Captain Lee Harden - The Remaining (Zombie/Post Apocalyptic)

Lee Harden is a Captain in the United States Army, formerly a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army Rangers. Whilst deployed in Iraq, both Lees parente were killed in a car crash. At somepoint after, Lee was one of 260 members of the military that received a letter recruiting them for "Project Hometown", of the 260 recruited, only 60 potential candidates met the criteria to be a Project Hometown coordinator. For the 60 servicemen that passed the initial recruitment battery, a years worth of physical, mental and educational training would whittle that number down to 48, one coordinator for each of the lower 48 States (Excluding Alaska and Hawaii). Each of the 48 Coordinators received training from the Navy Seals/DEVGRU, The Green Berets, Delta among other SF regiments, as well as degree level educations in governance, social sciences and anthropology.

Each candidate of the program was chosen on several criteria; their ability to work in solitude, an uncommon resiliency in the face of adversity, no dependants (Partners or children) and no surviving family. These Coordinators are an apparent last thrust of government into a post-apocalyptic world in order to return to civilisation.  


Project Hometown was established as a last ditch hope of the United States government to attempt to ensure the continuity of the survival of the United States of America following a major disaster. The mission of the program is simple; in the event of a total collapse of government and infrastructure, the program will attempt to ensure the survival of remaining American citizens in an effort to organize, develop and re-establish society, through the use of highly trained and specialised operators.


These Coordinators were to integrate themselves into their local community and behave as ordinary citizens, never revealing themselves to be part of a government contingency plan. Coordinators were housed in specially built accommodations, the main houses themselves reinforced to withstand practically anything bar a direct nuclear blast, with an impenitrable bunker buried beneath the house which ran off its own disconnected utilities, making it completely independent should the house, or local infrastructure be destroyed or rendered inaccessible. These bunkers, colloquially referred to as "The Hole", were lavishly constructed; with natural light replicating illumination, rainfall showers, King sized beds, large plasma screen tvs, games consoles with up to date game selection, personalised book and film libraries, large computer station used for official duties and a weapons stockpile.

Due to long term confinement, Coordinators were encouraged to have house trained pets to ease the strain, Lees being a schutzhund trained German Shepard named Tango (Who would later succumb to the F.U.R.Y virus, and later be replaced by a mutt/mongrel that Lee would name Deuce)

In the event of a disaster or perceived national threat, each Coordinator is asked to sequester themselves below ground in their bunkers to wait out the threat, during this time they will receive daily check ins with their commander Colonel Frank Reid and monitor media via television and internet. If in the event of a missed check in with their command, the Coordinators were to open up a safe after 48 hours of silence, read the information contained and then prepare to exit their Holes after 28 more days. This safe would contain information concerning the situation outside their Holes and predictions of what it would be like in 28 days when they would exit.

Each Coordinator was issued a uniqur, fingerprint coded GPS device loaded with the locations of supply bunkers. To open each bunker, Coordinators would require a series of scans such as finger and retinal, as well as passwords and answers, and finally their unique Issued GPS devices which would only open the bunkers for their designated state. These bunkers doubled up as basic housing (beds, showers, kitchen) and contained vast supplies of water, food, weapons as well as other kit items such as radios, army issue uniforms. They also contained command and control rooms loaded with intell reports and satellite image prints updated to the date of civilisations fall.
Each bunker also had a series of elaborate defence capabilities, including but not limited to electrifying anyone who attempted to enter the bunker without the correct credentials.

Lee is stationed in a suburban area outside of Angier, South Carolina, this is subject to change throughout the course of the story, and will depend on the roleplay.
