Name: Dexter

Age: 34

Faction: Faction-less. Ex-Cimarron. Currently on the run from Cimarron enforcement.

Remembrance item: Plain silver wedding ring. Reading glasses, which belonged to Dexter's deceased wife.

Weapons of choice: Given stock pistols are silenced dual Beretta M9A3. Replica Honjo Masamune katana. Tactical watch. Canteen. Life straw.

Survival abilities: Ex military. Used GI bill to go to back to college and major in agriculture. As a result Dexter is highly skilled with instruction in basic animal, plant, and soil science; animal husbandry and plant cultivation; soil conservation; and agricultural operations such as farming, ranching, and agricultural business.

At a bleak time, Dexter's role in the Cimarron faction was an important one. He was tasked with setting up various farms throughout the west coast. After these farms were constructed, Dexter trained people to act as farmers and ranchers who would then run and operate these farms under the factions direction. These farms supplied a constant food source for the entire faction as a whole.

Since Cimarron was a battle oriented faction finding people like Dexter, who knew things like training others in farming, ranching and agricultural studies was not an easy task. After Dexter inexplicably left the faction set out to bring him back by any means.

::With a casual swipe of his right hand, Dexter brushed away a few sweat soaked strands of hair away from his brow and out of his eyes. It had been quite some time since Dexter sported his military style crew cut. So long he couldn't remember if it was out of sheer coincidence or the fact that he couldnt cut his own damn hair without it looking like he got into a fight with a lawn mower.

He had been to this place before. The Bellagio. The white and gold clad building seemed almost decrepit without its normal immaculate upkeep. A building once famous for its illustrious fountains was now like every other hotel and casinos: abandoned, run down and dirty. And the stench was awful. But what else would a bunch of rotting corpses smell like?

Dexter was all-around just the quiet type. He mostly keep to himself but having some company with Jeremy was well welcomed. Dexter finished scouting the area while Jeremy set up his traps. "The area seems pretty clear. Not many biters around here it seems. Probably not much left for them." Dexter paused momentarily before he continued. "Still, no reason to let our guard down."

It was about this time that they were finishing up. Jeremy expressed his desire for a classic vice, nicotine. "Nothing since San Diego huh? I'm sure we can fix that."

Dexter remembered from previous trips to the Strip that some of these casinos had cigarette vending machines. Small machines about 1/3 the size of your standard vending machine. "I'll go check around for something, I won't be far."

Dexter set out towards the closest bar in the place, hoping that his efforts would prove beneficial. As Dexter approached the bar he could see the vending machine near where the restrooms were. "Ah, there we go" Dexter muttered to himself in a near inaudible tone.

But as he approached the machine, he could hear the distinct noise of something crashing in the distance. Dexter was now on high alert, pulling out one of his Beretta M9A3 from its holster. Dexter pointed the weapon in front of him as he cautiously moved toward the noise.::

 

"Naomi..... stay low, there are a group of biters over there behind that building"
an older man whispers as he signals for her to move quietly over to the gas pump. She was carrying a green army gas can and quietly set it next tot he pump.
A rather large group of biters had recently began to make their way through their small hometown of Thermopolis, Wyoming. Its believed that the hoards are coming from the larger neighboring cities and possibly states like Nevada. There have been a few spotting's of "tourist" biters wearing Vegas attire making their way through the town. Naomi and her father were preparing to make their way to Utah, the opposite direction in which some of the passing hoards seem to be heading.

In Utah, Naomis father owned private hunting land which he had a hunting cabin built in the middle of the woods a few years back. It was a very secluded area and one of the safest places to be at during a time like this. Not only did he have the cabin, he also had several tree stands built on the property, which was used during hunting season. See Naomi's father was a retired military, during his retirement, he took up hunting as a hobby and would often travel to different states to hunt different game. Naomi showed an interest in hunting when she was about 12, so her father taught how to track and hunt. From the age of 12 to present, Naomi would often travel with him to hunt. Utah was one of his favorites places to hunt, so when Naomi started taking interest, he decided to buy some land in Utah and have a cabin built so that he and Naomi had a place to got to and hunt at throughout the year.

He watched over his daughter as she began pumping the gas into the can. They were pretty successful in tracking down fuel for their travel. Naomi worked quietly while her father kept guard, making sure nothing was heading their way. He held his rifle at the ready in case anything decided to come.

Living in a small town played a part in allowing them to fuel up and prepare, as not many traveled through their town. When all this began, several abandoned their homes and headed towards places that they heard were "safe" points. But Naomi's father knew better, he knew heading with the crowd would only increase the risk of infection. So instead, they chose to stay in their now desolate home town, for the time being and prepare, all while waiting out the worse. All this time they began stocking up on food and supplies, as well as fuel for their trip. They boarded up their home and her father set up traps around the house to keep the biters at bay and from entering the home. They would go out during the day to random stores, homes, etc and gather supplies throughout. At night, they would spend several hours fixing up her dads jeep, preparing it for safe travel. Being a military man and having the knowledge he had, he vamped up his jeep to make it almost indestructible. They would be able to mow down hoards of biters if need be.

Naomi had finished filling the tank and motioned for her father to come over and assist. The tanks were still a tad heavy for Naomi to carry. He was able to carry it easily and much faster than her. Since there was a hoard just around the corner, they didn't want to take any risks. He placed tightened the cap and the both began making their way back to their home. They planned to leave in the next 2-3 days, once they made sure they had everything they need. They were packed for the most part, but just needed to get the last bit of fuel they would need for the trip. Her father wanted to make sure they had more than what they needed, in case they needed to reroute from their planned path to Utah.

They made it safely back to their home without running into any biters. Which seemed a little weird cause they usually always ran into one or two of them on the way back. Naomi didn't think much of it and figured it was just luck. As her father headed towards the garage to put the tank on the back of the jeep with the other 4 tanks, Naomi took care of the locks on the door. Her father had installed heavy duty pad locks. She turned and leaned her back against the door, her eyes went directly to the blood stain on the floor.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, I'll see you guys tomorrow"
Naomi waved to her friends as she got off the bus to head home from school. She popped in her headphones and played Pandora as she began walking up the long driveway. Their home was part of a small community, where the houses were rather distant from each other. The closest neighbor was a good 2-3 minute walk away. So she had a bit of a walk before reaching her house.

As she came around the bend, Naomi spotted a red Buick parked in front of their garage, their neighbor Sylvia was over again. Probably talking her mothers ear off about the new guy who moved in next to her and how "hot" he was, but she was to shy to talk to ask him out and would also complain about all the other women "oogling" over him. She sighed knowing that as soon as she entered, she too would have to hear it all. She never understood why the women in her neighborhood got all stir crazy over this guy, he didn't seem that attractive, at least not to her. Naomi shook the thought out of her head, suddenly an announcement came over her headphones.

This isn't the first time this has happened. Lately there had been a few reports on the news and radio of people getting sick about some rare virus and reports of bio matter being leaked out, (or something to that extent) that people are eating each other, acting like zombies, if you get bitten, you can turn. It sounded like something off a movie, so it was hard to determine if this is true or not. The president said there was nothing to worry about and that its all fake and our government cant seem to get their heads out of their asses to determine what is what. So at this point in time, a lot of people are unsure of what was going on and continued life as normal. Thinking these reports were just for attention the media was trying to gain. Naomi heard enough and pulled her ear buds out and placed them in her pocket just as she approached the garage

As Naomi passed the garage door, she could hear her father preparing for another hunting trip, he had his radio playing some 80's music. Unfortunately due to school, Naomi wouldn't be able to go with him this time around. Knowing this made her frown, she enjoyed going out with her dad and if she had a choice, she would skip school just to go with him. As Naomi approached the house, she could hear mumbling inside, he mothers voice was slightly raised and it sounded like something was wrong. Naomi inserted her house key to unlock the door and as she began to push the door open, she heard her mother say
"Sylvia are you ok, what are you doing?"
Naomi quickly pushed the door open to see what was going on, she saw her mother with her hands up in front of her, backing away from Sylvia. Naomi's mother looked over at her daughter as the door swung open, and at that very moment, Sylvia lunged at her mother and tore a chunk of flesh from her chest.

Naomi's mother screamed from the pain. Naomi screamed as she rushed over
"MOTHER!"
Sylvia had taken another chunk from her mothers neck right before Naomi could reach her. Naomi shoved Slyvia off her mother and pressed her hand on the areas that Sylvia tore in an attempt to stop the bleeding. Slyvia, began making her way towards Naomi, just before she was able to lunge at Naomi a loud shot was heard. A second later Slyvias body plopped next to Naomi and her mother. Naomi began sobbing.
"Mother please hold on...."
She looked over at her father who was standing inside the garage entrance holding a gun in his hand, he was panting from running into the house.
"Dad...its mom.....shes.... shes"
Before Naomi could get it out, her father walked over and placed his hand on his daughters shoulder and pulled her up on her feet.

His voice cracked as he spoke these words
"Naomi... she's gone..."
he turned Naomi into his chest as he took the gun and fired a bullet into his wife
"I'm sorry..."

Naomi flinched when she heard the gun go off......
He glanced over at Sylvia's body, tears in his eyes. He blamed himself for not noticing that Sylvia looked off when she first arrived. But his wife assured him it was just a stomach bug.

that was the start of it all.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Naomi are you ok?"
Her father asked as he stepped into the room and noticed her sitting against the door
Naomi blinked up at her father and nodded while holding her locket
"I was just thinking about that day and of....mom"
Her father glanced down at what his daughter was looking at and nodded in understanding.
"I think about her a lot, I miss her"
Naomi brushed a stray tear from her eyes
"me to"
She pushed herself off the door and walked over to her father who put his arm around her.
"Lets get something to eat. We have a long day tomorrow with final preparations, then its off to Utah. Your favorite place"
He gave her a squeeze on the shoulder and they both smiled at each other.
"I cant wait dad"

 

"I found raviolis!"
Naomi said as she walked in the room with 2 bowls, placing one in front of her father, then taking the seat next to him to eat herself.
"So how much longer do you think we have until we can start making our trip to Utah?"
Her father finished his bite of food before responding
"If all goes according to plan tomorrow, we should be able to head out the next day. Almost all our preparations are complete. I just want to do a double check on supplies and gather a few more things before we head out."
he paused a moment to eat another bite before continuing
"We should probably turn in early so we can get an early start."
Naomi nodded in agreement, feeling a bit tired from the day they already had.

They finished their food, hung out and chatted a bit before turning in to sleep. The next morning they both grabbed a quick bite before heading out to gather supplies. Naomi made sure to grab her satchel and bookbag on the way out the door, so she had a place to put anything they could find and be able to keep her hands free in case she needed to draw out a weapon to fight. They headed to the local grocery store.

!roll d20

 

Thankfully they were able to get to the store without running into any biters on the way. Which seemed a little odd to Naomi, but again she was probably over thinking things as always. They stood outside the broken door peering in to see if there were any zombies inside.

!roll d10 (Result below was 9)

There looked to only be about 9 biters inside which meant they needed to be extra cautious and quiet to not attract attention to themselves. There could be a possibility there may be more that they hadn't noticed. Naomi's father turned to face her.

"I'll draw them out, then you go in and get these last few items we need. "
He handed her a small piece of paper with a small list of items she needed to grab. After he handed it to her, he got up from his crouch and quickly but quietly headed out into the far end of the parking lot and disappeared behind a vehicle. He knew after watching how these biters reacted, that they would head towards any noise they heard, which would give Naomi the safe opening she would need to gather the few supplies. He quietly pulled the car door open and crawled inside. He positioned himself just under the dash and pulled out a few wires. Finding the wires he needed, he kept them in his hand and sat slightly up, enough for him to make a bolt once he touched the wires together. Once he was ready, he tapped the wires together and gave them a twist, which caused the vehicle to let out a loud screech, before the car alarm began going off. He quickly crawled out of the vehicle and looked over the hood to see his daughter still crouching behind the wall, in between the trash cans. When he saw the first biter appear in the door way, he knew it was time to take cover. He gave Naomi a nod then ran for the opposite direction. He planned to make his way quietly through the lot, his plan was to circle around and back to Naomi.

Naomi waited as the biters exited the building heading towards the car alarm. Once she noticed no other biters were exiting, she knew the coast was clear and headed in with knife in hand, just in case. She began collecting the supplies she needed, making sure to not make any noise in the process. She was about half way through the list when she noticed the alarm had died down. 'battery must have died' she thought to herself. As she grabbed a can and put it in her bag. She began to head towards another aisle when she heard a sound just at the entrance.
"crap"
she whispered to herself as she realized the alarm didn't distract them long enough for her to get everything on the list. She got down on her hands and knees to crawl over to where she heard the noise. She peered around the shelving unit and spotted the biter that made the noise. Thankfully it was facing away and not far from her which gave her the benefit of sneaking up and attacking the before being noticed. She quietly snuck up to the biter and with her blade, jammed it into the biters skull.

One thing her father taught her since all this happened was to not fear killing these things. It was either kill or be killed, there was no other options when it came to the biters. As she began to pull the blade out of its skull, the body fell, but Naomi didn't noticed the small metal shelf that was just in front of them. So as the body fell, the shelf fell with it causing a loud banging noise. Naomi knew that she needed to give up gathering supplies and get the hell out of there.

Naomi's father has just reached the front door, when he noticed his daughter taking down a biter. But as the body fell and caused a loud crash. He looked behind him to see the now hoard of biters heading their way.
"Naomi......head towards the back exit....NOW!"
He shouted as he began rushing down a different aisle that Naomi took. He grabbed his rifle and began shooting at the biters that neared them to keep them distant. They rushed to the back, Naomi being the closest was able to make it to the back before her father. Her father took a moment to knock over some of the shelves in order to slow the biters down a bit. Once they reached the back room, her father pushed a few pieces of debris in the door way of the back room. It would be enough to stall them for a moment but not for long. When he turned around, he noticed his daughter struggling to get through the door. The ceiling had collapsed over top the open door leaving only but a small hole to get out of, they would have to move quite a bit to even getting through. Naomi was already working on clearing the debris from the door. He rushed over to Naomi and they began working on clearing, to make more room for them to get through. The hole was now big enough for Naomi to get through easily, but not so much her father. He looked back to see that the biters were beginning to make their way through the barricade
"Naomi... crawl through he hole and begin pulling the from the outside. She nodded and did as she was told.

Since she had a smaller body fit, she was able to crawl through the hole with ease. She began pulling things through the hole which seemed to cause more debris to fall in the places she removed.
"Dad its not working!"
she said in a panic
"Just keep trying Naomi.... I'll do what i can to keep them at bay"
He turned and began shooting at any biters that broke through the barricade.
Naomi continued to pull on the debris making the hole slightly bigger each time. The biters had broken through the barricade and began rushing her dad. Her dad shot off a few more shots
"Dad hurry"
just as she said that her father turned and began crawling through the hole, but the hole wasn't quite big enough leaving him stuck. Three of the biters grabbed hold of her father and pulled him back through the hole, one of the biters managed to tear a chunk of skin from her fathers leg. Naomi being quick, grabbed her fathers arms and began pulling not wanting to let her father go.
"No daddy"
she began sobbing as she fought to pull her father through the hole. But it was too late, the biters on the other side, were tearing him apart. Her father doing all he could to fight back the pain spoke and as he did, blood poured out of his mouth.
"Naomi... dont give up...continue your way to Utah like we planned......*Cough*.... *cough*"
with each cough, blood splattered. Still being able to move his arms, and with what little strength he had, he pushed the rifle to her.
"Take.... it....I....love you..... Naomi.....you've....made me... proud"
"No don't leave me"... I cant lose you.... you're all I have left..... please....don't"
she continued pulling, digging her nails into his arms as she fought as hard as she could to pull him through, tears pouring out of her eyes. She wasn't going to give up even though it was already to late.
The biters on the other side was now trying to break their way through the debris, but Naomi wouldnt let go. Her voice was a near whisper now
"Please.....daddy...don't leave me....I'm sorry....."
