You know how they say that most stories start with once upon a time? Well, this one does too. Kinda.

Once upon a fucking time, our government thought they could easily cure the problem that years and years of messing with Earth and treating her like trash had done. Leave it to our leaders to try to put a band-aid on things that need real attention.

Water filters? Nope- that will hurt our poor fish!

Windmills? Nope- that will hurt our defenseless birds!

Nuclear implosions? Sure! That can't possibly go wrong.

Nuclear test after nuclear test to clean up the smog invading us had proven to be actually working (holy shit!) and people were quite excited for the progress! It was almost like the human race weren't as dumb as we thought. It wasn't until N10 (the 10th round of "cleansing") that things started to become clear that this was not as great as things appeared. These creatures- no, monsters began appearing by the nuclear sites. They came from the ground, popping out like daisies at every vibration on the ground!

Scientist after scientist began disappearing.

Then the people that went looking for those scientists began vanishing.

Once all those people were gone, and people stopped looking for them any more- the monsters began to get hungry for flesh again. They traveled into the cities, they multiplied, they took our parents, they took our children, they took our civilizations.

It had been 30 years since N10 and all this madness began. Not many people remember a time before what our world was. Not many people live that long anymore, at least none that we've seen lately. We can only hope there is someone out there with the answers we need. There had only been rumors of a save haven in Maine where the people had ridden the place of those creatures..

All we can do now is keep alive and hope we get our happily ever after.




The "langue" is the monster that has been terrorizing us for 30 some years now. We're not sure who came up with it but a guy once told us it meant tongue in french. He might have been just a pervert, but it kind of make sense. The thing has a tongue that is long and uses it just like a snake to taste the things in the air

It's body resembles something between a human, lizard, and bird. Nothing humans had seen before. It's teeth are sharp and tears through flesh and any other material that it can sink into it. Recommended that you don't try to go to battle with it from close combat, you'll lose.

They seem to only feast during the night time but can be seen traveling during the day. They are never not active. If you feel the ground under you rumbling you better head the other fucking way, or get to high stable ground. We witnessed a guy trapped in a hole one of these monsters dug and he had to wait there until nightfall until the creature could come and eat him. It was sickening. They are smart and crafty, do not be fooled.

We don't know much about killing these things, but we managed to shoot the eye out of one of them. It seemed to slow him down a bit, but also made him angrier. No gun can penetrate his armor skin, his weak spots are his eyes and his mouth when it's open- but by then it's probably too late for you.

Maybe someone will find a way to delete the world of them.

Rules

▸ This roleplay is mature- that means there will be blood, violence, etc. However, All RPG rules apply.

▸ An obvious one: No Godmodding or powerplaying. Control your own character, nobody likes their characters being forced to do stuff they didn't intend on doing.

▸ Please respect the GM and co-GM. If we ask you to change something on your CS or in your post, don’t take it personal- there’s a very good reason for it! We're nice people, no need to push our buttons. PLEASE RESPECT ONE ANOTHER. I don't mind drama and fighting in the IC, but I will not deal with it in the slightest in the OOC.

▸ Absolutely no one liners- that kinda kills a roleplay.

▸ Roleplaying is supposed to be fun, so let's have some freaking fun!

▸ PM one of the GMs if you can’t post for awhile, we don’t like being left in the dark!


Character Sheets

Please delete any thing in parenthesis within the character sheet before posting.

Name: Len Sclera
Age:27




Personality:

*loyal
*puts family first
*Always keeps his promises
*Stays calm under pressure
*Resourceful

*Impulsive
*Smart ass
*Loves a good fight (which can sometimes lead to trouble)
*Can sometimes be somewhat paranoid and doesn't trust easily
*Loves to smoke and drink (and occasionally do other drugs, mostly hallucinogenic)
*Can sometimes be childish

Biography:

"We just head up them hills over yonder. And ifn' one of them goddamn earthworms try to eat us...well hell, we had a good run, ain't that right Iris?"

Len Sclera never knew the old world. There's probably not many left alive that do. He grew up in the time of the Langue, of horror beyond imagining. An era of giant underground creatures that rise up at night to feed--and humans are it's favorite food. Sclera was just a child when the colony he was with was slaughtered. He watched as his best friend, Jacob Ryan, was swallowed hole. Of course, he doesn't remember much because he was just 2 years old. Still, he knows he had a good friend, and he knows he lost him.

It was during that time his mother took in a young infant. It was chaos, people screaming, people dying. And his mother, through it all, kept her head and saved a child. That child was Iris, and Len would come to look at her like a sister. In fact, it wouldn't be too long, and she'd be all he had left.

Growing up in this new world, only his mother and newfound sister, would prove to be harsh. As Len got older, he grew more and more protective of both Mom and Iris. He grew up tough, haggard, willing to knock the crap out of anyone who even gave the women in his life a sideways glance. There was more than once he kept bandits away with a simple broken jaw or kick to the kneecap. Of course, it wasn't too long before they met another group. And then Len would learn to be civil. Or as civil as he could be, anyway. Being the "Man" of the house at a young age, Len learned to fight real fast. In fact, he came to enjoy it. Of course, he brought home his fair share of bloody noses, but in his case the adage "you should've seen the other guy" always rang true. Iris was always there, however, to keep him from getting into too much trouble. She was known to be reliable around camp, and she was always able to use her good reputation to keep Len from getting banished from the group on the occasion he took a fight -slightly- too far. As protective as he was of Iris, they took care of each other. Even if neither one wanted to admit to how much they relied on the other.

When his mother finally died, along with the rest of the group their group, Len was once again alone, save for Iris. He would never admit to it, but the loss of his home, and all those he held close, hit him hard. He'd had friends, damn good ones too. And this time, he was well old enough to have those haunting memories forever. Biting back the feelings, bottling them up somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew what he had to do. Whispers and rumors had long been in the air of some sort of possible weapon to use against the Langue. Len couldn't lose Iristo these things. If there was a chance to exterminate the bastards, he wanted to see it done. And he wanted to make sure Iris was safe. Virginia. That was a good starting point. Rumors pointed in that direction, and it was there he would follow. To his death? Maybe, but if it was his turn to die, long as he kept Iris safe, it was worth it to him.

Relationships:

Iris Barrett

The girl that he grew up with. Len's best friend, she's like family to him. He trusts her implicitly, and is willing to do *anything* for her--even if that means jumping into the gaping maw of a langue and ripping it's tongue out.


Michael Sanders
(deceased)

Used to be a good friend of Len's, when his mother found the camp of people after rescuing Iris. They met not long after joining the community, an became fast friends. On the rare occasion that Len couldn't be found with Iris, he was likely with Michael. And when he *was* with Iris, there was a good chance Michael was somewhere nearby as well.

When the Langue invaded camp, Michael pushed Len out of the way as the creature's tongue lashed out--it wrapped around him, pulling him into it's crushing jaws. Michael didn't stand a chance, but he did save Len's life--and that's something he will never forget.

I'd also like to tell everyone applying that there are several ways we form the big group:
(Let me know what you guys would like to do)

Since Len & Iris are already together, and are now in Virginia- this is where we are forming our big group.

1) You can all be individuals that we meet along the way.
2) You can be all one group already with relationships
3) You can have mixed groupings (ie: 1 pair, and 1 individual)

ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM!! :D

Iris Jane Barret


Age: 25

Personality:

+ Reliable
+ Energetic
+ Loyal
+ Takes Care Of Her Own
+ Not Afraid To Dive Into Things

- Dirty
- Anger issues
- Close Minded
- Speaks Before She Thinks
- Doesn't Give Second Chances

Biography: Everyone had told Iris' mom (Jane) that she had been idiotic and selfish to bring a child into the world at a time like this. "You're no better than the langue for doing this to not only our group, but that thing!" her husband (Bryan) yelled at her, like he hadn't added to the making of this child. News flash, he had. The two fought and fought, making the morale of their original Alabama raised rag tag group of survivors tired and their morale lower. "If you don't want this child, you don't want me!" Jane screamed at the group, as they had to stop for the eighteenth time that night traveling for her to relieve her bladder. The group nodded,

"You're right. We don't."

Jane was left on the side of the road as the group and her once beloved husband left her to die. Jane found refuge in another group traveling by many weeks later. She had been close to death, surviving by scrounging for food and water off the floors of abandoned trailer homes. She found comfort with another mother of this group that had rescued her, This woman had been carrying a child who was no more than 2 years old at the time of their meeting.

Iris was born on a November night on the floor of a gas station. Her mother gagged to stop the screaming to not cause too much attention from the langue that lurked under the ground waiting for their next victim. "Come on Jane"! the woman whispered harshly, her hand gripping tightly in encouragement. The rest of the group looked on, gathering what supplies they could as well as keeping an eye out for other people that might cause trouble. After about 30 minutes Iris was born, her cries met with different reaction than most children. "Shut her up!" a man growled, and the woman took action. Taking Iris and trying to quiet her.

The almond eyed baby looked up at this woman with a sense of comfort and the woman smiled, "Oh Jane, she's beautiful." she whispered, looking down at the friend she had made in the six months they had been together. "Jane?" the woman asked when she had no response. Jane was unresponsive. "Help!" the woman called out to her group, and was responded with the words she did not expect. "We have to go!" another man called, "They are coming, they are here!" A cracking in the tile gas station floor revealed a gaping hole.

A langue reached out it's tongue and rolled around Jane's lifeless face. The woman stared in horror, unable to move. It then sunk it's teeth into Jane's face, quickly, returning back into it's hole. "There will be more! HURRY!" another woman of the group grabbed Iris and the arm of the shocked woman.

They began to move up onto the roof of the building as quickly as they could. All they could do was watch as the langue fed off anything and anyone that was down on the ground. "I'm so sorry" the young woman said to Iris as she held her own child in one arm and the new born baby in the other. "We'll take care of you" she said, her young son exploring the infant himself.

She kept her promise.

The woman raised Iris as best as she could for as long as she could. Iris had her mother's stubbornness and her father's temper. She was a handful for the woman, but she would never give up. She would not let a few tantrums and a few given whoopings' break her.

The boy would be raised right along side Iris, the two became close and thought of one another as brother and sister. He was protective of Iris, even though she would never admit it, she'd tell everyone she took care of him- if anything. By the time Iris was 10, they had made their way to South Carolina, losing all of their group including the woman and man that had raised her in a day that would only be referred to as "the day".

Together the two remaining souls of the group made their way up to Virginia before they would be met with the group they would now join- for who knows how long, and if they would make it to Maine- where the rumored safe land was.

"Don't count on it assholes."


Relationships:

  • Len Sclera:

    • Len is Iris' best friend and "brother" by all means. He watches her back, and in turn she watches his. She doesn't remember any time within her life that Len wasn't around- besides when he was hanging with Michael. They have a close bond, but it won't be a big surprise to see the two fighting both verbally and physically time to time. Especially when Iris thinks Len is being 'stupid'.

    • Shit about that person goes here


  • Name of Person 3 Goes Here:

    • Shit about that person goes here


  • Name of Person 4 Goes Here:

Thanks for your interest! Here is a pretty vague idea of animals for us;

Aerial animals: Safe!
Aquatic animals: Safe!
Small and large daytime animals: Moderately Safe!
Nocturnal animals: High Risk!

Name Corbin Verrone
Age 25

Personality:
+Reliable- If asked to do something he will damn well give it his best shot.

+Cautious- Hell with being a hero, it won’t matter if you’re dead!

+Generous- Damn I’m hungry, holding his last candy bar, Small girl stares at him, yeah here you go.

+Sophisticated- Yes, I know it takes twelve turns of the chronometer, plug in the eradicator, then set the meter to three
thousand microtones and then fucking run! I wasn’t born yesterday!

+Tolerant- Okay now I’m going to explain this for the one-hundredth time and if you don’t get it, I shall tell you again for the one-hundredth
and one time.

-Suspicious- They were all standing there when the damn thing disappeared, One of those fuckers took it!
-Unselfish- sometimes gives too much away.
-Haughty- What do you mean you can’t tell me what ten thousand to the forth is without a calculator! Blah
-Compulsive- Langue…Kill them all! Fucking kill them all!
-Humorless- I don’t get it! That was lame!

BIO: NYC 1-432 was the colony name where Corbin was born and grew to the age of five when it was destroyed by the Langue. His parents were MIA that day, if it wasn’t for Karri’s parents Corbin himself would be on one of the two lists that were developed for the citizens of NYC 1-432. Karri was his neighbor friend that he would go and play with most of the time. They were of the same age when he lost his parents and from that time on, he had a new family, one that treated him as if he was one of their own.

As time went on, Karri and himself grew closer as friends and were reminded time after time that they were brother and sister, but to them that wasn’t so, they were friends whom under extreme circumstances forced them into one family but were not blood so they allowed the love between them to grow. Karri is the one to blame for the way that Corbin is today for if it weren’t for her, he would have grown up hating everyone and everything. But she was his savior, but he wasn’t hers for when they just turned eighteen, the newly formed colony NYC 2 -1 was overran by scavengers looking for a place to call their own, this was the day that Karri was lost to him as they were trying to stop these low-life people.

He had to flee the colony with just a few others but that was just for a few days as each member of the small group went their own way or died as the food ran low and the weak couldn’t handle the stress. So after a few weeks Corbin was traversing over the land by himself, trying to stay ahead of the game by keeping low and watching for a group of people that looked like they could handle themselves.

Relationships: None at this time.

Some announcements for everyone:

Just a friendly reminder that this roleplay will be starting in VIRGINIA, USA. LoneSilverWolf and I have quite a lot of events and story archs in the works- so don't worry about things becoming too stagnant. :) We got a lot up our sleeves! Also, I'd like to reiterate that this roleplay will be pretty light-hearted and comedic at times. Think Borderlands or Fallout mixed with Tremors.

We want moments that make us cry with laughter, and moments that make us cry with emotion. :)

Thanks guys!

Ooh, very interesting character so far!
(: Loving that we are getting all ages and personalities.

----

Towards everyone;

If any of you want to have previous relationships with any other characters that have applied- speak up with one another! The roleplay will be starting in Virginia which has been made into a state that is controlled by a very strong leader who wants anyone who isn't in his group- DEAD.

(This will be one of the first obstacles we have to overcome as a group- along with the langue)

Think of where your character would be in this situation as we start to get closer to the IC-

Would you be new to Virginia like Len and Iris?
Would you have spent your time hiding from this leader and his minions?
Are you a member who is trying to escape the tyrant of the group?

(: Things to consider as well!
