[OOC] Life After- A Sorta Nation Prepping RP

[Andrew Blade]

Yeah, we're going to be flying solo in our own little stories for awhile, until someone's characters have the gumption to leave home so we can have interactions.

@Dusty

Mine was never set to stay put in one place for very long, I'm sure I'll be on the road before too long.

@Andrew Blade@Dusty@Banzai Tracers

Reminder folks! Anyone with a radio should be able to hear not only Three Dawg, but other people broadcasting, including the other survivor groups. Due to the magic of 20XX technology, radiowaves can transmit flawlessly across all of America!

[Banzai Tracers]

So what your saying is. Three Dawg has found some way to broadcast himself to every state in the country!?

Man that guy must have allot of resources. Or maybe just plain resourcefullness.

I was going to listen to him on the car radio in the next post. Maybe after he tells us some 'go downs' that be goin down.

[Dusty]

Is Three Dawg running an advert campaign so people know to tune into his station?

[Enigmatik]

Ok, lemme rephrase this.

DUE TO MAGIC, YOU CAN ALL TALK TO ONE ANOTHER OVER RADIOS. THIS IS A PSA FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH

@Dusty No, but he’s broadcasting on multiple wavelengths, so stumbling across him is pretty likely.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Yeah, we're going to be flying solo in our own little stories for awhile, until someone's characters have the gumption to leave home so we can have interactions.

@Dusty

This was one of the reasons I had an idea of being a bunch of merchant nomads who'd go cross country, so they'd have something to do and would be easy to interact with for other people.

As for my NS, I've hit a road block in terms of actually writing people. I'll probably just put up what I have to expedite things and as to not dawdle anymore.

The Church of the Falling Star

THE CHURCH OF THE FALLING STAR

THE SANCTUARY

Once a crumbling rural stone chapel, the Church of the Falling Star has dutifully rebuilt and fortified into a self-proclaims "fortress-monastery". Complete with communal dining hall, sleeping cells, a library, an armory-forge, a radio communications room with a "Pillar of Light" (broadcasting beacon), and underground cellars, the Church is confident it can weather the "Star Fall". Many of these additions have been tacked on to the side or on top of the old chapel, forcing its silhouette into a new, much larger shape.

Farming plots and animal pens for sheep, chickens and pigs have been set up with the animals provided by farmers who have seen the light. A few separate buildings been set up to act as guard houses, outdoor workshops, communal grounds and storage barns. A rudimentary wall of logs, sheet metal and homemade barbed wire marks the outer wall of the compound although some farms and "guard stations" (read: glorified bathtubs basically) mark the "frontier". Loud speakers are common in the territory of the Church and used to signal prayer and other messages while numerous flags and other iconography is used to display who now owns these lands and the great solar deity who protects them.

The vaults of the Church contain several years' worth of nonperishable food even though they plan to rely on their farmland and farming knowledge. Common over the counter medicines, vitamin supplements and even a few prescription painkillers along with medical kits and gasmasks are used to treated wounds but the Followers of the Falling Star hope to use their own herb greenhouse to make herbal remedies as well as prayer. There are few if any power tools and but plenty of toolboxes. Most important of all is the raw material stockpiles of logs, scrap metal and fabrics the Church possess and uses to craft anything they cannot get their hands on.

The armory contains weapons of simpler designs, the Grand Inquisitor knowing that they will not be able to rely on modern, complex firearms forever has opted to arm his followers in a more basic manner. As such, nearly all fire arms are bolt action or revolvers:

• Remington Model 700 Rifles w/ 4,000 rounds of .308 Winchester
• Smith and Wesson Model 686 Revolvers w/ 7,000 rounds of .357 Magnum
• Henry Lever Action Carbines w/ 7,000 rounds of .357 Magnum
• Double Barrel Shotguns w/ 3,000 of 12 Gauge Buck
• Crossbows w/ 7,000 Bolts
• Homemade Flamethrowers to Purge
• Axes, Machetes, Homemade Swords, Hammers

THE FAITHFUL

Through the charismatic preaching's of its Grand Hierophant, Adam Varizino, the Church of the Falling Star has gathered a 17 adults and 5 children. While some do truly believe the words of the blessed prophets, others aren't so pious but believe they see the writing on the wall and joined as a means of surviving the end, willing to pay lip service or just entertain the Church's ideas as a mean to fit in.

The Grand Hierophant, Adam "the Prophet" Varizino is a man in his 30's that just exudes charisma with an almost supernatural ability to preach and influence people. He claims to have been "born of the heavens" and sent down to tell of the "Twilight of Man". Whatever the case, anyone sane presumes that much of his gifts come from a deep understanding of psychology and a strong, confident personality as well as a magnanimous attitude.

THE CANON

"Do you not see the signs? Do you not see how the wind howls and how the birds no longer sing! Do you not see how the world sours itself under the weight of its own filth! Do you not feel the rotting dread deep within you my brothers and sisters! Do you not feel how we have angered Lord all mighty! For centuries we have let governments and wealth and politics and false idols blind us! For centuries we have been awaiting damnation! I tell you, I do, of when the stars falls and the very heavens themselves blacken with the souls of the lost and the damned where not even the so called worthy will survive!

There will be no redemption, no salvation, no rapture for those who cling to the sickening pollution of old gods and false lies! Every day, our reckoning creeps ever closer! Do you not feel it! Do you not feel the Sun setting upon humanity! Oh how the light leaves us and the dark drags us! The so called 'wise' will say we have nothing to worry about and the so called 'pious' will proclaim with serpent tongues that the god they worship will save them, but they are of the darkness that shall consume the world! The most holy and hallowed ground of our forefathers and their forefathers! Lost to the shadows of the apocalypse!

The stars will fall and rain down hellfire upon those who are not prepared! The light is lost to all those who are blindly ignorant to the truth and thus I beg of you, of mankind, of all of Earth to heed my warning! The heavens shall shatter and the stars will fall and the light of mankind will forever extinguish into eternal nightmares less you heed my clarion call to arms! To arms brothers, to arms sisters! To arms to defend what good remains of man and what good remains of his achievement for we shall not go silently unto that most dark and dreaded night silently!"

[DeletedUser9Gh7]

My lore is not even done..

[Andrew Blade]

Me and my group will likely be on the road shortly. I think Dean is going to decide to get a jump on the rest of civilization before real panic takes over.

Nevada/California Private Airfield

The Stronghold:

An old private airfield near the border of California and Nevada. Quite remote but sometimes a few tourists just want to stay a few days in Primm and bet a few money before leaving the state. The airfield is one hangar connected to a tower and a little residential area where Tomas and Stacey spends most of their days while there's no flight. The tower is where Andrei watches the nearby signal and airplanes nearby and his crazy theories.

Since The Great Fear the hangar was closed to the public and have been renovated. The hangar door has been turned into a large wall and the only was in is the side door and the many escape tunnels that Andrew created. They placed an old trailer and attach it to a door near the hangar. This trailer serves as storage in the outside this trailer is protected with spikes to avoid pesky raider stealing stuff. They went to Primm and Andrew "borrowed" money from a casino and bought all the supplies. Which totals to a lot of scrap metal and 1.5k food units. They also dug up a little bunker area

They have a value of 15.000 dollars of things to be sold after bad things happen however combining the stuff they don't need in the airfield they can get 18.000 dollars They have a lot of pistols and rifles lying around some were military which was scavenged in an abandoned building. They have 2 9mm pistol, 1 10mm Pistol, An old BB gun and A scavenged A5 15 and Kriss Vector. They also have broken rocket launchers and flamethrowers but it would take alot of materials to rebuild them. And they have three have: Two toolboxes with tools
Extra radio (can be sold)
Antenna for radios
Spare computers
A case of shotgun shells
8 cases of aka-47 ammuniton
A few BB gun ammo
A whole lot of pistol ammunition (10mm and 9mm)
Spare ammunition that they don't have weapons for (spare 5mm and 5.6 ammo)
Weapons that they don't have ammo for (salvaged flamethrower and salvaged missle launchers)
Car parts
Motorctcle Parts
10 wine crates of salvaged scrap metal
8 large carts of wood (stolen from lumber shops)
Hunting Rifle (Spare)
Hunting Rifle Ammunition (2 crates and one mailman bag)
Finally their means of transportation. Their planes was turned into piles of scrap metal but they are still using an old 150 raptor ford.

The Survivors:
The hangar's plane is piloted by Tomas Angelo a former pilot but now he wanna do his own things and fly his own plane his 28 yrs old, their old plane often gets a few strikes or collapsed parts here and there and that's where Stacey Calliban comes in but planes need something to make sure they land correctly and that's where this next prepper comes in and even though she is 23 yrs old she cannot do all these things together so the prepper..

Andrews Handsford the crazy but kinda smart guy up in that wooden reinforced tower. He spends most of his time planning theories like "The Eiffel Tower cannot be pictured at night because it provides visible sight of extra terrestrials or how "Roswell" is a captured U.F.O by the goverment and these aliens attempted to escape." However some of his predictions like Gas price are often correct. He is 25 yrs old. However these guys need support

Luckily Andrew's uncle is a old hunter armed with a hunting rifle with a beard that would scare off any raiders his name is "Mike Handsford". He believes in the apocalypse (From watching too much videos) and is willing to help, he used to guard the airfields until the police FINALLY did their jobs. Now he comes from Arizona this 41 yr old is willing to help Andrew, Stacey and Tomas get in tip-top shake. We also got a K9 dog by the name of "Barky" which is Mike's companion vicious and can scare off intruders before barking to call Mike.
The Lore:
The Airfields is filled with dust from classic Nevada soon enough Andrews enter the hangar.
"Alright so when the aliens come remember sounds make them weak.." Andrews said before putting the supplies back. "Alright I'm here time to shoot some trouble makers!" Mike arrives entering the hangar.

"So we are all set? The hangar can widstand SOME EXPLOSIVES since this dates back to World War II." Stacey says. "We will be like a fortress here so that's good anyway what now?" Andrews said. "Well we have that door ready for a fight!"

"We also got some radios around just incase!" Tomas said as he carries a pile of radio and plugs them in. "Once the military says there's a miss

"Alright remember the little bunker is where I sleep..I like cozy things..." Mike says as he looks at Stacey before everyone else grabs their gun

(Hope that's enough..)

Hope it's enough..

@SantosGabriel77

Juuuuuust need the lore.

I've managed to injure myself mildly folks, so getting out the next post will be difficult, but not impossible. Holdfast!

[Dusty]

@Irredeemable
What style of injury would make it difficult to type on a keyboard? Did you cut off your finger?

[Enigmatik]

@Dusty

It's not that I can't type, but that I'm just generally not doing a whole lot.

[Raylah]

Hehe Im generally not doing whole lot even uninjured :) Get better soon.

[DeletedUser9Gh7]

What kind of lore do you want?

Also I updated it.

[Dusty]

@Dusty

It's not that I can't type, but that I'm just generally not doing a whole lot.

@Irredeemable

Ah, so you chopped off your whole hand. XD

[Enigmatik]

Not all my posts are big plot advances! Also, DISCORD UP SOON!

[Andrew Blade]

>.O Screw anything west.

[Dusty]

Yeah, Montana might not be the best idea in the event of a Yellowstone eruption.

[Raylah]

Just saying, I once did a seminary work on the Yellowstone supervolcano while on high school, and if it actually were to explode, most of the states in USA, especially west from the volcano, would never see daylight again and would be covered in volcanic ashes for ages. Same goes for a big part of Europe, as thanks to Earth's rotation, the ashes high up in the athmosphere would spread there as well. So if @Irredeemable is actually going to use that, maybe make it a bit less realistic and bit more survivable, because almost noone would survive the real deal, not in a longer horizon.
Oh and I believe it's Israel not Isreal :D
