Harb, is Gamma about the half/hybrid form of animalistic humans or are they animals with sentience?

In other words
Hybrids - not searching up a picture of that, last time I did resulted in some strange results; for this one just picture an anthro animal person
Humanistic Animals
or
Animalistic People

I wouldn't mind taking a slight Fallout spin for my character if you didn't mind. It would be interesting if in this world reclaimed by nature we had a human crawl out of one of the vaults only to find that his family and friends didn't make it and thus come to terms with being the last human alive. It could take a very solemn depressing start and turn cheery as his quest for survival soon takes a turn for the better when he encounters other sentient beings. The large dramatic moment at the end can be him discovering that there are other humans alive and choosing between his now close friends or leaving them to go in pursuit of these other humans, but instead decide to stay with his friends as the true lesson to be learned here is that the characteristics we are born with do not decide how we live our lives.

Gonna type up something for this idea and tack it onto this post here shortly, if you read it before I have then I will likely post the short story in another post.

It all seemed sudden, warning bells chimed and sirens blasted as people rushed for a concrete structure nearby. The sky was a lovely blue hue and inside a quaint home sat a young woman in her early twenties looking at a magazine upon a red couch sitting within a living room area. "Hey, Robbie," her amazing auburn hair fluttered as she turned to face the kitchen across the open area between the two rooms, the lass' emerald eyes stared down her husband with devious intent, "this magazine says -"

"Thought we talked about it? Things are just too unstable for it right now. I don't want to change our whole lifestyle so suddenly. Six more months when Amy is older, okay?" The husband, Robert, was only one year younger than his wife, but the difference in them was that he had done two years of military service already and was up for more should they need him.

Forgoing the argument the two fixed dinner, both knew the others reasoning and thus they were caught in the middle of their own choice and the opposition. Robert had Amelia in his lap and was feeding the toddler before looking over at Terra, "Maybe moving wouldn't be so bad. It would be a change of pace after all." Terra shook her head, "No, I think you were right, if they call you back here me and Amelia have people who can help us." The couple grinned, now it seemed as though they were playing the devil's advocate to one another.

The television stopped playing soft music and instead switched over to a government siren, it gave instructions to enter the nearest emergency shelter. Robert stood up with Amelia in his arms and grabbed Terra's hand, "We gotta go!" They ran out the door of the house and jumped into the car, Terra secured Amelia into her carseat and the three raced up the road. The nearest emergency shelter was on the outskirts of a nearby city. Upon arrival they were to give their social security numbers and two forms of I.D. to verify citizenship. Robert had just gone through the check with himself and Amelia when he turned to wait for Terra and saw a bright orange glow break the horizon. The doors slammed shut and the last thing Robert ever saw of his wife was her hand reaching towards him as the blast neared ever closer.

"Terra!" His heart sank as Rob sat there holding his infant daughter before two policemen stood him up and began escorting him to another room. He was so out of it that honestly the poor guy did not even take notice of his manhandling. By the time his senses had returned Rob noticed he was in some sort of cylinder, though Amelia was still within his arms. A freezing liquid flashed into the tube as he clutched Amelia tightly.

As if only seconds had passed the liquid began to melt and drain out of the tube and Rob awoke with Amelia in his arms. Looking through the glass window of his tube he saw no movement and decided to pull the handle labeled OPEN which broke the airtight seal and lift the front up. Instantly he saw what had occurred. Faulty wiring had fried and killed power to all the weird tube things except his, the individuals inside had drowned in their sleep. Horrified he left the basement area of the shelter and proceeded to the top where he found supplies. The food and water had spoiled, but the guns, ammunition, and clothing were still in good enough shape. He looted what he could and found a set of Army fatigues in a olive color along with protective equipment consisting of a helmet, vest, knee, and elbow pads of the same color as well as some boots. For Amelia he found some khaki pants and a green shirt originally intended for a boy, but all the other children's clothes were ruined beyond all use. Rob attached a rifle to his vest and put a pistol in the holster on his belt before grabbing a backpack full of various supplies. With Amy in his arms the father set out from the shelter and was surprised at what he found.

Sprawling out before him was a world of overgrowth and fauna of all types. Nature had reclaimed what was hers and it was at this moment that he realized the scope of just what had happened. The world as he had known it was over, mankind was gone, but his shock and awe at the situation quickly faded as Amelia's stomach growled with the roar of a lion, it was still technically dinner time - a long time on pause.


Sorry it is short, got called out for something. Will finish later. Sorry for the names, I will come up with better ones, just figured I would use some names that I have not personally heard in awhile.

Ah, to think over two hundred years ago a small bunch of farmers fought the world's largest army and won. No matter your nationality I think today is a day of hope and remembrance; any idea with pure heart and honest effort can go from a unlikely dream to world changing reality. While igniting the spark that starts a revolution is vastly different than writing stories, both do have the same goal, changing human reality, and thus I think we could learn a lot from those brave farmers.

Happy Fourth of July, guys, whether you say it is Independence or Treason :P
Can't find it now but there was a real funny meme that said The Original Brexit and it was the British forces surrendering to General Washington.

Funny, how when something like the Philippines had an insurgency against the United States of America after the Spanish-American War, it was considered bad. Yup, a day of hope for everyone. :p

I am actually one of those guys that thinks a people should be led by a government of their choice. I will however say that peaceful response is better than armed, it is a neutral topic to me as I do not believe a people should be under a government, but we do have to look at it from both points. The U.S. leaders may have done what they did to ensure the Spanish would not retake the Philippines and thus how we know the Philippines today as a independent nation may have changed to them being a puppet of the Spanish today.
So in the end I see merit with both sides and thus I cannot truly comment as we do not know what each pieces actual intentions were.

Got deleted in a mass purge back in May. I briefly lurked on an old puppet account I created back in 2012, before moving over to this one since people recognised me more easily with it.

Nice, you have all the starches covered but what about the protein? You need some beans in there to balance it.

Well, the Filipinos thanked the Americans for their help, but armed themselves when they wouldn't go out. Since after gaining independence from Spain, they were effectively turned into a territory by the United States. Back at the USA, some wanted to annex the Philippines as a state, but many were against that especially after the insurgency started.

It was a classic scenario of "liberating" an "uncivilized" people from another power. The thing is, America wanted to be seen as a world power, which it did by effectively going against a major power and winning. And at the time, Spain's Naval fleet suffered greatly after their defeat, which further lead the country's nation descent out of being a power it once was. So the likelihood of Spain taking back the Philippines was unlikely, especially since Filipinos were winning in kicking them out before the United States stepped in. While it might have begun with good intentions, the United States became greedy and wanted the territory.

This is the side I come from.

But by all means, I am not saying anything bad against July 4th, it's a great holiday to celebrate. It is special for the United States of America, and allows remembrance of how this nation got to where it is right now, whether it be good or bad. (Also, if you're thinking if I'm hating on America, don't worry, I have beef with a lot of countries and other things. I.E. Japan, China [They can back the fuck off in the Philippine Sea], Germany, Russia, England, France, and etc..)


It took me a while to get it, but now I understand it's suppose to play-off Space Battleship Yamato....... I think.

I'm sure we wouldn't have problems with China if President Quirino had agreed with the US proposal to turn the Philippines into a state. It's not like our freedom would've been taken away anyways. But eh, it's too late for my objection now.

I think I have to disagree there, the one thing that stops foreign powers from harming Hawaii, I say it as it is the only other island state, is the fact that it has housed and will continue to house a U.S. Navy Fleet with attached Marine assets as well as Air Force and Army units for both defensive and offensive purposes. Had the Philippines become a state back in the late 1800's to early 1900's we would have seen by the cold war a force assault the Philippines and even now the terrorism that takes place there would be magnified as we live in a world where "the bad guys" hate America specifically as we have our hand in a lot of ways that they get their asses kicked, and that would have never changed. So I have to place my cards on it being better for the Philippines to not be a state security wise. In the modern era they would be fine as our naval forces are top shelf to deal with anything, but back when resources were thin it would have gotten a bit sketchy.

Also, Ryn, I getcha, looking back through the pages of history you find pages you don't like; but while I fully understand your meaning and agree with you I also believe we should look deeper at the pages themselves.

So on a funny note I just removed my dog tags, the metal identification tags that are used for medical purposes, to try and extend the life of them as my silencer, a thick rubber band, broke and they are really noisy. That moment when you realize you have worn something for over a year straight XD The chain used to be black to reduce glare and rubbing against my skin as well as my sweat fouled the coating, but no need to fear the corrosion has kept the metal duller than a mallet. Think when I get the new ones here shortly I am going to shoot them, dip 'em in blood, and mail them to my the devil i used to love; would that be too cruel?

I'm saying this more for our sake, actually. xD I know the risks for the US, but didn't say. However it seemed that at the time, America was willing to take the responsibility for the Philippines. It was probably for the territory and natural resources though..

Had the Philippines become a state back in the late 1800's to early 1900's we would have seen by the cold war a force assault the Philippines and even now the terrorism that takes place there would be magnified as we live in a world where "the bad guys" hate America specifically as we have our hand in a lot of ways that they get their asses kicked, and that would have never changed.

In other words
Hybrids - not searching up a picture of that, last time I did resulted in some strange results; for this one just picture an anthro animal person
Humanistic Animals
or
Animalistic People


The 'Humanistic Animals' (as shown in your example of the panther from Jungle Book) and 'Humanoid Animals' as seen below;

Are the most common in Gamma World. However, their are others types. The Mutant Animals have caused a number of OOC discussions in the past; namely when they begin to become too human looking.

One person had asked if, say, an individual that looked like Holo the Wolf, is a Humanoid or Mutant Animal. The Answer is simple; a character like Holo would be a Humanoid possessing either the Shapeshifter or Total Metamorphosis mutation. A character that is human save for cat ears is a Humanoid.

It goes to ancestry- if the ancestors where Human then it's a Humanoid, but the character's ancestor was a Wolf it's Mutant Animal. For example, let's take Holo- Let's say her true for is that of a great Wolf. In that case she is a Mutant Animal with the Shapeshifter mutation allowing her to take on a human like appearance (being Science Fantasy we need not ask why such a mutation would develop.

As for Hybrids- it's believed that Mutant Animals can only reproduce with individuals who share a common ancestry- a Mutant Wolf and Mutant Beagle may have pups because they are both Canines but a Mutant Pig and Mutant Rooster can not no matter how human like both their bodies may be- the genes just don't mix.

I wouldn't mind taking a slight Fallout spin for my character if you didn't mind. It would be interesting if in this world reclaimed by nature we had a human crawl out of one of the vaults only to find that his family and friends didn't make it and thus come to terms with being the last human alive. It could take a very solemn depressing start and turn cheery as his quest for survival soon takes a turn for the better when he encounters other sentient beings. The large dramatic moment at the end can be him discovering that there are other humans alive and choosing between his now close friends or leaving them to go in pursuit of these other humans, but instead decide to stay with his friends as the true lesson to be learned here is that the characteristics we are born with do not decide how we live our lives.

Gonna type up something for this idea and tack it onto this post here shortly, if you read it before I have then I will likely post the short story in another post.

It all seemed sudden, warning bells chimed and sirens blasted as people rushed for a concrete structure nearby. The sky was a lovely blue hue and inside a quaint home sat a young woman in her early twenties looking at a magazine upon a red couch sitting within a living room area. "Hey, Robbie," her amazing auburn hair fluttered as she turned to face the kitchen across the open area between the two rooms, the lass' emerald eyes stared down her husband with devious intent, "this magazine says -"

"Thought we talked about it? Things are just too unstable for it right now. I don't want to change our whole lifestyle so suddenly. Six more months when Amy is older, okay?" The husband, Robert, was only one year younger than his wife, but the difference in them was that he had done two years of military service already and was up for more should they need him.

Forgoing the argument the two fixed dinner, both knew the others reasoning and thus they were caught in the middle of their own choice and the opposition. Robert had Amelia in his lap and was feeding the toddler before looking over at Terra, "Maybe moving wouldn't be so bad. It would be a change of pace after all." Terra shook her head, "No, I think you were right, if they call you back here me and Amelia have people who can help us." The couple grinned, now it seemed as though they were playing the devil's advocate to one another.

The television stopped playing soft music and instead switched over to a government siren, it gave instructions to enter the nearest emergency shelter. Robert stood up with Amelia in his arms and grabbed Terra's hand, "We gotta go!" They ran out the door of the house and jumped into the car, Terra secured Amelia into her carseat and the three raced up the road. The nearest emergency shelter was on the outskirts of a nearby city. Upon arrival they were to give their social security numbers and two forms of I.D. to verify citizenship. Robert had just gone through the check with himself and Amelia when he turned to wait for Terra and saw a bright orange glow break the horizon. The doors slammed shut and the last thing Robert ever saw of his wife was her hand reaching towards him as the blast neared ever closer.

"Terra!" His heart sank as Rob sat there holding his infant daughter before two policemen stood him up and began escorting him to another room. He was so out of it that honestly the poor guy did not even take notice of his manhandling. By the time his senses had returned Rob noticed he was in some sort of cylinder, though Amelia was still within his arms. A freezing liquid flashed into the tube as he clutched Amelia tightly.

As if only seconds had passed the liquid began to melt and drain out of the tube and Rob awoke with Amelia in his arms. Looking through the glass window of his tube he saw no movement and decided to pull the handle labeled OPEN which broke the airtight seal and lift the front up. Instantly he saw what had occurred. Faulty wiring had fried and killed power to all the weird tube things except his, the individuals inside had drowned in their sleep. Horrified he left the basement area of the shelter and proceeded to the top where he found supplies. The food and water had spoiled, but the guns, ammunition, and clothing were still in good enough shape. He looted what he could and found a set of Army fatigues in a olive color along with protective equipment consisting of a helmet, vest, knee, and elbow pads of the same color as well as some boots. For Amelia he found some khaki pants and a green shirt originally intended for a boy, but all the other children's clothes were ruined beyond all use. Rob attached a rifle to his vest and put a pistol in the holster on his belt before grabbing a backpack full of various supplies. With Amy in his arms the father set out from the shelter and was surprised at what he found.

Sprawling out before him was a world of overgrowth and fauna of all types. Nature had reclaimed what was hers and it was at this moment that he realized the scope of just what had happened. The world as he had known it was over, mankind was gone, but his shock and awe at the situation quickly faded as Amelia's stomach growled with the roar of a lion, it was still technically dinner time - a long time on pause.


Sorry it is short, got called out for something. Will finish later. Sorry for the names, I will come up with better ones, just figured I would use some names that I have not personally heard in awhile.


It is possible... you'd be quite the outsider, but the Restorationists (a faction seeking the rebirth of the nations of the old world by restoring lost civilizations) has set up near the Valley. The Restorationist are known to settle close to C.E.E.P.S; but no C.E.E.P is known to the people of the valley- but the Restorationist may know that such exists, and thus why they have settled close to the Valley which before the Social Wars, had been a Park (which was next to a Wild Life Sanctuary, and oddly enough a Medical Research Facility).

This is a CEEP: Link . The CEEP aka Keep is managed by a CI, and stored with various tech three items for use by the occupants. Items that tend to make CEEP a fabled target for raiders (assuming they can find one). But they are so strong that most raiders give up. The CI is also smart enough not to open the CEEP when doing so would put the occupants in peril.

This is the world your character would have been and is living in: Timeline Link

However, playing a Pure Strain Human can be challenging, but amazing too- but in this setting you will be 'the alien', and the world will be just as 'alien' to you as your are to it. Are you willing to take these challenges head on? (Note: Pure Strain Humans can not mutate, but their exposure to the world may cause their children to be born as Humanoids who possess only one mutation).
