I think we can make room for another. As long as you're a competent writer and not planning to argue needlessly then welcome.

I expect that we could work you in fairly easily, given the setting. It was closed because we had a bunch of applicants at the beginning, but a lot of them have dropped, so Grestin might let you in.

If you do decide to apply, for god's sake, read the OP. One thing we require is a fleshy, detailed bio, and one thing we're not taking right now is any character with a military background. But of course Grestin will be the final judge.

Here are my contributions to the OST contest:

Anno 2070 OST - Desolation Waltz
Trivium - Until The World Goes Cold
Gazelle Twin - I Am Shell I Am Bone
Milita Dae - Tenebrae
Pearl Jam - Do the Evolution

Most of these, minus the 1st, I think would be better for individual chapter but they could all theoretically work.

I wish I had a 3DS right now. I find Linkle very . . . interesting. She's got two crossbows. Tomorrow, Hyrule Warrior Legends goes out 3DS with four NEW characters as well as all of the DLC and standard for Wii U.

I'll make sure he isn't swallowed by some monstrosity. Just waiting for the others in Moapa for now.

I have returned from the depths of study, tests and other boring-as-hell assessment, none of which I'll get the results back for at least 2 weeks. It's also holidays for me

I'll get into catching up on whatever's happened in the IC while I've been less than focused.

Go ahead and take your time. I'm in no rush.

Lengthy post is lengthy.

~~I'll start up the poll for the theme song too.~~

EDIT: Had to cut the list down a bit to save on space. My apologies if one of the ones you suggested didn't make it. Just not enough room for all of them.

I appreciate you at least giving a mention to Hawkins' little reload

Course, I can still take it a bit further...

Name: Damion Turner

Gender: Male

Age: 31

Occupation: Former Marine, ex-military contractor

Appearance:

Equipment:
M4
Beretta M9
KBAR Knife
PMC-Grade Kevlar
Canteen
Tent
Gas mask
Rations

Skills:
Good shot- He qualified as a marksman and can hit most things towards the maximum range of his rifle, when he's sober that is.
Tactical- A nice way of saying he doesn't get into shit that doesn't involve him.
Hand-to-Hand Combat- He passed the Marine's Martial Arts program with flying colors.
Intelligent- He can lead when he needs to, but if he's leading you, you better shut the fuck up and just listen to him.

Weaknesses:
PTSD- He's seen some shit, man.. You weren't there! You don't know what it was like, man!
Heavy Drinker- Ish jush been a few drinksh man, no problemsh.
Blunt- If he doesn't like you, you won't be left wondering. He'll tell you.
Reckless- He doesn't really care anymore, so he can do some dumb stuff.

Personality: Described by most as a "massive dick", he usually scoffs them off, but never really denies it. He takes no bullshit when he's in charge and will not hesitate to rip you three new assholes if you fuck up. He also swears more than a tin can full of submariners at a truck stop.

Biography: Born in 1985 in Mobile, Alabama, Damion was raised by a family with a history of military service in the Marine Corps, his father and uncles having served in the Marines in Vietnam, and both of his grandfathers serving in the Pacific and Korea in the Corps. Damion and his twin brother enlisted in the Marines on their eighteenth birthday, and shipped out to Afghanistan as soon as they finished their tenure in the School of Infantry. He and his twin brother were assigned to separate units, but continued to communicate with each other as they were still very close with each other. However one day Damion learned his brother was killed by an IED, and the ensuing depression led to Damion being medically discharged at the rank of Corporal. Not being able to adjust to civilian life, he joined up with a PMC to stay with the rigors of combat, which he felt at home in. He has never returned home to Mobile, save for once to attend his brother's funeral, but still writes to his parents regularly. Since leaving the PMC, he made his way to Nevada once the Zone was formed, trying his hand at making quite a bit of money despite the dangers of the Zone.

Roleplay Experience: Bruh.

In spite of the whole "no more soldiers" thing, I'm gonna give this a pass, and only because I think you can pull it off.

We've got three main groups at the moment; Moapa, Crossroads and Overton.

Moapa group hasn't been doing much, but Overton is currently raiding a jewelry shop in a city overrun with extra-dimensional jungle.

Crossroads is a little shanty-town where that group is currently taking refuge.

I'll let you choose, simply for the sake of not doing a bunch of stupid "walk to x, do y, see z" posts.

Oh he's fucked up. Don't expect him to go all military badass on anyone.

He's likely to get himself drunk or killed before taking on the whole Zone.

And thankfully, taking on the Zone isn't really the point anyways.

The RP is Heart of Darkness as told by H.P Lovecraft, whom has just taken a massive amount of LSD.

Shooting stuff is really just a temporary solution when a mutated, multi-armed man wants to ravage your genitals.

Sounds like.. Like you just turned on your brain and wrote the first things that came to mind and called it an RP...

But then again, have I come to expect anything else from you?

You can't replicate insanity.

Luckily Grestin is just enough sane to not make me want to alert local authorities to his existence (yet)

I'm not gonna say that wasn't where the idea started, because a lot of this is imagery and ideas I've had stewing since Outbreak.

That said, I actually did create this because I wanted people to have more freedom than a typical RP, just because the overall lore is pretty loose.

It's not like NML where every region of the United States has a government, flag, national anthem and preferred breakfast cereal.

At least it's not the whole "lol I'm so random and my mind is so twisted" kind of 'insane'.
