[OOC] Devil's Runners

NOTIFICATION BOARD:

Recruiting is currently closed due to the large amount of Runners. It may be possible to join at a later date, but we aren't looking for new memebers right now.

This is probably important
Death is going to be a thing. Here's how you qualify.

• Do exceedingly stupid stunts in or out of character while ignoring warnings.
• The story is at a dramatic point and we've gotten your approval beforehand.
• You leave without reason or explanation for a long period of time. Maybe a week. Dunno yet.

Those that willingly offer a character up to the chopping block for the sake of drama will be given the type of death that they wish for, provided it works within the context. Those people are free to make a new character. All other deaths will be hilariously gruesome. Those people will have to give a good reason as to why they should be allowed to return.

Cannon fodder is always welcome, though.

Regards.

Extra Info #1

As for the creature legend. Here is a sum of all the most common enemies that you will be encountering during the RP. These are all non-boss enemies that will usualyl appear in hordes. But don't be fooled, they are all thought combatants to take down.

Contaminated Rats

As the name suggests these are simple rats that evolved into ferocious killing machines. There are many types of them, depending on where they originate from, but they are generally very agile, and are very hard to kill, as they won't stop attacking as long as they can move. What's worse is that they are occasionally found in groups of 6-8. Their teeth can pierce metal, so if you don't have to do otherwise, avoid their head. Just like any other creature it is best if you keep your distance from them or else you can find yourself quickly swarmed.

Characteristics:
-Very agile
-Sharp teeth
-Terrible odor
-Pack creatures

Ghouls

These abominations are what became of those that didn't die from the radiation. They are exactly like the famous pop cultural "zombies", and they will attack any living thing. They often get into battles with rats and other wasteland creatures, and thanks to their strength, they usually win. They are incredibly hard to kill, and they posess superhuman strenght. They can bend metal with their bare fists. And what makes them even more fearful is the fact that they constantly radiate 10 times stronger than an avergage fuel cell in a nuclear power plant. If you do have to go up against them, be preapred, and pack tons of lead armor on yourself.

Characteristics:
-Very strong
-Tenacious
-Radioactive ( Get teh joke )

Spine Wolves

This is what happens to a puppy thrown on the road, when it gets hit by gamma rays 1000x of a lethal dose. You don't want to meet these baddies, ever. They are agile, strong, and have razor sharp claws and fangs. They always hunt in pairs of two, and have good smelling, thought their hearing and vision is kind of bad. They are very strong and can regenerate even in combat.

Characteristics:
-Vicious AF
-Regeneration
-Also radiates
-Good at tracking down it's prey

Psychos/Bandits

Not technically mutants, these psychonauts that roam the wastes do have genetical disorder in their brain caused by the radiation. They are in for the kill, and usually wön't stop until they are dead. They are a very commoin plague for the settlers, and they are also in war with the maffia. Their social behavious reflects a potato's and they are not really talkative. That doesn't mean they are stupid. They are usually kept in line by some thug, that isn't contaminated, and has the balls to keep them controlloed. The same description can go to the usual bandits too. They posess firearms and basic vehicles. Ouch.

Characteristics:
-Armed
-Fanatics
-Sadists
-Very brave

Stalkers

Spiderlings are giant mutated spiders, that hide in the dark, and dank dephts of the planet. Thus their vision is excellent, and they can sense motion from very far away. Take a wrong step, and their web will be your final resting place. They can puncture your body with a single punch, and their chitin plates can protect them from most froms of kinetic damage. However they are very vulnerbale to falling, and blunt objects hitting them. They are loners, but taking one down is a hard task even for the experienced scavengers.

Characteristics:
-Very quick strikes
-Extremely sharp chitin blades
-Good armor

Those are only the most common of mutants that roam the lands, so rest asured I still have some ideas up my sleeve ;D

Extra Info #2

The Timeline of the RP is long and convoluted, but because we are only playing the first setting of the actual universe, we don't have to worry about anything overlapping. So here is an overview of what happened:

• +1 hours to apocalypse: Offical governement crumbles, most of the population does of radiation overdosage, military tries to cease control and protect civilians in safe areas.
• +4 hours: Major underground hubs like metro stations and cargo acces tunnels are crowded with survivors.
• +24 hours: Survivors organize search parties to ssek out food and supplies. Most of these people due to radiation exposure, but they manage to get a good biew of the surface.
• +48 hours: Radiation reaches acceptable levels, but air is too poisonous and thin to breathe. Many die in shelters from poor air conditions, or because of shoddy air filters. Most food becomes irradiated, canned foods are the go-to food source.
• +72 hours: Raiders begin to organize attacks on settlements for supplies and gear. Weapons become a new priority loot.
• +128 hours: Utility services cease to work. All above ground settlements move underground in the face of emerging mutant and raider threat. Most minor settlements are abandoned, and are now housing threats.
• +2 weeks: Major settlements begin popping up, providing a safe haven for survivors who want a better future. Any resembelance of the military ceases to exist, and use their gear to work as mercenaries or join raider gangs.
• +3 weeks: Currency is re-established in the form of pop tabs (the little things you can open tin cans with if you don't have an opener). Traders begin to chart out the ruins of the planet in search for other settlements.
• +4 weeks: Large communities begin to appear, and electricy is restored to some areas. Radio stations are now setup to help co-ordination of survivors.
• +2 months: The remains of the Mafia surface from their underground bunker, and offer protection from Raiders. They extort money from settlements, and only rarely intervene to protect them. Using scavenged equipment they restore some ships to working condition and help in the creation of the first above ground settlement.
• +4 months: Scavenging becomes harder as organized crime gangs are popping up equipped with military gear and mobilized forces, barricading the tunnels. The topside is ravaged by mutants that are rapidly reproducing and prey on the humans.
• +5 months: The mafia controls the only above ground farming settlement, selling crops and livestock for insane prices. They place monopoly on electricity, and essentially act as an unoffical governement. Many settlemetns struggle to stay fed and powered.
• +7 months: Metro railways and cargo transports are powered back up, allowing for limited travel between setlements. Mafia now controls important chokepoints and focuses of defending against raiders. Most major settlements focus on expanding, and hire mercenaries to provide themselves with the needed materials. The first Runner groups emerge as the air starts to clear from toxic ions, but is still to thin to properly breathe.
• +8 months: With the solid influx of food and amterials due to the Runners, commerce flourishes and settlements rapidly grow. Well renowned Runner and mercenary Ashur "Loki" Lean establishes the Devil's Runners group.
• +1 year: Current time. Mafia still acts as pity governement, but progressively restores utilities to settlements with monopoly on them. The planet enters it's winter cycle, and Runners have more jobs cut out for them than before with the dropping temperatures. Large groups of mutants wipe out most raiders, and threaten settlements in search of food.

Extra Info #3

This time we will look at more in-depth info about the world that the RP plays in. You apready know some info about it from the opening, but I will cover the more relevant information about places and groups.

Enoh

Before

After


Enoh was once an industrial powerhouse with billions of citizens living on it. Nowadays it looks more like a desloate and hellish landsape that doesn't forgive. During the warpgate explosion, the Southern side of the planet took most of the impact, destroying everything on that hemisphere. Now the survivors have all migrated to the North, where some resemblance of civilization still remains in the form of underground settlements. The largest pre-apocalypse population hub is the location with the most settlements on the whole planet, known as Daria. This used to be a sprawling urban center with a massive spaceport, but now it is fertile ground for survivors that want to rebuild whatever they can. Most communities are separated by hundreds of miles of mutant infested tunnels, so even thought there could be much greater trading between the survivors, they would need co-ordinated efforts to make it avaible. However, thanks to the rebuilt radios, news can still be shared with the rest of the hemisphere.

Settlements

_{Shameless I know, but these are the closes I will get.}

After the apocalypse, most fled into the vast underground tunnels that are below the surface. However, some of the lower levels are completely sealed off by their inhabitants, and are out of touch with the surface. Nobody knows what is going on behind the sealed blast proof doors and masssive barricades down there, but not many people have time to worry about it. The people who lived on the surface have only migrated as far below as metro lines and the cargo trains that run below the surface. These are crowded, poorly lit and conditioned slums that try to house as many people as possible. This can be said about almost any settlement, but there are a few strongholds that do better than the others. Notably 3 settlements are the shining examples of the wastes: Garth, the southernmost stronghold that took it upon themselves to patrol and protect large portions of the tunnels leading towards the South and defend against mutants, Lornfell, the trading hub and the largest 24/7 open settlement that is responsible for operating the utlity services, and finally Kington, the Stronghold of the Mafia and the only settlement above ground. There are dozens more small settlements, but these three locations are the main areas of commerce.

Underworld Portals

The massive service tunnels that lead down into the lower levels of the planet are given the friendly name of "underworld poartals" by the locals. The are hardly accessible and are most unused nowadays, but the upper few levels use elevator systems to move around the various levels using these portals. Most notably, the portal next to Garth has been almost fully built in, with most of the it's walls covered in small buildings for a few dozen levels. Nowadays, it is one of the only 2 ways of entry into the city.

Some portals are more notorious than others, often being responsible for housing nests of unspeakable horros. One such portal is "The Pit", which lays near the fringes of the local community. It is the nest of many species of mutants, and all expeditions to chart out or clear it have ended in failure and the death of the parties. A large are near it is off-limits to most settlers, and only Runners are allowed anywhere near it.

The Tunnels

The collective name of Metro and cargo railways, planetray ventillation shafts and sewage systems that are used as the primary ways of getting around. They suffered the least damage during the apocalypse, and the deeper you go, the more intact they are. Many of the settlements are built inside chokepoints of these tunnels, and the community is interconnected by these systems. Towards the South, soldiers of Garth keep the peace in the tunnels with many roadblocks, while the Mafia and local volunteers keep the peace in most other locations. Since power is still only used inside settlements, these tunnels are often pitch-black, giving ample oppurtinity for mutants to prey on unsuspecting humans. In some of the upper railways, means of transportation have emrged that use the already existing infrastructure, but you won't find that in the lower areas.

Hellscape

The surface is little more than ruins now, with the streets littered with debree and thrash, and roamed by raiders and mutants. Settlers rarely come up here, but Runners are tasked with reovering supplies from locations in the hellscape. The only beacon of hope is the massive ruins of a skyscraper that is now known as the settlement of Kington. Most Runners enter and exit the tunnels here, thought the braver Runners often try to sneak into and out of Garth to escape the search parties of the Mafia who would tax what they scavenge. Small communes that live off the charts vegetate inside the ruins of larger buildings, but they rarely contact the outside community. The only reason we know they are there, is because of the occasional scavengers that can be spotted in the hellscape. Some of the more experienced Runners are people like these.

Supplies are ample to find, but the surface is the most dangerous of all the locations. Air is scarce and toxic, whilst the sun is constantly trying to murder anyone on the surface with deadly rays of radiation. The temperature is often below freezing even in daylight, but it can become extremely cold in the night hours. Now that winter is coming, scavenging on the topside will be even harder than before.

Devil's Runners

"So you came here for another story, eh? Well let me tell you one that you have never heard of before."

---

Exposition

So, have you heard of the planet Enoh? I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't. People more often use the term "Abandoned Hell". But it is not as abandoned as people think. Now let me tell you the full story behind the name. Once upon a time, several centuries ago, Enoh was a gigantic world that was covered with cities to the last inch. Multiple industrial levels spanned through the planet's crust, turning it into a world made by man, ruled by machines. It had a population of several billion people, and so it relied on importing food, and other organic supplies. However it's heavy industry and shipyards of it's 3 moons made trade flourish in the sector. The skyscrapers that made wounds in the giant clouds of the planet, housed the rich merchants, whilst the slums were the place where industrial workers went to spend their night, and lighten their purse in bars. The local maffia was well know in the galaxy for having military equipment, and commiting notorious crimes against the commonfolk. However, it all changed on a fateful day.

At the time, Interplanetary travel was made possible by the usage of wormholes that spanned across the universe, leading to other systems. Jump gates were established for better stability and faster jump times, and those that had wormholes connected to them allowed for insant travel. But all hell break loose when the wormhole leading to Enoh turned unstable. It was that day fate decided not to favor the system anymore, and bring a solar catastrophe to the planet. In the very first seconds of the wormhole's long suffering, that ultimately led to it's death, it let out a burst of gamma rays so strong that it melted the jump gate around it. It only lasted for a brief moment, but it was enough to kill 3/4 of all people on the planet and fry most of the electrical equipment. The catastrophe came as a surprise and left havok in it's wake. The wormhole layed dormant for another day, when it started to emit radio frequencies that disabled all communications on the planet, and made it impossible to target the sector's co-ordinates in order to send help. The governement of the planet died on that day and Enoh fell into chaos.

The third day was the most devastating of all. In a brilliant flash, the wormhole exploded, and the intensive waves from it swept away most of the planet's atmopshere. The electromagnetic particles fried all electronics that weren't already destroyed on the first day, and the side of the planet facing the wormhole at the time of explosion was hit by gamma waves so powerful in annihilated all lifeforms it hit directly. The rest was mutated, turning them into mindless monsters, mutated beyond recognition. Some on the lower level were fortunate enough to survive the first wave, but the radiation melted their brain into mindless psychpaths, barely able to communicate whith each other. Even the lowest levels suffered contamination 10 times stroner than the background radiation. On that day the population dropped to a mere 1.5 million, most of them on the other side of the planet.

Weeks passed, and settlements started popping up one after another, along with raiders that were trying to control the lands. There were vast no man's lands between suitable territories on the surface, and underground. The lowermost levels locked themselves up, waiting for help that never came. They say that their children still wait for rescure down, far below the surface of the planet, in areas long forgotten and blockaded. However this is not the story of these secluded few. Soon, the maffia came back to life, and re-organized itself on the remnants of the ruined civilization. They became the most powerful force, and the only ones with ships avaible for use. They protected the settlements in exchange for money, however the protecting part often failed to realize. Raiders and mutants became a constant struggle for the survivors, even though life was harsh as it is. Growing food and expanding their settlements was all they had time for. To go out and get supplies was considered to be the most dangerous job on the planet. Everyone knew that mutants weren't the most devastating of the things that lurked in the constant twilight of the planet and roamed the radiated zones.

And in this time of turmoil emerged a small group known as the Devil's Runners. They were masters of martial arts, shooting, parkour and scavenging. They soon became the most well known mercenary group on the planet, and even with limited communications, there was no survivor who never heard of them at least once. They were the ones that went out day to day in the wastes of civilization and fought with their life for the daily. The settlers looked upon them as saviors, even if their fees were high. In these dark times, they were the bright beacons of hope in this desloate enviroment. And this my friends, is their story.

The RP

So what is this and what are we doing? Well you should know if you have read the story, but if ya haven't ye lazy bastard then I will tell you right now. We will be playing as mercenaries that go out in a post-apocalyptic world of suffering and doom, solve people's issues (for a good price that is) and get supplies for settlements that need it. Our team would choose from a range of quests offered by various settlements and individuals, and the carry out said quest. After that, we will be bale to spend some sweet time developing characters and listening my more exposition from yours sincerely. If you like what you hear, and you want to have this awesome experience with a devoted GM then you should apply!

Rulez

This is how the cookie crumbles:
-Site rules apply, duh.
-I am a nice and friendly GM that sometimes goes into full retard, but my words are still the most powerful, and right after them are the words of my Co-GMs.
-I expect at least 2 paragraphs per post with a mid/high casual quality. My primary language isn't english, but I expect proper sentences in an RP. Just make sure posts advance the plot.
-For the love of god, make up your mind once you join. I don't want anyone leaving after a week or two, holding up the rest of the RP until they decide to announce that they are quitting.
-Please no OP characters that are the "chosen ones". Your skills should reflect your background and be within reasonable boundaries. Remember that everyone has some quirks, so make sure you make a character with exploitable weaknesses for RP reasons.

Character Sheet

Name:

Nickname (not necessary, but make sure to relate to your background if do have one):

Age:

Appearance (I would love a picture more than anything, but if you can detail to us what your character looks like to the point where we can imagine in it you are good in my book):

Personality (only keywods that you can use as a cheathseet during the RP, no need for detailing what "charismatic" or "caring" means):

Background:

Pros (What is your character good at? This should include the things that make you a good candidate for a Runner. By default everyone is agile and fit enough for the job, but if you are partically good in one of these areas then you should mention it):

Quirks (Unlike in Boku no Hero, quirks are a bad thing here. What are the thiungs that your character cannot handle, or are weak to?:

Habits (To add more features to your character, these should include hobbies or obsessions. Is your character a drunkard and cannot stop drinking? Were you an artist before the apocalypse and now you like painting on your armor or graffitiing on walls?):

Equipment (Please include a gas mask by default, and be fair with weapons and armor. The era of tech is mainly electromagnetic kinetic weapons, with some traces of other energy weapons like laser and plasma. Snipers are ok as long as they have a solid quirk(s) to compensate for the burden they put on runners and their unsuitable use for urban warfare):

Motto (Not necessary, but if you have one, make it represent your character in a snappy one liner) :

[Thecrash20]

Still got room magic potato man? Most my current RPs are slowing down hard. So its time to fill the gaps.

[6slyboy6]

@Thecrash20 Hell yeah big blue ugly monster guy! You can spend the time here until we wait to fight in the Maw.

[Thecrash20]

@Thecrash20 Hell yeah big blue ugly monster guy! You can spend the time here until we wait to fight in the Maw.

@6slyboy6

Exactly haha. I'll bring a CS soon.

_{For the record his name is, Soloman}

Still the Best

[Liotrent]

@6slyboy6 Still working on mine, I'll have it up soon later today and it might not be complete yet just saying.

[6slyboy6]

@Liotrent There you go guys again with these confidence killers! So far I have only seen 2 awesome characters, so I have high hopes for your work. And I am sure you don't know me as someone to break your spirits by absolutely shittalking what you write.

If anything I am the biggest fan of my players and their writings. After all, we can't have an RP without them and the time they spend in developing characters.

[Tala Avana]

Imma drop my interest and start making a character. Quick question though, are there multiple groups of Devil Runners, or is it just one?

[OwO]

"Boomer"

Sidney Cornell

"I do two things 'round here. Shoot shit and blow shit up. Sometimes both to the same shit."

Name: Sidney Cornell

Nickname: Boomer

Age: 33

Appearance:

Her Face

Standing at 5'11", Sidney is rather tall. She is rather clean, compared to others. She even bleached her hair. Her entire body is covered in burn, shrapnel, and chemical scars, an experience that her face had been lucky enough to escape.

Personality:
└Destructive - Sidney has problems keeping things in working order. She really likes to destroy stuff.
└People Person - Oddly enough, Sidney has the social skills of a functional adult. She can, if need be, act as a leader. Though, telling the person who handles all of the explosives to go make a plan is bound to end in chaos.
└Thrill-seeking - Sidney revels in chaos and lives for danger. She has no qualms putting her life on the line for some action. Granted, this is a prerequisite for her line of work.
└Brash - Just like her true love, Sidney is loud and overbearing. She yells frequently, constantly breaks things, and has a rather inflated ego.

Background:
└The Legion
Sidney was born and raised with them. A large group of mercenaries who had decided that order was needed on Enoh. They had created a sanctuary to protect the weak from bandits. Sidney, the daughter of two mercenaries, was taught to be a soldier for the Legion at a young age. She gained a knowledge of explosives and all of the training a child could get. Up until she was twenty, everything was fine. She occasionally fought, but she was never in grave danger.

That was until the Legion began to split.

Political disharmony began to churn the Legion. Some factions wanted one thing, others wanted the exact opposite. Soon, a full on war was raged. In the end, it didn't matter what side of the Legions you were on - it was all destroyed. Luckily, Sidney had escaped the Legion before the entire place exploded on itself. She brought along what little equipment she could carry, and began to wander.

It didn't take long for someone with explosive skills to become a mercenary. Sidney usually worked alone. She could take care of herself. After a while, she gained quite a reputation. Eventually, she met with another mercenary group - the Devil's Runners. After "accidentally" blowing up the bandits they were meant to deal with, she was invited to join them; she did.

Pros:
└Pointman - Sidney is a natural lead in combat. A mixture of her quick-thinking, good shooting, explosives, and willingness to hit the frontlines make her the perfect candidate to lead a charge.
└Combat Sapper - Trained to be a combat engineer, Sidney can blow practically anything up. Her "engineering" doesn't end there - she can dig holes, weld objects, and even create explosives.

Quirks:
└Fine line - As a great man once said, there's a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Sidney's fearlessness makes her unable to think of any sort of consequence to her actions.
└Sniper > Shotgun > Rifle - Sidney doesn't actually have any sort of way to deal with being attacked from a distance. She could throw explosives at them, but she isn't a combat pitcher.
└Heavy - Thanks to the sheer amount of equipment she brings, Sidney isn't exactly a good runner. She has the endurance, just not the speed.

Habits:
└Explosive Hobbyist - Sidney has a tendency to... blow things up. If there's something in pristine condition, she will (without a doubt) destroy it.

Equipment:
└ASC Helmet - Designed to block shrapnel, the ASC Helmet acts as a gas mask and protects the user from shrapnel, heat, and just about any things that you can throw at it. While it can't take a bullet head-on, it can deal with glancing blows rather easily.
└Anti-Explosive Combat Armour - It does a good job at blocking shrapnel and heat, but still allows for unrestricted movement. Perfect for a sapper to use.
└HCAP Shotgun - High capacity and all purpose, the HCAP allows for the usage of all shotgun rounds - be it HE, AP, Salt, or regular rounds.
└Shotgun Rounds - Sidney carries a lot with her. She has mostly armour piercing and regular rounds, but she does have some high explosive, salt, and dragon's breath rounds. The last one is being saved for a special occasion, however.
└HE charge - Practically bricks of pure explosive energy, HE charges are the Sidney's lifeblood. Note that they don't have any sort of shrapnel attached to them, so as long as someone is behind something, they'd be fine. Probably.
└Dual combat shovels - When one hole ain't enough. Great for everything, really. From shoveling to paddling to even cutting food, Sidney uses them for everything.
└Engineering Kit - Filled with fuses, detonator caps, wiring, miniature blowtorch, and countless other odds and ends, it's the perfect tool for engineers.

[The Heretic]

@6slyboy6 Am I safe to post Newt in the characters tab?

[6slyboy6]

@Tala Avana We are the only Devil's Runners. There may be other runners or groups like us, but we are THE Devil's Runners.

@SilverDawn Yo, I gotta add her to my fave characters. Even thought she isn't especially a "runner" despite being in a gang like us, she seems like a really good addition to the team. And the format is just *kisses fingers like a chef*
Put 'er into the CS if you are done editing whatever you think you may want to add to her.

[6slyboy6]

@The Heretic Yu making me double post boi

Yes, I already approved of it back in the Interest check. Feel free to move it into the CS section.

[The Heretic]

@6slyboy6 Sorry ;)

Aight. I'll add her in a wee bit after I've fleshed her out a bit more. All the characters are looking great so far!

[Liotrent]

JOHN LOUIS

“Teach”

MOTTO

"Teach people valuable lessons about life, mostly how not to catch a bullet to the head and how not to be a dumbass."

Appearance

Suited up

Note I'm working on getting a better image than this, but it serves its purpose.

_____________________________________________

Out of his suit

DISCLAIMER: I do not own either image, all credits belong to the artists.

John stands at a tall 6'3, he's pretty ripped due to the amount of mechanical work he does and his constant ventures out into the wastes, he's pretty well groomed and likes to keep his looks rugged and worn, other than that, he's basically like any other forty year old man.

Age:

0 41

Personality:

0 Cautious and Careful
-He likes to take his time, make sure everything is just right.
0 Reserved and Attentive
-He doesn’t talk much, he only talks when he needs to, but he is listening.
0 Truthful, Heavy-Handed, and untactful
-When there’s a problem, he’ll tell it to you straight, no beating around the bush.
0 Irritable, grumpy, easily annoyed
-The dude’s forty one year’s old, just cause he’s reserved doesn’t mean he’s always calm.
0 A Harsh but practical Realist
-He may be a realist and realistically speaking everything is bleak, but he’s reasonable enough to see that it ain’t over yet.

Background:

The old man was an teacher on Engineering and physics, explaining everything from Electrical circuits, batteries, structural Engineering, architecture, all the way to Nuclear physics; he was able to survive from the application of this knowledge and the books that were left abandoned near his place of work which he gathered while evacuating into a safer zone as the entire city he was in was close enough to the edge of the affected area that it was considered a risk.

He was of course decontaminated and quarantined to observe for any ill-effects; thankfully John didn’t show any signs of radiation poisoning, since then he has been trying to improve life for people in his settlement, even going as far as making his own ‘wasteland kit’ for going out into the wastes and scavenging it for anything useful. Because of this, John has more than once encountered dangerous mutants and raiders, he made his own weapons to defend himself and actively hunt problematic denizens of the wastes.

This led him to take on new skills and lessons from the wastes considering that he could’ve died on numerous occasions, he was resourceful enough to stay on his feet and was still fit enough to move around easily, seeing as he kept himself in shape using his own exercise equipment. Eventually, he was hired to do a job that was supposed to kill him but he came back, rumors spread and people started asking things of him, and just like that, he was a merc, he still taught in the settlements trying to keep education alive, it was understandable no one could really afford to be in any type of school at that point, so he did what he could with the books that he had, he even tried to learn chemistry, but he could not understand it to a point where he could apply it, but at the end of the day he was still a Merc and eventually a Devil’s Runner.

Pros

0 Resourceful Craftsman
-If he’s got time and resources, he could make something for you and you could bet your ass it’d work.
0 Fast Learner
-Something that took a normal person days to learn could only take him hours to learn and do proficiently.
0 Meticulous Perfectionism
-Want something done right the first time? He’s the guy you call, he’ll work until everything feels juuust right.

Quirks & Cons

0 Too silent for the dead
-He never talks until he needs to talk, he doesn’t waste precious breath on stupid shit.
0 Mr. Irritable
-When he does talk, it’s often to tell you to shut the hell up or to stop being completely stupid.
0 Anti-Social, Grizzled Veteran
-He’s seen some really fucked up shit happen in the wastes, probably why he doesn’t talk or get close to anybody.

Habits:

0 Reading books
-The Old man is an avid reader of the literary works, from philosophy to fiction, ironic that this is one of the situations that happened in a Sci-fi novel he read.
0 Pacing
-When he’s thinking, nervous, anxious, or even excited about something he instinctively paces; his mood can be determined by the way he paces around and around, over and over.

Equipment

0 Gas Mask.
-Part of the kit.
0 Pneumatic Sniper Rifle
-Fires 15mm steel balls, mag-fed, requires pumping, Scoped 4x zoom, very powerful when the air tank is at full pressure.

image

Image Reference from Metro 2033, Tihar, Pneumatic weapons.

0 Homemade Knife
-The Knife is a lot like a machete or a cleaver.
0 Carry pouches
-To carry all his equipment and rations.
0 Tool Kit
-What kind of Engineering and Physics professor doesn't have their own tools?
0 Pistol
-A regular 9mm Plinker, nothing special about this. Useful in tight situations, in fact best side arm he owns until he can find a new one or make his own.

I like the way you think.
