Skill set:A mechanic and a hunter                                                                             


Backstory:Born 1983 12th of December. A mechanic from the streets of Kiev. Makariy learned technical skills during his years in the orphanage from the janitor who worked there. The janitor had a small business near the orphanage, a garage called Tires and Bumpers and Makariy used to go and help him after he had finished his work at the orphanage and as "payment" the janitor teached him. For some reason Makariy never learned the real name of that janitor always calling him by that name.


After Makariy turned 18 he moved out of the orphanage to the Tires and Bumpers and worked there until 2008 when he met Inessa Petrenko an Ukrainian daughter of a farmer who lived a hundred miles from "the Zone". Makariy fell in love with the young Inessa and moved with her to her father's farm in Ukraine. There Makariy got married with Inessa and lived at her fathers farm up until 2014. When a former Freedom member who had escaped the zone, being high, robbed the farm and killed Inessa's father and first raped and then killed Inessa too whilst Makariy was in a nearby town buying a new rifle and other hunting equipment. When Makariy reached the farm he had already loaded the weapons hoping to see some animals to test the rifle and the pistol he had bought. The former Freedom member was loading up their truck with everything he found inside. Makariy noticed something was wrong, sneaked behind the house and looked in through the window and saw the bodies of his dear wife and father in law. Makariy was suddenly taken over by rage and urge to kill that stranger raiding his new home so he sneaked behind him and knocked him unconcious and tied him up wanting to question him. Half an hour passed and then the former Freedom member started to stir Makariy grabbed him and shouted: "What the fuck are you doing here and why have you killed my family?" Makariy being a big man the former Freedom member was so scared he told everything he knew immediately. Makariy listened carefully to every detail the man told him so he knew how to get into the Zone and to the spot where the Freedom member had been stationed before his escape. Makariy grabbed his weapon and other equipment and also took with him the rifle and pistol he bought earlier, killed the Freedomer taking his gear also (excluding the suit).[/size][size=78%] [/size]


Makariy set out to the zone with his truck and a few days later he reached the place where the Freedom member had told there was a secret entrance. Makariy stopped the car a little before the border and sneaked up-close on foot. Makariy waited for the guards to pass and then sneaked in through the hole. Makariy had reached the Zone and was on his way to join the DUTY to eradicate the it, because that was what he thought was right as it had so many anarchists in there and as the Freedomer had told him, swarming with mutants even more dangerous than humans could possibly be.

He was born into a hectic lifestyle, only to be taken care of by his big brother, Mikhail never really learned much, and he was always an adventurous type of boy. He had a loving brother only to be robbed of that when both parents divorced and went their separate ways a few years later. Mikhail unfortunately went with his mother while his brother went with their father. Living an even more hectic lifestyle, Mikhail was constantly beaten by his mother probably because of the drugs and alcohol she had been abusing her body with for the past few months. Getting sick of living a life of poverty, he decided to run only taking with him is a picture of his brother and father, Mikhail yearned for his brother and father, so he went off to make some money. Without an education he wouldn't be able to get a job, until he heard about the Zone and decided to travel there.

The way to the Zone was long a treacherous, trying to avoid being detected crossing the Zone. He later found a truck, it was gunned down, littered around it were bodies of dead STALKERS, people like him trying to cross into the Zone, but didn't make it. Mikhail pressed on ignoring the bloodshed, he wanted to just find a way to get money and finally see his brother and father. He reached a small little camp, it wasn't much, just a bit too 'open', anyways, and Mikhail was met with the STALKERS sitting around the fire and pointing their weapons at him, he tried his best to gain their trust, he didn't even have a weapon on him, Mikhail joined them in a little drinking game, while they told stories of how they got in the Zone in the first place, he sort of thought this small group could probably help him make some money, just before he passed out from drinking too much. He wakes hours later, feeling hung-over with the STALKERS laughing at him and helping him up. They seemed to like him, so they let him tag along for a bit, along the way he gained the trust of each and everyone one of them getting a share of the money bit by bit, only picking the scraps and usually carrying all their stuff. He received a pistol a few weeks later, a makarov to be exact, it wasn't much, but it helped him a bit.

Just a month passed, and Mikhail was sort of part of the group, and became an honorary member of their gang. One day they had gotten a job to help clear out a den of Bloodsuckers. They thought the job was simple, go in and help clear out the building and get paid, simple right? Wrong, approaching the building the group was approaching was suddenly attacked by two bloodsuckers, getting cocky they decided to shoot everywhere barely hitting them only to wake up more bloodsuckers and lead them to their location.

Getting scared and worried he might die, Mikhail fled running as fast as he can shooting behind him leaving the group he called his friends behind, only to be followed by a bloodsucker. He was grabbed from behind and thrown against the ground, wriggling around and trying to get up, he was pinned against the ground by the mutant. Unable to move, he tried shoot at the mutant with the pistol in his hand, he unloaded a full clip into the Bloodsuckers stomach causes it to back off a bit giving him time to run, running as fast as he could not looking back, until he reached a road. Worried about his safety, he was going down the road, only to be met by a figure that seemed to be all too familiar, and it was. Mikhail Fedoseev finally found his brother; their reunion was celebrated, but died down after telling his brother, Artyom, the whole story about their mother, he couldn't hold back his tears. Artyom, shocked to hear this, talked to him about everything that has happened so far, and they both then continued their search for their father Vladimir.
Walking along the same road, they uncover from the distance a body, it was no ordinary body either, it was their father's body. In tears, Mikhail swore to rid the Zone of its Mutants and the danger it poses to everyone. He followed his brother into a place called 'Duty', he wasn't too sure what they were until they spoke to one of them, they liked the idea they had, what they did, and how they did it, and was interested to join.

Name: Artyom Fedoseev
[/color]Age: 27
[/color]Skill set: Recon/Scout and/or medical
[/color]Backstory:  Artyom Fedoseev was born March 25^th. After a couple of years when Artyom was older, his dad Vladimir Fedoseev decided to take him into the forest, to practice some shooting with his old Fora pistol. By that time Artyom Fedoseev was just 14 years old. Artyom didn't really know why his dad was going to teach him how to handle a weapon, mainly because he was just 14 years old. While his dad took him into the forest, back at home his Mother Natasia Fedoseev took care of the family, such as cooking for them, washing their clothes etc.
After two to three years, Artyom's mother Natasia got pregnant. Artyom was 17 years old by then. There still were eight to nine months left until his mother was given birth. While Artyom's mother didn't know she was actually pregnant the first few weeks, she realized a month later that she indeed was pregnant of a second child. While Artyom's family celebrated of having another, son, brother, family member... they were also a little concerned about it, as it wasn't the right time for them, seeing as the family lived in a hectic life, barely had any food or money to buy themselves proper clothes and/or protection. After eight months Artyom's mother finally had given birth. She was given birth to a boy. Meaning that Artyom now has a little brother. His mom Natasia named her second child 'Mikhail Fedoseev'. Right from the start Artyom Fedoseev started to take care of his little brother Mikhail, he took care of him as if it was his own child. Artyom wanted to give his mom some rest, which is one of the reasons why he took care of his brother. While only a few years had passed, Artyom's mother and father were divorced. Their father Vladimir decided to leave the house, and never returned... while Mikhail was old enough to take care of himself, Artyom decided to go look for his dad, and left both his mom and his little brother alone. While Artyom has been trying to find his dad for several months, he came across an area called the Zone. Artyom didn't know what to expect from the Zone, but after finding a dead body just openly laying on the floor, he figured the Zone wasn't the best place to be, but as he was purely focusing on finding his dad, he entered the Zone even further. While it was hard for Artyom to find himself a job, or food in the Zone he managed himself to stay alive just by finding himself food on the ground, which other people had eaten or drunken from. This was a high risk for Artyom, seeing as he could easily had taken an infection and could have had died because of this. Unfortunate for Artyom he did get an infection from all the rotten meat and chunk that he used to survive. Artyom wasn't able to run anymore, he was totally exhausted and couldn't see things clearly anymore. While Artyom went searching for other people in the Zone , while he was infected and needed urgent help.. he collapsed to the ground, and was laying there for hours. Surprisingly enough the mutants around the Zone didn't end his life...
After several days had been passed, Artyom woke up in a bed. As he looked around him, trying to find out where he was.. there was no one around at the house he was in. Artyom slowly stood up, and decided to check the house for any people, unfortunately there still was no one around.... Artyom recovered pretty quick from his infection, meaning someone had helped him, back at where he collapsed. After Artyom was recovered, and strong enough to leave again.. he found himself some better equipment, a Fora.. the one his dad used, and a kabar 'knife'. While Artyom left the house he was in, walking down the road he saw something into the distance that appeared to look like a human shape. Artyom decided to approach it closer, and saw it was his little brother Mikhail Fedoseev. Artyom couldn't believe his eyes, it was his little brother... but wondered 'why is he here, and why did he leave his mother alone at home?'. Even when several years had passed, Artyom recognized his brother straight away. Artyom was 27 years old, and Mikhail was 20 years. They celebrated their reunion shortly afterwards. After the celebration Artyom decided to ask Mikhail why he is here... and what happened back at home. Mikhail felt in tears, saying his mom started to use drugs after the divorce, and after Artyom left the house. Mikhail said he was nearly beaten to death by his own mother, which is why he decided to leave the house and search for his 'real family'. Artyom was really shocked that his mother actually beaten his little brother. After they talked about what had happened back then, they decided to continue to search for their dad and grabbed all the essential stuff they needed. While they moved back on the road, further into the Zone they found another body at the side of the road... They approached the body closer, and it appeared to be their dad Vladimir. He was completely blood sucked dry from a bloodsucker. They felt in tears together, and were dedicated to hunt down the thing that has killed their father. After finding the body of their dad, they already hated the Zone for its dangers and/or mutants. They decided to look for other people, and walked upon a big complex.. there were soldiers standing behind barricades. Artyom and Mikhail decided to approach the soldiers slowly, as they weren't too sure what kind of people they were and what they were doing here. Artyom decided to talk to one of the soldiers, and found out this group was called 'Duty'. He also found out what they do, and why they're here... seeing as that wasn't the reason Artyom and Mikhail came to the Zone, they didn't care anymore after finding the body of their father.. they were dedicated to join the soldiers 'Duty' to help them destroying the Zone, the thing that killed their father and to keep the rest of the world safe from its dangers.

While Artyom's mother didn't know she was actually pregnant the first few weeks, she realized a month later that she indeed was pregnant of a second child. While Artyom's family celebrated of having another, son, brother, family member... they were also a little concerned about it, as it wasn't the right time for them, seeing as the family lived in a hectic life, barely had any food or money to buy themselves proper clothes and/or protection. After eight months Artyom's mother finally had given birth. She was given birth to a boy. Meaning that Artyom now has a little brother. His mom Natasia named her second child 'Mikhail Fedoseev'. Right from the start Artyom Fedoseev started to take care of his little brother Mikhail, he took care of him as if it was his own child. Artyom wanted to give his mom some rest, which is one of the reasons why he took care of his brother. While only a few years had passed, Artyom's mother and father were divorced. Their father Vladimir decided to leave the house, and never returned... while Mikhail was old enough to take care of himself, Artyom decided to go look for his dad, and left both his mom and his little brother alone. While Artyom has been trying to find his dad for several months, he came across an area called the Zone. Artyom didn't know what to expect from the Zone, but after finding a dead body just openly laying on the floor, he figured the Zone wasn't the best place to be, but as he was purely focusing on finding his dad, he entered the Zone even further. While it was hard for Artyom to find himself a job, or food in the Zone he managed himself to stay alive just by finding himself food on the ground, which other people had eaten or drunken from. This was a high risk for Artyom, seeing as he could easily had taken an infection and could have had died because of this. Unfortunate for Artyom he did get an infection from all the rotten meat and chunk that he used to survive. Artyom wasn't able to run anymore, he was totally exhausted and couldn't see things clearly anymore. While Artyom went searching for other people in the Zone , while he was infected and needed urgent help.. he collapsed to the ground, and was laying there for hours. Surprisingly enough the mutants around the Zone didn't end his life...After several days had been passed, Artyom woke up in a bed. As he looked around him, trying to find out where he was.. there was no one around at the house he was in. Artyom slowly stood up, and decided to check the house for any people, unfortunately there still was no one around.... Artyom recovered pretty quick from his infection, meaning someone had helped him, back at where he collapsed. After Artyom was recovered, and strong enough to leave again.. he found himself some better equipment, a Fora.. the one his dad used, and a kabar 'knife'. While Artyom left the house he was in, walking down the road he saw something into the distance that appeared to look like a human shape. Artyom decided to approach it closer, and saw it was his little brother Mikhail Fedoseev. Artyom couldn't believe his eyes, it was his little brother... but wondered 'why is he here, and why did he leave his mother alone at home?'. Even when several years had passed, Artyom recognized his brother straight away. Artyom was 27 years old, and Mikhail was 20 years. They celebrated their reunion shortly afterwards. After the celebration Artyom decided to ask Mikhail why he is here... and what happened back at home. Mikhail felt in tears, saying his mom started to use drugs after the divorce, and after Artyom left the house. Mikhail said he was nearly beaten to death by his own mother, which is why he decided to leave the house and search for his 'real family'. Artyom was really shocked that his mother actually beaten his little brother. After they talked about what had happened back then, they decided to continue to search for their dad and grabbed all the essential stuff they needed. While they moved back on the road, further into the Zone they found another body at the side of the road... They approached the body closer, and it appeared to be their dad Vladimir. He was completely blood sucked dry from a bloodsucker. They felt in tears together, and were dedicated to hunt down the thing that has killed their father. After finding the body of their dad, they already hated the Zone for its dangers and/or mutants. They decided to look for other people, and walked upon a big complex.. there were soldiers standing behind barricades. Artyom and Mikhail decided to approach the soldiers slowly, as they weren't too sure what kind of people they were and what they were doing here. Artyom decided to talk to one of the soldiers, and found out this group was called 'Duty'. He also found out what they do, and why they're here... seeing as that wasn't the reason Artyom and Mikhail came to the Zone, they didn't care anymore after finding the body of their father.. they were dedicated to join the soldiers 'Duty' to help them destroying the Zone, the thing that killed their father and to keep the rest of the world safe from its dangers.

I... Don't even know where to begin here.

You fail to even mention where your character was born; Not that it matters much, seeing as you proceed to immediately state that the character's father went off to "join the Monolith", apparently willingly.

I could sit here and dissect this, but I'm just going to generalize; It's bad. It needs a lot of work.

Name:Leo 'Messo' Kain
Age:24
Skill set:Pistols/Lockpick/Shotguns/Rifles/cooking/Sneaking
Backstory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=emeSBD8DvCc#!
Leo Kain - Chapter one: The valley of the shadow of death


"Kain? Kain..? Jesus man you're alright!"


The man turned around after speaking the small, few, words to Leo. He stares blankly at the bodies of his men laying against the ground with a video recorder aimed at where the corpses lay. He mutters keenly to himself "My god... Leo, what happened!? Did you shoot your men?"


"N-..." The torn, beaten, staff sergeant looked up to the figure above him; he coughed lightly not able to finish off his word.


"Leo, just tell me. We've been friends since eighth grade man... Did you kill them?"


The man continued to stare at the figure above him, the dim lighting not helping with the horrible eye sight Leo was facing. He coughed once more before letting out a small, feeble mumble in response to the man.


"Marcus... I did not shoot them, they were my frien-... fri-."


The beaten man was unable to speak much further, he groaned in pain staring at the man above him, he let out a soft whimper as if begging for forgiveness. He soon lowered his head, unable to speak further.


"I want to believe you Leo, I really do." The man sighed deeply, he ran his hand across his face before looking across at the wall and placed his hands on his hips shaking his head lightly. "The evidence stacks against you Leo, even if you didn't do this they are going to convict you... I can offer you, no I have to give you two options... You either get sent to court in the states and spend the rest of your life behind bars or get sentenced to death or..." The man paused again, a tear running down his left cheek as he continues to speak "Or I can get you out of here... I know a place."


Leo looked up to Marcus, his eyes filled with regret as he slowly nods muttering lightly "I don't... I don't want to die."


The soldier, Marcus, almost broke down, feeling pity for his best friend. He gave a soft sniffle before looking down to Leo again and nodding lightly "I promise you will not die..." He than shook his head "I'm going to have to report that you killed your men... I'll... I'll tell your mother..."


Leo's eyes began to water, the thought of his life starting a new, leaving his mom and dad to wonder if he had actually killed his men haunted him. Unable to move he began to cry. "Help me.... Marcus... Please..."


Marcus bent down lifting Leo up and placing him in a carry, he began to move out of the building heading over too the HMMWV and setting Leo into the back seat before he himself hopped into the Passenger seat, he looked over to the Private nodding. "Head up to Sharif..." The driver nodded before pressing onto the pedal and heading north. Marcus turned around to look at Leo "I have a contact... He'll take you to Ukraine, into the zone... I'll fill you in on the way."


Leo nodded lightly, unable to decline.

Leo Kain - Chapter Two: Entry and DisturbanceThe Truck made a stop at a small shack in the middle of the woods. Two men and Leo hopped out of the truck and headed to the shack, Leo still disturbed by the events said nothing as they entered the building. There was little light, only that of candles and what came in through the windows. The shack was made of wood and had a deep musty smell all around. Leo cringed slightly as they entered. The first man who was about six five began to speak."Alright Sergeant Kain, we need to take your gear and clothes, we have something to start you off with... This will insure your security and make sure no one comes after you." Leo nodded as the man spoke, he headed to the back room still weak from before. He began to remove his ACU's, the last time he would wear it. A tear moved down his eye as he began to remember fully the incident which had occurred him to throw away his life for the zone. The patrol moved down the road, before gunfire erupted. The team left the HMMWV and led to a near by building. Inside the insurgent waited until the last member entered, the sergeant, and smacked him in the face with a rifle. He fell to the ground, unable to move as he watched the insurgent quickly pick up his own gun and shoot down the five members of his patrol. The insurgent bent down afterwords setting the now empty rifle next to him, he looked into Leos eyes with a smile before speaking in Arabic. He then proceeded to beat the already broken man until near death, all he could remember.Knocking of the door was then heard, Leo awoke from his daze as a man called out. "Come on Sergeant! We have to get moving, the gate will not be secured forever." Leo feebly walked to the door, he opened it grabbing the anorak and AK-47 dragging it into the room. He slowly began to slip on the new ware beginning to think of his family. What would they think? Their first son now a federal criminal for a crime he didn't commit. The thought began to destroy him internally as tears began to run down the side of his face. He slipped on the rest, including the balaclava and gripped onto the AK, the tears soaked into the Balaclava as he opened the door. He gripped the weapons sling pushing it into his shoulder as he looked to the two men "Are we ready to go?" Five words better than nothing. The taller man nodded."We're ready, lets go Mr. Kain." The men headed out the door again, they motioned for him to follow and he did.The reached the gates of the Zone, the men hopped out and exchanged nods with a man who was already at the gate. One of the two men handed the figure a large sum of cash before speaking "Take him as far in as you can, set him up well... Take him to a woman named Tammy, she is the only one who can help him." The three men exchanged nods before the figure motioned for Leo to come closer. Leo hopped down from the truck and walked over, his beaten face hidden behind the balaclava. "So, Mister Kain... Are you ready to start your life a new?" The man asked half heatedly, he did not expect a response except motioning for Leo to enter the hole into the gate. Leo nodded before stepping foot into the gate and taking his first step into the zone. They began to walk, and walk they did for at least an hour. "Alright, we are staying here for tonight, set up your stuff, I'll make the fire." Leo set down his sleeping bag and opened it, letting it lay on the cold zone soil. He set down his ragsack so he could take a seat on it while the figure began to start the fire. It was cold in the Ukraine, the events only made him colder, and it was time to finally get warmed up.The fire burned nicely, giving off the crackles of burning wood. Leo rose his hands to the fire allowing them to warm up, he looked over to the figure letting out a weak breathe before speaking. "Tell me... What is the zone?" The figures head rose and stared at Leo, a small grin arising on his face."The zone, to some, is the place of fortune and wealth. To most it is hell on earth, there are creatures that were made here not by gods design, but the devil himself. Welcome to Hell Mister Kain, but I'm sure you have already seen hell yourself if you are here now.""Hell... Hell doesn't describe it." Leo answered to the figure, "It was like being killed, just to be reborn again just to be killed."The figure nodded lightly turning back to the fire. "Who is Tammy?" Leo asked the man as he turned away."She is the only one who can help you now Mister Kain, the only one who can send you back to your family. Now get some sleep."Leo rose from the sleeping bag and entered the sleeping bag, attempting to get some rest before the further journey into the zone. The next morning he awoke near the crack of dawn, he looked over to the man who was sitting by a small dim fire. "Are we... Ready to go?" He asked standing up from where he had slept."Yes, gather your things." The man said as he rose from his seat. Leo gathered his things before they headed out, going further into the zone. About another hour or so passed before they reached a small town controlled by duty.

The new life in the zone began to work well with Leo. After so many drinks, and so many days, the pains of what happened weeks before began to slowly slip by him as he began life a new in the zone. Jobs were not hard to find in the zone and he grew a familiar liking to it. He began to collect artifacts for himself to hold by the campfire.

Later he started to ask people around him about duty , until Leo decided to join duty.

Name:Burik Miska
Age:26
Skill set:Was a recon unit for the military, who was left for dead in the zone.
Backstory: (Three paragraph minimum)Burik, crawled through the bushes toward the edge of the cliff, that mission was simple. To observe the Monolith forces and report back to command. It was supposed to be simple, easy even, but that would be his last day as a Private in the military. As he approached the edge of the cliff he took out his binoculars and watched the squad of Monolith. They moved around in a frantic pattern as if they knew they were being watched. Before Burik could draw his sniper he heard gunshots. Three Monolith soldiers rushed him from his flank side, however they were shooting full auto and not hitting anything. Burik rolled onto his back and pulled his pistol, he dropped two easily but managed to take a bullet in the leg before he took down the third.



Burik took out his knife and dug the bullet out of his skin, and then applied gauze to the wound. Lucky for him the bully hit the meat of his thigh, and would affect his leg in the long term. Unfortunately it would still kill him now, as he limped away from the cliff in an attempt to get away. He pulled out his radio and called in what happened, and didn't receive a reply. He tried three more times, hearing the yells get closer each time, and nothing no reply until his last try he received one fragment of a sentence. "Good luck, Stalker." Burks mouth dropped wide open and he threw the radio into a nearby pond. Burik kept running until his injured leg gave out on him. He crawled to an abandoned crane and set up an outpost. If he was going down, he'd take down as many as possible.


The Monolith squad was down to four after his little encounter, and he dropped another before they took notice to his position. However he was panicked and missed most of his shots after the first one, he barely took down another one as his clip ran dry. Before he could reload, a Monolith soldier rushed up the stairs, Burik only had enough time to drain a pistol clip into him, as he dropped the last Monolith soldier stepped over his body and pulled a long wicked knife. Burik threw his pistol aside and pulled his ka-bar. The Monolith moved toward Burik slowly and deliberately, knowing his was injured and in know shape for hand-to-hand combat. But before he could get any close a gunshot was heard and he fell to the ground. Burik looked astonished and a loner appeared in the doorway. As he approached Burik managed to croak out a "Thanks" the Stalker nodded and asked "You Military?" Burik looked at his arm patched and cut it off his arm. "Not anymore."

He was born into a hectic lifestyle, only to be taken care of by his big brother, Mikhail never really learned much, and he was always an adventurous type of boy. He had a loving brother only to be robbed of that when both parents divorced and went their separate ways a few years later. Mikhail unfortunately went with his mother while his brother went with their father. Living an even more hectic lifestyle, Mikhail was constantly beaten by his mother probably because of the drugs and alcohol she had been abusing her body with for the past few months. Getting sick of living a life of poverty, he decided to run only taking with him is a picture of his brother and father, Mikhail yearned for his brother and father, so he went off to make some money. Without an education he wouldn't be able to get a job, until he heard about the Zone and decided to travel there.

The way to the Zone was long a treacherous, trying to avoid being detected crossing the Zone. He later found a truck, it was gunned down, littered around it were bodies of dead STALKERS, people like him trying to cross into the Zone, but didn't make it. Mikhail pressed on ignoring the bloodshed, he wanted to just find a way to get money and finally see his brother and father. He reached a small little camp, it wasn't much, just a bit too 'open', anyways, and Mikhail was met with the STALKERS sitting around the fire and pointing their weapons at him, he tried his best to gain their trust, he didn't even have a weapon on him, Mikhail joined them in a little drinking game, while they told stories of how they got in the Zone in the first place, he sort of thought this small group could probably help him make some money, just before he passed out from drinking too much. He wakes hours later, feeling hung-over with the STALKERS laughing at him and helping him up. They seemed to like him, so they let him tag along for a bit, along the way he gained the trust of each and everyone one of them getting a share of the money bit by bit, only picking the scraps and usually carrying all their stuff. He received a pistol a few weeks later, a makarov to be exact, it wasn't much, but it helped him a bit.

Just a month passed, and Mikhail was sort of part of the group, and became an honorary member of their gang. One day they had gotten a job to help clear out a den of Bloodsuckers. They thought the job was simple, go in and help clear out the building and get paid, simple right? Wrong, approaching the building the group was approaching was suddenly attacked by two bloodsuckers, getting cocky they decided to shoot everywhere barely hitting them only to wake up more bloodsuckers and lead them to their location.

Getting scared and worried he might die, Mikhail fled running as fast as he can shooting behind him leaving the group he called his friends behind, only to be followed by a bloodsucker. He was grabbed from behind and thrown against the ground, wriggling around and trying to get up, he was pinned against the ground by the mutant. Unable to move, he tried shoot at the mutant with the pistol in his hand, he unloaded a full clip into the Bloodsuckers stomach causes it to back off a bit giving him time to run, running as fast as he could not looking back, until he reached a road. Worried about his safety, he was going down the road, only to be met by a figure that seemed to be all too familiar, and it was. Mikhail Fedoseev finally found his brother; their reunion was celebrated, but died down after telling his brother, Artyom, the whole story about their mother, he couldn't hold back his tears. Artyom, shocked to hear this, talked to him about everything that has happened so far, and they both then continued their search for their father Vladimir.
Walking along the same road, they uncover from the distance a body, it was no ordinary body either, it was their father's body. In tears, Mikhail swore to rid the Zone of its Mutants and the danger it poses to everyone. He followed his brother into a place called 'Duty', he wasn't too sure what they were until they spoke to one of them, they liked the idea they had, what they did, and how they did it, and was interested to join.

Name: Fedor Biriukova

Age: 34

Skill set: Engineering. Knowledge with assault rifles, sidearms and explosives. Cooking.




Backstory:

              24th of October, 2010. It wasn't one of those trivial days for Fedor. The government promised "simple work with decent payment" through the Moldovan Military Voluntary Engineering Unit, to many it wasn't a choice of free will. The impoverishment of Moldova strove many workers like Fedor to cheap and insecure work. This time it was the Ukranian Military offering work for the MMVEU. The order came for  Fedor and a dozen of other MMVEU workers to pack their belongings and say goodbye to their families. But a drunkard like Fedor had no time to farewell his family, his thoughts were around alcohol.

             So there he was, after a few hour train trip and now on the back of a truck, Fedor glimpsed outside of the truck, thinking about her family. For the first time, Fedor grieved, almost bringing a tear to his eye thinking about what a miserable bastard he was for not saying good bye to his family and all the times he had embraced a bottle of vodka instead of his son. The truck pulled to a stop and soon the workers were told to step out with their equipment. Fedor sunk the bottom of his boots to the wet mud and could feel the refreshening of the cool water drippling against his face. He looked up, inhaling deeply.

"Save it for the break, worker. We have work to do." Fedor faced the commissar in front of him.
"Welcome to Chernobyl, workers of the free government! Just listen to me very carefully and this will go faster and easier than you expect." The commissar shouted out to all the workers.
"The maintenance of the exclusion zone border is vital to the Ukranian government and military. And it seems they need us to do the dirty work. We will dispatch in a few minutes, prepare your gear and warm up your legs, we have quite a hike to do before we can get to work."

             After an hour walk into the deep nothingness of the forest somewhere near Chernobyl, some of the workers started repeating:
"They are coming, there's nothing we can do."
Fedor was abashed and he could feel something gouge the back of his spine, he was afraid. Somewhere in the forest, the group could hear howling. All the workers came to a halt. A horde of dogs rushed towads the group, they all dispersed, screaming their lungs out. Guns started going off, Fedor couldn't hear anything but gunfire and screaming. He saw a couple workers getting torn by the hounds, it was a bloodshed. Fedor saw the situation being hopeless and started running deeper into the forest. Soon he couldn't see any other human being, but the fear strove him to keep running. He ran and ran, his thought were about his family and getting home.

            Fedor seeked shelter in an abandoned village, he was badly exhausted. Fedor though about what happened just a few moments ago and knew he wouldn't see his family again in a long time. He fell down and started crying. A day had passed and ,what Fedor thought impossible, he saw other people. Thinking they were other workers stranded from the group, he walked over to them. Soon Fedor noticed that the people were unknown to him, he had never met them and thought how they could actually live inside the exclusion zone.

           Having spent a few days in the exclusion zone, he learned a lot about the 'Zone' as they call it. Fedor become more worried about his family as he had heard how the 'Zone' is expanding. Fedor wanted to ensure the best future for his son and didn't want him to become a S.T.A.L.K.E.R looking for him when he grows up. Fedor knew the 'Zone' must be stopped, and he only knew one powerful group that supports his idea.

In-Character Information

Name: Trarus Zukov

Age: 31

Skill set: Zukov is best suited for small arms and tracking.

Backstory: (Three paragraph minimum) Trarus Zukov, a private contract worker, was interested in stories about this so called "Zone". On his available time, Kukov researched about the area, learning about the Chernoybl Distaster, it's inhabitants, and the isolation of the area. His interest's grew upon the area. Learning there is no way to get access to the Zone without being thrown in prison or being shot at the sight of entering, Zukov came up with a plan which took several week's of effort. During the process of planning, he persuaded many friends into helping him out with his little operation, most of which were his co-workers. All experienced in the combative field. At the same time, one of his co-workers, Issac Konn, was leaked much information about the sorrounding patrols of Ukraine Military and outposts, in attempt to avoid them while sneaking into the Zone. Konn also studied the area's geological features, finding the best points to enter discreetly. The planning was finally finished, and Zukov contacted all of his friends into meeting up about one-thousand yards from the Zones borders.

Zukov enter's the waypoint with his gear, and all of his "followers" are all ready geared up at the site. "Alright comrades, we've gone over this plan countless times now, and you all know what to do. Be brave, and whatever you do, make sure you all stick together. Once we get past the patrol's and begin crossing the Zone's borders, it's going to be like hell due to what we know so far about that place. You all ready?" Zukov speaks in a commanding voice. The others nod to him and begin their plans. The group first splits up into two sections, while one staggers, follows behind. Step by step, the group of men hike their way to the Zone's borders, avoiding the known Military patrols. They're successful. Zukov's group, which is following Konn's group, radio's in for location status, "Konn, how close are we to the borders? We've been hiking for a fair bit of time now." Konn replies, "We're very close. Have you heard the screams and odd noises while following us? Shit out here is mad insane, I hope this was a good idea." "It is... and it was. See you on the other side." About ten minutes after the conversation, Konn's group reaches the known border of the Zone and radios in for Kukov's group to meet up with them. Minutes later, Kukov and his crew shows up slowly and quietly, startling one of Konn's members, "Holy shit... no wonder why we haven't been caught yet. Konn is just up ahead, follow me." Zukov's group and Konn's at last meet eyes again, and are exactly at the Zones borderline. "Well, here we are Zu-..." A stray bullet buzzes into Konn's chest, immediately killing him. "Everyone get down!" Zukov shouts out, with Konn's blood splattered on him. The sound of gunfire rolls in and out of the area, bullets race towards Zukov's friends, and blood fills the dirt. A friend shouts out to Zukov, "Zukov! I thought you said we were going to be safe! What the fuck do we do?" "Draw out your sidearm's and shoot back!" Everyone was ordered by Zukov to being along a firearm of some sort's, just incase this situation came. Zukov and his friends begin firing into random spots of the sorrounding tree's, not exactly knowing where the enemy are. One by one, Zukov's friend's continuosly are hit by a stray bullet, and hope is begining to be lost. Laying down on his back, Zukov let's out a deep sigh and begins crawling forward deep into the Zone. The scattered tall grass completly saves his life from being detected as he crawls slowly deeper into the Zone. He must have been crawling for hours, and he never even noticed the gun firing had halted.

Stunned, Zukov stands up slowly and stuggles. He reaches to his feet, and looks upon his arms, noticing his hands and elbows are covered in blood. He shakes his head slowly, and takes out his radio which he was carrying before. Zukov speaks into it with the frequecny set as the same as before, "Hello? Any of you... still alive?" No response appears. Zukov looks around himself, and he is standing in a large open field, a large crater with flames bursting out of it, and follows with earthquake scarred terrain. He blindly stares into the unusual anomoly, "Hmm?" he surprisely hums. Across the field, a group of men approches Zukov in black suits, patterned with red lines. "Oi! You! Stalker! Are you alright man?" One of the men shouts to Zukov. He questions to himself, "Stalker? Me?" Zukov is clueless to the term, and the group of men reach to Zukov's front. "Did you hear me Stalker? Are you alright, your pretty bloody. People may think your a zombie if you don't clean yourself up." Zukov shakes his head and replies to the man, "Yes, hmm... I'm sorry. I have no clue what these terms are you are using." He looks back, "I just got into the... Zone. Is that right, the Zone?" The man looks to his men and chuckles, "Well! Howdy ho there! A Stalker is what we call people around here. It's a term commonly used. Please, follow us, we're just patroling these parts for any danger. We are Duty, welcome to the Zone!"

So, Zukov followed the group of men back to their base. On the way, Zukov witnessed countless strange anomolies, wandering dog's, large abnormal pig's, and other strange mutants. Upon arrival, the Duty soldiers explained to him that the Zone is not a safe place to be wandering around. They informed him that he should save up enough rubles to purchase a rifle along with some physical protection. Zukov was still carrying his sidearm he brought with him though. He said his farewell's to the soldier's and at least ten steps away one of the men shouted out to him, "What is your name by the way?" Zukov turned and shouted back, "Tarus, Tarus Zukov!" Once again the soldier shouted to him, "Nice name, call me Bouche! Why don't you head up down the pathway you were taking, and take your first right path you see! The local bar is located down that path, I'll meet you there!" Zukov gave a slight nod and headed down towards his directions. At his arrival, Zukov sighted a large stone building along with a large sign, 'The Bar'. He entered.

The moment he entered, Zukov spotted many "stalkers" filling their gut's with hard liquor. He walked over to an empty table and took a seat on a rough wooden stool. Tired, he leaned over and floped his body over the table sighing. Moments later, Bouche entered the bar with a few other Dutier's. "Zukov! Come over here," Bouche shouted across the bar. Zukov joined the Duty soldier's in a drink and began chatting. Zukov asked many questions about the Zone, and Bouche was able to answer msot of them. Questions like, "What are some threat's I should worry about, here?" and, "What is the Duty's purpose within the Zone?" A half an hour pasted, and Bouche asked Zukov a serious question, "Tarus... why don't you give Duty a shot. All you have to do is fill out a small application, and do some training drills then your in!" Bouche was being sarcastic. "Join Duty? Well, I do like your purposes here, put an end to the Zone and all, but should I make such a big decision so quickly," Zukov questioned. "Sure! Not many people live long enough to out last a month here, so you should at least do your best to survive. Duty always has your back," Bouche spoke without a lie. "Alright, I'll join Duty, but I will like to get comfortable around this area before I join."


Two weeks of time, Zukov performed a few job's that earned him a fair amount of rubles. He purchased a rifle which he was informed about getting. He purchased some better clothing that is suited with metal plating, and Zukov purchased some medical supplies for himself, just incase. He also gained a few local stalkers friendship while on a job to clear out a bandit camp. Alongside of a job, Zukov earned himself a PDA to keep in touch with these Stalkers, along with Bouche, his closest friend in the area. He decided it was time to give Duty a shot. Zukov pulled out his PDA, and sent a message to Bouche informing him to meet up at a small warehouse, inside of the base. They both arrived, "Zukov, so what is it? Going to give us a shot yet?" Zukov rolled his shoulder before responding, "Yeah, I'll join up with you all. I hope it's worth it." "Oh, it's worth it alright... it's worth it." Bouche smiled.

You seem to have missed the 'three paragraph minimum' note in the application code, you've only got one here. Could probably parcel it out into three if you tried, but 'eh, get it fixed.

I've still read what's here though, and lemme' tell ya', you're walking a fine line against 'generic sob story background' here. Might want to think about revising it. That's to say nothing of the bare-minimum explanation as to how the character even discovered the Zone to begin with, which is, you guessed it, also a problem. I'll check back on this in a day or so and check on your revisions. Restamp then.
