A 1x1 check, aka I'm too lazy to think of a proper title

Sup.

This is a 1x1 interest check, if the section and title wasn't already obvious. Been awhile since the last time I was in the 1x1 game, but I figured this would be a place to start up something super fast. I tend to keep to things like apocalyptic, fantasy, slice of life, etc. but I try to keep myself open to most other things as well. Only things I'm not really big on are canonxcanon/canonxoc and smut/romance.

I know this isn't much, but if you were looking for someone to write with, then feel free to ask. Surely we can think of something together.

AJ Beaufort

A wave of relief washed over AJ as her mother said they would be arriving anytime soon. It'd be a matter of minutes, preferably seconds, AJ had hoped. She hadn't known from where they would be coming from, but Glen Rock couldn't have been that far away from where she was now. Perhaps fifteen or so minutes, AJ figured, at maximum. They hadn't been on the bus for long prior to the incident, so her parents couldn't be far behind on their way to her location.

"They're, uh," AJ paused, wondering how to properly explain how they met. A knot grew in her stomach, afraid of what her parents were going to say next. "People I met. I-I thought Shin-ae was one of them, so I swung my crosse... and... and.."

AJ looked back to Shin-ae and Kaitlyn, who had seemed to be getting along well with the stranger. She could hear something about directions from where she stood, as if they were trying to figure out where either were heading. They seemed to be heading north, which would've been perfect had AJ not already gotten ahold of her parents.

"I hurt someone, mom." AJ explained, remorseful for her actions. She hadn't meant to wipe out Shin-ae, but her survival instinct overwhelmed her senses. "Her bike is ruined, too. The pedal broke right off."

Alexis "Lex" Karczewski

Location: West Caldwell, Shell Gas Station

The tension continued to increase inside the MRAP. It left Lex was in disbelief, astonished at everything she had heard. Gus claimed that his refusal to let the others in was for everyone's safety. Meanwhile, Flynn tried to raise a vote between all of those in the vehicle. A vote on whether they abandoned the officers or not. While Lex knew it was an attempt to ease the tension, she had been dismayed that it had came from him of all people. He leapt into action when the man pushed her down and tried to rip her face off, yet now wanted to leave the fate of others to a "vote".

"These are people. Real, living people. And we want to hold a vote on their lives? Whether we leave them behind or not?"

Lex gritted her teeth in frustration. She didn't want to leave people behind to save her own hide. They were bit (or at least assumed to be), sure. But that didn't give them the right to dictate their survival; to leave them behind after they kept everyone else safe from harm.

So, when Billie positioned herself between everyone and the door, she could only feel disgust. Lex watched in disbelief and astonishment as she held her hand close to her hammer, and demanded that they weren't going to vote at all. Would Billie truly go to such great lengths and try to hurt someone with the tool if they tried to force open the door? She didn't seem the type to, Lex believed. Still, anyone could be pushed to do something unexpected, especially someone in a situation like they were currently in now.

"So that's it." Lex spoke. "Agree with us, or we'll beat you and throw you out. Great to know which side you're on, Billie."

Kali Nordstrom

Location: West Caldwell, Shell Gas Station

Kali felt her heart sank. Her face grew pale, and she could only look back at Isaac with a stare that begged why. She couldn't understand how the world could've been so cruel; to continue to take away people she cared about. First, it had been Jeff, and now Isaac had been next. Even if he had been alive now, Isaac was as good as dead. The bite was how it all started, they had since come to figure out. Given time, and Kali hadn't known how much longer Isaac had, he was bound to turn into one of them.

She looked back to Liana, who was just as shocked as Kali had been. What was she, or rather, they supposed to do? Kali hadn't known, nor did likely Liana. Gus was advocating to throw out anyone who had been bit to "keep everyone safe". There was a bit of truth to his words. Leaving behind those who were bit increased their odds of survival, keeping them alive and in one piece. But they couldn't just abandon people, like Lex and Flynn exclaimed. It was inhumane. They weren't cogs in a machine, ready to be discarded once past their usefulness.

And so, when Billie demanded to not let them in; that they weren't going to vote, Kali stood up to say her piece.

"You all disgust me. A bunch of bloody cowards claiming that they're thinking of everyone when you're all just looking out for your skin. They didn't have to go into the station to help, and then it would've been you outside those doors begging to be let in."

A hint of venom in her tone echoed the frustration she had felt. The audacity they all had—Gus, Billie and anyone else who had been in favor. How dare they discard someone like a broken tool, as if they outlived their usefulness?

"We're not judge, jury, and executioner. It isn't our place to decide whether someone is left behind or not. If it comes to it, and it likely will, then we can act. But not now. Not here."

Centered within the known world, the Aspadori plains have long been a notable, centuries-old battleground for rivaling kingdoms due to its strong lack of natural boundaries. The land has seen countless lords rule over it, and many more vying for the loyalty and faith of the local populace. Only upon the ascension of House Cierrspenne to the Aspadori throne would the makings of an independent Aspador truly be established, wherein the Aspadori were firmly established as a notable player within the region, rather than that of a sharpened tool to wield in battle against the various kingdoms, empires and realms.

Yet now, however, that same kingdom has come to meet its end today. In the wake of ancient political feuds turned bloody, the Aspadori eagle has found its sovereignty trampled upon once more as the armies of the world make their move. Peace is no longer an option for it is now a battle of survival as the country is torn asunder, and it plans to take everyone with it.

You are, be you knight, soldier, or even a mercenary, enlisted to the Aspadori cause.

Standing with the king and his men, you have found yourself at Zoclain, the Aspadori capital, while it falls under siege from Ottrian and Strogari forces. Relief will not come; all other possible forces are tied up elsewhere within Aspador.

As the battle progresses, it proves to be an unwinnable fight. With the eagle's wings against keep walls, it forces a last stand. With sword, tooth and nail, you must ensure Aspador does not die today, even at the cost of your own life.

Alea iacta est, brave warriors.

Yep, it's me. I'm finally back with another roleplay idea.

Kingdomfall has been a setting that I have had on the back burner for the last several years. It has existed in bits and scattered notes, but as of this thread the setting now has some semblance of a functional roleplay for me to GM and also for players to experience. That being said, pieces of it are still very much a work-in-progress, and will be touched up on as needed or as time allows me to. Therefore, if you happen to have any ideas, questions and/or comments, most things within Kingdomfall can be open to interpretation or expanded upon for future reference; just drop a message and I can get back to you.

Now, I'm certain that in this day and age I do not need to state the obvious. Follow guild rules, don't be an ass, etc.—everyone should know the typical rules and playbook of a roleplay by now. Just be fonz cool, and we'll have a great time.

For the old-fashioned who do need a rules list, however:

- Standard guild rules apply, just as they do anywhere else on RPG.
- You're the heroes of this story, but you're not overpowered gods.
- Substance is needed for posts. This is not a free-level roleplay.
- Persistent activity is required; try to post once a week or so.
- Applications are deadline-based, not first come, first serve.

Honestly, with as many people we have interested here (and elsewhere), I'm probably going to go ahead and toss up the OOC tonight.

Kingdomfall: Last Stand

Any ideas of group size and character limits? Potentially interested if on the smaller end.

@Tlaloc

At maximum probably 10. I typically don't go any higher than that.
