The Prison <OOC|Open|Interest>

Postby Shadyrya » Sun Sep 23, 2012 10:41 am

The Prison has forever been there. None know how, nor why, but it is a constant in the lives of all living in Luthania. A blemish to some, a masterpiece to others, the only fact about this prison is that no one goes in, and none come out. It is said that the Prison wastes nothing, makes new lifeforms with the flesh of old. They say that some are born halflings, part natural and part artificial. It is said that those who are whole pride themselves, that they make others bend to their will in the Prison. Like with all legends, there is some truth.

Different groups war with each other inside, vying for control over the rare farms, precious minerals and advanced weapons scattered throughout the hell that is the Prison. As some gain ground, others lose it and the cycle repeats. Lives are lost, things are destroyed and men are made-this is what everyone lives with. Yet some hold impossible hopes.

A group of some three dozen has recently began to foster the hope of Escape, calling themselves the Followers of the Impossible. No such thing is held on record, and even if it were, no one knows where to even begin. Yet these few men and women pride their beliefs like a cult, and dozens desert larger groups to follow Atticus Flatt, the leader of this mysterious organization. But the group has started to go too far. Killing helpless people for supplies on their impossible quest, enslaving those who they do not do away with, and stealing from the people who earn their keep. Quickly growing in power, the group seems to be rising up. However, others spit on them, ridiculing their beliefs.

Tech: Often using homemade guns with homemade bullets, the cult has mostly crude technology. Some stolen plasma weapons, as well as a train with seven cars belong to the men and women of this new organization, but often this is not so. They rely on the land and have little electricity.


The Elder Army, often known as the Peacekeepers for their fairness, kindness and support of a more civilized Prison, has taken to attacking this ever-growing group for their crimes. They have long since abandoned such a hope and instead seek to make the Prison a better place and are doing quite well. Controlling a sizable amount of land with a striking thirty-two farms-double that of any other- they are seen by many as a great power. Some others disagree.he

Tech: Often using bullets encased with plasma, the Peacekeepers have superior technology. Trains, rudimentary cars and wagons are often used. Controlling much of the electricity the Prison provides, their territory is often lit and water flows freely.


The Patripa, a group of criminals doing anything in their power for wealth, use their effective gorilla tactics on the larger Elder Army and are stripping land slowly but steadily from the Peacekeepers. Despite having inferior weaponry, they often take members and give them trials by fire-no luxury is afforded by the Patripa.

Tech: Mostly stolen things from the Peacekeepers, they also build crude guns and use melee weapons much more often than the other groups. Some electricity is provided to them, but it is reserved for the higher ranked.


Often ridiculed for being half man, half robot, these artificial limbs are often tougher and sometimes worth the ridicule.


Born of pure new flesh, not at all recycled, these people are often revered as gods by some.

NAME: Atticus Flatt
GENDER: M
AGE: 48
APPEARANCE(Picture preferred, not necessary):
http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/edma/edma0908/edma090800061/5313540-portrait-of-middle-aged-man-by-sunset.jpg
ALIGNMENT(The Elder Army, Followers of the Impossible, Patripa): Followers of the Impossible
PROFESSION: Leader of the Followers
EXPERTISE(1-3):

Charisma: Atticus is charming beyond belief, part of the reason he has new recruits.

Swordsman: Atticus is a wonder with the sword, having bested Serena Lathelyn with a blade.

WEAKNESSES(One for every expertise):

Insane: Atticus will do literally anything for his cause, from backroom politics to baby murder.

Overconfident: Atticus is completely sure he will escape, or generally completely sure of anything he does.
WEAPONRY(Keep it realistic to your group and profession): A plasma encased blade with a sheath able to withstand that.
BIOGRAPHY(1-5 paragraph or longer):

Atticus is one of the few naturally born men left in the Prison, being the son of a high-ranking Peacekeeper and his wife. Atticus was taught values such as honor, bravery and honesty from a young age. However, his grandfather filled his head with tales of Escape, and Atticus began to believe them. Fervently. Stealing his father's plasma sword-worth a whole farm- he vanished from the outpost.

Convincing three men of lower standing in the Patripa that they could escape, he started his following. However, this angered Selene-the leader of the Patripa- and she dueled him. When this resulted in her being at his mercy, she did something none ever thought she would do; beg. Being merciful, Atticus released her and journeyed off with the three.

Quickly recruiting by conducting raids and being very Mormon-like, Atticus soon had a following of people who were almost as insane as he. Earning a fierce reputation-especially with the Patripa- he was soon hounded after by many. They seemed to be like mist, always vanishing as trouble dawned. As of now, Atticus and his men and women are attempting to gather supplies for their search of an exit.
RP SAMPLE(If none, write a paragraph or two): Mother fucker I'm OPsome!


NAME:Serena Lathelyn
GENDER: F
AGE: 27
APPEARANCE(Picture preferred, not necessary): Wearing black, ragged clothes with a metal watch on her right wrist. Black hair is up in a bun, angular features. Ice blue eyes, often looks in contempt.
ALIGNMENT(The Elder Army, Followers of the Impossible, Patripa): Patripa
PROFESSION: Leader of Patripa
EXPERTISE(1-3):

Sword-woman: Quite adept with a blade, few have bested her.

Biting Wit: Serena can make any feel bad about themselves with her sharp tongue.

Tactical: Serena is an expert combat planner, often outsmarting Elder Army leaders with ease.
WEAKNESSES(One for every expertise):

Disliked: Her tongue has earned her general dislike among the Patripa.

Wanted: Both the Elder Army and the majority of the Followers want to skin her alive.

Half-blind: Due to the fact that she needs glasses, but does not have them, she can not see very well.
WEAPONRY(Keep it realistic to your group and profession): A plasma-edged blade, a small gun with ten plasma bullets.
BIOGRAPHY(1-5 paragraph or longer): Serena is a Halfling, though few know this; two of her fingers are artificial. Not letting such a thing(which she sees as ridiculous) get in her way, she quickly rose in power among the Patripa. Despite her impaired eyesight, she became a master with the blade. One day, she issued a challenge to the leader of the Patripa; a fight to the death, the victor would be leader.

She won with little difficulty, becoming the capable new leader. She quickly made the Patripa harsher and stricter, which greatly improved military prowess but lowered morale immensely. Now she wages her war, sure of victory.
RP SAMPLE(If none, write a paragraph or two): Motherfucker I'm OPsome!

NAME: Ariana Parker
GENDER: F
AGE: 22
APPEARANCE(Picture preferred, not necessary):
Image

ALIGNMENT(The Elder Army, Followers of the Impossible, Patripa): Patripa
PROFESSION: Um...mechanic.
EXPERTISE(1-3): Mechanicing? :lol2: Plus...hmm...manipulating electronics. And working with explosives.
WEAKNESSES(One for every expertise): ...Umm.....I can't really think of a weakness for those..... Narcoleptic. Addicted to meth to compensate. Also suffers from borderline personality disorder, see biography.
WEAPONRY(Keep it realistic to your group and profession): Wrench, and jumper cables. RDX, if she can get it; some other explosive, if not.
BIOGRAPHY(1-5 paragraph or longer): I'll figure something out later. Headed out soon. Ariana's early life was the stuff of nightmares for any Social Services worker.

As a teenager, she had enough, and went full Lizzie Borden on the two of them. She harbors a distrust of authority figures and a hatred of men as a result, and will be as far removed from people as she can get.
RP SAMPLE(If none, write a paragraph or two): What's an RP?

Well, possibly. I would like to wait to appoint one, if you do not mind, though you're one of my top candidates.

Here goes. For the record, before you shout your head off at the bonuses, look at the weaknesses.

NAME: Arcanus Mecharius.
GENDER: Male
AGE: 26
APPEARANCE: White skin, blue eyes, and hair dyed so that it looks almost on fire. Wears a long coat, brown on the outside and blue on the inside. He wears a cyan half-mask, which is set in a constantly angry expression. His trousers are made of leather, as is his coat, and like it they are blue inside and brown out.
ALIGNMENT: Followers of the impossible.
PROFESSION: Mechanic
EXPERTISE:
Doom bringer: Arcanus' sword is very high-tech stuff, stolen from a high-ranking prison guard, and legend tells of a daemon housed within. It can cut through just about any armour, and burn flesh.

The power of the machine: Arcanus has great technological knowledge, and can make weapons, explosives, communication devices and even light vehicles from what would otherwise be considered scrap.

Unholy might: Arcanus hides under his coat a strictly illegal "Inferno Engine", one of the artefacts of an underground war which officially never happened. It allows him to shrug off low-power plasma rounds, and survive anything up to and including a battle cannon. It also augments his physical abilities, allowing him to use a greatsword and shotgun. Finally, his natural healing is greater than normal.
WEAKNESSES(One for every expertise):
I stand alone!: Arcanus operates separately from everyone else, even other Followers of the Impossible. This means that he must rely on his own talents, and cannot effectively cover his weaknesses.

I am invincible!: Arcanus has a firm belief that the Inferno Engine, along with no end of basic physical prowess, are enough to allow him to do almost anything. Arcanus will flat-out refuse to retreat except in the most blindingly obviously impossible situations.

Infernal link: Arcanus is nigh-irrevocably attached to the Inferno engine. Unless he limits himself to the most basic of activities for a week beforehand, the destruction or removal of the Inferno engine will instantly obliterate Arcanus.
WEAPONRY: Doom bringer and a shotgun. It has three kinds of shot which can be put in it in it: Solid shot, scatter shot and blast shot. Solid shot is just normal bullets. Scatter shots are tiny pellets compacted into full-size bullets, which release a spray in the target's vague direction on firing. Blast shots are mini-explosives, but have a severely diminished range - which is a serious consideration on a shotgun.

He also carries almost enough makeshift explosives to knock a stone house down, assuming that they all work properly.
BIOGRAPHY(1-5 paragraph or longer): Arcanus was one of the original manufacturers of the Inferno engines, during a major coup on massive proportions, ironically about the prison itself. Upon being sent to the prison, all of the Inferno engines in the group's possession were taken, along with the weapons they produced.

Outraged, Arcanus built a cannon to blast through the store room, before grabbing all he could carry and beating a very swift retreat. None could possibly surpass him; they were not even fit to lick his boots!

When he found out about the "Followers of the impossible" and their repeated failures, he vowed to succeed where they had failed. For he was Arcanus Mecharius, and he would defeat those who opposed his will!
RP SAMPLE: *Fires UNR passes out of a shruiken cannon*

Damn right.

Atticus and Arcanus will clash a lot; Atticus is a control freak, and if Arc won't listen to orders, he won't be very happy.

Also, can you/me advertise this in the UNR?

It's what it's there for.

Also, you should probably make your own apps. Otherwise I'll attack you with Doom Bringer and an Inferno engine.

Click the "character creation outline" button on the left hand side, and it will tell you pretty much everything you need to know. Ask in the thread if you need to know something else.
