Role: Vortigaunt
Character name: Cha'Uhn
Character age: 29
Backstory: (Doesn't need to be very long)

Freshly spawned to Xen slid into shackles of the oppressor he worked us tirelessly and we never truly understood freedom but we thirsted for it. This was not home it was merely a spot where their eyes could not gaze for now no issues to be made for now. When the chance to jump to a new world to yet again evade a threat was offered there was little choice but to agree to blast through what layed beyond the veil to deceive and fool these shackles into thinking us complacent.

When one of these creatures however cracked our shackles our selfish realization came to fruition, but with the damage done what else could we do? Hide in the underbelly for now avoid the ire of the enslavers until we can come up with a true plan to keep this freedom and perhaps apologize to these strange creatures we now reside with.

Currently imprisoned in Green Haven Correctional Facility, Medium Security Block. Estimated time of release - 2025. Chance of parole is unlikely, but not impossible.

Diagnosed with early-onset schizophrenia. Recommended to be kept on antipsychotics until a transfer to an appropriate facility is finalized.



Brooklyn.jpg
Having crawled to shore after the storm, Autumn finds himself alone and unarmed. After getting his bearings, he realizes that he's in Brooklyn - the place he first met his wife.

Could it be that she's in here, somehow? Or has he truly lost his mind? The memories of the phonecall and the letter fight for validity. All he knows is that he simply can't give up now...

Role: Firefighter
Character name: Henry Ross
Character age: 38
Backstory: (Doesn't need to be very long)

As a young kid, he wanted to be a firefighter and while others found a different career to pursue, Henry decided after finishing High school to try to apply at his local station, maybe just for a couple years while he figured out what he wanted in life.

Now 38 years old, and with a coffee addiction, he has seen and done it all, or at least that was what he thought until today, now the axe he has used to save so many lives is a weapon, and fires are of the least concern.

Role
: Firefighter
Character name: Josh Jones
Character age: 32

Josh Jones, born in 1969,Pittsburgh, grew up in wilkinsburg streets, in a family with a problematic alcoholic father, in a modest house.

At 8 years old a tragic event happened: A fire started inside his house and slowly consumed the house while his mom was doing house chores, his dad was busy drinking and he was inside his room doing homework in a cloudy evening. No one noticed it until it was too late. After hearing strange noises, he tries to leave his room but as soon as he opens the door, a dark smoke and a overwhelming heat invade his room - he is trapped inside. The fire is slowly consuming the room and he is curled in a corner, crying, when a firefighter sundenly appears on the window calling for him. He goes to the window and the firefighter manages to snatch him and bring him to safety, carrying the crying child away.
As the firefighter brings him to the firetruck to get checked, the then 8 year old josh hears his father saying: " I wish it was the idiot instead of my wife!" while burping and crying. Later,he would find out that his mother had died in the fire inside his kitchen while preparing dinner.

As a broken teen in almost homeless state, he was determined to prove to his father he wasnt useless and graduated high school with great grades. Even so, his father ignored the feat from his son.

After a few years of working at the local macdonalds, he stores enough money to abandon his father and move to new york, in a miniscule apartement, where he then worked to become his heroes, the firefighters. After a bunch of different exams, he manages to pass all of them and at 24 he joins the new york fire department, where he still works.


NOTE:

I might change my character to the prison guard i played in malefactor, but im still not sure of it (and probably will not change).

Role:
Hotel Resident

Character name:
Bogdan Cieslinski

Character age:
21

Backstory:

He was born in Poland, and throughout his childhood, he helped out his father with work at what remained of the Soviet State Agricultural Farm, where he learned a handful of skills and grew in strength. As he grew older, his favourite subject in high school was his country’s history, which fascinated him, hes also learned to speak English, though with a hard, ridiculous accent.


After he graduated, an opportunity opened up for him to study abroad. Wishing to see more of the world, he enrolled at a university in the USA and bid farewell to his relatives as he set out on a ship.


Due to meteorological circumstances, his flight ended in New York, and he was forced to stay in a hotel before the next flight—a flight that would never take place.

Role: Paramedic
Character name: Amelia Edwards
Character age: 23
Backstory:

Amelia is average girl that never really stood out from the crowd. She graduated school without issues, had a small circle of friends she hanged out with after class, never got into trouble with the school or the law. And honestly? She liked it that way.

Staying back, acting when opportunity presented itself, it always got her what she wanted. She lived most of her life in a not so quiet neighbourhood, not gang ridden but still, not the best place one could pick to grow up in. Her mother always used to say „you stay away from trouble and you live longer” and she did her best to live by that rule, only acting when its safe, when she can be sure she has the right cards.

Sadly life doesn’t always play fair, shortly after she finished high school she and her mom got into a car accident. Something she couldn’t predict, after all you can’t outsmart an SUV t-boning your car. Luckily for her a fire engine that was just returning from a false call and being in the passenger seat allowed her to receive help quickly and survive. Same couldn’t be said about her mother who passed away at the scene.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she was saved by the NYFD, not only in literal sense, since she had to be cut out of the car, but also due to the support they offered her after the accident. It certainly was more than her father could ever provide her, being a depressed drunk who would always spend all of his money on booze. She wanted to be better than that, to become someone in life, take pride in what she does.

So she decided to take tests to become a paramedic. It wasn’t easy but she managed, she always finds a way to get what she wants after all. Now Amelia finds herself in the middle of the end of the world, will she manage to once again get her way and survive? That remains to be seen.

Role: Malefactor Escapee
Character name: Henry Clairston
Character age: Twenty-Six
Backstory:



1748656321646.png
Damned mooks. Nothin' went right. One slip, one little push the wrong way and ya end up forever on ya back. Dad told me that, and once again, he was right. One misplaced bribe - that's all it took. Now, I'm just about dead. Not so sure he meant it in that way, but hell, we've always been all business. Without it, may as well be dead, eh?

Except...nah. Not really. I'm hearin' what's goin' on, caught and rested between brambles on the shoreline. Pain launchin' across my chest, makin' the world almost sound submerged. Water in my ear ain't helpin' that. Right now, couldn' care less about the corporation.

Don' know where the others are. Don't...remember much actually. Got hurt. Am hurt. Next thing I know, I'm in the water. Figured drownin' wouldn't much help my sitch - so I started swimmin'. Got some handouts...handouts...what a day. Mike guy, well shit, gifted them to me. Dunno if I like him. Sure can't say I don' like him right now. He's gone though, so it's all I got. Maybe money losin' its value fast. Gotta move quick if so.

Couple a' hours ago, it was sirens. Wailing over and over. Howlin' at an obscured moon for darin' not to show its face. Thought they made it all sound real bad, echoin' across The City like that. But nah. Now they're gone and I realize their absence speakin' far louder than they could. It's gettin' worse.

Gunshots still goin', they haven' stopped so much, yeah? Good and bad. Means people. People are mooks though, an' I wouldn' be trustin' me if I came across myself, ya know? But there's worse than people out there...that I also know. Can see it. Night ain't even so dark with that lightshow in the sky. Some...whirlpool of energy? Black-hole? I dunno...coulda' gone without havin' to know.

Too late for that now. Gotta keep goin'. There's a way outta this mess. Just gotta play nice with the commoners...should be enough...should be.

Role:
Paramedic
Character name: Ryan Czerniak.
Character age: 29.
Backstory:

Ryan Czerniak is a pretty run of the mill paramedic, ditching a job as a shelf stacker at a hardware store in his teens to go to community college for a few years to get the correct qualifications to become an EMT after desiring a change in career, starting off as a dispatcher before becoming a fully-fledged EMT. Although, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows as he was immediately put on the worst shifts, ruining his family life, sleep schedule and any chance of finding a girlfriend (not that he was going to get one anyway). He was noted by his co-workers to always show up on work at time, always had spare cigarettes but always forgot his lunch. He wasn’t anything special apart from that and kept his head down to keep his job.



He did nothing too special or standout for the first few years, but coming up to the current date, was under investigation for being a little too liberal with usage of nitrous oxide and potentially making a profit on it. Hypothetically. Due to short staffing, he was allowed to continue working as per usual but has (or had) a disciplinary hearing upcoming regarding this. Maybe the portal storms are a lucky break for him. Maybe not. Who knows. On the fateful day, him and his partner Amelia were responding to a call of someone who broke their leg after falling out a tree a considerable length from the hospital, and halfway enroute to the patient, a large blast of energy caused them to take cover in a warehouse. He’s not too happy about this, obviously.

He was promoted fast, and not without reasons. He was skilled but reckless. A hotshot, until his father had a heart attack in June, 2000. After that the job was never the same. Now a Lieutenant commanding his own engine, he has lost his edge, and just when the unthinkable happens.

Role: Malefactors Transfer
Character name: Serval Wesson
Character age: 35 years old
Backstory: Born in February 8th 1966 in Kentucky, Richmond to a family of a restaurant owners. Serval has been a rather "shady" person since his early days (16-24), despite his quite successful and promising cooking skills, and slight career at both his Parents' business, and a restaurant named "Kentucky Keeps", as a Cook. However, his real notoriety came from his constant thievery, both petty theft and more serious type, which caused numerous issues to himself and his parents. Eventually, at 24~ years old, and being thrown out of his home, Serval had to seek out a new place to settle in. Which did not last long, as upon arriving into NYC and attempting to sell a stolen car, he got put into prison... As a chef... Which surprisingly, did not last long either...

The storms, aliens and earthquakes are what set him and his fellow inmates to freedom! They got out, found tools and a bus, and made their way out into the Coast, where a evacuation ship resided, which got them out... And into the unknown, but better than where they were.



Role-specific question(s) (if applicable):

Was your character a guard, doctor, inmate, or the warden? - He was a inmate chef, one of the two present at the prison. He got away out of the prison, upon the storms and the wall breaking. Then the bus and the boat.

If your character is a guard, what is their rank? - N/A
