Bit early seeing as I was going to create a similar thread later on today but not to worry!
Here's some pics:
With regards to the 4 characters shown on the first pic...
Shi No Numa Character Bios
You're not going to believe this.
Recon has picked up some very strange information. Until recently, I
would have marked this zombie infestation as the most twisted turn of
events our boys have yet encountered. However, it turns out that the
men themselves are about as unlikely a group as the zombies attacking
them.
Intelligence reports reveal that it is not just
our boys
trapped in the Japanese swamplands. The fact that these four haven't
killed each other alone speaks measures of the immense danger they must
be facing.
Below you'll find their profiles. Oh, how adversity affects us.
Tank Dempsey (USA)
Tank Dempsey: American hero. Give him a loaded weapon, a good woman,
and something to shoot at and hes happy. Cross him and hell rip your
guts out and use them as a bandolier. Dempsey was selected for this
mission after he showed his true grit at the battle for Peleliu. His
unit was captured during the early raids before the main invasion, and
he spent 2 weeks in a rat infested bamboo cage submerged in malarial
water. Eventually, he gnawed his way through the cage, and then gnawed
his way through his captors armed only with a Bobby pin and his Medal
of Honor which he keeps secreted in various body cavities. There is no
before the war for Dempsey, there is no after. There is only the legend
of Tank Dempsey, and how he won the war for the rest of us.
Leaving behind a wake of destruction and meat sacks wherever he
goes, Dempsey is the man to have on your side when faced with an undead
apocalypse.
Nikolai Belinski (RUS)
Stalin himself cannot stare Nikolai in the eye, no one can. For in
his eyes you see the soul of a man burning with a hatred of all things
living. His closet is full of skeletons, many of them with the flesh
still attached. Before the war, Nikolai quickly made his way up through
the party ranks by killing the next man in line, and by marrying
politically. His aspirations all came crashing down after his fifth
wife mysteriously died while cleaning Nikolais axe with her neck.
Little did he know that she had been sleeping with a high ranking party
official on the side. After her tragic demise, Nikolais reputation
spread quickly through the party, and it wasnt long before Stalin
himself had heard about the psychopathic politician who killed anything
that came within 5 feet of him. As soon as the war started, Nikolai was
dropped at the front line and forgotten about, where he wallowed in
self pity and Vodka for several years.
With many weapons in his arsenal, not least of which is his breath,
Nikolai Belinski can look death in the eye and say I know you.
Takeo Masaki (JAP)
Tattooed on the inside of Takeos eyelids is the Japanese proverb
Life is light when compared to honor. For Takeo, life has no meaning
if not to perfect ones discipline and to reveal a warriors true
character and honor. He ponders this and other philosophical questions
as his Katana slices through the flesh and sinew of his enemy.
Takeo was born into wealth. His family dynasty dates back several
centuries, and throughout that time they have been highly decorated
Samurai and Bushi. Takeo is no exception to this celebrated bloodline.
When the family first saw the young, life-filled 5 year old Takeo
playing in the street with his Katana and slicing the tails off
terrified kittens, they knew he was destined to bring honor to the
Masaki name.
The war was a perfect opportunity for Takeo to explore his bloodlust
and study the nature of those less honorable than himself. If you fall
victim to his swift action and might, know that you have helped a man
better than you reach enlightenment.
Doctor Richtofen (GER)
Beware The Doc. This message was scrawled across walls of every
Prisoner of War camp under Axis control. Starvation may cripple you,
dysentery may wreck you, and gunfire may rip the flesh from your bones,
but Beware The Doc.
Meet Dr. Richtofen, known affectionately as The Butcher to his
victims as they scream in agony moments before he snuffs out their
light. Throughout his career, Richtofen has always been at the
forefront of torture and information extraction research. Before the
war he was a back alley plastic surgeon, who created an army of
monstrous affluent Weimar socialites that would follow him around and
laugh at every joke the genius doctor made. This all fell apart when
the republic fell and the Nazi party took control. To Richtofen, their
values were too moral, too liberal for his liking. He joined the army
so he could satisfy his need to watch people die, slowly.
An incurable sociopath, he sees no moral distinction between natural
death and murder. The victim is the victim, regardless of how their
demise manifests itself.
He has a collection of stuffed animals, most of them posed in positions of terror at the instant of their death!!
