Wasteland Trail (Sign Ups)

[Mystic_clown]

The year is 356 AC (After Crash). After nuclear war had rendered Earth unhospitable, what was left of humanity was forced to leave the planet on a fleet of ships known as the “Ark Fleet”, in search of a new world in order for them to survive. After centuries of searching, humanity came across a desolate, desert world, now known as “Wasteland”.

Before proper tests could be conducted to see if the planet was suitable, a disaster occurred amongst the Ark Fleet, causing them to crash land on the planet. Most of the population on the fleet was killed, but enough of humanity survived to prevent total extinction of the race. A good deal of humanity’s futuristic technology was lost in the incident, causing technology to revert back to a semi-primitive form, with a few exceptions of course. Despite the harsh terrain, the atmosphere was breathable, and water was found beneath the planet’s surface, allowing humanity to survive on the planet.

Now, three hundred and fifty six years later, mankind spread out across Wasteland, forming small towns and trading ports wherever water could be found. However, now the metaphorical jackpot has been found. Out in the harsh wastes, a gigantic underground reservoir , along with large deposits of minerals, has been discovered. With such resources, the largest city yet on Wasteland can be constructed. The only problem is that the only city with the resources to at least begin settlement, the city of Gemini, is approximately 5000 miles from the area. Billionaire philanthropist, Michael Anderson, has put together an expedition in order to travel to and settle the area.

This is the story of that expedition.

----------------------------------

Ok, some quick information before we get underway. Basically, this is about a caravan travelling across an unhospitable desert planet. Picture a cross between Oregon Trail and Trigun. For the level of technology, for the most part, the caravan will be made up of carts made from scrap metal, pulled by large quadrupeds native to Wasteland known as Tolsons. While there are some examples of higher technology, such as cybernetics and engines, such examples are very rare. Again, look at Trigun for a very good example of the level of technology Wasteland has.

Im joining, I just need to think of a char, Im creatively blanking right now ^-^()

[Crystal Tears]

Name: Chloe McKoy
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Appearance: Standing at 5’7’’, Chloe has long black hair tied back into a loose ponytail and skin that has been tanned from long exposure to the sun. She has a lithe, athletic build due to the time she spends scalling walls, or running long distances. She can usually be seen in a brightly-coloured tee, often a red one, with a black tub-top underneath, and her pants are usually some form of form-fitting cargo pants or torn jeans. She has a leather holsters for her pistols, one strapped onto her back, and the other on her thigh. Her boots aren’t meant for extreme hiking, so they’re not overally clunky or heavy, built more for speed. One of them hides her small switch-blade, used as a last resort against enemies.
Personality: Chloe is selfish (in the since where her own self-preservation overrides everyone else's), independent and normally doesn’t expect kindness at face value. She’s motivated to look out for herself, and those at the time who benefit her in some way. She has a snarky, slightly uppity attitude and is actually quite the flirt to the opposite sex. She often lies and cheats to get her way, and makes a note to never fully trust anyone. Chloe plays people, exceeding in being manipulative, cunning and overall quite the charismatic, if ill-motivated person.
Weapon(s): Two small firearms, her main weapon is a pistol closely linked to the M9, the secondary is a smaller pistol resembling the .45 Defender, and her third and rarely used tertiary weapon is a small switchblade hidden in her boot.
History: Growing with no real adults to call parents, Chloe became very independent and capable early on. This also painted her view on the world around her. She grew up on a moving, mining-caravan that would literally drag a drill and pump around it, harvesting water from below the desert wastes. Everyone around her was self-serving, and anyone not strong enough to survive, was left behind for the wastes to claim. She’s watched many who she called friends be abandoned to the dusts, and sees nothing wrong with this. It’s how she grew up and survived.
Relationships:
Other: She has a remarkable grasp on how things work, having worked on the mining-caravan before she split to try her luck as a swindler and a smuggler. Though she lacks the formal knowledge of everything’s proper name, she can figure out why the ‘do-hicky’ isn’t hooking into the ‘whatchamacallit’ and fix it accordingly. Of course she doesn’t advertise this talent, only using it when she must to get the ball rolling again. Her knowledge also extends to firearms, she can often fix them, and can usually be seen cleaning and repairing her own, or making her own bullets. She has extra clips obviously for her guns, and stores them everywhere she can for convenience… Though sometimes people find them, and are a bit confused on why there’s a clip stored in such and such area of the caravans.

[Master Rudy]

Put me down as potentially signing up. Despite being an absolutely awesome idea I don't want to say I'm 100% commited to joining this as I've been busy with work/life and have been using the little free time I have for either hanging with friends, XBL or WoW (not to mention DBSU once that gets moving again).
