I'm now the first person ever to say "marked" and then actually make a CS on this forum. Also, I was informed that I'd be given "the hottest redhead imaginable." I would like to request that, instead, I be given the cutest redhead imaginable. I like cute things more than hot things, and that's the main reason why I'm going to prison one day.
I'm assuming that the "abilities" section of the CS refers to talents and skills. If I'm wrong, please tell me and I'll revise that part of the CS.
Name: Adam Venthral
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Infected?: No.
Appearance - Physical: Adam is a man that, while young, has the look of an elder who's seen the world. His fair skin is home to several small scars littered about in various places. The most prominent scar is one that goes across the bridge of his nose horizontally, stopping on each side just below the start of his brown eyes, eyes that, while far from those usually attributed to blonde-haired people, still carry the blue of the ocean deep within.
He stands at a height of 5'8 and has an above average build, which is most apparent in his arms. While above average, however, it's fairly clear that he doesn't work out in a gym on the daily for the sole purpose of building muscle mass. His build is mostly a result of his line of work. Or, perhaps more accurately, his previous line of work. His hair is a dark brown color, medium length and stopping just at the end of his neck. Typically, his hair is kept away from his face and forehead, though a few strands of hair still escape such a formation and are left dangling at his forehead, above his eyebrows.
Clinging to his face is a short beard, a contrast to his hair being that it isn't very long or grown out. On the topic of his face, he seems to always have a solemn and calm expression, perhaps a testament to some form of inner peace. Or perhaps it's a guise, an expression worn by a man who sold the world, a man filled with some sort of anger at the world, and inner demons brought about by the world. A fine line is walked, then, by this man who is calm on the outside and full of rage within. The end of the world and order can change someone, and for Adam, it may not change him for the better and may be enough to push him over the edge.
Appearance - Apparel: As of now, Adam is wearing a comfortable, plain grey t-shirt and a pair of dark brown cargo pants. On his feet is a pair of black biker boots with a buckle at the ankle. These boots go up only a bit farther than his ankle. On his left wrist is a silver analog diver's wrist watch. The watchface and rotating bezel of the watch are black, while all the numbers and markings are white. On the back of the watch is an engraving that reads: "Take care of yourself! With love, your sister."
The most obvious part of his attire is a the very nice-looking black collarless leather biker jacket worn over his shirt, an article of clothing given to him as a gift from his sister for his 21st birthday. The zipper of the jacket isn't symmetrical, and is slightly to the right side of the jacket rather than being in the exact middle. There’s a pocket at the jacket’s left breast and on both sides of the jacket towards the bottom. Each of the pockets has a zipper of its own on it. On the jacket’s right breast is a picture of a grey and black globe, the black being the jacket itself. A diamond pattern arranged in a grid-like manner is on both shoulders, going down a bit to the bicep as well. This pattern is the same color as the rest of the jacket, the lines of the design being made through stitching. Typically, Adam wears this hand-made jacket fully zipped up. On the inside of the jacket, at the back, is written in light-grey ink: "For Adam: I'll always be with you. Don't forget to visit! With love, your sister."
Mutation: N/A
Abilities: Sailing, swimming, repairing his own motorcycle (he doesn't know his way around other vehicles very well, this skill was only learned for his own benefit), excellent navigator, able to handle melee weapons as a result of his build, somewhat proficient in firearms usage, and good at keeping his mouth shut.
Inventory: Black 2006 Harley Davidson FLHR Road King Motorcycle with two leather saddlebags, the watch given to him by his sister, a change of underwear, and his wallet with identification, a bit of cash, and a credit card. Repair tools are kept in one of his motorcycle saddlebags in case his motorcycle breaks down (or in case he needs to hit someone over the head with a blunt object).
Bio: It's certainly a rough world out there. Even still, no one should shy away from exploring that world. One of the most involved people in that school of thought is Adam Venthral.
Adam was born to a cruel family, who was almost as abusive as they were annoying. Every day consisted of dealing with tough love and public education. Adam never got along well with anyone in school, mainly because he wasn't very fond of conversation. With the majority of people, anyway. All humans need social contact, and Adam's form of social contact came from his loving little sister. They took care of each other, since their parents weren't very good at it, and spent most of the time talking to each other rather than to other people. Adam's sister was the only person that Adam could really care about. They'd often go out to the beach to relax and get away from the home. During one of these trips, Adam looked out to the ocean and to the horizon and decided he was going to sail out and see the world.
Adam's family had no money for college, and so, for a time, Adam was stuck as a salary man. He had aspirations of travelling out to sea, but no hope of making those dreams a reality. One day, Adam received a call from his sister, who was in her senior year of high school. Things were worse at home since Adam moved out to get an apartment and an office job. After some talking, his sister arrived at his apartment the next day. Adam continued his boring job, finding solace in returning home to his kind sister. One day, Adam returned home to what was perhaps the greatest gift from his sister. As it so happened, a Florida Senator that Adam's sister wrote to had taken pity upon Adam's life, and decided to help him fulfill his dream. The senator had given his approval for Adam to attend a government-funded maritime college, and Adam was off the next day. He left his apartment for his sister, who would go on to find work as the chef for a well-renowned restaurant.
Adam went through the maritime college, and during this time in college, his sister sent him a nice jacket. After graduating, he returned home to visit his sister. As she knew that Adam would spend much time at sea, she bought him a vehicle that could easily fit aboard a ship. That is, a 2006 Harley Davidson FLHR Road King motorcycle, with a nice black paint job. Adam spent a few months with his sister, before having to go off and find a job with his new education. He eventually found himself a job aboard a cargo ship. Going to a college that required a senator approval to attend meant that Adam could climb up the ranks on the ship quickly, becoming the captain at a young age. Whenever the ship stopped at a country, Adam would take out his motorcycle to explore, before returning to the ship for another trip out at sea.
As being out at sea could last several months, Adam was always given several months' vacation between working cargo at sea. During this particular vacation, Adam elected to travel the United States on the motorcycle bought for him by his loving sister. At the end of his trip, he planned to head to Florida for the remainder of his vacation to be with his sister. Though, things don't always go according to plan. Before Adam was done with his motorcycle trip, news of plant-people struck. As of now, Adam is taking shelter in a motel. But, he doesn't plan to wait this out. He worries about his sister. Soon enough, he'll be back out on the road. But this time, instead of watching for pedestrians, he'll be watching out for plant-people.
