When people thought about the end of the world coming they typically pictured one of several scenarios.

Climate Change, Nuclear War, a giant meteor falling out of the sky and squishing everyone.

When the end did come it came in a way no one in their right mind could have seen coming.

THE WAVE

It started in Hong Kong. One day without warning tens of thousands of people all seemed to come down with something. At first it just seemed like another case of Bird Flu or SARS had broken out...

Only it spread fast...WAY too fast. Pretty soon close to 47% of the world's population had started to feel the telltale flu like symptoms.

One week after the first cases were reported the first instances of death occurred.

48 hours after that came the mass die-offs.

Hospitals, gymnasiums turned refugee camps, the highways all of them were choked with the dead or dying.

Mass graves became the norm as the governments around the world tried to deal with the disaster.

Then a few hours after that...

The dead rose!

That's how you remember it happening...the end of the world...

Now in the wake of it all you can only struggle desperately to cling to life.

To keep moving forward...

Yet sometimes despite trying not to you can't help but find yourself looking back to your past...

[X] Plan: Medical savior

-[x] Name: Jameson Heban

And before all this you were...

-[x] A First Responder
--[x]EMT

get medical first response, get some people saved, figure out the ailment, and then get some survivors until we can get things decent enough we wont die off.

also are the zombies increasing in numbers besides deaths of survivors? Will the zombies really rot or just stay at a certain level of decay? will they mutate? So many questions...a endless waves of undead coming out of weird ass portals would be interesting to fight.

edited: emergency medical technician done, we could probably save more lives this way.

First responder is just an overall category, you have to pick the sub category of EMT, fire fighter or police. I've edited it slightly
 
[X] Plan: Medical Savior

Sounds good to me. Surprised there wasn't something like a Prison Guard job though.
 
[jk] Madman in an insane world.
-[jk] David Henderson (yes, you are related to THAT Henderson.)
-[jk] Paranoid Apocalypse Prepper (You prepared for every possible death scenario especially after your old man somehow died in an ice rink explosion.)
 
Due to lack of activity and my date being cancelled on account of rain and not being able to get movie seats I am closing the vote early. Plan medical savior wins. Update incoming.
 
Character creation: part 2
Most of the surviving people's first realization of the world ending was when the streets were suddenly filled with hordes of the once dead now turned undead.

Not you though. You knew something was off before anyone else, probably because you were there on the front lines before anyone else.

Your name is Jameson Heban, known to those you once cared for as "James", "Jamie", "Jim", "Jimmy" depending on who you asked.

Though you most preferred: []

You were a son of polish immigrants who fled the devastated former eastern block after the Iron curtain came down. With nothing but the clothes on their backs they did their best to make a living for themselves and you in:

A major shipping town in New England []
A Major Metropolis in the Mid Atlantic []
A major Oil producing Town near the Gulf of Mexico []
A Major Lumber producing town in the Pacific Northwest []
A major steel town in the Smokey Mountains []
A suburb of Silicon Valley []
A major mining town amidst the splendor of the Rockies []
A major agriculture hub in The Midwest []
A major transportation hub along the Great Lakes []

Ultimately they succeeded in doing so and so for the first few years of your life you were like any other kid. You play fought with sticks as swords, built forts, read comics, and watched cartoons.

When it came to things regarding the supernatural in the various media you were exposed to you:

Were indifferent about their possible existence []
A firm believer in their existence []
A major doubter in their existence []

Of all the things you liked to do though the thing you most enjoyed to do was to explore all sorts of neat places with your friends. It was during one such expedition that your life changed forever. One of your friends was badly injured and you, helpless little you was unable to do a thing to improve the situation.

Then he came...the man in the ambulance...the man who saved your friend's life...you watched him work splinting bones, mending wounds...

And you knew what you wanted to do with your life.

So emerged your dream to became a healer. Your parents were not rich and therefor could not pull strings to get you work fancy hospital. That was okay though. As long as you could help others that was all you cared about. You did so by:

Becoming a medic in the National Guard []
Working for a hospital in a less than savory borough []
Working for a hospital in a nearby small town []

It was while working there, as you helped the doctors desperately do there best to provide some succor to those afflicted by the pandemic sweeping the globe that you had your first exposure to what would soon become a common and devastating occurrence...

The waking of the living dead...
