    The Aftermath Chronicles (OOC)

    THIS RP CURRENTLY HAS NO OPEN PLAYER SLOTS.

    WE HAVE STARTED. Open slots may be filled mid-RP and this is quite alright, as the versatility of this RP will allow as such.

    Here's the intro to The Aftermath Chronicles:
    The year is currently 112 P.F. (Post-Fallout). The planet of Drae is broken. Charred. Ashen. It used to thrive, full of luscious beauty. Thick forests, high mountains, and running streams as well as sprawling cities and villages once populated this planet... But nobody remembers those days anymore. They disappeared along with most life on Drae when The War began. The Districts began to fight over petty things like territory or resources. This escalated so quickly, nobody had the time to think twice. Soon, The Factions that controlled The Districts began to war with each other, which led The Nations to collapse internally. War ravaged the land, and crazy nuclear activists began to rise to power. Eventually, one of them unleashed a bomb. One bomb. And the world went to hell.
    The Nations all began launching bombs at each other. Not just any bombs, but nuclear bombs. This period of time is known as The Blast. The Blast explosions had ravaged over 50% of the world's population by themselves. The radiation that followed decimated approximately another 20%. The last of the populace, The Survivors, withdrew. There was no longer any sort of government or authority. This period was known as The Hiding. Nobody came out. Nobody came in. Food began to run out, so some Survivors began The Colonies. These tiny villages were where Survivors came together, trying to shine a light in the darkness and help each other. Some Survivors were not so kind. They became known as The Raiders. The Raiders decided to create small, portable camps, and roam the continents, pillaging innocent travelers and villagers of their goods, or worse. Some people began to develop what are known as "changes," or "mutations." These mutations come from the exposure to the strange mixes of radiation. Some people's mutations may change their appearance, for better or for worse. Some may cause only harmful problems like tumors, insanity, or degeneration. Some people and animals mutated so greatly that they became new species entirely, some hostile, some peaceful. But some mutations cause extraordinary feats. These feats include such things as limb regeneration, sharpened senses, or extra muscle mass all the way to elongated life periods or more. However, every mutation causes an equal weakness.

    You are born into this world. This near-lifeless planet, once beautiful but now so ugly. You are in the Colony of Nexus on the east coast. You may have been born here, you may have moved here after something happened in your village, or you may be just a roaming traveler recovering with a few days' rest at the Inn. There are not many people here, and there is not much in the way of consumables or armaments. Most people who live here are Scavengers, making their living off of what they can find outside the Colony. Most of the world has yet to be explored, and people who venture far enough sometimes return quite prosperous... But none here have the courage. You have nothing of importance but the clothes on your back, a memorabilia item, a travel bag (backpack, satchel, etc.), and a simple weapon (a small blade, your fists, or a blunt weapon such as a worn-out baseball bat).

    You find yourself in the Tavern, getting something to drink, socializing with the locals, or just trying to push away your boredom. There are only a handful of people in the Tavern, and most of them are keeping to themselves. Some of these people seem or look different than the standard civilians, but there's always people like that somewhere. Currently, you are traveling or living by yourself.

    And this is where the story will begin...

    Rules for mutation:
    A mutation is NOT required.
    Your mutation may or may not change your appearance.
    Your mutation may change your appearance but not affect your personality or skills.
    Your mutation MUST leave a weakness if it gives you a strength.
    Your mutation may NOT make you invincible/immortal/god-like/etc.

    Starting equipment consists of your current clothing (which should be described in appearance), a backpack or a satchel, a simple weapon such as a small blade or a small blunt weapon, and an OPTIONAL memorabilia item. Please do not make yourself OP in any way. :P

    Your Character Sheet should be formatted as follows:

    I would like to take the time here to say this.I like RPs that are open. Where the player gets more choice as to what he/she can do. That being said, I also like to make RPs that leave some form of a challenge. So when we get into some form of battle, I will describe the band of enemies. I will not, however, choose who gets which enemy. That is up to the players, and I believe we are all mature enough to co-operate and co-ordinate in such situtations. If not, I will have to tighten down on this RP, which I REALLY do not want to do.
    In tougher battles, I expect someone to get hurt. This may apply to EVERYBODY or it may apply to only one person in a battle. As I am the GM, I will be controlling the enemies' decisions, so there should be no confusion. If you complain about your injury, it will become infected. If you continue complaining, it will turn into a raging hideous infection that will kill you.

    ALSO, please do not act ridiculous when it comes to action. For example:
    "(Insert large, strong monster here. Obviously some sort of boss):
    Animal is attacking (let's use my player as an example), Shade.
    etc etc.
    Animal swipes furiously at Shade,
    Shade nimbly avoids the attack and then punches animal in ribs.
    Animal dies.

    All you will get from me is an OOC comment telling everyone to skip over your post.
    I do, however, expect such attacks in something like a petty bar fight, since we are all supposed to be fucking awesome people.

    All of the above applies to my character as well. Please inform me if you see any of the above behavior from ANYONE.

    I say we rob from the rich and blow down the door,
    On to the next to dance with the poor.

    It's not supposed to be easy.
    That's why it feels so good.

    My character sheet is as follows.

    Name/Nickname: Shade

    Gender: Female

    Age: 23

    Appearance (May include a picture, but please describe yourself): Shade stands at a height of 5' 3" with a slim body build and pale skin. Her hair hangs long and straight just past her shoulders, jet black with two horizontal violet stripes on the right side. She occasionally wears a black hoodie with two cat-ears stitched into the top of the hood. Her eyes seem to almost glow in the dark, as if they're refracting the light. Naturally, her eyes are a deep shade of violet. In areas of bright to medium light levels, her pupils become a slit, like a cat's. In lower light levels, they expand to full circles. A pair of black sunglasses sit atop her head, and she has to wear them during the day or in bright light. She has a necklace on, but it's tucked into her dark grey long-sleeve shirt. She wears what seems like black BDUs, but they aren't nearly as baggy. She has a pair of black combat boots, the buckles strapped tight. Her hands are garbed in black, fingerless gloves. Her nails are clean and well kept. She has a gentle face, and when she smiles, you can see the hint of what look like fangs.

    Personality: Shade is withdrawn from others, and she does not tend to speak much until she has made good friends with someone. She is very suspicious of people, but longs for someone to be able to trust. She is caring, sweet, and loving. She prefers to stick to the shadows and avoids light as best she can. Although she is extremely stealthy and cunning, she is honest and refuses to steal from those who can not afford the loss. She will, however, often rob thieves or other people who she believes deserve to be stolen from. She enjoys living things like flowers or animals, but because they are so rare to find she constantly searches for them and becomes very excited upon discovery of one. Otherwise, she does not show much emotion to those who she does not know well enough. Once you get to know her a bit more, she is a very loving and sweet girl.

    Mutation (if any): Shade's mutation allows her eyes to refract light much like a cats, and can even see in a way similar to how an infrared camera allows night-vision. She also has increased hearing capabilities.

    Mutation Strengths (if any): Shade's eyes allow her to see in complete darkness. She can hear minute sounds from farther away than most humans, but it's not a big change.

    Mutation Weaknesses (REQUIRED if you have mutation strengths): Shade has to wear eye protection in areas of bright to medium light levels or her eyes will burn and she must close them or go blind. She is also more sensitive to loud noise than most people.

    Special Skills/Specializations: Shade's life in the shadows has taught her to become increasingly stealthy. She can walk without making nearly any sound at all (depending on the terrain), and can easily remain hidden. She is a great scout, and can even be handy if assassination is required in a situation. She is light and quick, and can move across areas in a parkour-ish way, vaulting over rails and climbing up structures. (She doesn't do stupid lame flips or 360s. Just basic stuff).

    Minor Skills/Specializations: Shade can keep a close eye on things, and can warn of danger long before it happens. Her life of constantly examining people has led her to become very adept at figuring out people's intents or emotions.

    General Weaknesses: Shade is not good at communicating with people. Shade will lose most fights if she faces her opponent head-on (if they have some form of fighting experience or training), and prefers to instead run away from such altercations. She is no good at trades such as weapon-making or farming, preferring to steal or buy what she needs.

    Bio/Background: Shade was born and raised in Nexus. She lives here, but is not seen very often. She often goes out and steals from nearby Raider camps to supply herself and (secretly) those who can not help themselves. Many a night, one of the poor, lonely villagers may wake up to find a bit of food or medicine on their nightstand. She has no family or friends, as everyone in Nexus sees her as an estranged, deluded freak. She has lived this way for many a years, and dreams of going out and moving on, but she knows she wouldn't be able to make it by herself. She is very conflicted with her life right now.

    Starting Equipment: Shade carries a small, black backpack that looks like it could only hold the barest of necessities. She has a pair of dark black sunglasses, a necklace tucked into her shirt, and a small combat knife in a sheath that has been duct-taped to her right thigh.

    Other Side-notes: N/A

    Name/Nickname: William Overbeck
    Gender: male
    Age: unknown presumed 50+
    Appearance: He is 5' 5". He wears an old war beret and jacket from long ago. He also wears cargo trousers with a holster for a pistol wrapped around it (no pistol).
    Personality: He is smart and effective in combat even with his old age. He would sacrifice himself for his friends or the ones he calls his family. He is rather out with things but not in the cocky sense in the way that he is more of a leader. He would tell you if something was wrong with what you were about to do but would accept the same thing for his plans. He is friendly to people he believes have a good heart but serious with others.
    Mutation: None
    Mutation Strengths: None
    Mutation Weaknesses: None
    Special Skills/Specializations: Good with guns, can heal someone with limited equipment. He can hear things most others can't like the padding of a dog on grass despite the stereotypes about his old age. He can use disguises and make up to make someone blend in with an environment.
    Minor Skills/Specializations: He has a knack for pretending to be a stereotypical old man and then striking when the time is right.
    General Weaknesses: No matter how much he repents stereotypes sometimes he does get the occasional sore back. He also get's out of breath quicker than most when running.
    Bio/Background: William was born long ago and fought in a war with another country. The war was savage and ruthless, civilians were killed on both sides. But William refused to kill innocent people and helped them even if they were the enemy. He was brought up to a military background both his mother and father fought in the military and they raised him as such. Teaching him to hide if necessary and to disguise himself. They also taught him how to heal himself or someone else with limited supplies found in the wild or just found. He joined the military as a young lad it was there he met his best friend and wife. They had fought together and eventually got to know each other. They got married after a while and then, went back to fighting in a war. But nothing good can come of war, Williams wife was in a helicopter that was shot down on an undercover raid on an enemy base. He recovered her dog tags and still wears his and hers to this day. He never got over the death of his wife. He became a drunk after that always reminiscing about the war and talking to various barmen before getting to where he is now.
    Starting Equipment: A rather large machete, a small pack on the side of his leg to carry equipment, dog tags worn around his neck and some cigarettes in his pockets along with a lighter.

    Sweet Sheet. Your bio is fine but I guess I forgot to mention this earlier: There are no running modes of transportation (i.e. helicopters). You can leave it in there and pretend the war was soon after The Blast/The Hiding, you know what I'm saying?

    And I mean, I'm not gonna lie, those things are fun ON THE OCCASION, but sometimes I just want something a bit more realistic and requires thought, ya know? XD
