I'm glad to get this rolling again! I will be updating my CS once I get some free time and aiming for it to be done early on in the week.

After the End

I'll be working on a character for the Hunters and a concept for them after I get a post for the IC up and depending on my work schedule (end of the week/weekend usually very heavy for me) I'm hoping to get that done during the weekend or the beginning of the week. I've chatted with the GMs and have an idea brewing for that group which might bring some trouble for a few of you.

After the End

Two years ago…

“I don't wanna to do this anymore.” Tia grumbled as slumped lower into her chair and pushed the textbook she was reading away from her. “We've been working on this textbook for days now and it's boring. I hate it.”

“It will come to great use one day Tia.” A woman in her early forties said as she grabbed the chair next to Tia's desk and sat down. “I know learning some of this can be bothersome and trust me, I know. Just a little secret between you and me, I've fallen asleep in a few of your parent's lectures before the war but nonetheless, this information is important and you need to learn it.”

“But why Annie? Kimber said that her momma and dad said that the we are all going to die and then that's it. They said that there isn't going to be a future and the world won't be rebuilt and that the world is nothing but a hellhole that...”

“TIA MAE PHILLIPS! Watch your mouth! What would your parents think if they heard you cuss like that?” Annie exclaimed, cutting the girl off before she could continued. “Don't let anyone make you lose hope. Humanity has been hit hard but we are not eradicated. Your parents and I might not be alive when that time comes but when they do they will need help when it comes to rebuilding society and we are giving you and all the kids here that knowledge. You are the hope for the future.”

Present…

“Little giiirl, where are youuu? Don't think you can hide foreeever.” The man said in a singsongy voice as he walked in the direction Tia was hiding in as he dragged the metal bat he was carrying so that it scrapped the tile beneath him with a loud grinding sound. “Little giiirl, why don't you come on out and I promise I won't hurt you too much.”

Wedged beneath the display table of what appeared to be a clothing store at the edge of the city before the war Tia could only see the man's boots and knee length pants as they slowly made their way towards her. She could feel her heart pounding but at that moment there was no opportunity to make a run for it and fighting wasn't an option. All she could do was stay as quite as she could and wait.

“Come on, I've asked nicely. I promise that you don't want to upset me kiddo.” The man took a few more steps and stopped as he looked around the room.

Gripping the baton tightly, Tia watched the man carefully. He was close enough now that he was within range of using her weapon but that also meant that she was in danger of being clobbered by the bat. She had to time things just right if she were to escape. A loud crash was heard which caused Tia to jump but she made sure to stay put.

“Fine, if you won't come out I'll just have to swing my bat around until I scare you out or hit your pretty face.” The man said as he swung a second time, this time in the opposite direction from Tia and knocked down a clothing rack.

With the man facing away from her, the man's calves exposed, Tia rammed her baton into them and sent an electric charge out. Although it wasn't enough to knock the man out, it was enough to send the man tumbling down and taking this opportunity, Tia took another swing towards the man's head and ran out of the store. She hoped that she knocked the man out and not just dazed him but she didn't want to waste any time seeing the result of her swing and get as far away from the man as she could.

Rushing out the door, she ran into something hard as her eyes struggled to adjust to the daylight but feeling a hard grip Tia knew she was in trouble.

“Going somewhere missy?” A man asked.

Clawing and twisting away, Tia tried to get out of the man's grasp but she wasn't strong enough. Yelping in pain as the man twisted her baton out of her hand, Tia listened as it fell to the ground. Her only hope of fight the man off was now out of reach. She was screwed.

After the End

I wasn't able to finish my post before having to head out. I'll finish it up tonight as well as send you (@Penguin and @Potter) a pm with more details about the university and their parents and we can see if we need to adjust anything.

After the End

@Saint Girralo for some reason I can see Sarah and Tia getting along well. Hmm I might have to seeif I can get them to meet up.

After the End

I love the sunglasses! They look quite fun.

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.
