 33 Gender: Female Faceclaim: None Appearance: She has red, curly hair, which she gets from her Irish ancestors paired with skin that tans that she inherited from her Cherokee side. Really a striking combination. Even though she has long hair, she keeps it braided. (Sage is an ex-pat from the American Appalachian foothills.) She stands at only 5'4" and though her figure is slender from scarce supplies, she still has rounded curves. Her muscles are taut and strong. From a young age, she has had to fend for herself in the mountains. She has managed to hang onto an old hat that she brought with her from America when she moved to London at 18. Clothing is always black, or black faded to gray. She has never had a problem with her looks, which now is a disadvantage. They draw too much attention when laying low is a major means of survival. Her eyes are large and a piercing green which many times have helped her from a sticky situation. She has high cheek bones, set in a heart shaped face. Her lips, at one time set in a perpetual pout, have thinned with the rigors of survival. Personality: Sage is sly and canny. She has looks, but always knew that looks would fade as time passed, so she learned how to manipulate people. When needed, she can do for herself. It wouldn't do to get what she wanted, then lose it from lack of strength or stupidity. At an early age, her daddy taught her to hunt. She never thought that she would have resort to this base activity, but now, it is her survival when rations from caches run low. Sage does have the ability, taught to her by her grandfather, on how to make a bow and the arrows. At this point, she chooses to utilize the artillery before crafting these items. Belongings: Sage carries most of her belongings in a rucksack. Rations, including MREs (meals ready to eat that were supplied to the military) she has been able to find are tucked away neatly . When she finds anything that can be used for first aid, trading, or anything possibly useful, she tucks it away into a pocket as well as one major staple: a can opener. She also has extra bullets for her firearms. She keeps her guns in holsters belted to her hips. She keeps a rifle slung over her back for hunting. With her slight frame and fragile look, she needs to pack some heat to keep an equal footing in this world. But, she knows that this isn't going to last. Bullets are in short supply and each one she uses is sparingly. Her hunter's knife, utility knife, skinning knife, whetstone, as well as bits of things that she can put together for a trap are also attached to her utility belt. She always keeps at least 2 metal cans for cooking and boiling water. Sage also carries one change of clothes and various toiletries if she can find them. She also keeps as much water in flasks or bottles as she can find and carry. Role in the group: Sage looks at herself in this new era as a hunter and a strategist. To survive you have to know how to get food and plan how to stay alive. PETS Name: Hachiko (named for a famous Japanese Akita whose name means 8 prince and 8 is considered a spiritual number) Age: 5 years Species: Japanese Brindle Akita Personality: Hachiko is very protective of Sage. Most Akitas have one person that they connect with and stay loyal to for their lives. Hachiko will not listen to others, only Sage. They went through rigorous obedience training before the Apocalypse, so he responds to verbal commands from Sage. Being that he is a Japanese Akita, he can be used to hunt and is not only a show dog. Therefor, he is an excellent companion, guard and hunter. If Sage is in danger, Hachiko will attack to prevent her from getting hurt, though he will stop at her command. Belongings: Hachiko wears a harness that has detachable bags that hold extra supplies that Sage picks up. First aid, bullets, light foodstuffs, as well as an extra skinning knife, hunting knife, and whetstone.

I noticed that my people were very young compared to other characters so I bumped their age up a bit.
