I'll be editing this post as necessary to reflect updates in the story (as a plot synopsis for late joiners...)and cast.
Cast
Name: Vincent Williams (Buscador!)
Age: 30
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 160lbs.
Race: African-American
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black, buzzed.
Physique: Lean. Long, sinewy limbs and a frame that carries very little fat.
Education: College graduate.
Profession: Teacher.
Pros: Quietly intelligent but fiercely competitive man. Athletic and street wise. Has rudimentary knowledge of firearms and is handy in a fight.
Cons: Very few technical or medical skills. Intimidating appearance leads to typically poor first impressions, and his rough childhood tends to hinder him in emotional connections. He is often rough and abrasive when he is on the defensive.
Background: Born on the streets of Chicago, his family moved to California when he was 16 due to problems at school and with the gang scene. After the move he made a complete turnaround, becoming active in basketball and finding focus in his high school career. He graduated with a 2.1gpa after barely skating by his first year, and attended UCLA on a basketball scholarship. He was nationally ranked his four years there, but in his senior year he gunned down in a drive-by shooting that, although he survived and made a full recovery, ended his basketball career before he could be drafted professionally. After he graduated from UCLA (with a 3.8gpa), he moved back to central California to be with his family. He now teaches English at the local community college and coaches basketball at the local parks and recreation.
Name: Lucy Elizabeth Martin (Overeasy)
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Height: 5'2
Weight: 130
Eyes: blue-green
Hair: brown
Physique: not thin but not thick, rather average, really.
Education: High School grad, currently enrolled in Corvelle Institute of Fine Cuisine
Profession: Currently a Dishwasher/Fry cook
Personality: The eternal optimist/humanitarian, she believes in the good of people. Sometimes leading her to defend others, often blindly. She will always try to do the right thing, even if sometimes that puts her own life or morals on the line. Often called naive based on her almost childish faith in humanity. She is a lover not a fighter, though she has a smart mouth that often gets her into more trouble than she can handle. She has a deep love of animals, and probably connects with her pets more than most people.
Pros: Makes a mean plate of spaghetti, and can hold her own in just about any conversation. She has minor medical training (can sew up a wound and perform CPR if necessary). Knows how to handle most guns, and has her trusty Melvin (Winchester 1887 rifle, a gift from her father for her 13th birthday) under her bed at all times.
Cons: naive, trusting, and always trying to do what's “right” no matter what the consequences. Not particularly hefty and can't do much by the way of physical labor.
Background: Raised on a ranch with her father and older brother, and was home schooled until the age of 18, leaving her a bit sheltered from the real world. Lucy is comfortable with using most styles of gun, however she is most comfortable with a Winchester Rifle. She left her childhood home at the age of 18 to pursue her dream of becoming a chef, and works two minimum wage jobs (a fry cook and a dish washer) in order to pay for her education. Lucy was raised to work hard for what she earns, and has no issues rolling up her sleeves and doing what must be done.
Name: Dana Morris (Lauren2010)
Age: 20
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 110
Race: american
Eyes: Blue-green
Hair: dark brown, cut choppily at her shoulders
Physique: Thin, but a healthy weight (though could probably stand to gain a few pounds)
Education: High school graduate, currently enrolled in a community college studying sign language (wants to be an interpreter)
Profession: Part-time librarian
Pros: Well read, has a basic knowledge of a diverse spread of topics and is quick to learn something new. She has excellent communication skills, and is very personable. She connects well with most people and is a natural leader.
Cons: Likes to be a part of the background. Though she is a natural and effective leader, she prefers to let others take the lead. She is passive and flexible, and will often allow someone to lead her down the wrong path unknowingly. She hardly feels the need to share her opinions or emotions with others.
Background: Dana grew up as one of seven. She was the fifth born, so was easily put aside for the needs of others. She adapted easily to her overlooked role in the family. Her youngest sibling was born deaf, and once he started learning sign language in order to communicate Dana was the only family member who really took a passion for the language. She learned more than the basic phrases most of her family did when her brother was young and learned more advanced skills at a quick pace.

Background: Hannah lived in California all of her life. She grew up in an average, middle class family, the daughter of a Receptionist and a Medical Surgeon. Throughout school, she loved history and had dreams of becoming a historian and writing books about history. Her father wanted her to follow in his footsteps and study medicine in college, so he taught her various things about it, and although she elected to study history, she retain strong skill in medicine and healing.

Physique: Tall, skinny, no curves.
Education: 6th grade completed
Profession: Student
Pros: She is really good at making fires, because she has been a girl scout ever since she was 5. She can also run extremely fast, because she has played soccer for as long as she could remember. She can also climb quickly.
Cons: Kisa is quiet. She has always been extremely reserved, and doesn't talk much... at all. Her age, is also a con, and the fact that she has no way of defending herself.
Background: Kisa was raised - actually she hasn't fully been raised yet - with a perfect mother and father, and two sets of grandparents, who loved her very much. She was spoiled, and now that she's in the world on her own, all she can do is cry.
