Name: Laura Musil

Stats: 2 (S), 7 (P), 8 (E), 5 ©, 6 (I), 8 (A), 4 (L)

Race: Human

Age: 22 Years Old

Personality: Laura is very religious (as is evidenced by her carrying and often reading a Bible from her father that holds both Testaments) and was brought up to be a good Christian girl in the Texan town she was born in (that means no swearing, drugs, alcohol, and other various morally questionable activities), unlike others who felt God had abandoned humanity Laura will be the first to dissent and claim this world is merely a new test for the struggling human race. However that does not mean Laura isn't tolerant of those who either believe in a different religion or believe in nothing, rather she will merely disagree with them on the topic of religion. Nevertheless this matters little if Laura chooses not to speak up, which is common for her as she prefers to remain silent around others and merely listen to what's being said around her, especially if current company consists of strangers alone. This is to say that Laura is the quiet type until speaking is necessary. But despite this it isn't impossible for strangers to try to hold a conversation with Laura and try and get to know her better, if they seem good-natured and aren't known to be cut from a rotten cloth then Laura will be more keen on opening up to them then to others.

When it comes to fighting Laura sees herself as a sort of holy warrior doing God's work by cleansing the world of those who would seek to do others harm. As such she is no stranger to killing people and has done so on multiple occasions in the past in both self defense and in the defense of others. Nevertheless only those who are evil or work for evil organizations deserve to be killed and so Laura will never kill for selfish reasons or harm the innocent on purpose. When it comes to actual fighting Laura is quick to use her agility and sneakiness to move from firing position to firing position rather than face her foe head on. When explosives or "big guns" are brought up as something Laura might want to invest in during a fight she will clearly show distaste at such a proposition due to her extreme distaste and lack of experience with such weapons.

Appearance: Standing at an unusual 5'10'' Laura is a healthy 132 Ibs and has an athletic build which is more used for agility and endurance rather than raw strength. She is young, attractive, and healthy looking with bronzed skin due to being out in the wastelands for most of her life. Her hair is raven black and is long, yet this is hidden by the fact that she keeps it in a ponytail. Her eyes are bright green yet when one takes a close look at them they'll discover they are quite tired and seemingly aged. And despite being fit it is clear to those that observe her that Laura isn't exactly gifted in raw strength, which has often times led some attackers to overconfidence.

Laura currently has no scars on her body and has so far been successful in avoiding major injury in her lifetime, a somewhat rare feat for a bounty hunter in the wasteland. Laura's teeth are well kept along with the rest of her body as she takes to grooming herself whenever possible (more specifically whenever she scavenges or has the ability to purchase grooming materials that have been able to last for so long in the wasteland). The reason for this grooming is due to Laura believing that one's body must be treated like a temple less they commit the sin of Sloth.

When it comes to apparel Laura is rather predictable. She is constantly wearing a black duster, and while she won't tell anyone who isn't extremely close to her why this duster is so important to her the answer is actually held on the inside of the duster itself, a white label that is stitched inside of the duster (specifically located on the back part of the duster near the collar) holds the name of James Musil (her father). She is also always seen wearing black aviator sunglasses but this is less sentimental and more out of a need to keep the unforgiving sun from blinding her during a fight. Finally an old black cowboy hat adorns her head, this too is sentimental and also holds a label with the name James Musil on the back inside corner. And while Laura starts off wearing desert clothing beneath her duster it is liable to change as she scavenges more useful clothing to wear underneath the duster.
Starting Equipment:

Weapons-
1x Kitchen Knife (Good Condition) - Used for carving up animals and people alike this knife has proven to be a useful tool for Laura since she first used it during her hunt for the raiders who'd attacked Harpersville.
1x Post War Rudimentary Revolver (Poor Condition) - This clunky four shot revolver chambers .32 rounds and has been with Laura since she was a child, despite its drawbacks of a slow reload time and relative inaccuracy its still been useful as a firearm and so Laura has kept it around.
24x .32 Revolver Rounds

Armor/Clothing-
Black Duster
Desert Clothing worn beneath Duster
Old Black Cowboy Hat
Aviator Sunglasses (Black lenses)

Inventory-
1x Leather-covered Bible with both Old and New Testament (inside cover is signed by one James Musil)
1x Canteen of Purified Water
1x Iguana on a stick

Story: Laura was born in a small sleepy town in Texas named Harpersville to the local Preacher and his wife. Unfortunately Laura's mother died during childbirth and so Laura knew her only by stories told to her by her father, James Musil. As Laura grew up though it was clear that she was very close to her father who not only taught her of her mother but also about religion. As such Laura took after her father on religious issues and became quite educated on the Bible and its stories. However her father knew that religion alone would not prepare Laura for the harsh world she inhabited and so at the age of ten her father began to teach her how to fire guns and use knifes and hatchets as weapons, often relating Laura's preparedness to do violence to stories in the Old Testament, making the transition from innocent girl to warrior rather easy for Laura.

At the insistence of her father Laura took up hunting to not only improve her skills with firearms and stealth but to also help her learn how to survive in the wasteland. She did well and even took a liking to being out in the wasteland, often saying she felt closer to God out in what was left of nature. However when Laura was nineteen and out on a hunting trip Harpersville was attacked by a small band of raiders who killed about half the town's populace during the raid which netted them only a few weapons, some ammo, and a bit of food and clean water. Among the dead was Laura's father, James Musil, who died trying to protect a family from the attacking raiders and while he had been successful in directing the raiders away from the family it was done at the cost of his life. When Laura returned she found the town attempting to fortify its defenses and bury the dead, she searched fruitlessly for her father until finally the mother of the family that James had saved directed Laura to a grave with a hastily made wooden cross above it, inscribed in the wood was the name of her father and so the fate of the man Laura looked up to was finally known to her.

Laura swore to avenge the dead and so set out to find the raiders responsible. She tracked their movement through the wastes and took it upon herself to pick them off one by one. The first to go was Harvey Graves who Laura killed when she ambushed the raider group at night, he died of a gunshot wound to the neck, the next one to die that night was John Greenwald who charged Laura with a knife and gave his fellow raiders the chance to retreat before he too died via two .32 gunshot wounds to the chest. Only two were left and Laura continued to follow the retreating raiders with vengeance in her heart, after a few days of following behind Laura finally found them and engaged, that night one raider would escape and the other would die, Jack Tasker would die with a .32 round in his head that night. Then finally Laura came face to face with the final raider a week later, Samantha Steele however was the one to ambush Laura that night and as such was able to get close enough that Laura had to rely on a switchblade to fight her assailant, the fight went on for only a few minutes but to Laura it felt like years until finally she scored the first and final hit that night when she stabbed her foe in the side of her neck with a kitchen knife.

Victorious and exhausted Laura returned to Harpersville two weeks later and announced that justice had been done, the town had been grateful for the work and made Laura the honorary Sheriff of the town. However the next day it must have been quite a surprise to find Laura gone along with her father's Duster, Hat, and Bible the next day, a note had been left detailing Laura's decision to leave and do good around the wastelands by hunting down those with evil in their hearts. Laura had found her place in this world and that was to be someone who would hunt down those who'd done good people wrong and so deserved to be hunted and maybe even killed. She saw it as a holy mission, a good deed to the people of the wastes trying to rebuild civilization, and her path given to her by God. So with that she became a bounty hunter, she hunted down criminals, raiders, slavers, and other unsavory characters, eventually she came to a place called Bucket Town and it is here where her story continues.

Strengths & Weaknesses: Laura has very good endurance levels, and is very agile, this makes her patient enough and flexible enough to be a rather stealthy woman and as such excels at stealth. Laura is very good with slower firearms/energy weapons and non-blunt weapons. When it comes to fighting Laura is skilled at quick and precise attacks and so uses these tactics during fights. When it comes to talking to others Laura finds it easier to verbally maneuver around men and often wonders if this is due to her being attractive or if its just dumb luck. Finally Laura often finds that she is hardy when it comes to wounds and that she often heals up quickly from environmental ills.

However on the opposite side of things Laura doesn't have much raw strength and so is easily overpowered by others if she loses her maneuverability. When it comes to big guns, explosives, and blunt melee weapons Laura is almost certain to hurt herself with them and so has a extreme distaste for them. Laura also finds it harder to verbally maneuver around fellow women when it comes down to talking to others. And although Laura is hardy and quick to heal it seems she's also more susceptible to ills like radiation and chemicals if exposed to them. Finally Laura is absolutely terrible at fighting her foes head on and so strives to avoid such situations as much as possible less she be overpowered by her foe.

Traits:

Spongey! (Previously Fast Metabolism)
For some reason, your body acts like a sponge for all things toxic and helpful alike. You take in much more radiation and are effected more powerfully by toxins and poisons in the environment, but fresh air and some sunlight does you just as well. In essence, you are far more effected by environmental ills, but you heal up more quickly as well.

Sex appeal
Some people have it, and you're one of those people. Whatever gender you're attracted to, well, they're attracted to you too, and dealing with them is much easier then it would be normally. Of course, people of the opposite gender have the opposite problem. Men don't tend to take kindly to competition, and neither do women. (Note: Helps Laura with men but hurts her with other women)

Revolving killer
You prefer revolver or crackopen style weapons. Reloading and dealing with jams and other issues is easier for you then it is to most. While you may be less effective with automatic weaponry, you have more skill in all weapons that have these slower load methods. Even better, you have the ability to never be bogged down in revolving doors!

I can tell when users read our rules. I appreciate the effort you took in creating this application. The only issue I can see is the appearance section is a paragraph short.

THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY

The spirits have taken an interest in you for all the wrong reasons! Unexpected challenges will come to you during your RPs but the rewards doled out will be much juicier. It is possible to live with such a curse, but if you would rather live curse free, you could simply sell the corpse and wash your hands of the whole situation.

Lmgthev: MBP is handsome
LonesomeDrifter23: Sometimes I think MBP is a being made entirely of satire.

You Pass!

This topic is going to be moved to the database. There you will be expected to keep track of your character as their status changes due to injuries, new equipment, different appearances ect. This is also a great place to keep track of missions he's been on which will help other people find the stories he's been in easily. This topic is also a great to talk about your character and the direction you want to take him with other people.

You are encouraged to place your character stats and info in your signature like I have and most of the members here have done as well. Browse through a few users signatures to get the idea of what to do.
