Zombie Apocalypse: The Sign-up

[mauve]

Name: Mauve (pfft, like she'd give out her real name and spoil the aura of mystery.)

Appearance: Mauve is 24 years old, about 5'9" tall and a touch on the scrawny side. She has shoulder-length hair cut in a bob, described as ash-blonde colored. (She dislikes the term "dishwater blonde" even though it's more accurate.) She wears a purple t-shirt, a brown fitted jacket, jeans, babydoll shoes, and a purple scarf. She wears glasses constantly and is quite attached to them.

Skills: Stealth- While by no means an expert, Mauve is good at being quiet and going unnoticed. Being scrawny helps.

Loyal- Mauve dislikes seeing others get hurt; especially friends. If you fall, she will come back for you. (Unless you've done something to piss her off recently, in which case you're on your own. :p )

Stun-and-Run: Mauve is built like a twig. She's not one for heavy lifting or throwing killer punches. But she learned a few basic self-defense tactics from her mom (her mom's an ex-cop from Chicago; true story). Most of them are of the stun-and-run variety (car keys are a very effective weapon!). No telling how useful these will be against enemies who don't feel pain, though.... Huh.

Quick Learner: She picks up new concepts and skills relatively quickly, and those she has trouble with she stubbornly pours over until she figures it out.

Sense of Direction: She has a good sense of direction, can read maps (dashboard GPS systems are for quitters), and doesn't get lost easily. That being said, actually getting lost terrifies her.

Improvised Blunt Weapons A-Go-Go, Baby!: If Mauve's learned anything from video games, it's that most problems can be solved by hitting things with blunt household objects until they stop being problems.


Flaws: Low Stamina: Mauve is not athletic. She is not muscular. She gets winded going up a flight of stairs. Good luck having her on your team.

Vision isn't important, right? Mauve is pretty nearsighted. If she loses her glasses she'll still be able to see the big picture (incoming zombies, friends and foes, buildings and stuff) but not the detailed stuff (being able to read street signs, pick out details from several feet away, etc).

Health problems: Mauve has to be careful how she moves. She has a connective tissue disorder that can cause her joints and lungs to hyper-extend and/or rupture. It is very, very painful and Mauve will try to avoid this at all costs. That means no crazy acrobatics for Mauve!

No real combat training of any kind: Aside from occasionally playing with a BB gun and a cheap child-size hunting bow (she didn't hunt; she shot styrofoam targets in her back yard) as a teenager, Mauve has never held or used a weapon of any kind, nor does she have any formal martial arts training. LOLOLOLOL UR TEAMMATE IS A NOOB


Items:
Purse: Mauve's a girl. It goes without saying that she has a purse. It contains a bunch of random junk including her phone (it has internet access!), a wallet (it has a driver's license, some cards, and absolutely no money in it!), a small bottle of tylenol (pills here!), car keys (for her car!), her sunglasses (they're prescription!) and some kind of small snack-food item (she gets hungry!).


Extra: Zombies used to terrify her, until she played Half-Life and Left4Dead. Bashing their brains in with a crowbar is a therapeutic way to conquer one's fears, I guess. Preeettty sure she's gonna go back to hating them now that they're real.

I say Mauve should be the team's cheerleader who preaches how we will win through the power of friendship.

And now I know how I am going to die in this here RP.
