So Murdoc Jackson has been having one hell of an apocalypse. Once a humble scientist, Murdoc decided that living cowering in a evac shelter post-cataclysm was no way to live. He was going to reclaim the world with the power of !!SCIENCE!!. After some preliminary scouting and looting, Murdoc was kitted out pretty badass. Leather trenchcoat, kevlar vest, and a ruger redhawk with an obscene amount of ammunition. Murdoc had become the epitome of the post-apocalypse cowboy. He decided to take up smoking, as it was relaxing and made him look more badass.
Knowing that labs contained some pretty sweet gear that would help him survive, Murdoc took an ID card from a dead scientist and cracked open a science lab to see what supplies he could gather. The result was a large amount of CBMs, some various loot, and a few vials labelled “Lizard Serum”. Back when he was still a scientist, mutagenic experiments were all the rage and he knew full well that they could give some pretty sweet advantages. After installing the CBMs he decided to become more than human, and injected himself with both vials.
After some agonizing mutation, Murdoc was a new man. Well, maybe man is the wrong word. His face extended into a snout, his skin became thick and scaly, he sprouted fangs and grew considerably larger. Murdoc was now a cyborg lizardman. He donned an XL gasmask he found, to help conceal his condition from people who may be frightened by it.
After sleeping off the unpleasent effects of the mutations, Murdoc decided it would be a good idea to settle down and find a place to make a stronghold of some kind. While trekking through the woods he found a mansion, and met Hula Rendon. Hula seemed to not mind his fearsom visage, and wanted Murdoc to track down and kill a jabberwok. Unfortunatly for them both, the damn thing was literally sitting in the woods a few hundred meters away, and came bounding out at them.
Adopting his best Clint Eastwood stance, Murdoc drew his pistol and fired 6 shots in quick succession. Unfortunately, he was still pretty rubbish with a gun, and only hit the thing a few times. He frantically fed his gun more rounds as the creature bounded closer, howling and gurgling. Hula decided to help a bit, and threw a few arrows at the creature, wounding it. The monster reached Murdoc and slashed him up a bit. Murdoc knew he was going to die if he couldn’t end this quickly, but lucky for him aiming is not difficult when your opponent is beside you. He aimed his gun at what he figured might be the creature’s head, pulled the trigger, and blew it to several bloody lumps.
Thus began a fruitful friendship. Hula taught Murdoc some important skills, like marksmanship and dodging, and Murdoc supplied her with a better bow and arrows. The two of them found an LMOE shelter in the woods away from most threats, and set up a base camp there. But Murdoc slept uneasily most nights, plagued with dreams of living as a lizard person. He needed more serum, it was driving him mad!
He then resolved to find more labs. Leaving Hula to guard their home, he set out to find more labs, and some clues as to how he could make his posthuman transformation complete. Finally, after battling a large amount of turrets and undead bio operators, Murdoc found a book with the recipe he needed. All that was left was to train his chemistry skills and research. He would become complete.
EDIT: BLAST AND DAMNATION! He can make lizard serum, but doing so requires lizard mutagen, which he still does not know how to make. What a pain!
DOUBLE EDIT: Anyone know where to find reptile eggs?
