Please tell me you meant this as a figure of speech, otherwise I think my feelings just got kicked in the groin.

Unfortuately no. Don't worry, you didn't have anything to do with it, and I'm perfectly fine now, and a lot of it had to do with all the irl stuff happening all of a sudden.

Sure thing! Also she could probably test the toxicity of the air and be looking into its properties and how it attacks the body. Or if one of the people that leaves the dome gets badly hurt she could help. I think there can be lots of uses for her. :)

That's actually a pretty good idea, a'ight, you're good!

And as far as what makes the air toxic, originally it was to be hydrogen sulfide such as in the permian-triassic extinction event, but the main flaw with that (as someone pointed out to me, because I'd managed to forget) is that hydrogen sulfide is corrosive, explosive, flammable, toxic, etc, and would completely negate any reason to go outside, not to mention it reacts with oxygen. The gas used is something I haven't come up with a name for, but it is fictional. It has many properties not unlike hydrogen sulfide, such as its method of attacking the body (blocking cellular respiration) and can be absorbed through the skin, but it lacks the corrosive and combustive properties of the former. I know it's a bit of a cop out, but I felt other than that the idea was sound and so rather than have a nervous breakdown (I did, actually), I went with the option of simply creating my own gas for the purposes of the RP. I will however try to keep things scientifically accurate save for that, so don't expect a plasma rifle to do anything but turn into a short range flamethrower and cook you alive.

Hey mono, care to take another sweep of my CS, particularly the back story and personality. It's late right now but it might be nice to have some suggestions to work on for tomorrow.

You're good!

While the character certainly fits, there'll be a good deal of adventuring around the wastes and such, and while obviously you don't technically need to leave the dome (most people don't), we almost certainly will, and I'd like to make sure the character might have some reason for doing so. A lot of our characters are scavenger types or mechanics, and as such their motivations for venturing out into the wastes are relatively easy to imagine. Even something such as having heard a rumor about experimental drugs to cure some illness that might be hiding away in some nearby hospital would be enough.

Aaaand, approved! You might want to throw in a little about why her parents couldn't make it in time, but the overall CS is good.

Mortalbean said Irving Lope/Slaven Dobroslav

Also approved! The RP starts out near the dome built over most of Dallas, Texas, so it's perfectly reasonable to assume they could have reached it. I'll be adding the questions asked thus far and some others to an information section, and will start work on a CS of my own.
As far as working on improvements, I didn't see much that you didn't cover. I'll give it a re-read in a bit and tell you if anything pops out at me, but it looks pretty good from my perspective.

Approved! Keep in mind, if any of you want some cool futuristic weapon, that's perfectly fine. I know I've been a bit too vague (and will hopefully remedy that soon), but this is 2057, some cool inventions have definitely happened.

Aye? It comes with a carrying case. They are not all that heavy. 59 pounds. With a single point sling and a case for ammo in a backpack you are set for blowing people, or vehicles apart.Also that does seem like a slightly better idea. Thank you for the insight in the world so I may tweak it ever so slightly. It will happen as more is revealed.

You're welcome ^_^, as far as my own CS and more detailed information goes, unfortunately that'll have to wait until I'm rested and not running on fumes, but rest assured I will have it out tomorrow. And as far as carrying that, may I suggest something like the HULC exoskeleton? That'd make carrying something that heavy (59 pounds is no small amount, imagine carrying that plus ammunition, plus food and water, plus some armor presumably, the hazmat suit and gas mask. Not to mention other odds and ends.) significantly easier.

It's pretty good overall, though I'm slightly amused at the 20mm rifle, I hope you have some means of lugging that thing around? And as far as the backstory, the cities would have locked those doors and not let anybody out at the first sign of things finally happening. You would've had a 24 hour warning period to get to the city, and you wouldn't have been let out. Perhaps have her simply not able to reach the city in time?

Not Done, I just need a save point for now, and I want to see if OP's CS is up for reference.Comments on what is currently here are welcome(I'm aware the the appearance isn't too specific but I wanted to see OP's CS to determine the level of detail they want for gear .etc)Name:Given Name: Irving LopeAssumed Name: Slaven DobroslavSex: MaleAge: 38(22 at the start of the apocalypse)Traits:Middle Aged - In D&D terms -1 str -1 con +1 int +1 wisPersonality:Backstory:Equipment:Other:

That's a pretty damned good start, you might want to specify that he does indeed have the gas mask and hazmat suit (as far as your standard hazmat suit you'd see people from a domed city wearing, it looks like a combination of this and a demron suit like this.) Other than that it's looking pretty good! Depending on how much time I have before I pass out from exhaustion I should have my own character sheet mostly written, or at least well underway for you to use as a reference.

Hmm actually I got a question now. How exclusive were the domes, was it basically people who live near it, or like just the elite rich in a 2012 (movie) style.

Good question, and I'll try to answer as many as I can anticipate once I've eaten and have some more time. But as far as exclusivity goes, it was largely a combination of both. Many rich people wanted in, and many of the people there just happened to live there. And as the section above ground tends to have trees and decent spacing between living spaces, that's generally where the descendants of those rich people and some middle class tend to live, with the majority living underground in conditions not unlike a Vault from fallout, just fewer G.O.A.T.s and vault suits.
