[OOC] Overgrown

[Swarley]

The world has changed. A few years ago, on a day forever known to survivors as "The Apostate", all but less than 20% of the human population of earth disappeared. No one quite knows why it happened, some think aliens, others think a mysterious disease, and others think of it as an act of god. In the years since human's mark on the world had fallen into disarray. Mother Nature claimed what was rightfully hers, cities became overgrown and the wildlife that once lived there reclaimed their spaces, humans were back in the food chain, falling prey to the predators that were once regarded as harmless. Looting still runs rampant in cities, becoming routine. Murder is just another way to survive. Many of those that still survive have gone insane and those that haven't don't know what to do otherwise. What happens to the survival of the species still remains to be seen.

More Info on the World

The world has been overtaken by nature, there hasn't been one building unaffected by this. The cities are covered in nature. This has both it's benefits and it's detriments. While it's now significantly easier for survivors to find food seeing as a lot of it grows naturally. This also means that it's much easier for wild animals to survive in the urban areas, with such a lack of people that will hurt them. This means both a lot of prey that humans can feast on, but also a lot of predators that normally would not be a danger in areas like this.

Some villages have sprung up since the Apostate but most are very ill prepared. They lack most basic essentials such as electricity and running water and most shelters that weren't already built resemble shanty towns. People have tried using the new greenery for farming but the lack of modern irrigation puts their efforts back quite a lot, though some have found limited success.

In the case of equipment, most of the essentials have been used up and ammo is quite scarce. While people may still have things from before the Apostate, many people use household goods as weapons unless they were lucky enough to have had practical weapons beforehand or found them in the years since, most of the shopping malls were raided by looters in the days afterwards. This also means ammo is few and far between, if someone is using a firearm it's highly likely they won't have any bullets for it, or just one or two. That is unless they are part of the Children of God.

Children of God

We are special
We are perfect
We were born in the sight of God
Our suffering bodies will suffer no more
We are children of God

This is chant that rises from their camp every morning. The Children of God are a military organization bent on the destruction of the remaining 20% of humanity. To them the reason the rest of the humans are just a blight on society and that everyone not in the organization was left behind because of their own deeds done before the Apostate. The members of the Children of God believe that they were left behind in order to eliminate these people and as a reward they will be deemed worthy and disappear like the rest of the people that did. They are led by a man who is only known as The Great Annihilator, not much is known about him but it is believed that he was in the military before the Apostate and then created the organization afterwards. Members can be recognized by their green uniforms with a large black patch sewn on the back which has their chant and logo on it. As well members of the Children of God have much better weapons than others who have survived, usually packing assault rifles along with side-arms. Rumours have circulated that they were responsible for the shortage of arms by stockpiling them in their camp.

Characters

Swarley


Name: The Seer (Real Name Unknown)
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Pre-Apostate Occupation: Mental Hospital Patient
Equipment: A medium sized kitchen knife, some fruit, a blanket all carried in a satchel looted from a house near the mental facility.
Personality: A very quiet man, only speaking when spoken to and even then he doesn't speak very often. He usually has a very solemn face as if to suggest past trauma and frequently has the thousand-yard stare as if staring into the very abyss.
History: The Seer is said to see it all. At 16 he locked himself in his room for 12 hours, silently rocking in bed. When the police finally were called to knock down the door he was saying the word "I see it all" over and over again. His parents then believed the best course of action would be to bring him to mental institution. When asked by doctors what he saw he described what he called "The End of Times." The cities had fallen into disarray, covered in lush forestry. Then there was a flash of light and all the trees burst into flames. Then came the shockwave, disintegrating what was left of them, leaving not a trace of anything left of what used to be. Most doctors dismissed it as just part of his psychosis.

The Seer met a friend who called himself The Wolf. The Seer told him of the vision he had. The Wolf had convinced The Seer that his visions were true and that he should act on them and try to stop the events from occurring. Then came The Apostate, this led both The Seer and The Wolf to act on their thoughts. They went to a house nearby the facility and took what they thought to be essential supplies for the coming months including clothes, bags and weapons. Since then they've been trying to find out how to stop the end of the world and restore their hope for the future.
Other: N/A


Name: The Wolf (Real name unknown)
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Pre-Apostate Occupation: Mental Hospital Patient
Equipment: Baseball bat, a jacket, and a few bottles of water, carried in a over the shoulder duffel bag.
Personality: Outspoken and a bit hotheaded, never really one to hold back on his own thoughts even if it may be insensitive to say so.
History: Though the reasons for his incarceration are unclear he was put into a mental institution at a very young age and basically grew up trapped inside this place. He never really had anyone to connect to until he met The Seer. Hearing The Seer tell his story made The Wolf very paranoid and he really felt the need to try to stop this at all costs. When The Apostate happened it made him overwhelmed with joy rather than terrified like it made many others. To him it meant he could finally see the world outside of where he lived for so long. To be free was a virtue he had longed for all his life and now he finally had the chance to actually be free. When they got out of the institution, The Wolf really became more of the muscle of the two, while The Seer could hold his own in a fight The Wolf was much more adept at it than most.

[MatthiasAngel]

(Watch the video (5:27) with a few changes)
Here's a screenshot:


Name: Matthias Angel
Gender: M
Age: 23
Pre-Apostate Occupation: College Student
Equipment: S&W 686 .357 Magnum revolver (0/6), shoulder holster, half-mask respirator, canvas satchel.
Satchel: Magnum ammo (0), Bottled water (2).
Personality: Calm and withdrawn. He has no problem talking to people but generally distrusts people, since you never know what someone will do to survive.
History: Matt was a clean-cut college student before the Apostate. No booze, no drugs, no late nights out. He studied computer science and graphic design and was well on his way to a successful career. The Apostate occurred in his Senior year, just months before his graduation.

Matt was born into the most average family possible. His father worked, his mother was faithful and he was an only child. The only real disaster for him happened when he was four: his father was killed in a car accident. His mother was left to find a job and raise a boy on her own. Unfortunately, the loss of real discipline in the home had a negative impact on Matt very quickly. He became disagreeable and rude, ignoring his mother when he could get away with it, since she no longer had the energy or time to keep him in check. By the time he reached high school he was a loner. No friends, no interest, no ambition. His mother had told him that if he didn't pass his classes he would be kicked out of his home, and since he didn't get along with any of his relatives he accepted the terms, which meant solid C's. Matt's father was smart and had opened an account with interest to pay his way through college, but as far as he was concerned college was as pointless as school. At home he would lounge around, spending free time drawing mindlessly, gaming or sleeping.

Then, in his junior year, a girl sat next to him at lunch. He ignored her immediately. Girls were completely out of the question in his life, and they generally got the hint quickly and left him alone. To his irritation, and surprise, this girl did not. She grinned and almost seemed to enjoy it. She had introduced herself as Amethyst "Amie" Jane, transferring to his school for her junior and senior year. She was a pleasant, optimistic person who had decided that no one should be alone, regardless of their attitude. Unwilling to spend the energy to tell her to buzz off, Matt dealt with her sitting beside him at lunch every day.

Very slowly she began to change him. He began mumbling to her occasionally, usually to inform her of his annoyance, only to have her smirk and remain seated. It evolved into a few sentences per week, then per day, until she had an actual conversation with him. The trend continued through their senior year. Amie had been interested in computer science and, since he had no better ideas, he followed along. When college rolled around, Amie made an interesting offer. She was transferring to a university on a full scholarship, but she had nowhere to live. She wanted to rent an apartment, since her house was two hours from the college, but it was expensive and she had no friends near enough to room with her. She asked if Matt would be willing to move in with her, paying half the rent and living just a few miles from a university. Matt was looking forward to moving away from his mom. He begrudgingly accepted the offer on the condition that Amie leave him alone most of the time and let him borrow her textbooks. She agreed.

All went well for the first two semesters. Each gave the other plenty of space. Amie didn't wake Matt up when she got up early and Matt didn't keep Amie up late. Their mutual tolerance began to evolve into a more loose friendship, and Amie became the first person ever to learn about Matt's life. Life was looking up.

Then the Apostate happened. Matt had been home for a weekend when it happened. Amie had been at the apartment. The details were foggy, but only a few things really mattered. Matt's mother was killed. He survived, but soon after was attacked at home. People, wearing green uniforms with black stitching on the back, broke in and stole nearly everything. To his amazement, they found revolver ammunition and demanded to know where the gun was. Matt never knew his father owned a gun and ended up receiving a severe beating. He feigned death and narrowly avoided execution. When they left, he scoured the home and eventually located the gun, which had been left unloaded. He found the side pouch and the mask elsewhere. As of now, he is heading for his apartment to find Amie, who he has not seen or heard from since the event.
Other: Relatively muscular.

I'm interested in this.
Save me a spot and I'll get my app ready in a few hours.

[Marshal]

I'll have a character sheet up in a bit.

EDIT: By a bit, I meant sometime tomorrow evening.

[Mr_Wiki_96]

I'll have a CS up within the next couple of hours.

By the way, exactly what time and date did 'The Apostate' happen? I plan to put a flashback in my opening post.

[BigPapaBelial]

Picture

Name: Papa Stoker

Gender: Male

Age: 63

Pre-Apostate Occupation: Fringe Lunatic/Homeless beggar and suvivalist

Equipment: Bed roll, canteen, blade and saw combo machete, 30 feet of reinforced hemp rope, kindling kit with carbon and steel fire starter

Personality: Unhinged, extroverted, in one of the worst possible ways. Has a quick fuse temper, that can send him into rages.

History: Before the Apostate he was one of those guys you'd find on a street corner, haranguing the passersby about how the wold was going to end, about how people would need to learn to fend for themselves without computers and the internet. About how the government would not be there to safe them. He didn't spout off religious nonsense, only told people what he believed they needed to hear. He was arrested many times for public harassment and physical violence. But many times had been found to be insane in many fashions and was because of this is unable to stand trial or be imprisoned. He continued his street side preaching right up until the moment of the Apostate. And had screamed that he was right the whole time.

Afterwards he camped out in what could be called a camp of survivors. But wasn't exactly well known as someone you wanted to get caught talking too. He retained his violent and angry ways. And would resort to bashing someone in the face, or producing his machete at the least provocation.

Other: ???

How does this look?

[Mr_Wiki_96]

Picture (focus on face)

Minus the armour, the weapon and the military outfit in general. The character will have the same face, glasses, beard, hat (without the skull logo) and the body structure in general. He will have tattoes but not the same as the one on the arms in the picture.

Name: Darren Antonelli

Gender: Male

Age: 35

Pre-Apostate Occupation: Mechanic and former car thief

Equipment: A backpack filled with: a small toolkit, a few cans of food, a thermos water bottle, a Glock magazine, a couple of books, a Cuban cigar, a bottle of whisky and a road flare. On his person, he has: a Glock pistol with one mag in it, a lighter, a fire axe, some cigarettes and a worn out picture of him and his six-year old daughter.

Personality: He has been a very uncaring man ever since ‘The Apostate’; he doesn’t care about people’s beliefs or worries. Ever since the whole event happened, he just lost his will to even give a damn about other people’s lives. He chooses to protect himself and get on with his life. He is lonely, lost and he continues to wander aimlessly around the desolated ruins. He tends to be reserved and quiet but the tiniest part of him wishes to have a motive, someone to care for (again) or a group of people to actually give a damn about. Until that happens, he’s just a quiet, uncaring loner. Deep inside, he is a good man but he has lost touch with his morals since. He also is able to resort to violence if he chooses too and he doesn’t care about your command, leadership or status. If you piss him off then he’ll punch you in the snout, no questions asked about your rank or importance.

History: Darren was born in Brooklyn, New York to a nurse (mother) and (a warehouse manager). They lived in the lower class parts of Brooklyn and they didn’t have much. Darren had no other siblings. It was a stable family household until Darren was 8 years old. His father witnessed a corrupt cop shooting another person in an alleyway. The victim was unarmed. His father was then noticed by the cop and was shot dead there and then. This devastated him and his mother. The cop was found after months of investigating and he was sent to life in maximum security prison. Even with this arrest, his mother still never found closure. She shot herself a few months after her husband’s death. After all that, Darren had to live with his aunt. The boy wasn’t even ten yet and had already witnessed some life-shattering experiences.

Darren wasn’t exactly a good kid during his teens. He would get into much trouble during them for small petty crimes and he even got kicked out of high school at the age of 17. This caused a major rift between him and his aunt. Unless he found some sort of job, he would be kicked out. Luckily, a friend of his knew a friend of a friend that could help him out. Darren eventually discovered he had a very good talent for stealing cars. He was able to break into them, hotwire them and drive away before anybody noticed that it was gone. He would steal the cars and send them to a specific drop-off point for them. He would then be sent cash directly. He was able to pay money to his aunt but he eventually moved out before she got suspicious of what he did for a living. His life was going very well until he was 24.

When he was 24, he had one car job that would change his life. He was sent to steal a basic sedan in Queens. It was nothing new; it should have been a simple job. However, he did not anticipate that it was a planted vehicle by the cops. They were waiting for him. Years of skilled thievery was destroyed. He thought it was odd that the cops were taken him so seriously, there were hundreds of car thieves in New York, why him? As it turned out, one of the cars he sold was a pink buggy that belonged to some spoilt, whiny brat that begged her daddy to try and find the car thief. Unfortunately, Daddy liked to spoil his daughter and he had major connections to the NYPD, which caused them to get off their asses and find Darren. Thankfully, they only charged him with vehicular theft of the pink buggy and the decoy sedan. They didn’t have any evidence on any of the other vehicles he’s stolen. He was given a 5-year sentence in a minimum security prison. He could get out in 3 with good behaviour. His money was kept by a friend of his. He would at least have something to go back to when he got out.

Darren eventually managed to get out in 3 years with good behaviour. He got his money back from his mate and was able to buy a new 2 bedroom apartment but there was one thing he did not expect at his door a few days later. A little 4 year old girl, standing in his doorway with a bag, a little backpack, a little plush pony in one hand and a letter in the other. It turns out that this little girl was his daughter. The letter explained that the girl’s name is Sophie and she needs a place to live. It was written by the mother and it explained that they had sex in the bathroom of a club 4 years ago and she chose to raise the child all by herself. She knew the baby’s father was a criminal and she wanted to protect Sophie from that but the mother became seriously ill and there was no one to turn too. The letter practically begged for Darren to take care of his daughter. Darren was speechless and didn’t know what to do. He eventually discovered he had deep paternal instincts and he chose to take care of her. He finally had something in life to strive for. He used the rest of his money to open a garage and became his own business as a mechanic. He is now working honestly to take care of his little sweetheart.

After two years, they were living happily. Sophie was starting school and Darren was making a decent profit from the garage but that all change when ‘The Apostate’ happened. He had discovered his daughter had vanished. He didn’t know what to do or who to call but then he walked outside and eventually discovered that nearly everyone had vanished. There was no traffic, no voices, lively city chatter. Nothing. The disappearance of his daughter shattered him and destroyed him. He was now dead inside. He begged the universe to give her back, he begged and begged but to no avail. He didn’t know what to do next. He just grabbed equipment from his garage and supplies from his house and left to find answers.

He didn’t find any answers after the first few months. No one knew anything. A military group called ‘The Children Of God’, said that it was God taking the good people into heaven and leaving the rest to die as heathens. He almost believed it but he didn’t approve of Christianity. He has never felt that it had helped anyone and this group were just glorified killers who try to believe some nonsense to justify their brutal actions. It has been years and he is just walking around, doing absolute fuck all. He had a car for the first couple of years but as plant life started invading the roads, it became much too difficult to drive over them, unless you had some sort of major off-road vehicle. Until he can find some sort of motive, he’s just a man without a plan.

Other: He will wear a worn out jacket with some old cargo trousers and some worn out boots. He will not be wearing the same military outfit like in the picture. As I said, the picture is just too mainly show what his face and body structure will look like. He is not a military man. He doesn't have the assault rifle either, only a pistol.

I'll post a character sheet soon.
lol I haven't seen a first-person character sheet before. Cool!

[Piqsy]

[+]

Name: Marnie Chambers
Gender: Female
Age: 30
Pre-Apostate Occupation: Nurse
Equipment: Small duffel bag containing a blanket, spare ammunition for a weapon she doesn't have, a tin of peaches, a roll of bandages, a large bottle of water, a pair of socks and a sewing kit. Other things she has are two hospital bracelets, one on each wrist, a wedding ring, two knives and an engraved lighter.
Personality: Marnie used to be welcoming, friendly and happy, the ideal nurse, but after the ' Apostate', she has become cold, harsh and aggressive. Preferring to stay away from other people and only come in to contact when she is desperately in need of something and has no other choice. She will stand up to fight for herself, but doesn't make enemies easily, despite her short temper.
History: Marnie was born in England, growing up with her mother and father, as well as four younger siblings, until tragedy struck. Her two youngest brothers were playing in the street, and the ball fell in to the road. As one brother ran to fetch it, followed by the other attempting to rescue him from the road, they were both hit and killed by a speeding car.
The tragedy tore her parents marriage apart, separating her and her sister and brother as they spread between their parents. The hectic lifestyle of flitting between households didn't appeal to her, and she moved as far away as possible, as soon as she could. At eighteen, she moved to America, starting nursing school. From then on, she was overjoyed.
The days before the Apostate were some of the best of her life. She was married, and had just given birth to her first child. Complications meant that she was forced to remain in hospital, but there was nothing seriously wrong. That was when everything disappeared. Her baby, her husband and all possible ways to contact her family in Britain. She became wild with grief, not moving from the hospital for days, maybe even weeks. Eventually, though she was forced out to face the new world.
She despises the Children of God, as she lost three fingers on her right hand, leaving her with just a thumb and index finger on that hand.

Looks pretty cool, I'll throw up a CS later on today hopefully...

[Marshal]

Gin

Clicky
Name: 'Gin'
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Pre-Apostate Occupation: Assistant at a 24hour Corner Store
Equipment: Backpack; Fireman's Axe, Two small First Aid Kits, Flask (Water), Small Blanket, three semi-functioning cigarette lighters, matches, and a notepad with various colored pencils. Smaller purse-like bag that hangs off of the backpack; Filled with A few hair ties, a hairbrush, pair of scissors, and a couple rolls of ace bandage.

Personality: Gin appears very standoffish, which is likely due to her inability to speak. This obviously leaves her to be very quiet, even while an important discussion is going on. She tends to keep to herself, though doesn't seem to mind company, especially company that doesn't mind that she cannot reply back. At least not vocally, she is quite the good listener. While she is unable to be vocal about things, she can be quite expressive with her face and hands. She especially shies away from most aggression, which, since the Apostate, has been in abundance.

History: Gin has not really told anyone anything about her past prior to the Apostate. Nothing aside from the obvious, suffering severe trauma to her vocal chords as a child which has resulted in her muteness. As far as anything more current, she has for the most part kept herself under the radar, having a few run-ins with the Children of God, somehow managing to escape unscathed both times.

Other: Stitched carefully in neat letters on the right sleeve of her jacket is the name 'Gin'. She also has a rather old name-tag attached onto her backpack.

[The Incredible John]

Name: Chad Baker
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Pre-Apostate Occupation: Deliveryman
Equipment: Standard Universal Delivery Corp. Uniform, a tire iron, some pre-apostate money
Personality: Chad is mellow and a composed person who wouldn't lose his head in even the most critical of situations. He always tries to keep an steady nerve and thinks things through. Of course when there are situations that require immediate actions, Chad isn't your guy. When in a fire fight or when any other situation where life and death are judged in seconds, Chad wouldn't last long as he has to take several minutes to analyse he's next course of action. Of course Chad does his best to avoid those kinds of situations. Other than then that, Chad is mostly clam and mellow but some may say too clam and mellow.
History: Just before the apostate, Chad worked as a delivery man for the Universal Delivery Corporation. It was enough to pay the bills and that was good enough for him. He came from a small town in the mid-west, he graduated high school but didn't really have any plans after that. He came to the big east coast cities to find a job and landed as delivery guy in Manhattan. Life wasn't grand but it was all that Chad needed and he kept it up for the next 2 and a half years until the apostate happened.

The day it happened, Chad had a few beers at high noon and decided to take a nap as it was his off day. He woke up when it was already dark and the streets seemed eerily quite. He wasn't concerned at first but as hours past by, he felt that something was wrong. He got out on the streets and found that they were almost empty. There were a few people, like him, they were confused. After a few hours of thought, he decided to hitchhike with a guy going west. Chad dropped himself off at his family's house in Nebraska and checked if anybody was there. To his surprise and shock, the house was empty.

Now Chad wonders around from town to town looking for whatever work lands on his feet. Since then, he's heard about a group of religious nuts who wants to exterminate Humanity and goes to great lengths to avoid them. Times are tough for Chad but he's never one for giving up whenever the load gets heavy.

Sorry if you see any grammatical errors or spelling mistakes, kinda rushed at the end.

Rachael W.

Name: Rachael W.

Gender: Female

Age: 26

Pre-Apostate Occupation: Artist (Visual Artist)

Equipment: She has a stainless steal water bottle (Empty), Box of stale cereal, Crowbar, a utility tool, and a single can of green beans. She wears a dark blue over coat that covers a small hoodie underneath. Beneath that she wears a dingy white spaghetti strap. She has a think pair of dark green pants. She also wears an old baseball hat, because of the years and torment the hat had gone through, you can no longer tell what team the hat was for.

Personality: Rachael is extremely talkative, most times talking to her pet mousewhen no one is around. You could say she is awkward, but she has the type of awkwardness that only she sees. She thinks she is embarrassing from talking so much or just being weird, but you can't normally tell she feels this way. At first glance she is upbeat, talkative, maybe even a little flamboyant. But soon anybody could see it's a facade, and talking helps distract her from her deeper problems.

History: Rachael loved art ever since she could dip her fingers in some paint, but she never turned it into a career. Mostly because she never thought she could. One day when going to school a boy had given her an exceptional boost in her ego when he stated that she was an amazing artist, of course she didn't believe him, not until it started happening every day by all her friends. That all nagged her to do something with this gift but she always just shrugged them off. She felt as if she wasn't important enough to strive for such big things like becoming a famous artist. She definitely had the capabilities to become one, but not the courage and will. She kept her art to herself only letting her friends and family see them. She felt like drawing pictures and painting murals on her wall was an easy way to escape from reality.

She would spend days in her room just painting and drawing art, only talking to her pet mouse named Rico. Being a mouse, Rico never had any input on the conversation and never disagreed with Rachael, making him the best listener in the world. she would talk non-stop to Rico, while she spent her days painting. On one of these art binges, she was feeling hungry and wanted some food, so she went downstairs to get some. It was strange, moments ago she could hear the muffled noise of talking in the distance from her relatives. Now, there was only silence. She didn't realize how long she had been up in her room for, so she expected them all to be at the neighbors house. Her neighbors, The Pattersons, were family friends to Rachael, so she figured her mom, dad and brother were all there. She walked across the lawn to go see before she noticed it, there wasn't anybody anywhere to be seen on her street. This was extremely odd since she lived on a main street close to an intersection. She saw cars that were empty and animals roaming about.

Her parents and brother had vanished as well, for she looked for them for hours after. There was nobody. Nobody could be seen for miles, anybody you did see had the same dumbfounded look on theirs faces as she did. It scared her to a point were she sat at home hugging her pet mouse for a few days. She decided to go see family, maybe they were still around, so she head east. She packed all the things she thought were useful, and headed off. Only to be greeted with loneliness and silence on her travels.

Other: has a pet mouse named Rico, it's an albino mouse with it's front right paw missing. She keeps him in a small box with a gaping hole in the top, giving him room to enter and exit the box as he pleases.

So far I see eight sheets with four male and four female. First time I've ever seen a balance.
