Thanks doll! I'm really excited for this. I love the concept.

@Rockette Were all of the characters in training together or were they kept separate?

[closed]

@Noxious He was. A 'proclaimed' hero who eliminated a corrupt scum. I assume male and female inmates are separated as compared to prison facilities in real life. At some point, we can consider that they've met at a place where all inmates of both genders are allowed to be merged. Perhaps at the mess hall or a recreational area.

Relationship-wise, we could say Dach was the only inmate whom Matty spoke with the most. He shared her a lot of stories behind the Capital's charades and how the links of his fiancee's murder were connected to the vice mayor. We can also say that Matty developed a certain kind of friendship with Dach during his time in prison.

@Scoundrel

I'm thinking that Dach would be pretty into meeting someone and hearing stories about the other side of the tracks. She'd also be able to get him things he needed in jail; cigarettes, nail files, books, magic cards, whatever. ;) I like the friendship forced by circumstance. PLUS, who doesn't like a wounded man like Matty?

Kapuria "Ka-Boom" Cortez

19 || Combat Engineer || Jorgen's E & I

Appearance

She didn’t look like a Kapuria, at least not in her own eyes. Kapuria always reminded her of some docile housecat name, which may have been fitting had her life gone down the same path her parents had planned when they gifted her with the name. Seeing as how those plans changed, it just didn’t fit anymore.

The bubble gum haired firecracker had the presence of a small artillery shell. While her sister was subtle, she was everything but. She stood tall, chest out with the gumption of someone lacking the intelligence that would tell her to be afraid. She kept her hair in loose braids or pulled back most of the time, for convenience sake. It allowed a clear view of her eyes as bright and blue as the crystal peeking out from the seabed; at least when they weren’t covered in sunglasses. You could see her unshakable confidence brimming from a twisted little grin that tugged at youthful colored lips.

Her attire usually consisted of vibrant colors, tight fitting shirts under loose jackets with utilitarian pants and hiking boots. Of course, when out in the wilderness she muted her color choices, though always with a pout. She kept a bandana around her neck, useful as a face mask when necessary.

Her general predilection was towards a sweet and bubbly personality that spilled over into her appearance; but that was only a facet of her being. She was completely capable of donning a serious expression, eyebrows forced downward and lips pursed. In this state a barrier flowed from her like waves and her small form became a volatile thing; better left undisturbed.

Biography

41AF . . Born to an engineer father and a scholar mother. Both of her parents were integral members of the Junction Point community. Childhood wasn't the same after the fall of the crystals but her parents did what they could to teach their children about the world without depriving them of the joy and carelessness of youth.

52AF . . She was 11 when Junction Point was ransacked. Her sister and three other children from Junction Point survived because they were out playing in the caves when the raiders came. They remained hidden, watching the destruction from afar. A couple days later two of the children headed back towards town and were captured by the raiders. Their fate is unknown. The remaining three waited it out in the caves for two weeks before sneaking home.

52-58AF . . Surviving alone definitely changed the girls. Lola did her best to keep them unseen and "safe" while Ka-boom and Dezi did the more practical stuff. That is, until 54AF when Dezi was captured. Rescue attempts were unsuccessful and Dezi's whereabouts are unknown; presumed dead. Though you couldn't tell today, this was one of the darkest times for Ka-Boom. She became noticeably more violent and aggressive, seeking the destruction of the raiders. Ka-Boom got into explosive type weapons because the two of them weren't strong enough to fight conventionally and she got into repair and modification because they didn't have access for new tech. They adapted to stay alive. They became rather well stocked by using Lola's ability to secretly pilfer through raider camps. They used a cave system near Junction Point that both girls know like the back of their hand. They left cache's of supplies scattered about the caves in case things go to shit again.

58AF . . Joins Ambrosia, originally taken in by the Pledge who cares for them and rehabilitates her sister. Ka-boom had grown to distrust everyone but Lola, she went along with them for Lola's sake. She blames herself for Lola's loss of control, knowing that Lola never would have pushed herself in such a way if she hadn't been trying to protect her sister. She may seem bubbly, if not reckless, but when it comes to protecting her sister she is all teeth and claws.

59AF . . Rejoining "civilization" had it's struggles. Many people found Ka-boom to be bristling, to say the least. She grew to be fascinated with people and became aggressively social; though she was even more intrigued with weapons knowledge. She took an apprenticeship for Jorgen's. She gets paid for any work outside the walls, but work inside the walls is paid for in training, education and gear.

ASRA

Original design created pre-Crystal Fall but adapted by scientists within Ambrosia. A.S.R.A.’s have many different functions but this one is specifically modified to analyze damage/flaws in weaponry and offer solutions. It’s programming is mostly made up of a compendium of calculators; math, physics and theoretical formulas. A.S.R.A. is about the size of a palm; built like a spider so that each of its arms functions with a different gauge. Has the ability to self-repair. Gained in a trade for labor.

Other

Carlfred

Pet; Carlfred.
Youthful and energetic post-CF creature. Vocalizes in a manner similar to owls, but has a puppy like demeanor and coat. Beneath the pads on it’s feet are some pretty killer claws. Carlfred does not serve any real purpose. Purchased from a tamer in Ambrosia.

@NoxiousMatty was placed behind bars after he shot the Captial's vice mayor during his court trial. Not really an avid criminal activity but there can be some possible connections..

@Scoundrel

Shooting the Vice Mayor would have made Matty quite a celebrity in jail I can imagine. I'm sure Dach would have known who he was. Not sure if they would have separate areas for male and female inmates but I'm also not sure if it would matter to the overall RP to fudge it and say we met behind bars?

[closed]

If anyone thinks they may have had ties to criminal activity prior to the SOLDIER program we should tie in our character's background, but other than that I'm also good with past relationships. I feel like most of the other characters were more upstanding prior to the SOLDIER program than Dach was. :(

Terra Magica (Open/Accepting Players!)

Sorry about the delay. I should have my character sent to you very very shortly. :)

Terra Magica (Open/Accepting Players!)

@Hellis Ok. Since we are going as sisters you lovely devil you, I was thinking of making their father an engineer. Do you have a preference on the mother?

Terra Magica (Open/Accepting Players!)

So, I am going as a combat engineer that mainly focuses on weaponry and has a thing for explosives. I also think I am going to make her an apprentice for Jorgens, if that is okay? She was kind of a sloppy engineer that just did what she could and so she requires the training.

@NoxiousFunny thing is that a lot of people liken my writing to Lovecraft, but I've never read any of his works before.

@Raijinslayer

You can find his works for free online and he has some pretty quick reads. I would check him out. He describes the indescribable in a very interesting way.

"When I drew nigh the nameless city I knew it was accursed. I was traveling in a parched and terrible valley under the moon, and afar I saw it protruding uncannily above the sands as parts of a corpse may protrude from an ill-made grave. Fear spoke from the age-worn stones of this hoary survivor of the deluge, this great-grandfather of the eldest pyramid; and a viewless aura repelled me and bade me retreat from antique and sinister secrets the no man should see, and no man else had dared to see..."
-Opening paragraph of The Nameless City
