This role play is for mature writers and characters only. Swearing, racism, sexism, violence, prejudice etc. it is all accepted. The theme is dark and dangerous, and I want the characters to be able to fit into the scenario. I’ve got the idea for this from watching some films, and reading books and an advert for a TV show. So yeah, hopefully I can get some interest in this.

War, it happened. The world has been ravaged by technology, science and Mans greed. Mass consumerism, religious extremists, terrorists and human’s destruction of the world lead to nuclear war, and the technology that men relied on so much turned on them, and failed, destroying itself leaving men in an almost medieval state of existence. Unable to adapt and cope, within one hundred years, earth was clear of almost all human life force. Here and there a few groups of people learned to survive, but for the most part, life is dead. And in 2245, the world is now a deadly jungle terrain.

In the year 2090, a man by the name of Herrity Apox created a space centre that was to be used for the soul purpose of housing criminals. A controversial matter, it was only used for 10 years, before criminals were dealt with back on Earth. But in those ten years, over one hundred hardened criminals were locked in earth, locked in a state of frozen time and in complete isolation, awaiting their trials back on earth. They have no idea of the year, of what has happened. They have been locked in a sleep for over one hundred years, forgotten about. But their power fails, and the Apox centre is sent crashing to earth. Some criminals perish in the crash, but some survive. And this is where our story begins.

More info
So basically, our characters will be hardened criminals that survive the crash of the prison. The plan is for them to come across a crumbling military base and find out all about what has happened. So it is a quest for survival on a planet with feral wild life, hostile environments and survivors who take down any one they do not know. It’s a dystopian world, and our criminals have to find a way to survive.

Ideas
Your crime has to have been very severe to be sent to the Apox, so no petty criminals please. My female is going to be a murderer, but for her it was revenge killing. So you can have a reason behind your characters crime, have them unfairly tried etc. Perhaps they were unaware people were inside when they set of a bomb? Maybe a political activist who was tried as a terrorist? A leader of a notorious gang? Ring leader of an international weapons smuggling group? But yes, has to be something severe. Also, we need badass characters in this; they need to be able to survive. Minimum age is 18, but again I would like to keep them varied.

So yeah, anyone interested?

I'm definitely interested.
I've got a survival nut that I haven't gotten to actually play ever but this sounds the perfect thread. Raised in the backwoods of Southeastern United States (never really set a State to be honest), he was a survivalist through and through that definitely killed a couple *dozen* people for trespassing on his land in a variety of different ways (spike pits, hunting traps, shooting/stabbing them, etc) before a manhunt for the disappearance of a state official (officer) garnered enough manpower to corner him and arrest the guy *though it cost another two their lives and three more were injured.*

I am interested. sort of.. How about her?



Name:.............Margaret Gunn
Aliases:...........Mag, Maggie, The Raven
Age:................33
Ethnicity:.........Caucasian (Scotland)
Demeanor:......Bravo, bon vivant, wild card
Disposition:.....Cold, stand offish, cynic, unpleasant

Class:..............Soldier of fortune, berserker, war criminal
Occupation:.....Mercenary

Training:

artillery and munitions handling,
hand to hand and close quarter combat,
marksmanship skills training,
flight training (helo)
espionage,
interrogation,
advanced tactics training.


Background:

Margaret Gunn is a result of a girl, orphaned at an early age. No one in the world to care for her, nor did she care for another. She was raised in numerous orphanages and group homes throughout her entire childhood. One of these in particular had quite an extensive file on Margaret.. The sisters at Saving Grace home for girls described her as "a hard case, with little hope of ever gaining any normality in life" and as "a loner". Her behavior during her early years was antisocial and stand offish, and was entirely pragmatic. Shortly after she became violent and malicious towards others, staff and ward alike. She caused great mental and emotional strain, as well as bodily harm to the other girls and several of the sisters that kept her ward. It was apparent to them that she was a bad seed, and there was nothing that was going to change that. She became highly manipulative and intimidated everyone. Sister Agnes Mary was quoted as saying that "her very presence in the room could send shivers down your neck" and also that "it would be in your best interests to avoid making eye contact"

Psychological Evaluation:

Emotionally Detached, Margaret has been found as being cold and unpredictable. She shows signs of delusion, and also suffers from Manic Bipolar disorder with extreme mood differentiation. She is highly manipulative, and is considered to be very intelligent, thus making her a threat to others in her acquaintance. She has no concept of remorse for her actions,nor shows any signs of sympathy in regards to the well being of others.

It wasn't long before the sisters had made the decision that her behavior could not, and would not be tolerated any longer. Just shy of turning sixteen, the sisters turned her over to the military. A recruiter named Sgt. D. C. Beckett came to Saving Grace home for girls and her care was left in his hands. It wasn't long before she landed a position in a general infantry platoon, where she seemed to excel. It was even noted that she was a model grunt. She breezed through training and she gained rank in great stride. Her behavior on base was not exactly of merit, and she was cited numerous infractions. These infractions were looked over by her performance in the field, and she soon went on to more pertinent training such as advanced tactics training, as well as interrogation training and the art of espionage.
As her training continued she began to flourish into a regular war machine. She was an exceptional soldier, elite in all aspects, though her methods were sometimes questionable and were described as being extreme.
She has also been known to suffer from a condition known to soldiers a being blood drunk, a state of rage where she fades in and out of consciousness and mutters to herself incoherently during battle. She also is know to pray to, and believes in the mythological Valkyrie, and to see her in action, one might wonder whether or not she is right. Some say she is a clairvoyant, and can see moments into the near future, but that is only speculation which she thoroughly denies. Aside from her "issues", she is a top notch soldier, and elite in all aspects of combat.She worked best alone, or in small squads, and wasn't known to be incapable of completing any task given. She was perhaps most affective in the field of interrogation. Again, her methods were not exactly common, but were highly effective.
