After the End

Yay! I'm excited to start.

Would Skype work? I have a few groups on there so it would work well for me.

After the End

Tia Phillips

Name: Tia Phillips
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Nomadic or sedentary: Nomadic
Weapons(A reasonable amount: 1-3 though some are probably more scarce than others): Collapsible stun gun baton (built by Tia), small dagger
Skills: A knack for inventions and repairing anything electronic or mechanical, reading and writing
Any unusual traits? Does it show physically?: Tia is able to see in the dark. Since this change her eyes are now a light grey color and on the rare occasion that it is sunny, it is painful for her.
Appearance:

Tia

Being short and skinny Tia usually claims that she is five feet tall although she is an inch shorter than she claims to be which can be a sore topic for her even though she still has a bit more time to grow taller. She has grey eyes and likes to keep her hair short. Her clothing choice is usually comfortable and practical with her only accessory being a necklace with her father's wedding ring on it.

Brief Personality: Friendliness comes easy to Tia but gaining her trust is rarely done. She is cunning, selfish and doesn't hesitate to lie to keep herself safe. She avoids fighting both physically and argumentatively but will lash out if backed into a corner as a last resort. She knows she is at a disadvantage due to her age and size and will often use that to her advantage to appear nonthreatening or gain sympathy and protection from those who still are capable of showing it.

Background(Please reveal your current location): All Tia knows of the world is the aftermath of the war with her earliest memories revolving around the small university that both her parents were a professor of before the collapse of humanity. She was the youngest child of three with her twin brothers being ten years older than her. The university was shut down early in the war after the first bomb landed on US soil and while most students and faculty left for safety or to find family, a small group of around fifteen remained on the campus. Tia was raised within this tight knit group which to her became family which quickly closed itself off to the rest of the world for the sake of survival. Compared to most children her age she was sheltered from the horrors of the decaying world and was brought up learning a lot about technology, engineering and anything else the bored scholars could shove into her brain. However the period of peace Tia grew up in didn't last forever. It is unknown what illness ran rampant within the confines of the university but it killed off three people and left many weak and vulnerable. This was when the Wolves discovered the University and the people within. Due to the quick thinking of one of her brothers, the two were able to hide but were left with no way of helping their family and friends as they listened to them being tortured and killed.

The university wasn't safe anymore and the two were forced to set out into the world and find a way to survive. Knowledge that the two gain was helpful but it didn't make up for the skills and experience they missed out. They've ran into a few dangerous groups of people along the way and learned the hard way that trusting people is dangerous which cost Tia's brother his life. It has been a year since her home was taken from her, six months since her brother was killed. She recently reached the New York city area amd is still learning the area.

Alone or with someone?: Alone (Unless someone wants to already meet up with Tia before the start of the roleplay)

Other: She has very little combat skills but makes up for this with the knowledge she has gained. However if there is ever a point someone could teach her to defend herself, there is a need for that.

After the End

I have another character on the way (do you have a limit?) but that will have to wait until tomorrow or Wednesday. I just need to find a picture for Tia but she is done.

Midnight Sun

“What a waste of time.” AJ scoffed as the duo walked out of the ship to see the end of the battle happening between the waiting Asylums. With the mission's priority focusing on the safety of the Bloodlines, he couldn't see how stripping in front of the Peraltas' abode was even an idea someone would contemplate as a good way to spend their time as they waited for the ship.

“If they have nothing else to do but wait, why not. Don't you think a sparring match is a good way to gauge people's skills and get to know who you are working with?” Keith said with a shrug. He was glad to see that AJ was back to his normal self after the man had some time to gather himself before the ship arrived. Although his partner was an odd person to be with, the breakdown AJ experienced was far worse than anything he experienced even during the nearly two crazy years they've been with each other. This was something new. Keith could still visualize the blood and the torn off fingers laying limp on the deck of the ship and the cries of the young heir as she clung to her mangled hand. With the way Apate was muttering the word monster and the state AJ was in after he finally found the man, it made Keith wonder what exactly AJ saw while he was prisoner to the hallucinations.

”Not when we are supposed to be bodyguards. I don't see the professionalism in this.” AJ said stubbornly to emphasize that he wasn't going to let his partner's logic derived from Keith's pelvic region cloud his own sound opinion of his comrade's choices. As they neared the gates and joined the others AJ turned the conversation inwards and continued with Keith through their link. 'It's highly unprofessional to be unclothing yourself while on the job like this. We are at work, not at a strip club.'

A look of surprise crossed Keith face as he watched the gates open and took in all that the sinful pleasures the Peraltas had to offer. A chuckle escaped Keith as he briefly glanced at AJ before letting his eyes continue to take in his surroundings 'Your idea of professionalism might be a bit off here Spock.'

'It isn't my concern how the Bloodlines handle themselves in their day to day lives and their business unless AMRO decides to make it so.' Shrugging Keith's pestering aside, AJ slowly looked around the estate. Unlike his partner who was busy rating the scantly clothed women, AJ was calculating the new totals concerning the unimportant personnel and as he worked on memorizing the places someone could easily conceal themselves as well as weak points in the security, Keith was trying to figure out the routes of the nearby butlers to work out which one would come close enough to snag an alcoholic beverage before AJ could stop him.

A sigh crept out of AJ as the snippets of his partner's thoughts seeped into his mind through their even open link. It was times like these AJ wondered if Keith would purposely get sidetracked just to pester him. They had a job to do and instead of focusing on the important things he was busy letting himself get consumed by the pleasures that filled the estate. 'Can you at least put half the effort you are taking to ogle these wome-' AJ mentioned before suddenly pausing when he noticed the distortion in his field of vision.

As he watch his partner's composure stiffen and a great uneasiness could be felt through the link, Keith watched with curiosity as the distortion grew worse and Angel's voice explained the void. During the five years he was forced into joining AMRO and learning about the world of alchemy Keith has seen many things he wouldn't have thought to be possible and although he wasn't close to forgiving AMRO of the past, he was still amazed about the powers and wonders he has seen from time to time. ”This is actually quite neat.” Keith said as he looked around the library and brushed his fingers alongside a few books on a nearby shelf. Not only were the visual details quite impressive but even the feel of the books seemed to mimic reality with great accuracy.

”No, not neat.” AJ muttered as he shot a glare at Keith. 'Definitely not neat.' Keeping still in his place, AJ looked at Angle as he continued his thought to Keith. 'The mind, consciousness or whatever he wants to call it is a dangerous place and isn't something that should be meddled with'

“The Delacours are all dead!” The Chrono suddenly chirped, interrupting further conversation the duo were having between themselves.

”Well this mess will be interesting to deal with.” AJ muttered out loud to no one in general without a hint of surprise or sorrow as he waited to hear the rest of the details however was unimpressed when the Experimental Team got the debriefing derailed with Cade's overly emotional outburst. 'Are they seriously going whine and complain about the mission given to us?'

'Can you quit being you just for five minutes and be sympathetic? People have died AJ.' Although he didn't know the Delacours personally or even much about the bloodlines in general besides the things he read and heard over the years he knew that the bloodshed of that many people wasn't something to take lightly and Cade had the right to act the way he was.

'Deaths happen all the time. What makes this one so bad compared to all the people out in the world that die every day? Besides, the bloodlines have been at each other's throats recently so I don't see what is so sorrowful that more people have been added to the list'

It's not just the random killings that have been happening within the bloodlines but rather a whole bloodline has been annihilated. Innocent people were killed AJ and it doesn't end there. A second bloodline will follow suit by our doing.'

'And justice will be served so I don't see the problem.' Giving a shrug, AJ tuned their discussion out knowing that things wouldn't end with Keith and focused on the Experimental Team as Samad tried to reign in Cade before leading them to the door. The good news was that at least another overly emotional Asylum stepped up and gained Angel's attention before Keith could even get a chance to blurt out stupid nonsense and that he wasn't in Samad's shoes and making his way out the door with his partner.

Hearing voices above, Keith looked up in confusion and was surprised to see where Cade and Samad ended up after going through the door.“What the hell?” Keith muttered as he looked between Angel and the duo above. “If these doors leads us to god knows where, why didn't you putting the effort into stopping them or starting off about the dangers of the void when you first sucked us into here?”

”It's their fault they ended up there. They were being stupid.” AJ scoffed as he looked up at the duo. ”There are reasons why the mind and things like that shouldn't be tampered with.” AJ said, breaking his gaze upwards to look briefly towards Angel before continuing.”It's a dangerous thing to tamper with and they are lucky that they've only made a fool out of themselves rather than anything worse.”

”Whether you think of them as fools or not, we can't just leave them on the ceiling like that.” Keith said as he walked towards the door the duo walked out of and grabbed the handle.

'Don't.'

He wanted to help Samad get Cade right side up again or at least help point them in the right direction but as aggravating as AJ could be, he trusted the man for the most part and didn't open the door. Could he guarantee that the same door would lead him to the same exit? With very little knowledge of how the void works he couldn't be certain. But there was someone who did. Turning around to face Angel, Keith took a few steps away from the door.

'No, don't do that either.'

”Hey Angle,” Keith said, intentionally messing up Angel's name after the countless mistake the lost number had made throughout the day with their names.

'You are playing with fire Keith. Quit it.'

“You're the one who brought us in here so why don't you fix this little mess? It would be a shame if more paperwork was added to your pathetic little busywork due to a mishaps within the void.”

'You idiot.'
