After scores of nuclear explosions, after thousands of years of constant war and chaos, the Earth, what little is left of it, stands at peace, but for how long? From the last vestiges of Earth's cities arose 'another', created by mankind's greed for power and tendency for destruction. However, those 'others' were not the only creatures to rise from the radiation soaked Earth. An enemy. An enemy far greater than any warlord, far greater than any nuclear weapon, intent on destroying everything in it's path. No one knows what it's motive is, but they do know this: Humankind and the 'others' must band together, despite their apparent differences, and stand tall against it, or else what little is left on this Earth will cease to exist.

_____________

Hokay. So basically, this is a roleplay about Earth's apparent destruction, but only if the 'others' and humans band together can they stop this beast. However, the two races do not get along at all for the most part, proving this to be difficult to accomplish. The scene is the ruins of New York City. Due to the radiation in the air and in the water, there are few survivors left in the city. Some are human, some are 'others', each fighting the other for survival. It's basically a dog eat dog situation.
The monster hasn't reached New York City yet, so at the start of the RP will just be playing out our characters against each other. As for who controls the monster, anyone can, but within reason. Anyone can control the monster, but only one person can control it at time. Only one person can control it per scene. If this gets too confusing and out of hand, then it'll be just me or someone who volunteers, controlling the monster. As to what it can do or what it looks like, there's no restrictions. Think of it as the Cloverfield monster. You can make it do whatever you want, within reason. Again, don't have it to where it's like a mecha. It's flesh and bone, that's it.
As for weapons for the people, guns are permitted but please be aware that your ammunition is not unlimited. You'll run out sooner or later. The main weapons are going to be things like swords and bows and arrows and things that don't require electricty or technology to make/forge.
You can choose to be a human, or an 'other'. An 'other' may have a special ability, may look different from humans, or may do certain things that humans can't. However, don't go overboard with abilities. Keep it simple.

Use this template to make your character. You can be however many people you feel like you can handle.

Character Description
 
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Race:
Personality:
Appearance:
History:


[size=7]Humans[/size]
Kuro-chan
 
Name: Imbri Mae
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Race: Human
Personality: Despite his age, he is very childish and immature. However, when it comes to any life or death situation, Imbri can be a bit headstrong and overconfident, and therefore reckless. He desperately wants to be an 'other', but will most likely never get to be one.
Appearance: Imbri has light brown eyes, almost golden, along with straight, dirty blonde hair that falls only an inch below his ears. He has a girlish face, and can easily be mistaken for a woman.
History: Imbri has been on his own ever since he was 7 since his parents got caught in one of the last bombings of NYC. He mainly stays in the subways since it's the only place safe from radiation, and only ventures out into the open when he can't find food or water anywhere in the subways. Imbri knows every nook and cranny of every underground place of NYC inside and out, but can easily get lost on the surface.
He lacks good fighting skills (he's somewhat decent), but is an excellent hunter, especially in the dark. However, when faced with an 'other' with an irrational hate of humans, Imbri stands no chance except for to try and talk the 'other' out of killing him by negotiating and offering services in return.


Kuro-chan
 
Name: Lucifer
Gender: Male
Age: 33
Race: Human
Personality: He often stays calm and level-headed, even in the heat of battle. He will always find a way to get through any situation. If he can't find one, he'll make one himself. The problem is, he doesn't know when to give up.
Appearance: He's about 6 feet, 1 inches tall with cropped brown hair. He has one blue eye, one brown eye and has a scar on his left bicep, and one really nasty one on his right shoulder. He often looks militaristic and could be mistaken for one of the army.
History: Lucifer found a young 'other' roaming the streets and took her in. He took care of Kisla until she decided it was time to leave. Now he, along with his trusty dog, Tai, he camps out in what used to be a mall. The only weapons he has with him is a switchknife and a hatchet, which he mainly uses for survival.


[size=7]'Others'[/size]
Kuro-chan
 
Name: Kisla Jari
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Race: 'Other'
Personality: She has a very withdrawn personality. She will not talk if it can be helped, but even if she does, she only says a sentence or two in a small, emotionless voice. Despite this, she is very friendly and doesn't differentiate between humans and 'others'.
Appearance:  Kisla has short, shaggy blonde hair with deep gray eyes as well as a blonde fluffy tail (most likely a cat's). She is scantily dressed, only enough to cover what needs to be covered and nothing more. Her hands are calloused and she even has an open wound or two on her legs. She's on the beginnings of becoming anorexic due to the scarcity of food and water.
History: She was born from a human family, yet she herself didn't turn out as a human. Her tail was the only proof they needed. Because she was one of them, she was outcasted as a baby. A human boy came across her and raised her as his own.
Despite her weak appearance, she does have cat-like abilities and a few magical abilities such as creating a temporary shield, and throwing explosive balls of energy. Even so, she can only do one of these things at a time and tires easily.

Name: IR (Like Infrared, get it? It's pronounced I-R.)

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown

Race: Other

Personality: A vagabond who works alone. Knows when to do what's right and when to lay off. Applies a light sense of humor to a serious situation to lessen tension, but always gets the job done.

Appearance: Has a pair of red-tinted sunglasses. Wears a white t-shirt that reads "Inultus Refero" in a smallish print. He wears dark gray cargo pants and boots. He has a large strap going across the front of his body holding a large sword on his back. He wears biker gloves. He's about average height for a human and is completely human in appearance.

History: IR was born with the name Ignatius Rollins unto a human household. He lived the average life of a boy growing up in the city with the exception of one thing. His trips to the doctor. The doctor would note strange occurrences happening inside Ignatius's body. His parents took no bother about it and continued raising him as any parent would their own child.

Ignatius wasn't the most cooperative person. He viewed schools as an oppressive establishment and ended up not going to college. He stayed with his parents for a few years.

One day, his parents were away, and he got a phone call. It was an emergency. His parents had been murdered.

He went as fast as he could to the crime scene, and found them dead on the floor. Almost immediately, he felt a surging power coursing through him, and he somehow knew where the killer was. He made chase and eventually caught up.

Upon finding the killer, Ignatius removed the sunglasses that he almost always wore. He proceeded to stare down the killer. Tiny, thin, red beams went from his eyes and shone upon the killer. The killer was confused, and didn't know what was going to happen to him. Suddenly, he felt hot, and Ignatius noted that. He intensified his stare. The killer burst into flames. Ignatius turned his back and fled the scene.

Ever since then, Ignatius has traveled the world as an avenger of defenseless humans. He calls himself IR. He provides the innocent with defense and protects the world upon which he was born. He is wanted by every possible establishment of government, but stays well concealed. Today, he lives among every one of us as a human. No one can trace him. No one knows where he is. No one knows who he is.

He purchased a sword from a pawn shop recently, and it took only a short time to master sword fighting. He is a master swordsman now, with unbeatable technique. He has never used it in combat, though. He awaits the day that he will have to, and with the recent situation arising, that time may be soon...

Weakness: After using his infrared eyes, IR takes about half an hour to recharge. During this time, his super sense is depleted, as well as his strength. He gets out of focus, persay. For instance, he'll have disrupted vision and can't focus on his target as clearly as usual.

indimew
 
Name: Fault Zone (People call her Z, FZ, Fault)
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown
Race: Human?
Personality: Likes to be funny, during uncomfortable times. Pretty hard core and serious during other times. Likes to get things done and will not stop if anyone is in her way. She holds grudges and barely ever takes mercy. Believes in 'the strongest will survive'.
Appearance: BOP! --> http://indimew.deviantart.com/art/Characte...t-Zone-32987311
Will post with an updated image as soon as I draw it, because she has changed a bit.
History: You can read all of her abilities and history and stuff on her character sheet but for this:

She's been around since the start of the decay. As the radiation penetrated her body and began to kill her cells, changing them, something in the biological make-up changed as well. When more cells were bad than good, her body switched its strategy, it evolved in a single generation! She thrives on radiation, giving her semi intense sensory abilities. This has also been honed due to her semi-paranoid outlook and due to watching for enemies. She can usually pick up on when there's something big and bad going to happen, and she knows when strange people are around her. She's slightly faster than average (due to training) and hardly ever falls unaware.

However her constant reflexes and awareness leaves her tired and unfocused if she's awake for long periods of time. It takes a lot of energy to maintain awareness.

Chao
 
Name: Chaos
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Race: Other (tiger/human mutation, more tiger than human)
Personality: Chaos is usually negative, and dislikes humans, but will still help them when they are in trouble.
Appearance: Chaos simply looks like a tiger that stands on two legs. His upper body is built more like a humans, but if he stands on all fours, he could still easily be mistaken for a normal tiger.
History: Chaos was once a scientist, and tried to warn everyone what would happen if the bombings continued, but most just ignored him. His change came while he was in his lab. A nuclear blast tore apart half of his lab, instantly knocking him unconsious. However, when he woke up, he felt just fine... except that he was no longer human.

He has superhuman strength, speed, and senses, but tires out after using his strength or running for too long. He actually likes his new form, and uses his knowledge and his new strength to help others, but he is bitter towards most humans, which usually comes out through sarcasm.

I think it may be better if you establish a basic form and function and attitude of the monster so that we can add to it but keep it all along the same lines.

A question

Exactly WHAT kind of other can we be? Like is this close to human, is this a mutated form of another creature, is it a pile of goo? Etc etc?

It's close to humans. Some can have animalistic instincts and abilities (within reason. Only use animals that are found near NYC (including the zoo)), some can be more human with some kind of magic given to them from the radiation, some can have enhanced sight, hearing, sense of smell, etc, but the form is more or less human. And I will think of a basic form and function for the monster. x33

As I said in the other thread, I can dig this swingin' jive, cool cats.

Another Edit: Said "military organization" instead of "government".

It's good, but your character needs some kind of weakness so IR won't be all powerful. Like mine has quick reflexes, and can reflect projectiles back at her opponent and all that, but she tires easily. Same with Indi's. His has powers, too, but she tires easily as well. There needs to be some kind of consequence to your person using his abilities or something like that.

I should also note that Fault fights with random things...and has a gun with only 3 bullets left.

(Random things = pipes from destroyed buildings, rocks, 2 by 4s, so on.

Well, since all the characters so far are "others" (X-Men for the win!) I'll make a human character based on myself. And by based on myself, I mean I'll change my name and edit my personality.

Name: Guipen Nyays (Pronounced "gee-pen nuh-yay-z" the "gee" is as in "geese" and the "nuh" is almost silent. Try to guess what his name means)
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Race: Human
Personality: Guipen is a calm, quiet person who has been hardened by the trials of living in a broken world. He has incredible focus, and once he sets his mind on something, he doesn't stop until he's completed that task.

Appearance: Guipen is pretty average height-wise. He has a wild mess of light brown hair, and his eyes seem to be a strange mix between blue, green, and gray, often changing to different combinations of the three. He wears black denim pants and a red t-shirt covered with an olive, slightly puffy sweater. He also has a thin silver chain with a small bear charm on it that he wears at all times, but is usually hidden underneath his shirt.

History: As a kid, Guipen was a happy, cheerful person. He had been lucky enough to grow up in a neighborhood untouched by the radiation and spent his days playing games with his friends, oblivious to the chaos that had engulfed the rest of the world. That all changed when the monster came to his city.

It was the week after Guipen's 15th birthday. He had a few new games and was playing them with his brother when he heard a crash like thunder on a quiet night. When he went to investigate, he found a massive beast outside his house. It had his mother in one hand. Panicking, Guipen looked around for his father. When he looked back to the monster, he noticed something. There was a scrap of clothing on it's blood-stained jaws that looked exactly like the shirt his dad had been wearing. Guipen turned and ran back towards the house, looking for something he could use against the beast. He found a meat cleaver on the knife rack and ran back outside with it to see the monster had already begun destroying the rest of his neighborhood. There was no sign of his mother. Guipen screamed and drew back his arm, throwing the meat cleaver as hard as he could. It struck the monster on one of its arms, causing it to turn and sweep away Guipen's house in one devastating blow. Somehow, the boy was not killed by the blow. Instead, he felt darkness creeping into his vision as he blacked out.

When Guipen woke up, he found that his entire neighborhood had been destroyed. He was the only living thing as far as he could see. The next few hours were spent crying for his parents and his brother, who he could only assume had been killed when the house was destroyed. When he finally stopped crying, Guipen went to the ruins of his house and found the remains of his room. Digging through the rubble, he let out a miserable chuckle as he saw that his saber had somehow remained unharmed. He picked it up and brandished it, a thought forming in his head. He was already trained to fence; if he could become a better swordsman, he might be able to kill the monster that had forever ruined his life. So he left what was left of his old life behind and set off to find the terrible creature who had caused him such grief.

What Guipen found in the rest of the world was a horrible eye-opener. The entire world had been ruined by bombs, radiation, and the monster. He felt a terrible fury rising in him, not only for the monster, but for the people who had created with their hate and destruction. He realized that he would be unable to rely on anyone for help and that life would be incredibly difficult with the entire world in turmoil. So he began wandering the world, taking what he could to survive, and constantly training to keep himself and his blade sharp. It has been two years since then, and he has become cynical and cold towards others, though deep down he still hopes that his mom and brother may still be alive.

Other Notes: Guipen trained as a fencer before his home was destroyed, and continued training afterwards so he fights with a saber which he keeps in case of trouble and to hunt for food. Because of his training, his reflexes are much faster than the average human's, and he can strike with great speed and power, but it wears him out quickly.

I know, it's really long. Once I started the history I just couldn't stop. That's still less than I wanted. >_>
