The Protagonist Plots

I'm interested in GEAR, Alien Planet Survival and Avatar!

Dying Light

As this roleplay takes place in Havana, will locals be masters at jury-rigging? Because in real life, cubans are very skilled at using old technology to repair or create other things.

Dying Light

Awesome! So, do you prefer the baby to be with the group, or at camp? Because I can do both :p

Dying Light

I can take away the gun, free up some space and weight in the backpack.

As for the child:

I was thinking two options: Either his wife and daughter are missing, and he's constantly looking for hints on their whereabouts, or his wife is dead and he has his daughter to take care of. If the case is the second, he leaves her at camp with an old friend of his wife. This could lead to the baby being kidnapped or killed during a raid, I understand that. But it's so much safer in a camp than out there.

Though having the baby out there would be sooo cool!

Dying Light

:P I'm leaving the baby's presence in the RP up to Nightwing. It's a part of him, but he could either be alone or with his daughter.

Brief Bio:
James Kosher, born in England to a family of middle-class immigrants, had the best childhood he could ever ask for. As he grew up, stories of the country they came from were told to him by his grandfather, and such stories kept his eyes open to the blessings he counted with in such a developed country. At school, he had a small group of friends and got good grades. Not the best grades, but they were good enough to his parents. When his grandfather died, there was an opening in the family business, and he took the job in a pinch. After grieving for a few days, he was working harder than ever in his parents' hardware store, lifting heavy boxes for a living.

Things were good for them, as slowly the business grew, and their income got better. Eventually he was promoted to add another task to his list of responsibilities, and he had to aid in moving a bunch of their inventory from their main store to a new branch on the outskirts of London. So he spent weeks moving back and forth between towns, driving an old, used up pick up truck of his family. He got a bunch of experience in driving and learned to get over a couple problems here and there.

By the age of 20, he met a woman named Lilly. She was shopping, and asked James for a lot of help. He gladly gave it to her, but eventually, he couldn't help but notice her beauty. For a few moments he was hesitant, but when he finally swallowed down his fear, he asked her out in a date, and she accepted. Fast forward three years, and the happiest man and woman were on their wedding day. James had studied for three years in a University and was about to graduate and obtain a degree in Nutrition and Fitness to legally act as a Personal Trainer.

But then things went to hell. These... Crazed people started appearing and killing others, and eventually everything was chaos. People tried to get out of the country, with stories of "safe havens" or "geographical advantages". Naturally, James and his family believed most of these stories, but they could not afford a ticket to most of the first world safe havens, so they had to settle for a ticket to the island of Cuba, specifically Havana. The place was supposed to be safe, it was supposed to be secure. Yet only a few weeks from having arrived, James' Family was caught up in a same scenario as in England.

Every day that passed, they lost one to the Walkers, Zombies, Geeks, whatever they called these things. And even though they couldn't grieve or even give them a proper burial most of the time, their morale slowly sunk. Soon enough, most had lost track of time, and the only ones left were James' father, wife and his newborn daughter. One day, a horde found them, and following the baby's cries, they managed to track them down into an old, abandoned building. Somehow, James' father managed to distract them with the help of his wife, and James found him on the other side of whole crumbled floor. With no sight of his wife or his father, James hugged his daughter, Elise, tightly against his body and moved on.

Every day since, he's been looking for signs of his remaining family. But his loved, tiny Elise comes above all.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Exactly. Though it isn't impossible since maybe the information exist in a ruin somewhere, or maybe people invented a magical alternative.

Maybe the information is out there, sure, but... Keep in mind most of that stuff is digital in our world. After so much time left without maintenance and power, the generators would be useless, and the computers housing such information would be near inaccessible. And even if you did access the computers, would you know the passwords to get such classified material? Would you have the hacking expertise to get through the machine's firewalls? Would the hard drive be intact?

Maybe there is a machine in perfect state out there somewhere, but I doubt it's unprotected by firewalls and a huge password!

Also, what Fallen said. I rather enjoy the Fantasy setting we're in now. I don't think it's necessary to add guns or any kind of advanced technology!

Dying Light

I'm working on my Sheet :p

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

It took real humans about a thousand years more or less to go from inventing gunpowder up to modern guns. Guns have existed for what, six hundred years? I don't think anyone in Tiien has the expertise to make a gun :p

Mass Effect: Spectre Strike Force

Is it Pai Min and Ken'Koris that are given the task to go speak to the planetary governor? I can't really see more characters left!
