Rogue WildlingParticipantGamma~
The AI turns around, weapon locked and loaded. I don't move as his "eyes" travel upwards to meet mine. He staggers backwards.
"Oh. My. Bullets. What ARE you??" I lower my head and take a step forward, sniffing slightly.
"Gam… Gam… Gamma." The AI scrambles to get behind something, which just so happens to be a nearby log.
"OH MY BULLETS YOU CAN TALK!!!!" He shreiks. My prodrudences shudder and I chirrup an affirmation. He eyes me suspiciously. "Well, you seem safe enough…" A recorded voice quietly sums me up, even though no one is talking. "Species: Unknown. Gender: Female. Approach with extreme caution. Insane levels of radiation, be wary of physical contact; creature seems very powerful. Readable emotions: Curious. Most usable physical weakness: Right foreleg is broken. Tech scan results: Has many dangerous weapons in vest. Do not engage in combat. Current condition: Safe." The AI relaxes some. "So, your name is Gamma? Where'd you get the – oh my gosh that's ASCOUT-1's vest! YOU KILLED ASCOUT-1??" He raises his weapon again, eyes blazing.
"N-No! ASCOUT-1 frien-n-d! Love ASCOUT-1! Miss ASCOUT-1! ASCOUT-1 frien-n-d!" I back away in fear.
"I don't believe you." The AI's hands tighten on the weapon. I brace for death. "ZZZZZT DO NOT KILL. TRACES OF RUST IN LIGHT STREAKS ON COAT. DEDUCTION: WAS CARED FOR BY AN OLD AI."

Quite Interesting…
So this is the effects of unstable Hydrozen…
She's quite intelligent if she can speak…The wolf thing… Well she looks mostly like a wolf… If you exclude the frail and tentacles. Though if she's intelligent enough to speak, she can be intelligent enough to lie.
But her leg and the rust sways me otherwise. As I.N.F.O mentioned, it's most likely that ASCOUT-1 was the one who bandaged her leg. It's unlikely for animals to betray those who established trust. I also don't remember ASCOUTs having empathy…but ASCOUT-1 was always the interesting one.
i drop my EAR-45.
"I'm no-not going to hu-hu-hurt you."
Stupid vocals.
"You no hurt?"
"No, no I won't- I won't hurt you… Can I look at the vest?"
She quietly nods.
I kneel down slowly as I examine the vest. Four silver stars in a row under a golden nametag. The vest contans several things, some throwing knifes, a couple of clips, a…
LAST RESORTS DETECTED!
最後の手段が検出されました
I back away.
"Where voice?"
"Huh?"
"Voice said "Last Re-sorts De-tect-ed." and some gar-ble. Where voice?"
So she can hear I.N.F.O? Interesting.
"Just-just-just some soft-off-ware I have."
"Soft…ware?"
"It's like…it's like…thoughts…but for-or A.I.s"
"No hear soft-ware from ASCOUT-1 and frien-n-nds"
"Diff-if-iferent A.I.s have diff-if-iferent soft-off-ware."
"……miss ASCOUT-1 and frien-n-nds…you miss ASCOUT-1?"
"Well I ne-never met him…though he was qu-ite popular…"
"Pop-you-lar?"
"Well liked."
"…Gamma never pop-u-lar… Tribe leave when leg broke. But ASCOUT-1 fix leg. Like ASCOUT-1"
"…You know the fast-est route to Eden?"
"Eden good place. Eden west and north, know that. But don't know best path. All paths bad. Strong mu-tants, bad glows…bad people…"
"Well I have friends too… Friends I lo-st long ago…Do you know anyone who can help?"
"Set-tle-ment near. But Set-tle-ment no like Gamma, think Gamma mon-ster. Shoot but always miss. Too quick for them. Set-tle-ment like A.I.s, can go with if they think we frien-n-nds. We frien-n-nds?"
"S-sure. A friend of ASCOUT-1 is a friend of mine."
She yips with joy as she runs off.
"Fol-low! Night soon. Night not safe. Set-tle-ment safe."

J.B.EParticipantKi~
I squat atop the remnant of what I think might be a very large boat, one of many in this particular settlement. My sword is out of its scabbard and laid across my lap, not because I'm expecting a fight, but because it would otherwise be slightly uncomfortable in this position.
"Hey, sir? Hello?" I call down to a heavyset man with what appears to be a bluish mushroom emerging from his neck. He looks up at me with an intimidating scowl.
"What do you want, greeny? A loitering ticket?"
"I was wondering when the AI might show up. I was promised I would see one in this settlement but for some reason no one's talked to me since I got here."
"Well, excuse us for being just the smallest bit suspicious of outsiders. 'Specially ones flauntin' nothing but a medieval weapon around like that. What's your fascination with bots anyway?"
"I've never seen one. I heard that if I came here I would see one. So I came here."
"That it, huh?"
"Mm-hm. Should I have more than one reason?"
The mushroom man grunts with exasperation. "Yeah, yeah, alright. You'll see one sooner or later. The local AI are practically gods to the people 'round here. I suppose that's their payoff for protectin' us from baddies on the occasion. They pass through here every day, mostly to show off. You know, to hear everyone sing their praises. Just goes to show even a bundle of nuts and bolts can have a little fame go to its head. Egomaniacs the whole bunch, I'll tell you something…"
"Oh, that's good. It's almost sunset and I was hoping to meet one before night. You see, when the sun isn't out I get a bit sluggi-"
The mushroom man shoves his calloused palm into my face. "Save it for the bots, greeny. I've got work to do."
As he lumbers off, I shrug, resuming my perched reconnaissance. Luckily enough, I don't have much longer to wait.
Over the crest of the hill, I spot a bipedal silhouette, glinting in the reddish sunlight of the twilit wasteland. It has to be an AI! It's accompanied by another figure as well, one with a pretty strange shape, but that doesn't exactly concern me. If it's with an AI, I should think it wouldn't be hostile.
Eager to introduce myself, I leap from my perch, landing into a pile of dried grass with what was probably less finesse than I would've liked. Brushing off my clothes, I ignore glares from the locals and stand my ground in the middle of the road, directly facing the settlement's entrance, which the AI should be reaching shortly.
This will be interesting.
At least, I hope it will.

Finally, after about 10 edits, I think I'm done writing. Here we go, my character, after 7 days, will finally be seen.
Name: Aries
Gender: Male by design
Species or Model: Delta Class Spartan, manufactured in Greece
Appearance: 7ft tall, looks a bit like Chappie*, but more humanoid and clad in Army Camouflage. Oh, and 2 auditory and radio receivers that are similar to ears, as they also provide balance. Lastly, he has a multitude of badges and medals for his work in the army and police force. Keep this a secret and never write about the fact that the Deltas were actually cyborgs, and very little of the cyborgs retained their memory. However, this is knowledge only Aries know now, for his superiors are dead. Do not mention this in the RP, ok guys?
Personality: Whatever he deems necessary for the moment.
Gear: He has 3 forms. Heavy form, Scout form, and Sniper form. In Heavy form he is stationary and transforms into a turret with a minigun. In Scout form, he has limited use of his built-in weapons, but can carry weapons and has more maneuverability. In Sniper form he is semi-stationary and only moves when his target is out of sight. Not to mention his arms turn into weapons. His right arm turns into an MPRG, and his left turns into an EGG that shoots a green lightning bolt of death. He also has rocket boots and a biofuel reactor. Finally, he has a blunderbuss with infusers, a revolver, a robo sidearm, a crossbow, and a fire axe.
Abilities: He can program entertainment for humans, this can range from a choose your own adventure to a AAA game, and has a means of replenishing his ammo by "eating" metal. He can fly, behave and learn almost as if he was human, change the sound of his voice, speak a multitude of languages, and basically do anything a person can and do it better. He also has reached Ascension, for his already powerful mind has become even more powerful, however his mutation is not yet known, for not even he knows what it is.
Reason to go to Eden: “It sounds.. Interesting.. Also, I would like to explore. We have more than enough people here to protect Mars while I’m traveling. I want to go sightseeing. I Hope Mars won’t fall into chaos while I’m gone! It would be hard and a shame to have to calm them down.”
Backstory: He was made for law enforcement, but was deployed in the American Army due to his outstanding work. While he was in the Army, he managed to perform so perfectly that he was the first Android to achieve the rank of Colonel, mostly because he single handedly put an end to the Great Gang War of Florida. However, while on a mission to find the HQ of the notorious gang that stayed out of the War, he was ambushed, and just like that, he and his platoon of assorted androids were deactivated in 2735 and forgotten about. Later, in 2904, He and his platoon rebooted and started building shacks and stuff. Until one day, in 2922, a mutant strolled in their hamlet. The mutant was a curious bugger. Literally. It was sentient beetle that could stand, wondering how some ancient like buildings were untouched and unlooted already. Aries and his splatoon drove him off. . However, this time, they did not attack. The beetle, having seen how powerful Aries and his platoon were, told everyone he knew about them. The beetle came back 3 years later with an assortment other creatures they had never seen, had came to seek refuge from the beasts and dangers of the Wastelands. Over the next 100 years, the hamlet grew to a village, then a town, and finally a bustling city, so well known that it was almost unthinkable to never have heard of it. A prosperous city in which there is no ill intentions on anyone. The City of Mars.
I edited this character description lightly to take out the very specific real-world weapons. We generally encourage more fantastical or science fictional items. –Admin -
Tuxedo KittenParticipantJust a heads up, I wont be posting as much this month because you know, the holidays. Theres usually a lull on here anyway.
Also sorry for the drastic delay! I have not been able to access a computer and when Ive tried to post my sheet on the phone it keeps getting deleted. Also I still have school :/
Ill be using a newer OC for this RP
Name: Carson (Have not decided on a last name)
Age: Mid to late thirties
Gender: Male
Species: Part human, I suppose.
Appearance: Brown short hair. Shaved on the sides and longer on the top. Strange blue, white, and black dilated eyes. Tan skin, about 5'11" or so. Some stubble. Leading up to his neck are bright blue veins that end around his left cheek bone. Also leading down to his wrists and hands. Wears a normal hoodie.
Personality: Pretty low key. He's got a good sense of humor. Although not exactly light hearted. Carson has a range of moods, although mostly he is social and likes to be around normal people (Unlike himself). Quite frankly, he's afraid of himself. When he feels threatened or some other extreme emotion he (unwillingly) turns into a sort of ice human/monster thing. He's pretty shook about that, but has made a few friends on the settlement that help him through it. He's not the bravest. But he is loyal and wont leave just because he is afraid.
Ack I have to go now, but hopefully I can finish this tomorrow… Also to be clear, he is a mutant.-
Rogue WildlingParticipantI see! So he kinda mutated to have the automatic ability for defensive cells to be hyperactivated by adrenaline, forming a hard, icelike substance on the surface of his skin! COOL (ehehe puns)

Tuxedo KittenParticipantRogue, yeah I guess you pretty much summed it up! I suck at science so thanks loll
Gear: Some sort of gun I guess? I think I need help on this @Writer
Reason to go to Eden: Carson wishes to hopefully be rid of his… power. And to help all the other humans who are struggling to survive
Backstory: Well, this is going to be quite rough considering I’m bending his original story to fit in this world so bare with me. Carson has most of his memory from when he was normal, and most of it wasn’t good. He had been arrested (for some reason or another, he can’t remeber) and been in prison for however long. He doesn’t know.
He woke up in a half demolished prison, with ivy growing on the ruins and a layer of ice covered his body that most likely preserved him for an indefinite amount of time. Carson had no idea what was going on, and had only a blurry memory of what had happened. He later found out what he could turn into and went into isolation mode trying to survive and fend for himself. After a year or so he stumbled upon an opened bunker and decided to look for the humans that had one lived there. He found a settlement and now he lives there. Although most people think he’s a threat.
Hope this works!

Ok, gear is pretty much all the equipment your charrie is carrying. Items, weapons etc. If you decide to carry a hydrozen weapon. It's just E then some letters and numbers that refferance a gun. Then it's "clip" size. Basically how many times you can shoot before taking out the battery and shaking it. For ammo guns… Use nicknames because the admins won't allow it. I tried with Dom's piercer.
Hope this helps

We usually allow one request for edits on a post so long as it is reasonable. — Admin
