If not, I have a character idea based around a Smuggler.

We have a strict rule against factions, but two or three fleshed-out characters is likely to get accepted.

Currently, everyone is at Salida, Colorado, but we are likely to start moving out of state.
I want to improve.

Long story short, bad experience with factions so limit yourself to one or a couple main characters. This is a Character RP as it is. Yes, we are always open, and likely will start heading out of state soon enough. I do ask that you start somewhere within Colorado (or wherever the majority is) if only so you will actually matter to some plotline.

And yes, Salida is the defacto capital of the RP right now.

Grestin, having the first shot at dictating Vulture behavior, set the entire situation as a mire for both side. The Vultures have yet to effectively clear the mine field much less breach the wall. If you wanna take some shots and a Vulture blows up, then by all means, but don't ignore everyone else.

Also, only a few people know about Fairview and the Walking Men's involvement. Unless Cerberus was there and/or already knew the Walking Men in some close capacity then this is a minor case of Metagaming.

As far as Fairview is concerned, you ruined an important plot twist. If you want me to edit the conflicting post to explain how the small group of Vultures that breached the walls managed to get past the minefield, I will immediately make the changes.


The subplot of the Walking Men and their misadventures with the Order is the subplot of I and PLW (so I'm pretty much free to do something so minor as tell Cerberus about it.) If Cerberus does in fact know about the Walking Men, he would have already known about Fairview. It's already been ruined by telling Cain/Richard, and it's becomes more likely (if only a little) every minute than not that someone who knows who they are sees them.

Well, at the moment there's a pretty huge siege going on that's leading into more plot developments.

For the sake of introductions, you could try and start out a little ways away from Salida and work your way there. That would give you enough time to flesh your character out and arrive for the new plot changes.


Out of the ideas suggested (and I'm not throwing them off as bad ideas) this probably sounds easier to do.
The others just feel a bit too awkward for me to do. Like, it feels weird at the point we're at, plus the fact I'm not confident I can pull it off, add in the fact my guy doesn't enjoy mass gatherings of people.

Could have him drawn towards the aftermath. Don't think the siege is gonna last too long.

Probably might have him do that. Like, my current idea for him to just have him hanging around nearby just watching as the siege goes down.

Well, folks; I'll be posting the grandiose, soap opera-esque return of two characters from the beginnings of No Man's Land. The first character, Wolfgang Magnusson, is my own. For those of you who don't know of him - he's a gas mask wearing, (overcompensated) gun wielding, six-foot-five berserker. The second is none other than Kazirstan's own fiery-haired Slovenian huntress, who does a pretty bang-up job of tracking and murdering her prey in a swift and grisly fashion.

In the words of Robert Downy, Jr: It's good to be back.

Oh, please! One of them has minor sociopathy, and the other just cares too damn much - although, do have fun figuring out which is which.

Actually, it may be fairly obvious.

Umm, sorry to be interrupting again. But what is recommended as a character type. I mean, history and what not.

Also, what is the settlement situation on the West Coast or the East Coast.
