Survival

[Nelle Kozera]

Right, different from everything I have made so far. Inspired by The Colony.

The idea is simple, survive. Problem is, your not prepared, your not ready, hell you didn't even see it coming. Most of the worlds population has been devastated by a plague. All you have is the clothes on your back, and what you could have brought with you. Each one of you have different backgrounds, different histories. You all have one thing in common your alive. You made it through the collapse of civilization. You are stranded in Boston, what do you do.

Right i'm not going to post a sheet unless this gathers interest, tech level is that of today and everyone is civilian.

[Brome Teks]

Well that works out perfectly, because all of my electronic skills are based into today's technology. Obviously.

I'm interested, I need to flex my innovation/imagination. You'll have to be pretty specific about what we have, in order for me to properly MacGyver this sh*t up.

[Arratra]

Yup! I'm interested!

[Crusadra]

I'd be as well. This has the prospects of a solid RP.

[Shade Leshyr]

sounds interesting to me ^^

[Brome Teks]

Reaper has informed me via his phone that with the people expressing interest here and apparently Buzz over MSN, this RP has reached Reaper's imposed limit of 5 players.

[Samantha Arrow]

Shat, too slow.

I'll open my own later for players who didn't make it into this one.

I love post-apocalyptic/during-apocalyptic stuff

[Nelle Kozera]

Just confirm what Brome said, i'm keeping this to five players. Should this go well i might open another one similar to this one for those that didn't make it to this one, thats if Sam doesn't end up doing it.

Born in Maine as the youngest of six, Nelle grew up generally normal for all intense and purposes. From a young age she showed an aptitude for things mechanical. At the age of ten she took apart an old engine that was no longer working, at eleven she was able to put it back together, at twelve she got the engine running. In high school autoshop classes, along with science classes are where she excelled and while she could have gone on to higher sciences if she wished her desire was that of fabrication.

After heading to the local technical college and completing her degree in metal fabrication and wielding she worked for a local fabshop( Fabrication shop) constructing various items. Four years later, a friend of hers an engineer asked her to help them open a small engineering firm outside of Boston. With the promise of better pay for a job she would have done for free, and the idea of working on stuff no one else has, she jumped on it without a second thought. Now her friend is dead, killed by the plague, and the workshop she had worked at for the last four years has burned to the ground leaving her alone to fend for herself....

After a few years of working in the mine for a couple years, they began to trust him more and had decided to send him on an equipment run to Boston. He was supposed to go with his father, and two other men to get the equipment, but during the time of the plague and the chaos that came with it, he was separated from the men, and lost within Boston.

[Brome Teks]

Name: Elijah “Ellis” Orly Flint

Age: 24

Gender: male

Species/race: New England Cottontail Rabbit

Addictions: Caffeine: Rabbits and energy drinks. What the hell did they think was going to happen?

Appearance: His fur is white, his ears usually flopped behind his head or perked upright. His stance is diminutive, only standing 5’5” (That’s with his ears perked up). He’s got almost no fat on his body, being the type of person who, no matter how hard they tried, could never gain any weight. Normally that was good for him, but in a situation where food is limited he might find it less than helpful. He has a light runners build, being a rabbit he is naturally fleet of foot. He was on track team for most of his high school career and throughout college often jogged or did some parkour. He’s good at jumping hurdles, but he can’t do mirror’s edge stuff. That sort of stuff shatters bones and tears fur out. Ouch.

Ref (For now)

Profession: MIT physics graduate student and part time researcher for a professor there.

Skills:

Physics!: He was one year into a physics graduate program at the nearby Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and as such has a very good understanding of mechanical forces and other physics which might be less useful here. (Quantum statistics won’t save you now.)

Electronics: Is actually a derivative of the above physics knowledge, but stands on its own due to its usefulness. He knows much about electronics, components, induction, etc.

Parkour: Both as a rabbit and a nerd who often needed to run from bullies, he is very fast on his feet, and thanks to doing so many hurdles in high school, is good at navigating obstacles.

Weaknesses:

No fighting skill whatsoever: he always ran instead of trying to fight. And for someone his size, that’s usually the wiser choice.

Complete lack of survival skills: As a nerd, he’s never gone on a camping trip, and doesn’t know how to do things like forage for food, set up a tent, etc.

Extremely passive personality: He’s a pushover. If someone tells him to do something, he’ll do it instead of fighting back.

Current possessions: Tote bag with:

Laptop + Charger (You know, priorities.) Laptop is down to 10% battery life as of the beginning of this RP
Droid phone + charger (65% battery)
TI-84 Plus Silver (90% battery, they last forever anyways)
2x tee shirts
MIT hoodie
1 pair of shorts
1 pair of pants
4x underpants
4x socks
3 bottles of water
5 cans of Monster
Box of 20 granola bars
1 grocery store first aid kit

Biographic Info: Ellis was born in Manchester, NH and spent his entire childhood there. He was quite the shrimpy figure, and was an easy target for local bullies. In his first years of primary school, he got very fast on his feet, even for a rabbit, from spending so much time running from his tormentors. Away from school, he became reclusive and rarely went outside the house, preferring to stay inside and read like a good little nerd. He did well in school as a result of this, and in high school he put his running ability to use by joining the track team. Performing well, he went to college on several sports and academic scholarships.

After he got a Bachelors of Science in Physics, he was accepted into MIT and had spent a year in attendance with good grades and working as an assistant researcher to one of the professors there when the plague struck. His professor and all his friends were struck dead by the plague, leaving Ellis wandering around Boston aimlessly.

[Arratra]

Name: Benjamin "Ben" Firedrake

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Species/race: Kimmarri Drakel (reptilian Drakel, a wingless semi-dragon race. Search Adventurequest on Google to find Artix Entertainment's game)

Addictions: Mild sweet tooth

Appearance: He has the deep, jade-green skin of most of his kind, marked with the red, scar-shaped Enforcer tatoos around his eye area. He is of a rangy, but fairly powerful build, and is very fit. His empty sword loop attests to the fact that he previously owned a sword, but wherever that sword is, he doesn't have it any more. There is a scar on the side of his neck, a freshly-healed knife wound from before the plague hit.

Profession: Drakel Hunter (Wilderness ranger)

Skills:

Athletic capability; Ben is very atheletic, as is required by a soldier. It comes both naturally and through the rigorous training he underwent at boot camp. Combined into this is his tactical movement training, utilising cover effectively.

Ranger; Ben is capable with the use of any and all firearms, and also understands their maintenance. One of his favourites is a Drakel speciality; called Gunblades, these weapons combine a Drakel-designed shotgun or semi-automatic rifle with a long and vicious bayonet blade.

Sense of direction; Ben has an almost infallible sense of direction, requiring only a few clues as to his surroundings before being able to lead the way back to the holdout or transportation (if any).

Weaknesses:

Homeschooled; Ben wasn't able to attend high school for several reasons, and, despite his fair intellect, was never able to truly complete the coursework in the local after-school education centres. As such, while his general knowledge is pretty fair, and he catches on quite quickly, he does not possess any specialised knowledge.

Socially awkward; Ben has problems interacting with people, although this is less evident when he's talking with close friends. This is somewhat offset by a long period of social readjustment during his teens, but is still evident in a slightly awkward stance when talking to strangers.

Hot-tempered; Ben is quick to take offence and quick to anger, but also very slow to start putting the beat-down on the object of his anger. This paradox is caused by a surprising level of self-understanding, and self-control. It does not, however, prevent him from launching a furious, and sometimes profane, tirade at the person who has brought forth this more draconic part of his Drakel heritage. He does sometimes require a physical release, and, in such cases, will generally bang about his private area for several minutes.

Current possessions:

Worn items:
1x camouflage fatigues top
1x camouflage fatigues bottom
1x leather sword belt
1x camouflaged backpack
1x pair of Enforcer knee-guards
1x pair of Enforcer gloves
1x pair of combat boots
1x combat knife

In backpack:
1x pair of combat boots (spare)
2x camouflage fatigues top
2x camouflage fatigues bottoms
2x grey singlet
2x grey briefs
3x day's worth of rations (for one person)
3x day's worth of water (for one person)
3x empty canteen
1x Nintendo DS (he happened to have it on him, and decided later that the entertainment value meant he should keep it)
2x Nintendo DS charger (don't ask)
4x Nintendo DS games
2x thick novels (one sci-fi, one fantasy)
1x pair of cheap headphones (uses them with the DS to improve sound quality and avoid annoying people nearby)

Biographic Info: Ben originates in Australia, and spent his childhood, and much of his time of service, there. He still considers it his homeland.

Ben was always an intelligent child; beginning to speak at nine months (the name of the family's pet dog was his first word), walking at one year, and driving a little toy car at age 2.
However, his obvious intelligence was offset by an unfortunate lack of social skills, and when he entered school, he quickly became the target of bullies. When he graduated into high school, things only got worse, despite the fact that he was beginning to learn to control his volatile temper. The pressures associated with high school, coupled with near constant teasing, culminated in an incident that caused Ben to effectively exile himself from the school. Three years later, his attempts to continue his education in the TAFE (an after-school education centre in Australia) campus nearby ended in near-complete failure, although not entirely at the fault of Ben.

When he turned 18, Ben found a job as a Wilderness Ranger. This required that he undergo a rigorous training regime at boot camp, and even acquire some military-like skills. He made a few drug busts patrolling the state borders, and was on holiday in Boston when the plague hit.

There is a scar on the side of his neck, a freshly-healed knife wound from before the plague hit.

Profession: Australian Army soldier

Arratra, I said NO military. That means nether Domestic or foreign we are people from civilian professions.

Large vocabulary; although normally considered a benefit, Ben's enormous vocabulary often presents problems when talking to someone who is either young, or has a smaller vocabulary than he does, as he will often utilise unfamiliar or obscure terms when trying to communicate his ideas. He also has a large repertoire of unusual gestures, and a number of non-english words at his disposal. The most common is "Baka" the Japanese word of "idiot".

Not a weakness, its an annoyance. It won't hinder your character down the road outside of confusing some people, and inducing the possibility having stuff thrown at you.

Swordsman; Ben is skilled in using blades of all types, ranging from a combat knife to a greatsword. Even more crude weapons, such as a staff, hammer or even a simple length of pipe, can become deadly instruments in his hands.

You have no reason for this outside of it being there. Secondly, I don't see this being of much help.

1x Ghillie Suit (Sniper camouflage suit)

Just...no.

2x combat knife (one on belt, one on backpack strap)

You get one Knife, not two.

[Arratra]

I'll try to fix that, then.

Update: Problems fixed, I hope.

[Nelle Kozera]

Ranger; Ben is capable with the use of any and all firearms, and also understands their maintenance. One of his favourites is a Drakel speciality; called Gunblades, these weapons combine a Drakel-designed shotgun or semi-automatic rifle with a long and vicious bayonet blade.

Merely a forewarning. Combat will play a very small role in this RP. You may want to think about another skill.

[Arratra]

I've thought about it. Thanks for the heads-up nonetheless.

{ERROR.DOES NOT COMPUTE}: His solution to anything computer related, is to threaten to break the comp further, generally with a large blunt object. he has zero knowledge in the field of technology.

Gender: Male

Species: Maned Wolf

Addictions: *cough* Sex

Appearance: A very large maned wolf, standing at six foot five and a highly muscled body, he achieved his fitness level by hard work as a construction worker and contractor, as well as simply having an interest in being fit. He wears a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt, but often just goes without the shirt.

Profession: Contractor

Skills:
Construction

Strong

Brave

Weaknesses:
Temper Tantrums - Marcus often thinks he knows best, and when someone does something he doesn't agree with he can throw a mighty fit, being as strong as he is this could make him dangerous

Addicted To Sex - Back when there was lots of women to be found, and the internet was still up this wasn't an issue for him. But now it's making him frustrated, and will get worse the longer he goes without.

Distrustful of Strangers - He only trusts people he knows can pull their own weight. He'll want to turn away any strangers wanting to freeload off their supplies. He could also get mad at anyone who he thinks isn't doing their fair share of work.

Biographic Info: For the sake of keeping RP more realistic, you'll have to learn it in IC

[Nelle Kozera]

I have just the name for this guy. With the sex addiction I should just point out this is a pg-13 site. Other than that looks fine.

[Samantha Arrow]

I know, it's not like I'll be yiffing on the forum xD

If you need biographical information for admin purposes I'll PM it to you. But I prefer RPing where non-obvious information about the character needs to be learned through RP.
