Black Water

Name: Black Water

Population Size: 638, if you count the slaves, that is.

Settlement Type: Town

General Visual Description:
Black Water is what happens when you let a fantastic town slip, fall into the gutter, get curb stomped, and set on fire. Black Falls used to be a town people would dream of going to, called Morrowvale. Morrowvale was a sprawling town, filled with shops, inns, taverns, and friendly people. Crime was always low, and even then it was only small crimes like some young punk nicking your coin purse while you were off to buy some meat. Until the Black Waters found them. The Black Waters were a huge group of thieves, bandits, and murders, just over a hundred men strong. In one decisive move they attacked the town, looting, killing, pillaging, and burning countless buildings to the ground.

Settlement Garrison and Defenses: Their defenses consist of skulls on spikes with signs that have wonderful phrases like "KEEP OUT" or 'WELCOME TO HELL", or my personal favorite, "TURN BACK NOW". If that's not enough to deter an attacker, everyone in the town who's not a slave is armed to the teeth with every sort of weapon, ready to kill any bastard with the balls to attack.

Structures of Interest: List a few structures of interest, such as taverns or churches -- anywhere players might want to visit. A brief description of them would be helpful, but wont be necessary.

People of Interest: Any NPCs of interest the players might want to meet, such as a renowned weapons merchant or a famous bard. Again, brief descriptions would be helpful, but not necessary.

Settlement's Leader: The name and description of the individual in charge of the settlement, whether it's a count, mayor, military general, village elder.

Location: Somewhere in the far northern center.

Hope it's not too early to throw in a settlement idea.

Name: Osimeri

Population Size: 197

Settlement Type: Town

General Visual Description:
Osimeri is a haven for Orcs- inside of a massive cave. The place was hollowed out by a band of Dwarves centuries ago, it's valuables such as gold and other metals mined, and abandoned by the Dwarves. Just over fifty wears ago, a peaceful group of Orcs found it, and choose to make it thier home. It appears very akin to a mine, with rickety wooden walkways attached to walls, supported by somewhat flimsy wooden pillars that look as though they could snap any second, yet somehow support the weight of even the largest Orc.
Though there are segments of the town in other areas of the sprawling cave, the heart of the town is in a huge, circular cavern, with stalgmites hanging overhead that appear as though they are ready to fall at any second. There are several dozen huts constructed from wood, stone, leather, and other scrap materials, few proper establishments as you'd see in other town exist. Walking through the streets you can see Orcish people participating in games and rituals, and often you can see a small band of Orcs painting their faces and picking up spears to go on the hunt.
In terms of the layout, it's generally disorganized, and one must wander to find what they were looking for. There is no form of infrastructure, but natural roads have seemed to appear in the alleys between the Orcs huts.

Settlement Garrison and Defenses: Given that it is inside a cave, they don't need very much in the way of walls. but three or four particularly menacing-looking Orcs tend to stand outside, armed with swords and crossbows. The town as a whole, however, is ready to spring into action if need be.

Structures of Interest:
-In the town center is City Hall, where the leader and his mate live.
-Pete's Bar, run by the only human living in the town, named Pete. The bar doesn't have the greatest food or the greatest drink around, but its some of the best grub in Osimeri. It's one of the few buildings that is not a hut, but is a stone, wood, and mortar establishment.
-The Armory of the town is inside of a hut, with weapons hanging from the ceiling by way of string. It is tended by a blind Orc with sharp ears, and he can sell the weapons to you if you earn his trust.
-In many huts you will find people saying that they can take you traveling into the surrounding caves(for a price, mind you), where you could find anything from gold pieces to cave monsters.
-In one of the western corners of town there is an small arena where Orcs will bet money on each other in fights. If they so chose, an adventurer could participate in one of these fights, or bet on one.

People of Interest:
Pete- He runs the bar. He's a rough and tough bastard, and likes to spend time in the arena when he can. He's a smiling, friendly fellow.
Nurghed- The Orc in charge of the armory. He's old(not as old as Garekk, the elder) and blind, but his sense of hearing more than makes up for his lack of sight. He'll sell you the weapons in the Armory if you earn his respect through beating him at a game, the game of Liars Dice. (Liar's Dice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar's_dice )
Mortimer- A somewhat crazy and constantly happy Orc who honestly believes he is a human named Mortimer. If the players ask him why he think he is human he will change the subject to something about his Wife who became lost in the caves many years ago. If the players go searching for her, they will eventually discover a skeleton with a dagger through it and a note beside it. The note reveals that Mortimer's Orcish wife killed herslef because she couldn't stand the constant strain and humiliation of her husband beliving he was human. Showing Mortimer that note will make the Orc depressed and will cause him to realize that he is indeed actually an Orc named Yatur.

Settlement's Leader:
Garekk the Orc is the Elder of the town, and doesn't 'lead' the Orcs as much as give them guidance. He has taught them to be kind, and is a very nice, extremely large gentleman. He always advocates his people for peace, but wants to help the people of Eramar as much as he can. He does not advocate violence, but understands that it is a tool that must sometimes be used.

Location: Somewhere in south western mountains, if possible. If there are no mountains to the south west, and group of mountains will do.

I grant that it is somewhat basic, and I can make it more complex if you desire. Honestly, i threw this together in just over half an hour and should probably work more on it XP

Infintie Story

Done with my sheet. Fixed the thing you were saying about stats, @Lvl Down.

Infintie Story

Character

Name: Matt Benette
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 5' 11"
Appearance:

Personality:
Matt is a prick. Well, most people call him a prick, anyway, but what you personally think of him varies person to person. Matt is extremely focused on video games, and is the type of player to steal loot it you're not quick enough to get to it first. he pushes real life people away in favor of games, and has gotten very good at them. He wasn't part of the beta of Infinite Story, but has researched every scrap of information released about it, and even slipped a tester some money to break their non-disclosure agreement and give him inside information. He's an extremely intelligent boy, but his brains distance him from people. he tends to talk very concisely with large words that may be formidable to those not armed with a dictionary. He doesn't like making friends, but he will align himself with those who he feels can get him farther in his games. He's not an evil person, but he can come off that way, as he operates primarily for his own goals and no one else's. But, he does understand the importance of the greater good, and will work towards such a thing if the need arises.
Bio:
Matt was born into a tiny town, so small and insignificant it might as well have been a pimple orf the ass of the United States of America. Nothing ever went on in the town, and it was the definition of mundane. Matt, from a young age, was always bored by it. he couldn't stand the mind numbing, incredibly easy lessons, or that nothing every happened in the local news. Around age ten, he started looking for some form of escapisim, something to tear him away from this boring reality. He tried books, they were nice, but they really didn't do it for him. TV came close, but he didn't feel like he was... Interacting with it. That's when he discovered video games. They gave him a way to vent his frustrations and be something greater than he was, even for a breif moment- and that's exactly what he was looking for. He withdrew from what little social life he had, preffering to stay indoors to be with his games. As soon as the VR Gear was released, he bought it and eagerly waited for the release of Infinite Story. He pre-ordered and picked it up day one, going home to immediately plug it in and play. On the first day he binged for 48 hours, and has been playing as often as possible ever since.
Other: His goal is to be the best player in the world, and he hopes to make his living the video games industry.

Lights Out: A World of Darkness and Metahumans...

Infintie Story

Why would our Avatar's Personality be any different than our characters? If they're not any different, why have a personality section in both templates?

Lights Out: A World of Darkness and Metahumans...

Lights Out

I suppose this all started three years ago, when Mark got his power. Yes, his name was Mark, fuck off. World was as it was supposed to be- Year 2025, everything goin’ normally, economy shit as always, and anyone you looked at funny was ready to punch you in the teeth. Good old earth. No meta humans, nothin’. The Mark came along. Kid had the ability to absorb kinetic energy, or something. He kept absorbing more and more power, and he got the idea in his sick and fuckin’ twisted skull that he’d absorb the Sun. Seems crazy, right? Until he did it. Seemed to everyone like the sun just blinked out of existence. That’s when the Dark Hour happened. The one hour of complete, monumental chaos. Mass scale rioting, total governmental collapses, some places launched nukes for no damned reason, in one fucking hour- All because some shitty ball of light disappeared. But after that hour, Mark… Suffice to say, he exploded. Wiped out all of Nevada, too. Turns out he couldn’t contain all that energy. He sent a huge shockwave all over the planet- It was like every damn place on earth got nuked. And after that? Then we started to realize- There were people with goddamn superpowers! Flight, radiation, fire, healing… It was crazy. Plus, things on this planet got… Weird. Mutated animals and shit, man. Plus, the Earth stayed warm. No one knows why- Once the sun disappeared, everyone figured it’d get real cold, real fast. But it’s been warm for three years, and it ain’t gettin’ any colder… And I guess that’s really as far as the story goes. Night, everyone. Remember to lock your doors.

Welcome to the world of Lights Out. A place where the sun has died and the world has changed. There a people with strange new powers in an even stranger world- Where do you stand in it? This roleplay takes place on the East Coast, three years after the one called ‘Mark’ blew up and changed everything. In and around the ruins of New York, Boston, and Washington D.C., it’s a day by day struggle to survive. This is the lovely little place of Post-Apocalyptia. It started out as a joking name. Gallows humor for sure, but it ended up sticking, and that’s what most of the northern East Coast is called now.

Post-Apocalyptia These Days...

Settlements

(D.C.)-The Bastion: A settlement in the DC ruins, of some old Prison. After Mark had his explosion the Prisoners escaped, and made the place into a bonafide fortress. You couldn’t get in there with anything short of a RPG and more men than you could count. It’s one of the safest places out there. Well, safe from the outside, anyway. Drugs, gambling, dog fights and all go on in there, and they send out some of the strongest raiding groups in Post-Apocalyptia.

(D.C.)-Big House: Inside and around what used to be the White House there’s the remnants of what used to be the U.S. government. A couple guys in suits with more secrets to hide than anybody. People flocked there after the explosion, and it’s turned into a thriving town, run by the ex-Government. They have farms, water, and a pretty good stockpile of weapons. Word is though, they got plans to start expanding- By force.

(D.C.)-The Mall: What used to be a collection of museums has become one of the largest cities in Post-Apocalyptia. They’re headed by a group of scientists who claim they can get the sun back, and they’re blindly followed by countless people. But what they have in numbers and resources they lack in conviction. The leaders don’t have much of a backbone, and rumor has it that a rebellion is on its way.

(BOSTON)-Faneuil Hall: In and around what once was Faneuil Hall in Boston is what has become what most consider a religious cult. Here they worship Mark as a god, saying he’s brought the second coming of humanity. They hail metahumans as the ‘enlightened’. Some say they’ll go to great lengths to convert those who they encounter.

(BOSTON)-’The Birds’: A collection of tiny settlements, constantly fighting with each other, all within the confines of Boston’s Logan Airport. Every settlement is armed to the teeth, and more than one has gotten their hands on one of the airports many planes.

(BOSTON)-Sanctuary: One of the safest places in Boston, held inside of Fenway Park. They offer Sanctuary to all those who come inside- Food, water, a safe place to life, impeccable security. But they say, something dark goes on inside the walls of Sanctuary…

(NEW YORK)-The Square: What was once Times Square has become a trading hub for survivors of the explosion. Dozens of shops line the square, selling goods like guns, ammo, food, and water. It’s the number one destination for trading caravans. No one really lives there except traders and one or two people hired to protect them. They live under constant threat of raiders.

(NEW YORK)-The Island: Locked down by a unit of the US military, what was once Ellis island is now a place for a select few survivors to hold down. They are extremely protected, but isolated. Their supplies of food and water and running out…

(NEW YORK)-Freedom: Freedom Tower, built where the Twin Towers once stood, is now inhabited by an elitist group of Super Humans, seeking to conquer the entire country under their whim. They’ve already taken significant portions of New York City.

Metahuman ‘Freaks’

Metahumans started popping up very soon after Mark’s explosion. No one’s entirely sure how it happens, but the general theory is they have something special about their genes that allow them to absorb all the residual energy Mark spit it, and everyone's body processes the phenomenal amount of energy differently. So far as anyone can tell, their powers can be nearly anything, be it flight, healing, telepathy, or even spontaneous combustion.

Metas are usually accepted by the population, but there are those who think otherwise, calling them ‘Freaks’ and being extremely mean or sometimes even violent towards them. To the same token, there are Metas who take extreme issue with normal humans.

Mutants

-Growlers: Through some horrifying misfortune, Growlers are people who have become fused with dogs. Virtually all Growlers have lost any scrap of humanity and have been reduced to a completely feral state. They’re not terribly dangerous, as a bullet to the head could put one down, but if you let them get close, or if there is more than one, you may have a problem.

-Buzzers: Giant bees. Giant angry bees. That sometimes travel in groups. What more needs to be said?

-Titans: No one’s sure why these creatures came to be called Titans, but that’s how it happened. They are very slightly overgrown bears of various species that grew an addition skeletal structure on the outside of their bodies, effectively giving them armor.

-Saber Tooths: Cats that have grown back to the sizes they were back in the ice ages, with large, scary teeth.

-S-Munks: Chipmunks, that for one reason or another, produce silk like a spider.

-Terrors: It is unknown what Terrors originate from, but they’re arguably the dangerous mutations out there. They are the size of two full grown men, as strong as ten full grown men, and faster than even the fastest normal human. In addition, a few of them have camouflage, and all of them have a particular taste for human flesh.

Groups

-True Humans: A group called the ‘True Humans’ makes it their mission to eliminate all Metas. They’re virtually everywhere, every settlement, every town(spare, of course, the town of Freedom). They tend to try to appear as normal to those around them, preferring to operate in their meta killing affairs more quietly and stealthily. They’re supposedly lead out of Sanctuary, but no one is quite certain.

-The Anti-Freaks: Akin to the True Humans, they oppose Metas, but are more… Vocal about it. They have no form of centralized leadership, anyone who decides to call themselves an Anti-Freak is and Anti-Freak. The only consistent factor between their members is that they have an insatiable blood lust for Metahumans, and will attack them anywhere they spot them.

-The Black Dogs: Many, many Raider groups exist, but The Black Dogs are arguably the most powerful. They’re from The Bastion, and they’re the best raiders around. They’re absolutely merciless, and they’ll take whatever they want from you.

-The Masked: A group with a very small member count, no more than twenty or so of them, they’re a group of people trying to do good. They all wear masks, operating out of The Mall.

-Revolutionaries: The group attempting to overthrow The Mall’s government. They believe the Mall’s leadership is weak and must be thrown out by force. While they may offer a firmer hand to lead to a potential better version of the town, some residents are opposed to them, as they may feel that they are much too firm, willing to execute people for even the smallest offense.

-Timely Trading Company: A group of traders working from The Square. They have two bodyguards currently(and are always recruiting more). They run two trade caravans and own thirty seven percent of the stores in The Square.

So... Who's interested? Also, keep in mind that if you guys want, i could add more Towns, Groups, and Mutants. or you guys could make your own, if you wanted.

Infintie Story

Rolling with the idea that games are a phenomenally important thing, suppose there are Hackers within the game that hack in the greatest items, and sell them for exorbitant prices of IRL money to other players, and we're hired by the Game Company to find them through a combination of real life, the game, and maybe some hacking on our end?

Infintie Story

Seems pretty cool, I'm interested.

Personally, I like the use of SPECIAL.
