Hell isn't lazy. It is the pitiful souls of humans that are lazy.

Too lazy to even gain entrance into heaven. Such a shame, poor bastards.

Indeed my friend.

Nice sheet Shacklor, but are you sure you want your characters name to be Shcklor? I like to believe you missed placed that "a" because I can not ever dream of pronouncing that.

Indeed, I have a 360 and I will be getting it. But just for the record, for anyone else who reads this, questions like this are best asked/answered by PM. It's a very slippery slope to off topic gibberish.

Birthplace: Seattle, Washington

If an Ark survivor, original faction: Security

Name: James "Count" Li

Age: 30

Nationality/Race: Asian/Caucasian

Appearance: He stands tall at about 5'11, but is of slender build. His body is defined with very lean muscle and the many scars that he carries from his time in the prison. Long messy black hair and a face that looks years younger then the actual age.

Faction: N/A

Occupation: Leader and protector of the town of Dauntes; a small town on the outskirts of the city

Skills: Basic medical and agricultural knowledge,CQB, Close Quarters Weapons, and Unarmed Combat

Traits: His calm charismatic demeanor, calculated attack planning, and his infamous ability to turn almost anything into a weapon.

Weapons: A karambit knife and two revolvers; one snub nose, the other long barrel

Clothing: He is usually seen clad in a well worn brown jacket with a tattered grey work shirt beneath it, also seen wearing dark military style pants and a light pair of shoes

Misc: A silver locket he always wears, that has special meaning to him.

Personality: James is very charismatic, convincing others of his point of view with relative ease. He's also the type of person that if he speaks, people instinctively listen. He also has an unusual calm about him, never easily letting himself be flustered by most things. He speaks with great articulation and tact whenever engaging anyone in conversation. He constantly anolyzes and sizes up anyone he speaks to, trying to divine intent and character from them. James is also very shrewd when it comes to governing and protecting his town, he cares for everyone in his town and would die to keep them safe.

Bio: James Li was Born in Seattle Washington to a mixed race couple. His father was recruited to the ARK project for his expertise in plant life, particularly in the growing of renewable foods such as vegetables and fruit. James and his family lived quite comfortably on the ARK for a time, until the refugees started showing up. With the large influx of new mouths to feed showing up the food supply wasn't stable enough to provide what everyone needed. After incidents of theft and beatings were reported all new arrivals were forced into a contained area away from the founders side.

James was a bright child as intelligent as his father, and having his mothers wits about him. He was very athletic, running track and practicing martial arts, things for a time were stable in the ARK. As James matured it was suggested by the hierarchy that after high school he work along side his father to help solve the looming food crisis. Not long after his graduation, the first shots of the rebellion were fired. It was unfortunate that his family was amoung the first casualties. His mother and father were both killed in a bomb plot that was meant for the founder themselves. Not long after this the Security force was formed, James desperate to get revenge and perhaps abit of closure joined their ranks right away.

After many operations James moved up the ranks to even commanding some missions as well. He quickly became known for his formability in close quarters combat as well as negotiations. He was known as a mercy officer among the refugees, only dealing out punishment to those actively involved in the conflicts. When James saw life from the other side of the ARK there was abit of culture shock, mostly in that the founder's side had been mislead to believe that the refugee side was receiving their equal share of resources. This was apparently a bold faced lie and a tool of the propaganda campaign that had been waged by the founders themselves to drum up contempt for the refugees. The vast majority of the Resistance from what James observed were men with working knowledge of combat, but the thing that startled him the most was the young ones. They couldn't have been older then sixteen or so, but yet they fought just as ferociously as the security force they opposed. As the conflict dragged on the rage that he felt for the Resistance had been replaced with pity, he had realized after the many interrogations and battles that these people had been forced against a wall. They had to fight to get anything on the ARK.

The more he fought and with each successive victory he began to see more and more the hypocrisy of the the "Righteous cause" that he had been fighting for. He began to grow weary of the blind loyalty that the founders were commanding in their military force, and each day the soldiers seemed to be growing more and more sadistic. Interrogations were slowly deteriorating into torture, and simple Intel gather operations were becoming complete sweep and cleans. Things finally came to a head when James was promoted to a permanent command position. The higher ups had heard of his work with the refugees and figured his skills would prove useful in their next operation. He was told that this operation would prove vital to restoring peace to the ARK. James was told that peace talks were to start soon and his operation was the first step to help them along. This sounded promising as the fighting had been going on for so long, with many casualties on both sides. The mission progressed easy enough with James being given instructions by the higher command, first to covertly enter the given location of the Resistance and then to deliver the message from the high command. Once this task was completed they were ordered to another location further into the refugee section. Resistance leaders left to meet with security equivalents to start the peace talks. Not long after the "talks" had started James and his group were ordered to start what would be known after that night as "operation: SLATE". This operation was the founders final solution to the conflict.

James and his group were ordered to kill as many of them as they could. James refused the command and ordered his men to stand down. This was to no avail however, as the men under his command were in the pocket of the higher ups and were all to quick to turn on James. He fought them off the best he could, but in the end could not overcome the sheer number of his team. He was branded a traitor and was forced to watch operation: SLATE be carried out in front of him. People being locked in building and having them set ablaze, executions of family's, the old and young. He never forgot what he had seen that night, his faith in what his father had dedicated his life to died that night. He was imprisoned shortly after the operation; which hadn't been a success thanks to the foresight if the Resistance. He sat in his cell for years as he was routinely tortured and interrogated. He had been branded a traitor to the cause, and his commanding officer took all too much pleasure in painting him as a Resistance traitor. For the years he sat in that prison James realized something, this was a place they put the ones who they were embarrassed by.

There were many like him in that prison, some had done something as simple as saving a staving child by giving them food, others had done the same as him. After a few years he started plotting his escape, slowly gathering what he needed as well as learning more then he had anticipated from the cell adjacent to him. James knew very little of the man in the cell, only that he was a Field medic and a priest. He had refused to disclose the location of refugees he had help escape the security forces, and for that was imprisoned. They got to talking and worked out a plan together to escape by breaking into the duct system and escaping the ARK on a commandeered ship. It would take them sometime to make head way but slowly but surely they forged ahead. That was until the Mercs rose and attacked the prison. James and his cellmate seized the opportunity to escape, this unfortunately ended badly for his cell mate who was critically injured when a concussion blast hurled him against a steel wall, damaging his already frail body. James refused to leave his friend behind, but his Friend knowing it was too late divulged some hidden information to James. He had apparently been imprisoned not for harboring refugees, but withholding information about the location of a haven of renewable resource in the outside world. Seeing his death a imminent he gave James the cryptic map that he kept inside his locket, telling him to start over there and make the world his father always dreamed he would. Taking the locket and his Friend's advice he fled.

It took him but a couple of months but he managed to make a small make shift boat an leave the ARK. A storm eventually washed him on shore where he opened the locket to find one final message from his fallen friend. In it it detailed not only the location of the land of new hope, but also the plot the founders had laid against James's father who along with his Friend had known the location of the land of new hope. James after hearing this pledged to Honor his father's and Friend's final wished and use it to only for good. James followed the map and eventually found the location. True to form, the place was a giant renewable resource area. The soil was fertile and a fresh water spring under it insured the area's renewabllity. He lived off the land himself for awhile, that was until "it" happened. The people just started showing up on the shore line. James recognized a few from the prison and guided them to his land find. Grateful for the help they offered service to him, this was of course strange to James who hadn't had anyone pledge anything to him in his entire life. The ARK had crashed and not all the survivors were friendly, they soon started splitting into factions and fighting amoung each other.

It was at that time that James realized what his father had wanted this place used for. He would make that land a sanctuary from the world surrounding it. A place were the innocent would be protected free of the factions influence. As his vision grew so did his ambition to achieve, he soon found more followers from the prison to help him build that world. After some time the town of Dauntes had been constructed, and with James's help they were even growing their own food. The refugees soon started finding their way to it. The town soon gained a reputation as the only true safe haven of the new world, with the strict weapon laws that were enforced and the town law enforcement composed of the military prisoners. The people of the town appointed James their leader; a position he reluctantly accepted. No one of them actually knew his name so he was dubbed "The Count" by his men, for his parallels with the character from the Dumas novel. He fought off any that might seek to harm what he had created, he would bleed for these people to have what had been given to them.
