The Willow Family are refugees seeking a new home. They are basically decent hardworking people who are fleeing again from incessant fighting. They had a pretty decent little garden in their old home and would very much like to settle in a secure cantonment, where Susan would be very useful in raising the garden.

Robert Willow: Is an average looking 35 year old sporting a weeks beard. He was an electronics installer prewar. He is wearing hiking boots, blue jeans, an Army Woodland cammo jacket and a floppy wide brim hat and an old (1970) external frame back. He’s pushing a wheelbarrel and armed with a .357 revolver in hip holster, a hatchet and a hunting knife.

His wife Susan is a pretty woman, and trying to hide it. She’s wearing blue jeans, hiking boots, a black leather jacket, over a dark blue long sleeve mettaliica concert shirt and a beige sun hat. She is wearing a blue day pack with a blanket roll tied beneath. She’s carrying a shovel which she sometimes uses as a walking stick, and which shehas used to ‘spear a wild dog’ and a knife. She was an accountant and a hobbyist gardener prewar, but has become quite the green thumb.

They have two children Laurel is 16, and takes after her mother. Her hair is cut like a boys. She’s wearing tennis shoes, loose parachute pants, and a baggy sweatshirt. She’s carrying a hoe, and has a sling shot (which she has just recently learned to hunt birds and squirrels with) and a lockback buck knife, a large duffle bag/pack and a one gallon juice jug/canteen. Kimberly is 6 and has a small hello kitty backpack. They have two mid sized mutts with them. They are not particularly well trained, but stay close to the family and will give alarm by barking. They will attack (fairly ineffectively) anyone who threatens the family.

They are carrying their most valuable possessions and a days worth of food on their backs, with more food, and heavier stuff in the wheelbarrel. They have a 4 person dome tent, a waterpurifier pitcher, a hobo stove, a medium sized cast iron skillet, they have a cloth sack with 15# of apples, a gallon thermos jug with hot stew, 30# of potatoes, 3 jars of canned corn. Each person basically has one extra shirt/pants, a sweater or jacket and a couple extra pairs of socks...
