Okay so I don't want to be related to the rest of the Family, is it cool if I'm an adopted member of a family friend who happened to be Irish and they were like "oh yeah come in this house. We'll find you a nice place and we can have a good time surviving the apocalypse"?

Because otherwise I REALLY want to be my own "faction"

At least half of the people in the Family aren't actually related to each other.

Oh okay cool.

I can just live on their block and help them out then?

Well you can easily live with the Family without being related to them. My char just sort of moved in with them.

I think I'll be sort of in sort of out.

Like technically living in their area, talking to them most, but also wander around a lot. Talk to people go on adventures. Say hi to governments. Make connections. Advance my own agenda. Etc.

Character Creation Sheet

Picture Appearance:

Character Name: Riley Soto
Nation Name: Reatra...?
Sex: (Really obvious.)
Ethnicity|Nationality: Cuban, Irish, Genovese Italian, Galician. I suppose citizenship in the Californian Union and spends most of his time in the Contested Territory, namely San Francisco.
Race: Normal Human I guess.
Birthdate|Age: Born in 2000, so 30 years old.

Occupation: Pre-End|Current Pre-End: Student, hobbies included writing, drawing, cartography, making mock military battles and running them in simulations, researching history and orders of battle, writing in RPs online, making California secessionist propaganda, being generally as pro-California being awesome as you can get. Now is a... I don't know... Guy...? Probably sells things on the side. Let's say a local politician that lots of people know and like. He doesn't do TOO much because... You know... Anarchy, but he's charismatic and whatever and acts like a local organizer?
Starting Group: The Family
Survivors Ties:

• Name of Group Survivor - Which Group Survivors In - Description

Starting Equipment: Few sets of clothes, some *insert currency here*, common handgun and ammunition, ray bands, one set of nice clothes and shoes, basic hygiene products (toothbrush, baking soda, etc.) In addition to other obvious things I'm missing because I can't possibly think of because I'm not in his situation. He isn't poor at all, and is generous with giving things out.
RP Example: I'll list some of my proudest works. On mobile so links would be a pain to do though. History of Man/Nations/Empires, 1000 AD RP, Civilization Domination, New Civilizations, New Imperialism I & II, 1850: The White Man's Burden, After the Great War III & IV, basically every major RP that went through every iteration of the Historical RP Group HQ I have sort of been in.



Personality: Really an ambitious yet nice guy. Grew up wanting to see California be the strongest state/country(if it came to that), loving San Francisco, loving the hills and fog and especially that sexy-ass Bay right there. Knows the region inside and out. Knows its weaknesses and strengths better than 90% of people. The End happened when he was fifteen, and he did his best to organize factions and such. Being a teenager he was at a disadvantage. Eventually decided he would work with what others had made, and be the most powerful man in California by using the factions and nations formed since. He's generous and kind and friendly and loves to talk and rap and write and, for the last fifteen years, work. He will gladly let you borrow some money or food or feed you if you're homeless. But, nonetheless, does have his ambitions permanently in mind.
Character Quest: Use extensive knowledge of country-running things and love for learning and great people skills to be elected into highest possible office in the California Union. Then... Well we'll what happens. Also, WRITE ALL THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ESSAYS
Moral Alignment: Lawful Good. Even with his ambitions, he has the best interests of everyone in mind. He knows that the style of government the CU is building cannot stand against her enemies. And he would rather die than have California ruled by outsiders AGAIN, after we received this wonderful chance. Also what he writes his essays about.
Bio: Sort of explained in personality.
Theme Song: Just walking around to this and, of course, this

Still alive

Are there domesticated animals akin to horses, or better yet do horses still exist in this setting?

There's the boarse.

WOW I was toasted, that said, a Boarse doesn't seem to fit with what I had in mind and riding a giant scorpion seems....odd for what I had in mind.

Edit: To clarify, I was thinking someone focused on horse-back archery/scouting, not very valuable in san 'fran itself, but helpful once we left the city.

Still waiting

Here;s the thing. We're still waiting for Tri and it is the christmas season so it's understandable if he can't get away to post.

Well I'd rather not sling another character into the mix as it stands, maybe once things get moving i'll work on refining that character a bit more.

That said, I'm trying to get back into Int. Incidents (where I first planted my roots in NS), I'll be doing my best to watch for significant updates but if ya'll don't hear from me once we start rolling again, I'd appreciate a TG, just in case I haven't noticed.

That said, I also start classes in a week or so, I likely won't be able to hop on as frequently as I'd like to when that happens.

Yeah. I thought that Christmas would give me time to do stuff. Then my family showed up.

CLEAR *ZAP* BREATHE GODS DAMN YOU, BREATHE!!!

I'm still alive

So am I. Lot of things went down between Christmas and New Years. Too much to do anything here.

Anyone still carrying interest for this thread?

Summoned?

I'm still interested, but my classes started up again today so I'm not going to have nearly as much time to post

Thats fine. Post expectations (specifically length and time involved) will be relaxed for the school season. Give you all with responsibilities some breathing room, so theres no pressure about posting.

I'm actually going to switch up the way I write and format my posts, anticipating my own lack of free time. It might be a little weird at first, so be sure to drop some feedback on how I can make it less so.

Thou has preformed Necromancy and i have been summoned.


I bring tribute of Bacon.




On a separate note, I'm going to be in the field off in on for the next six months so my posting may be sporadic.

yepp, ready and able

I can try .w.

I'll take today to reacquaint myself with the OOC and IC. Check in tonight to the thread, 8:00pm-9:00pm CST -6, for any posts that I make. They will be up by that time.

whelp if Tri's back I can't very well be sitting around!

Homework made me lie. I'll post now, since I have nothing else to do, but entertain you all. Also, I'm dividing my time between this, and helping Arana with an RP he wants to set up. Its just consultation, so don't worry. My attention will be here.
