User name: Odysseas
Character name: Odysseas Dallas
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Appearance: Ody stands 5'10", with broad shoulders and a somewhat heavy, though not very muscled, build. His tanned, greek-looking face sports a close-cropped beard and he wears his black hair long, often in a ponytail. He's usually wearing black trousers, black leather steel-toed boots, and often wears a leather trenchcoat buttoned up, with plastic elbow, knee and wrist pads over it. He often wears his black biker's helmet to protect his head.
Personality: Usually cheery and flippant, he's become rather more cynical now that he's trying to survive, stranded in this damn end of the world. He's really eager to find a way to return home, however, and find out how his loved ones are doing.
Profession: Computer Science Student/Western Martial Artist
Skills:Some knowledge with computers, medieval swordsmanship, daggerfighting and wrestling.
Weapon(s): 1.
Blunt b*****d Sword. This 42" longsword with the 33" blade weighs 3 pounds and is well-balanced. Even though it's blunt, it's not rebated and its somewhat honed edge can easily cleave through skulls and it has no problem thrusting through most targets, but it can't cut flesh and limbs in half. He's currently looking for a way to sharpen it. It's often carried in a baldric, hanging down his left side.
2.
Kitchen Knife. This is a simple kitchen knife with an 8" blade that he uses as a secondary and a quick-draw weapon. Since he wears a belt over his trenchcoat, it's often stuffed there.
Armor:1.
Leather Trenchcoat: This fashion accessory he brought from home over for his visit. It's mid-calf long, and the soft leather offers some protection from zombie bites and scratches. The armpits are torn since they restricted his movements, but otherwise the sleeves are fine. It's often buttoned up to protect his front.
2.
Elbow, wrist and knee pads: These rollerskater pads, once part of his sparring gear, are now worn over his leather trenchcoat to afford him some extra protection without limiting mobility.
3.
Biker's Helmet: A sturdy, black flip-up biker's helmet, which is handy for protecting his face from zombie bites and slashes, AND keeping the blood away from his face as well. He's used to breathing inside it, but not for long.
Possessions: Hiker's backpack (grey-yellow motif) holding some 30 liters of stuff, two water bottles, various snacks.
Bio:Odysseas was a university student back in his home country, who fervently practiced western martial arts and swordsmanship in particular. He lived alone with his girlfriend in Athens, the capital of Greece, but a week before the initial attacks he was in a small American town, visiting an ARMA study group with some members of his own. When the disaster happened, he was quick to grab his stuff, as if trained by thousands of horror movies. He picked up his sword, donned his 'armor' and put on a biker's helmet he found to kick some zombie a**. Except he didn't expect things to go that bad. He doesn't know how bad things are at home, and he's doing his best to find a way to return there.
