PHYSICAL APPEARANCE - A man in his early forties, tall and thin. His hair is just beginning to show signs of salt and pepper brought on by age though his eyes are alight with the curiosity and enthusiasm of youth. Being a man out of time (not that he was particularly interested in fashion in his own era) Robert Oppenheimer is wrapped is a rather drab suit chosen more for it's utility than any kind of asthetic considerations.
Slung over his shoulder is a light brown, canvas messenger bag, presumably stuffed with supplies and in his hand a sharpened fire axe.
MENTAL STATE - After acclimating to life in Malton Rob Oppenheimer’s mind immediately returned to scientific research. While his past experience had been as a theoretical physicist the conundrum of the unique human/zombie life cycle in Malton quickly garnered his attention. With some preliminary study into the transformation of human to zombie via the catalyst of death and then the subsequent revitalization brought about by injections of Nectrotech's revivication serum Dr. Oppenheimer came to the conclusion that it is possible for the survivors of Malton to wipe out the disease that is undeath. Unfortunately the conditions to achieve such a goal bordered on the impossible.
Too much of Malton's living population find themselves content to flounder about, sleeping in malls or partaking in unearned revelry in local drinking establishments while entire suburbs of their city burn. Always one to stretch for unreachable goals, Rob Oppenheimer then made the decision to do his part in preparing the survivors of Malton for battle, to wake them up from their complacent slumber. The primary variable factoring this violent and bloody process of experimentation was that death, in Malton, is above all temporary. Maybe by helping to expose the weakness of other survivors they will learn, develop new strategies and be more alert and in that new state find themselves more capable of defending and eventually taking Malton back from the undead.
While this course of action may seem drastic Julius Robert Oppenheimer has never been a man averse to getting his hands dirty. If the cost of survivor victory is that he is labeled a killer and pariah then so be it.
