I posted myself! I'll be narrating this character in the first person if you don't mind.
Name
Zero
Age:
16
Height:
I'm taller than my parents, I'm tall enough to be mistaken for a 21 year old (it has happened). A bit over 6 feet I say.
Weight:
Probably too heavy for any of you to pick up, but I'm not fat.
Gender:
Male, definitely.
Race:
Caucasian, human.
Alliance:
Honestly, this good and evil crap is nothing but a way of labeling what behavior is beneficial or detrimental to a certain society and slapping a fancy word on it to encourage or discourage that behavior. There is no official good or evil, just different morals and perspectives. I follow my own path, and if you don't like it then you can have a real moan on your own but I won't listen.
Home:
We'll see where I end up in DC.
Franchise:
MEEE!
Physical Description:
Hair: Dark brown
Eyes: A healthy shade of grey.
Face: To put it straight, I look like Mrsaturn123 with the details above. I also have thick, but not bushy, eyebrows.
Body: Well, I can't say I'm macho, but I'm not fat or thin either. I've got average-ish arms and rugby-legs. I have a slight pot-belly with a faintly visible six-pack.
(For clothes some are real and some are there for DC.)
Casual: Anything goes as long as it's dark. Corduroys are a faveourite of mine and long-sleeve T-shirts. For shoes I'll wear boots or trainers. If it's a bit chilly outside, I'll put on my leather trench-coat or leather bomber-jacket with woolen collar and cuffs.
Formal: I may tie my hair back into a pony-tail. I'll put on a posh shirt and tie with some trousers. I'll wear any neat leather shoes for formal occasions. A double-breasted jacket and a bowler hat for proper snootiness. Raining? Then I'll bring my vintage brolly with me.
PJs/Lounge: Just some lounge trousers and a T-shirt with some sort of geeky reference like an image of the evolution of man devolving into someone sat at a computer or my 'Godless' atheist T-shirt.
Combat: Bullet-proof vest, cargo pants, my leather trench-coat and steel-capped leather boots. Will often wear leather gloves with carbon-fibre knuckles, ballistic goggles, knee and elbow pads. If needed, will don a rucksack and a respirator.
Weapons:
(I don't own any real weapons apart from a Swiss army knife, but for the purposes of DC I'll set myself up with some starter equipment and gain more later in RP. Since I'm a pretty big gun-nut, you'll be seeing quite a variety.)
Handgun: Beretta 92 - An Italian semi-automatic pistol chambered for the 9x19mm parabellum, good side-arm and I can dual wield with it if I had another one.
SMG (sub-machine gun): Uzi - Ah, the infamous uzi 9mm from Israel. What can I say, RATATATATATAT!
Assault rifle: M16 rifle - American fully-automatic rifle 5.56 caliber, accurate and highly customizable. For this one I put on a retractable stock, so far.
Shotgun: Mossberg 590 - A 12 gauge pump-action shotgun originating from the U.S.A., can have a lot of fun with this shotty.
Sniper rifle: Longbow T-76 - An American bolt-action sniper rifle that can pin a hole between your eyes at over 1500 meters. Attached a 10x40 scope and a bi-pod. BOOM head-shot!
Melee: Swiss army knife - Blade, 2 saws, pair of scissors, 2 bottle openers, corkscrew, screw-driver, and 3 other tools which I presume clean your nails.
Abilities/Powers:
(I don't have any 'super' powers but I do have a few abilities that go beyond the average human being. Remember some abilities are there for the purpose of DC)
Perception - I can spot things other people will easily miss, like one time I found a broach in the dirt. Good for sniping.
Pain resistance - I can withstand large amounts of pain without flinching, that's not to say I don't FEEL the pain I just ignore it.
Agility - I can run, I can jump, I can DANCE and I always find myself to be the last one standing on a wobbly platform.
Logic - My last I.Q. test states I have an I.Q. of 131, and get this, only 2% of the world's population have an I.Q. above 130. Still no good at chess though.
Skills:
Gaming - I can master virtually any game within a few hours. Controls, strategy and owning your ass!
Drawing+Design - Although I may not have much art on my DA page ('cause my bloody scanner is a piece of crap!) I am pretty handy with a pencil. I used to draw maps as a hobby before I found the existence of video games. What's strange is that I am more skilled with a pencil than I am with a paintbrush.
Storytelling - Throughout my life I was able to come up with creative tales that always impressed my teachers. I have a concept already in mind, but I'm still mulling it over and I want to better my storytelling skill (one of the reasons I came to DC is to practice writing).
Computers - I don't have much to show for this skill, although I did repair my first computer on work experience and designed a database for a school. I am also going build my first PC sometime soon, all I need is the CPU, peripherals and a new office chair since my IKEA one has gone to shit.
Guns - Okay this is more of a DC relevant skill, but still, there is no other hobby that I've felt so connected to. I hope to one day collect airsoft guns and enter airsoft wars.
CQC (close-quarters combat): Another DC relevant skill, but I did take Karate lessons (orange belt) and I can easily analyse weak-points and exploit them.
CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation): Yep, from the recovery position to the snog of life, I know all there is to CPR and have the certificates to prove it. I could save your life, or your RP character's life.
Personality:
(I'm gonna break this down into what I like, dislike, faveourites and other factors that affect with my personality. Note that I may appear more attitude-y and confident than I would be in real life since I have a lot more freedom in DC.)
Fave colours: Green, red and purple. I want to say black but it's technically not a colour.
Fave food: Tortellini with cheese sauce and diced ham. I also love ribs in BBQ sauce.
Fave beverage: Milkshakes and smoothies, thick ones.
Fave game: At the moment it's The Sims 2, but that could easily change once I've built my gaming PC.
Fave movie: Airplane! One bloody funny movie indeed.
Likes: GUNS! Computers, games, other geeky stuff. Scare pranks. Teh inter-mah-nets. Cute furry animals, especially cats, every time I walk past a cat I just can't help but go up to it and pet it.
Dislikes: Kids. Bigots. Chavs. Idiots. Phone calls I have to deal with while everyone is out the house. Gift certificates. Shoelaces. DC's Americanized spell checker.
Traits: It depends on the situation really. Since my traits are so varied, I'll state which traits I'm sure of. I am such an unflirty person; I don't care if you're pretty, smart, dedicated or good in bed I'm NOT dating you; this is probably down to my Asperger's syndrome, I avoid socializing. As you may have guessed I'm a loner and I like it that way, too many people make me feel awkward and embarrassed so I don't like being the center of attention, but I do like to talk and listen. I am primarily a logical thinker, but I may do some crazy things out of impulse.
History:
I'm not gonna give you my life's story, but I will explain how I would get to DC. My computer gobbled me up. It ate me riiiiiiiiiight up! Next thing I knew, I'm standing in the ITS with some supplies to get me started. I'm I worried? No. I'm here to play, role-play. And I am my own main character. (Isn't it ironic how this is one of the shortest descriptions?)
