Uhhh, lemme think. Water and medicine rations (not technically approved for distribution but the paperwork's forged correct), plus a shipment of compact solar generators.

Your APP is accepted.

Fantastic!

Definitely curious about this. I'll see about checking in on this more tonight after work is finished.

NAME: Luna Callahan

SEX: Female

AGE: 24

IMAGE/DESCRIPTION: Around 6' 3", on the slim side but not necessarily lacking in muscle definition. She has highly freckled, fair skin, and long, straight, red-brown hair usually kept in a ponytail. She has an oval face with prominent cheekbones, green eyes, a straight nose, and medium-full lips. Most of her wardrobe is men's clothes -- various random graphic t-shirts, jeans, short socks, a few flannel shirts for cold weather, her prized leather work gloves, and her comfy hiking boots.

SKILLS/WEAKNESSES: Highly knowledgeable in repair, maintenance, and development of machines of all sorts, incredibly resourceful and creative, has general anxiety disorder

REASON/ROLE IN CONVOY: Driver, Mechanic, Seeking safe passage to the west coast

GEAR/BELONGINGS: S&W 44 magnum revolver, Ruger 44 carbine, 2 person tent and assorted camping, first aid, and cooking supplies in a large internal frame backpack, assorted auto repair manuals (1972 - 2057), 7 tool boxes divided into firearms, electrical, carpentry, electronics, and automotive (x3), 250 rounds .44 magnum, notebook and pencils, assorted clothes items.

BIOGRAPHY: Originally from the middle of nowhere in northern Indiana, Luna was born into and raised by a very handy family, always finding fixes for household items and new projects to take on. Her childhood was filled with little electrical and mechanical projects of all kinds and she planned to attend MIT and work in automotive engineering. Obviously her schooling was cut short her sophomore year, but as her dad managed to make a new living for himself bringing people's cars and other devices back to life, she gained even more experience, eventually taking on the half completed vista cruiser restomod her dad had given up on when she was born. Their tiny town managed to stay together as a community for about 9 years after the apocalypse, collapsing on itself around when the supply trucks from Chicago to Indianapolis had finally stopped passing through. Luckily her car had been complete for a couple of months and she managed to pack up what she could to leave in the night, tired of fighting with her family over how long they could stay. As her 455 cubic inch V8 stretched its legs and roared its way down the highway, she headed south to Indianapolis where she camped for a couple of weeks, then west to St. Louis in search of a new home. Pre-apocalypse she had dreamed of living on the west coast, far removed from the endless fields and empty highways of her home town. As she drove further into the endless fields of the midwest, her longing only grew stronger. At this point, preparing to leave St. Louis for Boise, the dream is still strong and if she can survive this journey, Seattle, and maybe even Canada will be within reach.

VEHICLE TYPE: Car, Station Wagon

MODEL: 1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

FUEL SOURCE: Ethanol/Methanol -- the tank is in the standard place under the rear of the car and for the trip, 2 12 gallon marine fuel tanks have been strapped to the roof rack. The flex fuel sensor permits a variety of alcohol biofuel blends.

ROLE IN CONVOY: Light cargo/mobile service/a place to sleep?

MODIFICATIONS: Electronic fuel injection conversion, modern ecu conversion (for fuel and timing management), hotter —higher lift, shorter duration— cams, stiffer valve springs, lightened billet rotating assembly, lowered deck, hardened valve seats, higher compression heads, tremec tr6070 7 speed transaxle conversion, transmission cooler, flex fuel sensor, high pressure water cooling system, full tubular exhaust, muffler delete, rear gear for towing, vented and slotted disk brakes, and adjustable coilovers. --> 755 hp @ 7400 rpm/ 715 ft-lbs @ 4600 rpm, 6,000 lb towing capacity partially taken up by the 18 foot camper she found and decided to take along for extra storage and to have a home.

This looks fairly interesting, don't know if I'll have the time or more importantly the ability to focus for it though.

NAME: Marcus Brix
SEX: Male
AGE: 27
IMAGE/DESCRIPTION: Mostly average and easy to forget, clean shaven with a short but unruly mess of dark blonde, nearly brunette hair. His build isn't very big or small but simple and lean. Has a slightly slim face and shallowly set almost circular green eyes.
SKILLS/WEAKNESSES: Skilled marksman, high stamina, handles difficulty well from conflicting personalities to hard to please employers or senseless orders./Passive to a fault of not sticking up for himself, doesn't engage in typical vices(drinking, nicotine, drugs) and so to deal with the stress of life and jobs he sometimes will space out and perform random(often repetitive or borderline self-harming) actions or tasks. Dislikes engaging in close quarters because he feels it is more 'dangerous'. Could be considered a coward, willing to let an opportunity to finish something pass if a safer but more difficult or less effective way could present itself later.
REASON/ROLE IN CONVOY: Security/Transport
GEAR/BELONGINGS: Zastava M93 Black Arrow rifle. Model 605 Taurus revolver. Mora utility knife. Dust goggles. Scarf.
BIOGRAPHY: A young man on the verge of adulthood when everything fell apart, adjusting to life after was difficult for Marcus. He did what he could to help his family, taking odd jobs that increased in difficulty, pay, and heinousness as time went on and he lost relatives to violence or disease. Eventually all that was left was him and his longtime girlfriend Maria, someone he was with even before the disaster happened. He never enjoyed the work but showed himself as very capable and willing to do any task that paid well. His ability, lack of ethics, and ease to work with gained him a notable reputation. Despite this, he and Maria have had to abort several pregnancies over the years due to lack of ability to care for a child in such a world but upon finding out about the latest one he hopes to have stockpiled almost enough ration cards and supplies, making a last push for a lucrative job and found it when his current employer shoved a briefcase into his hands and asked for it to be delivered to Boise without explanation of what was in it.

VEHICLE TYPE: Car
MODEL: 1998 Ford Mustang GT
FUEL SOURCE: Solar(mounted on top of vehicle) as well as a biofuel backup where the usual gas tank would be.
ROLE IN CONVOY: Security
MODIFICATIONS: The Mustang is essentially only a Mustang in chassis now, the insides having been gutted over the years to become a mishmash of off-road suitable parts. Has taken away some of its former performance but is now completely reliable away from highways if need be.

Oh dang, I hadn't really realized the RP had started. I'll try to come up with an app soon. Given that I'm a nerd about cars coming up with a creative vehicle shouldn't be hard at least.

[Westeastern Dicantia]

I’ll have a post in a couple hours. Sorry about the wait

So for things like ammunition, can we already have some on our person or do we have to buy all of it? Additionally, is there still some semblance of the Federal and State governments, such as military or civil authorities?

[Foxfound]

I know I mentioned being interested in this but I've been having writers' block lately. In the event I do come up with a good idea for a character has the actual journey started yet?

[Brettenwald]

Nope. It starts in like three, three and a half IC hours IIRC.

Yes, you can have some ammunition on your person. As for your other question, somebody has to print out the Ration Cards, make sure the Ration Cards are legit, protect the cities from bandits, and enforce the law.

NAME:Alden Stewart
SEX: Male
AGE:26
IMAGE/DESCRIPTION: Image
SKILLS/WEAKNESSES: He is very capable with brawling, more in that he can take a hell of a beating before he goes down for good. He is also rather skilled with a rifle and tracking from years hunting while and has grown very skilled with a small handaxe/hatchet over the last few years. He has a bit of an inferiority complex, mostly with those physically stronger than himself due to abuse as a child. He grows frustrated and even verbally hostile toward others that fit that mold.
REASON/ROLE IN CONVOY: Security/food supply he is actually somewhat well known for his hunting and tracking also looking to start a new life.
GEAR/BELONGINGS: Winchester Model 70 rifle with a Leupold VX-R 3-9x40mm Riflescope. A small handaxe/hatchet with a backspike. Various camping supplies. A personal letter from his mother from his childhood.
BIOGRAPHY: Alden's early childhood is considered his best memories. When his parents were married and they were both happy and loving. Sadly around the time Alden joined elementary school his mother became sick and his father began to drink. As his mother's condition worsened and she was forced to stay in the hospital his father's personality took a turn for the worst. Becoming a full fledged drunk the man got rid of his stress through gambling and whores driving a wedge between his parents causing them to fight almost every time the saw one another. Things got worse when Alden's father got a woman he had an affair with pregnant and chose to leave Alden and his mother for her. With his mother passing away a year later Alden was forced to return to live with his father and new stepmother both of whom treated him poorly and both of whom were alcoholics, and in his step-mother's case a drug addict as well.

Growing up in a rural community there were few avenues for Alden to escape his trouble at home, however he soon found a love for hunting with family friends and dove headfirst into the activity becoming a bit of hobby nut when it came to deer hunting and later other animals as well. While things with his father and step-mother were hard Alden got along swimmingly with his half-sister. Taking her with him on hunting trips or camping trips any time he could, just to keep her away from their parents who were increasingly abusive whether emotionally or physically. When the world pretty much ended Alden found it an odd relief. While he misses the ease of life for most things, one thing he doesn't miss at all is home. Having taken Sarah at the first opportunity and booked it for the country for the first couple years before making their way to St. Louis. Since then Alden has largely provided for himself and his sister by taking odd jobs as security, bounty hunter, or just a normal hunter with his sister selling the goods he brought in for him.

Sadly that doesn't quite always make ends meet, and with small time thugs encroaching on their home in St. Louis and their problems considered too small by authority the siblings have decided to strike out for a new home out west.

NAME:Sarah Wiley
SEX: Female
AGE:19

SKILLS/WEAKNESSES: Like her half-brother Sarah is skilled in hunting and tracking having learned from a young age from him. She however also has much greater people skills than he does and has taken over the business side of their work making them far better profits. That being said she is a suspicious person by nature and a bit of a judgmental individual, rarely giving others more than one opportunity to
REASON/ROLE IN CONVOY: mainly to start a new life in Boise but also as additional security and another tracker/hunter
GEAR/BELONGINGS: Savage 110 ultralite rifle with Swarovski Z5 3.5-18x44 scope, a Bersa Thunder 9 handgun, utility knives and a long sheath knife. Various camping supplies.
BIOGRAPHY:Growing up in the Stewart Wiley family was for lack of a better term hard. Due completely to Sarah and Alden's parents. As much as she hates to admit it, Sarah is thankful her parents are gone so not to trouble her brother and herself any longer. By this point Sarah has spent more of her life in the 'post-apocalypse' than before it and has adapted well. Those who don't typically don't survive after all. Between the hunting and camping she and her brother used to survive early on, and her growing skill as business and haggling Sarah is practically built for this world and she knows it. Not afraid to get her hands dirty or play by her own rules Sarah has prodded her brother into uprooting from St. Louis before their newest set of neighbors smelled blood. She recognizes predators when she sees them and isn't inclined to give anyone beyond her closest friends and family the benefit of the doubt.

VERY WIP, will try to fill in the rest of the details later today.

NAME: Josiah Callahan
SEX: Male
AGE:49
IMAGE/DESCRIPTION:
SKILLS/WEAKNESSES: Gunsmithing/modification, shooting, emergency medicine/first aid
REASON/ROLE IN CONVOY: Security, first aid, some cargo hauling
GEAR/BELONGINGS: Colt Monitor automatic with spare mag. 120 rounds of .30-06 Springfield, 40 of which are in the two mags for the Colt Monitor.
BIOGRAPHY: Born in a small town in the mountains of Colorado, Josiah Callahan grew up in a military family, with his father often away on active duty. When his father was home, however, they had a close bond, with the senior Callahan taking his son on hikes in the unspoiled Rocky Mountains and teaching him to fish, to ski, to drive - and to shoot. With his family's military history going back to the Civil War, there was an unspoken expectation that he would follow in his father's footsteps, but the young Josiah had taken an interest in medicine. In the end, his desire to aid the injured and sick and his admiration for his father's service led him to pursue both paths, becoming a combat medic in the US Army. Though ostensibly in a non-combat role, the realities of modern warfare meant that Josiah more often than not carried a rifle, and he excelled. At the age of 28, after 8 years of service, he received an honorable discharge. Following his discharge Josiah pursued a career as a paramedic. When the plague came he became part of a Disaster Medical Assistance Team for FEMA. Though there was often little they could do for victims of the plague, Josiah's medical expertise proved indispensable. As things grew more desperate Josiah often found himself using his other training, that in firearms, just as much as his medical training. Eventually orders stopped coming in, and some time after that other members of his team started becoming sick. Eventually, Callahan was the only one left. As time went on after this he ended up mostly guarding caravans traveling between what was left of America's cities, providing both protection and medical assistance. Though technically a mercenary - his services aren't free - Josiah isn't really in it for himself and won't take off running when a typical mercenary or guard would leave their charge to their fate. In a way, Josiah doesn't consider his responsibilities as a paramedic to have ended; he's just meeting them in a different way. Mostly moving where the caravans took him, he has ended up mostly in the east for the past few years, and looks forward to getting back out west. Armed with the truck he received from his father and his great-grandfather's fighting rifle, he hopes to be able to serve this latest caravan well.
Josiah has a fascination with the history and mechanics of firearms, largely thanks to his father, and is able to modify existing weapons in both usual and creative ways.

VEHICLE TYPE: truck
MODEL: 1968 M724 Kaiser Jeep dump truck
FUEL SOURCE: Biofuel
ROLE IN CONVOY: cargo, security
MODIFICATIONS: The venerable inline 6 engine the truck was built with was replaced years ago with a more powerful biofuel V6, boosting its top speed from 55 miles per hour to around 75. Most of the undercarriage and other more mechanical parts have been replaced at one time or another with better-condition stock parts. The hydraulic dump bed was probably added sometime in the previous century. Also of note is a winch on the front of the truck.
Less essential modifications include an AM/FM radio and a cb radio in the interior. The truck also just got a fresh set of tires.

This seems like a very interesting RP. I might join it sometime.
