The World's Prison

James Hunter

---

Three men had gathered around James, he hadn't seen them before. 'They must be new or else they'd have never had the courage to approach me.' He thought as he studied the three men.

The man on the left was fairly big and thick of arm with a scar running down on his face. 'He's their muscle." He thought as he studied the man in the middle. A skinny and bald man who looked like he hadn't eaten in a long while, yet he was grinning and his brown eyes shone with mischief. 'This one is their leader.' He thought, betraying no emotions.

The last man looked like a regular Joe, he wasn't especially strong, especially handsome, nor did he look all that smart. 'A mystery man... a dead mystery man if he's not careful.'

"Hello, big man!" The man in the middle greeted. "Meet my friend, Bull, the strongest man in this dump." He waved a hand at the large man. "But Bull doesn't like competition, you see and you are just that!"

As the man was talking, James approached Bull, towering over all three of them, even Bull. He was right in front of Bull, he was wide of shoulder, had thick arms but he was a head and a half shorter than he was.

"What he proposes is a match to see who is strongest, the wi..." but James moved deceptively fast, faster than anyone at his size would normally move. His fist connected with the Bull's skull and heartbeat later a crack was heard.

The Bull flew two feet back, with a slightly caved in forehead... he was dead. The small man almost instantly fouled his pants and started running. The mystery man had a devious grin before he ran after the small man.

'I just wanted to find me some food... not kill someone, well not now.' He thought and kept wandering the streets in search of unclaimed food, claimed food as well, to claim it from it's owner. It was just another day in prison for him.

Point of No Return (Extreme Great Depression Alternate History)

@Blekee

Actually, thanks to the worsening situation, the population lost some faith in the general government and Maximillian seemed a far better and more charismatic option than the other political parties did.

It wasn't much of a civil war if the armies sent against him joined him instead. It's like when Napoleon returned from Elba and every French army sent against him joined him instead.

Point of No Return (Extreme Great Depression Alternate History)

The Third Mexican Empire

Name: The Third Mexican Empire

Flag and Map

Government Ideology: Absolute Monarchy

Leader: Maximillian IV

Rough Population: 29 million

Capital: Mexico City

History of Your Nation since start of Great Depression:

Mexico, initially hadn't been to badly affected by the Great Depression too much, with signs that the industry and the economy would recover and even improve for a time. And amazingly, they did just that, the economy improved and was on the rise.

However, with the new president Abelardo L. Rodriguez(who took office in 1932) failed to keep up the improvement of the nation and soon, the economy was back on the decline yet again.

In the date of 16 of September, a man arrived in the south of Mexico, claiming to be the grand-nephew of the Emperor of the Second Mexican Empire. His name was Maximillian the IV and claimed the rightful rule of Mexico.

He held a speech, saying that the corrupt democratic rule of current Mexico would see the country fracture into weaker and poorer disparate states, easy targets for any country. With that, he promised that he would bring Mexico to great heights, making it the strongest state in both North and South America.

A lot of the common people, whose situation had been worsening, had joined Maximilian in hopes that he would fulfill his promises. The president, seeing the claimant emperor heading towards the capital with tens of thousands of people following him.

So, Abelardo ordered the army to arrest Maximillian IV if possible, if not, he could kill him and the crowds would disperse. Soon, an army of 2.000 infantry and 45 tanks headed in the direction of the emperor.

However, the officer at the head of that army, joined up with the emperor. And in a situation reminiscent of Napoleons return to France after his defeat in Russia, the following three armies sent towards him also joined the president.

Seeing the situation, Alberado resigned as President when Maximillian arrived in the capital. The population cheered the emperor as he entered the city. Maximillian soon dissolved the previous government and named himself Emperor of the Third Mexican Empire.

For the following years until 1937, Maximillian decided to blame the woes of the country on the United States and it's people and started to import more modern equipment from other more developed countries, even surrounding himself with many more progressive advisors, be they Mexican, be they foreign.

Soon, the military and industry of Mexico began to develop and while still not the equal of a unified United States, the separated states now were starting to prove a very good prize for the Mexicans to seize.

At the start of the hear 1937, Emperor Maximillian IV ordered the mobilization of the army to prepare for war.

The World's Prison

Do you mind if I make one?

Iykos

Name: James Frost

Alias: Iykos (greek for Wolf)

Age: 23

Personality: Reclusive and Isolated, Iykos is a solitary person without much experience with other people. He avoids long conversations and large groups, and only keeps in contact with a few associates, although still kept distant.

Ruthless and Intelligent, he is also highly in tune to the flow of information around the city and had dirt on a lot of people that he wouldn't hesitate to use if needed (including James and Clover Mae Tarvelli, James Hunter and Bishop Wallace, if @MissCapnCrunch, @Claw2k11 and @King Tai don't have a problem with it) but is intelligent enough remain hidden.

When pushed past his limit, he becomes cold, violent and sociopathic, often taking brutal revenge against the person who pushed him.

Appearance:

Appearance

All-black suit with purple scarf and tie. Silver cufflinks shaped like howling wolves

Bio: Raised in the rougher areas of London, England he learned by the age of 15 how to keep himself out of trouble and managed to scrape his way into one of the nicer schools in the area, rapidly climbing to the top 25% in his class and becoming a top scoring member of the archery club. On the outside, he was simply a quiet teen with nothing better than play video games and hang out with his small group of friends. He even had a relationship with a girl his age, who came from the nicer area of the city and went to the same school. In reality, he was involved with cyber crime under the screen name Iykos as part of the Hackavist group Wolf Den, looking into exposing the truth about the World's Prison.

Wolf Den Logo

He wasn't caught until he was 19. The crackdown came off the back of a revenge plot he had executed against three men that had raped his long-term girlfriend and left her for dead. After they had bragged about the crime on an underground chat server, he back-traced their IPs and crippled their entire digital lives, including their bank details and personal info. He then forced them into the open and used a commercial fire-axe to murder two of them and leave the third crippled for life. He was arrested shortly after the 4 year anniversary of his relationship while visiting his comatose girlfriend.

His life inside the city was fairly standard, with various power struggles and such. He spent the next 4 years collecting information, equipment and skills. He now has a small network around the city, with a few connections outside. He is also a fairly skilled shooter with handguns and rifles, but only average with any automatics or other weapons.

Misc: Has a recurve bow, modified .308 L1A1 and .45 ACP M1911 hidden in his den/hideout for self-defence purposes, since those are what he's best with. Also carries a silver ring on his right middle finger, a gift from his girlfriend.

Let me know if it's any good, or if I need to change anything.

The World's Prison

James Hunter

Name: James Hunter

Alias/Nickname: The Crusher

Age: 34

Personality: A man who likes to force people to do what he says. If not he warns them by breaking one of their limbs, if they refuse again, they'll pop their head like a watermelon and be done with it.

Appearance:This

Bio: James is a man born to lead... or at least that's what he forces people to say unless they want to get killed. Before he was in jail, he was a participant of a illegal fight club and he liked what he did... mostly because he couldn't lose to anyone. When the government came to arrest him and all his friends, he killed two officers and wounded five more before he was tranquilized and sent off to prison... that was at the age of 30.

During the four years he served, he established a very fearsome reputation, refusing to be part of any one gang, instead accepting currency from people that wanted his protection. In his four years in prison, he already killed 89 other inmates and sent 142 other in critical condition to the hospitals. Nobody, not even other gangs want to be on his bad side, often hiring him for various missions around the vast prison.

Now, he's just waiting his next mission and the next man he can crush the head off.

Definitely interested!

Point of no Return (Extreme great depression alternate history)

This does sound right up my alley. Count me interested.

EDIT: Oh and dibs on Texas... or Hawaii.

Freedom In The Stars: Deathbound (Suicide Squad inspired sci-fi adventure)

You mean my character? Well, I'm planning to have a very large cyborg reptilian(7-8 feet tall) with a very bad temper and in for the slaughter of over 341 civilians, 82 police officers, the destruction of 24 Police Vehicles, the destruction of an entire police precinct, etc.

He was supposed to be executed, but since he is a killing machine, he was to be sent on a mission where his skills would serve best. He was caught when he eventually became too exhausted to fight.

Freedom In The Stars: Deathbound (Suicide Squad inspired sci-fi adventure)

Eh, OP is a relative term, especially in a setting that encompasses a whole galaxy. Depends on how horrible the missions will be. Plus i bet such a swarm will be severely downsized and restricted in its abilities by failsafe systems inbuilt into it by the security staff.

@Eyeruption

Well, I'm not the GM or anything, so it's not up for me to decide, but it would still be a tad too OP.
