-----------------------------
Plot
-----------------------------
After many years of remaining a strong and powerful force, the Haven has fallen to an unknown disease, and the surface of the Cradle has been overrun overrun by Drouls (Poison Zombies). Amidst the chaos, the Swarm went to work and took over all other monsters. After taking over the monsters, the Swarm becomes stronger, but yet remain underground for reasons unknown. If a knight is bitten by a Droul and not given medical assistance, which requires ridding the body of the poison, they will turn into a zombie themselves over a period of 24 hours, slowly losing control. There are two survivor camps on the Cradle, each hostile to the other. The two camps are Alpha, which is currently attempting to find an easy to make and use cure, while Beta is a camp set on surviving in the world, wanting to push the Drouls back into the Depths. Thievery is a common. Ammo is a rare thing to find, and swords are in poor durability. Weapons such as bombs are almost never seen, because of their high costs and few uses. One odd thing did happen, though. Most knights lucky enough to not be infected seemed to obtain, rather unnatural power, super powers if you will call them that. Will you join the Alpha camp, to research for a better future, the Beta camp, to live in the current world and keep the zombies back, or will you be a lone wolf, and fight for your survival?

-----------------------------
Rules
-----------------------------
1) Do not power play without the owner's permission.
2) Any star gear is allowed, but the higher tier it is, the less durability it will have. Example : Protosword, great condition. Final Flourish, mostly broken.
3) No insulting other people OoC.
4) Please refrain from killing off another persons character without permission.

Another Caltamir..........

Name: Aaron Duskwalker Caltamir(a.k.a Reaper 426)
Gender: Male
Personality: Stealthy and refined, but can have a fiery temper.
Appearance: Dark Grey Flak Jacket, Kat Claw Cowl
Gear: (If it is a weapon/shield, what condition is it in or how much ammo do you have for it?)All Caltamirs auto have Silverslicer(4* sword), an ancient relic of the family. He also has a Defender(2* shield).
Costume: (Optional) In more casual situations he wears his signature Chapeau, the Dark Green Chapeau(Not a real chapeau).
Power: (If you wish to remain a normal knight without powers, you may.) As agile as a snake, and as deadly as a cobra. His eyes are strangely unnerving.
Alliance: (Alpha, Beta, None, Swarm, or other. If other, please explain) Ex-Swarm. (Explained in bio.)
Bio: (Explain the back story of your character. Preferred) As a young child, Aaron was strange. He was quick and to the point with virtually everything. Exactly 3 years before the invasion of the Drouls, he joined the Spiral Knights, as he was a Caltamir. He quickly rose up the ranks. One day in the clockworks, a routine mission went wrong. Aaron was consumed by the Swarm, and became one of them. 2 years later, a Knight accidentally freed him of this curse, costing the Knight his life. Aaron is a lone-wolf style character, but he would gladly join any camp.
Age: 24

Hazardous-Anomaly

App

Name: Alice Heron
Gender: Female

Personality: A tricky and conniving old woman, has survived this long by coasting off the generosity of others and selling various items. She is deceitfully aware of her deteriorated condition, and uses it to bolster the prices in her "store" by pity and fraud.

Appearance: Very thin figure with gaunt looking cheeks and sunken hazel eyes. Her crimson hair was cut short crokedly, probably with a knife, and seems to poke out ounderneath any kind of headwear. However, most of these features are obscured underneath the large gray cloak she wears. Though, the cloak itself is as much a representation of her status as her hair is; frayed at the edges, and various holes in the fabric.

Gear: Red Saber-Less suited for combat, and more for slow-cooking whatever meat she can find, this trusty 'blade' is in excellent condition

"Spitfire" Flaregun(6 flares)- Reserved for times of panic, this flaregun is a universal plight for help that's visable from a very long distance. Very good at starting fires too...

Costume: Large grey cloak that covers her, and conceals her face, alongside a small satchel on her back that she uses to store any worthwile items she finds.

Power: "Lucky Scrounger"- Always seem to find something that others miss amoungst rubble and storage containers.

Alliance: Beta Camp

Bio: Alice wasn't always like this, it's thois world that changed her, killed off her pride. When the epidemic hit, freindships died, alliences shattered, the only thing that mattered was survival. There was a time when she had been a proud knight who helped others when she could, standing tall with her shield brothers and sister, serveing with honor and dignity. But it's funny how fast honor and dignity can die out when you havent eaten in four days.

Age: 48

Hexlash

Name: Fen
Gender: Female
Personality: Solemn, dutiful and stern. Her heart is cold and shattered.
Appearance: Short, silver hair, that sweeps across her brow. with dark brown eyes. She is lean and agile.
Gear: Cutter, edges worn, but she keeps it sharp with a whetstone.
Costume: A faded Magic Cloak, dusty and brown. It is tattered and frayed, but she never takes it off.
Power: (If this is permittable) Immune to the zombie-ism. She does not know this however.
Alliance: None.
Bio: All she had left was her Father's Cutter. She never deserved to see her parents succumb to each other. The scream her mother wailed as her father's Cutter came down upon her, rang in Fen's mind every waking. When the poison's mark creeped its way across her father, he begged her to end his suffering. With no other choice, she drove the point of the Cutter through his heart, leaving behind her last family and her emotions. She sharpens her Cutter everyday, subconsciously wiping away the pain that will never leave her.
Age : 17

@Hex
Everything is good except the power. What would the power be used for in the story?

Mon, 05/05/2014 - 07:31

Hexlash

Glad you asked >:D

Well, wouldn't it be a bit intriguing if the Alpha group discovered this scarred young knight that just so happened to have immunity to the the thing they seek the cure for? Wouldn't it be troublesome (and make for a good story) if this girl just so happens to refuse assisting the Alpha group? ;)

Hopefully you catch my drift lol

Liminori

AHEM!

Cough*Thelastofusmuch?*COUGH
What I see here when I think about zombie esque things, and someone wants to have immunity, It rings my Main Character alarm.
Mary Sues and Gary Stues. Things like that.
ALSO... Come on, who hasn't thought about certain things (Movies, stories, etc.) To attempt to implement them?
But... Go ahead. I want to see where this goes, Hexlash.
It's a wonderful character idea, and story.
---
@Archemiday: I know that this is kind of stretching it, but- Are AI characters allowed?
And, Since this is a zombie apocalypse thing (Sort of, but not the same), Would It be fine if I said that electronics could be corrupted by said (Insert Generic Survival Enemy here)?

Mon, 05/05/2014 - 11:26

Hexlash

@Liminori

Oh, I didn't even consider it in that manner. I was thinking more "The Maze Runner" style immunity, wherein multiple people possess the resistance. But your point does make me reconsider her role; I'll make her as subtle in the plot as would be logical, Challenge Accepted.

I also didn't even notice the possible inspiration from The Last of Us, lol, #LivingUnderaSnipe

Mon, 05/05/2014 - 12:57

#10

Archemiday-Thebard

In that case, accepted, as long as she doesn't find out, and then go on a complete Droul stomping rampage. If she gets a bite taken out of her, she's still going to bleed. An AI would be ok if was fragile, required a good bit of upkeep, and Drouls could poison said AI, shutting them down, but they wouldn't turn into a zambie.

Also, this is a revival of a Rp I made in summer 2013, before I even knew what Last of Us was. Maybe before it was a thing. So, it might be LoU inspired now, but not back then.

I'll work on my apps and making the RP thread later today.

Playerman

Huh.

Interesting concept, grabbed my attention.

Kind of a bad idea to just let the RPer's run with no first instruction, you'll want to set the scene a bit.

~~~~~

Name: Carter.

Gender: Male.

Personality: Timid around others. Incredibly paranoid of the Infection. Can be quite clumsy at times. Can have temper issues, but quite rare during this time period.

Appearance: Dark Hair, Dark Eyes. Just barely above average height, and thin. His body is very well built, however.

Gear: - Ascended Calibur, pretty well kept for a higher level sword.
- Solid Cobalt Helm, it's been beaten far too many times. Many scratches and dents. Takes it off for a breather occasionally, leaving it hanging by a strap on his belt.
- Vitasuit Plus, been beaten as well, but you can see many clothes and straps tied together to hold it together.
- Great Defender, and a Plate Shield. Both have their share of dents. He uses one, and stows away the other in his tent.

Costume: Keeps a red scarf with him.

Power: Can set up traps and forts with minimal supplies ( an elevated platform, the old leaves-pitfall trap, etc.)

Alliance: Beta.

Bio: Carter was a very shaky person nowadays. Insane, some could say. But, he's just scared. Carter had his share of good friends and enemies before the sudden outbreak. When he saw them invade, well, he just got up and ran. Must have went a few miles before he ran up a tree.

And then he waited. And eventually, he received word of a rally point. So he ran there. With his brains absolutely horrible, and him being terrified of wandering alone, Carter walled himself up behind the Beta Squad. Trained soldiers. He wouldn't have to worry too much about the Drouls now, right? Though, just in case, he would place himself near the higher up's tent. And build a few traps. Yes, this should work.

Age : 21.

~~~~~

Also, just a question. Are people allowed to use the special shields (Striker, Recon, and Guardian shields)?

UH.

Oh look, It's Shinta- I mean, Carter! Yeah...

KAGEROU PROJECT.
Blah.
That red scarf though. Hehehe- If you've read/seen/heard anything by Jin, then you might know.
If not, Search for Mekakucity Actors for the anime, Or Kagerou Project for the songs/ manga.

Okay, you win.

Name: Penelope Jane
Appearance
Gender: female
Personality & Bio: Wisecracking, deadpan-snarking, and cynical as heck, Penny Jane is fun to be around despite her apparently grim demeanor.

Gear: Sealed Sword, Swiftstrike Buckler, Solid Cobalt Armor
Costume: shown above in Appearance link
Power: gifted with superior strength beyond the usual limits of her gender.
Allegiance: Alpha Camp

Now hardened by his past griefs Malle relentlessly kills the ghouls who have plagued Cradle and searches for a cure.

Eheh.

Well then. I could probably get along well with Jane.
The image seems slightly out of place, but would work just fine. Maybe it's just the background that's playing tricks on my mind...
That's just my opinion though.

And now... To decide whom is worthy enough to find Kuuya.
People, Choose a number from 1-6, So I can roll a six sided die.
Hehehe...
(Specifically 1-6, as there are 7 apps, One being my own.)

derp

I'll balance out the gender ratio. The camps are about an hour away by walking.

Name: Archemiday
Gender: Male
Personality: Wouldn't kill an innocent person, but would knock them out and rob them blind. Calm around friends. Has an extremely big sweet tooth and would do almost anything for sweets.
Appearance: Has very badly damaged wolver armor, but without it on he has deep blue eyes, short, well kept hair, and wears a blue long sleeve shirt and black pants.
Gear: a modified bolt action Antigua (18 rounds), a cracked defender with bolted on metal plates, a tempered calibur in moderate condition, and a lute.
Power: The music he plays has effects on others based on emotion.
Alliance: None
Bio: Before the infection, he was nice, generous, and friendly. Now, he's worried, a thief, and almost never open to make friends. He didn't lose anyone from the infection that he knew. The only thing the infection had given him was isolation.

Well, well, well...
Mirror, tell me something...
Who's the luckiest of all?
THINSLAYER.
I tried a test roll. 3.
I roll again. 3.
Again... 3.*
YA SEE A PATTERN HERE?!?
Anyway. Kuuya is yours, once you find her at an undetermined location...
Unless someone wants to just ignore everything, run full speed ahead, and magically find her.
Hah... (Girl Sense) PFFHAH.

I feel as if a misconception has been made.
Kuuya is neither human (Though she WAS) nore Android/robot. She is an AI living inside technology.
But... I'll roll with it. I guess she'll be a projection of sorts, despite the empty battery.

Vatarian

Name: VatarianGender:

Name: Vatarian
Gender: male
Alliance: None. Former Vanguard of the Spiral Order. Went rogue after its presence on Cradle was dissolved.
Gear: Crown of the fallen. Right side of helm is crushed and hideously burned, resulting in brain-damage and Vatarian's somewhat erratic personality. Armor of The Fallen. Hem is ragged and heavily ripped. Right gauntlet is rebuilt with jagged shards of shrapnel and junk, giving it a twisted claw-like look. Broken Divine Avenger. Still functions, albiet in a limited capacity and with reduced power.
Crest of Almire. In relatively good condition, but pitted and beginning to rust after years of use and exposure to the elements and various attacks.
Other details of appearance: Dread-seal covering face. Broken military maedate. Personal color is purple. Ragged black cloak partially covers helm and armor to keep dust and grip out of armor and Vatarian's permanantly wounded head. Unusually tall, though not as big as Feron or a Trojan.

Owns a five-star Seraphynx with a broken wing.

Personality: Vatarian is usually calm and thoughtful, but wastes little time with casual talk and is quick to employ violence with those who win his ill-favor. Fiercly protective of his Seraphynx. Brain damage results in occasional violent outbursts and fits of temper.

Powers: Incredible physical endurance. Unbreakable will, resulting in reduced succeptability to the mental powers of others and an unnatural drive to survive and succeed.

Age: Unknown. Face is unlined beneath helmet and HUD, despite horrible scarring on right side.

Why it's elementary, my dear Sean.

You see, through the establishment of a fictional deviation of mainstream stimulus, one is able to confer upon a mutual circumstance in a collaborative fashion, in an effort to explore psychological developments from which alternative perspectives converge, originating from a central plot device.

In other words, for fun! :D

In response to Post #34.

Raigaizam, I think we need the Moderator to operate this so called "Camp Leader." Until then, someone could possibly lead you to this leader, only to be lost as to what to do next.
