Felix Normandy Holly Warwick Terrance "Terry" McCormick
Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2017 5:18 am
[PERSONAL INFORMATION] Username: VSG12
Name: Felix Normandy
Age: 26
Born: London, Great Britain
Role: Electrician
Personality/Mannerism: Rather laid-back and relaxed, he seldom speaks out unless necessary. He often spends time on his own, since he is rather introverted. He would much rather spend time on his porch with a cigarette and a smoke than go out for drinks with friends. The only thing he would spend time with his his trusted companion, Dusk. That isn't to say that if you engage in a conversation with Felix that he would ignore you, he just prefers to listen rather than speak. He is very independent and self-sufficient, seldom needing to ask for help and usually providing assistance to others around him. He is incredibly perceptive, to where it borderlines on empathic, knowing how someone is feeling or thinking based on facial expressions and body language. He is a loyal and dedicated person, showing this by protecting almost total strangers in a zombie apocalypse. He has a second sense in knowing which strangers to trust, something his comrades take to heart. Between him and Terrance, he is teased with being "more feminine" because he is merely more accepting of his emotions and doesn't bottle them in. His biggest flaw is that when he likes someone, he doesn't know how to act and often pushes that person away because of his nerves with the thought of them rejecting him.
Appearance:
[SUPPLIES AND WEAPONRY] Supplies: Sleeping Bag, Fireproof Blanket, Flashlight, Black Scarf, Box of matches, Longbeach Blues Cigarettes (40 pack), Black Jacket (tied at waist if not being worn), Work Gloves, Razor
Weaponry: β M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle β 380 Handguns (x3) β Molotov Cocktail Materials (empty wine glasses, ripped t-shirts, water bottle of gasoline, lighter) β Swiss Army Knife
[PERSONAL INTERESTS] Likes: ββΊ Smoking ββΊ Reading ββΊ Looking after Dawn ββΊ Rainy weather ββΊ Skittles
Dislikes: ββΊ Sour foods (lemon, warheads, lime, etc) ββΊ Hunting ββΊ Climbing (he has a fear of heights) ββΊ Pop Music ββΊ Dentists
[HISTORY] Friends: Holly Warwick Terrance McCormick Dawn (German Shepard/Husky)
Enemies: N/A
Romantic relationships: N/A
Background: Felix grew up in London, living with his parents until he was 25. He moved to the United States shortly after graduating from university, deciding on being an electrician while he tried getting into his dream career; being a psychiatrist. While it was hard for him to get into a psychology career, he was able to make money from his side job. He didn't make many friends, but Felix preferred being alone. At least, until the apocalypse. He managed to keep his canine companion, Dawn, close and sheltered from the zombies for a time. They fled from Trenton all the way to rural Indiana, only to discover that was where the outbreak occured. They have been on the run ever since.
When Felix encountered Holly and Terrance trying to hot-wire a car, he offered his help to them, and has been in a survival group with them ever since. He acts as the brains of the group, his psychology background and empathy guiding them from trusting the wrong people or making a bad decision. Dawn is also the senses that they lack; good hearing and a strong nose. She leads the way more often than not, keeping them from the pungent undead.
Personality/Mannerism: From a young age, all Holly wanted to do was to be a doctor. She worked hard, day and night, learning everything she could to get into medical school. Outgoing and passionate, she was always driven to pursue her dreams. While she seldom had time for socializing, due to her studies, she was always open and friendly with fellow students. She doesn't like being the silent one, she prefers controlling a conversation. She always has something to say, whether it be some medical treatment she recently learned, a patient she saved, or her favorite part of a movie she saw three weeks ago. She has a vast memory, almost perfectly photographic, and this lends in well with her profession. She can be seen as controlling, but this comes from her knowledge and her determination to save those around her. She can often take the reins to do what she knows is best, but she will usually come across as cocky when she does this. She can be emotionally fragile when confronted and needs assurances when she doubts herself and her abilities. If upset or angry, music is the only thing that can calm her down, especially instrumental artists (such as Lindsey Stirling, her favorite song being Gavi's Song). If she is in the middle of treating a patient, she can go from her outgoing, bubbly self, to a calm and collected mastermind in a matter of seconds.

[SUPPLIES AND WEAPONRY] Supplies: Medical Kit: Medical Mask, Gloves, Bandages, Surgical Tools (Needle, Stitching Thread, Chisel, Scissors, Scalpel, Forceps, Syringe, etc), Tourniquet, Pain Medication, Non-inflammatory Medication, Antibiotic Cream, Rubbing Alcohol/Peroxide, Thermometer, Cloth, Tweezers, Quick-Freeze Ice Pack (x4), Safety Pins, Wrappings, & Spray Band-aid. Other: Zip Lock Bags, Cardigan wrapped around waist, grey hoodie (in bag), hand towel, Bug Spray, Sunscreen, Feminine Hygiene Products, Radio, Spare Batteries, & Pocket Knife
Weaponry: β Small Handgun β Machete
[PERSONAL INTERESTS] Likes: ββΊ Playing the piano ββΊ Socializing ββΊ Listening to the radio ββΊ Hiking ββΊ Medical procedures and lectures
Dislikes: ββΊ Being in one place for too long ββΊ Silence ββΊ Not having an answer to something ββΊ Feeling she is weak because she lacks fighting knowledge and weaponry skills ββΊ Sexism
[HISTORY] Friends: Felix Normandy Terrance McCormick
Enemies: N/A
Romantic relationships: N/A
Background: Holly grew up in a large family, with 9 siblings to compete with and she was the youngest. While most went into politics or business, she was driven to the medical field. Raised by a single mother with a busy schedule, Holly knew how hard it would be, but she was ambitious and determined. After graduating from medical school and earning her right as a ER doctor, she felt like she could begin making her changes on the world. Her memory skills made her a doctor that was often asked for, which pleased her. She was still in her New Orleans Hospital when the virus struck. She was treating several patients in quarantine and has stepped out, only to witness one patient tearing into one of her colleges. She was helpless to save them or fight back, but she knew she was useful to someone.
On the run, Holly was always escaping death by the skin of her teeth. When Terrance saved her, he stuck by her, knowing her medical skills were of value while out in the open. She was thankful to have someone to watch her back, but still felt like she was out of place because of her lack of fighting ability. Given basic training in firearms by Terrance, she still knows it's not enough to stand on her own. She was glad when Felix was added into the group, because he had some gun knowledge that was useful to Terrance.
Personality/Mannerism: The biggest word to describe Terrance would be protector. Confident and respectful, he won't back down from a fight and doesn't tolerate anyone being verbally or physically abused. He seems like a towering giant, capable of beating up anyone and everyone, but deep down he is a caring man. Many people close to him call him a Gentle Giant. He can be as aggressive as a bear when provoked, fighting to the death to ensure that no harm comes to him or those close to him. He knows exactly how to carry himself and uses the skills he's learnt in the military to keep himself alive. He can be very direct and blunt to the point it's borderline rude. He rarely shows his true feelings, seeing it as a weakness to break in front of others, but there are times when it is apparent he is breaking from something. That something is the loss of his wife, Andrea, from zombies.
Appearance:
[SUPPLIES AND WEAPONRY] Supplies: Flares, Camo jacket (tied to waist if not in use), Binoculars, Packs of military-grade ammunition, hatchet, compass, rope, tent, & gas mask
Weaponry: β M17 NATO pistol β M16 assult rifle β M26 MASS 12-gauge shotgun β Hand grenades β Smoke grenades β Flash bombs
[PERSONAL INTERESTS] Likes: ββΊ Exercising ββΊ Jogging ββΊ The occasional drink of Jack Daniel's and coke ββΊ Mornings ββΊ Dogs
Dislikes: ββΊ Smoking ββΊ Excessive, mindless chatter ββΊ Losing his dog-tags (one has his wife's name on it) ββΊ Sweets ββΊ People who break the law
[HISTORY] Friends: Felix Normandy Holly Warwick
Enemies: N/A
Romantic relationships: Andrea McCormick
Background: Born and raised in a Texan military house-hold, it was no surprise he enlisted into the army from a young age. Terry excelled in everything that was thrown at him, surpassing everything people thought he was capable of. He liked pushing the barriers, going past the limits he thought he was restricted by. When he was away from the front lines and back in his home town of Houston, he met and fell in love with Andrea Fredricks. The two later married and were going to settle down and have a family of their own when the zombie outbreak took it's toll on the country. Terrance was able to secure the home well enough, but other survivors broke in and stole their supplies and food. This forced Terry to leave Andrea in the home to scavenge for more goods to stock up. By the time he came home, Andrea was bitten and had hung herself to spare her from turning. He was a broken man from that point on.
Leaving Texas and moving north-east, he encountered Holly as she was in need of saving. Seeing someone, a woman in need of protection, he saw a little piece of Andrea in Holly and didn't want to leave her alone. He is highly protective of her, and Felix in a way, and acts as the fatherly brawns of the group. Holly acts as the heart of the group, offering the tender touch that has been missing for so long.
