The Nuclear Effect: PLANNING PAGE

[Skele Von Mann]

“Isn't that strange, reminds me of a time I took a mountainous route...."
“Trading inefficient? Too bad, that's the only thing I've ever done.”

-Tero

Name: Santiago Montero
Gender: Male
Age: 36
Genome: Human
Sub-Genome: N/A
Alignment: True Neutral -Neutral Good
Personality: To say he has a personality is like saying a rock does. Santiago is (some would say unnervingly) calm and composed at all times. The reason for this is because as a trader, he's more than frequently involved in constant travels, life and death situations every so often, and interactions with all sorts of Infected and Ovelon, causing him to be desensitized to surprising or odd events.

That doesn't mean he's heartless and only looking for a profit, he often tries to help to the best of his abilities if trouble comes along his way. And more than he would like, he occasionally passes over a profit if he's morally against it, such as slavery. Unlike most humans, he doesn't care about whether or not one's a mutant, unless of course he gets attacked by one. He isn't completely nice though, he's prepared to use lethal force if diplomacy doesn't work, and may do morally questionable things if he feels that there's no other way.

He also does have a sense of humor. He may respond to inane questions in a more (if that's even possible) deadpan manner, and has a love for puns. He also enjoys exaggerating his stories, or making one up if he can think of something interesting

He doesn't have much to live for, and knows it. Most of his life was just trading and learning the various skills needed to. Other than his bodyguard, Montero has no one, not even a living relative as a close contact. So part of the reason why he continues is just finding a goal, or perhaps, that is the goal; a never ending pursuit of life.

When talking to him, be sure to change the subject if he brings up a story, as it's one of the few things he enjoys, and so he'll go on for a very long time.

History: What's to say about Santiago? As a child, he was taken to every location with at least a dozen people for bartering goods. His father taught him the normal routes and how to survive the bad lands, while his mother taught him the economics of being a merchant. Eventually, he was ready to go solo, around the same time that his parents were unable to travel and so settled down in a small village.

He did reasonably well. He lost money due to disasters, gained it when the next city has a shortage of something he has stockpiled, and so on. He eventually met his future bodyguard in a very difficult spot. Surrounded by infected, he took down six, and would've been eaten by the others if it weren't for a mysterious cloaked person aiding him at the last second. Since then, they had a couple of encounters, in danger or not, until one day he decided to hire him/her.

Nowadays, he primarily stays in a village close to Metropolis and occasionally goes trading every so often.

Appearance: His skin is pale, and his half-closed eyes are grey. His brown-ish hair is tied up in a small ponytail, and he has a 6 o' clock shadow on his face. He has a small diagonal scar on the lower left side of his neck, and a horizontal one on his chin, which his stubble hides. Physically, he's 6'1 with a skinny build, and with a bit of a belly.

On his bottom half, he wears brown cargo pants,brown leather boots with long black socks, and has a gun holster on his right leg. For the top half, he wears a white long-sleeved shirt with a brown vest over it on normal days, and a cloak over on cold or whenever he feels like it. He may switch it out for a dark blue overcoat and light-green military fatigues if he feels that he's in danger when travelling. For accessories, he wears a compass/whistle/thermometer hybrid on a chain around his neck.

He carries himself in a surprisingly confidant fashion, although upon stopping, Santiago quickly goes into a more relaxed pose.

Distinguishing Features: He carries a old revolver, six shots, and happens to be a decent shot with it. Another weapon he has is his own bodyguard, who hasn't actually given a name to him, so Santiago decided to call him/her (he still doesn't know, and doesn't bother to find out) “Tero” out of his surname. Tero isn't given a profile because it doesn't display a personality despite devout loyalty towards Santiago, and above average (one could say super-human) fighting skills. It doesn't even talk. Tero is 5'10, and is completely covered in brown fatigues, and over that a hoodie with a balaclava and goggles underneath. And above that is a brown duster. Tero usually wields a hunting rifle, a submachine gun in case of infected crowds, and a bowie knife for hand to hand.

[CoarseDragon]

Name: Ian (formerly Dr. Ian Von Insulong)
Gender: Appears to be male
Age: Appears middle-aged
Genome: Altered humanoid
Sub-Genome: Ponginae
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Personality: Solitary, not easily bothered unless feeding. Will use any available means, including killing, to protect what he considers to be a good food source. Normally friendly but not outgoing he will protect those he considers friends to the death.

History: Doctor Insulong was in the process of studing Orangutan genes for the military for purposes of enhancing human strength. Having synthesized what he thought were the proper genes there only needed to be a test subject. Ian decided to try a very small dose on himself. A short time later radiation leaks into the lab fused the Human and Orangutan genes resulting in an alteration to the doctor's human form.

Appearance: 5'6" tall; weight #200. 90% of the Doctors body is covered in thick redish coarse hair. Arms are longer than normal and the legs are shorter than normal.

Distinguishing Features: The head and face area still appear generally human but the body appears more ape-like than human. Possess incredible strength which not only allows for excellent brachiation, carrying very heavy loads, but also for dealing tremendious physical damage. Deceptively fast for his size.
