Whoops, setting up accounts and forgot to change back before posting. Here's the one I used for the time I was on here while MR was on SV. Surprise!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*stands there, shocked*
*looks to Dante*

I was gonna have you punch through it once she cut it, but... Wow...

*a squad of men inside raise their weapons*

Squad leader: hands up! Don't move!

- guys, its me, relax.

Squad leader:... Shinji? Good to see you, I'm tired of killing these damned things, looks like you took care of th Beserker Reaver behind us.

- *laughs*
Of course, the stupid thing bit me though, martyn over here healed it.

Squad leader: you brought the cavalry, too? Your just on top of it today!

-... So what was it that happened here?

Squad leader: We were waiting for you to show up, when the power shut down, we were hit by a large EMP, and it turned our generator offline. Now that your here, you can get It on, right?

- of course. What was it that attacked you..?

Squad leader: We have footage of the creature, it hacked into the lower level bio-labs and let loose these damned freaks.
Its gruesome, fair warning.

- note taken.

*watches the video, seeing his men dropping left and right, decapitated, diced, every form of death possible. Near the end, it flew towards the camera, showing something that made shinji's skin crawl*

-...I knew this would happen. Why is he here?

Squad leader: he said he needed this ship to get to genesis, and that genesis is key in killing his enemy...

-oh god.. Samus, where is she?

Squad Leader: within a light year, she will be here Within the next half hour.

-thank you. Let's get the systems back online.

*tinkers around for about ten minutes, and within moments after, the generator starts back up, and power is restored*

Good, now we need to head for the lower deck lift, that's our trip to the surface.

Squad leader: ...your leaving us...?

-no, you are coming with us. We've been through a hell of a lot worse than this.

Squad member: ... Your right, let's get going.

@Vampyr

Sjin: I wanna drop to the surface in a tank!
Martyn: Why?
Sjin: It's an homage to the A-Team! Oh, and if we do end up doing that, I'm B.A.!

The sound of a running motor was hard to miss. Rolling down the road was a very rough looking vehicle. It almost looked homemade, and Neptune wouldn't have been surprised if it was considering the driver. An off-worlder whose blue skin color matched the shade of blue that was his natural hair color. He made note f this as he turned to see Stan and his partner had disappeared. He made note of the door that had just closed to the shop across the street, and walked over to see what was going on.

Taking a peek into the bar to make sure they hadn't gone in there, he cracked open the door and poke his head in. No one had really noticed the door opening a little, and he was free to look without attention being drawn to him. A lot of drunkards in here, and even more people on there way to being drunk, he sighed. How could anyone drink their life away without ever having a desire to make a difference in the world? The answer eluded him and he shook his head after assuring his guys weren't in there. He closed the door and looked back at the shop across the street. Lo and behold, he could see through the window that two figures stood in front of the silhouette of a panicked clerk. Neptune's hunch was right, and before he could start running to the shop, the clerk dropped. It didn't take long after that for Neptune to bust through the doors of the shop.

Stan and the stranger turned to see him without a weapon drawn, and made it a point to flash each of their shiny, sharp knives. Neptune calmly stood there without moving towards his weapons. "Put the weapons down and I'll go easy on you," he said, managing to only get a laugh out of the two men. Stan turned his knife upside down and held it by the blade, brought it back, and threw it at Neptune, who ducked out of the way of the blade hurtling towards his head. The two men charged at him, but now only one had a weapon. As the stranger brought his knife back to jab, Neptune stepped to the side, grabbed the strangers head, and slammed it against the wall, knocking him out cold in a single blow. Stan had enough time to land a blow on Neptune's jaw, but it didn't do too much, and Neptune quickly retaliated by grabbing Stan's arm as he went for the next punch, twisting it around behind his back, and pressing him firmly against the door. Helpless, he tried to shake free, but Neptune was stronger than he was and held him against the wall as he grabbed his other hand and held it behind his back. Using a zip tie- yeah, the town didn't have but one pair of handcuffs, and that set was in the possession of some other guard- he tied Stan's hands behind his back. He forced him to lay face first on the floor so he couldn't get up and run very quickly.

Checking to see if the clerk was okay, Neptune walked around behind the counter. Luckily, he had only been punched as his only wound was a broken nose. He breathed a sigh of relief as he then thought about what to do with the two idiotic criminals.

Working on a post aw we speak.

Omnipocalypse [open]

I agree. We need more people who have the time to post here at reasonable intervals.

This thing isn't going todie without the others even posting, right?

Neptune strolled around the "street", looking at the small buildings that made up the settlement. He took note every day of the fact that this place could look better, but at the same time, the place looked better than many of the places he had seen out there. Plus, for as long as he had been here at least, there hadn't been hardly any conflict. The place showed signs of having relatively little recent battles. That either meant that this place was in a geographic sweet spot that made it undesirable or unnoticeable to the ill-willed people out there, ot they had een lucky. And luck only lasts so far.

Neptune looked over at a pair of men hanging out in front of the bar. One of hem he recognized as a regular to the establishment, but the other guy he didn't know. The guy did give him a look that a criminal would have given a cop before the apocalypse. Neptune caught the look and decided to stop by and check things out. "Stan," he said with a nod.

"I've told you time and time again, I hate when people shorten my name. It's Stanislaus," replied the man Neptune recognized.

"Stan's just easier. I'm sure you understand, Stan. Who's your friend?"

"He's no one. Just a passerby asking for directions."

"I see... Well, good talking to you." Neptune said, walking away once more. The guy had either a problem with authority ir something he was trying to hide. Hopefully it is the former, but keeping an eye on a suspicious character gave him something to do. He decided not to go to far and wait.

Ok, here's the plot I thought up. If you guys like it, I'll post the IC with this story.

Twenty miles (32 km) west of Houston lies the town of Johnsville. While there are salvagers in the area, it mainly relies on its Uranium mine to get by. Because they can't produce enough power on site using VAWTs, however, all ore produced there must be shipped to Houston or Ft. Worth for refining, which decreases their profit.
We help them rebuild, and in the process have to salvage a nearby crashed ship in a rad zone and fend off Raiders and Slaver, not to mention zombies.

Edit: Added a tech sheet in case you want to add in tech, and altered my character's mutation a bit to give him a slight healing factor while metabolizing radiation.

@TheUnknowable

Sounds like a great place to start.

Omnipocalypse [open]

I don't see too much of an issue with that.

Omnipocalypse [open]

So, how do you guys want our characters to meet? Should we just say they traveled together to the new settlement for safety-in-numbers reasons, or that they salvage together, or that they entered the town individually and teamed up then?

@TheUnknowable

I quite like the last one. Although, a mix of those could be fun. The two of the older characters could be partners who decide to take in the two younger characters due to the potential they see in them.

PS, sorry for the back to back posts. I don't usually do this.
