Story
"We always assumed that we would destroy ourselves. That we would enter a nuclear war, and be destroyed by the very things we created. We were wrong. On June 6, 2060 a meteor the size of Asia entered our satellites scan range. We were simply amazed by its sheer size, it was unlike anything we've ever seen. Little did we know this cosmic miracle would be the key to our downfall. Shortly after we discovered this hunk of rock, we figured out that it was on a collision course with earth. It was like something out of a movie. So we had a team of scientist concoct what would be the best course of action. Several choices were brought up, but the one we chose was the easiest. We decided to nuke it. Everyone was on board for it, and so preparations were made without delay. Little did we know that it was already to late. The nuclear warhead nicknamed "Reaper" was launched, and everyone had their fingers crossed. The world was in a complete silence, glued to there radios and televisions. At 1600 hours, roughly 4:00 eastern time, "Reaper" collided with the meteor. There was a huge explosion, and all seemed to go well. Suddenly fragments of the meteor continued to head towards earth. All over the world there was panic. An estimated 12 meteors hit this little blue planet, and almost all life was exterminated. 69% of the human race was eradicated and the world was throne into darkness....

But all was not lost. There were survivors amongst all the dead. Only a handful of humans compared to the billions that inhabited the planet before the meteor strike. But that is not where our story ends. Something else was "born" in this chaos. We call them sin-spawn. Something was alive on that meteor, and now its infected every animal, every plant, every human it could. Now it plans to destroy and infect whats left, what had survived. But there is hope. Whatever was this planet, had infected a special few. A few humans that were immune to its deadly effects. They were gifted with "powers". Many believe this small group to be the saviors of this planet, and believe they will lead them to the promised land. Others believe they are no different from the sin-spawn and shun them. They walk among us, living, breathing. surviving just like us. They are....." the recording ends there.

Setting
Hopefully this rp will go on long enough to get around a little, but we start off in the ruined city of Massiac. The biggest city in the US before the meteors hit. There was 3 ways to get out. Two highway roads on either side of the huge city, and a bridge across Massiac river. The bridge is destroyed now.


Rules
1. No god modding. Yeah, your not almighty SS10 goku or whatever. You've actually dropped a few notches on the food chain, so don't go around annihilating everything.

2. No bunnying. No controlling other people's characters without their permission.

3. No killing other people's characters without their permission.

4. No cybers in the IC. Take it too the Pm's. Romance is allowed though.

6. This is post apocalyptic so the world is all destroyed and stuff. Most of the water is containmenated. The flora and fauna are mutated, and most buildings are destroyed. Almost all electronics are fried. And you're not going to simply find an ak-47 lying in the middle of the street.

7. Grammer please. And no one liners or short post. I hear they are the leading cause of rp deaths in this country.

Appearance: - The rat, whose name is, strangely enough, Mortimer, survives in the remains of sewers, trash heaps, and other places of rot and chaos.

He is like a normal rat, but four feet high on all fours, and seven on hind legs, which he can stay on for an extended period of time, at the price of full mobility. The normally pinkish skin around the tail and feet is now an oily black, and there are many small scars dotting his fur. Mortimer's claws and fangs are blood red, same with his pupiless eyes.

Other: - The newest addition to her family she picked up along the road after the shower, a dog she silently dubbed Brier.






This is really really random, but when I was looking for a roleplay character I found this image on my computer and it's kind of apocolypto-inspiration in my opinion. It makes my head run anyway so I thought I'd share the image -



Sorry for the ultimate amount of pictures.

Human with powers:
Name:Molly Anita Black
Age: 15 (and a half, that's a big issue to her)
Gender:Female
appearance:
Power:Some limited telepathic ability and above human strenght (we aren't talking superman here, think about twice as strong as a normal human. Can lift about 300lbs)
Bio:Molly was born in California but her parents drug her all over the planet. Not that Molly complained, she had a vivcious curiosity and drank in everything she could learn. The only bad thing about the travel was that Molly was never in one place long enough to make friends. Her parents tried to keep her in public school but gave up once she entered third grade. Ever since, Molly has been home schooled. Perhaps because of her slight isolation, the young teen almost never shuts up. Half of the time she annoys herself with her own babble. Though she's talkative, Molly is a deep fifteen year old and cares alot about pretty much everyone.
Other: She always wears her pink hat or has it tied around her neck. A deep discoloring in one of her eyes sets her apart physically, one is light blue but the other is a deep shapphire.

Name:Jason Kasanth

Age: 19

Gender:Male



Power: His Wings
-Although his wings cannot yet lift him into the air (he doesn't have hallow bones and the process of degeneration is slow moving and ultimately killing him), his wings are made of a strange white metal. This metal gives him some defense against incoming attacks and can extend accordingly.

Bio: Jason grew up in a science lab beneath a small suburban housing development. His parents birthed him, specifically for genetic engineering and had a tendency to not really see him as human at all. For most of his life he spent time in a large plexi-glass room, subjected to tests, both physical and mental. Of course he was home-schooled and had never seen any people outside of the media and his parents. He was in a box when all the chaos went down. His parents were killed, and he was left to starve. When he finally escaped his prison, everything had changed. However since he did not know what the world before the meteors was like he did not know if this was how it should be. So like any curious, dying teenager, he set off to find somebody who could update him on major historical events.

During his search he became infatuated with all the strange creatures and began to try and interact with them only to be attacked. He was most certain his search was futile before he was led to a small group of people who looked to be sane. Looks could be deceiving, while they were survivors, they were definitely not sane. We begin the rest of his story where he is lying on the edge of a river, bleeding but waiting for the wounds to coagulate.

:::::

<If I can make another character then let me introduce my sin-spawn.>

Spokes (Instead of meowing he makes a sort of Sp-O moaning sound. A little girl who met him while traveling with her mom away from the city, named him Spokes)

Zombie Cat

Has poison in his claws that is a hyper-histimine capable of killing anybody allergic to cats in a matter of seconds. Jaws are strong enough to bite through brick, although he is not smart enough to realize this and sticks to soft food. Although he doesn't have a connection with other cats (he likes to eat them) he does have a connection with certain humans and has a tendency to follow them around.

Sin-spawn:

Name: Kizeratti; dubbed Kaizer in life by friends.

Type of beast: - Mutated human

Abilities: - Kaizer's appearance has changed drastically and so, too, have his abilities. The entirety of his left side has become plated in some sort of bone-like substance with the density of steel, making it immune to small arms fire, though his arm is long gone, atrophied away. The rest of his body has undergone a sort of hypergrowth, his legs becoming strong enough to send him soaring up to a hundred feet on his strongest pushes. His right arm has grown so sickeningly long that his hand drags the groud. It is also now as thick as a man's torso. The hand has grown exponentially, now so large that it's knuckles are the size of a normal man's fist, the hand large enough to close around someone's torso. His joints has also become elastic, meaning he can stretch that arm up to twenty five feet. While dangerous in its own right, it truly becomes detrimental when Kaizer's massive fingers split to reveal foot long, blade-like claws. When not using the arm, its sickeningly large knuckles drag the pavement as his giant feet plod along. His torso has thickened, becoming stronger with the rest of him, though his head has shrunken just a bit to make it less of a target. His eyes themselves are smaller but now far more acute, his hearing non-existant, yet his nostrils make up for that with a sense of smell to rival any bloodhound. His mouth is the only thing that has grown...his jaw can drop fully open far enough to engulf a human head, his now shark-like teeth enough to rend through bone quite easily. Ever hungry and always searching, Kaizer is a force to be reckoned with among Sin-spawn.

Appearance: - From a meek and small human, Kaizer has grown into a juggernaut. Seven feet tall and who knows how many pounds of pure, untainted fury, Kaizer's sole purpose in "life" now is to eat. To eat and to kill. With a head smaller than a normal human, yet a body far more massive, he is an odd sight, especially considering that his arm is so long and thick that it looks as if twins connected at the shoulder walk side by side with one dragging the ground. His hand is huge, the fingers each about as long as a normal human's forearm, his skin turned grey-black. Fully nude and still anatomically correct aside from the missing limb, Kaizer could be considered beautiful in a morbid...very morbid...sense of the word. His beauty is his ability to sow death and destruction. Legs so thick it would take a chainsaw to chop fully through and an arm so strong that a single swipe could pulverize bones...such beautiful art to those who appreciate it. His teeth, his claws...he is the perfect specimen to someone. His bulky body is hard to fit into doorways, yet he can always make his own way by bulling through the wall if need be. His broad chest houses a heart that beats black now, the beast stalking those left alive. While not a general of any army, he would make an exceptional leader for his force. Despite the brutish appearance...he is still quite intelligent.

{I assume you can use a human, correct? If not, let me know and I'll rework all of that. My inspiration comes from my respect of both the Hunter and the Bandersnatch of Resident Evil fame. I think I made it my own, though...and sorry if that came off as a little creepy with the admiration of the art of death. Uhh...yea. I'm just a bit...odd.}

Does anyone have any idea how long it's going to be until this starts? I'm really excited for this one.

I am so sorry guys. When i first made this no one seemed interested and i forgot about it. I will put up the IC ASAP. ^_^. Also, everyone who signed up thus far is auto accepted.

edit: I just read over the sign ups and i have to say great job to everyone. I will be posting my character soon, and also introducing Sin and other sin spawn. Since there are very little humans i will make quite a few NPC's to keep the story moving. Pics will be added, and I'll think about giving them bios and what not.
