[OOC] Of the Last of Us

[Zmerr]

There were so few of them now. Only a few stragglers. Not even enough to justify the title of race. But, to the humans? They all belonged to the same race. The "Non-humans." The term, however non-offensive it might sound, is practically synonymous with the word "dead."

The human government had discovered something called the "microchip" some time ago. They started doing crazy experiments with the things, and before the world knew it, almost everyone had one implanted into their brains. When the human government had decided that they were the superior race, they tuned everyone's microchips to the same frequency. The "chipped" suddenly became hostile to anyone not like them. This included anyone not born of human lineage and those humans born with the ability to perform magic. A war soon broke out. Countless lives were ended. Countless races and species went extinct. The humans literally ruled the world.

They ruled the entire world. Well, except one little plot. The Island of Ruins. The remaining Non-humans fled from the bloodthirsty humans and found safety among the ancient ruins of a long extinct people group.

They now have to survive the dense forest and make livable homes among the mazes and rubble of the deteriorating buildings. All coming from different backgrounds and different parts of the world, it almost seems impossible, but it's amazing what can happen when unfriendlies have a common enemy.

[Whirlwind]

Name: Keela Nole

Age: 24

Race: Wiccan/Witch

Abilities

HEALING: can heal many types of wounds and illnesses, although not all

ELEMENTAL MAGIC:
Spirit- allows her to leave her body during sleep and explore the spiritual realm, gives her an intuition about things when awake
Air- allows her to use her wand to heal birds, can cause fragrances to enter and leave a room, and move the direction of a gust of wind
Water- allows her to move/manipulate water if it is present but never as a weapon
Earth- she has the best green thumb ever, can move small stones without touching them, and can cause a drizzle
Fire- only used in rituals with candles, used in healing, purification, sex, and breaking bad habit spells, and if she gets angry the room will slowly get warmer

Weapon of choice: Magic (she carries a hip bag containing various common healing herbs, oils, roots, etc. ; an athame (ritual knife) ; an ivory wand ; a pentacle necklace ; a small copper chalice ; Book of Shadows ; triple moon bracelet)

Personality: Keela is very caring and nurturing. She often becomes the ‘mother’ of any group she becomes a part of. She is fun loving and optimistic, almost always having a smile on her face. She is serious when needed however, patient, and calm under pressure. She also has a sixth sense of when something is wrong.



Short bio: Keela grew up in a small cottage in the woods of Exmoor in England. She was raised without a father, but grew up under her mother’s direction. Her mother was also a Wiccan, teaching Keela everything she knew. However, Keela’s mother was not a witch. She had no special abilities beyond the herbs and remedies she used. Keela can only assume her father had some sort of magic in his veins and she inherited some that compliments the Wicca her mother brought her up in. Keela’s favorite past times have been and will always be creating herbal remedies, cooking, hiding in the forest when she doesn’t want to be found, gardening, and playing the flute and piccolo. When she wasn’t doing those things though she was helping her mother heal people who came from the surrounding areas to her when traditional medicine failed them. And here in this wild terrain, Keela and her mother lived peacefully, coexisting with nature. Until the humans found them. They were considered a threat to their everyday way of life and attacked. Keela made it out but her mother, well, she has no idea. Keela fled to the Island of Ruins, just wanting to live in peace with others and nature.

Name: Blake Tribe
Age: 25
Race: un-named (will possibly receive a name in the future)
Abilities: His tribe possess 2 natural abilities:
First is that they can transform into an animal (the animal is imprinted as a natural tattoo on the right hand), In Blakes case he has a rare situation where he also possess a second one on his left hand, Right is a Black panther with magical colored blue eyes, Left is a giant anaconda.
Clothes do not transform with them, so he would have to change before transforming and after returning to his human shape he needs to get dressed again.
Second ability is a natural affliction to magic, however they need an object that works as a medium, the objects will determine what kind of actions can be made with the magic, also while using magic they can control their first ability that they can partially transform, In Blakes case use the panther muscles to increase agility and speed or the snakes tong as a sensor, however if they use a real powerful spell, then it will drain them mentally and prevent them from partially shifting for a long time, only able to restore when taking a good break and eating something.
final thing, using his own body as a medium (and adding physical strain) he can slowly and slightly heal others using his own live energy.
Weapon of choice: Short sword (as medium) and katars (for hand to hand fighting) also he has a short staff that hides 2 swords inside.
Personality: can I work on this in the rp?
Appearance: Black hair, a Neon blue eye right and a yellow eye left, a scar covering his entire backside (from a sword attack), further nothing interesting.
Short bio: Blake came from a small tribe where everyone could transform into an animal.
However Blake was an exception, he was not born in the tribe but a child of a banned member (as far as the tribe knows)
In reality his parents were siblings and the children of a banished member themself, due to them being siblings Blake got a double dose of the tribes powers, resulting in 2 animals and with it 2 eye colors (the eye color is determined by the animal they can transform into)
he was left at the edge of the tribe and while they knew he came from someone that was banished, the small infant had done nothing and could not be held responsible for its parents (or grandparents) actions, taking him in and raising him as their own.
they had strong rules in order to protect the tribe as they were the only ones in existence, but someone had betrayed them and a war broke out during the military and the tribe.
Blake barely and reluctantly escaped due to the tribe elder transforming into his animal, a Rock (mythical creature) and practically slinging Blake out of the tribe during the fight, knowing that they were doomed.
The elder had raised Blake and felt that he should sacrifice himself in order to protect the young man.

Blake has been running in his Panther shape since, hating what has happened and partly feeling guilty that the man that raised him sacrificed himself in order to save Blake while Blake might have been the best warrior of the tribe and could possibly have saved more then just himself.

@whirlwind: your picture is not working

[Zmerr]

Both are accepted. Drake, your character kind of sounds like a druid. Is there a particular difference? Love the bios!

[Zmerr]

I suppose i should also post a CS xD

Name: Zmerr
Job Description: Engineer, Inventor
Race: Asura
Special Abilities: Weapon master
Weapon of Choice: Various kinds of guns and lasers
Personality: Cocky , unintentionally humorous, tries to be friendly but often comes across as rude or stuck up.
Appearance: About three feet tall. Short spiky black hair poking out of a bandana that's tied around his head. Black skin with a white patch around his right eye. Big blue eyes. Three toes on each foot and three fingers and a thumb on each hand. Pointed teeth. Someone resembles a goblin.
Age: Unknown
Bio: Zmerr was born and raised in a the rich jungle city of Norann. Despite being surrounded by the jungle, the people of Norann knew little of their surroundings. They often preferred to stay inside. The Asura were creative mecha builders by nature. Being a part of such a class, Zmerr learned and perfected the art of engineering. When he was young, his father was found to be a cheater and left his family shortly after. This dampened Zmerr's attraction to romance to almost non-existent. After her husband left, Zmerr's mother became distant. Due to the lack of his mother's attention, Zmerr became attached to his slightly older cousin, Youmme. Youmme was a trickster and a delinquent. She often teased Zmerr about his unusually petite structure. Even though Zmerr hated his cousin's endless jeers and pranks, she was really the only one to ever pay him any attention. One day, Youmme played a prank on him that changed his life in unimaginable ways. She led him into the jungle, telling him that

[Zmerr]

there was another civilization out there. Blindly, he followed. Being bigger and faster, Youmme easily escaped him and left him in the jungle. Eventually he found his way out.*

It looks like it cut off some of my bio.

[Kira Chan]

Name: Celest
Age: 18
Race: Elf/Witch
Abilities: She is in touch with nature and every so often small white flowers appear when shes happy, wherever she walks, if she is unhappy she will have wilted the flowers or any plants around her. she knows some magic but not much. She can change her apperance but only slightly (Like hair color and body shape) She can communicate with animals. and she knows most if not all the languages on the island
Weapon of choice: 2 daggers and long bow 30 arrows.
Personality: shes mostly really shy and quiet but if you upset her you better run
ApperaNCE:

Celest

Short Bio: She has always been an orpahn but refused to live in an orpanage so she lives in the forest away from the cites, shes grown attached to the beautiful place but she misses having people to talk to so she simply talks to herself and sometimes the animals. the forset is filled with traps that she set up so nobody can hurt her, she lives in the tallest tree in the forest its near the center and she can tell if a trap is sprung because she hooked the vines together so she will be able to find them quickly sometimes its animals but she'd either let them go or kill them for food. nobdy really messes with her only really stupid people or sometimes its the occasinal lost person,

[Zmerr]

Sounds good. Is there anyway to hide the path she leaves behind, Kira? i think that could be potentially dangerous. At the same time, it might make things more interesting. What does everyone else think?

I dont know XD
I created this character for a rp that has died out a month or 2 ago.
Started with just the shapeshift part but he lacked general uses further as he kept the shifting a secret, so a timeskip later I added the other abilities, having been thought that much by 2 people, a female knight and a male mage (who were secretly his parents but never told him, they just recognized his animal marks so they helped him)
so in that way I made him my self with no other concept in mind.
I guess the things that makes him a new race could be points of difference, A druid wont have the animal mark on their hand('s) and have natural born eye color.
I think druids are supposed to become wolfs or bears, so the animals dont fit either.
plus druids use more elemental based magic and summoning, he has magic that gives him control of his transformation so he can partially shift (what I dont think a druid can) and he needs a medium what also determine what he can do with his magic..
so I think he might resemble a druid but still have core based differences XD

also forgot, a little thing with his race, will add it to his bio right away, nothing that would effect his abilities in anyway, just how his tribe looked at themself compared to humans...

Cute! =D

[Zmerr]

One can still kill you by stabbing, yes? If not, then what is/are your weakness(es)?

[Drake Baku]

am not all that sure myself trough, so dont take it all for fact XD
I do know quite a bit about mythical beings but the druid is more a class then a mythical being XD

@kira: nicely made, I do have some thoughts about how Blake would differ, but oh well XD
