Name: Austin Murphy
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Town: Dubois, PA
Former Occupation: Student/ Army Officer Candidate
Height: 5’11
Ethnicity/Skin Tone: Caucasian
Hair: Short Dark Brown Hair with a beard starting to grow.
Eyes: Hazel
Clothing Choice: On his head, he wears a camo boonie hat and black sunglasses. Covering his chest, he wears a black shirt that reads “Army Rangers” on the left side on the front and a skull with a Camo Patrol Cap with crossed M16s on the back, which is covered by a tan combat vest. For his legs, he wears camouflage pants and tan combat boots. His weapon of choice is an AK47 which he modified (Once a semi-auto civilian model now fires 600-700 rounds per minute with an ACOG sight) and a crowbar.
Personality: Austin is generally a friendly person. Despite his tough man outer appearance, he is more likely try to ally with strangers than try to create enemies with them. He’s also a gun nut. He loves firearms; from .45 caliber pistols to heavy machine guns, he can identify almost any gun and can operate them with great proficiency. He’s also a nerd who will make references from video games to internet memes to even historical events. It is his nerdy characteristics that prepared him for the zombie apocalypse, for he carries a copy of Max Brooks’ Zombie Survival Guide on himself all the time (even though he made some changes to it). While calm most of the time, he is sometimes impulsive and might get distracted.
Strengths: Because of he’s such a nice guy; he tries to get along with everyone, even those who aren’t well liked in the group. He’s willing to play as a compromiser, for he understands that if the group is divided, they will fall. Because of his love of guns and his experience with them, he’s an excellent marksman. But on top of that with his excellent hand-on learning, he can be qualified to be a gunsmith: able to clean them, fix them, and even modify them. He’s also a quick thinker, thus he can swiftly react in any situation. Lastly, because he has fought the infected since day one, he has plenty experience.
Faults: Because he’s such nice guy, he’s also naive. So, he can sometimes be taken advantage of. He is also a know it all. While correcting someone is nice once in a while, it can also be annoying especially if it’s a small detail. His occasional impulsive behavior can make him forget his objective and wonder off, causing trouble for the group. For example, you may ask him to get some food and be back in 15 minutes, but he comes back 20 minutes late with his clothes all torn up and blood-stained with only a case of good old fashion cola. Lastly and strangely, he has a dislike towards blood and gore. Despite his obsession with weapons, zombies, and video games, he doesn’t like the sight of blood (kind of like General U.S. Grant). It doesn’t prevent him from killing, but it still makes him hesitate from killing up close. It also makes it difficult for him to heal teammates with gruesome wounds.
Sample Post: In the abandoned wasted streets of Pittsburgh, the roar of thunder from a Harley Davidson comes zipping through the dead static cars that waste the road. The traffic poses no delay from the man on the bike. Nor, do the infected that chase iron horseman. Still, the man is always on guard for these “brainless” foes always seem to find a way to trick this lone survivor.
Leering at the biker, overhead was a tall lurky creature with long tentacles dripping from its face. This smoker took careful aim and launched his mutated tongue at the young man. The rope made of soggy tissue wrapped itself around the man, pulling him off his bike and straight to a 10 story building.
The survivor knows he is in trouble, as the amount of air in his lungs was running out from the long muscle that was crushing his chest. He slowly rising up the building as the smoker continued to lynch the lone human. The man needed to act swiftly, so he tried to reach for his top right pocket on his combat vest. He opened it up and reached for his prize: a red Swiss Army knife. Using his free hand, he opened up the blade and cut the slimy rope. Success the man achieved, even though he fell 3 stories. Still, with only a few scrapes, he recovered from the slight drop.
The smoker was still standing there, still dumb-struck a what just happen. A human was able to break through his slimy grip. In dismay, the tall deform fell, as a 7.62 round cracked through the air, hitting it in its skull, and puffing up smoke like a puffball mushroom.
Notes: He went to the same college as Zoey, so he knows her. He also met, for a short while, Francis 3 years ago at a motorcycle convention that his father brought him to.
