Awesome character

Is there a character limit. Have a couple ideas floating around, one character intense, one mellow. Can combine personalities, but if you are cool with it, could write two characters.

Go wild with it! Do as many as you'd like to keep up with it.

I'm kinda interested.

[bluemoon]

Are the infected killed easily--like a normal human? And how much of the fluid that they spew does it take to infect? (Or does it need to get into to a mucus membrane, such as the eyes, nose, or mouth?) Does their blood carry the infection also?

Hah--I lied--I do have more questions!

LET THE STORY BEGIN

@bluemoon, To answer your questions:

1. The infected are just as easy to kill as your average person. While they don't feel pain, they are still affected by injuries. A crushed skull will kill one, of course- but even further, if a puncture in the cardioid comes off, they will 'bleed out' pretty quickly.
2. About infection, its mainly done by ingestion of any sort of bodily fluid. Getting it in a wound will do it as well- anything that gets it in the bloodstream. As for how much, well- only a drop.

As for RP of the week, I'll see if I can't make the posts needed to get this out there. It sounds like fun; and thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Spoiler: Melanie Chin - Infectious Disease Specialist 

Name: Melanie Chin

Age: 34

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Spoiler: Melanie 

Melanie is 5’6” with brunette hair and chocolate brown eyes with an athletic build.
Despite the circumstances, Melanie would often be seen in work or comfortable attire.

Equipment: Medical kit including sample swabs/tubes, antibiotic injections, gloves, standard first aid supplies; ground down pipe to a make shift knife in a crafted sheath; 5 foot metal rod used as a walking stick/fighting staff when confronted by unfriendlies; tranq dart gun loaded with the latest experimental serum to test effectiveness against the dangerous ones.

Useful Skills: Melanie worked in the infectious disease control division of the CDC and later the space program. She has a Doctorate in Infectious Disease Control and spent her residency at the Mayo Clinic and her Infectious Disease Fellowship with the CDC before being heavily recruited for the Saturn Program.

Personality: Melanie is friendly and outgoing. She is always ready to talk to people and help out with whatever projects are planned out. She spends time looking for ways to combat the pathogen that infects those which are transformed. Her philosophy is any living thing could be killed, so with this organism that infects the crew, only time and experimentation will finalize this outbreak. That is her ray of hope she clings to in this abandoned station.

Backstory:

Other/Things to Know: Melanie often follows those that venture out outside what is considered safe areas while on supply runs. She is always ready to try her newest serums on the infected to see if there is any reaction. If no reaction and she is attacked, decapitation followed by blood and tissue samples to take back to her makeshift lab usually follows.

Spoiler: Kara 

Name: Kara (K.D.) Dayton

Age: 27

Gender: female

Appearance: Standing a little shy of 5'5" and very slender, Kara appears diminutive compared to other girls her height...her preference for black clothing only accentuating this fact. Although rather thin, she is toned from long hours of aerobic training, her strength minimal, but her endurance taking up the slack. Pretty, in an abstract way, her expressive blue-grey eyes are her best feature. With an angular face, just a tad shy of being gaunt, full lips, and slightly large nose, she is not the picture of beauty she might have been before this horrific event took the healthy glow and twenty pounds from her petite frame.

Equipment: Kara always has a supply of collection bags and containers on her person, as well as the necessary gloves and facemask for obtaining 'hot' samples. A small kit carried at her waist contains a scalpel handle with blade, forceps, and hemostats. For protection, she has a folding pocket knife and a home made spear constructed from a long wooden handle with a fixed blade attached.

Useful Skills: Kara is a biologist and performed the daily water testing at the purification plant prior to the outbreak. It was her team which originally put out the warning in regards to the suspected contaminant in the water. Her skillset lies within the cellular structure of things--both plant and animal--on a microscopic level.

Personality: Kara is not the most outgoing person, tending to stay by herself unless approached. She is most at home in a lab and the close quarters of her new 'home' and all the other survivors are a bit suffocating to her. She is more likely to brood then lose her temper, her emotions quite often kept at bay.

Backstory: Kara came to the Halcyon Purification Center shortly after its formation. Her life in ruins, she chose to work at the station to get away from the shambles her life had become. A torrid love affair destroyed her marriage, lost her her dream job, and left her with nothing but an addiction to alcohol. She was destitute and wanted to get away from anything that reminded her of home. She got more than she wished for...

The outbreak destroyed what little faith she had left in humanity. Her team's warnings were ignored and eventually the station's staff fell ill with an infection. Quarantine did little to help and with all transmissions and travel ignored or halted, there was little to do but survive day to day.

Other: Kara frequently goes out on the supply runs...anything to get away from the claustrophobic feeling that ensnares her in such close quarters.

Wow, this looks interesting! I better get to work on my character sheet...

[Stockholm]

I look forward to seeing all of the incoming CS's. Hopefully, we will make a big, happy post-apocalyptic crew!

@bluemoon, I tip my hat to you- welcome to the Redlight Crew! Your character is accepted and I think I will make a rather simple catalogue of accepted characters. Looking forward to this!
