Cataclysm: The Capital



Washington D.C.
July 2nd, 2017
0800 hours


One moment we were all getting ready for Independence Day. Would have been two days from now, and we were all expecting fireworks and barbeques. Then this happened and now we have zombies and all sorts of other things running loose. Some say it was the result of military experiments. Others say that the Biblical apocalypse is upon us. Either way, things have gone to shit and it doesn't look like it's gonna get better any time soon.

Here we are at the Washington Monument. All around us, the city is being consumed in the ashes of fire and chaos, and we were supposed to be the last ones out of the city. The choppers left without us, and all we have is just barely two dozen of us stranded against the zeds and whatever else came along with them. And I fear that we also have our fellow man to face off against too. Within this rag-tag handful of survivors here too, it seems.

Me or we? I do not know the answer to this question, but I need to figure it out soon.

Name: Sergio "Serge" Bertolucci
Age: 38
Occupation: Journalist
Appearance/Clothing: Serge stands at about 5'6" and weighs about 177 pounds. Serge wears a leather jacket, t-shirt, denim jeans with a leather belt, a pistol holster he got off of a dead police officer (along with his gun), and a pair of dress shoes w/ socks. He also has a pair of sunglasses for when it's sunny out, which he's not wearing right now.
Equipment: Beretta 96FS, 2 spare 15-round magazines, 45 rounds of .40 S&W (15 in gun, 30 in spare magazines), switchblade, matchbook, pack of 17 cigarettes, lighter, smart phone (33% battery left), wallet w/ ID and $24 worth of cash, 4 pencils, notebook

From: Bradley Beach, New Jersey
Personality: Determined, good sense of direction and location, good memory, quick-witted, and quick to pick up and learn things | Sarcastic, cantankerous, impulsive, somewhat agoraphobic, and prone to anger
History: Born a second-generation Italian-American, Serge lived a fairly easy life for the most part. He had a good education, made friends, and graduated high school. He didn't pursue post-secondary education however, and instead spent the next 15 years working in various blue-collar jobs around the Eastern Seaboard. It was only 5 years ago that he picked up journalism, and it turns out that he was damn good at it. He'd stop at nothing to get only the most accurate and up-to-date information, even if it meant he had to break the law and cozy up with criminals.

However, that eventually got him into trouble with the law, and he was here in DC to make court appearances. Perhaps it wasn't all that bad that this whole clusterfucktastrophe happened, knowing how close he was to serving time behind bars.

Q: What made you want to join this RP?
A: It's summertime and I felt that RPing would allow me to get back into the hang of writing as well as help me make something out of my excess time. I'm also a total sucker for post-apocalyptic stuff, hence why I spawned this RP.
Q: What do you plan on doing with this character in this RP?
A: Expect someone who's going to be very hard to get to work in a group rather than on his own.
Q: Are you going to be a loner or be in a group?
A: Serge is gonna try and be a loner as much as he can, but I do want to see how I can make him function in a group. Or at least provide some dynamics and conflict as he finds himself stuck with other people.
Q: What are your thoughts on the other player characters in the RP?
A: I'm a bit worred about Amethyst being a bit of a Sue with lots of firepower, but we'll see how things go. V seems like she'll be the right kind of prick in the side of any groups she ends up in. I'm definitely interested in seeing Kenneth play out as a character too. Cat and Dog seem like an interesting pair of twins by far.

My Character Sheet




Name: Amethyst Kyung (Nickname: Ame - pronounced Amy)

Age: 28

Occupation: Tattoo Artist and Auto Shop Owner

Appearance/Clothing: (See above image). Ame is 5ft8 and weighs in at about 134 lbs. She is slim with a slight muscle tone.

Equipment:
On Her Body: .5.56mm Stoner 63 carbine, one mag in, 22 shots left. A belt holding a switchblade, Kahr K9 semi automatic pistol, two brass knuckles in her pocket to go on her hands. A watch and a cell phone with 0% current battery.
Backpack: Containing four 30 round mags for Stoner and a case of 50 K9 bullets. Lighter, bottle of rubbing alcohol, bandages, scissors, a crowbar, one 100% charged phone battery, flashlight and batteries, box of matches, a poncho, small first aide kit and a pair of gloves. Food consists of two full bottles of water, one half empty, a pack of various dried fruits, a pack of various nuts and raisins, a small single serving box of multigrain cereal and a small box of granola.

From: Chicago, IL

Personality: Ame is a caring person who likes to help people, but often tends to want to do things alone in fear of having to watch over others. She is sharp, a quick thinker and easily underestimated by her feminine appearance. Adaptable in tough situations and can sometimes come across as arrogant. She is good with cars, having worked with them her entire life in her dads auto shop. She loves to build and fix things and has slight bipolar tendancies.

History: Ame grew up in Chicago with her parents who were hard workers. Her mother owned a tattoo parlor and her dad owned an auto shop. Falling in love with both professions was only natural but her heart lies mainly with repairing cars. When she turned 18, her parents allowed her to work full time in both shops instead of going to college, and for some time, thats what she did. As a gift for her 28th birthday, Ame got a ticket to see an auto show in DC where all hell broke loose. Having no contact with her parents now, she worries about their safety in their old age and regrets leaving Chicago.

Q: What made you want to join this RP?
A: The last apocalipse RP I was in died just when it was getting good. I'm hoping this one wont end up the same way. If it does, I may just start one on my own.
Q: What do you plan on doing with this character in this RP?
A: I plan to express through her how I would react in such a situation as this. All of the emotions and such will be a direct reflection of what I would say or do in that situation.
Q: Are you going to be a loner or be in a group?
A: Perhaps at first, but after learning to trust everyone and seeing that they're capable and not dead weight, hopefully Ame will end up becoming more involved with things.
Q: What are your thoughts on the other player characters in the RP?
A: Well, since there is only one so far...I like him.

Shadowcatcher said Amethyst Kyung


Bit worried about this character being an overpowered Sue, but that's nothing an apocalypse can't sort out. I'll accept this, and I'll get started on the IC now.
