Trail to Eden.

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Trail to Eden.

Trail to Eden.

 

Hello lifeforms. And welcome to a post-apocalyptic RP!

Don't we already have a apocalyp-

That's a zombie one. I mean a nuclear one because Bethesda has lost my faith thanks to fallout 76 and The Outer Worlds by Obsidian has yet to be released so this is my way of coping till then!

*Ahem*

The year was 2577 when a new fuel sorce was discovered. Hydrozen. A powerful,  long-lasting, wasteless, compound that seems to be abundant. Due to fossil fuels running out and renewable energy not reaching the needs of the people. This resource was sought out for by the most powerful countries. Agreements couldn't be made on how to distribute between The United States, Great Britain, Russia, China, Afghanistan, and Japan and tension was on the rise. In 2682. World War IV, dubbed The Hydrozen War, began. With the USA, Japan, and Britain on one side. And Russia, China, and the Middle East on the other. 

A stupid, pointless, war....

Hydrozen; what began as a hope for humanity soon became it's demise. As new Hydrozen technologies were made to make life easier at home. Weapons were made for the war. First the Hydrogen weaponry like the EM7 and the EAR-45 and the DRC .22 and with it the invention of the Infusers. A mix of Hydrozen and chemicals that add effects like fire or poison. Then came the Androids, what started as servents soon became war machines. The US and Japan invented the Vessel Assault Scout, or V.A.S. For short. Machines e break the laws of robotics to kill enemies. Designs were stolen and restolen as more deadly troops were trained and built. Power Armor, Hydrozen Katanas, the war went on and on. The First Hydrozen nuke, called the Joy-Killer, was built and tested in 2723.

All heck broke loose.

Increased AI, Deadlier weapons, more powerful bombs, underground city bunkers built.

The war went on without end.

In 2745 at the peak of the war. All the Nukes went off at once.

No one knows who launched the first one. But it didn't matter, Billions died, cities destroyed. Death everywhere.

But life remained.

Those who were in the bunkers won't come out til another 300 years. Any creatures who survived the blasts outside were either killed due to the engineered unstable Hydrozen or were mutated.

The wastelands became a deadly place. The creatures outside either became savage beasts, or intelligent humaniods that formed tribes and made due with humanity's leftover technology and weapons. V.A.S.'s and other androids were rebooted, some are still dormant. And in 3026, the bunkers opened and the last humans stepped foot into this new world.

a chaotic, deadly, unforgiving world.

But legends says somewhere in western Canada, lies Eden. A land untouched by the bombs and war. Where no beasts are there to hunt you and plenty of food and clean water.

You are one of those who believe.

This is your story.

 

Ok, how was that? Good?

The point of this rp is simple, find Eden. Should be easy in this blood thirsty world.

Your character will start in the eastern USA.

Some rules.

any kind of character is allowed. Yes that includes plant based mutants and any kind of  Android, you don't have to be a V.A.S.

androids can NOT get mutations, they are robots and don't have organic cells

If you choose for your ORGANIC character to have/develop a mutation, it has to be scientificly explainable. NO magic! If your character can summon fire in their plams, they must have glands in their hands or something for example.

Androids are fueled by Hydrozen, they don't need food or water but to save energy can enter "sleep" mode, they are also more resistant to unstable Hydrozen but it can fry their circuits.

if you are human, you are either leaving your bunker for the first time or your bunker has already opened a while ago and are living in a settlement.

Only weapons with live ammo can have infuser modules to insert Infusers. Melee Weapons that aren't made of energy can also use infusers. 

The year is 3067.

The currency is soda tabs

Maybe you should wait to introduce Jeka until we get to our next destination. Based on the information in Misfit's post, mayhaps that will be in the city of Mars?

Also side note I don't think Chyla is a child. Several people have called her one for some reason, maybe because she came in at the same time as Lucy, but I'm preeetty sure she's an adult. But I won't speak on Tafinx's behalf

Chyla is an adult, she just acts ... differently than other people. Also, sorry for my posts focusing more on the androids than Chyla, I have WAY too much fun writing for the bad guys. Tongue out

...

I thought Sel was currently deactivated...

Also if Aries is also a soldier robot wouldn't Sel at the very least not point his gun?

i'm confused now....

Here we goooOOOooOoOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, Darkking, we could have your character be from Mars.

The captcha is pawn, what are the odds of that. an actual word. 

Aries~

"Now then, since you all know why I am here, I'm sure we would like to know who we all are." "Execute Identification Procedure, Master Key ######!" The VAS immediately goes into a salute. "V-V.A.S.-f-f-531 First C-C-Class Priv-v-vate Assault Saboteur Reporting for Duty S-S-SIR!" "At ease, soldier." Now it was my turn. "DELTA CLASS SPARTAN-413 Colonel Codename Aries, Reporting For Duty.” "Now that you know my name, and I know 531 over there, I would like to know the rest of your names, if you don't mind." "Ki" "Gamma" "Lucy" "Chyla" "Okay. Now that we know eachother, let's get out of this bar and to an open field."

37 Minutes Later 

"Alright. If we want to travel to some place in northern Alaska, we're going to have to train. Plant Man, I'll help you with your swordsmanship, and Gamma I have ideas that might be able to put those tentacles to good use. 531, how good are you with that EAR-45?" "Good enough." "Just because your aim is good enough and your targeting systems are functional does not mean your aim can't be improved. You'll be suprised at how much your aim sucks when the systems aren't functioning." "Plant Man-" "My name is Ki." "-you are going to fight that thing." "What thing?" "That," I said pointing towards the the forest. A bear-like creature came out of the woods, running full speed at us. "but I'm slugggish at night. You fight that thing." "Ki, that is the reason why we're in this field at night. To train your mind and muscles so that there is no difference between you in the night and day." "Now slay it before it kills you." "Are you serious?!?" "Yes. Why would I not be?" ~

Thats all for now.

Oh just fyi... 

You forgot Carson. He's there too... but I think we may be moving to fast.. perhaps we could have some more character devolopment? Or at least have the characters interact with eachother, more than just action...

Gamma~

Aries points again at the bear-beast, which is closing in. If Ki takes on that thing alone, he'll be killed! Thus, I spring into action. Swerving around Aries and Ki, I gain the bear's attantion by head butting him off his course. Aries "commands" me to stop, but I ignore him. After all, who died and made him king? The bear slashes at me with his oversized claws, but, being faster if not also stronger than the bear, I dodge his swipes and get in a few of my own. I've encountered this species before. Despite their heavy-set necks, their necks are surprisingly easy to break.

"Make Gamma's protrudences useful, eh? THEY ARE." I shout to make sure Aries "the King over all" is watching. When I see him turn back to us, my "tentacles", as he calls them, wrap around the thrashing and bleeding bear's neck. With a twist and a snap, the bear lies lifeless at my feet.

"WHAD'JA DO THAT FOR??" Aries shouts. I growl.

"You not know Gamma. You not know Gamma will fight for her friends."

"So why won't you listen to me??" Ohhh, I want to slap him so badly. I'm sure he can see the seethingly cold rage in my eyes.

"You not Gamma's friend! You put real friend in danger, soldier! We make path from what all say. We follow nobody. We all follow each other. You not like that? Too bad. Get used to team or leave." Aries puts his hands up.

"Okay, okay, Gamma I get it now I'll stay, if you let me." I growl again, but I nod and walk away, lashing my tail.

I don't like this new android. Chyla thought, watching Aries and the rest of the group from a distance while tinkering with a broken handgun. Besides the fact that I'm not heading towards the WORKING TANK, he's way too bossy and overbearing, no pun intended, she added, looking at the bear-creature. And his scouter signature is more like one of those Shilari than an actual android. Well, he never even asked to join this group, so I don't have to listen to him. Oh, there's the problem! Broken Hydrozen converter. Going to have to make a new one. Chyla took out a piece of sheet metal from her satchel and started cutting it with her claws. After a few minutes, she had turned it into a Hydrozen conversion scaffold, which she then put back into the handgun. "Hey guys!" Chyla walked over to Sel. "Any of you need a new EWX-12? I just got this one working!"

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

"New target detected. Delta-class android, power level ... 1540. Power level of total group 9620, unincluding unknown mutant. Continuing monitoring. However, Shilari may be insufficient. Recommending activation of Stalkers."

Carson~
Quick to get away from danger, I scrambled back past some trees waiting breathlessly as the demon wolf fought with the bear. Gosh, what a great decision to travel to Eden with people you just met. Of all the hair brained ideas..
My whirlwind thoughts were interrupted by Lucy, I believe her name was. Or possibly Mary. But thats nothing of consequence. She was quite near where I was and like me she was hiding. Yeah I was hiding. Not my proudest quality. Anyway, after the quick defeat, Gamma stalked off with the VAS while Lucy and I came out of hiding. Though, she didnt look too frightened. I mean, I most likely would be crying my face out if I was her age. I slowly limped over where Chyla was tinkering and sat down. Lucy followed. Most of my leg had tuned to solid ice, as was expected so I started to massage it. At least twice a month one of my limbs turn to cold. Lucy looked in surprise.
"Yeah, ice!" I grumbled. "Not something you see everyday.."
Her dark eyes glinted curiously.
"So, how long have you known Ki and Chyla? Are they your guardians... something like that?"
She shook her head.
"I've only just met them. About five minutes before you."
"Really?" I said very surprised. "Do you have parents?"
"Well my parents aren't here now. But I am meeting them in Eden,'' she added underneath her breath, "Hopefully."
"Ah, well," I sighed. "This is going to be one adventure you wont forget! One day at a time, and well make it through! Right, little lady, lets grab a bite to eat shall we?"
~~~
Oh gosh, I know this is really bad but here it is! Sorry ;P
@ Marigold
I was kinda thinking that Carson and Lucy could have some sort of friendship. What do you think?

V.A.S-531

"A w-word ARIES, if you wi-ill." I'm personally sick of ARIES commanding acts and the others seem to express the same feeling. Even Gamma as she looks crossly at the Delta.

"Yes first class pri-"

I cut him off "I don't know what you th-think you are doing-ing but you were not elected leader so I sugge-st you stop telling us what to, ex-pec-ially since you just drop-ped into our gr-oup."

"And what makes you think you can talk like that to you-"

I cut him off again. "You are not my comm-ander, Delta. your role is national gaurd. I'm the one here with act-ual mil-itary experien-ce. Seco-ndly I don't care what you-what you think you are. you are not in charge. We are a team. No one's leader."

ARIES looks crossfuly at me.

"Thirdly. you have no right to use that program on me, again. I don't know what you think you are. You are not my commander."

I turn away from him before he says anything
