Hey everybody, how are those posts coming?
As much as I was hoping to move forward with this RP I'll be dropping out as RL shit is pretty much taking away from zoning out and playing on the internet. O.o

It’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

“There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning and making new combinations indefinitely; but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages.”

Careful. I've heard she's been known to force choke anyone who stares at them for too long.
So I'm thinking, @Aeonumbra, that Alex isn't all that keen on leaving the Refuge for the scav trip, but perhaps is prodded oh-so-gently by Elijah because of his particular skillset, and the fact that he's a Lawkeeper.
“Stand. The Hell. Back.” The tall Enforcer Agent was only inches from the others face. “I won't ask you again, bud.”
Alex had been at it for over an hour, the Second Watch, or more appropriately this time around, “babysitter duty”, as news of the supposedly secretive operation was spilled and swept through the Refuge like a wildfire. Lawkeepers were needed at various points just to keep those with crazy ideas from, in fact, executing those crazy ideas. Just when you thought the community was large enough for rumors to thin their way out to the point of fading into the wasteland backdrop, they do just the opposite. Freakin’ people with nothing better to do than gossip about shit they didn't fully understood anyway. And what's worse? Half of them don't even have their story straight.
“Look people.” Alex raised his hand hoping to grab the multitudes attention, his voice becoming slightly hoarse from a mixture of the cool dry air and having to speak over the crowds. “You've heard the call from Command but we need to keep cool while they finish sorting out who's going where.”
He and the other Lawkeepers didn't expect a sudden rush of volunteers, but people were still antsy nonetheless, especially those who've been stuck behind the walls for awhile. Alex, however, had only been a part of the community for less than a month, settling down nicely in a three-story tenement that had probably seen better days before the world went sideways. Before. When society took things like water, food, and toothpaste for granted, and paid obscene amounts of money for a cup of hot joe on our way to a job we didn't really like. In retrospect, he wished he'd had a job back then that was more the equivalent of a daily grind, than a “hired gun” since you never really knew if you'd make it home with the latter career choice. But, the choice really wasn't his and he paid for that mistake in more ways than he'd ever care to admit. On the bright side, he supposed, life gave him rotten lemons, so he took those lemons and made several gallons of deadly lemonade, distributing a tall glass in the form of a bullet to each of the lowlifes who decided it was a good idea to destroy his family. The blood that day wouldn't wash away, but he didn't want it to because he never wanted to forget who or what he was fighting for.
Alex couldn't figure out why anyone would want to leave Refuge, but it was a necessary suicide mission he supposed. He'd been fine behind the safety of the walls, eeking out a life, or at least surviving long to have a possible future life. He'd been living a partial lie since entering through the gates of Refuge dressed in the guise of a prison law enforcement officer, the ruse continued, which allowed him a position into the Lawkeepers, an ironic twist considering his many years as a mafia gunman. Alex TreVayne wasn't a model citizen, nor did he necessarily believe what he was presently doing would make any difference in the end, but he was there to help wherever he was needed nevertheless, and hopefully atone for a past life of bloodshed.

Nice intro IC @Aeonumbra! I'll have my post up hopefully by tomorrow.
Yep, count me as one of the interested.
Also, out of curiosity, what makes this an "anime/manga" (aside from the artwork you've used), since that was one of the tags? Is it based off of specific fanfic?

The current year is 37 BBY, 5 years prior to the Naboo Invasion by the Trade Federation.
Just stumbled upon this today, and I'm pretty happy with the outline you have so far, although I was curious if any part of the "Legends" can be added into the story, or are we going with strictly canon?
Impressive to say the least. It has a sort of Earthdawn meets World of Darkness vibe to it, but otherwise I'm really digging your twist on the human/elf/dwarf & supernatural creatures (Vamps/Werewolves) archetypes. I didn't quite get through the timeline, but what I've read it sounds pretty awesome. Although I'm still wrapping my head around it :)
Although I assume that because it is so far into the future, that there may not be much evidence that there was ever an existence prior to the RP?
I'll keep an eye on this one for sure...

No worries @Aeonumbra.
I know what it's like to GM, esp when it comes to a new RP concept, outline everything that you'll need, gain a lot of interest, post plenty of info up on the OOC, and then just when you're ready to write the final IC...life smacks you upside the head and wonders why you're ignoring it for make-believe :)
I have no doubt that you'll see this through, even if it's not on everyone's perceived timeline, but all you can do is keep us posted. Hopefully, once your initial IC is out of the way, everyone's individual posts will allow the story to start taking on a life of it's own, which is always a good thing :)
