Since the RP has been cluttered with OOC stuff, I decided to make an OOC thread. For any of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I am talking about The Last of Us Advanced RP that was started sometime in February. All applications or OOC comments belong here.
Rules
1. Be nice to each other, or you might find a Clicker in your room tonight.
2. OOC stuff ONLY; all RPing belongs in the official thread.
3. Since we are an advanced writing community, I really don't wnt 2 c txt talk or stufz likez theis.
4. Any applications with histories longer than ten sentences or less than five sentences will be denied until modifications are made. I understand that you all love writing and want to establish your characters as quickly as possible, but as skilled writers, you should be able to establish a firm history in-RP.
Feel free to discuss whatever you want here, as long as it's appropriate.

Character Name: Hazel Green
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Place of Origin: Outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona
Brief History: She was born into a decent sized community of survivors living outside of Phoenix, Arizona. They lived a generally prosperous life, with her mom working as a police-equivalent, and her dad working on maintenance. Looking to take up after her father, she began learning all she could about electrical engineering, and worked with him at all possible hours. Because of this, she had a fairly "normal" life by our standards. The town had both electricity, and running water, albeit the running water was only available in a small geographic area. They even had a radio station.
In the end, the radio station killed them.
Looking to get a foot up on the military, the Fireflies found out about the town's location by listening in on the radio. So the Fireflies came in and declared it their own. To say that the town hated it would be putting it mildly. Food shortages were caused by the influx of revolutionaries. Citizens were being forced to house soldiers. Rape and pillaging was reported on a daily basis. They took up a majority of town's water supply.
Protests were breaking out in the streets. The town engineers, Hazel's father included, staged a peaceful protest, and stopped maintaining the town's water and electrical supply until the Fireflies stopped occupying the town. They were executed in the street, Hazel's dad included.
The town broke into chaos, with everybody figuring that they had nothing to lose at that point. Hazel's mom was killed at that point.
Hazel was only 17.
She stole the family truck, and took off north, not in any particular direction. Just as far away from anyone as she could possibly get: Into the heartland. She didn't want to live in an urban area, what had happened in her town taught her that. People would just end up stumbling onto an urban house. But if she lived in the middle of nowhere, she figured she wouldn't be able to get food. However, over the last thirty years, wildlife had flourished. If she could just get out there, she would be able to live off nature.
Personality: I'd like to make this up as the story progresses
Flaws: Overly distrusting of people at first. Also underestimates how difficult a task will be.
Fears: Scorpions, man. Those things are scary.
Backpack (max. 6 items, cannot be overpowered): Hunting rifle, four bullets, hunting knife, duct tape, canteen, heavy wire
Have you played The Last of Us or its DLC, Left Behind, before: Seen let's play for main game, not for DLC
Other: Nothing
Also, I'm going to start RPing immediately. I'm 99% sure I've done everything the way you want it, plus I think you know me enough to trust me with RPing. However, if you feel that I'm missing something/not following the rules, I'll be happy to go back and fix it/delete any posts I've made.

Accepted. I don't mind that you started right away, since you are a pretty dedicated roleplayer as is.
Oh my! Haha I absolutely love water polo! I started last year during my junior year and it was really easy to get into. Its my favorite competitive sport. I like playing sports but only with friends. Water Polo was the one team/school sport I actually enjoyed. I played it this year too(my senior year) and we won section finals. Our water polo team is like the only good sports team at our school.
Again, not being much of a team/school sport person, I absolutley loved water polo. Its really fun to watch too when you know how to play. It is a bit confusing at first. I love playing center position .
@Spartan Yeah man your character can be a member of the Union group! I know the group isn't very solidified yet but I hope to make it more noticeable later on in the RP. Haha Joey is going to become more of a major character later on, he is sort of a protege to Elliot. I thought the code phrase was kinda cool for The Union. The phrase may be a bit cheesy but I couldnt really think of anything clever lol.
@Spartan Also is your character going to already be a part of The Union? Since your character needs to start in Boston we could say that Duncan sent him there as the messenger to the Boston group to tell them about the safe haven in Colorado and then you track us down and meet back up with us. Also if you decide to follow that route make sure your character doesn't find out about how Sully and the others got executed, you just delivered the message and left so you didnt witness anything.. Of course this is just an idea you don't have to follow it if you don't want to. :P.
Also @Coco I have been forum Rping for a few years but its only been Elder Scrolls. I was a little nervous coming on to this RP but I have to tell you man, this has been my favorite forum RP that I have had the pleasure of being a part of. . I appreciate the fact that you have set rules in place but that you're not too strict. Nice job so far! *Thumbs up*
I am going to take the Union thing slowly (They may take longer than expected to reach Jackson city) as to let @Spartan make a character and allow his character to catch up to Duncan's group.)
@Ike hey man, thanks for being so great and patient to RP with. Haha sorry about you doing most of the work. I know your posts are a lot longer and more detailed, ill try and do better with Sam.

Thanks a lot, it really means a lot to hear you say that. It'll be interesting to see what happens when someone new joins. We could possibly use their character to make a plot twist. (idea?)

So she went to rural Colorado.
