Bio: Gianna grew up in Jersey Shore, New Jersey, and was the "princess" of her family. However, after the fall, and the loss of her family, Gianna has needed to learn how to defend herself, as well as others. Despite this, Gianna still has mainly remained the slightly bratty teenager, she was before the fall, but is perhaps somewhat more accustomed to the ways of the world.

Bio: Doc was working as a surgeon in a hospital when it happened. The bodies in the morgue they... they just got back up and started eating everyone.

He can't remember how he got out. It was chaos. People running and screaming and all the blood... but he knows a lot of people - his patients, his colleagues, his friends - didn't make it with him.

He wandered for a time, helping keep the groups he was with healthy, until he came across the group he's with now.

I think that maybe the Doc and Jason could have some ties, having met in another group, should Glacies agree.

Edit for trauma kit

'Nother edit for ammo...

Name: Johnson Holiday
Profile: Lawman
Survivor Type: Heroic
Look: ((Base)) A rugged looking, tall and lean, state trooper's uniform.
((Detail)) The apocalypse has been hard on Officer Holiday, and it shows. Naturally, shaving is not much a priority at this point, leaving him with permanent brown stubble and unkempt brown hair. His dark eyes, while not at the point of a thousand-yard stare, have their share of hardship in them. Even his cloths are beat up, with his sturdy trooper uniform dotted with damage and stains. He typically wears a cowboy hat, with less visible damage but just as much wear. Notably, on his left arm is an American Flag bandanna with "Holiday" written on it in sharpie being worn as an arm-band. It is currently worn upside-down, with the letters and what is visible of the flag being inverted. This had been used as a "Dog-Tag" in his first group, with every survivor being issued one as a uniform, serving a practical purpose to show who's body is who without having to get close.

Bio: ((WIP, got classes soon...))
Johnny Holiday was a "First Responder", one of the officers on duty when the initial calls came in. He didn't know what he was getting into at the time, things quickly fell apart afterwords. Not just for him, but the world. Trying to stop the chaos as the world fell apart was a futile task, let alone trying to stop the Rotters once the nations where gone.  Once he realized this wasn't something he and his buddies could prevent with a shotgun, he formed a group with them for some time, taking in survivors from around the state. His early experiences with the Rotters traumatized him somewhat, not helped by the loss of his young wife and baby daughter in the chaos before hand. While he still shows bravery in his every day life, fighting off single rotters or small groups without showing noticeable fear, large groups leave him sweating and pulling at his collar, often ending when he does his best to get himself away. His initial group was working well, until a large group of Rotters hit it. It was gradual, one minute he was plugging badguys, the next there was more, then more, then more...He ended up panicking, retreating and leaving the group. Ashamed of his cowardice, he began wondering alone.

Making a character. Any other stat we need?

[GiglameshDespair]

We could probably do with someone really good at scavenging.

[Twinwolf]

Any "archetype" that fits that?

EDIT: Currently, I'm thinking going with The Nurse or The Reporter, but I noticed "The Vagrant" is good at scavenging. Hm.

Alright, updated.

Mostly, I just think it is more interesting to say the model name rather than leaving it as a generic "Shotgun"  . Personally, I would choose the classic Winchester Model 1897 for him. Its reliable, sturdy, capable of being slam-fired, and can take a bayonet. Perfect post-apocalyptic shotgun! Not that I would expect any of that to be shown in-game.

Back to the OP, you said you where trying out some game systems. Have you looked into any more "General" ones? GURPS is supposed to be good, and I am a fan of D100 style games myself.

Yup, vagrant seems good at scavenging. Hobo power.

How about Jason and Doc were at the same hospital when the fall started. Jason was doing a medical internship under Doc. The two of them stayed in the hospital as the situation across town deteriorated. The hospital was flooded with the injured and beseiged by the rotters. They probably would have succumbed under the pressure but a government militia helicoptered them out - and then they were forced to work for this militia as it went downhill from trying to keep the government intact, to trying to stay alive - until finally the Militia became a tribal despotism of sorts. Doc and Jason escape together, smuggled out in a caravan. There they met some sort of scavenger character, perhaps the vagrant? Or some other party members. The Caravan went west, but steadily lost members from the rotter attrition. Maybe the group they originally escaped from holds a grudge against Doc and Jason. Maybe they failed to save one of the warlord's loved ones. At any rate, by the time the Caravan made it to the west coast, it was battered to pieces and what was left joined up with the other characters.

Does this work? I'm being very sparse with the details.

Mechanics of the character. Anyone want to have any ties to her? I wanted to ask before writing the bio so I could take it into account.

Want to be part of the hypothetical caravan Doc and Jason set up with?

[Twinwolf]

Sure, it works. Although that assumes that Dwarmin will approve the whole caravan thing, so I'll wait on their say.
