-double post-

Is that Charizard blindfolded?

And if you guys want to make a character for Cypher's group then sure! I wouldn't mind :] He wouldn't feel so alone anymore lol.

Will probably make some very small bios for the NPCs in Cypher's group so you guys don't get too confused when they're mentioned.

I've been thinking

where the hell does the city get enough food to feed all of its people

so I thought that maybe Omar, Isam's friend mentioned in my very first post, could be something of an agriculturist.

Maybe Isam's group managed to keep a few goats or chickens or whatever alive by the time they got to the city, and had bred enough to make a nice little farm back there in their corner

Plus whatever animals are running around, deer and such, could probably be domesticated

Just a thought

:.Born As.:
Eliza Leeuwen

:.Also Known As.:
Elle, although usually only her brother calls her that.

:.Appear To Be.:
19

:.The Doctor Said.:
"She's a girl alright"

:.I Swing Towards.:
-Uncertain.

:.A Glorious Gift.:
Pheromone Manipulation - Eliza has semi-control over her pheromones, a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species, of oneself, and others, including releasing pheromones that induce attraction between subjects (or within a subject for oneself), to exuding pheromones strong enough to induce sleep, change emotions and draw crowds. Her pheromones are usually released from her body as scents or fragrances. Eliza's pheromones may induce a pleasure, or may put subjects into a state of high suggestibility (either of which is useful for limited mind control). Other uses of these pheromones can be used to mark territory (causing people to feel the compulsion to not go into a certain area), or to leave a pheromone path which others can follow. Her pheromones may even increase stamina, give someone a boost of adrenaline, slightly stimulate the healing process or (used offensively) cause foes to become disoriented, violent or extremely sick. When her emotions are unstable and she is feeling a particularly heavy emotion, she may accidentally secrete pheromones that cause those around her to mirror her own feelings. She can however, dissipate her pheromones at will by calming down and gaining control of her emotions. She isn't very fond of taking away someone's free will though, so she only uses her ability if necessary.

:.The Proud.:
Metahuman (Same thing as Blessed Ones, except people in Cypher's group with abilities are referred to as Metahumans it seems)

:.People Say.:
Eliza is a nature lover and a feminist, who finds solace in mother earth and encourages ideals that favor men and women equality. While she isn't particularly boisterous, she is incredibly emotional indiviual, who isn't shy when it comes to being honest about how she is feeling and will convey her feelings and activist like endeavors as articulately as she can and as passionately as she can. She despises how the earth is and wishes to restore it back to how it was centuries before she was even born. She enjoys the company of others, but doesn't mind being alone, and dislikes when others perpetuate unnecessary drama and conflict. She enjoys the simple life and being one with nature and caring for it and for the animals that reside within it. Eliza is a spiritual individual as well and a passionate deep thinker, who connects with many "entities" for enlightenment and encouragement and enjoys soothing practices that allow her to fully commune with her mind, body, and soul. She enjoys activities such as bird watching, singing, taking care of plants, and doing yoga.

:.The Past Was.:
Eliza, her older brother, and her father lived in a small settlement somewhere near Cape Town, South Africa, having moved there after her mother died of a Dead bite and became one herself. The settlement was made up of 80-100 people, but it was relatively comfy and being near the coast, they were able to cultivate their own aqua-farms and pillage for fish from the abundant water sources. It was also during this time that her ability manifested, although, her father made her keep it secret in fear that her safety would be jeopardized by people wanting to use her for her ability to control others.

In actuality though, her father, desperate and semi-mad, only wanted to keep his daughters ability secret so he could use it for himself. Eliza's father pushed her to her limits, forcing her to subtley manipulate those who he deemed "his enemies".The over-use of her ability was causing her to fall into emotional instability and depression. Her father was in cohorts with a new settlement that had arrived nearby. He was selling her for extended periods of time to them, so they could also have her use her pheromones to manipulate their advaseries, and in exchange, they were giving him luxury goods such as liquor and wine.

On one particular night, Eliza's father, drunk and mindless, began forcing himself onto her. What at first was subtle, quickly escalated into violence. However, before her father could have his way with her, Eliza's overprotective older brother Geoffrey stepped in, his anger pumping up his adrenaline to skyrocketing numbers and during the moment, his own ability manifested, revealing that he was also a metahuman. He balled up his fist and swung forward towards his father's face, but only with the intentions of knocking him off Eliza. Unaware that he was a metahuman, his punch was so powerful that it literally blew out his father's face, instantly killing him.

Scared and frightened by what he had done, he took his sister and went on the run, taking one of the makeshift boats from off the dock and setting sail. It didn't matter where they ended up, they just had to get out of there. Months later, they washed up on the shore of the United States, exhausted and barely alive. Geoffrey had survived on his intense adrenaline and willpower to live, while Eliza survived by using her pheromones to put herself into an almost hibernative sleep like-state. They were found by a man known as Cypher, who brought them to his camp out of pity and since then, they have been loyal and eternally grateful to him. Although, sometimes, even they question his morals and humanity.

:.What You See.:


:.Behind The Scenes.:
N/A

:.Extra.:
Normally speaks with an Afrikaans accent, but knows how to speak with an American accent. So does her older brother Geoffrey.

Hey Exit, since Merman made a character in Cypher's group should we tell him about what we went over via PMs awhile back?

Good question, Metronome.
I was actually including this in with the backstories of the Paradise Lands and the breakdown of the surrounding area.

I wanna say that the inside of Paradise Land's is covered in vegetation. There's green and foliage growing all around.

This was poorly planned, I do apologize to everybody but when I first pictured Paradise Lands, I called it New Edens.
It was waaaay different than everybody has kind of made it out to be.

When I first thought about it, I wanted PL/NE to be in the middle of the desert, the Red Waste stretching out all about it.

The first Mother (Mother of Water) had a knack of pulling water out of the air, she also could hear natural bodies of water calling to her. She found a natural underground oasis, untouched by the radiation of the wars. It was there that Paradise Lands first start. From the ground up they created a civilization. Families from all over flocked to the Lands, seeking peace and shelter. A well renowned family in the Lands built the walls up, standing over fifty feet high; they created them out of marble with veins of steel and ore running all through out. They were the ones who raised the gates of heavy steel, they stood almost twenty feet high. This family were known as the Iron-Root's. They were the keepers of the Gates.

The winged protectors manned the walls, fierce some warriors who dove into battle to deter enemies and threats to their walls. They were skilled with bows and were known for descending upon the enemies, flying them high above and dropping them to their deaths. Over the years, their ferocity in battle slowly thinned out their clan, leaving only a few left. They were known as the Light-Feathers.

A family of fierce fire controllers manned the boilers, providing warmth and light to the Paradise Lands. This family was the Blackburns.

The people have built their homes up into the walls, stacking house on top of each other, accessible by high stairs that go nearly to the tops of the walls. Growing down in the middle and all about the Lands is vegetation and crops. An irrigation system of water runs through parts of Paradise Lands. There were bathing areas created underground, separated obviously, to be natural springs, the dirty water filtered out to become part of what feeds the crops. (<Hey, there's gotta be a little grime in this beautiful society)

Wow. Love the descriptions Chesire. We've kinda made it out to be an abandoned city almost, but the way you say it...doesn't sound like too bad of a place to live in a Dead infested world. BTW, is Eliza accepted?

Awesome, Cheshire, but uh... Could someone give Marcus something to do? It's been two days since I last posted and nobody has really talked to or done anything with Marcus. If his character was different, I'd post as soon as I can to make him do something, but I can't.

Yes! I've been wanting Marcus to do something for a long time. Marcus can probably fly by riding on a large piece of metal right? Maybe Marcus and one of the harpies can fly across the Red Waste in search of where the horde originated or where the Russian or Children might have come from? The journey might uncover important clues to the whole thing. Just a thought. lol

Yes she is.

And Marcus doesn't have to mqn the walls.
Make him come in.

Also, I think marcus should be able to turn his skin and bones and muscles into metal so he can wreck havok. Also, a contraption should be made so everyone can open the gate if marcus isnt there.

Uh Pyro, the dead did just show up at the walls. Jacob is taking pot shots at them right now, and without support he may have to go down there himself to deal with it. He wouldn't mind some help.
