Name: Aisling O'Keenan

Gender: Female

Age: 32

Personality:
Aisling is... a bit unstable. Though she is very intelligent and knowledgeable, even in the now of what if going on... she is a bit obsessed with finding trying to find a cure or even some pattern to this strange strain of the 'flu' that has been produced. Though, being one of the original producers of this deadly vaccine she feels highly responsible for its latest complications. Yet, she will aimlessly throw her way into extreme danger while trying to observe the undead.

History:
Originally born in Ireland, she had a happy life, sporting her pride of the Emerald Isle in her daily life and cherishing her heritage frequently as she saw people in America who defaced the Irish-American name so wretchedly. Her parents held old-fashioned beliefs (even tough her mother was American) and held her to a strict life style. They began teaching her how to fire a bow at age 10. In middle school she also took up cross-country running as a sport since her school failed to have an archery squad, but she rather enjoyed the running outdoors. Her parents passed away upon her 17th birthday. At this point she was to either be emancipated or sent to life with her aunt and uncle in America. After weighing the options she chose America, so that it would become easier for her to get a good medical career. She moved to New Hampshire after finishing her last year of high school. They helped her get into Dartmouth -- the school her own mother had gone too, but she herself rather liked merely being at the school who were known as 'The Big Green'.
After finishing all her schooling at Dartmouth, she was hired on as an intern at a local hospital, receiving further medical training for an additional year before being promoted to a resident. She worked at Sacred Heart hospital for two years before transferring into the field of medical engineering at age 29. She continued along this path and eventually became rather successful at engineering new vaccines. Finally the new strain of the flu began. People were dieing so her as well as a fairly decent sized crew designed the new vaccine. They didn't think anything would go wrong this time, but Aisling herself had an awful feeling about it. She kept on telling herself that everything would be alright with it. They injected into a test group, they seemed to react to it well. Yet, she wanted them to wait a little longer, they needed to follow safety protocols. The rest ignored her, pushing the new strain of vaccination through to as many places as possible. She continued to survey the test group and soon enough realized that their symptoms began to return before they seemed to die, but within an hour, what appeared to be dead men arose violently and began to try and harm the staff still supervising them. She began to study their behavior, but soon a staff member was bitten. The whole research center spiraled down into chaos. She barely managed to escape their alive after managing to copy down all her research to her computer. At this time she began to head towards D.C. from her current residence in the southern parts of Montana.

Looks/Description:
She has dark red hair that falls down in very loose curls around her face, her bangs are cut at an angle. The left side is about an inch longer than the right (which is just above her eyebrow) because of this. Her skin is fairly light, but you can tell she gets sun by her light freckles that dust her cheeks and nose. Her eyes are a deep shade of gray though they seem crystalline as there are bright highlights withing them. Aisling has naturally long lashes that cast a light shadow underneath them, but really draw attention to her almond shaped eyes. She wears a square pair of box-like framed glasses that rest usually half-way down her nose, sitting so her eyes look over them normally (they are far-sighted glasses as she has trouble with closer objects). She has a jaw that is slender and rounds off, her lips are a little big and often make her appear to be pouting. Her nose is sharp, having no dip or bump upon the slope of her small nose that has a slight upturn.

Aisling is slender -- but not small, she has a full body and her small accumulation of muscle is hidden under a thin layer of fat. Her legs are long and display a slight increase in muscle. They are revealed more than her arms as she is wearing a knee-length black skirt that has many tears along the hem. Her blouse is a dark forest green. Its a button up, collared shirt. A few splatters of blood have been produced upon it from close scrapes. Over her top she wears a white medical over-coat, a slight habit she can't seem to break. The sleeves are stained a little past the wrist with dried blood and the front is in a very similar state. Her facility badge is still attached to the front pocket, where she also stashes a small flip notebook and pen.

She usually has a black leather messenger bag that is slightly small. In this she stores a digital camera with 20x optical zoom and 12.0 megapixel strength. A rather compact laptop computer that is --only 8" x 6" x 2/5"--. All this she uses for her medical research. Around her waist she wears a thin belt that has her knife strapped at her left hip. Slung around her shoulder opposite the bag is a quiver full of arrows and her bow.

Physical Strength:
She can fight with her fists and knife -- a little. She isn't the strongest, but is one of the best when it comes to archery. She can't lift all the much, or even carry a heavy load for too long

Physical Agility:
She can jog at a fast pace for about 10 miles straight, but is not so good at running in bursts or in very restricted areas. Has an unusual knack for climbing things, especially when it comes to spying foot and handholds that others normally would not. Has a poor vertical and horizontal jump, and is only averagely flexible for a female.

Job/Work:
Medical Engineer (works on cures for diseases and disorders for a living, though previously worked at a hospital as an intern and then resident for a brief period of time)

Training/Hobbies:
Advanced medical training in diagnosis and treatment
National Archery Champion in College -- life-long hobby
Cross-country runner (Middle school through 2nd year of college -- rarely has the time for it now)
Trained observer -- learns fast and is very rarely caught off guard
Selective computer skills (has select programs she can operate with a mastery only found on medical engineering computers)

Nationality: Irish

Other: None that I know of

Vutha the outbreak hasn't fully started yet. People ARE turning into zombies in the bigger cities and there's probably some trouble going on there but in Mobridge it's jussssst about to start.
We come into the world kicking and fighting for our lives, and I'll be damned if I go out any other way. -Shadowfire
