Roleplay

It was bound to happen at some point. A war broke out between countries, although no one can quite remember who were on which side and who started it. However, it was very clear that no one had won. The Earth was left in ruins, most of the population having either been killed in the fighting or due to the after effects of the radiation. All aspects of society have broken down, it is unlikely that even one, small city remains in function. Those that did survive the fighting and the nuclear fallout are few in number. Perhaps maybe less than ten thousand world wide? The remaining people of this now desolate world try to make a living by traveling from one remains of a town to another, looking for supplies. Some have formed groups and used their numbers to steal from other survivors. Essentially, the world is chaotic and any form of safety or comfort are few and far between. The world has not only become dangerous because of the people, but the animal and plant life pose new dangers as well. They have become mutated by the radiation and adapted to this new environment. This has caused plants and animals to become more...proactive in their search for nutrients and most are well equipped to hunt anything that they come across that looks edible. Although, the animals do not seem to be the only ones who have mutated. There are reports of this happening to humans as well, in many forms and degrees of physical alteration. These mutations might be just what humans need in these chaotic times in order to survive.

So, this is your basic survive the apocalypse type of roleplay with the addition of some mutations. Basically, I was bored and really in the mood for a post-apocalyptic type of roleplay XD.

Rules:
1. No GMing/PPing
2. Please, no one-liners. Write at least a paragraph so that people have something to respond to.
3. Max of 2 characters per person.
4. No excessive gore.
5. Romance is fine, just keep it in accordance with FR rules.
6. The mutation can be pretty much anything. It can effect how someone looks or it might not. Want a normal looking person who shoots ice? Cool. Want someone that looks like a cross between a human and a cat? Cool. That's up to you.
7. Have fun!

Name: Bastion Knyte

Age: 18

Height: 5'6"

Sexuality: Is attracted to someone based on their personality rather than their gender

Mutation: Technomancy

Personality:
Bastion is generally a pretty friendly guy, preferring to make friends and keep the peace rather than to pick a fight and make enemies. Quite honestly, fighting or conflict of any kind makes him nervous. He definitely more the type to run away from a fight rather than to face someone head on, unless he is forced into a corner. His sense of humor is very sarcastic and he loves to tell terrible jokes, the more groans he gets in response, the better. Bastion is a bit eccentric. The company of machines and technology is far more comfortable to him than that of living things. As machines act in a certain, predictable way but humans are just so unpredictable. He tends to think out loud when he is trying to solve a problem, but it probably just sounds like a bunch of random mumbling because of the mental leaps he takes. Solving problems and creating something out of seemingly nothing are some of his favorite things to do. He is always up for a mental challenge, but would prefer to leave any physical challenges to someone else.

Appearance:
Bastion is pretty scrappy, not having much muscle on him at all combined with being rather short. His hair is light brown and scruffy, despite being kept short it still manages to look messy. He has tanned skin from being outside in the sunlight. His eyes are a hazel color but gain a bright green glow while using his technomancy. Bastion is missing his left arm and has replaced it with a robotic arm that you can definitely tell was improvised and is a constant work in progress. He also carries a jury-rigged generator on his back that seems to be made of parts salvaged from all sorts of machinery. His clothes are basically whatever he can find that haven't been reduced to rags. One can't be too picky in an apocalypse. However, one constant piece of apparel that Bastion keeps on him as a pair of old goggles that always are either around his neck or on his forehead when he isn't wearing them.

Other:
As his generator runs mostly on gas power, he will always be searching cars and others sources in towns to find more gasoline. He will also scope out any hardware stores, computer stores, or pretty much anywhere that would have tools or electronics that he might be able to use.

@Zenikay
((Hello! :3 And I would say that the apocalypse has been going on for at least one (human) generation. So, the generation that the characters are in is probably the first to really display a wide variety of mutation.))

@AbyssRanger

Awesome, thanks :)

@AbyssRanger

ooc: hey hey, i love end-of-the-world rps :}} one question though: is it mandatory that people have mutations?

@smerdyakov
((Not at all! Your character doesn't have to have a mutation, if you don't want them to :3))

@AbyssRanger

ooc: ooh excellent, thanks :}} also lemme know if you need anything changed for these guys. their profiles might be a little choppy, because i'm just creating them now = 3 3 =

Name: Collin Mung
Age: 29
Height: 5'7
Sexuality: Closeted gay
Mutation:
Genetically identical to a lemon tree, with the ability to photosynthesize and pick up chemical signals from other plant-life, though all this is very new to him. (see appearance/other for details)

Personality:
Collin is a man who could be defined by his hesitance. He is terrified of both conflict and failure and decided long ago that, because of this, it is better to remain mediocre and anonymous than to try at all. He maintains a very casual and apathetic facade, while his inwardly overanalyzes or stresses about the opinions or expectations of those around him. This often causes him to assume the worst about others and jump to conclusions before he knows the facts or how others feel, and he can rarely keep an emotion distance from the things that interest or distress him. He's even been known to cry when he's angry and can get frustrated easily when things prove complicated or he is challenged by others.

Appearance:
Pudgy and average looking, Collin has light tan skin, dark green almond-shaped eyes, and two moles by the left corner of his mouth. In these end times, Collin has let his curly black hair grow out so that it reaches the base of his neck and, while he can only really grow stubble, rarely tries to keep the professional appearance he once maintained. Mostly this is because, in the fall out, he was impaled through the right side of his chest by a lemon tree branch which mutated and grafted/fuse itself with him-- and it has been very hard for him to accept or care for himself with a large lemon branch growing out of his back.
Occasionally small buds and leaves will grow through his skin, but he tends to pull these out (despite how much it hurts)

Other:
Collin has learned the hard way that he does not require the same things as other people-- he survives purely by photosynthesizing and actually gets physically ill when he consumes food. Before the apocalypse Collin drove a delivery truck for fedex and lived in an apartment complex close to his parents' home.

Name: Nara "Eden" Jones
Age: 13
Height: 4'8
Sexuality: Questioning
Mutation: None

Personality:
Soft spoken and timid, Eden flinches often and always keep their personal opinion to themself. They like to appear fragile and rarely speak, but actually are capable of doing what it takes to survive regardless of what a situation demands. Above all else, really, Eden is a survivor who will sacrifice others, relationships-- anything in order to come out alive. Because they like to play up their innocent and inexperienced, along with their kindness, Eden will often say incredibly passive aggressive or roundabout mean things and then act confused when they are confronted for it.
Eden is very good at reading social situations and other people's emotions but often times struggles to pinpoint what they themself are really feeling.
Having heard multiple stories about "the internet", Eden has make it their goal to restore the internet to its "former glory". They have limited knowledge of old memes and internet jargon and tend to throw it around whenever they can.

Appearance:
Eden has dark brown shoulder length loosely coiled hair that they tend to let do whatever. They have dark brown skin, warm brown eyes, and a few splotchy freckles under their eyes. Eden hasn't hit puberty yet and is pretty scrawny because of it. They always wear a bright orange jelly bracelet on their left wrist, but don't really care about clothing otherwise (currently dressing in a dirty white v-neck and blue-jean overalls). Eden's left lower leg is prosthetic and they are always looking for replacements on the bodies of other people they find.


Other:
Has always wanted to be a cat and is pretty angry that they didn't get any cool abilities from the radiation.

@AbyssRanger
Looks cool!

Name: Star

Age: 17

Height: 5'9''

Sexuality: Straight

Mutation: The radiation energies somehow turned Star into a centaur, with some aspects of a horse's mood. She can also communicate with both horses and humans.

Personality: Star seems very gruff and unfriendly on the outside, but in reality, she's a very nice person, and just lonely. She also has a very short temper; don't annoy her if you don't want a broken foot or a kick to the stomach. All she wants is to find a herd of her own, but she doesn't trust people anymore after one man nearly enslaved her as a "circus freak" because she was a centaur. She, as you might expect, loves horses.

Appearance: Star has long black hair with a white streak on one side, and brown eyes. A pair of horse ears stick out where her normal ears would be, and she wears a fitted brown shirt she made herself. Her horse half is entirely black, and her tail is black with a white streak in it, like her hair. She wears a belt on her human half that holds her knives, and has a saddlebag she also made herself to store food and anything else she might come upon.

Other: Star's a vegetarian, and will probably kick you in the face if you try to feed her meat.

I might still add another character, but I'm not sure yet!

@smerdyakov
((Both are accepted! :3 Just one thing in Nara's part. The apocalypse has been going on for about one human generation, so she probably would never have experienced the internet.

@Eaglefairy
Okay, just a couple things. First, I'm concerned about her personality. Truthfully, it doesn't sound like she would be willing to interact with or group up with any of the characters, unless she was trying to kill them. Which might not work well for character interactions for you. Also, the concept of buying things and being a mercenary and getting paid don't really suit the setting. More than likely money isn't worth anything and resources are what things are paid in, if such interaction did occur. So, she would either have to barter for the jumpsuit, make it, or find one.))

@AbyssRanger

ooc: i think you've mentioned that like three times and i still managed to miss it lmao. i'll fix it right away. would it be possible for er to be infatuated with this legend of the internet and kinda like excalibur-seeking out a way to bring it back?
