[OOC] The Day The Earth Fell

[TheCheshire]

@ pyroman: I'm thinking it would be a really good idea. The Paradise Land could be place with its back against the Mississippi river. It's not salt water, it would be a good defensive move.

I also love the layout of the city, they could use the skeleton of the remaining city for whatever they needed.

If you know who Blight from Batman Beyond is, similar to that. Basically, he would be able to emit radiation both generally, and in concentrated waves and beams. However, this causes his skin to progressively fall off as he uses it, until he is nothing but a glowing skeleton. He would be able to regrow skin lost in this manner over time though. He would also be able to absorb concentrated amounts of radiation, with the opposite effect of causing tumors on his skin which eventually will fall off. I also have no problem with the populace despising him because of this.

[TheCheshire]

Hmm! I'm really glad that you used a Batman character as a reference, I luff Batman. =)

You know, the city does need a type of power source to light the city or something along those lines.

My IC post is up! :]

Still trying to come up with a second character that I want running around happily in "Paradise".

[docblargle]

I like it. I'll write up a character post.

@ Exit: Very nice!

@ doc: I'll be waiting!!

Heeeey Cheshire Kitteh...

Another question: What's the maturity rating for this game? PG13 for yelling out "Fudge!" after you've caught your favorite character Eskimo kissing another? R for heavy cussing and the limbs of your favorite characters being severed with the blood oozing out of the open wound, showering the ground in a torrent of red?

Rated R. All the cool kids do it. :3

[TheCheshire]

It's gonna have to be R all the way.
I cuss like a fucking sailor. So, I like my characters to share in my colorful vocab.
=)

[TheCheshire]

And blood, I like blood. Lol.

Perfect! My characters tend to drool rainbows. Didn't want to offend anyone :]

[TheCheshire]

Lol! I get in trouble on a daily basis for my language.
But I don't think anybody should be offended on here.
I mean We're all adults, or at least I'm assuming we are.
Lol.

:.People Say.:
Jacob talks to no one. Period. It doesn't help that his "gift" leaves him shunned by most of the city. If you can somehow get a word out of him, he is curt, and to the point. He doesn't enjoy social interaction, and he won't tell you his life story because you asked nicely. Given the choice, he would keep to himself. Which is good, because the city doesn't give him a choice and avoids him anyway. If you somehow managed to get on his good side, however, he would at least tolerate your presence, and maybe even say something.
:.The Past Was.:
Jacob doesn't remember much of his early life. His first distinct memory is his father carrying him through a long metal corridor, with a loud noise in the background. His next one is him lying in the red wastes next to his father. He wasn't moving. He was then picked up by another man, who Jacob would come to know as Miles. Miles and Jacob walked through the red wastes together from then on, always moving from camp to camp. Miles taught him how to survive in the wastes on their own; how to find food and clean(ish) water. How to fight bandits. Most importantly, he learned how to avoid the Dead. Miles also taught Jacob about technology, and showed him how to work a few strange devices he carried with him, including a portable water purifier.

When Jacob was twelve, life as he knew it shattered. A bandit group that they had stolen food from when they were desperate caught up with them and captured them. They executed Miles immediately, and in front of Jacob. They were preparing to throw Jacob to the dead when he suddenly screamed in pain. Massive amounts of radiation poured out of Jacob, killing everyone in the camp and reducing Jacob to a glowing skeleton. Only he wasn't dead. But Jacob couldn't reflect on this miracle, as the dead were closing in. Jacob grabbed what supplies he could, and ran without looking back.

For two years, Jacob survived on his own, without any assistance from anyone. He found that his skin was growing back from his "incident", and he could discharge and absorb radiation at will, though it screwed up his body. He found he was unaffected by outside radiation now, so he began to hunt with his new powers. This left him in a constant state of disfigurement, with parts of his skin missing. Eventually, he chanced upon the Paradise Lands. He stumbled up to the walls half a skeleton, and was nearly shot because his looked like one of the dead. It turned out he was one of the "blessed ones". However, his power proved "controversial", as it represented the very thing rotting the world. Fortunately, a compromise was reached. Due to his knowledge of technology, Jacob would be allowed to stay as a blessed one so long as he used his power to maintain the nuclear power plant to help power the city.
:.What You See.:

:.Behind The Scenes.:
Jacob's constantly regrowing skin has left him with no unique skin marks of any. He has completely unblemished skin. At least, when he has skin.

[TheCheshire]

Accepted!!
I love it.
It makes me feel bad for him though! I wanna hug him.
