Wasteland (OOC)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby The Afterman on Thu Nov 12, 2009 6:46 pm

For IC: wasteland-t32621.html

The world is dead
Storyline: After the detonation of the Devastator bomb in 2012, 50 years later the world has been reduced to nothing but a wasteland. Food is scarce, people are dying, and water that hasn't been poisoned by radioactive fallout is hard to come by. Currency has been reduced to plastic coins called Credz, the value of the coin being printed on the front (1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500: past 10 is very hard to obtain), and resources have been almost all used up.
Gathering neccesities to survive isn't the only problem: bandits raid and kill many people daily, and mutant creatures attack the unaware traveler. It's hell on Earth around these parts. And only the strongest survive.

-General Info-
Towns:
Frontier City-supposedly a safe haven for all who wander here, supposedly larger than Duran Grand; never been found
West Wind Area-oasis supposedly located near Frontier City
Duran Grand-largest known city on Earth, center for trade (contains the Duran Grand prison)
Arka-city that has run amok, full of bandits and murderers
Fredriksberg-small farming community having little success with the farming
Raugh-A medium size city, many shops and bazzars
Hollow Eden-refuge for the weak and defenseless inspired by the legend of Frontier City; crawling with sickness
Jerison-small town
Xander-city
Kizer Villiage-villiage of traders and travelers
X/411-settlement area for the mutated
Ghedad-Temple of Buddhist monks
Sheldon Town-farming town having fair success
Ironforge-secret bandit-run underground prison for bounty hunters


Monsters:
The mutated-humans affected by fallout; sometimes lose sanity and begin to kill
Spitter-acid spitting snake-like creature
Repulsion-scaley wolf-like monster; poisonous foaming at the mouth
Ripper-red shelled monster with razor-sharp claws, cuts through metal like butter
Steel-4-legged monster made of steel; attacks by running into you
Gigante-giant monster; throws objects and slams hands to create shockwave
Inferno-skeleton that harnesses fire
Vampire-absorbs any form of energy to survive, claws to attack
Zombie-human turned zombie by radioactivity; can be docile; capable of speech
Cancer Inflictor-8 legged spider-like creature that emits smoke and gets it into human's lungs
Switchster-shape shifting monster, goes from bipedal to four-legged spikey beast
Seedling-poisonous living plant; kills in one bite; located in Hollow Forest
The Darkness-an unkillable demon (best tactic: RUN LIKE HELL!)
Yarp-braindead yeti-like creature, found in Snowglades
Siren-lure people to their deaths with their songs and devour them; found in Asura Desert
Screechers-flying pterodactyl-like creatures that can swallow humans whole; found in Ambient Mountains and Snowglades
Stranglers-living vines that choke living things and eat them; found in Hollow Forest
Poisanos-poison frogs that inject people with a virus that eats them alive from the inside; found in Hollow Forest
Zaggers-forest zombie; found in Hollow Forest
Dead Bones-walking skeletons that wield swords; found on Skeleton Bay


Land Areas:
Asura Desert-desert of many mirages, located west of Xander; contains Sirens
Snowglades-mountainous region covered in snow, located north of Duran Grand; contains Yarps and Screechers
Skeleton Bay-shorline of the ocean located south of Ghedad; many zombies live around here
Red Desert-desert so hot it makes people sweat blood, which the sand is stained with; located east of Kizer Villiage
Ambient Mountains-mountains located west of Sheldon Town; contains Screechers
Hollow Forest-forest area easy to get lost in located just south of Hollow Eden; contains Seedlings, Stranglers, Poisanos and Zaggers

"Yeah, but you say a lot of things -and how's that work? You're a bicycle."

I think I'll end up joining... some kind of wanderer... but I wanted to ask, did you have some kind of story, or is it more player driven.

-Character Sheet-
Name:Eponine
Age:19
Gender:Female
Ethnicity:Caucasian
Race: mutated
Appearance:Image She's a tall and skinny girl but the curves take away any sense of her being gawky or lanky. She has big hazel eyes that switch back and forth between green and brown depending on the light and dark chestnut hair (almost black).
Occupation:She's a soothsayer and...just about anything that requires stealth. Before the bomb detonated she was a spy undercover as a dog trainer. Eponine had a certain gift for animals and now she finds herself still working with them only now they're less fuzzy...and more deadly. She doesn't really mind it though. She's a girl who knows how to fight if things get rough though most people underestimate her because she's tall and skinny. Kinda gawky.
Bio: Eponine was born just outside of Arka but moved to Xander at the age of ten to learn how to become a spy. While she was away both of her parents were killed. She graduated three years before the bomb went off and worked her way up in the spy world.
Tools/weapons: Two katanas

Name: Malcolm Blitzkrieg
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Caucasian/German
Race: Human
Appearance: Image
Occupation: Mercenary
Bio: Born in the Duran Grand, the trade cnter of the world, he was part of the high class society. His parents were very rich and made up mos of the buisnesses that Duran Grand has. But for some reason, Malcolm didn't like this life of leizure. There was nothing special about people with alot of cash, they're just richer than most. Time and time again, he tried to leave Duran Grand and see the world that was outside of this urban cage. But each attempt failed in him being caught and dragged back to his family. After many attempts, he gave up and lived his life as a 1st class citizen. This is how it was, until he turned 18 and was able to make his own decisions. So he told his parents that he would leave to see the world he never got to see. His parents let him go, marked him as a lost cause and dropped him as a memeber of their family. So he left them with the clothes on his back and some things he decided to take and buy with his parents money, just to give them a good slap in the face. He explored most of the world, but soon found out that it would be easier to see the world and get money if he worked as a mercenary. So he went to the best place that could easily offer jobs for a merc, Arka. From then on, he stayed in Arka, but goes where ever he wants to when he's on a job, or when he just feels like exploring.
Tools/Weapons: A black high powered bolt action sniper rifle, a 9mm semi-automatic pistol, a combat knife, and a pair of night vision goggles that he was lucky to find, although they don't work all the time.
Sexual Orientation: Straight

Well, not exactly. Bounty hunters go after people with bountys on their heads, for whatever reason. Mercenarys basically tackle any job that becomes avalible to them.

But i said not exactly, so there could be some competition if i'm given a job to hunt someone down. Meh, whatever, we'll only be rivals if it comes to someone we're both hunting :).

Name: Angela "Raven" Murphy
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Caucasion
Race: Human
Appearance:
Image
Occupation: Outlaw, Former Mercenary,Expert Tracker
Bio:
Born in Arka, her mother died in childbirth and her father was killed when he pissed off some local thugs when she was four. She was taken in by a man claiming to be her uncle. This man was Deacon Evergreen, a man somewhat renown for his ruthlessness and professional effeciency. He was a former bounty hunter who became a mercenary. She was raised to take care of herself, but never turn down a decent job. Her line of work ranged from protection detail to the rich to occasional bounty hunting, etc. He gave her a new name, "Raven".
When she was 17, she learned that the man claiming to be her uncle actually killed her father for his money and took her in because he saw potential in training her. Upon learning this information, in a fit of rage, Angela shot and killed Deacon, earning something of a bounty on her head. Since then, she's been on the run, living a life of an outlaw. To make money, she earns some money by taking on mercenary jobs under her original name, "Angela", to avoid getting caught.
While she has been given a reputation as a bloodthirsty murderer who has butchered several people, this is mere propaganda spread by Deacon's former allies. In truth, he committed several acts of genocide, but to raise the bounty on her head, the credit was put on Angela's head. She's been given the nickname, "The Raven Nevermore", a play off some work of literature of the old world. Despite her "reputation", she's a pretty easy-going individual with a witty and charming personality, and a somewhat sarcastic sense of humor.
Tools/weapons: She two desert eagles and a bowie knife, but she's also skilled with hand-to-hand combat.
Sexual orientation: Straight
