Postapocalyptia | OOC [Apps Closed]

[Highfort]

It'd be easy to take down too, if the Vagabonds needed to do so.

For how we meet up, I was thinking that we could have ended up in some sort of Gazprom or raider camp as prisoners, and we all end up staging some sort of riot to stage our escape. We jack a truck and some other vehicles, and after a hairy firefight, we all end up deciding to work with one another, at least for a little bit. It's not the storyline of the original RP, but it could work.



I could see Cudgel hiring them, though Willis might not really like that idea. Still though, it's work. Perhaps Cudgel could send them out as some sort of independent strike team, operating autonomously from the rest of the organization.

It's good, but my character would have no reason to help the group nor to remain with them.

Well it could be on the wrong side of the salt flats, so they'd need her to navigate them and deal with the locals.

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

Even if someone volunteers for it? Less of a scout and more of an escort, an outrider of sorts, kind of like the bikes in Mad Max.

Lil'Bit can fulfill the outrider role in a pinch. I may ditch the bike scouts, but I thought it handy for something scout-like characters (Esma, Temir, and in a pinch Johanna comes to mind) could do while the Vagabonds are on the road, these bikes won't be used outside that purpose or for other tactical support applications if absolutely needed.

@James. We have a wilderness expert (Esma) for the Great Khan region. It would be interesting to see why a hunter would want to be a Vagabond so... I say go for it.

@Tilt, let me know as soon as you're done with your app. So far I agree, weirdness! Love!

There's a lot of great game in the wilds, I could imagine that he would want to be part of that. I mean, hunting down a Groveback should be high on his wish list.

[Galdius]

What kind of protection does the people riding on top of the truck have? is their fighting potions jerryrigged on top to ensure the survival? otherwise they are going to be pretty well paste'd in vehicular combat.

[Transoxthraxia]

What kind of protection does the people ridding on top of the truck have? is their fighting potions jerryrigged on top to ensure the survival? otherwise they are going to be pretty well paste'd in vehicular combat.

Judging by the logic applied to vehicles so far, the latter.

I would imagine they'd probably retreat to the flatbed during vehicular combat to protect the supplies. Or they can hang on for dear life, if that's their thing. Maybe jury-rig some scrap into defenses atop the cabin's roof.

I suppose we could just give them some explosive sticks and send them off to die for the cause.

Btw I'll likely further add more wildlife tomorrow. I'll post it independent of the primary list since that shit is too long to post. The most recently updated listing can be found not far behind in the pages for those interested.

>taking down a groveback
>Good luck with that

Just keep in mind there's more megafauna on Rigel than on earth currently, it's also typically at least somewhat larger and very alien, so hunting that shit is very difficult. I sincerely doubt even a modest amount of people know the megafauna species' anatomy so lethal shots are going to be near impossible.

One demolitions expert, coming right up.

I don't think that's very feasible when you're both getting rammed and shot at by multiple vehicles.

if you want to go full jerry rig, then I'd recommend something like old small car body being welded onto the top and then being reinforced with bulletproof materials, enough to stop small arms fire and other such things.

Indeed. You can't just expect Lil' Bit to do all the work, now. Perhaps we can do firing slats worked into the flatbed or the cover that protects the flatbed?

A quad mount AA turret would be nice, I mean lucy at least had firepower and that's the main problem I see, mostly everyone lacks it.

Lucy had a lot more going for her than what we have right now, including character. I second this motion; the main rig needs some sort of serious firepower, perhaps something like Galdius' suggestion, or maybe even a Gauss Cannon, or magnetic rail cannon? Something that could really put the hurt on enemy vehicles?

[Lunas Legion]

So, any character areas that need filling? The personality and bio I've got so far can fit with pretty much anything, so what do we need?

That's the whole sport for Griswell. Discovering Megafauna. Doing discoveries. Finding out how these creatures tick, one killed beast at a time. For him, the biggest prize is probably to take home one of those gliding spider things. A true, vicious predator.

In support of my own suggestion, AA quad mount would be good against vehicles and infantry at range but would force the characters to take the fight to infantry should they get into close, mainly because I assuming the turret wouldn't be able to elevate low enough to take them on. Plus it would go through ammo like a bunch of staving kids would food at a all you can eat oriental buffet. So I think it'd fit well enough and is nowhere near OP levels, and would force the characters not to rely on it in combat.

[Esternial]

I'd start off with a simple rig and upgrade it from there.

Yeah, maybe. But at the end of the day, the AA Gun is, well, flaccid, compared to the sheer "Holy fuck" factor of the Gauss Cannon. In the same way as your AA cannon, it wouldn't be too useful against infantry, and its shells would be pretty rare considering where we are. You'd be able to deal with vehicles with ease, but you would have to dismount to fight anything else, and you'd have to use the ammo sparingly.

I thought the point of this was a non-militarized vehicle, getting away from Lil' Bit's model.

And I agree with Esternial's suggestion. The rig can evolve to meet our needs.

Unless Rigel-3 has changed drastically since I last checked, aren't there roving bandit clans and super-hostile fauna all over the place? Lone vehicles or small groups of vehicles practically have to be armed well.

if the Gauss cannon was massive it'd be pretty good, like, i'd love having some sort of Ostwind deal ontop, with armor all around the gun protecting both the gun crew and other passengers.

Gliding spider things? If you mean the Skewer, then I'm going to tell that it's an apex predator and you're not going to be able to kill that thing, unless you have a homing rocket launcher or some shit. It's lethal, huge and fast. I mean, it's got a biological propulsion system. That's pretty OP.

Also, one isn't doing discoveries through that type of activity. Scientists and whatnot are already doing it through studying remains and observing. He'd also need space and instruments to perform proper autopsies and make discoveries if he wants to do that. The former of which we don't have at all.
Just cutting up things in the scorching sun isn't shedding light on the anatomy as you don't know what organ is what. You'd need space, time, a refrigerator and etc. things we won't have.

"Sheeredge", the blade nicknamed for its insanely sharp edge. Cuts cleanly through even steel with a good enough swing. Made from the light blue metal Tritonium, a supermetal used to make the armor of space battleships. Used only by the Beast.

Lil'bit, an offroad vehicle gifted to Eira by Sev. Contains several supplies from food and water to tarp and poles. Contains a maxim machine gun and tripod, dismantled and set in a case in the back.

Personality: Eira herself is a humble woman. She's never been prideful of her actions, often mentioning the assistance of others in her missions. To her, her vagabonding are for the desire for adventure, to live a fulfilled life, and, deep down, to better the world; Not to boast about it. She is quite apologetic and rarely lies. She is pretty honest on what she does, even about her various personalities even if it does risk getting her kicked out. She is pretty empathetic, and does not wish harm or to harm people. She simply wishes to live and let live. That doesn't mean, when push comes to shove, that she won't fight. She is not combat minded, but can suppress herself enough to fight. She has trouble aiming to kill, which often leads her to be not as combat effective as she should be. She is a caring individual, and will not ignore someone who needs medical attention or food. This has since been exemplified with the birth of her daughter, which has made her more into a motherly figure than before. She is still quiet, and doesn't like talking to people much, but she can speak when she desires to. When she is emotional, she can be quiet serious and assertive. She suffers from PTSD, triggered by talks of her pregnancy or the mention of it. She is sometimes happy, but often has an either neutral look or a downcast one.

Eira suffers from DID, which gives her multiple personalities which really seem like different people.

1. The Mistress: Sly and seductive. She speaks in a sultry tone. She is a prostitute, selling her body in exchange for cash. She enjoys her work greatly, having a high libido. Sometimes, if its someone she likes or finds attractive, she does it for free. She is heterosexual and has a slight disdain for other women, even showing jealousy to some. She smokes cigarettes and drinks gin. She gets really mad at the mention of age, although she does act like an old fashion harlot. She dislikes Shimmer, as the girl calls her grandma which she hates. But she tolerates her enough.
2. The Professor: Old and experienced. A man who has seen many things and traveled to many places. He acts like a leader and knows what he is doing (even when its not his field). He does not prefer other people, but does work with them when needed. He is sort of a hardass, but he has a soft spot, even if he doesn't show it. He likes kids, and acts like a grandfather of sorts. He loves Shimmer, being her designated Grandpa.
3. The Veteran: Jolly and casual. The Veteran makes a show of himself and drinks away his memories. When in combat, the soldier switches on and he goes really serious, even when inebriated. He is heterosexual, and likes to hit on women (though, most of his attempts fail as most people think he is a lesbian and a lot of ladies aren't convinced otherwise). He drinks whiskey and smokes cigars. He likes Shimmer, being her designated dad.
4. The kid. Wild, free, and full of life. She is a free spirit, happy most of the time. She is very sensitive and gets emotional at the tiniest slight. She isn't good at controlling her emotions. She likes to steal a lot, often lying about it. She rarely gets caught though, but when she does she lets Eira deal with it. She loves candy. She loves Shimmer, being her designated big sister.
5. The Beast: A wolf in human skin. Savage and cannibalistic. Non cooperative and vicious. Loves the taste of blood, regardless of its origin. Eats the flesh of foes, often human ones. Dangerous to all. Despite his inherent danger, Shimmer calls him her big brother. Oddly enough, the beast never attacks Shimmer and even protects her; Whether out of brotherly care or belief she is his cub. He uses the "Sheeredge", his personal weapon.

Traits, quirks, habits: She has a lisp, making hard for her to communicate clearly. She has a personal bubble which she likes to maintain; the only person allowed to violate it is her daughter Shimmer. She bits her hair when nervous. She writes with her left hand.
Likes: Eira likes to sit by fires, read news, stargaze, and study artifacts. Coffee is her drink of choice. Her passion is traveling and is her lifestyle. She enjoys the company of her daughter, even if she is a burden and has caused her suffering beforehand. Her hobby is writing, whether a story or just notes.
Dislikes: Tea, sugar, drugs, alcohol, sweets, her other personalities and killing people.
Reason for becoming a Vagabond:

A man in her past helped her, raised her, and trained her in the ways of the Vagabond. Since then, she has followed that as her path in life. Even if she didn't want to, she didn't have any other option. DID made her difficult to work with and outright dangerous if the Beast arises.

Bio: Eira's life is one full of tragedy and happiness, with the former making a large portion but the latter making a larger impact.

Eira was born on UNS Safeguard, a battleship turn flying hospital, a year after Landfall, to a japanese family. She lived on that ship for half of her life, living the early part happily. Of course, that didn't last. Nine years into life, she killed two of her classmates and ate parts of them. The event sent her straight into the padded room, while the doctors diagnosed her. After weeks of Psychoanalysis, she was diagnosed with DID and sent to the mental health ward of the ship, dubbed the Asylum. She lived there for the rest of her time on Safeguard, sedated most of the time.

This life ended when Safeguard finally crashed. Eira was lucky to be one of the survivors of the ship. Then the Beast took over and made them the sole survivor. Search parties would see her, surrounded by bodies of those that survive, eating them. Not even the search parties went unscathed, as the beast attacked and killed many of them. Soon after, she disappeared.

14 and wandering the wastes, covered in blood, everyone treated her with high suspicion. Lucky for her, a man named Jared picked her up and practically adopted her. Jared taught her the ways of Vagabonding, surviving the wastes, and instilling a sense of purpose and passion within Eira. She traveled with Jared for four years before he died in a firefight. While she worked with him, she came into contact with Renascimento, who Jared worked missions for. She dropped contact with the organization some time after Jared's death, but has contacted them periodically to sell artifacts and information

Eira worked with Hiram and other Vagabonds on several jobs, from taking down a bandit baddie, to rescuing the party leader. Eira eventually parted ways with the group, seeking to travel to other parts of the planet and search on her own. Before she parted, she was given the vehicle Lil'bit, a gift from Sev who turned into a dear friend of hers. She considers the group one of her fonder memories.

It wasn't long until tragedy struck her again. She doesn't know when or who, but she got pregnant. She became extremely stressed and depressed, with it becoming worse and worse as the pregnancy went on. She traveled the best she could, searching for a doctor willing to and with the no how to give her an abortion. Unfortunately for her, she couldn't find one, being in an area very tribal and conservative at the time. This made her consider taking her life on several occasions, with one attempt which failed.

Eventually she went into labour. Camped out in an ancient ruin of the previous civilization, she gave birth alone in one of the still standing buildings. With guts and tons of painkillers, she got through it, giving birth to Shimmer. After her birth, she went unconscious, having strange dreams of a strange nature. She remembers the birth and dream clearly to this day, sometimes recalling strange happenings during it.

Eira was very conflicted over whether to keep Shimmer or not, at this point not yet named. She thought of giving her to a village, but she had a huge sense of doubt when going to do it. Over time, this lessened, finally deciding to keep her despite the danger to her. Eventually she named her Shimmer, for the "glow" of her eyes, hair, and skin at night.

Eira spent the next years both traveling and raising Shimmer. She is going to the Great Khan Desert to search for the ruins, often left untouched because of their inhospitable location.

Name: Shimmer Takahashi
Sex: Female
Age: 4
Height: 3'4"
Weight: 45 lbs

General appearance: [url=this]http://2.p.mpcdn.net/27186/468290/1.jpg[/url] Shimmer has bright cerulean eyes, silver hair, and pale skin.

Skills:

Children don't hold many skills, yet the wastes of Rigel-3 necessitates that they learn things fast.
Can apply bandaids and ointment
Can hold tools
Only knows english
Good picture drawer
Great smiler
Expert crotch puncher

Stuff they own:

A small duster similar to her mothers but in much better condition
A small backpack.
Crayons and paper
A book
Some rations
A small plastic water bottle
a fleece blanket

Personality: Shimmer is like a lot of children her age. Outgoing and free, without a sense of danger. Despite Eira's best efforts, she constantly gets herself in situations that might harm her. She approaches most people with enthusiasm and curiosity, wanting to talk to them. While she is a free spirit, she does listen to her mother and takes her orders seriously.
Traits, quirks, habits: She giggles constantly, even if the situation is more serious. She tilts her head at everything, looking at them from different angles. She bites her nails a lot, an unconscious habit.
Likes: She is a similar to most kids. She loves sweets and sugar. She loves to draw and likes animals especially Gyrosprinters. She likes playing games and having fun. She likes mimicking her mother, doing similar things to her. She loves her "family". She likes to visit the ruins and look at artifacts of the old civilization. She loves the stories her mother tells her. She loves napping in the back of Lil'bit.
Dislikes:

Seeing her mother cry.
Being alone
Being away from her mom
Vegetables
Coffee

Reason for becoming a Vagabond: Her mother is a Vagabond so she wants to be one too! (like she has much of a choice)

Bio: Shimmer was born more than four years ago in an ancient ruin. Early in her life, there was question on whether her mother would keep her. Eventually, Eira decided to keep her. She has never been far apart since.

Shimmer was unique child. Her skin was snow white and her eyes were cerulean. At night, they seemed to "glow". As she grew, it turned out her hair was silvery white, shimmering like her eyes. Hence, she was named "Shimmer". Not only her appearance, but she has a strange attraction to the ruins and artifacts of the past civilization. Besides that, she is a normal child of the wastes.

She has traveled with her mother everywhere, not being far apart. She visited ruins, cities, towns, meeting a lot of people, sometimes getting into trouble. Despite some antics, it was often because of her that she and Eira don't get kicked out.

Redid Shimmer's app and added Lil'bit and mechanics to Eira.

[The Carlisle]

That's the whole sport for Griswell. Discovering Megafauna. Doing discoveries. Finding out how these creatures tick, one killed beast at a time. For him, the biggest prize is probably to take home one of those gliding spider things. A true, vicious predator.

Or just take a tritonium blade to the body

Edit: Also, just to point out. Lil'bit is demilitarized at this point. The mounted machine gun is in a case in the back, and the back has been converted to bedding/supplies.
