Welcome to Runiea,

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Welcome to Runiea,

Welcome to Runiea, the glittering capital of science and engineering, the most modern and thriving city in the world.

The city is dominated by Alpha Enterprises, the first and foremost company in scientific advancement and discovery. No one quite exactly knew what Alpha Enterprises did, outsiders were discouraged from getting a closer look. Anyone who poked their nose too deep where it didn't belong sudden disappeared without a trace.Other, more mysterious things, that no one could explain, constant thuds and unhuman screams, and shipments of things that didn't quite match up.

The people of the city, and the rest of the world, too, did not concern themselves about such rumors. Alpha Enterprises had practically built this glorious city, and they were what made it important. Alpha Enterprises were the future of humanity. No one was going to argue with that. Alpha Enterprises had laid out a red carpet for humanity to the stars as they claimed to be inventing commercial transportation to space. There could have never been a more innovative time in human history.

Until something happened.  

No one was quite sure exactly what it was, it seemed to be a combination of nuclear explostion, wild-fire and earthquake. Alpha Enterprises's main lab had exploded, sending everything within miles into flames, while radioactive materials leaked their way into the air and water. The city was declared unsafe, and everyone was evacuated. No one was supposed to set foot here until at least two hundred years has passed. This grand city seems to have been forgotten by humanity. 

But this place is not dead.  

Alpha Enterprises had been experimenting with genetic engineering, altering the genetic code of nearly every living thing that they could try--humans included, in an attempt to create something new, something powerful.

They never got there. But, oh, did they try.

The streets are now haunted by monsters, failed experiments, genetic nightmares with nowhere else to go. They are ghosts of what Alpha Enterprise wanted for the future, a terrifying looking future. 

About twenty years have passed, and Alpha Enterprises are beginning to rise again. They have come back to Rueniea. They want their experments back, before anyone finds out what they did. They want to keep trying at what they have kept failing: Something powerful. Something to be feared. 

They are coming back for their ghosts. And they will find all of them. 

~~

So! You can be one of said genetic nightmares, or someone working for Alpha Enterprises. Get creative with your character! Make 'em whatever you want, l'm not picky. 

Some notes/rules:

Please remain dedicated to this, don't join then vanish into thin air. 

Two characters at the most.

l'm not picky about how powerful your character is, but if your character is powerful, don't play hero in every conflict and don't win every fight.

My characters:

Name: Nightingale

Age: Young adult--she doesn't know exactly.

 

Appearance: Long blond hair, large dull green that glow faintly. She has large, bat-like ears on the side of her head (She's a bat/human hybrid) and a mouth full of very sharp and jagged teeth that make it hard for her to talk properly. Large black wings that are attached to all along the underside of her arms and her sides, kinda like a bat's. She can fly by spreading her arms. Has retractable claws. She wears a long black leather coat, baggy black pants, and a black sweater, a ruby necklace, and leather gloves.

Nightingale’s eyes are almost completely blind, beyond being able to see light, large objects and motion.

 

Personality: Hateful. Vengeful. A loner, likes to be alone. She never had anyone who loved her, most everyone thinks she's a freak because of the way she looks.. She doesn't understand love or kindness, more than ready to hurt anyone who threatens her. But deep down, she's hurt and kind of lonely, but she'll never tell you that. Careful, more of someone who stays on the sidelines instead of jumping right in, she tends to avoid people.

Skills/powers: Echolocation, can fly, enhanced hearing, and a ultrasonic scream.


Backstory: She was born with a genetic disorder and wasn’t expected to live more than a few years before the disorder killed her. Her parents worked with Alpha, and they saw genetic engineering as the only way to save their child. Alpha promised that they would do what they could for Nightingale, and took her in. Her parents never saw her again. Alpha did save her life, but ironically with experimenting that made her unable to live normally ever again.  

Other: Nothing. 

 

Name: Mecury

Age: 16 or so.

Appearance: Silver-grey hair, grey eyes, oddly metallic-looking skin.

Personality: Annoyingly talkitive, scatterbrained, ever cheerful, he tends to take nothing seriously, not terribly helpful when it comes to anything, immature, bit of a jerk. 

Skills/powers: No known powers, but pretty good with various weapons and tools. 

Backstory: Remembers very little of Aplha Enterprises, though he knows that they somehow did sometthing to him, he isn't sure. Anything before that is completely forgotten. 

Other: Nope. 

Enjoy! :)

Oh gosh this is hard. Which charrie shall I make up????

Name: Luna

Age: 14

Appearance: long, shiny black hair, deep, thoughtful navy eyes. Tall, lanky.

Personality: Sullen. Very serious. Never laughs nor cries. Doesn't like getting in people's business. But deep, deep down inside, she cares a lot about others.

Skills/powers: Can bend light, but when it is coming from the moon or stars. Also is as agile as a cat. 

Backstory: Everytime she closes her eyes, terrible, terrible nightmares flash before her eyes. Dreams of testing, and other things. So she spends most of her time awake suring the night. Strangely, she adapted to needing little sleep, and gets sunburn extremely easily. Has a strong fear of fire.

Name: Penny

Age: 20

Appearance: Large pale yellow eyes, pale brown grey hair tied in a bun. Short in height. Pale yellow Flowers cover the bottom half of her face--reaching as far as her eyes, making her slightly blind-- and her entire neck. Her legs are completely covered in flowers, and the lower part of her arms are also covered in the flowers. 

Personality/Backstory(Her personality is mainly based off her backstory): She once had a little sister, but Penny was taken away from her when she was 16. Very harsh tempered, growly, is mistrusting of everyone. However, she is very loyal, and once you become friends with her she never lets go. Will sacrifice anything for the people she loves.

Skills/Powers: She can control plants to an extent, allowing her to grow some crops.

Other: The flowers covering her body keep growing every day, and she knows one day she'll just become plants.

Name: Tabby

Age: She isn't positive, but roughly 14 in human years.

Appearance: Short and wild hair that's kind of a combination of red, orange, and brown. She has the same color cat ears, and slightly larger canines that a human's. Yellow-green eyes with slitted pupils, and whiskers, although she has a human nose. She also has a tail, and her fingers have retractable claws and are slightly shorter than the average human's, callused all over. If you were to take her shoes off, her feet are quite literally paws.

Personality: Tabby is quickly confused. She's been in a state of emotional turmoil most of her life, and is always trying to figure out what she is, exactly. She's slightly slow to catch on to things, but learns quickly when she does. She's rather fiesty and still slightly wild, and will often go down on all fours, or hiss, or some other cat-like trait.

Skills/powers: Enhanced hearing, smell and agility, retractable claws, and communication with cats, for what it's worth. 

Backstory: Tabby wasn't originally a human-- she was an orange tabby, hence the name. She was experimented on and eventually became a cat/human hybrid, but her feral senses never really left her. She can't remember much of the experimenatation, but remembers before and after quite clearly.

Other: Not applicable
