Player Name: Nyo
Character: New Zealand
Name: Zoe Scully
Age: 24
Affiliation: AFN
Occupation and/or Rank:Division of Exploration and Discovery-Scientist
Birthplace: Aotearoa, a New Zealandic Colony
Appearance:
Personality: Zoe is a cynical, borderline anti-social person. She prefers the company of animals to that of other people. Very work oriented, she is somewhat obsessive about projects she's working on. Very energetic, she is always doing something, and has a tendency to move and talk at high speeds, much to the annoyance of those around her.
She keeps her workplaces rather cluttered ,but will get upset if anything is moved, as she has an organization system that only she understands. She dislikes working with or around others, as she considers them little help, and can be quite mean and bossy when forced to work in groups. Outside of her lab though, Zoe is somewhat awkward. There are few people she likes enough to socialize with and she is rather nervous around those she doesn't know well.
AU History: The child of two bio-chemist, Zoe was born on a planet that her parents native country New Zealand was attempting to colonize. The nation was attempting to establish a farming colony by breeding sheep with a similar local creature. Unfortunately this worked all too well. Before long, not only the settlement, but the entire planet was overrun with the hybrids. The sheep were menaces. Sturdy and well adapted to the environment, they ate other cattle and crops, attacked any humans that dared get near and made general nuisances of themselves.
People quickly started moving away, and the family was set to the task of decreasing the population of the creatures they'd helped create. Most of Zoe's childhood was spent assisting in catching, sterilizing and relocating the hybrid sheep in an attempt to slow down their reproduction rate. By the time she was ten almost all of the other settlers had left, and it had been decided that the only way to get rid of the sheep was to kill them.
Groups of the sheep's few natural predators were gathered up. These dangerous animals became like pet to the family as they were experimented on. New, more durable and disease resistant versions of these predators were released into the wild. The number of hybrid sheep dropped dramatically and everyone was sure that the problem had been solved. The colony was re-opened and the trio suddenly found themselves surrounded by more people than they'd seen in years, something that Zoe found made her extremly uncomfortable..
The now sixteen year old became reclusive, spending her time in her parents lab or out in the field studying the various plant and animal species in the area. And then, a new strain of the sheep population began appearing. The evolved sheep had developed camouflage, able to change color at will, they were also much, much more viscous. The sheep's hunters were no longer able to keep them from spreading. A virus was developed to get rid of them. Hundreds of the sheep were gathered, and all but one succumbed to the illness.
The odd sheep became Zoe's personal project. Test after teat were run on it, but she could never quite discover what made the sheep different. The one sheep was declared a fluke and the virus was released, successfully killing 4/5 of the sheep population. The animals still outnumbered the humans, but were now manageable. By this time she'd become quite fond of the sheep, named it Mackenzie (Mack for short), and it became her constant companion.
When she was 19 she met a friend of her parents. A fellow chemist, this family friend worked for the AFN. Rather impressed with the woman, it didn't take her long to recruit Zoe.
Equipment: Her sheep Mack, a small computer and several syringes of tranquilizer.
Any other info:X-Files reference, what X-files reference? Do I have to mention noodles in this profile too?
If this sounds as ridiculous to everyone else as it does to me I'll be happy to re-write it, just say the word.
