Kyle Rogers, an ex-Spec-Ops soldier has been awoken from a very long cryostasis sleep by a young human woman, named Tori. In his sleep, the world has gone to hell and back. It is recovering from years of war and torment after a mysterious disease pushed the world into apocalypse. Kyle has amnesia but soon learns that he is the key for the survival of the human species, and that he is supposed to open a massive underground Cryostation which holds thousands of humans that can re-populate the world. But, it won’t be long before Kyle realizes there is more to this world than his mission and that the secrets of this world are more dangerous than the bacteria that caused “The Collapse” in the first place.

We wanted to let them community put their input into the game, so we decided to ask: what would you name the main character and how would he look?

Hey guys, Millan here, and we have a big update for you!  We are opening up a naming poll for anyone who is interested.  We will tally the names and then use it to pick one; the deadline for submissions is Friday the 23rd of September, the poll will be closed with the release of the update that week, and the winner will be announced the following Friday.  In addition to the character first and last name, your submission may include a number of your favorite armor choice out of the ones below, you just need to say "I vote for armor 3." or something like that. To submit your choices, please email them to: submit@leatharianstudios.com.

The main character as you may know him:
So, the main character, you may all know him as "that ex-GI that I will play in the game," but this is obviously not the name we will use, so we decided to give you guys the opportunity to vote for your favorite.  There are six armor choices to choose from as well, and you are welcome to give some slight modifications to your pick.  However, please note that this is not a contest but rather a way for you guys to simply give input, there is no winner and the main character may look completely different.

For the future:
Now, before I show the pictures, I would like to let you know what we will be up to soon.  First off, we are in the process of making a website and will release more details as they come.  Also, we are working on  more 3-D art, and coming along quite well, and we do have a few more concept pieces that are unreleased.

Here are the name choices, please pick a first and last name, and only one of each
First Names:
Kyle
Max
Ryan
Sam
Michael/Mike
Shaun
Steve/Steven

Last Names:
Bishop
Rogers
Chambers
Winters
Williams
Price
Fisher

Ditto for Ryan Chambers, I'd say armour 4 bearing in mind if you enhanced yourself with robotics, you wouldn't just fix yourself ;)

It also looks the most badass, and gives the most scope for having a helmet piece should the location or conditions require - the neck piece is a really good way of making air-tight helmets feasable compared to the other armour that feature less bulky neck pieces.

Just my thoughts
