|In-Character Information|

Name: Name: Mikhail Мапстон (Mapston)
Age: 21
Family Members:Only remaining family member is my sister.. She resides in West Germany.
Backstory:
                                                                             General Information
    Mikhail was born on March 27th, 1994 in the major city of Kiev... Just south east of his home town of Dymer where he grew up. Mikhail's father was a Admiral in the U.S.S.R 's Border Guard who was stationed in the Chernobyl River ports before the melt down of the A-zed 5 emergency power reduction at the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant. Of course though the story of the Zone was not told to Mikhail until the age of 16. Besides his father one of Mikhails big influential people in his life was his sister who he loved dearly. However when she was 22 she moved out of the U.S.S.R to the west.
   Mikhail generally lived his life normally only with a few personal traits. One of such traits was... Mikhail had a high fatigue and was one of the top runners in his school. However at the age of 17 Mikhail was 6'0 and only 131 Lbs. There was no medical explanation to it and he ate just fine. The fact of that  Mikhail was thin... Tall... and could run very well was in all terms speaking actually... The second unique characteristic in his life. To get the main 'Problem' you need to look into his personal life.
   Much like his father... Mikhail had the dream of being part of the U.S.S.R's Border Guard. This dream however... Was not marked or influenced by his father. Mikhail had a want and need not only to save lives... But to defend the waters of Russia, which at this time was needed as the growing fear of the U.S/NATO attack was imminent. The question is whether it was going to happen at the Berlin Wall (Definitely not happening) or  along the Eastern coasts towards Alaska. Though in secret as  he looked at the larger picture at the age of 18 he realized most of the flaws of their current government... Communism/Socialism.
                                                                             Personal Life
   Growing up in Dymer early on Mikhail was very social. However as he matured he became less and less. Mikhail also could be deemed... 'Emotionally' unstable. Depending on your point of view dependencies on emotions can be deemed either bad... Or well... In Mikhail's mind good. Much like in war the enemy is only the opposite side you are fighting.
   Getting back on track however. The 'Emotional' instability originated from the emotion of love. In only high school Mikhail was ready to get married to the love of his life... Veresk Ray (Yes that is a womans name). Through high school they stayed with each other... And emotions gradually got stronger and not weaker. After high school Mikhail proposed to her and they got married... However only 2 years into their marriage Veresk was in a accident and was killed.
   After losing his wife Mikhail literally no longer saw any point to life. Rather than shooting himself... Which seemed to Mikhail like a waste of ammo and a waste of a eternity in hell. The ideas of his earlier teens came back and Mikhail decided to go to the inevitable hell which his father had described as the Zone. As his emotions declined his physical body slowed as well and soon he fell into depression. The teenage idea of "Freedom" in Communism came back and Mikhail escaped to the Zone.

Specializations (if any): Reconaissance and Medical.

There wasn't much here for him...beggars, muggers and other personalities he learned to avoid. At the age of 22 he was at the top of his depression that had grown through the years since he hit the streets. One day a man approached him when he was lying in an alley, ready to take his own life with a broken bottle. His face was masked, and he wearing a long coat.
He said he was looking for people like him...people with nothing binding them to the life in a city. Tolik had given up on life, so why not go with this strange man that he felt had given him a new opportunity in life.
They had almost gone out of the alley, when he felt a sharp sting in his neck...then he blacked out.

When he woke up, he was in what seemed like once a building, lying on a mattress.
He was wearing thick jacket, heavy pants and gloves. Somebody had dressed him up like if he was to go into tundra. He went out the door, and the sight that met him was something he had never seen before...dead trees and landscape surrounding him mile after mile in the distance. Once he looked around, he saw other persons...some of them sitting around a campfire talking and another man standing by the door. The man greeted him: "Welcome to the zone" The strange man spoke to Tolik, and told him that he would get an handsome job in the zone, if Tolik followed the strange man. Tolik did follow the man, but Tolik was curious of what the man was, because he had an Special suit and a mask.

Backstory:

Countryside of Chernobyl

A year before the Chernobyl accident Anton worked as a postman he was 28 a bit fat but not that much. Like everyone else he was calm about the Chernobyl N.P.P.(Nuclear Power Plant) he thought at that time it was a scientific marvel. After a year Anton when they said they are going to test something he was a bit nervous, so he did not go to his job that time. He hided underground in his house(he had a basement) he had one window that he could see the power plant far away. When the countdown for the test ended they overloaded the nuclear power plant to test the emergency cooling system... But it failed next thing Anton saw was a flash and the Nuclear power plant wen't up in flames, huge sparks flew out across the landscape. Anton fell down from the blast-wave, he passed out when he knocked his head off a pipe.

The Zone

After four years he became a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and started his search for the "Artifacts". When he stumbled into a bloodsucker he either tried to lose it or kicked it and tried to knock it out with a heavy object. He thought that these creatures were human before the nuclear disaster, these people should only be killed when needed to but when it's just running away leave it be. After another year Anton came closer to the power plant and stumbled into the freedom base. When he came up to the gate he met a person named Nikolai and Anton thought he should join the group and help stop the destruction of "The Zone".

|In-Character Information|

Name: Yuri Babikov
Age: 37
Family Members: Part of a rather large family, not in constant contact. Resides in Sibera. Has an unknown (Not known ICly) brother in the zone.
Backstory: (Sorry about lack of quality, I can't spend forever.) Yuri was the third child of a later-to-be large family. He was born in Novosibirsk, the center of Siberia in late 1978, living in a single apartment with his whole family. He was raised by his grandmother, as his mother was constantly caring for the latest newborn and his father spent his day as an engineer on the Novosibirsk Metro Transit System. Fascinated by trains, he planned to conduct them when he grew up, not that his dream lasted for long. Still, he couldn't relate to the rest of the family which he regularly saw, as his two older brothers were away in the war in Afghanistan. As a young adult he grew intersted in firearms after a local firing range opened, designed to get young men into the military. As the rest of boys there bragged about how they could control the recoil of firing the new AK74 on fully automatic fire, Yuri was quite the marksman, breaking the range's accuracy record.
After barely slugging through school, he moved to Ukraine with his savings to pursue a career as a chemical engineer, inspired by his American uncle in law. He got into the Chemical Technology University of Ukraine, and had lost all his money by the end of the year. Being forced to drop out and with no money to travel back home, Yuri spent the next three years sulking around the country, holding onto poor paying jobs for months at a time. Yuri heard of the second Chernobyl Disaster from a peer, and it wasn't long until word of the Stalker phenomenon reached him. Feeling down and a bit suicidal, he took what little money he had, and Yuri entered the zone through a torn down fence with three other young hopefuls.
Being one of the first couple hundred Stalkers, Yuri learned much about life in the zone in the coming years. He never went very far from it's borders, not in fear of Anomalies or Mutants, but men. Yuri never wanted to kill, and he never intended to. He made friends with the local Rookies, and saw life in a new way. He no longer stayed in the zone for money, but for the life he had created there. The first man he killed was to save another. As more Stalkers entered the zone, there were new opportunities. Some groups of bandits saw money to be made from other's misfortunes, rather than through hard work. Yuri encountered a bandit and rookie stalker, just on another day in the zone. It was your average robbery, but it changed him forever. He saw the Stalker pleading to the bandit who held his gun to the rookie's head. Panicked, he grabbed the bandit's gun. After he was revealed, the bandit started to struggle with him, and he had to do something. Yuri Babikov was a changed man after he strangled the bandit. The stalker scurried off, and Yuri sat there. He was seen a week later at the Stalker village he had resided in, carrying the body. He had lost weight, and his face was tinted green. Not saying a word, he buried the body behind an old chapel and moved forward, nodding to his friends as he left. He moved farther into the zone, not knowing what to expect. It wasn't long before he found himself in area heated with activity, meeting Duty and Freedom for the first time. He settled in a local freedom outpost (//Stalker Redux), finding the company better. After establishing himself, Yuri went to meet some Ecologists who had set up a bunker in the area. He grew to be friends with the "eggheads", agreeing with what they did. He just helped around the bunker and sat around in Freedom for the next year or so. Loosening up from Freedom's influence, Yuri grabbed a hold of himself and started to be more active around the zone, constantly getting in trouble with mutants and even being locked up in a laboratory. Military activity picked up around the area in 2011, and he decided it was time to leave after taking a .50 cal to the leg. He moved to another freedom base (//Redemption v2_b1), staying around Freedom as usual. Not accomplishing anything, Yuri decided he wasn't getting younger and moved yet again, carrying only his AK74. Arriving at a new part of the zone, drama ensued after encountering a wrecked service train involved with the military, and getting in a tight spot with a mercenary group named "Orion Platoon." Yuri, now a fully fledged veteran Stalker, finally dropped the title of loner and applied to freedom.

Specializations (if any): Long range marksmanship. Accumulated zone survival skills.

|Faction Related Information|

What is Freedom's ideology?: That the zone is a wonder of nature, and that it should be open to all.
Why do you wish to join Freedom?: I've always felt at home at freedom, I both ICly and OOCly agree with it's ideology.
Why should Freedom pick you?: I could be a valuable member of freedom, what else do you want?
How well do you know Freedomers?: I used to know plenty, yet I was still a rookie and I don't know how many knew me. Freedom hasn't been all that active recently, and I don't see many I can get to know.
Who is the Freedom Leader?: I was told ICly it was someone named Joel, I knew OOCly the full name was Joel Riebel. AKA Tom.

|Other Information|

Define Injury RP: Roleplaying being injured after you are... injured. If both your legs are shot out you aren't going anywhere soon, and you can't just shrug off bullets just because they didn't kill you instantly.
Define Metagaming: Using information you learned out of context in context.
Define Metaspeak: I'll be honest here, never used or heard the term before. I'm assuming it has to do with metagaming, something along the lines of using metagamed information, such as calling someone by their name by looking at the scoreboard. Or as others have said, it could be using internet chat, which I'd never dare.
Define RDM (Random Deathmatch): Killing someone without reason. Going around shooting every stalker you see is RDMing. Killing a stalker without a sufficient RP reason is RDMing.
Will you take responsibility for your actions?: Yes, of course.
Will you actively use the forums?: I already do. So yes.
Recommendations from Freedomers: Mrtaskerrrr. Can get more if needed.

Yorty Accepted nice application, I've rpd with you so I know you are pretty good right now you will start as a rookie but depending on wether or not Tom is changing the rank system stuff may be switched around.

Didn't have many dreams when you lived in the middle of an empty town by a dense forest area, a place called Tarashcha, small community around 2000 people. Ivan was a hard working farmer used to being out doors, always felt he was missing some action a piece of the world he hadn't seen but only heard stories and rumors from his friends about this amazing place where shit happens and the poor got rich, "The Zone" the words awed him. HE heard stories of artifacts that would make him a rich man, he decided over a few days to steal his family's shotgun and little ammo it held and head to the zone.

                        After days of hitch hiking he had finally reached the zone, over the weeks he met up with new people and made new friends, he made rules that he would not break. He always remembered Rule #1: Never Travel alone. His 2 friends he travels with deeper into the zone are Yuri Potnikoff and Arel Lavish. They have stuck together through the roughest and toughest moments he had ever known in The Zone. Fighting mutants hiding from Bandits meeting with fellow stalkers. One day Arel decided to head with a few to look for a near by Ecologist Bunker. Yuri and Ivan decided it would be there best choice to stick with there gut and head to the nearest faction they felt would suit there personality's. Off to Freedom Base they went.

      Several hours of hiking through dense terrain they ended up in Freedom base. They mostly hanged out in the bar area helping the Freedom with patrols and other activities or duty's. Chilling in the bar hanging out with Freedom and Stalker alike, one day he decided it was time to join the ranks of the "Freedom Fighters" as he called it. That night he began to fill out his application hoping that Freedom would take it into consideration and give him a chance.

|In-Character Information|

Name: Oskar Zakhar
Age: 25
Family Members: A mom, a dad, an older brother, and a younger brother.
Backstory:  I grew up in the town of Poltava as a kid.  We had a nice house, for the little amount of money we had.  We always kept it clean though.  Our mother didn't care if we were poor, she made us take pride in our home.  I'll admit though I tried to get out of the house as much as I could, loved playing football with kids in the neighborhood.  I was always good at defense, and enjoyed it when the other team wasn't able to score.  My dad taught me a little bit of guitar too, but my interest there never really peaked.  I do love music because of him though.
  Still even with all my hobbies I hated being poor, and so did my older brother.  I would hang out with his friends and well they had ways of making money that me and my brother envied.  Me and my brother eventually started dabbling in a little bit of his friends shadier occupations too.  At first we were just common thieves.  Later we started drug trafficking, storing stuff in our basement.  Then we got weapons so we could protect the stuff in our basement.  Then we started committing a few assaults cause we had the weapons and we got paid for it.  Funny part was the whole time our parents thought we were working for all the money we got. 
  Anyways me and my brother split ways once we were old enough to leave the homestead.  I dealt some of the guns I couldn't hide cause I didn't have a basement anymore.  Turned up a tidy profit and then realized that could make some nice cash.  Honestly it wasn't even that bad of a criminal activity if you asked me.  Its the man that kills the man not the gun.  For all I knew they could've just wanted to go deer hunting.  Of course the police ended up busting me, so I had to move.  When I was looking for rides out with some other scumbags the topic of the zone popped up.  Sounded like a place with no cops to come after me, and money to be made.  Not to mention a nice clean fresh start.  So I foolishly hopped in the back of that truck.
  Been here for a while and well, it's not so terrible.  I'm just thinking I should probably join one of these groups.  After all if I watch you're back I know you'll watch mine.  And well let's be honest, DUTY ain't really where it's at.

|In-Character Information|

Name: Dmitri Nykovich
Age: 29
Family Members: Yuri Nykovich (Father), Tanya Nykovich (Mother)
Backstory: Born in Russia, Dmitri was the only child of Yuri and Tanya Nykovich. His family were upper-class, both in the political fields of Russia. Dmitri had been told he were to follow a political career, yet he refused.
     At the age of seventeen, Dmitri graduated from school. In search of something greater than pursuing a political career, he traveled to Kursk Medical University with a full scholarship, due to his superb performance in high school. He longed to join the Russian Federation's military, in hope of adventure. As the years passed, he graduated and decided to become a military medical specialist. Before he could enlist, he pondered whether his decision would lead a fruitful future. Alas, he decided he could not bare the stress of pulling mutilated soldiers out of a blood-strewn battlefield. He remained wishing for a medical career, however. At the age of 24, he traveled to a land he heard as "The Zone". Craving adventure, he blindly set foot upon the irradiated soil of Ukraine. He was seen as an outsider, and a worthless rat during his first days. He eventually proved himself in the Zone, with time.
       He managed to join Orion's Platoon, believing they were a worthy cause. However, has his time with them ticked down, he heard of the group's horrifying past and hidden evils. He left promptly.
     Months passed, and he found another group to call home. His old acquaintance, Blade, was leading a group called "Defiance". He joined them, seeing them as a "Band of Brothers", as they called it. He eventually grew accustomed with his squadmates in such a short time. Unfortunately, an incident with a Captain caused Dmitri to exit in fierce rage. He ripped his Defiance patch, and sheltered at the Freedom base. An enraged group of Sanctioned and Defiance piled at the base, threatening an attack. The Freedomers there protected him and stood by his side. The mob left, and Dmitri was confronted by a Freedomer, perhaps an officer. He offered if Dmitri was still seeking that "Brotherhood". Dmitri nodded vigorously, and was presented the opportunity of joining Freedom, as the Freedomer requested him to join their faction.

Name: Duran Fedoseev
Age: 35
Family Members: Mother, Father, Wife, Son.
Backstory: Duran grew up in a nice home with nice parents. Though they were religious, they were not overly so. He went to church every Sunday, gave his life to the lord, and still does to this day. Growing up where he did there weren't too many opportunities, it was work at one of the farms, or go to work at the steel mill.

Working at the mill like he did, he quickly learned how to work with metal, with the added benefit of being extremely fit even though he's in his thirties. Though his hands are rough, he can work metal into any shape, and do almost anything with nothing.

Growing up poor, he also knows how to sew, and repair things, having to learn from his father to repair the family guns. Though he's no expert at what he does, and most of his more higher knowledge comes from trial and error, he can get the job done.

He is married, with a son, which is the whole reason he's in the Zone. He works at his trade for what money he can get, and sends it back to his family so they can live a better life while he lives in hell. Though he's been through a lot, he can always look to the Lord to watch over him, and he does not fear death, for his soul will go to eternal salvation. His only regret would be leaving his family with no money.

Specializations (if any): Technician and local craftsman.

   Then as I grew so did my father's and I wealth. While I was liveing the rich life I saw on the Internet a blog about the zone. The goverment did not want people outside not worry about the zone so they arrested the original poster. I became more and more instrested in the zone. But then something would change my life. The russian goverment had tracked my ip and wanted to take me to a prison so I wouldn't tell others about the zone. During the night they stormed into my home, they took my father but before they could get to my room upstairs I took drastic measures; I jumped out my window into a dumpster behind the ally of my house. Knowing I would have no where to turn I took a taxi to the nearest city to the zone. I had to do some digging to find out a sewer system that leads to the zone. I had to pay the guide a heavy fee to lead me though the sewers. I had finally made it to the zone, the only place I could be without the goverment chaseing me. But soon as I went around trying to find out where to start, a mutant appeared in front of me. My life flashed before my eyes. I thought I was going to die as I shut my eyes, then I heard a shot. I opened my eyes to see the monster dead from a bullet to the head. It was a freedomer that saved my life. He took me to their base and I told him my story. He said a scout found Military papers about a secret camp where prisioners who have done crimes against the goverment are kept.

Name: Huji Makima
Age: 27
Family Members: None
Backstory: A half Asian, half British middle class guy. He grew up in the slums of Britain being looked down upon by mostly everyone. He has no family of what he knew and was abandoned at birth. He was kept by a family who were wanting a child but they couldn't have one. So Huji was a good answer. He lived with them up to the age of 16 where he left school and his home. He ventured by himself for a long time, picking up numerous skills along the way. He only had enough money each day to feed him and spent most of his time stealing and begging.

After many years of this, he felt disgusted of how he could leave his foster parents behind with all the love and luxury they have given him, also the people he stole off would of been traumatised that they had been robbed. In doing this he wanted to give what he took back to the people and show that he is actually worth something and there is a meaning for him to live.

Huji is now 27 years old and still looking to give back what he had taken. He had been living in The Zone for 4 years, knowing his way around. All that time he had his eye on a certain Faction called "Freedom" just by the name he knew this is what he wanted but he had been plucking up the courage to apply. He started working out and getting fit, to the point today where he is ready to apply for Freedom and make a difference to The Zone.

Name: Nikolai Slovak
Age: 28
Family Members: Parents are dead and cousin went MIA in Duty
Backstory:          Nikolai was born in Turbiv, Ukraine on October 16th, 1987. His parents were proud of their first born so they named Nikolai after his grandpa. Nikolai had a happy childhood. He had lots of friends around his age and played some sports like hitting a ball with a stick or what we call baseball.
           When Nikolai turned fourteen, his father taught him how to use a rifle. So they went on many hunting trips in a forest nearby. After awhile, Nikolai became an excellent marksman. As time went by, Nikolai and his father went on a rather tragic hunting trip. During the hunt, Nikolai heard a scream coming from his father. When Nikolai ran over to see what the problem was, his dad was laying down in a pool of blood. Nikolai was very sad but then he quickly was enraged with anger and hatred. He searched around for any signs of people and then he found them. Three bandits were camped out nearby. Nikolai got out his rifle and was ready to kill. As soon as the bandits were right where he wanted them, he took the shots. After one fell the other two bandits where scared shitless. Nikolai then shot another round at one and the bandit fell over dead. Nikolai then sensed the other was running away instead of fighting back. Nikolai slinged his rifle and sprinted after the bandit. When he got close, Nikolai tackled the bandit and got out his knife and stabbed him to death. Blood was all over Nikolai but it was worth it to him.
         At age twenty-eight, Nikolai heard about the zone and wanted to explore it. The journey to the zone took two days and eleven hours. When he got there, he was astonished that the place was secured off. In order to get in, he had to sneak his way in by cutting a hole into a fence on the outer wall. Nikolai was amazed of the type of wasteland it was. After awhile, he found himself in the Freedom base of Yantar. When he learned about Freedom's goal to free the zone to all, he was all in. He wanted to fight for the zone and for everyone.

Name: Mykola Bundy
Age: 35
Family Members:
Denys Bundy -- Father -- Uman.
Anichka Bundy -- Mother -- Uman.
Akalena Bundy -- Sister -- MIA.
Backstory: In 1971, Mykola was given birth to in Uman, Ukraine. Born into a rather peaceful and normal family, Mykola was always seen as a "role model" to Akalena due to him being the older brother. This would sometimes get on Mykola's nerves due to the constant same line being stated to him; "you're supposed to her role model!" Nethertheless, Mykola rarely actually socialized with his sister until she decided to go to the military.

Once she left for the military, a message was sent to the Bundy's stating that Akalena had been sent into the "Zone" in order to help maintain "peace" in the area. Denys and Anichka desperatly wanted to see their daughter and had exchanged many heated arguements with the Ukraine military officials in a desperate attempt to be allowed into this "Zone." These arguements got heated enough that the officials deviced a plan to "eliminate" the problem. They finally gave into the constant demands of the Bundy family and allowed them to go to the Zone with a military escort. Mykola decided that he didn't want to go due to him just starting his medical degree at the age of 30.

His parents went on the trip anyway and never came back. The report on the letter that Mykola was sent said that their convoy was struck with engine problems and ended up being stuck in the middle of the Zone where contact was lost. Mykola was hit with disbelief when the letter finally came through the door -- along with his parents. They claim to have been shot at before they even made it to their "convoy." Luckily, they had just gotten out unharmed by hiding in the forests and escaping into a small town before continuing back to Uman. He cancelled his medical degree 3 months in due to his inablility to get over the fact that the military was corrupt enough to try to kill innocent people wanting to find their daughter. As he was leaving, he ended up putting a member of the students into a coma that he never recovered from. Luckily, his face was not seen. Mykola had quickly left his home after that and moved to another town further easy in an attempt to him from the police, and his family. He just couldn't be around them anymore after what he had done.

For 4 years after that, he worked in a small store, with a fake name, earning enough money to just scrape by on. Eventually, word reached him that a group of people had decided to plan a journey into the Zone to try to research it and gain some money from pictures. Mykola jumped on the opportunity without even know that they were going to be entering illegally. Once finally realising that they were going to be sneaking in, he hesitated on joining the trip till last minute where he followed the group to their meeting point. From there, Mykola and the group managed to get into the Zone after a paintaking day.

Unfortunently for Mykola, his group was struck down by a Bloodsucker when they decided to go up to it for a closer look, thinking it was friendly. From there, Mykola had started his journey in the Zone.

|In-Character Information|

Name: Johan 'Swede' Ek
Age: 32
Family Members:
Father: Deceased
Mother: Unknown
Brother: Deceased
Backstory: Born in south Sweden and was only 6 when the Chernobyl incident happened. There was not much attention given to the incident back then, as it didn't pose as a big threat to Sweden.

17 years later, I enlisted for the Swedish military and was trained there as a field medic for a year. Unfortunately, I found out, while in training, that my only brother, Jacob, got killed in a car accident. Both me and my mother (my father was already dead before I knew him) were devistated. We didn't know what to do, as none of us had a job. A week or so later, my mother married a rich man, whom I never got along with.

About a year later I found out that he was abusing my mother. That bastard would pay that night he got home from work. I decided to murder him, and murder him I did. Stab after stab, after stab. Immediately though, I regretted it deeply. I had planned this so quickly that I didn't know what to do if the cops found out. Luckily, I knew a friend who was moving to Russia and decided to take my chances and follow him there.

The moving was a success. I have lived here for about a year now and everything was getting well. I had gotten a job as a doctor and I could stay at home with my friend. From time to time, I wondered how it went with my mother. Whenever the thought came up, I usually blocked it out, as it would depress me for the whole day. However, the start of my knew life suddenly went down hill when I found out that my friend owed the Russian Mafia money. How I found out? Well when I got home one day, I saw my friend hanging from the ceiling by a rope tied around his neck. On the ground there was a note which said: ''The next one is you'' in Russian (I learned Russian as soon as I moved here). It struck me that I had to move to another country again. There was a secret stash where me and my friend used to put the cash we make, which the mob didn't find. Gathering all the money from the stash, I got on a plane to Ukraine.

In Ukraine, it didn't go as well as I thought it would. I got an apartment and had a low profile. I have acquired a fake passport with the name ''Danil Nosova'' as I arrived. Jobless as I was, I decided to enlist to the Ukrainian military (after 3 years of stay, and acquiring citizenship). The soldiers I met there weren't nice at all. Mainly because I was not of Ukrainian blood, like they were, even though I could now speak Ukrainian. I was also trained as a medic here.

Atlast, a mission to this unknown place called the ''Zone''. I was half excited and half scared as I had no idea what I would face, and this was my first real mission. I was assigned to an outpost on the edge of the zone and was told to guard it. ''Shoot anything out of order'' was the order.

A few days later, all hell came loose. These type of deformed monsters came running towards our outpost. My fellow soldiers were utterly shocked, but still had enough sense to shoot at them. I was one of the few survivors left. We all decided that the military have left us to die and decided to venture further in to the Zone, as the military wouldn't give us a nice greeting back. During our trek into the zone, two of the survivors died, leaving me the only one left. I had taken a suit from a dead person and changed it with mine as mine was ripped. This is how I ended up here in the Zone.

Name: Kiel Tokerov
Age: 27
Family Members: Mikhal Tokerov (Twin Brother), Viktoria Tokerov (Sister)
Backstory: Kiel is the third child of the Tokerov family, twin brother to the Ukrainian soldier, Mikhal. He came to the Zone for reasons different than that of his brother, wishing to know more of the area by seeing it himself, rather than by listening to the stories in bars around his hometown of Odessa. Unlike his brother who joined the military and was sent to the Zone to prevent knowledge from escaping, Kiel plans to learn all he can and share it with whomever wishes to know.

When his brother and sister both returned from the Zone, they told stories from very different points of view. Mikhal spoke of how it was a cursed, unnatural place. And Viktoria told of how people, such as Freedom and some Stalkers', only wish for the secrets of what happened in the area in and around the city of Pripyat and Chernobyl, to be knowledge accessible to the worlds scientists and adventurers. These stories became a pivotal stepping stone in his decision to see it all for himself. One day, he simply packed up some basic necessities, and made his way north to Kiev and then to the Cordon border, slipping through gaps in military lines with the help of others.
Specialization: Basic skill in multiple areas. Further training would be required to specialize in any category. He does have above average skill for manual labor tasks such as heavy lifting.

Define Injury RP: Injury roleplay is, obviously, roleplying an injury. Some people get shot and then get magically better. I feel, however, that injuries can be both physical and mental.

|In-Character Information|

Name: Maksym Sirko
Age: 24
Family Members: He is estranged from his brother and parents. 
Backstory: Maksym Sirko was born to a working class family in Kiev, the capital of the Ukraine. As a child he was held to high expectations by his mother and father, who wanted the best for both their sons. From a young age Maksym resented his parents' expectations. He felt the urge to rebel at a young age, and turned to petty theft and vandalism around his neighborhood. He gained a reputation as a misbehaving hoodlum, and tension between he and his parents grew. His father was especially disappointed, and their relationship steadily fell apart as he entered adolescence.

By the age of sixteen, Maksym's relationship with his father had completely fallen apart, despite Maksym's efforts to gain his approval. He had grown out of the petty crime of his childhood and channeled his energy into boxing. He honed his skill as a boxer and won the respect of his teammates, his coaches and all who watched him, but still his father wasn't impressed. Maksym's school work was suffering. While he wasn't a stupid boy, he hadn't been able to focus his efforts on schoolwork and therefore his marks suffered. One night, during a heated argument with his father over schoolwork, Maksym took it to blows. He struck his father for the first time in his life. He watched the old factory worker stagger backwards in shock and disgust. What little him and his father had between them was lost, and he knew it.

Maksym left his house that night feeling a horrible mix of emotions; anger, sadness, disgust, and most of all, for the first time in his life, loneliness. He managed to get on a train and head for France.

He arrived in France after a week of travel. With all his money spent on his ticket there, he arrived at the French Foreign Legion recruitment office in Paris with little more than his passport and the clothes on his back. He was quick to sign the forms and accept a five year contract as a legionnaire. Now known as Marcel Reaume, he hoped to leave his past behind him and create a new identity for himself. As he put on his uniform for the first time, he felt different. He put on his white legion cap and admired himself in the mirror. No longer was he Maksym Sirko, failure to his parents and batterer of his father. He was Legionnaire Marcel Reaume. He was ready and willing, he thought, to fight and die for the Legion and for France until the end of his days.

At first he resented the level of discipline the legion required, but any resentment was promptly beaten out of him within the first week of training. He was quickly transformed into a Legionnaire. He found himself good at soldiering and he fit in quite well with his comrades. Following his training, he was sent to the barren deserts of Djibouti to defend the long-forgotten French territory from violent locals.

He spent his five years in the Legion fighting around the world. It wasn't something he enjoyed. He watched his closest friends die off one by one. "Pierre Laroche," stepped on a landmine in Djibouti and died of his wounds in the middle of the desert. "Noram Lachance," a jolly Chinaman and close friend, killed by a snake in the remote jungles of South America. "Frederick Guerraume," a fellow Ukranian and his closest friend, beaten to death during a riot in a shanty town somewhere in the Congo. The list goes on; he stopped keeping track. The deaths of his friends shouldn't have bothered him. "You join the Legion to die," they say. It was something every legionnaire accepted. Maksym was just a boy, turned into a man beyond his years by the harsh guidance of the French Foreign Legion.

He left the French Foreign Legion after his first contract. Denying French Citizenship and his identity as Marcel Reaume, he found himself as Maksym Sirko for the first time in five years. Even although only his name had changed, Maksym felt very different. He hadn't been "himself" in five years, and the time he had been "away" changed him dramatically. He didn't know what to feel or what to do. With five years of Legion pay in his pocket, he made his way back to Kiev to his family and friends.

His father opened the door to a barely recognizable Maksym in his Legionnaire uniform. He was invited in curtly where he saw his mother and brother again. The reunion was awkward and tense, falling short of Maksym's expectations.

Maksym spent two weeks in Kiev. He met all the people he knew, but things weren't the same. Old friends had moved on and forgotten about him. When he suddenly reappeared in their lives, they had lost a lot of affection for him. They listened to his stories of adventure, hardship and camaraderie with feigned interest, some of them even dismissing the tales as lies. His return had done nothing but open up old wounds within his family and provide a slight annoyance to the people who were once his friends. He came to a sad, sickening realization; he didn't matter to anyone. With this, he packed his things and headed off to the Zone in search of adventure, wealth, and more importantly, his identity. The French Foreign Legion had damaged Maksym and left him in an identity crisis. He liked to think that the Zone could help him find out who he was.

Upon arriving in the zone, he met a good friend Emorlai. They became travel companions and helped each other survive. Their time in the zone was relatively uneventful, until one day when Maksym stumbled upon a bandit and was shot in the leg. Days later, after receiving first aid for his minor wound, he rallied his friend Emorlai and two new friends to search of the bandit who had wronged him. Maksym was not used to being a victim. Along the way they met Church, who agreed to help them bring the bandit his comeuppance for a share of the loot.

The part of five infiltrated the bandit lair, looting as they went. Deep into the tunnels they found the bandit and his slave. Church shot the bandit, freeing the slave. The group of five left the tunnels with fat pockets and a new friend (maybe).

Maksym is no longer content with wandering the Zone with his friends aimlessly. He seeks purpose, companionship and respect within his new home. His sometimes obnoxious and happy-go-lucky attitude is merely a coping method. He does his best to deal with the sadness, loneliness, and the tremendous level of guilt he feels. He tries hard to bottle up and leave behind his past and to come to terms with his identity crisis.


Specialization: Maksym has good soldiering skills, including marksmanship, fieldcraft, and leadership. As an NCO in the Legion he was taught the fundamentals of leadership in warfare, including how to lead men to close with and kill an enemy, control a riot, and secure and hold a perimeter. He would be suited to a variety of positions within Freedom.

|Faction Related Information|

What is Freedom's ideology?: That the zone should be open to all who wish to enter it, and its "secrets" should be shared with the public.
Why do you wish to join Freedom?: It seems like an interesting, active faction. The faction would suit my character well, as he is aligned with the "good side."
Why should Freedom pick you?: ICly, my character would fit right in and is eager to make a positive difference within the Zone and within the faction. OOCly, I like to think that I'm an intelligent, competent roleplayer. I also try to be friendly and easy to get along with.
How well do you know Freedomers?: Not very well. My character is new to the zone, but has introduced himself to several Freedomers when he inquired about an application. He does know and agree with the Freedomer's cause and mission.
Who is the Freedom Leader?: Nikolai Leninkov, OOC name Negative Zero

|Other Information|

Define Injury RP: Injury RP is the roleplay of injuries your character has sustained. This involves more than just mentioning that you have sustained the injuries; this involves using /me to roleplay pain and handicap realistically. Nothing kills atmosphere more than seeing someone get shot five times and walk away like it was nothing. If you're going to mention an injury, you damn well better roleplay it properly.
Define Metagaming: Metagaming is the use of knowledge or information attained Out of Character for In Character purposes. Metagaming ruins the roleplay experience for everyone, especially if the setting is a competitive one such as STALKER RP. As an experienced roleplayer I realize that it is not about playing to win, it's about playing to develop your character. Metagaming does little to develop character and shows immaturity and selfishness.
Define Metaspeak: I've never heard this term used before, but I imagine it is very closely linked to Metagaming. Perhaps the perpetuation or promotion of metagaming? I'm not sure, but if you could clear this up for me I'll be sure to avoid doing it.
Define RDM (Random Deathmatch): Random Death Match is the killing of a character (not necessarily perma-kill) for no IC reason. It interrupts roleplay and ruins the atmosphere, as well as sometimes sparking a bout of unseriousness on the server. While RDM is the worst kind of deathmatching, all deathmatching is wrong. If you are going to kill a character, perma or not, the least you can do is roleplay it.
Will you take responsibility for your actions?: Of course I will. Part of roleplay is accepting responsibility and dealing with the consequences of your character's actions. That's how your character is developed without becoming a Mary Sue.
Will you actively use the forums?: Yes!
Recommendations from Freedomers: eroticduck who just got accepted into Freedom. Even if that doesn't really count, I hope my application is good enough.

~ NegativeZero: You will be put on trial as a rookie until you show that you are a capable Freedomer.  This means you will only get a suit and some basic weapons. If you break any of the "Laws of Freedom" you will have one warning before you are removed. Good backstory, by the way.
