that's fine, but Lawrence wears a gas mask outside the Statue

Sanctus you are accepted

I have another character on the way (do you have a limit?) but that will have to wait until tomorrow or Wednesday. I just need to find a picture for Tia but she is done.

Name: Tia
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Nomadic or sedentary: Nomadic
Weapons(A reasonable amount: 1-3 though some are probably more scarce than others): Collapsible stun gun baton (built by Tia), small dagger
Skills: A knack for inventions and repairing anything electronic or mechanical, reading and writing
Any unusual traits? Does it show physically?: Tia is able to see in the dark. Since this change her eyes are now a light grey color and on the rare occasion that it is sunny, it is painful for her.
Appearance:

Being short and skinny Tia usually claims that she is five feet tall although she is an inch shorter than she claims to be which can be a sore topic for her even though she still has a bit more time to grow taller. She has grey eyes and likes to keep her hair short. Her clothing choice is usually comfortable and practical with her only accessory being a necklace with her father's wedding ring on it.

Brief Personality: Friendliness comes easy to Tia but gaining her trust is rarely done. She is cunning, selfish and doesn't hesitate to lie to keep herself safe. She avoids fighting both physically and argumentatively but will lash out if backed into a corner as a last resort. She knows she is at a disadvantage due to her age and size and will often use that to her advantage to appear nonthreatening or gain sympathy and protection from those who still are capable of showing it.

Background(Please reveal your current location): All Tia knows of the world is the aftermath of the war with her earliest memories revolving around the small university that both her parents were a professor of before the collapse of humanity. She was the youngest child of three with her twin brothers being ten years older than her. The university was shut down early in the war after the first bomb landed on US soil and while most students and faculty left for safety or to find family, a small group of around fifteen remained on the campus. Tia was raised within this tight knit group which to her became family which quickly closed itself off to the rest of the world for the sake of survival. Compared to most children her age she was sheltered from the horrors of the decaying world and was brought up learning a lot about technology, engineering and anything else the bored scholars could shove into her brain. However the period of peace Tia grew up in didn't last forever. It is unknown what illness ran rampant within the confines of the university but it killed off three people and left many weak and vulnerable. This was when the Wolves discovered the University and the people within. Due to the quick thinking of one of her brothers, the two were able to hide but were left with no way of helping their family and friends as they listened to them being tortured and killed.

The university wasn't safe anymore and the two were forced to set out into the world and find a way to survive. Knowledge that the two gain was helpful but it didn't make up for the skills and experience they missed out. They've ran into a few dangerous groups of people along the way and learned the hard way that trusting people is dangerous which cost Tia's brother his life. It has been a year since her home was taken from her, six months since her brother was killed. She recently reached the New York city area amd is still learning the area.

Alone or with someone?: Alone (Unless someone wants to already meet up with Tia before the start of the roleplay)

Other: She has very little combat skills but makes up for this with the knowledge she has gained. However if there is ever a point someone could teach her to defend herself, there is a need for that.

Great as always! Accepted. No limit.

Name: Aaron

Age: 42

Gender: Male

Nomadic or sedentary: Nomadic

Weapons:
A DRD Paratus semi-automatic rifle, complete with scope and bipod attachments. A metal baseball bat, well-worn. Always carries a molotov cocktail, and can produce more if he has the necessary supplies.
Skills: basic engineering, Chemistry, and trap design. Fairly skilled shot, but mostly untrained in melee. Knows the city quite well, and can move more quietly than most.

Any unusual traits? Does it show physically?:
Aaron's entire skin is pale and splotchy. It's highly sensitive to sunlight and pressure, and the top layer peels often. For this reason Aaron usually wears clothing that covers as much skin as possible. He can see better than humans in the dark but is nearly blind during the day, comparable to an owl. His hearing is far better than normal, allowing him to easily hear people moving even from a distance, and even track people by their heartbeat. His teeth are misshapen and sharp, making it difficult for him to speak without cutting his lips, and causing him discomfort when eating. His nose is flattened and broken, although this is a result of repeat injury rather than mutation. And unfortunate element of the mutation is the corruption of his lungs, which reduces his stamina and makes him prone to wheezing. It also means his breath can rattle if he isn't careful, and he can have coughing fits.

Appearance:
A figure wearing a gas mask, as well as thick leather and cloth coverings, usually coloured black or grey. Almost no skin is visible. He's of slightly above average height but usually moves in a crouched, hunched stance, rarely standing at full height. Were his face visible it would be a frightening sight indeed, with grey peeling skin pulled back to reveal hollow black eyes, thin lips barely covering long and oddly angled fangs. His hair is black, often meticulously cut and washed, so far as the apocalypse allows. His broken nose and habit of short, twitchy movements does nothing to humanise this monstrous appearance.

Brief Personality:
Aaron is incredibly shy about his mutations, and therefore often avoids human contact. He tells himself he prefers this state of isolation, but in truth he's a very socially oriented person, and craves attention. Sometimes he'll sneak into compounds just so he can listen to other people's conversations. He feels like he isn't 'proper' anymore. He's sad and on the whole not very violent, although he is prone to violent outbursts when angered (a difficult feat to achieve). Aaron quite likes animals, and likes reading, often scavenging the books that others leave behind. He's also a big fan of decoration, often using flowers, and tries (usually in vain) to keep his temporary lodgings clean.

Background(Please reveal your current location):
A soldier for most of his life, Aaron was expelled from the group he had been living with when his mutations became more apparent. These people believed that such mutations were infectious, and none wanted to end up looking like Aaron. This was when he became a Nomad, wandering the world in solitude. Most recently he's found himself in New York, where he's stayed for a while, although moving from area to area. The sheer size of the city means there are areas that haven't been scavenged yet. Often camps that ran afoul of the wildlife that pushes ever deeper into the city.

Great! Accepted

@chukklehed
Practicality and fashion, rolled into one!

@thewizardguy

absolutely. They keep your face secret, they keep your lungs poison free, your eyes dust free, AND who ever heard of a Postapocalyptia without gasmasks?

@Penguin Hi, I'm working on my character(s) because this seems really interesting. I have one mostly done, but for the other, I was wondering how long the Wolves have been in existence (in their current form)?

I'm thinking that they have been around for a few years (3 max) and only recently they became notorious.

@Potter@Penguin
Are you guys going to start a discord server for this or anything? It might help and it would give us all something to do while we wait.

Haha probably not. I'm not much into discord but I can make a chat room of sorts if it interests you. I'll start the IC probably tomorrow so you won't have too long a wait.

Yay! I'm excited to start.

Would Skype work? I have a few groups on there so it would work well for me.

Skype is fine with me but I can just whip up a chatzy link so everyone has easy access

@Penguin

Either seems useful, although it seems like Discord would be the easiest.

Okay if everyone wants a discord I'll make one :)

Could you put a tad more work into your personality? Just a head's up if when you create your IC posts, it would be appreciated if you could grammar check. If you need help with that, I'm here. :) Great job so far though. You're accepted

@Penguin
I find the extension Grammarly for Chrome to be exceptionally helpful for making sure all my junk is in the right tense and what not. I'm pretty good generally but it definitely double checks you. All of us make mistakes sometimes. I'm sure there's one available for FireFox too.
