The Remnant

The Remnant

"Oil and Blood"

OVERVIEW

At the far end of the Gas Road lies the sinister and ancient citadel of Terminus Est, home of the Remnant. Behind the crumbling concrete and scrap metal walls rise endless flaming spires and smoke stacks, where oil is refined into fuel for the Remnant's war machines.

CULTURE

Hider

Hider

The Remnant is obsessed with genetic purity, and any sign of mutation is immediately stamped out. Citizens of the Remnant consider themselves the aristocracy of the new world, they protect their bloodline jealously, constantly raiding other settlements for children who are free of the taint of mutation. If captives are indeed found to be free from mutation, they become citizens themselves. If not, they become slaves...or food.

The Remnant does not possess much technological sophistication, but it does enjoy the benefits of plentiful gasoline and sheer weight of numbers, since pureblood humans can breed with far fewer complications than many mutants and half-lives.

Outside their fortress, citizens are rarely seen without rebreathers or gas masks. [WIP]

RESROUCES

ROLLS

Genetic Make Up
Full Lives: Your clan is made up primarily of genetically pure and untainted humans. Certainly a rare sight in this day and age, you’ll draw more attention than you’d think. A temporary genetic fluke or something more permanent?(6)

Cultural Meta-Group
Raiders: An unfortunate truth of the wastes is the prevalence of raider gangs. Savage and violent, they typically take more than they make but there are exceptions. Most don’t settle down in any place for too long, and tend to use up what they have quickly. Many treat the apocalypse as a sort of hedonistic paradise, murdering for fun, using homemade narcotics, and generally raping to their hearts content. (45)

Leadership
Democracy/Consensus: A relative rarity in the post-apocalypse, the group has decided that no one individual holds all the power, but generally makes decisions based on everyones input. (74)

Cultural Quirks
Death Cult: Unsurprisingly among the blighted folk of the wastes, some have taken to worshipping death, or the idea of a “Good death”. Perhaps it’s a mythical afterlife, a desire to see the world well and truly die, or simply a nihilistic belief that death is an inevitable constant in life, for whatever reason this group worships death itself.

X Distinctive Icon: A motif or symbol runs throughout the groups structures, clothes, and vehicles. Maybe it’s a specific animal or object, or maybe it’s something less specific like bullets or flames.
(1)
(70)
(Rerolled due to RNGesus fuckery)

Distinctive Appearance
Leathers: Never ride without your distinctive leather jackets and other assorted biker gear. Never.

Gas Masks: Never seen without their masks, they might have a single distinctive style or just whatever they find. In either case, it certainly makes for an imposing appearance in most situations. Maybe they only do it for that intimidation factor, maybe it’s because they live in a particularly nasty patch.

Jewelry: Somehow the group has gotten a hold of a sizeable amount of bling. Maybe it’s hand-made from scrap, or maybe it’s actual treasures from the old world. The group takes great pride in it.
(68, 41, 77)

Unique/Exclusive Resource
Guzzolene: Black gold. Everyone needs it, and it isn’t too rare to come by but not too many have the means to refine it. This group does, and it can be extremely lucrative. (1)

Equipment Quality
Ramshackle: Armor is cobbled together, guns are hand tooled, and houses/clothes are generally not in the best state. Pretty standard for most people, unfortunately.(17)

Motor-Pool General Make Up
Classics: Muscle Cars, roadsters, and trucks. The standard rides for most in the wasteland. Tough, reliable, and intimidating.(67)

Special Vehicle Shit
Shiny and Chrome: The group takes exceptional care to polish their vehicles to a brilliant chrome shine. Blind your foes with your swag and the shiny paint seemingly correlates with higher skill among drivers. Choose to re-roll this or Black on Black if you get both.

Extra Armor: YExtra armor bolted onto the vehicles. No matter the type, they gain extra protection with minimal speed penalties.
(2, 88)

Flagship Vehicle
Destruction Vehicle: A huge construction vehicle re-outfitted for combat. Maybe a huge excavator, an armoured bulldozer, or a mini-Bagger 288.(14)

The Collegia

The Collegia

"The Old World Anew"

---

---

OVERVIEW

The Collegia is a collection of mutants who are held up in an old university buried in the dunes. Their home is fairly irradiate however due to the mutated genetics this does not bother them. The Collegia claims to be one of the most advanced groups in the wasteland, a claim not unfounded. They are always on the look for old world memorabilia and books of knowledge to add to their "Arkives" and often make scavenger runs for general resources and old world goods. Runs that are often prey of raider attacks.

CULTURE

(Based on your appearance, cultural quirks, meta group and genetic purity)

RESOURCES

The Collegia's primary resources are energy and water, collected by machines they've created. Most of water is collected from rain as well as an underground spring that the mutants have managed to tap into and harness; the water isn't the cleanest for human use but mutants are more than able to drink it. Electricity is created by ways of wind power that line the top of their walls and on high roofs.

Through the use of jury-rigged machines and creations, the Collegia's cottage industry is capable of supporting itself through machines like rollers, stamping presses and other tools and forges. Through trading with others, the Collegia obtains scrap and raw resources it needs but cannot always produce by trading Water and Power at high prices; they get away with this form of brutal capitalism as there aren't many places that offer nearly as much water or power as they do.

LEADERSHIP

(Describe your "government" style as well as your leader/s and their flagship if you want here. Flagship can also be put in military)

MILITARY

(Boast about your boiz and their cars, obviously based on motor pool make up and special shit rolls. Feel free to expand on it with whatever else you can think of, but vehicles are the main attraction here, word descriptions are fine if you can't find a picture to match)

ROLLS

Genetic Make Up
Mutants: Those truly warped, or some would say adapted, to the new world. Barely human looking, every mutant group is unique in their phenotype but they all share a uniform resilience to radiation and toxins. Generally feared and hated by less altered stock, the smart know they can be a valuable asset and that their goods are not “tainted” as some would have you believe.

Cultural Meta-Group
Settlers: The only “normal” people left. Generally just trying to make it through their daily lives without too many violent intrusions. Have built the most since the apocalypse, and generally behave the most like people from the old world. Don’t mistake civilization for civility or peacefulness though. Many are just as cold and merciless as raiders, as they have to be to survive these days.

Leadership
Dictatorship: Whether they go by mayor, king, chief, tyrant, boss or any other blandishment of power, these men are the movers and shakers in the wastes. Strong willed and often ruthless, singular individuals often take charge of small groups, as has been the case in every historical era. They may have a close knit inner circle, but they always rule with absolute power when it comes down to it.

Cultural Quirks
Old World Blues: A pervasive nostalgia about the old world runs through the group, even if they weren’t alive to see it. They might collect old world artifacts, try to take after what they think are old world values, or have an unrealistic drive to rebuild the old world somehow.

Intellectuals: In a world that constantly demands 100% effort just to stay alive, it’s very rare to see a group even partially dedicated to mental pursuits, but here one is. Usually considered too brainy by other groups, these fellows spend their off time reading salvaged books and maybe even doing a little science/inventing/archaeology. Hold themselves to a higher standard of intelligence/knowledge than others.

Distinctive Appearance
Swaddled: Wrapped up in distinctive trappings, these people’s skin is rarely actually seen. Maybe enviroment suits they never take off their bodies, maybe cloth wraps all over themselves to protect from dust and grit like a desert nomad. In any case, they might be seen as exceptionally mysterious due to it.

Uniforms: Standardized appearance across the group and it’s leadership. Makes your group seem more cohesive, but can be hard to maintain.

Body of Knowledge: The group preserves information on the bodies of it’s members. Technical diagrams scarified onto their chests, covered in tattooed text, etc.

Unique/Exclusive Resource
Power: Not the metaphorical kind, the actual electric kind. Most people want it, but not everyone has it. Most of it gets made with gasoline generators but some have wind and even solar farms in working order.

Water: The wet stuff. The real lifeblood of the wastes. In short supply, so those that control it are invariably very well off.

Equipment Quality
Well-crafted: Just because it was made in the post apocalypse, doesn’t mean it isn’t good. Well made armor, guns are machined with actual technique and thought, and houses/clothes are a little more respectably made.

Motor-Pool General Make Up
Armored: Old world military or post apocalyptic designs. Incredibly tough, dependable, and powerful. Not the absolute fastest, but if you need to be secure getting somewhere? There are non-better.

Special Vehicle Shit
Extra Armor: Extra armor bolted onto the vehicles. No matter the type, they gain extra protection with minimal speed penalties.

Big guns: Heavy machine guns, flamethrowers, maybe even an autocannon. The group can pack some serious heat in a vehicular combat situation.

Flagship Vehicle
Mega War Rig: Huge, heavily armoured, able to carry a ton of cargo, and manned/gunned like a fortress. War Rigs command the roads, and anyone who’s anyone has one. Generally made of a truck or two stapled together, but other bodies are possible. A combine for example. Mega War Rigs are gods amongst beast, a literal rolling fortress although very resource heavy.

@ClocktowerEchos I am interested as hell!

@ClocktowerEchos I am interested as hell!

@The Narrator

Here's ye rollies.

ROLLS

Genetic Make Up
Part-Lives: The general norm, people die of cancer or other genetic problems fairly young but some make it to old age. Wouldn’t appear too ugly or malformed by today’s standards, but certainly not the cream of the crop physically.

Cultural Meta-Group
Settlers: The only “normal” people left. Generally just trying to make it through their daily lives without too many violent intrusions. Have built the most since the apocalypse, and generally behave the most like people from the old world. Don’t mistake civilization for civility or peacefulness though. Many are just as cold and merciless as raiders, as they have to be to survive these days.

Leadership
Oligarchy: A small sect of the group lords over the rest. Similar to single leadership in their absolute power, but spread over a small group rather than one man. Almost as common.

Cultural Quirks
Death Cult: Unsurprisingly among the blighted folk of the wastes, some have taken to worshipping death, or the idea of a “Good death”. Perhaps it’s a mythical afterlife, a desire to see the world well and truly die, or simply a nihilistic belief that death is an inevitable constant in life, for whatever reason this group worships death itself.

Distinctive Icon: A motif or symbol runs throughout the groups structures, clothes, and vehicles. Maybe it’s a specific animal or object, or maybe it’s something less specific like bullets or flames.

Distinctive Appearance
Leathers: Never ride without your distinctive leather jackets and other assorted biker gear. Never.

Spiky: Their armor and cars are covered in a profusion of spines, blades, and other sharp nastiness. Does it serve a technical purpose or is it just to look badass? Only they know.

Unique/Exclusive Resource
Power: Not the metaphorical kind, the actual electric kind. Most people want it, but not everyone has it. Most of it gets made with gasoline generators but some have wind and even solar farms in working order.

Equipment Quality
Ramshackle: Armor is cobbled together, guns are hand tooled, and houses/clothes are generally not in the best state. Pretty standard for most people, unfortunately.

Motor-Pool General Make Up
Mega-vehicle: Is it a train/boat on wheels? An enormous mining dumptruck? Three tractor trailers welded together? Whatever it is, it’s all your group needs. A vehicle that’s easily the size of an entire fleet of smaller cars. Flagship vehicles are rolled into this, and roll again on this table for what the handful of other vehicles are that the group has are. (GM note: This should basically mean that you have a handful of larger vehicles instead of a big fleet of smaller/normal vehicles)

Special Vehicle Shit
Turbo-Charged: Engines are supercharged and often fitted with nitrous. The group's cars will be capable of incredible bursts of speed, at the cost of some special maintenance and materials.

Extra Armor: Extra armor bolted onto the vehicles. No matter the type, they gain extra protection with minimal speed penalties.

Flagship Vehicle
Concert on Wheels: Like a drummer boy but way more awesome. Maybe it’s a squad of taiko drummers, a lone shredder on a flamethrower guitar, or an entire outfit of post-apocalyptic metalheads. Whatever it is, you’ll certainly not be going anywhere unnoticed, and it’s a very good way to get someone excited for killing.

In case you still wanted to see the RNG behind all of this.

[The Narrator]

@ClocktowerEchos No reroll needed! Already have a vision in my head.

[Chairman Stein]

Hm, yeah I'll throw in my interest. This could be fun.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Hm, yeah I'll throw in my interest. This could be fun.

@Chairman Stein

Here be thy rolls:

Again, dice rolls can be found in the dice rolls if you want to see the prayers to RNGesus, one reroll is allowed so choose wisely if you do.

ROLLS

Genetic Make Up
Wretched: Riddled with tumours and malformations, these poor sods are kept at an arm's length by everyone else. Ugly and deformed, think Hills have eyes. Very high infant mortality, and fewer still make it to adulthood. Always in need of breeders.

Cultural Meta-Group
Mercs: Professional killers, these men fight and kill for a living. Feared throughout the wastes, despite their relative peacefulness compared to raiders. They kill when they want to, but only if it benefits their agenda. Well trained and heartless, they fly many flags but are united by common ruthlessness and battlefield skill. Religious extremists, political/philosophical ideologues, or just plain killers for hire.

Leadership
Dictatorship: Whether they go by mayor, king, chief, tyrant, boss or any other blandishment of power, these men are the movers and shakers in the wastes. Strong willed and often ruthless, singular individuals often take charge of small groups, as has been the case in every historical era. They may have a close knit inner circle, but they always rule with absolute power when it comes down to it.

Cultural Quirks
Death Cult: Unsurprisingly among the blighted folk of the wastes, some have taken to worshipping death, or the idea of a “Good death”. Perhaps it’s a mythical afterlife, a desire to see the world well and truly die, or simply a nihilistic belief that death is an inevitable constant in life, for whatever reason this group worships death itself.

Not the Lingua Franca: The group doesn’t speak the standard language of the wastes. Maybe they speak a different old world tongue, or maybe a new language that has emerged since the apocalypse. In any case, they have trouble interacting with other groups and require interpreters to treat with them.

Distinctive Apperance
Swaddled: Wrapped up in distinctive trappings, these people’s skin is rarely actually seen. Maybe enviroment suits they never take off their bodies, maybe cloth wraps all over themselves to protect from dust and grit like a desert nomad. In any case, they might be seen as exceptionally mysterious due to it.

Unique/Exclusive Resource
Scrap: Everyone wants it, everyone needs it, most people have it. This group has a specific type, or an extreme profusion of it, and they use it to barter for whatever else they need.

Equipment Quality
Ramshackle: Armor is cobbled together, guns are hand tooled, and houses/clothes are generally not in the best state. Pretty standard for most people, unfortunately.

Motor Pool Make Up
Custom: Either customized to unrecognizable extents or built from the ground up, these cars and trucks don’t fit into any pre-war category. Generally prone to mechanical problems and ramshackle stylings, but common and easily repaired.

Special Shit
Turbo-Charged: Engines are supercharged and often fitted with nitrous. The group's cars will be capable of incredible bursts of speed, at the cost of some special maintenance and materials.

De-Construction Equipment: Cars are mounted with buzzsaws, mini-excavators, and plows for wrecking enemy vehicles.

Flagship Vehicle
Legendary Car: It’s not a giant warmachine, or even all that impressive compared to some other things, but it’s the perfect blend of fast, tough, and reliable. This car is everything anyone could ever want and it’s certainly made a name for itself. When a group rolls up with this thing, people know who they are. Takes the form of whatever your generic type of vehicle is.

[Chairman Stein]

@ClocktowerEchos I'll reroll my genetic makeup, but besides that I dig most of this actually.

FML, I don't know if i'm physically able to take on another RP and I've never done an NRP but... jebus. This is singing to my soul.

Before I slap down my interest, what's your posting specifications?

@Mae

Umm... I'd say high casual?

Just make good post at least 2 paragraphs long I guess, shouldn't be hard to manage that or even go over it.

[Mae]

@ClocktowerEchos Awesome! How often do you expect posts?

[ClocktowerEchos]

@ClocktowerEchos Awesome! How often do you expect posts?

@Mae

Umm... as often as you can? At least once maybe twice a week?

Just normal RP writing and post requirements, dunno how this requires so much explanation lol

[Lucidnonsense]

Hrmmm Might be interested in joining, had a really cool idea but not sure if the Dice gods will favor me. My plan was wandering traders who are interested in perserving knowledge, they ran out of paper a long time ago so they write on EVERYTHING. Well here goes nothing, im sure I can think of something else if the roll isnt in my favor.
