Male

Age/DOB:
22, O6/02

Occupation:
Camera man for Kat Lawless

Temperament:
He is a patient man, some say he is a mat for Kat Lawless but he just knows that the way she treats him is just how she is and so dismisses it. He has a serious exterior but put alcohol into his system and he will show the comical part of him and no matter what he does in this state he always makes people like. He is selfless, peopling others with no strings attached and never asking for anything back, but he was never like this...but that stays in his memories. How ever he is a hot headed man and if you turn him out of a bad day or twist his patience or use him be warned, he is not one for forgiveness all that much making him resentful of others that cross him while easily.

Likes/Dislikes:
+ Old movies
+ Technology ~ Computers, energy weapons...his camera that he made.
+ Jazz Music
+ Being in the thick of danger
+ Loves free running and so he loves heights.
+ Kat Lawless, he and her are very close friends and always have been.
- Alcohol and drugs
- The invaders
- The dark
- Closed in places
- Show offs
- Unneeded violence
- Abusive people

Fears:
~ Being abused
~ Being held against his will
~ Being alone

Skills:
He is agile, using his speed and stamina to free run, his place of solace. He practices kick boxing and so it not strong but knows where to hurt someone without using might. Understanding Technology, he is a handsome man but a true geek at heart. Fore thinking, he can plan things out and often they fall through as he says they will, he just says to this that most things can be calculated, you just need a time, place and a person in the plan.

Physical Description:
Ulysses is 5'9 foot in height and weights a light 153 pounds. He has icy blue eyes and light brown ruffled but short hair and has a small layer of stubble. He is often seen wearing a shirt with rolled up sleeves, jeans and running shoes but he always manages to look sharp. He has pale skin with few blemishes only with a small chunk out from his right ear from it being pierced and well, ripped out. He also has many scars on his back from abuse and finally a tattoo on his left wrist saying ''Smile.''

Background:
Ulyssess's past is a clouded one but it is known that he came from a abusive home, scars on his back, deep or light of many years of this when still a child and up to a teenager until he was rescued and took to a orphanage, no one adopted him so he spend his time looking after others and helping the people that housed him until he came of age.

When he got out from the orphanage he found himself lost and not trusting of other and so he turned to crime, he was not very good at it and he was landed into prison for two months where he seemed to just attracted abusive men and when he got out he promised himself never to go back there....

Then he got a call and he was asked to fix a camera at a Fox studio and this is where he met Kat Lawless and they instantly clicked together and due to his natural give with technology she gave him the job of camera man, at first taking her meanness to heart only to learn that it was just her and in a sense she strengthened his resolve and they just kept on growing closer even to this day yet he is still to really tell her about his past, jumping to another subjects...

Ulyssess wakes with tears running down his face and panting...he was having a panic attack and he whipped the covers from his body and turned, putting his feet to the ground, one hand holding his chest while the other wiping the sweat from his forehead and he would look around, taking long breaths in then slowly releasing them, eventually calming down.

He continued to look around, the early light of day only just coming into his room, yet the room itself was shrouded in darkness, his clothes consisting of a white long sleeved shirt, dark denim jeans and dressy black leather boots with scuffs on the tips of the toes on them. His room was plain, neutral colours, his bed was just the colour of white but his bed was the most comfiest thing he had slept on he weeks but he couldn't sleep...like most nights his dark past haunted his dreams...

He would sigh, holding his head with is palms, his elbows on his knees. ''It was just a dream...'' He sighed out in relief before wiping the tears from his eyes and slowly rising from his bed, his scars exposed and he would walk over to his folded clothing and slowly started to shoving them on.

He would ruffle his hair and creek the door open slowly to not wake anyone and started to walk with his hands in his trouser pockets with his head looking at his footsteps, the dark circles under his eyes showing restless sleep.

But then he would walk into something, or someone and as he looked up he jumped falling to the ground in shear panic as the back of Wade took him back into his past and he screamed and backed away...obviously his sleeplessness was making him a bit paranoid and delusional.

''No...you aren't here...you...you..YOU ARE DEAD!'' He screamed only to begin panicking...

With wheezy breathing he looked around and grabbed the nearest thing that was a broom and went to hit Wade form behind...

The gentle bump of someone walking absent mindedly into the sarcastic mercenary shook him from his fan based whining causing him to to turn his head in curiosity.

"Hope you're gunna by me a drink first bub."

He said jokingly as he turned to see who had come up all on his ass. To his surprise it was Ulysses, that hot reporters camera guy. He seemed like a pretty chill guy, that was when he wasn't drooling after Kat, which by the way was nothing against Ulysses cause that smoking hot blonde was easy to drool after. Wade had been caught lost in her mile long legs on more than one occasion, stupidly staring like a drunk ape. Wade always guessed Ulysses had a real thing for her, even though this proverbial Clark Kent seemed to constantly get played like a bad song by the head strong reporter.

"What's up Smallville?"

Wade asked only to have Ulysses began screaming wildly like he was seeing a ghost.

''No...you aren't here...you...you..YOU ARE DEAD!''

He shouted as panic took him. His eyes were wild and erratic as if whatever sight only his eyes saw terrified him to the very core. Ulysses lunged for Wade only to find himself thrown to the ground in seconds. Wade wasted no time grabbing his arm and throwing off balance before whipping him to the floor. The merc got on top of Ulysses, pinning his arm down with an expert twist keeping the camera man from moving or risk breaking something valuable.

"Hey sunshine, you're buddy Wade here. Not sure what the hell you're seeing but sorry to disappoint, I'm not dead, well not since last time I checked. I am also pretty sure I am in fact "here", if I wasn't I don't think I could have your arm ready to pop the way I do. If any of this is sinking just let me know so I can let you up, this bromance moment is getting a little weird."

A tremble racked through her whole body as a cold crisp wind whispered from behind, violently blowing snow and blonde strands forward. Kat shivered as she pulled the down coat tighter around her lithe form.

β€œDamn waste of time!” She muttered to herself furiously; warm breath clouding before her in smoky puffs.

This weather was going to drive her crazy! Kat thought mutinously spitting snow. She couldn't get a good shot on anything up in the sky. It had been two weeks since she and Ulyssess had come across the house once more and the weather had steadily gotten worse as had Kats temper. At this rate she was never going to get back to the Underground. To that warm studio with lights and cameras and electricity! And some damn form of civilization!

Kat trudged on through the knee high snow. Her temper the polar opposite of the freezing weather. She just wanted to get back down there. Was it so much to ask to sit behind a warm desk and report the news? She'd spent years risking her neck up here on ground zero to report the latest developments of the war between the two freaking alien fractions. It was high time someone else do the hard work! Kat convinced herself. In fact when she got back down to the Underground, she would tell – No! She would demand that she be given position of Anchor. She was done with this shit!

β€œWhoa!”

A large cloud of snow puffed up into the air as Kat landed flat face first in the snow. Sputtering and spitting, she managed to sit up and attempted to brush all the snow away . . . unsuccessfully.

β€œArgh!” Kat seethed angrily, her hands flailed sending more snow to stir the air.

She was so sick of this shit! She shouldn't have to live like this. She should . . . She should. She should be sitting under the lazy French sun, sipping a cappuccino with a wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower.

Sniffing, wiping her cold red nose on the back of her hand Kat sat in the pre-dawn darkness in the stirring snow for a moment before looking out across the distance. The wind whistled a haunting tune as dead as the forest that surrounded her. A flame flickered in the distance. Kat was tempted to call it home but she stopped herself. No, it was not home. It couldn't be. It was . . . It was just temporary. That's what she had been telling herself for the past ten years. Moving from one place to the next. One report to another . . . Kat just couldn't believe that this was all her life amounted to.

It wasn't long before Kat was opening the front door. She had ventured out during the dark of night when the snow had lightened but as soon as she had gotten far enough to not turn back it had start falling in bucks. Blocking any view of Denver and the huge space crafts that hovered over it.

Slamming the door shut, not caring if she woke anyone, Kat stomped into the main room trailing a track of melting snowflakes behind her. Coming to a stop before the fire, Kat quickly shed the large puffy down coat and flipped the furry Ugg boots off her feet; shivering in pleasure. The heat of the roaring fire hit her like a heavenly brick wall.

Man, she needed a drink.

It was only then, she began paying attention to the scene before.

β€œNice.” She smirked down at the two men on the floor as she pulled out the handy cam she always kept in her coat pocket and flipped it open. β€œI always knew you were queer Winston. I'm so getting this on camera.”

As Ulyssess was forced to the ground and twisted his arm, he'd grunt from the pain. He'd look to one side of him, his icy blue eye looked straight into Wade's eyes full of fear for one moment then started to calm despite being forced to the ground like a prisoner and he'd blink, breathing returning to normal..

''Uh..W-Wade? Wade! Oh...I am sorry..I...uh...it is hard to explain...I thought I was the only one up so you...um..startled me..I didn't actually um..want to hurt you, it was just a...reaction..'' He would explain..vaguely...strangely then clear his throat then wince from the pain as his arm was locked up where it shouldn't be then he blushed as Wade said 'bromance' and shook his head and instantly nodded. ''Yes, it is...I am sorry, I am..okay now...if you don't mind, I'd like to be released from your umm...embrace?''

Ulyssess would then see Kat and blush even more and frown at the sight of a camera. ''Turn that think off Kat, this is no laughign matter. I am trying to apologize and be umm...released? And you are not helping.'' He'd explain to his boss, his face only reddening further.

He would frown. ''Let me up!'' He'd order now starting to struggle, kicking Wade is the back with his legs. ''Please! This is embarrassing! She is not making this any better!''

Wade was about to respond to Ulysses explanation and corresponding apology when he heard Kat and noticed the camera.

"Are we on camera?"

Wade said stupidly before turning to look down at Ulysses then back to Kat.

"Well... this is awkward..."

He said forelornly before he seemed to sigh in resignation before he lifted him to his feet and brushing off his shoulders like a doting mother before a pageant.

"Well good buddy, guess there's only one thing to do. DANCE!"

Wade proclaimed dramatically before he proceeded attempt the worlds worst excuse for Beyonce's single ladies dance. Unfortunately for all those in attendance Wade also felt it necessary to butcher the songs lyrics as well.

"If you like it you should have put a ring on it! If you like it you should have put a ring on it! If you like it you should have put a ring on it! Something something ...(incoherent mumbling)... All the single ladies! HOHOHOHO!"

Ulyssess just watched as Wade started to dance and his red face paled again and a wide smile came to him and he burst out laughing and suddenly started to join in with the dance off, and being that he loved to dance when not stuck with computers and all around technology he would dance, Kat knew this, in fact she was the only one who knew this...until now as he strut his stuff, but he actually looked sharp and really knew how to be cool when he danced but he didn't sing he just grinned happily then stuck his tongue out at Kat before nudging Wade with a hip playfully then he looked at the time and stopped and his serious exterior returned in a instant.

''It is only that time?'' He would sigh, face palming himself and returned to his daydream like state...''Now I wonder if I can make a converter to use alien technology to power our equipment...''

β€œYeah not even I want that on camera.” Kat said snapping the camera shut but no without being able to fight a smile.

Heading towards the side board near the back of the room, Kat opened the cupboard and inspected their levels of alcohol stock. They were fast dwindling. But tonight she was breaking into the good stuff.

Grabbing a bottle of Jack and a tumbler, Kat filled it to the top for herself, not bothering to offer any to the others. She needed warming up from the inside. Coming back to the blazing fire, Kat slumped down into one of the comfy couches and flipped the small screen on her camera open again. Hitting the rewind button. Come on! There had to be something useful recorded tonight . . . Except there wasn't. It was just black broke by white flashes as the small speaker crackled with the sound of the wind.

Swearing something vicious. Kat turned on the couch so her bare feet dangled over the armrest heated by the burning embers in the hearth. Sighing heavily, she took a hearty gulp of the amber liquid in her glass. The whiskey burned a warm trail down her throat, warming her from the inside out.

She had to get out of here . . .

β€œSo why were you two getting it on in the middle of the floor?” Kat questioned lazily. β€œWith an audience? I didn't think you were into that sort of thing Ulyssess? Winston on the other hand . . .” Well all bets were off.

"What we done? Ah shit I was just about to whip out the cat daddy."

Wade said with slumped shoulders like a child in the grips of utter disappointment. He kicked his toe at the ground saddly before looking up at Kat and strutting over to her before casually leaning on her shoulder.

"Hey Lois, next time we crazy kids break it down you need to join in and turn this bro down into a ho down."

Wade's face was plastered with a big stupid grin as he went on ignoring Ulysses more serious words. Some people thought Wade's way of making light of every situation was merely out of his own stupidity or childish immaturity. Some people would be wrong. Others would say that it was his subconscious making light of the grim seriousness of his surroundings. Others would be no more right than some people. The truth was Wade didn't really give a shit. He was like a dog chasing cars, he wouldn't know to do with one if he caught it.

"Oh and shit I dunno, this time it wasn't me forcing cuddles on members of our group. Smallville here thought it be fun to go all crazy before having me rock bottom his ass."

Louis continued to kneel by the roaring fire. It seemed one by one, their entire gang had somehow ended up in the living room. Taking a last gulp from his mug he made a smile and stood to his feet. He had to stop himself from pulling his colt 42 from his waist as the ever charming Kat Lawless burst through the door. Having settled his nerves quickly he made a slight nod toward Kat. "Pleasure to see you alive and thriving Ms Lawless." Louis cleared his throat and casually went back to the battery powered coffee maker.

"So, what do you night owls want to drink? I think the others are still sleeping but what the hell." He said, staring at a collection of artificial coffee packets he found in one of the cabinets of the kitchen. He spoke in a sarcastic tone as he read the rest of the labels. "We got, cappuccino, hot chocolate and something called, old fashion coffee ground... hm... looks like this stuff may be a decade out of date though huh." He then grabbed a container from one of the lower cabinets and opened the back sliding glass door. A rush of cold air whooshed into the house. Without delaying, he filled the container with snow and then closed the door. "Well, there is our water for damn coffee..."

He glanced up to see the others, made a sarcastic grin and walked toward the fire to melt the snow. After it melted he walked toward the end of the room and picked up a 12 pack of Bud-light. Lifting the case he showed the prize. "On the other hand, I also have these beauties that I found in the basement. Any takers?"

"Dibs!"

Wade said excitedly as he rushed over and relived Louis of the heavy, heavy burden the beers no doubt brought upon him. He pulled one out of the plastic turtle killer and popped it open with a clean hiss. He took a long thristy gulp before sighing in joy and looking at Louis with a happy grin.

"Dude, I kinda love you right now."

He downed the beer within the next few gulps before popping open a second, tossing himself on the couch and kicking his feet up.

"Ok Avengers, what's the plan from here? Alien ass kickery? Loki style trickery? Pancake making-ery?... ok so the last one didn't rhyme. Shit it's not like I have the time to sit there and write out what I say like I was sitting in front of a computer writing some shitty online role-play or something. I can't proofread my thoughts."

"Hey Lois, next time we crazy kids break it down you need to join in and turn this bro down into a ho down."

β€œWhy would I do that? You and Ulyssess seemed to be enjoying yourself quite well without me.” Kat commented blandly, moving so the big lug slumped across her back slid down suddenly.

She kept a surreptitious eye of Wade Winston, always. He had a thing about getting up close and rubbing up on her like a Wolf in heat. Kat didn't trust any of the wack jobs in this house. She didn't know them well enough. And even if she did she wasn't the friend making sort. She didn't have time for such trivialities in her life. But she couldn't deny to her own surprise that Winston's goofing around genuinely brought a smile to her face. One she didn't always show. Like presently.

Turning to Ulyssess; Kat had ignored Ulyssess earlier comments. He was a bigger kill joy then she was. Plus, she hadn't brought him along for his opinions. His job was to get a good shot of her and then a decent shot of the situation. Coming to this cabin had relaxed his work ethic and if he didn't pick up the slack soon, he was going to get one of her sharp talkings to.

"Pleasure to see you alive and thriving Ms Lawless." Kat turned in the direction of Louis Wrath's sardonic voice.

She smiled brightly at him. A smile that disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. Listening with half an ear as Louis ran through their choices of breakfast beverage.

β€œI think I'll stick with what I've got.” She commented taking another sip of the strong whiskey.

"Ok Avengers, what's the plan from here? Alien ass kickery? Loki style trickery? Pancake making-ery?... ok so the last one didn't rhyme. Shit it's not like I have the time to sit there and write out what I say like I was sitting in front of a computer writing some shitty online role-play or something. I can't proofread my thoughts."

Kat scowled at Winston's words.

β€œWhere exactly would you fight Aliens in the middle of a snow storm, genius?” She snapped.

"In the snow?"

Wade replied back with a blank stare. Suddenly the image of every member of the group engaged in a massive team battle snowball fight with the aliens played out in his head. Louis had a gatling gun that fired snow balls. Ulysses and Casper were in cover behind the safe walls of the snow fort lobbing snow like grenades, that of course exploded on contact in a shower of snow crystals and shrapnel. Wade was bamfing around the battle field with dual ice katanas fighting alien snowmen. And then there was Kat, prancing around in a skimpy little bikini and snow boots as she fired a dual smg's that fired ice spikes.

"Awww awesome...."

He muttered to himself as he got lost in his day dream.

Shit on a shingle, here comes his biggest fan girl. Wade was a good man but he did take the book a little too seriously, Casper was flattered he enjoyed his works so much and the two were friends but every time something happened that he disagreed with he got audio hate-mail sprayed in his ear.

It was actually rather funny that the big hulk of a man got so emotional over the characters, Ellie too nonetheless. "Deep into the Heart of darkness" was a book about a group of escaped convicts who take a family hostage and flee into an untraveled part of the galaxy and are consequentially stranded on a mysterious planet. However, in standard horror fashion, the planet is inhabited by an unknown entity that hunts them down one by one. Ellie was the spunky teenage daughter of the family and was purposely written to be loved by the reader so it would be extremely emotional when she met her inevitable and planned end. Up until her death only the convicts were being slaughtered and as any good writer could tell you, that just wasn't enough.

"Well, I wanted to go out in heroic fashion but she served as more than just that spunky teenager that everyone liked. She was a symbol of innocence and fun and when I killed her I showed how that innocence had also died in the rest of her family." Casper explained to the mercenary. In truth he did like having someone to explain his motivations to. Before the merc could respond Ulyssess bumped into him and the chaos started.

Before Casper was even sure what had happened, the cameraman was flipping his shit and Wade was jumping on top of him. Kat was filming, Casper was dying of laughter and this was going to make a great addition to his book. Wade, probably in attempt to distract from the awkward moment, got off of the camera man and started to dance.

Casper smiled at the cameraman "Now White, apocalypse love is a lot like prison love. The sex you want, you ain't getting and the sex you getting you don't want."

The rest of the group proceeded to discuss amongst them and eventually some drinks got pulled out. Casper looked at the cans with a drool and literally had to bite his tongue to resist screaming out that he wanted one.

He looked to the merc daydreaming about his snow war, β€œI have to admit, I agree with Kat, there is no way we can fight in this.”

Ulyssess would come back in the room only for Casper explaining his book, Ulyssess hadn't read it but it was nice...for some normality of sorts then as Casper turned his head to him he grinned like a little boy, shy and innocent then he went red much like a freshly bloomed rose as Casper teased him with his explanation of prison love and apocalyptic love and by the end he would be defensive...

''I don't know what you are getting at but obviously you are the one that desires that...'' He'd clear his throat as he realized his newly found talent....digging a hole deeper..

He would then see the beer cans and seeing everyone digging into them and he went silent and paled almost instantaneously as he had some sort of flash back into his past and fear was written on his face much like a open book then as he shook his head he came back to reality and walked away from all of them in the room and sat himself near the fire, looking at the flames with his obviously tired and wary eyes, the flashes of orange in his icy blue hues made his eye colour more noticeable and the tips of his hair became blond like in the light and heat of the fire that was slowly dying..

He'd sigh to himself putting a hand to the fire and watched as the flames danced below it, heating his slender hand and though he looked at the flames with anger, he seemingly was more at peace as well, a hard mix of emotion to understand unless you knew of the experience he had or went through it yourself.

But if you didn't, well, he just looked terribly tired and haunted...

He'd sigh again then flick his hand from the flames as he burnt himself on it but sighed again and just used the same minor burnt hand to rest his face on it and despite the stinging he didn't complain, he was a strange young man, dabbling in technology both human and alien and actually understanding it but guarded, even with his closest friend Kat Lawless, even she did not know of his past, only what he told her, which was not much in itself.

He was a mystery, a unknown in the group and only Kat Lawless could say that he was harmless, despite the fact that he almost succeeded in attacking Wade to which didn't even explain why, really...he meant it when he apologized but be was so guarded he wouldn't admit anything from his past or actions, he would just know when he was wrong and apologize for it over and over again...

For a man to be so fragile was...unusual but he knew how to defend the group and with great strength, he was just....a conundrum...

Kat swung up onto her feet; whiskey sloshing, listening to Casper's comical explanation of sex in the worlds current war torn climate. Before Wade got that stupid look across his face and was lost in one of his fantasies. Kat kicked him hard in the shin to bring him back to reality.

β€œLook,” She said exasperated and irritated all at the same time. β€œWe do need to do something. I can't spend the rest of my life hauled up in a house in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of guys one step removed from going homo on each other. So what's the plan? I mean after the snow stops.” She questioned Louis the unofficial leader of this weird ass clan.

She had to get back to the Underground. People were actually trying to do something down there. Kat couldn't believe that the world would never be put to rights again. It just had to!

β€œYou write this shit.” Kat turned to Casper. Though she liked to read, science fic horror wasn't her favourite genre. β€œHow do the humans in your novels make it out alive?”

So she'd asked the question. But even Kat wasn't sure she wanted to hear the answer, unless it had a happy ending . . . For the humans. Taking a sip and then a gulp of the amber liquor, Kat decided it wasn't enough . . .

Ulyssess continued to look deepily into the flames, calmness flowing through him as he went through his thoughts but suddenly he killed the silence of the room as he started to sing to himself forgetting everyone in the room, and he sounded...good and sung a song called Swansong.

''I never thought I'd see the day
I thought that I had finally moved along
And I had let you go so long ago, so long
This is not, this is not where I belong

So I wait for this shallow itch to pass
And I wait, yeah I wait

Hey hey, I'm ok
I don't need this anyway, I'm fine
What's yours and mine
Oh oh, I don't know
What I was ever hoping I would find
But it's time for me to leave this all behind

I don't regret a single thing
I couldn't say it didn't feel alright
But I don't want to stay and I don't want to fight
All alone, with my foolish appetite

So I wait for this shallow itch to pass
And I wait, yeah I wait

Hey hey, I'm ok
I don't need this anyway, I'm fine
What's yours and mine
Oh oh, I don't know
What I was ever hoping I would find
But it's time for me to leave this all behind

I don't have the heart to give away to you again
I don't have the stomach for it, no one ever wins
We had our fun but I have sung this song to you before
Here's my last refrain

Hey hey, I'm ok
I don't need this anyway, I'm fine
What's yours and mine
Oh oh, I don't know
What I was ever hoping I would find
But it's time for me to leave this all behind

Hey hey, I'm ok
I don't need this anyway, I'm fine
What's yours and mine
Oh oh, I don't know
What I was ever hoping I would find
But it's time for me to leave this all behind..''

He would shortly smile to himself still in his daydream like state, watching the fire, flames crackling, dancing around and spitting bursts of flame only to disappear shortly after then he saddened and just stared at the fire once more..

Louis was enjoying the scene before him. Not speaking, just observing. A brief silence came over the group as Ulyssess calmly interrupted with his dreamy-like song. But as the silence became more deafening, Louis forced himself to interject his thoughts...

"I remember a few days after the falling, I was in denver at the time. Searching through the remnants of my apartment building." He stopped to clear his throat and then continued. "The military attempted a full scale nuclear strike against one of the ships. After everyone was evacuated to a safe distance, I watched from miles away as the war heads rocketed toward their target... but nothing happened... They were harmlessly deflected before they hit the ship. They never even went off, completely deactivated.

"If nukes couldn't touch those bastards then we need to figure out their weakness." With a sorrowful look on his face, he grabbed one of the beers and downed the entire thing in one go. "It's obvious isn't it? He said starring down at the floor, a hazy look in his eye. The only way to find out their weakness, it to capture one of them."
