Igor and Sergei tried to go a circle around the zone, as they didn't want to get in trouble, but as some mountains blocked our way there, it looked like they needed to go through the zone.

But it turned out to be a bad day for Igor and Sergei, as it was a group of Monolith patrolling at the same time. Igor got hit by the back of an AK, and therefore going unconcious. Sergei was lucky, and managed to escape away from the zone.

When Igor woke up the next day, he was still at the same location, bleeding out of his forhead. Igor needed to seek help, so he ran into the town, in the zone.
There was no one around, as Igor got there, he managed to enter a camp, Luckily there was some stalkers, who dragged him into a building. Igor thought and hoped he was in safe now.

As Igor's only way to earn money, was to basicly find trash, and sell it. He didn't get much food, neither much water. So, he decided something should change, he would sacrifice his life, working for Freedom, so he decided to join the faction. But untill further, he needed to collect trash and do jobs for people.

One day, Igor didn't have much to do, he wandered around, looking for any other stalkers, when he suddently met a patrol of Freedom members.

|In-Character Information|

Name: Pavel Kaminski
Age: 37
Family Members: Father, two brothers and a sister.

Backstory:

Pavel is an easy-going guy, but vicious when it comes to defending his friends.  He says that he can fix anything, and like any Russian, he loves his vodka and keeps his AK close.

Born into a rough life and forced to work the factories at a young age, Pavel began to marvel at the feats of engineering and how machines worked.  With the invasion of Afghanistan, instead of waiting to be conscripted, he enlisted with the tank corps.  There he learned to operate a T-62 and was designated gunner shortly before being deployed.

His crew and himself became known for their prowess in the field, and became highly decorated after a nearly day long stand off alone against Afghan fighters.  They returned home without a scratch and their uniforms covered in patches and medals.  Soon however, this meant nothing, as their comrades pulled out of Afghanistan and the Soviet Union collapsed shortly after.  Leaders saw the soldiers merely as something in the way, and ranks and decorations were stripped away and were now meaningless.

Pavel became a mechanic, working cars and fixing parts.  Years passed, as news of the Zone and its many riches spread.  He had enough of sitting around, he needed to get back into the action.

Specialization: Fairly skilled mechanic, basic military training.

|In-Character Information|

Name: Matthias Gerris
Age: twenty-eight
Family Members: Brother, Father, Mother.
Backstory: He was born in Oklahoma. Tulsa, to be more exact. The Gerris family has always been proud of their last name, so they decided to give Matthias a first name that 'sounded good' with Gerris. Naturally, it had to sound Greek. Or, Latin. Or whatever it is. His father was interested in guns. They owned a lot of weapons, seeing as how they were a bit above average in their yearly income (his father was working in the oil business, very high up)  His father taught him a lot about weapons, and by the time he was  eight, he was starting to shoot too. Mostly just hunting rifles, so he didn't have any experience with automatic weapons.

After his frequently zig-zagging grades throughout Elementary, he began to get it together in High-school, and after a few short medical classes, he found he was doing very well. So, as soon as he got into college, he started taking more advanced medical classes, which he aced. After six years studying medical, he went on to study even more advanced medical well after college. Wound treatment, surgery, and a little bit of genetics were his specialty, not only because he was good, but because he was and still is extremely interested in all things medical.
When he hit twenty seven years of age, He went to Ukraine to study with other very well known doctors, and share experience. This led to his finding out about Chernobyl, and one of his patients who was being treated for multiple medical problems, got him interested by talking about his experiences, and explaining how he had accumulated all of these medical issues. So, without telling anyone, he left everything behind, and joined up with a few of the mans friends that were going back. They made a run for the border, but were caught as they tried to get through by a military patrol, who opened fire. One of the men were hit immediately, and killed right there. The rest of them kept running, not looking back. This is where he met up with Freedomers, who had been busted up by reasons never known to him. He treated them with what he could, and in return they brought him to Freedom, where he basically settled down, and helped with any medical problems needed.

Specializations (if any): Not to make myself look better than everyone else or anything, but I specialize in the medical field, and do quite well. I've worked on many patients, including Goose and Seth from Freedom.

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.

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.

Define Metaspeak: Well this a rather new term but I believe its basically talking like a non-serious douchebag. For example: "hey guys g2g, c u l8r" or " U are a n00b" in IC

Name: Vasilli Nikolaev
Age:34
Family Members: Father and Mother, both deceased|A brother|
Backstory: The son of a middle class family of four, he was the last child to be born. Growing up in a suburban

neighborhood with a pleasant school, Vasilli was an outgoing student until his later years. The dying soviet grip still

had a chokehold on what the schools could teach. He refused to learn russian, and wrote his schoolwork in Ukrainian. He

was expelled. A year later, his father died working at the steel mills.
   Vasilli was forced into the world of labor as a apprentice at his fathers old job, The Steel Mills. Of all the

years he spent there, Vasilli was a miserable man. He was treated as inexperienced, and the other workers used his

father as an insult to him, making the job intolerable.
   At age 30, Vasilli met up with an old friend who traveled the zone. The man gave Vasilli a guide to the Cordon,

where his friend met the Military, dying at the checkpoint. Vasilli quickly moved on after doing some jobs for

Sidorvich. He made his way through the garbage, where he met Duty. He had always been told they were a stalker friendly

faction, but these men robbed him, forcing him to pay his rubles to go through the gate to the Army Warehouses, where

he stayed for awhile before moving deeping into the zone.

|In-Character Information|

Name: Mikhail Andropov
Age: 28
Family Members: None
Backstory:
After the Chernobyl Disaster Mikhail selected himself to help repopulate the place.
He joined a group of Stalkers which where on the way for a place called "The Zone" to instead repopulate the place actually scavenge around, because the Chernobyl Disaster created unknown artifacts which could contain the biggest miracles of the world (and the most wealth).
Because Mikhail was quite a greedy fellow he decided to stay with the group of Stalkers for he wanted to find the so called Artifact's which he could sell for a very nice price.

After Mikhail worked with the group of stalkers for a while he became a good friend with "Yuri Matoski"
and they sticked around with eachother alot, however...
On a day the group of Stalkers went out artifact hunting, Mikhail heard from one of the Stalkers the place could be filled with bigger mutants then usuall. (As Mikhail was not that far in the zone the mutants they met where most of the time small mutated rats.)
Once they reached the place the team seperated into 3 teams of 2 people, Mikhail went with his friend Yuri.
They explored abit into the place, as there was a tunnel system which however didn't contain anything.
As They where about to return to the others they heard a scream, they ran to the sound and saw a fellow stalker standing in the distance.
Mikhail called for him but he didn't seem to hear it, next moment the stalker turns around and starts shooting randomly at Mikhail and Yuri.
Yuri quickly took out a pistol and shot the poor bastard.
After we checked his body we noticed the vains on his head where extremely thick, like his brains where almost burned out.
Then...........It happend.
A, so called, Controller came around the corner, Everything went blue and nuts for Mikhail, he couldn't move, he was nailed to the ground, so was Yuri, it looked like they where doomed.
But suddenly out of nowhere bullets fly over Yuri and Mikhail hitting the controller, it didn't kill it but did scare it enough to make it run, causing Mikhail and Yuri to be able to move again.
After they escaped the terrible death they faced and went outside they realised it was a random Stalker Squad that helped them out, they where lucky to meet them.
Yuri also noticed that the rest of Yuri and Mikhail's Stalker Group didn't made it, so they had to go on alone.
Since then Mikhail and Yuri are working together working as a pair of stalkers, slowly progressing trough the zone.

|In-Character Information|

Name: ' Dweller '
Age: 32
Family Members: Deceased
Backstory:
I know very little of my childhood, Only to grow up knowing that my parents were not there for me and somehow i survived, they were dead to me. I had most look when i grew up, Several events drove me to become paranoid until one day i found the common safe haven called the bar. I began to drop by every so often, Coming out sober....Soon the barkeeper asked me if i was under emplyment and took me on, I was behind the bar at Eighteen....And Sober!

Before i entered the zone i had never heard of it. I had always wondered of why so many people passed by, Why so many tourists passed and never came back. Also the Military activity had risen, I then overheard a man in my local bar, he spoke of the zone...His buddies trying to shut him up, Obvisouly was too drunk to keep his trap shut. I thought it over, Months and months, My family had deserted me, Somehow i survived, Wondered if the zone could be any worse....I was stupid and didn't understand any risks. I followed a group into this so called "Zone" and chose a Nickname..."Wolf."
I entered with several friendly stalkers... "Golem" "Jackhammer" and "Cobra" I felt left out, Thats why i chosen my nickname.

Known as Wolf, I owned several weapons that including a VSS and a SPAS. I did several jobs for Freedom back in the day... That including Guarding Seth and helping Goose, Both i have been told have gone...

Since then i have changed my name to Dweller, Due to certain problems with bandits. I had a price on my head due to myself taking out several bandits and most likely killing the wrong one. Since then i have held my head high and took care of my problems. I have developed my own trading business but that went bust- Due to bandits, Once agian.

I thought it was time to move on, Conversations led me to believe there was riches in Pripyat so i closed shop, Got a SEVA and headed there. On my way i encountered several strange things, Blurred vision, Hylushionations and the dead...This may sound strange i know... But this is what led to me having a burnt face and a disability of one eye.

I wasn't fully concentrating, I saw a dead man here, A monolith there then i stepped into a anomoly, It spun me around and around, Broke my visor then unleashed radiation through it. It was causing too much pain, So i cut out the eye, bandaged the scarring and hoped for the best.

Now i have returned, Visor fixed. SVD Lost, But Groza found. Ready to help Freedom once again, Like old times, But with the exceptions of a few good friends. I am here to help, To serve and to fight the common enemy. I am willing to give up my Rubles to aid our brothers in battle. I am willing to give my life.

Skill Set: Close Combat Firearms. (Groza)

Name: Nikolai Leninkov
Age: 51
Family Members: Boris Leninkov, Belinda Leninkov, Dimitri Leninkov, Gregori Leninkov, Nadia Leninkov

Backstory: *Messy handwriting done in pencil* Well, where do I begin... Suppose I'll start with my family as a child. My mom's name was Nadia and my father's Gregori. My father was a drunken bastard, and he knew it. He wasnt abusive or anything, he just didnt have the slightest clue what "saving" money meant. Needless to say, we didnt have much. I got a job at a factory when I was about 14 or so. It was boring and tedious, as I remember though I dont remember exactly what I made for 10 hours a day. Things got a little better with the extra income. Eventualy they closed down the factory for god-knows why. This meant I didn't have a job. Some time went by and I realised I didnt need money. Five-finger discount, and there were plenty of shady chumps willing to buy for half the price what I'd stolen for free. Things are mostly a blur... Last thing I remember after that I was knee deep in arms dealership and I was roughly 20 or so at the time... Those were the good years. Selling shitty Second-World-War era guns and making a killing, in more ways than one. To be honest, I had it made. Money, a house, a new girl every night and food on the table. Eventualy I pissed a few assholes off doing this and that and the drive-bys started. Don't know why, but back then I was a scared little pussy. I Ran off and hid. Things go a little blurry again and now Im working as a mercenary for the first time doing small stuff. Getting money from this guy, beating up that guy, you know. Eventualy I got into the heavier stuff. Working for drug lords and the like, hell, even got a contract with some higher-up in the US army. By now its the '90s and the Americans have launched thier gay little "Desert Storm", which I was put into. Me and about a hundred other mercs were given fake papers, uniforms and guns and sent up from the south, to make sure the assholes went where they were supposed to go, which was north. So me and about a hundred other guys are comming up from behind thier main force. Things are going real well. They're trying to retreat and we're attacking them. Easy pickings, until they got to a trench line. I hoped into a trench to find myself face-to-face with some asshole. I pulled my trigger first and unloaded a clip into him. What was left of him landed on top of me. Not fun. Fucker probably started my insanity. Anyway, I nailed another 11 assholes  in the operation, and earned myself an extended contract. For the next 10 or 15 years I criss crossed the Atlantic, stoping in America to fuel up on booze and girls, then heading back out under a different identity while one was on leave "visiting his family" or "wounded". Eventualy the Americans pussyed out and my contract expired. So I made my way to Portugal on a ship then back packed across Europe, spending what money I'd bothered to save along the way. Eventualy I ended up in the Ukrain. By now the zone has been created and people have thier nuts in a knot about it, so Boris and I decided to head on in. He was on the run from the government or something and I knew I was wanted in Russia. You know how things went after this, Yrui so I wont bother explaining them to you. I hope this is enough and I can get out of these puke covered clothes now and into that flecktarn camo I love so much.

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: Yuri Maskov
Age: 34
Family Members: Boris Maskov (brother)
Sasha Maskov (mother) (deceased)
Vladimir Petrovich (step-father) (deceased)
Backstory: He was born on a small farm outside of a tiny town in the Ukrainian countryside, a ways away from the zone. Life wasn't very hard, his family were farmers. His dad had left his mother when he was born, never came back. Hs mother barely managed to keep the farm going during his toddler years. Still they made it somehow, his mother always said he was blessed, "and never forget it," she would say. She had no idea how right she was.
By the time he was six, he was helping on the farm. He didn't get a very good education but it was enough; when he was seven his mother remarried and had his brother, Boris. When he turned thirteen he started hunting in the woods with the family's old hunting rifle. He quickly found that he a knack for it; he put food on the table in times of hunger. He would grow to be quite the marksman.
   So life continued like that for a while. One day when he was eighteen he went out hunting and unknowingly crossed into an unmarked, unguarded part of the zone. He saw something moving in the distance, he thought it was a deer, but he found himself staring down the scope at a bloodsucker. Somehow it saw him and charged toward him, he shot it with a clean shot through the head. Not knowing what to do, he dragged the corpse back to the town. He then called someone from the government, explaining what he had found. The government worker told him to hide it and a team would come get it. Little did he know, the team wasn't just coming for the body.
   The next day he was out hunting to clear his head, when he heard shots, they were coming from his farm. Sprinted over a mile back to his farm, what he saw he couldn't believe. His mother and stepfather were lying dead on the living room floor shot to death. He heard a whimpering coming from the closet. His brother told him some soldiers came to the farm looking for him, his brother was hiding in the closet because he was in the middle of hide and seek with their mother. When his mother and stepfather told the soldiers he was out they executed them and took the corpse of the bloodsucker. Just after his brother finished talking, there were shots heard, coming from the town.
   Yuri check outside to see if there were any soldiers around, after seeing there were none, he gave his brother the keys to the family's soviet era sedan and told him to drive as far as he could away from the town. After his brother was gone, Yuri dashed into the woods, heading for town. By the time he got there, the soldiers had killed everyone, and were sweeping the town. After he saw everyone was dead, he tried to sneak away but a truck full of soldiers on the road saw him and opened fire. He fled into the forest, losing his rifle. He decided to hide in the one place they wouldn't look; he made his way into the zone and started his life as a stalker. Not long after fleeing to the zone he came across Freedom, they shared many of his beliefs and decided he wanted to join them.

|In-Character Information|

Name: Nik Dostoevsky
Age: 37
Family Members: N/A
Backstory: Nik started out in the back alleyways and streets of Ukraine and the other former USSR countries as a bit of a crook. Muggings and drug deals were the norm for him for the majority of his teenage years, but it's not like he had a choice, he had a younger brother dying of leukemia to feed and keep sheltered, as his father abandoned them at birth. His mother was a junkie who died in a car accident, unable to take care of them. As the years passed Nik's brother's condition got worse, and eventually he died, putting Nik into a spiraling depression like no other. He lived on his own in his early twenties, not caring about life until he got offered a chance at the big leagues of crime.

Pushing his past away, he jumped into a whole new world of crime, including drug smuggling, murder, and much more sinister stuff. He got caught up in the whole scene and never once looked back. He was the best at what he did in eastern Europe- drug smuggling and mass distribution. He's never once got caught, until he got caught up with a newer group of crooks that ended up getting busted. In his mid twenties he was convicted of multiple felonies and thrown into prison.

Even in prison he still had connections- so he became popular. He started smuggling in stuff into prison, starting out small with cigarettes and knives, moving up to actual prison break equipment and plans. Him and some of his former gang members ended up breaking out one night, escaping to a truck that awaited to bring them into the Zone. They had nowhere else to go, and at the time, the Zone was still normal- just pockets of radiation and abandoned buildings. They all thought they'd make a living off of collecting scrap and hiding from the authorities in the Zone. They were wrong.

2006. The second major explosion from the Zone's center is about to hit, and about to change the Zone forever. Nik's made a good life so far in the empty Zone, better than in prison but not as good as on the streets he was so familiar with. He and his group are living with an elderly woman in Pripyat. The blowout occurs, wiping the Zone clean except for Nik's group and the elderly woman. Anomalies start to flood the fallen city, along with Monolith- people he's never seen before. He manages to escape along with a few other ex-cons into the outer circles of the Zone, the rest of his crew caught by Monolith or killed by anomalies.

He manages to live in the outer reaches of the Zone for several years, watching the Zone as it changed from a simple cordoned ghost town into a thriving pit of villainy and riches. He stays away from most of the action, staying in the rookie areas and keeping to himself. He stays neutral as he watches factions form, mutants appear, and settlements become established. It is now present day. He's been working with the Ecologists/Mobile Science Lab mostly, helping them map out the areas because of his well-toned knowledge of the Zone. He also assists/manages the majority of the smuggling of goods in and out of the Zone, never once being compromised.

Skill Set: Excellent with handguns, experienced smuggler, good at managing raids.

|Faction Related Information|

What is Freedom's ideology?: Freedom believes that the world should have free, open access to the Zone and the secrets it holds, believing it will benefit everyone and that freedom should have it's way.

Why should Freedom pick you?: I've got much roleplay experience under my belt, and I will bring exciting and passive RP scenarios to Freedom's table, never disappointing or abusing my granted power.
How well do you know Freedomers?: My main character assists freedom a lot, hangs out with members, and does what he can to gain their trust and support. I know them fairly well, and I think becoming a part of them will help me get closer and will help me know them better.

|In-Character Information|

Name: Yurvos 'Dead-shot' Maximov
Age: 29
Family Members: Niko Maximov (UNKNOWN), Jean Maximov (UNKNOWN), Viktor Maximov (UNKNOWN)
Backstory:     Yurvos grew up in a small town off the borders off Russia. At that time, as a boy, he wasn't some adventurer, just a simply average boy, like the rest of the world. Him and his brothers were the best of friends, the looked out for eachother. Even when in school, if one of them was being bullied, the other would go up and punch the bully, whether they got beat up or not, they remained friends. Years passed, they grew up. Still good brothers, and friends. Yurvos always kind to Niko. And Niko always kind to Yurvos. The problem was, their family was poor. Their father mentioned something about a mystical place called "The Zone" and went into it, promising to be back within the year and come home rich.

        Unforunetly, that wasn't the case. 7 years passed before Yurvos and Niko were 18. Yet, their father did not return. They both ended up going to college. Niko got a masters degree in marketing. And Yurvos got a bachelors degree in science. But, when they returned home, their house was non-existant. It was burned down, Nothing left of their childhood memories. Their mother was nowhere to be found. Seemingly missing. The only evidence she was ever there was their mailbox, having a map inside...A map of 'The Zone'. It had all the entry points that were unguarded. They bothed looked at the map, astounded. Yurvos turned the map over, there was writting on it.

"If you are reading this, something has gone horribly wrong. All you need to know is this..Run. They'll come looking for you and kill you, since you know about 'The Zone.' Believe me, you'll be safer in a strange place rather than a place where the government is after you..."

        At that point, Yurvos recognized where the map location was. Ukraine. The general area was around a city called Chernobyl. Which nor Yurvos or Niko had heard anywhere. The year is 2013 when Yurvos and NIko arrive in the zone.

        Both of them caught on slowly. Both used to having has food avaliable at their whim along the way. They starved some nights. And barely got /edible/ food, for their standards. They were known as STALKERS now. Both of them hid in the zone, trying to avoid the military at all costs. They always searched for artifacts, but never found any. Yurvos' and Niko's brotherhood and friendship went on, Until they stumbled upon a artifact.. Niko and Yurvos fought over the artifact, both engaged at its firey glory. But it was a simple fireball. Niko got Yurvos in a grip, a greedy, selfish grip. And then slammed him against a concrete wall, disorienting him. Niko then grabbed the artifact, staring into it's trancing gaze, and put it in his jacket. Just then, a bloodsucker came at them, popping out of no where, observing the fight until the right moment...

        Niko did the unthinkable..He ditched his own brother and let the bloodsucker charge his brother, not pulling out his viper at all too save him, disappearing out of sight. Yurvos attempted to get his makarov out in time after getting up, but it was too late, the bloodsucker charged him, knocking him into the wall, again, and dropping his gun aswell. Yurvos stumbled to get his makarov, but he was picked up and thrown onto some traintracks right as he grabbed his makarov. But, Out of the corner of his eye, a man in a brown trenchcoat starts unloading his AKS on the sucker, saving Yurvos' life...For the moment. Yurvos poorly attempted to get up, still shaken and disoriented.

       By the time Yurvos looks over to the bloodsucker, it has killed the man with the trenchcoat, as it screams at Yurvos, and charges him. Time slowed down, Yurvos' adrenaline rushing, as he aims his only chance of surivival at the bloodsucker..He closes his eyes, and pulls the trigger. The bloodsucker is hit square in the right eye, falling dead. Yurvos cannot believe what he just pulled off.. Going against his will, he heads over to the now dead trenchcoat, and loots him, getting blood all over himself. At that point, Yurvos named himself 'Dead-eye'. He disregards his name 'Maximov' and 'Yurvos' As it reminds him of his brother, Niko.

       Yurvos made a living for himself helping out bartenders or traders, helping other stalkers, and generally doing everything he can. One day, he stumbles upon Freedom. He steps inside, looking around. Amazed at how armed and well trained these /Stalkers/ seem to be. As the weeks pass, he begins to understand Freedom. How they work, who they hate, their beliefs. Yurvos finds out he shares the same beliefs as these stalkers that banded together. And he also needs a place to stay. Someone who wont hire him to do dirty work, or help them rob someone. These are people who will actually help you..and call you, 'Comrade'...

|In-Character Information|

Name: Polonov Stravinci
Age: 31
Family Members: Dimitri Stravinci (Alive), Vinya Stravinci (Alive).

Backstory: Living an average childhood in the province of Voronezh, Polonov constantly wondered what he'd do when he grew up and left his small family, it was a question that was always on his mind, yet could not be answered no matter how many years went by as he grew more every year. Eventually when the time came to leave, the question was still left unanswered. He often felt lost when he sat in his small apartment, always thinking of what would become of him later in his life. All he knew was that his rent was due in a few weeks and that he was damn near broke without a job.

Waking up one morning and finding the will to leave and go see what work he could get for what little bit of education he received. He eventually came upon a small carpenters shop on the ass end of the town with a old faded sign with " HELP WANTED" written on it, shrugging off his fears he went in to sign up for the job even though later he wished that he punched the old cynical carpenter in face and continued looking, but his rent was coming up soon and there was no way in hell that he was gonna sleep out in the street for a few days until he got a job to pay for it.

The first few years actually seemed pretty good for a time, until his boss's wife left him for a guy who seemed to have more money in the bank that what the old man could seem to make in a year. All Polonov knew was that everything was going to turn to shit from now on.

**Twelve years later

"I'm going to tell you for the last goddamn time, we do NOT give refunds for things that have been held for over a year." Polonov tried to explain to the persistent young woman who seemed to not know what the hell a statue of limitations was. Sure she might have had a college diploma from a credible university, but she seemed to think she was so smart that ignorance ruled over common sense in her little world. After saying the same thing over and over again for the last hour, he had enough, he took whatever pocket change he had on him and shoved it into the woman's face before driving her out of the shop so he could properly tell his boss to go to hell and that he quit.

Soon after that, he found himself with no job, little money left over, with only a few days left before he got kicked out of his apartment, having little choice left he packed whatever belonged to him that he would need: only one change of clothes, his passport and birth certificate, and enough money to tide him over until he passed the border into Ukraine.
It took longer than he expected to get to the closest city near the border, but even though it was tough getting there, it was worth it in the end.

Soon after arriving at the city, he decided to give up on finding a job as a civilian and went to the nearest military recruitment station he could find and actually get a job that would be considered honorable, or at least get a bunk and some food at the risk of being sent off to a frontline somewhere. Kharkov was an OK looking place, but most of the people he saw just acted too damn nice or were overly polite as if they had something to worry about that kept them so well-mannered.

His visit in the city was brief, he began training in the nearby area outside of Sumy that had been recently deforested for the recruits gathered in the region. The two-week basic training faded by quickly, the work and exercise was actually a welcome thing to his life, it helped give him some focus for the days ahead. The beginning of the third week began with evaluation for specialization, deployment to existing outposts, and border watches along with some large garrisons near major cities. Very few actually went on to specialize in any field, most learned demolitions or engineering but for Polonov it was off to a posting at the Chernigov Garrison.

It was a short four months before being transferred to the border of the exclusion zone, compared to the large city of Chernigov, the land covering the distance between Chernobyl NPP and his posting was like driving endlessly through the middle of nowhere. And the training before being shipped out was useless, giving some vague explanations of what might await us at the border and warnings about certain procedures that should be taken when venturing inside the zone. Yet none of it would prepare anybody for what they would see.

On a patrol into the zone, a bloodsucker that must have been stalking the patrol Polonov was assigned to because it struck at moment they were weakest, having stopped to set up camp for a prolonged stay in the field they had left their weapons unattended, making them easy prey for the mutant. The rest that followed was carnage, with men having large gashes torn straight through kevlar vests and clothing, while others were drained or dragged off screaming. Except for Polonov who luckly managed to avoid most of it while gathering dry brushes and sticks to start along a fire, being far from HQ and the only radio in the camp being guarded by a bloodsucker he did what he had to do, he ran and kept running until he was winded and had to stop to catch his breath behind a tree.

Knowing if he went back the way he came, and managed to reach another patrol he might be already listed as dead or deserted which might have ended up getting him killed or court-martialed. Not wanting to have to deal with either he discarded most of his gear that would have associated him with the military and only kept his gun and basic fatigues while he prepared himself to find his way in the Zone and maybe run into some luck by passing as a stalker.







Skill Set: Military Training in the use and maintenance of standard warsaw pact firearms.

Name: John Weston.
Age: 25 years of age.
Family Members: I have a cousin named Andrew Walkers.

Backstory: My name is John Weston.  I was started to become interested in my medical studies around my teen years.  I was about 15 when I noticed that I wanted to become a field medic in the Russian army.  So, I studied up, I continued my studies out of high school in 1991 when the Soviet Union began to collapse.  I applied to a collage in Northern Russia which accepted me right away, I did not know what was to happen next until I reached the collage.

      When I reached the collage and was ready to begin my collage studies I was called to a meeting among other young medical colleges.  I soon realized why they had accepted me right away, for they had a job for us.  Up until then I had not known about this area called "The Zone" in which our job was about.  We were to enter "The Zone" with radiation suits and other things to equip us for the terrain and harsh environment.  Of course, we had the choice to either accept the job or continue studying at the collage campus.  It was, a matter of life or death in "The Zone" , but many accepted under those terms because of the high pay and your ability to leave school to research this area.  One of them was me.  I wanted to study the area because of my adventurous life style and the fact we were being payed at a higher price than a doctor.  We left in 1992 after a year of training and study on what was already known of this area.  We were assigned to a group called Group Zeta.  The Zeta were a group of medical scientists with the protection of Mercenaries and the correct medical tools to study the area.

  When we entered the zone, we encountered mutants or mutated humans from "The Zones" past.  Zombies, Mutant dogs , all sorts of things that you could never imagine.  We were to study these Mutants and find a way to cure them or kill them off.  This is how I found the Freedom fighters.  I was studying a "Controller", or a mutant that used psych power against men.  Little did I know but this controller was fooling us all for it awoke and pushed me back.  A mercenary that was standing near by was disorientated and shot one of the fellow scientists beside him in the leg.  The brutally and intelligence of this mutant was surprising for most mutants were half dead.  I ran outside the tent that I was working in to find the whole camp was under attack by zombies.  It was horrific so I jumped in a buggy at the last moment taking off hearing the screams of my friends behind me.  I would never forget that day, but I mustn't forget the reason I came here.  Separated and cut off I found a small town.  I meet a fellow named Seth Gecko and wanted to join the cause of saving "The Zone" for research.  I was to agree to become a field medic and forget my past as a scientist, well at least until the zone was saved.  Thats my story.

Specializations (if any):
I am a medical scientist so if anything I could be a great medic.

A resistance group versus any of the faction who attempt to kill of and contain the zone and its people.  They want to be able to give free access to any human being wishing to enter the zone.  They are not fixed on war and killing, but just to keep the zone free from it. 

Why do you wish to join Freedom?:
I wish to join for I love the idea of becoming a freedom fighter to protect others, such as resistance from Half life role play.  It is the first faction I am interested in on SRP and I wish to learn about them more.  I am not just basing everything on Hl2rp but I see it at that.

Why should Freedom pick you?:
I am a very experienced role player.  I've achieved many factions on Mobius Game Severs.  If I cannot convince you OOCly then I will convince you IC as I am a great role player.  I wish to learn of stalker role play and its factions.

How well do you know Freedomers?:
Who is the Freedom Leader?: Seth Gecko

Initially it looked pretty good, but there are quite a few misspellings and plotholes. For one, the server does not take place in 1992. Unless you stayed in that small town for a decade, this doesn't make much sense. I also don't quite get why a college student would suddenly decide to join a band of "freedom fighters" after seeing such a horrific event as a Controller attack. Also, as you've apparently reposted this application and it said that you will actively use the forums and you have a total of five posts, i'm forced to believe you've lied there. You also do not roll your shoots in STM fights, you're simply supposed to let the other guy respond. If you still want to join up, try to fix all these issues and post another application in two weeks. Oh, and there have been two leaders since Seth. - Nargotah

|In-Character Information|

Name:  Leshiy "Spray" Vaelyom
Age: 20
Family Members: Konstyantyn 'Spike' Vaelyom(Brother) Parents: Fedir & Bohuslav Vaelyom (Unknown Whereabouts, presumed still in Kiev)

Backstory: Born into a middle-class family being raised by a strict  prominent military father, also known as "Major" Vaelyom and a stay-at-home nationalist mother, Leshiy and his brother Konstyantyn had it cut out for them to become just like their father. But things didn't really turn out to be how his father liked, despite how much he drilled into their heads what he thought was right and wrong. But like any other kid their age , they would constantly get in trouble, getting caught stealing from the marketplace at times, always getting away with it until their father Fedir caught onto them. Every time their parents turned around Leshiy and Konstyantyn would be up to some other kinds of shenanigans, running through the back-alleys of Kiev playing games with their close friend 'Polly' and their other children around their age.

Many years later Leshiy, his brother, and 'Polly' had grown up into teenagers, the rest of his gang growing up and going separate ways as most growing individuals do. The three had made a living of transporting goods on foot from store to store, seeing as they grew up running everywhere (due to the crowded streets) they were the best couriers in all of Kiev (or atleast they liked to think so) and trying to make it through the military school they were put into by their father. Neither Leshiy or his brother liked going through this seeing as Leshiy wasn't too "book smart" as one would say and Konstantyn was doing fine but hated to live with going through drills every morning and have his hair chopped off. After  a while of trying to make their father proud with their hard work in the military academy they finally got sick of it, seeing as whatever they did they couldn't seem to please him; so they decided to sneak off of the grounds and party a little with some booze with his brother. Shortly after doing this for a few weeks, they had gotten caught and were both kicked out of their school. After their parents had found out about this both of the siblings were now disappointments in their nationalistic  parents. They then again began running errands on the streets, delivering things to different stores trying to make a living seeing as they were now made to pay to live in the house that they were raised in; usually working double shifts so that the brothers could unwind a little with some vodka or some other type of paraphernalia before coming home late (as usual).  It was around this time when he had first heard of a place called "The Zone" one day his father had come home very late (Even later than Leshiy and his brother) from what he was told was work, sitting down at a table talking about crazy things to his wife while Leshiy overheard from them talking in the kitchen. This talk of 'The Zone' and all of the artifacts inside of it and how normal(ish) people are making a killing off of these things inside of the zone. (Mind you he walked in at the end of the story before his father was talking about the mutants and all of the dangerous anamolies) Leshiy then decided that his brother and himself were going to find a way to go there, SOME how, some way; there were determined to make it there now no matter what.

It was the night after that faithful day when his father came home talking about the riches of the zone when they began planning; trying to make sure they scrounged up what they had on them from their dead-end job and made sure not to show anyone else in the house what they were planning to do. They decided that they would drag along a long-time friend with them if he decided to go; telling him the story that him and his brother have heard. (this would also split up the amount of money they had to dump into the funds to get there) Polly quickly accepted at the thought of a new adventure and a quick and easy way to make money; but now here was the problem: Getting over to border. Grabbing everything they had including the rest of the rubbles in the house and their father's Makarov PM they set off on their journey.

3 months later

After carefully planning their way across by means of using their father's name to get past checkpoints and posing as military recruits (With the help of some of their friends from the military academy and paying off some of the others) . The two of them had to come into the zone at seperate times because it would've seemed like something was up if the two of them were together (or so they were told) Leshiy was the first one to step into the zone , first coming across a tiny village with a house labeled as the "Sanctioned Bar"  he looked around to see if anything might be suspicious about it and then he suddenly heard a strange cat noise and that lead him to letting himself right in, running into the bar in somewhat of a panic and sat there for a while and enjoyed the radio as he anxiously awaited for the arrival of his brother, nervous because he wasn't used to not having him around. After a few hours of waiting Leshiy decided he had the fortitude to go outside to see if he can learn a little bit of the land while he is there so he could teach his brother a thing or two about the zone (hopefully) when he got there; he noticed a house across from the bar and decided to walk into it, noticing two men in black trench coats but never thought twice about it, walking into room, searching for anything that might be helpful to him. And then he heard the noise of a man clearing his throat and turned around quickly in a panic to notice that the two of them had AK47-Us pointed at him screaming at him to give him all his money and whatever he had on him, he quickly obliged and then was left alone; shaken, Leshiy returned to the bar to wait for his brother .

A couple of hours later, leshiy was sitting on a bar stool looking at the bar in from of him, thinking about how he had just been mugged and didn't think that people like this were going to be in the zone. Suddenly there was a door opened behind him and his name was called; his brother had finally made it over as well, it was nearly night time. Leshiy was excited to see him but reluctant to tell him the story of getting robbed/mugged by men in trenchcoats. Half of their money was already gone and their adventure hadn't even begun. They finally made it across the border with nothing but 500 rubles left in total and one half-empty pistol to account for the both of them.

A month later..

After a month of working in the zone the two brother had become aware of the apparent mutant and bandit(and merc) problem in this particular area of the zone; the two had also obtained a contract with Freedom, frequently helping them out and scouting the zone, mapping it out for new anomalies and other things such as radiation and recording things that might look out of the ordinary (Something more unordinary than something normal in the zone). Leshiy  had finally decided that he wanted to join the Freedom faction after seeing the uptight soldiers in Duty, making him despise them deep down (Probably from their uptight mother and father) and thought that it wasn't right to section off the zone. Leshiy thought that the things that could be learnt from the zone were greater than the risks and that everyone should be able to partake in it, not destroy it. So thinking that, he took off to the Freedom base application in hand ready to see if he's cut out to be one of the 'bros' .



Skill Set: Good runner, scout/mapper, good with people and can barter quiet well too.

Recommendations from Freedomers:|HGN| Chrono

Your backstory needs a lot of improvements. I didn't exactly like it, and had quite a few generic twists. At the moment we're running out of membership slots, so I have to be picky about applicants. Metaspeak is using 'chatspeak' in character, like smiley faces and 'lol'. Your reasons for joining Freedom are quite simple. Try again later.

Name: Arkadi Gavriil
Age: 24
Family Members:
Vladimir Gavriil - Brother - Alive
Hunter Gavriil Jr. - Brother by Marriage - Alive
Olga Gavriil - Mother - Alive
Zdan Shykofski - Father - Alive
Hunter Gavriil Sr. - Father by Marriage - Alive
Backstory: Born in Chadan, in the year of 1990. His father was a coal miner, and his mother under-qualified for a lot of good work, so she decided to be a stay at home mother of sorts. For the first couple of years in his life, Arkadi was happy. But he didn't realize that his life could be better. Arkadi always lived in the slums, he was used to constant dangers of life. His brother, Vladimir Gavriil, was born when Arkadi was 5. At the age of 5, Arkadi started school. Like most kids, Arkadi hated it. He jumped on the band wagon of "the only thing school is good for is seeing friends," and overall, Arkadi was a trouble maker. He fought, mouthed of to teachers, and was insubordinate, he found himself at risk of expulsion at least three times. Arakdi wasn't the smartest person, he made straight C's, an acceptable grade, but his teachers always psuhed him. "If you worked harder you could do better. Such bullshit, or at least thats what Arkadi thought. Arkadi was also very popular in school, though he knew he was a failure. He never thought he would do anything good, but there was one thing Arkadi had his mind set on, the Military. When he was in high school, his mother caught his father cheating, and eventually she married another man, and with that man, came the mans son. They would all adopt the name Gavriil. Hunter, the new brother of Vladimir and Arkadi, always gave Arkadi a hard time, teasing him, and hurting him. Arkadi eventually struck back, seriously injuring his brother. This made his new step-father hate him.

Though he didn't realize it at the time, Arkadi was a dumbass. He was always on the losing side of arguments, and was always in the wrong. Eventually, Arkadi made it to high school. He finished high school, and got his GED. He moved from Chadan, to leave his old life, to Birsk. There, he enlisted into the military as a private, he was never deployed. At the age of 20 he left the military for something else. He wanted riches, fame. Then he learned of a place, full of "artifacts," named the Zone. His initial plan was to go to the Zone. He gathered his things, some first aid kits, and bandages, an old Makarov with 20 spare rounds, and a AK-74u. He moved towards the Zone every day. He eventually jumped the border into the Ukraine, and then encountered the Zone. He payed a couple of shady, blue suited, mercenaries to take him across the gates into the Zone, iittle did he know what horrors awaited him. In the Zone, he found that it was a horrendus place, but a wonder at the same time. He felt that it should be preserved for science, and that the military shouldn't restrict access into the Zone. Arkadi began artifact hunting to survive, and lived off bread and canned foods. He stumbled into Freedom. They shared the same ideology. Arkadi set out to join their ranks, and become a soldier, for Freedom.
