| The Basics Name: Simon Hopkins Age: 20 Birthdate: 10-24 Gender: Male Sexual Orientation: None The Extras Profession: College Student, Landscaper Special Characteristics: - Brother's Farewell Gift:
Name: Brother's Farewell Gift Tier: 4 Stat(s) Boosted: Strength, Speed, Endurance, Reflexes, Perception +3 Description: Ghost's brother Alvin was in the military. When their parents died and shortly before he was sent back to service, as a way to prepare Ghost for the world - and also as a coping mechanism for the loss - Alvin began to train Ghost, pounding skills and knowledge into his body.
Conditioned Body: Ghost can run, fight, and be engaged in strenuous activities far longer than regular folk. Because of Alvin's harsh training regimen, he can withstand blows and impacts that would seriously injure ordinary people. Ghost can train and become stronger in a short amount of time (50% less word counts to train).
Fighting: Ghost is an expert in CQC, (Close Quarters Combat) able to quickly neutralize or dispatch potential enemies.
Guns: Ghost knows how to use and repair guns (Pistols and Rifles) He can take a broken gun and repair it back to perfect working condition, provided he has the right tools to do so.
Explosives: Ghost can combine ordinary household chemicals and devices to form primitive bombs, smoke signals, and noise makers as distraction tools.
Hunting & Tracking: Ghost knows how to hunt game in the wild. He can read the landscape and tell the direction in which an animal is headed. Ghost can use these techniques in order to track people as well.
Advanced Reflexes: Ghost has the ability to trigger at will what is known as the "Fight-or-Flight Response." The fight-or-flight response (also called hyperarousal, or the acute stress response) is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival. The physiological changes that occur during the fight or flight response are activated in order to give the body increased strength and speed in anticipation of fighting or running. Some of the specific physiological changes and their functions include: Increased blood flow to the muscles activated by diverting blood flow from other parts of the body. Increased blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugars, and fats in order to supply the body with extra energy. The blood clotting function of the body speeds up in order to prevent excessive blood loss in the event of an injury sustained during the response. Increased muscle tension in order to provide the body with extra speed and strength Altered perception, as if the world around is moving in slow motion
Note: This SC cannot be learned, it must be taught by Ghost
- Bad Knee:
Name: Bad Knee Tier: 1 Stat(s) Boosted: / Description: Because of an injury when he was young, Ghost has a bad left knee. After 10 posts of running or fighting, his knee will start to act up, cutting his speed in half.
Description Height: 6' 6'' Weight: 200 lbs Skin Color: Caramel Eye Color: Brown Hair Color: Black General Description: Ghost wears dark colors. He sports a hooded black jacket with an oversized collar that conceals his nose and mouth, usually seen with the hood on, a hoodie beneath the jacket for chilly and cold nights, loose fitting pants, and sneakers or boots. He has a scarf around his neck that he can pull up over his mouth and nose. Ghost carries a large bag to house goods and items that he comes across in his travels. He is known to change when he finds other clothing that suits his taste. Ghost has a fit frame beneath his clothes because of exercise. The Details Personality: Before the outbreak, Ghost was typically easy going and a person of few words. Not exactly popular or "the life of the party," he kept to himself and had few friends. Ghost didn't really stand out at school or college; being an average student, he blended into the crowd as just another face, which was just how he wanted it. Ghost had no high school crush or college sweetie, and he was seldom a target for bullies; he was just plain and ordinary. After a family accident, Ghost becomes distant and mute, rarely ever speaking. He always seemed to have a frown on his face, which caused the majority of people to avoid him. Ghost began to avoid large crowds and befriending people, preferring to be by himself. After the outbreak, Ghost distances himself even more. He believed other people would slow him down or eventually cause him to be killed. However, Ghost isn't without a sense of justice. He'll help and save people if he has to, though he was never for joining up with people or letting them tag along with him. Ghost will do whatever it takes to survive, even if it meant deserting or killing people. History: Simon Hopkins was born into a family of 3 brothers. Alvin, his older brother, enrolled in the military when he turned 18. When Simon turned 5, his mother gave birth to the youngest brother, Theodore. (Their mother was a big fan of a certain cartoon). Simon's upbringing was a relatively normal one. He became a fan of novels and comic books. Simon got into landscaping to earn a living, cutting grass, raking leaves, and snowblowing. He owned all of his own equipment, bought with help from his father. Normally a loner, Simon kept to himself and stayed away from large circles. There was only one girl he ever liked, but she didn't feel the same for him, and in fact gave a very rude and nasty response when she found out. A car accident claims the lives of his mother, father and little brother. Simon becomes even more withdrawn, and rarely interacts with other people. Alvin doesn't have time to grieve, as he is recalled by the army for reasons that he cannot explain, only hinting that "something big" was happening. For the remainder of the time he has left as a civilian, Alvin begins a grueling training exercise with Simon, sharpening his mind and body, and teaching him many survival skills. Alvin is recalled into the military. Shortly after this, what seems to be the end of the world occurs. Dead-looking people begin to eat others alive. Mass hysteria erupts, and the city begins to be torn apart. Figuring he was just a "Ghost of his former self," Simon gears himself up and leaves home as his neighborhood is engulfed by crowds of the dead-looking people. He puts his safety and well being above anything else. He helps out certain people, but others get left behind to die, such as the female he once crushed on. He can't even bring himself to care as she is torn to pieces before his eyes. Ghost - as he calls himself now - doesn't know how all of this happened or why. His main focus now is simply to survive it all. OOC Information FaceClaim: Unknown FaceClaim Artist/Location: Random Google search
