If you're really going with Dovahkiin as a last name, people are just going to have to call you Ethan in the games.

Hitchhiker isn't an actual occupation. Either pick a real occupation or just go with unemployed.
Also, you have to come up with a better back story, otherwise I'll just make up one.

I'm in.
Name: Dyama Koyovsky
Occupation: Pilot
Helmet: ODST
Shoulders: None
Chest: Default
Color scheme: Blue x White x Rose x Gradient x Brick x Sage x White
Backstory: As long as she could remember, Dyama had always been fascinated by the thought of space travel. At 18, she left her home to apprentice under Cole Hawkins, a long retired UNSC pilot operating a small trading group. Cole's trading company went under after 2 years, time enough for her to learn to fly anything from a humble fighter to carrier-sized colony ships. Dyama took a job as a reserve pilot for a colony ship headed to a distant planet.
Thought I'd try something new and throw a female character into the mix.
That way this isn't the usual sausage fest

Oh, I see, you're just a RESERVE pilot. You aren't the main pilot who crashed the ship and screwed everything up.
Smart thinking, seeing as in every movie that ever features a crash, the pilot gets shit on by everybody else.

I had been thinking about this. The way I figured, there really isn't any good solution to the problem. Even in a zombie apocalypse/shipwreck, people are bound to hit on any and all chicks in the group. If nobody does, then it's unrealistic. If somebody does, then it's awkward.
I will however be adding "NPCs", so that might help with a solution.

I'm in.
Name: Victor Forge
Occupation: Maintenance Man
Helmet: CQC
Shoulders: FJ/PARA
Chest: Default
Color Scheme: Primary - Gold Secondary - Gold
Emblem: Number 9 Round background.
Emblem Color: Steel Emblem Background: White
Backstory: After being kicked out of his university, Victor Forge lived a poor life as a struggling mechanic at a local fueling station. But when no money was coming in due to lack of clients coming to his rented garage, he eventually got evicted from his home and found himself wandering the streets jobless. After weeks of wandering he eventually found himself working for hotels and schools as the custodian. He found himself bunking with the staff because of his severe lack of funds. Eventually, one of the staff's vehicles broke down and Victor helped fix it. The staff member noticed his skills and got him a job working on the maintenance crew of his own companiy's spaceship. Victor now works on various space shuttles owned by multiple companies with his crew of 10 and they prove to be efficient workers for their clients. If it breaks, Vick fixes it.

Re: Interactive Zombie Machinima - Sign Up/Character Creation
Some NPC's:
Name: Captain Breckinridge
Occupation: Colonial Security Force
Background: You don't know much about this guy, aside from the fact that he seems to be the captain of the ship's security detail. Private security types who take their job very seriously can seem shifty, but you've never been bothered by this guy or any of the security personnel, so you assume he must not be too bad.
Name: Alan Taylor
Occupation: Chief Mechanic
Background: This guy is apparently the ship's chief mechanic. While engineers often do work in the ship, his job was apparently going to be to maintain the various vehicles used to build and protect the colony. You haven't really spoken to him, and don't know much about him yet.
Name: Lieutenant Colfax
Occupation: Colonial Security Force
Background: Unsurprisingly, you also don't know anything about this guy. The ship had tons of people on it, why would you know stuff about the various security personnel? What you do know is that he seems to be the second in command of the security forces.
Name: Dr. Morton
Occupation: Doctor
Background: You've never even seen or heard of this person before, up until you stepped outside the ship. Evidently she's a doctor. You aren't entirely sure if she's just another doctor that was going to the colony, or if she was in charge of the other doctors going as well.

I thought about making the doctor NPC female, but figured that would be cliched, having all the soldiers be males while the female character is filling the safe role of doctor.
I could still add more in time though, these are just the ones that will be notable near the start. In case it isn't obvious yet, the mechanic guy is going to inevitably want to repair some warthogs (how is the group ever going to cover ground if they don't have something to carry large amounts of supplies in?).

When will the thing really start
Re: Interactive Zombie Machinima - Sign Up/Character Creation
Updated the OP with two announcements. Will be able to start the game very soon, by Monday, unless you guys decide you want it to have voice acting.
EDIT: Also, the game needs a proper name. Anybody got any good suggestions? Try to base them off the situation and premise, for example, "Crashlanded" or something. Remember, I haven't revealed zombies yet, even though I've made it fairly clear the game will focus on them.

I'm going to be acting out the scenes in the game based off the participants responses and then filming and editing them into a machinima. So no, you don't have to have the game to participate.

Yeah, I had figured "Mercenary" would be a common archetype. I guess more people wish they were "badass" or something. Need to remember that they're in a group with these other people, so having a unique skill (i.e. being a doctor or mechanic) will be an advantage for them. Aside from that, they don't have to be someone with a military history to use a weapon. If there's going to be zombies, obviously anyone capable of holding one is getting whatever gun they'd like.
I might just give them the option of either changing their backstory to something other than mercenary, but I think it might be a better idea to just have all the mercenary types in one group, say they're maybe all on the same team, and then come up with a team backstory.

Re: Interactive Zombie Machinima - Sign Up/Character Creation
I didn't mean you guys had to change your backgrounds, I just figured since there were so many mercenary types, they could all be from the same mercenary group, instead of having one member from several different mercenary groups. That way, you can still be mercenaries, but now you'd have a reason to be friendly with each other and work together better.
