Roleplayer Questions
Preferred Name/Nickname: Anything as long as I know you're referring to me. Cyrus, Cy, Rus, King, etc.
Do you have any triggers fellow roleplayers should know about? If so, what are they?: Uhhh no not really. Nothing that will apply here.
When are your most active periods?: I'm super chaotic so it varies, but I can generally pop on sporadically throughout the weekdays and sometimes at unearthly late hours (i.e., the wee hours of the morning). I'm in EST. When I remember, I can respond multiple times a day; when I don't remember, I vanish like a ghost. :') I'm trying to do better.
Character Template
Name: Bridger Jacek
Aliases/Preferred Name/Nicknames: He just goes by Bridger.
Species: Mutant
Age: 20
Gender & Pronouns: Male, he/him
Sexuality: Demi
Stage of Infection: Stage 2, mid; he tries to act like it doesn't worry him, but he is absolutely terrified of it and paranoid that he is going to succumb to stage 3 soon and hurt someone he cares about.
Backstory: [see Cal's]
Appearance:
Build– He's a tank, standing at 6'6" with a broad build. He's muscular, but also carries a bit of weight along with him, so he looks like a bear of a guy. He's got thick arms, big hands, big feet. Incredibly strong.
Skin– Fair, with a light olive complexion to it. A few small scars, mostly on his hands and arms, but nothing too prominent.
Face– Squar-ish jaw and thin lips. Blue-grey eyes, with short, dark lashes and thick brows. His nose is prominent but not large. Wide and expressive smile, with straight teeth— though if you look close you can spot one crooked one on the bottom.
Hair– Thick jet-black hair; he used to try to keep it cut into a messy undercut, but lately it has grown out almost to his shoulders and is quite a shaggy mess.
Clothing– He sometimes ties a bandana around his forehead, sometimes wears a straight-billed cap (which is very worn out and tattered, by the way) that he's had for a long time. He wears a sleeveless, dark red shirt, though on colder days he has a worn out, black jacket that goes over it nicely. He wears a pair of tattered black cargo-pants with lots of pockets and thick, black combat boots. He also usually wears bloodied or dirty bandages wrapped around his hands and knuckles, though that's out of necessity just as much as it from the fact that he likes them. His socks never match.
Personality: Bridger is a passionate sort of guy. The best way to describe him is: tough, but soft hearted. He's kind, has a good sense of humor, and is, generally, super laid-back. He is stubborn and strong-willed, but also considerate of others and sensitive. He is incredibly patience, but once that patience is overused or runs out, he can have a bit of temper, and he does not handle his anger very well. He hates liars and traitors and doesn't care to confront the people who upset him— though, once he gets it out of his system, he's usually quite forgiving. He's super loyal and protective of his friends, willing to go to great lengths to keep them happy and safe. He likes to make people feel at ease, but lately he has been on edge due to his infection of the virus. He is terrified of dying and even more terrified of hurting the people he cares about; it has been causing him a great amount of stress, which he worries will only cause the virus to spread even faster within him…
Also, he seems to be accident prone and despite being near-indestructible sometimes had a tendency to get injured and bloodied. Maybe that's because he has a lot of tolerance to pain? Or maybe he's just an oaf.
He's also a lot smarter than he acts most of the time and likes learning new things.
Abilities/Powers: He can, in essence, harden himself to become nearly indestructible for short periods of time. It doesn't much change his appearance, but when he does it, he can withstand nearly anything and can break through walls or other obstacles. The problem is that he cannot do so for too long, and once it is over he is usually incredibly fatigued— and hungry. Staying in this state for prolonged periods can cause physical problems such as disorientation, extreme pain, and even unconsciousness or shock.
He has increased strength (at all times), pain-resistance, and endurance.
Gear: He carries a big backpack full of all kinds of miscellaneous stuff he's collected to help sustain himself (mostly tools, like some pliers, a few pocket knives, some rope, flashlights, lighters, etc.), two pistols (which he loves), a bowie machete (which he adores), and an axe he found awhile ago and jokingly picked up as his "apocalypse weapon" just to mess with Cal but then actually high-key fell in love with it and won't part with it for the life of him.
Other: Let me know if I need to change anything
Character Template
Name: Callaway Barnett
Aliases/Preferred Name/Nicknames: Sometimes Callie, but Bridger exclusively calls her "Cal."
Species: Angel (if this is allowed? If not please let me know and I will change it!)
Age: 18 years old
Gender & Pronouns: Female, she/her
Sexuality: Questioning
Stage of Infection: Stage 1; it hasn't yet made itself too obvious, but she knows she is sick. It worries her, but she doesn't mention it much for Bridger's sake.
Backstory: [pending] I am still heavily developing the backstories (as those are usually something I put together over time as I develop the character), but I know that both Cal and Bridger have been separated from their families for some time now. Whether their families or dead or otherwise remains undecided. However, Cal and Bridger have been friends for some time— a thoroughly platonic but still very strong friendship that formed when Cal stumbled across an injured and ill Bridger, whom she aided. It was from him she caught the virus, and he blames himself for it. Bridger is highly protective of Cal, and Cal helps keep Bridger calm.
Appearance:
Build– She stands at approximately 5'4", with a small, wiry build. She doesn't have much curve to her body and carries what little weight she has around her hips (though, that is not much). Bony wrists and small hands.
Skin– Very fair, somewhat blemished skin. No freckles or obvious birthmarks.
Face– Soft, round features. Large, sea-green eyes with long blonde eyelashes. Smallish nose, though a bit crooked if you look closely. Average lips, straight white teeth.
Hair– Light blonde hair, with a slight reddish tint to it; it falls down to her waist and is incredibly curly. It is sometimes a bit frazzled looking and gets tangled a lot. She tries to keep it back in a messy ponytail.
Wings– Large, white feathery wings, mottled with dark-grey.
Clothing– Varies, though she tends to wear mostly soft greens and light purples (her favorite colors) and has a pair of checkered green high tops that she always wears, no matter the occasion. Though, at this point, they look like they're about to fall apart. She also has a pendant she always wears that belonged to her mother; it is heart-shaped with an infinity symbol around it.
Personality: Upon first interacting with her, Cal is quite soft-spoken, shy, and overall timid and soft. She observes more than she speaks and seems like one who would flee at the sight of the danger and never harm a fly. She is very sensitive and empathetic to others, caring deeply for their pain and wanting to help. She struggles with being fearful of many things, but is working to overcome that. Generally, she avoids conflict and does not handle criticism very well. She tries to see the best in others, and, despite being quite wise, sometimes can seem gullible or naïve due to her desire to forgive and give others the benefit of the doubt. Under most circumstances, she would never really fight for herself— but the same cannot be said for when those she loves are endangered. She is highly creative and likes to collect random things. She is generally timid and docile but can become courageous and perhaps even aggressive if the situation so requires.
Abilities/Powers: Due to having wings, she can fly. She also has a higher lifespan than normal humans, as well as somewhat heightened empathy and intelligence. Although she heals relatively fast, her bones are much more fragile than that of most other supernatural creatures and prone to breaking easier.
Gear: She carries a worn leather satchel that is filled with various supplies, mostly medical (partially because Bridger seems to have a habit of getting himself injured). Her bag includes: some alcohol (like… the kind for wounds), half a roll unused bandages and a tourniquet, a small pocket knife, a short spool of rope, a sewing kit, a suturing kit, a flashlight, some other various first-aid items, a pair of slightly roughed-up binoculars, and a few extra clothes (as well as some random, pointless junk, I'm sure; she likes to collect random things). She also generally carries a small canteen of water with her.
Other: In this case, I am using angels not so much as a spiritual being so much as just a winged human. I wasn't sure what else to call that, I went with angel. If angels aren't suitable for this fantasy setting, that is no problem whatsoever and will be an easy fix (I'll make her an elf or something), so just let me know!
Okay so honestly these are kind of rough and I apologize for that because I know it's pure chaos. It's 3:00 AM and ya boy be strugglin'. Anyway, if I need to change anything pls just lemme know and I'll get right on that. :)
