Character Name: Marianna Askaron Character Stats: 3, 6, 7, 3, 8, 5, 8 Race: Ghoul Age: About 23 Level: 1 Personality: Marianna is quiet, and often goes unnoticed for long spurts of time by others around her. She is fully capable of speech--and very animated in her expressions--yet remains silent in all aspects possible, by general principle. Marianna tends to try to blend into her surroundings, both physically and psychologically. Though not comfortable around people, she almost always feels lonely, and will seek distant company, usually only listening to people and observing them. Though trying to blend into “the majority,” she is often most intrigued by creeps. Still unsettled by them, though not quite as much as others may be, they are most often her favored company. Keeping herself completely isolated from society often for months or years at a time, she has a tendency of copying selected mannerisms of those around her—sometimes quite theatrically—conveying curiosity, and the strong want to fit in and look like everyone else. She is a constant thinker, but most of her thoughts go unfinished, unless they pertain directly to the task at hand. Even if this is the case, there is no guarantee it will be followed properly. This can result in some intense internal dialogue. Though she does enjoy others and their “company”, her thoughts rarely revolve around the observed. She is often more concerned about the surviving insect flitting around just outside of her current person’s peripheral view. Her thoughts can be universal at times, thinking about the world and things beyond it, trying to figure out how things work. Other times, she’s probably just hungry or bored. The latter of which is quite a bit more likely. When she does interact with others, she is quick to the draw, and without a long temper. She uses sharp hand gestures and intense facial expressions to communicate when she gets the chance. Going unnoticed may be her forte, but she hates being ignored. This is one of the few instances she will break her world-directed silent treatment. Despite all this, she tries hard to keep those around her happy, leaving items to be found when available, leaving hints, and eliminating small threats. Appearance: Marianna has stone white skin with black spots freckled across her entire body, concentrated on the high points of her face--as well as her knees, shoulders, which have never seen the sun. It is just beginning to show signs of ghoulification, and sink in where the bones recede. Her straight, limp hair hangs down to her shoulder blades, and is often tied back with a piece of thread. It lacks life, just as her dull blue eyes do, showing only white in its color. It is also only just perceivably thinned from radiation exposure at a young age. Her mouth remains covered by a thin strip of cloth that acts as a mask for only the lower third of her face. This is to cover the scarring at the edges of her right lip corner and resulting exposed, smooch-stained teeth and gums just beginning to blacken. She is relatively average in stature, though seeming a little boyish at first glance. Her height is approximately 5’6” on her toes, where she usually stands. Her hands are quick and nimble, covered in a patchwork of thin scars and wounds resembling animal bites. Her fingernails are bitten to the quick so much so that strenuous activity may occasionally cause minor bleeding, though unnoticed. Her throat and inner elbows are riddled with needle marks, scars from too-tight restraints, and markings that resemble patchwork incisions and low-level surgical stitching. Her stomach and back also match this pattern of skin distress. On her right ankle is a small black “x” followed directly beneath by a faded green tinted tattoo scribbled with the following “v/Rb/Slr-717.” Equipment: Slingshot, Lead pipe, Plain Kitchen Knife, Switchblade, Bottle of Beer, BoBo's Brew (x2), Large Hide, Wastelander’s clothes, Ice Pick (Tier 1 Hatchet), Motorcycle Engine Story: At a very young age, Marianna’s mother could no longer afford to keep her and support her habits. Having a child as a chem-addicted whore could make business difficult, so Marianna was sold for a half-serving of smooch. The purchaser was the local quack scientist who visited this particular brothel often, picking good-looking “subj—erm, assistants” from the women whom were suffering from extenuating circumstances. Following a course lasting twelve years of increasingly intensive medication courses for study, Marianna eventually became completely unresponsive to the man’s experiments, and attempted to off herself in various ways. He then decided to expose her to large amounts of radiation to increase responsiveness, and start the ghouling process. She became more unresponsive still. Having considered her “weak stock” the scientist abandoned her along with a few other ghoul children and dying humans near a system of caves. Marianna was not the leader of the new children’s community, but silently kept order and made sure all who could work did, while the weak and passing—whose numbers were steadily growing—were cared for. There was one subject who had become the leader, and had taken control over the entire community. He had great confidence in his skill, and was a little less than cautious, which worried Marianna, for it may bring unwanted attention to the caves where they dwell. He sent Marianna off on a salvage mission with two other boys. While the three were away, slavers had raided the caves. All whom were deemed too weak to be sold were murdered, and some of their corpses mutilated. One of the boys was already of weak mind, and when he witnessed the carnage, he became feral then and had to be put down on the spot. Marianna and her last surviving friend had burned the bodies, and decided to travel south. During the trip, because he could not hunt or trap like she could, he ended up perishing, before Marianna could give him the food required to survive. Now Marianna travels alone, following people from a distance for short periods of time, afraid to get close, but still wanting to learn all she could. Strengths and weaknesses: Marianna is a good trapper and very stealthy. Tracking is something she enjoys almost as much as making things, and trying to read/write from books found in obscure places. As far as combat goes, she tries to avoid it as much as possible, but will intervene if someone else is greatly outmatched, and forced into the fight/attacked. She has high endurance, and can/will run for long periods of time, without the use of chems. She prefers to stay back, and shoot with her slingshot to give the enemy distraction during combat, but is proficient with a knife when necessary. She is greatly lacking in social skills, and is naturally fearful of all others to some degree or another. She is not very strong or fast, and cannot use large guns or weapons. Her high pain threshold can sometimes be a handicap, for she could sustain life-threatening injuries, and not be aware. She is also almost deathly afraid of needles (quite literally), and refuses to take drugs other than smooch. Though she isn’t addicted, she is quite fond of the feeling, and runs a high risk of addiction. She also has a strong distaste for bright light, and will prefer to travel at night, but can still function during the day. Traits: Scatterbrain, Fast Learner, and Denizen of the Dark |

This is a good character application for a new member. Seeing as you are new I do want to offer a bit of advice. On SPECIAL if you take a stat below three the character is basically retarded in that skill. So in your case with a strength of 2 the character would be like an atrophied coma patient in physical therapy. If that's what you intended then its cool, otherwise you may want to bump it up a bit. I'm going to give you time to consider this before I pass you. |

Level: 6 HC Peter McCullough SPECIAL: 4, 4, 4, 10, 10, 4 , 4, Level 3 HC 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.

Thank you for the time... AND the warning. I don't really think a coma patient would be overly useful in the wastes. Got her all fixed up! Let me know if anything else needs to be fixed. Thanks!

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. |
