Some Information

-Gas Masks are more intricate and light weight, the decorations and colors tell which family or families the person is part of/comes from.
-The air is toxic so everyone must wear gas masks and clothing that covers all if their skin.
-Underground is safe-ish so you don't have to have all of your gear on.
-In city areas the ground is hard packed trash.
-Areas around the city are barren wastelands, save for an occasional bush.
-All animals are carnivorous but rare, the only common one is a large rat creature that resembles a Skeever from Skyrim.
-The only plants that grow are tough desert types.
-The atmosphere is mostly smog so the sky is constantly a bit more than a dim orange light.

Ranks

Leaders
There are two leaders so that they can keep each other in line and because a bunch of cutthroats, thieves and liars wouldn't trust just one. The leaders are generally better with people and are well organized, able to keep track of what everyone needs and such. If there's ever a decision about which way to go or when to set up camp, it's the leaders who make it. They also act as peace keepers most of the time.

Medic
The medic is simply the person with the most knowledge about healing and generally watches over all medical supplies. Their word is more respected than the leaders, but only when it comes to someone's health.

Survivalists
Survivalists are the best at surviving, they find food, water and shelter for the rest. Though each one tends to have a specialty, but most of them can't hold their own in a fight and on their own wouldn't really bother with fighting or stealing.

Guardians
Guardians are the watchers and protectors of the group and can easily take down a grown man. There are always two with the group and one with the scouts so that they can keep an eye out for danger. On their own they would be the murderers and robbers, using force to get what they want.

Scouts
The weakest and stealthiest of the group, scouts go up ahead to look for better routes, possible dangers and other such things. They have to be very aware as they aren't normally the strongest. On their own scouts would be burglars and pickpockets, able to get past even the most watchful eye and be gone without a trace.

Name::Ashlynne Midford
Nick name[s]::Ash, Ashy, Linn/Lynne
Age::19
Gender::female
Sexuality::Heterosexual
Why they came:: Ash was a orphan from the moment she had a concious mind. She was lucky to have been sneaking in some medical/scientific lab when the outbreak started nad she managed to get some equipment to actually walk outside, however, she was aware that if she wanted to survive, she'd need to group with others.
Rank:: leader prefferably, but you can choose
Personality:Ashlynne plays quite a air head if her mind isn't properly stimulated ( blood loss/blood shed, adrenaline rush, ect) often forgetting that she has a can of soda in her hands before waving to someone or forgetting she has what she needs in her hands all together. She can often force herself into developing a second identity/personality to adapt to where ever the hell she ends up in, she plays it strongly at first but around the end of the year, she would revert or completely forget about it's exsistence. She is quite childish as well, often saying ' play date' instead of 'hangout' in her high school years mostly since she thinks hangout often refers to a couple, and since her logic is pretty messed up, she is afraid of children.

Having to have grown up as a slight feral child, she would often converse with animals like she understood what they were saying despite the fact she doesn't. She has poor social skills from lack of education (she got sent to an orphanage after she got caught breaking into a store to get food and was adopted at the age of 15) and often relies on her instinct for things rather than the words of others. However, she has shown to be quite chatty despite her limited vocabulary when you do get her to talk, often falling out of topic as time passes.
Appearance::Ashlynne has plain black brown hair and soft chocolate eyes with freckles sprinkled over her face, her lips are pale and thin. Most would describe her as homely seeing that she wasn't really attractive in terms of physical appearance. She is quite short as well, only at about 5"6 in hieght. She lacks any cleavage(some, but not a lot) and she doesn't have any noticeable hips, making her figure quite masculine. Her skin is sickly pale due to the fact that she has terrible circulation and often stays inside where the temperature was adjusted to her liking for the 3 years before the break out.
Her legs are slightly thick, with muscles lining the calf, because of all the running she did as a child to avoid the police and the shop keepers, her fingers are stick like and bony. Her small size allows her to hide in most places and she is quite flexible as well. She has high endurance to pain once she is on the run whether from panic or fear.
Mask::Uh... I didn't understand much of this part but I'm just guessing it's to describe it.
Ash's mask changes from time to time since she discards them once she finds a better one. It's of the common green mask, but is painted red with 3 red stripes coming from the top left corner to the left lense of the mask. The rims were grey, but she painted black over it. Its more so a helmet in some ways, having some material to make a hoody like shape connected to it, the hoody then makes a little robe like shape down to her shoulders in which then she would put on the full body jacket, gloves, ect. The nozzle is untouched with her basic art skills, fearing that it may somehow affect how it works when she found it.

Her clothes never stay the same if she can help it, mostly due to the fact that the sweat makes the fabric stick to her skin, making it uncomfortable to move in. But in general, she enjoys wearing jean shorts and short sleeved clothes.

For the cold days, she'd wear a red sweater with black and white snowflake patterns dotted all over and a pair of black yoga pants, since those two were the only long sleeved/legged clothes she has before the break out came and pretty much prevented her from getting new clothes-since the toxic may have embedded themselves within the folds of the fabric- to wear.

History::
Her parents had been shot during a protest when she was 1 (when she learned to walk) so she didn't have memories of them. At the age of 3 she was taken in by a feral dog pack because where she had been in had many bodies of people lying about as food for them, so she was looked to as a source of food and she had managed to survive most if the years because of them. By the age of 6, most of the dogs were caught and shot due to over crowding in the local shelter. She took in the hobby of robbing stores by playing it passive, but after more children end up surviving being dumped/abandoned, her competitions began to rise and shop keepers become more aware of lone children entering their stores, she entered aggressivly and left quickly before the police can come. She often end up in hospitals for injuries and often says its because she was out playing with her friends playing games and a dog would come and bite her arm and fled after wards. Because of that excuse, she was given some shots that aided her survival. Around 14, she caught a severe cold while raiding a grocery store and was taken into an orphanage. When she turned 15 and they managed to teach her the basics of human etiquette, she was allowed to be around other people and had been thriving in society since. After a brief history of her was shared around age 19, she was sent to a research center to help them with the case of feral children, they compared her brain to that of a normal child's. However, when the out break came, she was shoved into a bunker with all the other 'specimens' with unperishable canned food. But when the time came, the children in there became cannibalistic from the lacking of intake resources and ended up killing each other (again, they're all once feral) and ate each other. She came out on top in the end being the only one that had been released into human society for only 2-3 years while the others had been contained for 6-9 yeaers of their lives, losing some of the wildness that kept them alive.

Strengths::
Agile: Ashlynne is quick and nimble on her toes, being able to duck under machines and whatnot while running. She can jump pretty high as well, not inhuman hieght, but can jump around 1 meter in the air (with her knees tucked to her chest)
Strong: Due to the fact that she had to find places where the police and other parties that were after her wouldn't think a child would/can hide, she developed enough power to be able to lift things that are around 150 lbs and no more to open heavy gates/chutes to hide in.
Quick thinker: while a failure in areas that require memorizing of numbers and boring tasks, she is quite proficient in making choices. She is quick in calculating the best course of action when her brain realizes that her choice may result in her or someone's death.
Memorizes important details: Although she may not look like it, she can memorize maps and the areas of where she has been or seen by closing her eyes and redraw the area mentally the best of her abilities. However, the chances of the things being remembered is quite random, unless it triggers something emotional in her than it would be remembered for the next few years or so whether she likes it or not.
Weaknesses::
Terrible team player: while physically correct for combat, she is terrible at sharing/discusding plans, ect due to her social barrier. Often reclusive and finds it hard to express with words since the images would play out in her mind easily yet detailed, so she finds it awkward or confusing to share things.
Uneducated: because she was only adopted at 15, she only had a few years of high school left, and she had been sent to special learning facilities to learn the basics of economy and other simple knowledge. But because of the fact that she was deprived of education since she could walk, there were some words she couldn't learn in a day and often had outbursts of anger or tears when stressed.
Air headed: She is the type to think of sweets and other delicious things when moments aren't vital, often seaming words that are non-exsistent together to make the other get the idea from time to time. She also has a slow memory, often forgetting if she opened something and left it there and swearing she closed it before she left. She also can't tell reality from her dreams if it was drawn using her memories (memories of places she's seem/been to or what she thinks is inside a place she's never been to).
Bad social skills: because where she was born, it was rather a cruel place where the other stray children would steal when rhey can, she often finds it hard to share and dislikes people that reprimanded her for not doing so. She finds it hard to start a conversation without making the other persin confused. She is also quite limited with her vocabulary as well, using words she picked up from other's conversation without knowing what it means.
