LaZardo
From Survival Of The Fittest
LaZardo (real name: Francis Santos-Viola) is a very new member of the SOTF threads but brings with him a substantial amount of experience in the online roleplaying field. Of course, he has yet to write single posts that crush the screen and pump the stomach with the intensity of the veterans in SOTF. He also brings about an almost narrow, obsessive interest in Battle Royale similar to his interests in Grand Theft Auto, Resident Evil and Pokémon (of all things, his username comes from an anthro fan-character from Pokémon which has since developed into its own unique species), but that may be a result of his mental condition - Asperger's Syndrome. Regardless, he has found SOTF a new if not visually morbid mode of catharsis.
"LaZ" was born on 19 July 1987, and based on his observations is actually older than most people on SOTF. He sometimes finds it disturbing that many of the forum members are not even old enough to legally rent the BR movies on DVD. He has seen the first BR movie, does not intend to see the second one, has read Volumes 1 and half of 2 of the manga, and wants to read the novel.
As of October 2006 he has four characters in the v2 pregame. According to him, his flagship character Damien Carter-Madison is an exaggerated caricature of his experiences in the ritzy private school he attended when he was young, while Damien's tormentors Reneé and Marvin are based on the people he believes "made it happen." Zed Foreman, a new fourth character and currently independent of the Damien/Reneé-clique canon, is a carryover in appearance only from a webcomic that he used to run, which is currently in hiatus. All of his characters with the exception of Reneé are slated to participate in the v2 pregame, and he does not have very high expectations for their success (even adding that no matter the outcome, he expects Damien to die "crying and whimpering.")
The only comment Laz will give on his characters' weapons cache so far is "Poor bastid [sic]."
Laz currently studies in the College of Saint Benilde in the Philippines, accessing the SOTF forums in his spare time.
