Exploring the British RolePlay Dayz Server… had some interactions… some Admin chatter… and finally met up with Senor Pegleg.
Who is Pegleg?
Name: Reginald “PEGLEG” Hawthorne
Age: 56
Occupation: Retired British Army Tank Driver (now part-time zombie dodger)
Hometown: Somewhere in Suffolk, England (he’s vague about it, claims it’s “classified”)
Current Location: Alteria or Chernarus (because England got a bit too “lively”)
Backstory:
PEGLEG, or Peg to his mates (none of whom are still alive, mind you), was once the finest tank driver in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces, rumbling through conflicts with a thermos of tea and a devil-may-care grin. That was until 2025, when a perfectly normal military exercise (definitely not an alien invasion, stop asking) left him one leg lighter. The official report says it was a “training accident,” but Peg’s got a wild glint in his eye when he mutters about “glowing tentacles” and “bloody extraterrestrial bureaucracy.”
Peg keeps a photo of his old tank, Betsy, tucked in his vest. He claims she was the love of his life, but the way he eyes a good tin of beans suggests otherwise.
When the zombie apocalypse hit, Peg didn’t bat an eyelid. He strapped on his trusty wooden leg (carved from an oak tree he claims he felled with a single glare), grabbed his grandad’s WW2 Lee-Enfield, and hobbled his way to Alteria. Why Alteria? “Fewer aliens,” he says, though nobody’s quite sure what he’s on about.
Peg’s the sort of chap who’d offer you a biscuit while a zombie’s gnawing on his boot. Gruff, sarcastic, and fiercely protective of his squad, he’s got a heart of gold buried under a mountain of curses and tall tales. He’s convinced the zombies are “just aliens in disguise,” which makes him extra trigger-happy.
