[i]Long, long ago, the human race was happy. We grew more powerful, our empire grew bigger, we conquered the very globe itself. We controlled the air. We controlled the oceans. We controlled everything we saw.[/i] [i]But Mother Nature doesn't appreciate hubris.[/i] [i]In an instant, it was all torn away as the Convulsion shattered the very fabric of reality. Great rifts opened, tears in space and time that tempt travelers in with lurid promises, then do...something, nobody truly knows what. Now we, the humans, have regressed, traveled back through the pathways of control and technology until we live in a state like the Dark Age, scattered villages trying to hold themselves together, with no ruler or figure of authority to hold us together. The world, tired of being controlled, is now the controller. Scattered across this harsh world in which you must survive are remnants of the past; Cell phones, guns, computers, lamps, hidden in isolated pockets not yet found by the Rifts or the extradimensional creature that come from them.[/i] [i]Can you survive? Can you prosper? Will you listen to the song of the Void?[/i] ______________ Before anyone says anything, yes, I am well aware that the into is kinda meh. Moving past that, though, it actually does give a decent idea of what this RP is about. You simply have to survive in the hostile world that surrounds you. CS: Name: Age: Gender: Personality: Appearance (Picture if possible): Preferred weapon: Profession (If applicable): Etc.: [hider=Rules] Simple: Don't be a jerk. Try to use proper spelling and grammar, if possible. Use common sense. No meta-gaming, nor god-modding.[/hider] Approved Characters: [hider=Lemons' Characters]Name: Runia Venthrym (VEN-thrim) Age: 21 Gender: Female Personality: Runia is a quiet girl, preferring the company of nature to that of people. She is mostly pacifistic and extremely caring, but if something angers her enough, then she will snap, and when she snaps, she can be terrifying, as well as outright dangerous. Though she isn’t very strong, she does know how to use a dagger or two, though nobody quite knows why. A word often used to describe her by those who have seen her, but not too closely, is demure. However, she knows a good deal of skills involving hunting, survival, etc. etc. etc, since when she’s not working, she’s probably in the woods. Appearance: [img=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S9DxOncTBO4/ThuKtdEwj7I/AAAAAAAAAJ8/N4LF96MionM/s1600/h4754_anime-girl.jpg] Preferred Weapon: A pair of slim stilettos with ivory handles and white-dyed blades. Exactly how they were dyed white, nobody knows, and nobody feels comfortable enough around her to ask. The only thing they’ve ever heard from Runia about them is that they’ve been passed down through her family for a long, long time. Profession (If applicable): Runia works as a washerwoman in the nearest village. Etc.: Although she indeed has a preferred set of stilettos, her preferred tactic is NOT using them and instead being diplomatic and talking things out, not simply fighting. As stated before, she is mostly a pacifist.[/hider] [hider=Sylverblu's Characters]Name: Rubix Age: 27 Gender: Male Personality: Rubix - the perpetually disgruntled. He isn't a particularly happy fellow, and seems to hold a great deal of contempt for humanity because of its innate "laziness." This is likely due to the fact that his mother left his father immediately after giving birth as she, "didn't feel like dealing with a child," and his father named him simply off of the fact that he was solving an ancient puzzle cube at the time. Otherwise, Rubix is cunning and sharp, never missing a single detail, and always prepared with a comeback. Appearance (Picture if possible): [img=http://i.imgur.com/aXfXg.jpg] On his left shoulder, he has a tattoo of square made of nine smaller, multicolored squares forming a Rubik's Cube pattern. He's kind of obsessed with the motif. Preferred weapon: Two slate black rods of unknown origin, each bearing a square comprised of nine smaller silver squares towards the top to form brands. Otherwise, they're just two beating sticks with no shape other than being long cylinders. Profession (If applicable): Professional vandal. Is paid by others to destroy another's property, reputation, or life. Etc. Would never be caught dead without a pair of dice, a deck of cards, and guess what... a Rubik's Cube.[/hider] [hider=User's Characters]Name: Doctor Charles Richardson Age: 43 Gender: Male Personality: calm, solitary, drinker, dark, creepy, "insane", over powering, intelligent, stubborn, aragont, gambler. Appearance (Picture if possible): White silk gloves, no right eye, black formal toruses, red weather beaten coat, black waist coat, log ornate wooden cane, brown combed hair. Preferred weapon: he has and prefers the use of a pistole but will settle for a crossbow Profession (If applicable): Doctor and Barbour (as they did the same thing) Etc.: [/hider] [hider=WiccanRose15's Characters]Name: Adriene Age: 25 Gender: Female Personality: Not many people know Adriene well enough to know her personality. The few that do would find her difficult to describe. At first she seems somewhat psychotic but she is far too stable to be labeled as such, most of the time. She is a genius and often spouts random facts. If anyone could get close enough they would find her to have a macabre sense of humor but an artists soul. Appearance: [img]http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n364/serenifly/River/Behind%20the%20Scenes/riversbehind2.jpg[/img] Preferred weapon: Pistol but she is skilled in almost every kind of combat imaginable. Profession: Bounty hunter Etc.: She is a gifted dancer [/hider] Just to let everyone know, my timezone is, at the moment, EDT. Soon enough, however, it will return to EST as Daylight Savings Time stops.
