Why the hell has this forum become so friggin slow???
Also, you said that it affected people differently: does that mean there are different 'kinds' of these muties? And in general, do they look like really pale, and sorta dead? Or what?
Name: JT
Age: looks twenty
Sex: Female
Faction: Survivors... Erm... The good ones...
Speciality: Tech specialist and close quarters combat
Personality: RITRP
Appearance: She has extremely pale, with a gaunt, skinny figure, though it has no lack of muscle by any means. Her face is slightly tanner than her body, and it is square set with slightly rounded cheeks offsetting the square, small jaw. Her teeth are somewhat rotted, though they are usually hidden by her small lips that are naturally pressed tight together in a permanant scowl/grin. Her nose arches upwards, then lowers down into a rounded end with the very bottom very close to the upper lip. Her eyes are a muddy brown-green, and they usually crinkle whenever she actually lifts her mouth in a smile.
Her eyes are somewhat curved into a wide oblong shape that accenuates her square-round face. Her hair is a long curtain of dirty tangled brown hair turned black by dust and grime. It is barely kept, but the front is carefully cut, allowing bangs to hang directly over her eyes, but naturally stay away from the nose. The rest reaches about down to her waist due to her lack of managing it, and it is carefully tucked under her underclothes at all times to keep it from getting in her way. Her hands are well managed, but the only sign of grooming is the teeth marks that surround each nail, telling the tail of how she keeps them down. Her hands are generally dirty, and it greatly accenuates her pale skin, making it seem to shine through where it is not blocked by dirt.
Under all of this, she constantly wears old madical bandages as underclothes, and they greatly restrict the appearance of her more female attributes, effectively giving her a tomboyish appearance, and cuts, scorch marks, and bullets holes line her entire body, the most noticable being a long cut stretching from the nape of her neck to the upper part of her forehead, though it is carefully managed and hidden by the hair that surrounds her head.
History: She grew up normally, until the whole 'mutants destroy and take over the world in a movie-style apocalypse' thing. After that, she had about three psychotic break downs, somehow managed to destroy half a city with a terrorist bomb, and finally forced herself into a semi-steady state. Then, while she was simply walking across the plains, she saw a armored bus drive by. She raised her arm, and they let her aboard. What was stated above is the only thing she told anybody.
Weapons:

She has several of each of her knives, as well as a backup for her revolver and her desert eagle.
Extra: She owns a large tool kit, which she keeps in her backpack, as well as constantly carrying around a dead cat in her backpack, which has gone through proceedures for preservation. Also, her clothes of choice are these:

Backpack:

She keeps her shotgun and kodachi within the backpack, and her various knives are kept within the belt part. She keeps her two main pistols in a pair of holsters set on the sides of her chest, and the other two in her pants. Also, she has the odd tick to automatically punch anybody who says "seriously" within a five foot range. It's completely psychological, she swears!
