In the spirit of "Land of the Dead", this RPG will detail the adventures of a group of mercenaries, who’s job is to go out and gather supplies for "colonies" of humans that have been established across America. We will play a group that has only recently been formed three years after the beginning of the zombie invasion, who's HQ is Philadelphia. This is everyone’s first time out as a group, and no one has been introduced yet. The target is Norristown, and well, as stated, the objective is to get supplies. Food, water, things like that.

Weight: 195

As for facial hair, he doesn't get the chance to shave often so he's usually a little scruffy. Never very much though. He wears kevlar under the standard special forces uniform with an urban camo theme. He also always wears his special forces helmet.http://www.battlestargalactica-online.com/encyclopedie/divers/CMC/image.jpg
That can give you an idea except his gear is urban camo not black.
Brief History: Born in Albania, he moved with his family to America when he was 10. He enlisted at 18 with the army and soon volunteered for special forces because he wanted to go where the fighting was. When the invasion came he was seperated from his unit.

Damm it, i just can't resist stuff like this :)

name : Alyssa Sato
nationality : Japanese-American
gender : female
height : 5' 3"
weight : 130 lbs
age: 17
equipment : hunting rifle, 9mm automatic pistol, slightly sharpened wakizashi short sword (formally a display piece), crowbar.
vehicle : a 50cc moped slightly modified to carry her wordly possessions in a basket on the back of it. theres also a basket on the front of it she can store ammo and other things she needs to access quickly.

apperance: Alyssa is your normal 17 year old girl. she's lightly built and has managed to survive the past few years because of her skill with a hunting rifle and her short sword. she wears normal civilian clothes and a scavaged US kelvar helmet when she's riding on her moped.

Even without a sight she could hit anything she could see. She also knows enough martial arts to be able to use staffs and improvised clubs.

Her nightmares still trouble her since she escaped the slaughter off her family. she hates zombies so much she's lost her fear of them but can sometimes linger to inflict more damage to them after she's dealt wth them.

having spent a lot of time travelling from settlement to settlement since the dead started rising she's pretty much a loner doing various jobs to keep her moped working and gassed up. she's better known for her shooting skills although and has done the occasional 'supply run' before with other groups.

Let's go!
