[OOC] Sea of Dunes (A Mad Max / Fallout style RP)

[Dasomen]

first film for mad max may set max up but it does little to show how crazy the world gets. Its why when people ask me about the mad max series i generaly say you can skip the fist movie as heretical as that sounds.

As for the fallout stuff, all those nuclear powered vehicles are in the world as is the energy weapons, power armor, robots, ect.

As for rolls, hmmm

Glass boy: generaly a non combat roll. the scientest, medic, and schollar of a group. the one who can use old technology found in old bunkers, ruins, and elsewhere.

black finger: another general noncombat roll though that doesn't mean they dont see combat. Black fingers are of course in charge of maintaining, repairing, and building vehicles. black fingers will ride along with gear heads and fury riders to do repairs on the go. example, your car catches fire because someone threw a firebomb at it, black finger crawls up to extinguish the fire.

War Boy: your main combatants. they live for the fight. think future vikings of the post apocalypse. melee combat, ranged combat, unconventional combat, it's what they do best. driving? not so much.

Gear Head: these are the drivers. the wasteland is too vast and too dangerous to simply travel by foot for the most part. this is where the gear heads come in. they drive vehicles to and fro. this isn't strictly a combat class but they do see combat as raiders decide to come and give them a bad day as they drive across the wastes. they get the war boys where they need to go and they generally aren't very good in a fight outside of their vehicle.

Fury Rider: a combination of war boy and gear head. just as adept on foot as they are behind the wheel. Fury riders are rare for the most part.

you won't always be in your vehicle. inside ruins many times the vehicle won't fit and you'll have to get out to go dungeon delving.

[Diabolic]

Almost finished I hope... I think its ok so far, as rules go.

[Komo]

I've only seen Fury road. But can girls be War boys?
And what was Furiousa? Was she a gear head?

[Dasomen]

like i said earlier, they're just titles. Furiousa was like max, she was a fury rider unlike her "sisters" which were breeders. she showed tallent and ability beyond most others. but yes, girls can be war boys.

[Henwen]

HEY yo i'd like in on this, me and TauGirl want to play a couple ladies. Would it be possible for me to play a Doof Warrior?

[Dasomen]

sure

[Diabolic]

pretty sure the CS is finished. If anything needs a-changin' lemme know

[Dasomen]

diabolic, the bio is way too short. i expect something around 3 times as long for a fury rider. Also you'd be in service to the warlord, not roaming about.

[Diabolic]

@Dasomen lol idk anything abt MM, I watched the first one but its been ages, ill have to look into some inspiring things

[Dasomen]

eh don't need to know a lot about mad max. just need to have a pension for post apocalyptic fun times.

[Diabolic]

I need to make room for some RP's as I have enough already haha, but anyways. I'll not be attending this one for the time being, perhaps I will return. It is interesting but I just listed off the ones that I enjoyed moreso at the moment, and ones that are a little more along that I am already invested in. Anyways have a great RP.

[Tsar Gatto]

This sounds amazing!

I've recently watched the new mad max and it was awesome. I'm very familiar with Fallout.

Will work on a CS soon.

[Tsar Gatto]

Here we go. I also have a CS for a Warboy grunt that I should hopefully be able to get up later today.

Username:
Tsar Gatto

Name:
Krux ‘the Eviscerator’

Age:
29

Sex:
Male

Appearance:


Under the worn and battered amour lies a scarred and experienced man, Krux rarely removes his amour or helmet and his skin is now somewhat pale and worn due to the constant rubbing and lack of sunlight. (He also suffers from psoriasis, a skin condition that causes his elbows and knees to be covered in scaly thick patches of skin).

His dark hair once grew thickly and required regular cutting, however as he has aged it has ceased to do so. He has since shaved his head with a rusty blade and now only the occasional scar or cut covers his scalp.

His eyes are always hidden beneath the tinted heavy goggles that protect him from the harsh winds of the world, however they are green and like the rest of his body several scars are littered around them, most notably a deep scar on his left eye that fell only millimetres away from blinding him.

Roll:
Fury Rider

Equipment:
Krux carries a long blade, made from thick heavy scavenged metal. It is similar in size to a longsword however it has one savagely serrated side and the pommel is combined with a set of spiked knuckles allowing him to slash, cut and punch with the blade. The blade itself is covered in rust and the signs of regular repair and maintenance, with only the sharpened edges gleaming.

He also usually carries a moderate supply of rage enhancing stims, psycho, buffout, whatever he can get his hands on really.

Magnum Opus:
Krux drives a vehicle called the ‘Reclaimer’, a converted van with a cage covering the back half. Like most modified vehicles from the Oasis it has an semi-exposed engine block and many modifications that allow it to survive and flourish in the wasteland environment (vents to drive through sandstorms, reinforced suspension to deal with the terrain ect). It has space easily for five warboys and a generous array of weapons included within its husk. An MG turret is affixed to the passenger seat and numerous thundersticks ready to be hurled at enemy vehicles.

Krux is sent to capture or reclaim any who his god Fizzion decrees and that is where the Reclaimer comes best into use. During normal raids/convoys the cage is removed and instead a second MG is affixed, also allowing space for up to another four warboys if need be.

Biography:
Krux was not always a Fury Rider for the god Fizzian, initially being a simple warboy for a now long dead warlord called Krullosk. He gained experience and somehow survived the wasteland into his young adult life, quite the achievement considering the scarcity of resources and lack of safety that surrounded him.

One day Fizzon’s men attacked the cliffside encampment Krux called home, his brothers and friends all perishing with their warlord as they fought back . Krux was one of the few surviving warboys who managed to fight their way back into the encampment towards their lord’s breeders (including his own mother), a narrow cave entrance being the only way in or out. In truth Krux was not acting honorably, hoping to steal a breeder for himself and flee into the wastes).

Soon only Krux stood between the woman and the relentless attackers, having killed many of them with nothing more than a shard of jagged scrap and his bare hands whilst only taking superficial wounds himself. As his strength was about to fail him a powerful booming voice rang down into the cave, commanding the attacking warboys to halt. Fizzion himself strode into the cave and saw that this lone warrior had felled so many and fought with such fury and saw the benefit in sparring him, providing he swore allegiance to Fizzion from this day to his last. Seeing no other option Krux fell to his knees and pledge himself to this new warlord, following which his mother and the other breeders were raped and killed before him.

Once taken to Fizzion’s Oasis Krux marveled at this ‘electricity’, realizing he had made the right decision. He soon came to find that he was not accepted into the ranks of Fizzion’s warboys, and after cracking several skulls he realized he did not care, finding more pleasure amongst the company of the glassboys (especially their female members). With their assistance he constructed his amour and weapons which began to differentiate him from the others and make him stand out on their raids. Soon enough the warboys came around, his skills improving greatly with the proper resources behind him and even starting to drive after an incident with a gearhead and a giant radiated scorpion left him with a car at his fingertips. He started to focus on his driving ability, finding the high octane rush of the chase most satisfying. Eventually his vehincle was destroyed and so with more assistance from the glassboys he eventually built the Reclaimer. Soon enough he was a force in his own right, one of Fizzion’s most dreaded warriors and forces of death and destruction in the wasteland.

@Dasomen Still doing this right?

Also still looking for a possible co-Gm?

Username:
Tsar Gatto

Name:
Skrut 'Skullcrush'

Age:
20

Sex:
Male

Appearance:


Skrut looks on first glance like most of his warboy brothers. White pale skin, engine grease war paint and several scars adorn his body like badges of honour. His eyes are a pale sickly blue and Skrut seems constantly to be hyped up and restless, usually shifting and glancing around at his surroundings. Skrut wars only a tattered dark rag for a scarf and only due to the severe and deadly sandstorms that are somewhat frequent in the wasteland surrounding the oasis. He wears no armour and only covers his bottom half, choosing to fight and ride as topless as the day he came into what remains of this world. His right hand is permanently clasped within a bulky metal power-fist, machinery running up his wrist and augmenting his punch to deliver an unbelievable amount of pressure.

Roll:
War Boy

Equipment:
Skrut, simply put, does not give a shit about his equipment. He will use literally anything to hand to kill the enemies of his God. He carries practically nothing permanently and goes through phases of favouring both guns or melee weapons.

Magnum Opus:
Skrut's magnum Opus is the power-fist type device that is built into his right hand, augmented into his flesh and bone. His hand was once crushed in a raid, shattering the bones and making it all but useless. Fortunately the glassboys were willing to experiment and came up with augmenting a powerfist onto his arm, Skrut only having to endure countless hours of agonising surgery and survive the following infection. Though he came close to death he recovered, and with only a few tweaks and modifications the power fist became a most helpful boon to him and his brothers.

Biography:
There really isn't much to say about Skrut or his history. He was born in the oasis and plans to die historic on the fury road, like all true Warboys do. He is awaited in Valhalla, or at least he believes he is so.

He grew up listening to the tales of glory and victory told by the other warboys, ever eager to get out and prove himself as a fearsome warrior and kill some schlangers. His dream is to die in the service of his god Fizzion in the most glorious way possible, one day having tales of his valour sung loudly in the oasis. He does not play well with others and the glassboys, blackfingers and even some gearheads try to avoid angering him, less he lose it and try to turn them into slag.

[Dasomen]

@Tsar Gatto That is exactly what i was looking for in a fury rider. well not exactly, doesn't explain his driving experience. but it's a good profile none the less. your fury rider is almost good to go. just forgot to describe his equipment. you described his weapons just fine, just forgot what his armor is made out of, what tech he has to survive the wastes, ect. you know, gas masks and the like.

i'd normally question someone's desire to go unarmed and unarmored into a fight, but it's your character. your second profile is good to go.

as for a CO-GM yes i'm still open to it.

[Tsar Gatto]

Okay splendid.

I shall touch up the CS for them both tomorrow. I must admit I rushed them a little towards the end due to being eager.

It is early days but I would be open to such a position if you find me suitable. I'm interested to see how the mix of Mad Max and Fallout will blend together. I believe I need to incorporate more falloutyness into both characters.

Perhaps some kind of light power-fist type device for Skrut.

[Dasomen]

could be his magnum opus.

[seriousarmour]

Is there any activity on this?
