COLD PLAGUE

“I- I…” Mira found herself speechless as she retightened her grip on the steering wheel. She had nearly plowed right over the wave of cats and dogs that had came surging forth. If Omar had not shouted fast enough she was not too sure she would have reacted in time. For a second Mira thought she had pissed on herself until she looked down and realized the sudden stop had sloshed some of her coffee out onto the dash and across her upper thigh and groin.

“Well shit.” Mira spat as she reached out and used one bare hand to smear and wipe at the brown liquid on the dash. It would be sticky without doubt but she could wipe it off later, thankfully none of the coffee had splashed out onto the radio. The spill on her pants had already soaked in, it was uncomfortably hot but not scalding thankfully so she could just let it dry and worry about washing her uniform later. She absently wiped her sticky hand off on her pants leg, annoyed and disoriented from the sudden happening.

“Yeah, we need to call that in…” Mira said, her tone a little distant as she tried to process what she just saw. What the hell caused that? All those animals to just go flooding in a singular direction undeterred by any kind of danger. Jesus, this city is getting weirder by the hour it seems.

Just as Mira’s hand started to glide toward the radio it suddenly crackled to life causing her to flinch slightly.

“Attention all units we have a one thirty-two in progress at the corner gas station on Willard Street, all available units please respond.”

Armed robbery, Mira felt the hair on her arms and neck raise, Willard Street. That’s just two blocks over!

Mira put the car in gear and drove her foot down into the pedal, the patrol car lurching forward as the engine roared to new life. “Take that for me!” Mira nodded toward the radio as she made a sudden hard turn. The animals will just have to wait. What a shift this is looking to fucking be!

____________________________________________________________________________ SHORT BACKSTORY & PERSONALITY Mira Feng was born in Lambour City to a Chinese father and a Jewish mother, the youngest of three children and the only daughter. Mira’s father was a real estate agent and her mother a nurse at a local health clinic. With two high earning parents Mira and her two older brothers had a very easy life growing up and more often than not had the best of everything - or at least close to it. Mira was close with her family, her mother was kind and attentive and her father a patient and dedicated parent if hard-spoken at times. Mira and her brothers were very tightly knit through their youth and well into their teenage years. As wonderful as things were though this ideal family would be shaken by tragedy. When Mira was fifteen her father was gunned down after being held up in the street, the terrible happening leaving the entire family grief stricken to say the least. Mira’s mother particularly went into a spiraling depression and became more distant as she tried to focus on working to hold things together. Thankfully extended family on both sides stepped in to help, but no amount of financial and familial support would heal the scars left on the Feng family after the death of Mira’s father. After graduating high school Mira’s brothers both went into respectable career fields, the elder becoming a real estate agent like his father and the younger a chemistry instructor at the University of Maine. Mira meanwhile went into law enforcement which was a blend of surprise but also a deeper understanding to those around her. On the death of her father - murdered in broad daylight - Mira had decided she wanted to go into law enforcement to serve the city, help protect the communities at large, and generally stop others from becoming victims of tragedies like her family was. All of the usual idealisms. After finishing police academy Mira would serve with Lambour City Police Department for four years before moving over to the Williams County Sheriff’s Department. In no time she made corporal and was soon after promoted to Investigator. However her growing abrasiveness and bullheaded approach would soon see her demoted back to corporal after stepping on the wrong superiors’ toes too many times. Mira is a blunt, straightforward woman that has no tolerance for any kind of nonsense or beating around the bush. She likes to tackle problems head on though not stupidly, her ideal approach being a quick but tactful handling of any kind of situation. When quick is too dangerous she can settle on tactful alone and when tactful is too slow and the risks are not too severe she is more than willing to go for the quick direct approach. Her sometimes bombastic way of policing have earned her as much criticism as praise and she has been reprimanded before for “playing the hero”. Despite her aggressive and relentless demeanor regarding her duties as law enforcement Mira also has an empathetic and caring side, particularly towards her family and close friends. Mira Feng is the best of friends and the worst enemy to have.

COLD PLAGUE

EPISODE 1
OUTBREAK

“Fuck, it’s cold.”

Corporal Mira Feng shuddered intensely as she slid into the drivers seat of her patrol car, two polystyrene cups of coffee in hand. She placed one of the coffees in the cup holder while reaching to hand the other to her partner, Deputy Omar Barajavan. As Omar took the coffee Mira reached and pulled the car door shut, albeit a little too hard, anxious to be out of the freezing November night air. Mira tugged her coat collar up snugly around her neck as she reached and turned the car key, the engine roaring to life. The time was one fifty-eight. “Look at that, still two minutes ahead of schedule.” Mira quipped monotonously as she put the patrol car into gear.

Mira and Omar were pulling out of the station for their regular shift, two to twelve. Normally they would be leaving a bit earlier than they were now but with the weather like it was Mira felt the need to hang back and grab a coffee for them both. Mira turned on the windshield wipers as they pulled up to the edge of the street in front of the station. There was a modest sheet of freezing rain coming down and according to the weather over the next few days it would get progressively colder and bring some heavy snow. Mira knew what that meant, working vehicle wrecks and directing traffic just as a start, especially now - never mind chasing hoods and punks down slicked roads and sidewalks.

You signed up for it. Mira thought wryly as she turned out into the street and peeled down the way.

Traffic was minimal but Mira knew that had to do with the epidemic that was suddenly shaking the city. The day before, early in the morning hours, people were coming into the hospital and showing severe symptoms that resembled a flu. A winters’ illness outbreak was to be expected this time of year but this was something different. It was so sudden. Reports said that by the dozens and then the hundreds people were just flooding in wracked with symptoms, and it was worsening by the hour. By that afternoon hospitals and clinics were overflowing with sick people, many barely able to sit up straight in the waiting rooms - all this within less than twelve hours. Mira had never heard of anything like it. Ambulances were screaming up and down the streets all day and night from people having to be picked up from their homes, not even able to make it to their cars or to a cab to get to aid.

Mira had just woken up from sleeping earlier that evening when she heard about the wave of deaths. The news said people were dropping like flies, slumping over in their waiting room chairs or hospital beds. Mira still remembered that sudden, dreadful chill that had rushed through her as she watched the tv from her living room couch. The mayor had declared a state of emergency and was reaching out to the governor and Washington for immediate aid in this epidemic - whatever it was. Mira was no doctor but she imagined it to be some kind of freak mutant flu. And yet I have never heard of anything that could shake up and shut down a whole city in less than one day.

The Corporal shook her head as she reached for her coffee and took a long sip, the hot coiling steam feeling good against her face. Nearly every business Mira and Omar passed had signs indicating being indefinitely closed amid this strange pandemic. Doors were all locked up tight and blinds and window covers masked the insides of everything from stores to street side restaurants. Few people were on the sidewalks and most wore masks and gloves and were all giving each other a wide birth. A red flashing caught both deputies attention as they passed an apartment complex, an ambulance was parked outside and Mira could see EMT’s were rushing up the stairs.

Mira glanced sideways at Omar as she made a sharp turn down a side street on their route. “What do you know about this virus or whatever it is, Omar? This… flu…” Mira hoped he had something for her, anything other than just a shrug or an “I don’t know”. This whole thing was making her nervous to put it to the least, so many hospitalized and dead with no end in site reported.

Mass Effect: Second Vigil

AMINA GALAL

”ROGUE”

---

Amina Galal picked up a cigar from the table, one eyebrow raised as she rolled it over in her fingers. Amina had never been a smoker and only a casual drinker, though she felt it rude not to at least give the rolled tobacco that had been set out for the assemblage a once over. She lifted it to her nose to smell, her nostrils wrinkling and upper lip curling in revulsion at the scent. Amina had noticed their hostess coughing on the cigar that she was so amateurishly sucking away at as well as the fact that she was not the only arrival that did not partake, therefore she eagerly lay the stinking cigar back from where she had taken it. No need in starting a new habit just because the earth as we know it has gone to hell and back. Amina thought.

Amina did not take to the sofa but rather had pulled up a nearby chair with a leather seating and back. She had been the second person to arrive at the little meeting, the first a Quarian male. The human woman had sat silently the whole time, legs crossed and arms folded as she waited for the rest of the people that were meant to come. “People” being aliens as it were, mostly anyway - aside from the Quarian the group at hand consisted of one other human and then an Asari and a Turian. Amina chewed viciously on the inside of her cheek as she looked between the aliens, trying her best to keep her glances and foul expression on the low.

There is no point in letting it burn you up, they are stuck here and you with them - at least for the time.

The scientist woman - Lizbeth - had made her introduction and ordered rum. Rum was not Amina’s favorite but it was better than nothing, so she gladly helped herself to a glass as Miss Baynham proceeded forth with the details. The former ExoGeni scientist laid out the details of what was facing the would-be team at current; investigating the distress signal of the last SRN team, meeting with a contact to discuss an item the last team had with them, and then recovering a shuttle for transport. Amina started to consider all of what Lizbeth had said as she took a careful sip at her rum, then the Quarian spoke up.

“You can leave the distress signal to me. Reconnaissance is my speciality. I could probably investigate the area and be back without the locals ever knowing I was there. And if I’m caught. Well, I think I can handle a bunch of thugs with guns. Still, if anyone else wants to come, I'd never say no to backup.”

Cocky little suit rat. Amina looked over the rim of her glass as she let the sweet rum rush over her full lips. One person going to investigate into the missing status of a whole team sounded foolish to her, no matter how good the Quarian claimed to be at recon. There was no telling what was the cause behind the disappearance. It made more sense for the whole team or maybe two or three people to go at the same time to check things out. The woman finally lowered her glass and licked some of the rum from her lips as she sat forward, placing her half empty glass on the table. The rum was setting in as Amina was feeling a little buzz in the back of her skull and she decided it best to ease off for the moment. Deciding to make her own opinion known she considered her words carefully before speaking up.

Amina looked at Lizbeth, avoiding eye contact with the others, “I say we split into two teams. Half of us go to investigate the signal while the other half go to secure the shuttle. You can handle the politicking at the good mayors’ party. Safety in numbers plus we can accomplish more at the same time.”

“Or,” Amina added, sitting back, “we can all go investigate the signal together if people don’t want to split up and find group transportation later on.”

___________________________________ P R O F I L E Age 30 Sex Female Height 5’10” (177.8 Cm) Weight 130 Lbs (58.967 Kg) Homeworld Earth Ethnicity Mixed (Turkish and Greek) Rank Commander ____________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________ SHORT BACKSTORY Leena Aybin was born on Earth in the Istanbul metropolis area to a Turkish father and a Greek mother. Her father is an architect back on Earth and Leena has six older brothers - all of whom pursued various fields in academia or engineering and technology. Leena herself was encouraged from a young age to go into medicine or teaching however this was not the life she wanted. Leena wanted to see the galaxy at large and serve on the bolder front of expansion across the galaxy. When Leena finished with high school she turned aside all scholarships and instead enlisted in the Federation Marine Corps, much to the vocal disappointment of her parents and siblings. Leena worked hard to make it in the Marines, putting in extra hours at the ranges and in the gym and focusing solely on the necessary study materials. She maintained a hard nosed exterior to avoid any distraction and drove away many prospective friendships in ensure she was nothing but a good marine in the end. Leena’s family never called or otherwise contacted her and despite her front of not caring it cut her deep. Unwilling to let her families’ disapproval shake her she kept her focus and shut out everything else until the end. Her instructors were impressed by her and always complimented her zealous attention and dedication in exercises. When Leena graduated her family was not present and her practice of keeping people away left her graduation feeling hollow, even with the chorus of applause for her - it was all courtesy after all. No jubilant shouts or whistling or airhorns for her, not like most of the others. Years have passed since and Leena has clumb through the ranks. Her record is spotless, her performances always satisfactory, and she even received commendations and a big promotion when she oversaw the eradication of a large smuggling ring in the Anahita system. Leena now boasts the rank of Commander and in recent months was given her own command as part of the UTF Marine Corp Special Response Initiative put into place a year back. Leena is proud of herself and has come to believe that the neglect of her family and lack of connections with others when she was younger has paid off. Those under her command respect and seem to like her and superior officers never hesitate in saluting and shaking her hand - her reputation preceding her.

BLOOD MAGE TYRO

~ Art by nebezial ~ (DeviantArt)

Genre
Dark Fantasy

---

Duration
Short term or longterm.

---

Setting
Throughout the Kingdom of Mirenth.

---

Synopsis

The Prelacy says that magic is the “black gift” of the Abyss, a direct affront to The Creator’s design. Since the dissolving of the colleges and guilds of magic two centuries back the arcane arts have been declared heresy against the Word of The Creator. Those who practice or study magic or take magical items and texts for themselves - regardless of intent - are declared apostates and are judged as such. Despite the many decades of zealous efforts by the Prelacy and their knightly orders magical practice continues to exist, the arcane arts never truly dying out. Druids, elementalists, enchanters, necromancers, and of course blood mages continue to walk the earth always vigilant for the militants of the cathedrals and their cronies.

One blood mage in particular has long been hunted by the Templar Knights and the Inquisition. Having achieved immortality, an affront to the divine powers of only the Creator Himself, for passing generations has this man fled the wrath of the clergy. When he is finally found he is slain by the Knights Templar who then destroy his lifetime of research and torch his estate. Only his two young apprentices manage to escape and barely so.

On their own and with the Templars and Inquisition at their heels these two apprentices must take all that their master taught them and choose how to employ this knowledge. Wether they seek bloody revenge or to merely take up their masters’ legacy and transcend mortality is to be seen. My partner and I will role as the two apprentices fighting to survive in a world unwelcoming of their kind. While at first they are fleeing persecution the two soon realize that they hold the key to limitless power, and they must decide how to use it.

NOTE: This RP will touch on dark plot elements such as mass blood lettings, human sacrifice, and other gruesome practices.

HEIR TO THE EMERALD THRONE

Duration

Setting
Throughout the Kingdom of Avaraland.

---

Synopsis

For two hundred years, since the dawn of the Third Age, the Avaran people and their kings lived obediently under the rule of the Achedian Empire as sworn vassals. But now after so many generations the Imperium has begun to crumble, the Imperial Council is rife with corruption and the current emperor is arbitrary, paranoid, and iron-fisted.
In an attempt to remove any symbols of power separate of Achedia the Emperor demanded the abdication of provincial rulers to further absolute unification and assimilation of Imperial provinces and to increase his own power base as well. This paired with heightened taxation and increased troop garrison, among other policies, ensured alienation between the Emperor and many of his border provinces. King Nicholas of Avaraland was among those to resist and declared a secession from Achedia. As Avaraland prepared for war to defend its newly declared independence a plot was set to motion by Imperial loyalists.

On a rainy mid spring evening King Nicholas Morain, his wife Cara, and a number of his retainers are all murdered in the palace by a loyalist conspiracy. Only the King’s Grand General escaped the attack, fleeing in the night with Nicholas’ infant child swaddled in his arm. With the capital taken and the Morain lineage seemingly eradicated the conspirators were all granted territories across Avaraland - these various beneficiaries all under the watchful eye of the new Proconsul, Magnus Aquila.

Despite this there are those who have remained dedicated to the ideal of an independent Avaraland. For the past twenty years since the murder of Nicholas a rebellion has persisted against Achedian rule lead by Brion, former Grand General of Avaraland. At his side are his own daughter, Fiona, and the now adult heir of King Nicholas Morain. The rebellion over the years has waxed and waned with little ground to be shown and the King’s heir left in the shadows for their own safety. But no more. When the rebels are accosted by a traitor in their midst and their ranks scattered in the wind the young heir and Fiona must work together to reunite the rebellion and bring the fight to their oppressors directly. I will role as Fiona, whom I will properly flesh out during OOC discussion, and my partner the heir of King Nicholas (TBC) as this pair struggle to rally their fellow malcontents and liberate their land and people from a foreign tyrant.

VENGEFUL TRAIL

~ Art by Bassma ~

Genre
High Fantasy

Duration
Short term or longterm.

Setting
Throughout the Kingdom of Tawr. (SANDSTRIDERS World)

---

Synopsis

Tawr - a majestic land of rolling deserts, lush oasis’, and a “colored” history and culture. It is a land ruled by the Ayiralites, those with the blood of jinn, a land they guard jealously for themselves even as they look to expand into the realms beyond. Those who resist find themselves crushed beneath the zealous armies of the Maatrho - the god king of Tawr - or brought to their knees by the magics of his loyal vassals. Those who know their place and serve with obedience find life for themselves easier, some of the time.

When a minor but wealthy noble family are called upon by the liege of a large city they find themselves thrust into hospitality befitting true royalty for the evening. However this gilded treatment by the ruler proves to be all part of a wicked ruse as the head of the family and his wife are cruelly murdered and their children set upon. The son is exiled into the desert where his death will be certain and the daughter forcefully taken as the city rulers’ new betrothed.

By some grace of the divine the elder son survives the wrath of Tawr’s deserts and soon returns to the city, his eyes filled with madness and his heart with hate as he seeks to avenge his parents’ murder and to reclaim all that was taken from him. This RP will be set in the world of SANDSTRIDERS which I have linked above. My partner will ideally role as the noble son while I will take on the role of a new companion he meets when he escapes the maw of the desert, the two setting out together on a quest for revenge - each having their own respective motivations for such. I would prefer a M x F pairing in regards to the two main characters, the male nobleman and his female companion-to-be. That said if one truly wishes for two F’s or two M's for the mains I am open to altering.

(A) My partner can create and role as a single team member while I control the rest of the team as well as all other characters. (B) My partner and I can split the team between us - and possibly other characters to be seen. (C) My partner and I can create two paired "main" characters while the rest of the team takes the background, perhaps even being killed off early on. This is open for discussion!

(NOTE: This concept was inspired by Dead Space and draws some inspirational elements from Resident Evil as well, just to give a general outline of the theme and environment.

Synopsis

After the end of World War Three the United States of America no longer existed. Having suffered twelve major nuclear attacks and the targeted elimination of the standing government during the conflict, the shambling and directionless nation fractured postwar. As the world recovered from years of bloody and devastating global war various nation states arose in the now former US.

The Commonwealth of Augusta, the Boston Federation, the Eerie-Ontario Confederacy, and the Democratic Republic of Raleigh - these are the major powers of the north.

The year is 2090, roughly sixty years since the end of World War Three. The powers of the north and east coast coexist in a “cold peace”, false smiles and gestures of serenity cloak acts of assassination and espionage. The people work in the factories and shops and toil in the fields for their respective nations, in the evening time watching and listening to propaganda from the establishments. Culture has stagnated as all resources and labor go into domestic development and the militaries.

Isle au Haut, Maine - the capital state of the Commonwealth of Augusta - has come under scrutiny after allegations that the military base built on it is a front for a black site where “enemies of the state” and other priority detainees are kept. A leak from a supposed inside source has suggested that the facility also conducts secret research on prisoners aside from cruel methods of interrogation and usual executions. Since becoming a one party state twelve years back the Commonwealth has grown increasingly aggressive and more militarized under the policies of the Chesuncook Lobby which has lead to colder relations between it and its neighbors. My partner and I will role as two operatives from factions/nations of our selections sent to infiltrate and investigate the Isle au Haut naval base - an alias for “Camp Rho” - and uncover the sinister secrets of the facility, ultimately revealing a plot by the ultranationalist Chesuncook Lobby that must be stopped for the safety of the surrounding nation states.

The year is 1972 and the world stands divided between East and West, the Cold War seeing no end in sight. The arms race, proxy wars, and intrigue games occupy many theaters. Spies and double operatives are everywhere, for in this Cold War information and espionage are an edge any nation worth it’s salt will utilize.

When a brilliant scientist seeks to defect to the West, offering valuable research data and other intel, the CIA send an operative to help him in his escape to the other side of the Iron Curtain. The operative goes dark and no further word is heard through the contact chain from the scientist. A Central Intelligence mole soon reveals that both the operative and the scientist have been detained and are being held in Mavgora though their location is unknown. Mavgora was originally a part of Romania though would be officially established as it’s own socialist republic after the end of the Second Great War. Like it’s parent Romania, Magvora is not part of the USSR but is among the Eastern Bloc nonetheless. The folk of the small Republic are fiercely patriotic and suspicious of foreigners in general.

Faced with the danger of losing the defector and the agent, as well as the possibility of compromising, Langley takes immediate action. Two of the finest agents that the West has to offer are dispatched to Mavgora, their mission: to locate and recover both the scientist and the missing operative as well as the scientists’ dossier. Failure means loss of a valuable asset and information as well as the dangers of leaks if the agency man breaks under the reds. My partner and I will embark upon this daring mission as the two agents sent to Mavgora.

Setting
Feudal Japan amid the Sengoku period starting in the year 1567.

Synopsis

As the wavering flame of the Ashikaga shogunate flickers to it’s end many of the great daimyo of Japan plot and conspire in hopes of bringing glory to their clans. They form alliances and coalitions and make war on their rivals, their ambitions the spark that drive them.
One such ambitious man is Oda Nobunaga, known by many as the “Fool of Owari”. Having succeeded his father Oda Nobuhide and seized lordship of Owari the young Nobunaga would then go on to defeat the Imagawa clan at Okehazama. This paired with gaining the fealty of many great samurai afterward emboldened Nobunaga who then set his intentions on further increasing his power.

Nobunaga turned his attention to Mino province to the north that had long been the domain of the Saitō clan. The current head of the Saito - Saitō Tatsuoki, young and foolish - has proven inferior against the Oda, having lost much ground and likewise many of his retainers to the Oda, the latter through both betrayal and death in battle. The Saitō clan now face their doom, Oda forces have laid siege to Inabayama Castle and it is here that our story begins. The Ikari clan have long served the Saitō faithfully, even now in the face of certain defeat they stand steadfast and unwavering. As the castle is about to fall the head of the Ikari sends his son and daughter away despite their protests, his final wish that they might survive and see to the continuation of their clan. He also asks that they visit vengeance upon he that has disgraced them and their Saitō masters alike.

My partner and I will role as the son and daughter (brother and sister) mentioned above as they set out on a quest to avenge their fallen kin and rekindle the prestige of the Ikari clan, washing away the shame that Nobunaga has wrought on them. As this is historical fiction we will be playing upon the events following the historic seizure of Mino and Oda Nobunaga’s revelation of his intent to conquer all of Japan. While fictional as stated the idea is to avoid major anomalies that conflict with history while telling the tale of two sibling warriors seeking vengeance and redemption alike.

NOTE: I would prefer to partake in this RP with someone who has at least modest knowledge of the period/setting. While I have no problem making corrections and doing research obviously I would rather avoid someone who is for the most part clueless and unfamiliar in this context.

The fictional Lambour City and Williams County.

Synopsis

The “sickness” first began in Lambour City in the early morning hours on what would have been a usual day in the bustling east coast metropolis. Clinics and hospitals across Lambour City were swamped with an unexpected and shockingly massive wave of patients suffering from what appeared to be a severe flu and a citywide quarantine was immediately put in to effect. Roads out of the city were closed and the harbor sealed off from entry or departure. As the mayor reached out for national aid the sudden crisis went into full swing as roughly twenty hours after the outbreak patients began dying in scores across Lambour City. Morgues were overflowing and panic set in as people were literally dropping over in overcrowded waiting rooms. It was then that the true horror began.

Just after midnight frantic calls came out from hospitals and morgues claiming that patients "stated as deceased" were rising up and attacking staff. At the same time calls were coming in from all across the city of such bizarre attacks; sick people bursting from their bedrooms and attacking their spouses, neighbors breaking in and pummeling and biting victims, and the list continues. Attempts at detaining and reasoning with these "plagued individuals" have been for naught and the military has been rushed in to seal off the whole county. The nearby military base of Fort Wayne has been tasked with rescuing and evacuating those that are not sick and clearance has been given to put down any assailants.

There are three ways I have in mind for my partner and I to go with this concept; a pair of soldiers, a pair of police officers, or a "civvy" pair - siblings, a married couple, two close friends, etcetera. The military and police pairing will be more focused on evacuating civilians while contributing to finding out the cause of this sudden "outbreak". A civilian pair will be focused on survival and escaping Lambour City and perhaps given circumstances have a hand in finding out causation.
