Thanks mate, I'm currently deciding on what species I'd be, but would something similar to a warlike but otherwise poorly developed race be viable? Thinking something akin to a backwards but individually intimidating people that, while having working tech, do not have the same level of tech as the rest of the races, perhaps.
Though of course, up to you, otherwise thanks for having me in!
Hey there, I'd be rather interested in this, provided there are of course still spaces available.
James was almost calmed by the sudden jolt as the engines kicked to life and gave their own affirmative roar of being in working order, it reminded him a time most simple when compared to this, a time which he would be dear to return to but knew was impossible. Sighing once again, he paced about the main deck of the ship in a rather uniform manner. It was in his mind that a gunnery officer was also a man which should do his part in order to ensure that the safety of the ship was assured.

Placing a hand on the pommel of his sabre, James watched as the ever shrinking image of the Bazaar shrunk out of sight and into the depths of the all consuming mists which shrouded much of the zees. "All is lost, yet most do not turn to savagery. Remarkable" he mused thinking to his times within the somewhat higher class societies of London, most pleasant times those... With a swift motion, James realigned himself to be on course with his earlier pacing about the place though now it was set to end at the gunnery position, his position.

It still came as something of a shock to the aged zailor, and sailor, that people would even wish to venture out from the relative pleasantry of London and what remained of it's surface lands. James considered many of those people outside of the city to be barbarians and savages which lacked knowledge and decency amongst themselves. Setting his gloved hands on the side railing near the gun position, James observed the swirl of water just beyond the confines of the ship as they sailed off northwards to the Tomb Colonies.
Also he does wear a kilt.

So, yeah.


Good, he wouldn't be Scottish if he lacked a kilt!
(yay sterotypes)
<Snipped quote by SomeChap>

"Potentially" Scottish.

He's more Scottish than anyone else ever was!

I need to get him a great sword at some point


Have him wear a tartan kilt and wielding a giant greatsword fashioned from a streetlight or something. Bonus points if he can simultaneously play the bagpipes

Great big, potentially Scottish, mutant with a hammer is pretty damn threatening, haha.
William was still rather annoyed from the happenings of earlier, not only was he quite gravely frustrated at his own inability to notice the instability of the brick work resulting in his detection but he was rather dismayed at the apparent hatred he had garnered from this group of...people.

He had no idea what the hell the larger one among them was, though William suspected it to be some manner of radiation-blasted mutation of a human though nothing similar to himself as he appeared grossly over muscled and highly aggressive towards everyhing. Either way, William was on edge internally and knew all too well that these people could likely shift into some form of violence if he showed himself to be either feral or dangerous to them in any way. He opted to try to appear as civillised and sentient as he damn well could do.

Travelling with them had proved to be a matter of simply staying silent and hoping that the mutant-thing didn't come too close to him. He noted that he, or whatever it was, seemed to be much more the sort leaning towards brute force rather than diplomacy. William had reasoned that it would pay off to go with these people, even if they were seemingly hostile to him initially...they couldn't be worse than his forays into the Lancaster wastes...

Wrapping his tattered up coat about himself, William had checked and rechecked that nothing had loosened itself from his possession. Fortunately, everything remained including his meager medical equipment.

He hadn't noticed much change during nightfall, ghoul senses being what they were, and he garnered that he could likely barter his skill with scalpel and medpack in exchange for not getting stabbed or otherwise maimed by these people and their mutant. "Now then... we, appear to not be killing eachother. Which is good, may I add. However, if I may offer the fact that I am a man of medicine? That may be of assistance to you?" He began well, but he detected some slight amount of doubt in his tone.

"Perhaps that may be used to...sway you towards preferably not removing any bits and pieces?" He tried to maintain a clearer and understandable voice, which remained quite easy considering necrosis had yet to tamper so much with his vocal cords. Difficulty arose more from his accent, as he spoke with a relatively thick North Yorkshire accent, maybe these southeners would understand.

@SomeChap Oi, Sep has been badmouthing you. :P


As I see it, quite a few people have it in store for me.
Gunnary officer James F. Howard had made himself busy in keeling beside the deck gun of the ship in which he was serving and checking the thing over. He was one of those few fortunate...or unfortunate given your point of view, souls to have been allowed to join the crew of Captain Zeeman, and his seemingly nameless vessel. The gunner had little opinion of Zeeman as of yet, though he was confident that the chap was at least competent. James himself was becked in the slightly worn navy blue uniform and finery befitting a somewhat mild ranking officer of the current London naval forces, his cantaloupe-coloured facial hair impeccably well groomed and neat.

While in reality his hands were busy toiling away and checking various components of the naval gun, his mind has since revolted at such reality as this and had shown not the darkened docks of the city, but instead a bright and well preserved docks with the sighing of rejected zailors being instead the well-dressed masses cheering for the sailors of the navy. "They clearly don't make these guns as they used to do" he muttered in a barely audiable mumble as he checked over the steel and iron construction of a gun. "With any luck we're stocked up on ammunition..." He followed in a somewhat optimistic voice.

Raising himself from the rather small calibre armaments of the nameless vessel, James proceeded to generally get accustomed to the surroundings of the ship. He was not used to such a diminutive vessel and the lack of space (and large calibre naval cannons) had proved to be quite disorientating to the old zailors senses.

Casting his gaze across the vessel, he saw the current captain engaging in conversation with what appeared to be some manner bandage-clad figure. "Remarkably strange things they are, those people." He commented, though in a voice keeping it's volume well in control as to avoid incitng the tomb colonist. With a slight sigh, James proceeded back to his station, to await instruction.
