Sorry, i forgot 'bout this!

Name: S'than'gar

Gender: male

Species or Model: He is a member of a tribe of A'gar'zal, who were recently wiped out in a series of attacks. It is rumored that the A'gar'zal were not decended from humans, rather, they were decended from puma concolor, or mountain lions, though this may be nothing but just that- a rumor.

Appearance: He has a long, lanky form, with large paws, (With opposable thumbs), and has a very light blond fur, with white on his belly. His green eyes seem to glow.

Personality: TBD

Gear: A bow, with several arrows rigged with cartridges of gunpowder, which explode on impact, A machete, somehow still shiny and undented after years of use, and a suit of Kevlar body armor, salvaged from an old plane wreck.

Reason to go to Eden: Heck, he just wants to get out of the Hydrozen-soaked wasteland that is Oregon, once a place of beauty, so he can live without the constant reminder of what the humans did.

Backstory: He led a pretty normal life, scavnging freely for equipment and food, until about three years ago, when a tribe of Enders, humanoids with scaly skin, wiped out his tribe. He now seeks revenge… And will stop at nothing to get it.

My god, are we off to see a wizard? Please tell me, because we have not only one but two metal men, a man made out of plant matter, and a lion man. Tell me that this RP hasn't just become a quest to find the Wizard of Oz.

Name: Lucy Vanderbilt

Gender: Female

Species or Model: A human girl, with no mutations.

Appearance: She’s around eight, small, and always very neat.  She is of Hispanic descent, and has long dark brown hair that’s nearly black and never been cut.  She braids it neatly every day.  She's slim and used to have good posture, but it's deteriating from long amounts of time spent sitting.  Her clothes are all tunics and leggings, with some nice dresses set aside for when/if she reaches Eden.

Personality: Lucy is straightforward, sincere, and serious (think Sarah from The Little Princess or the more serious, less romantic side of Anne in Anne of Green Gables).  She doesn’t really know the severity of the situation, and she doesn’t really want to.  Lucy is bookish and knows rather a lot, as she doesn’t do very much all day except read.

Gear: Lucy rides in a very slow, fully stocked, virtually impenetrable tank.  With the latest technology and all weaponry removed, there’s lots of storage space.  In its storage there’s food (freeze-dried, dried fruit, various jerkies), a tank of three gallons of fresh water, two changes of everyday clothes, five nice dresses, a first aid kit, a survival kit, a couple encyclopedias, several packs of Hydrozen batteries, a solar powered tablet with some books downloaded onto it, and a lockbox of soda tabs.

The tank moves on its own with a pre-programmed destination.  When it says change the battery, she does.  When it tells her the water supply is getting low, she refills it.  Besides that she just sits in it and reads or tries to play cards.

There is very little living space, with a cushioned chair and just enough legroom.

Reason to go to Eden: Lucy is just going because her father told her to.  She knows Eden is supposed to be a nice place, but she was pretty happy as she was.

Backstory: After emerging from the bunkers Lucy had been living in a relatively structured settlement.  Most of the houses were either tattered tents or made out of whatever materials could be found.  Lucy lived extremely well, although her house in our time would be considered impoverished and tiny.  She always had three modest meals a day, clean water, and a roof over her head.  The townspeople saw how unbalanced her family’s living style was compared to theirs, and stormed them one night intending to loot their funds and food.  Her father sent her out, promising to follow.  He never did, and she doesn’t know if he ever intended to.

There used to be a revolver in a compartment in the tank, but she was so startled to find it that she threw it into a lake.

..And now we have a Dorothy.  I promise I thought of her before I saw The Artistic Misfit's comment!

♪I could while away the hours, conferring with the sentient flowers, consulting with the acid rain♪

So when are we going to find the wizard of (hydr)Oz(en)?

(these are pretty good but in all seriousness can we resume the RP) 

Gamma~

Ki eyes me like I was a domesticated specimen to be bought at a pet shop. 531 notices and puts his free hand on Ki's shoulder.

"Dude, seriously. I didn't tame her or teach her anything. She's fully wild, and you'd better be careful or she might do to you what she did to that Sciz over in that crop field." Ki's eyes widen.

"You killed the Sciz? We've been fighting that thing for years!… Truth be told, haven't we been fighting you, too?" Ki raises his shortsword, previously hanging limply by his side on a strap. He doesn't seem to mind that it still has its sheath covering the blade.

"Yes." I reply simply. "And you've never won. No wonder Sciz prey on you type." Ki looks offended for a second, then realizes it's a joke and smiles uneasily.

"You should go see our scientists sometime. They've been positively itching to inspect you."

"That good thing or bad thing?" I glance at 531, walking along with us as we talk.

"I don't know, I'm not a scientist." Ki shrugs, smiling fully now.

~~ 

So Ki's only been in this settlement for about a day. Just thought I'd point that out since you guys were making it sound like he'd lived there for a while.

Ki~

"Wreaks used to be a naval base, I think. At least that's what I've heard around here. I'm not really sure what that means. But hey, it sounds cool, right?"

"H-have you lived here long?" the V.A.S asks, although he's been paying more attention to the surroundings than to what I've been saying on this so-called 'tour'. It's true, Wreaks is one of the weirder places I've been to, but this android is acting like he's never seen a settlement before. And the amalgamation doesn't look much more comfortable.

"Oh, no, I've only been in this settlement about a day." I answer.

Sel appears vaguely amused. "Hm. You m-must get around then."

"I suppose. I really just like meeting new people. And my old place ran fresh out of people, so that's kind of been my only option recently. But Wreaks, now here's a place with a kind of people I'm very interested in." 

"And what kind of people m-might that be…?" Sel's voice trails off as his stride leaves his gaze behind, looking over his shoulder at an admittedly distracting fish-headed individual for about ten seconds.

"People like you, Sel! Robots!"

"Why would you be interested in me?" Sel asks heedfully, distrust suddenly rampant in his cybernetic eyes.

Ignoring his strange reaction, I give Sel a grin as wide as I can manage. "You're a V.A.S! That means you're probably pretty good at navigation, right? So was thinking… maybe we could team up? I'm trying to find a place called Eden."

At the mention of Eden, Sel stops in his tracks, his gaze shifting quickly toward me with startling intensity. Before he can say anything, however, some guy in a hazmat suit shoots a net at us and starts yelling about capturing the amalgamation. Gamma- I think that's what she wanted me to call her- assumes an intimidating stance that I would want to stay far away from if I hadn't recently become her acquaintance. And if wolves were interested in eating celery.

A projectile bounces off of Sel, and I spring upwards about ten feet onto the nearest rooftop. As Gamma snarls, she and the man circling one another, Sel looks up at me. "Are you d-ditching us?"

I scratch my head. "Huh? No way! I just wanted a better vantage point. Did you think I was gonna pass up the chance to see a real Vessel Assault Scout in action? come on, 531, show that guy who's boss!" 

Hello! Could I join, even though you've already started? I've been wanting to join for a bit, but I wasn't sure if I would have the time to be active.

Thanks Rouge Wildling!

Here is my character:

Name: Chyla

Gender: Female

Species or Model: Mutant

Appearance: Chyla’s appearance is that of a 5’ 10’’ humanoid fox with two tails, but she is a crystalline lifeform. Her “skin” is made out of a solid, quartz-like crystal, while deeper inside, veins of crystallized Hydrozen act as nerves. Her body is semi-transparent and her pulsing blue “nerves” are visible from the outside. The crystal that makes up her body is very hard, with her “claws” being able to cut metal. She can’t easily be cut, but can be chipped or broken. She doesn’t feel any pain when that happens, though, and can grow back parts of her body naturally as long as a portion still remains intact. It takes about a week for her to regrow an arm of leg, but the time needed to regenerate increases exponentially, with it taking a year to regrow half of her body (her limit is two-thirds; after that, she’s basically dead). As a crystal, Chyla doesn’t need any sustenance or sleep, and can survive any level of Hydrozen exposure. She also doesn’t open her mouth; she “speaks” by resonating part of her body, making her voice musical but indistinct. She doesn’t remember when she learned to speak. Chyla is also very agile, able to jump over a yard in the air and run at ~30 mph. When she moves, her two tails hit together, making a tinkling sound that ruins any chance at stealth.

Personality: She is friendly and curious about other lifeforms, and is often energetic and excited, sometimes about commonplace things. She is also an avid tinkerer, and has built and rebuilt many things from scrap she found in her travels. She’s terrible at directions.

Gear: She carries a good amount of scrap she scavenged from destroyed machines in a small satchel slung across her shoulder. Some of it is completely useless, but there are a couple Hydrozen batteries and other valuable stuff in there. Also in the satchel are her tools, such as a screwdriver and hammer, that she uses when building stuff. A couple makeshift bombs and a Hydrozen knife are strapped to the satchel's handle. She also built a “scouter”, a tactical eye-display she modified to show Hydrozen density (and by extension, androids), as well as locations of animal lifeforms. It can also show plant-based life, but she usually keeps that function off.

Reason to go to Eden: She thinks she can find answers there. See backstory.

Backstory: She doesn’t remember much about her early past, but knows that she was living happily with other people like her. Her earliest clear memory is of her settlement being destroyed by a group of black, sword-wielding androids. Her memory of how she survived is hazy, but she remembers a voice telling her: “Find Eden. There lies the answers and history you seek. I will wait for you there.” Since then, Chyla has searched for Eden in hopes that she can find out about her past and the androids there. However, she has no clue where Eden is, having never asked anyone for directions (not that they would have helped), and so has wandered for at least five years.

And here's my first post:

"There." Chyla said to herself as she finished screwing the cover on the scouter's tactical displacy. After putting her screwdriver in her satchel, she jumped off the rock she was crouching on and looked around. This is as good a place as any to test this thing, she thought, putting the scouter's modified ear strap around her ear. Chyla tapped the side of the scouter and its display flickered to life in front of her eye. "Cool!" she said, looking around. "Hydrozen levels … lifesigns … I was going to trade this, but its just so cool. I think I'll keep it. Speaking of trading … (Chyla looked around with her scouter) Looks like a settlement over there, to the … north? I can probably get a new hammer there. Okay then, nothward!" Chyla shouted excitedly, sprinting eastward torwards the settlement.

———————

Three dark shapes detached themselves from the shadow of a large rock.

"Detection source removed. Stealth mode deactivated."

"Target acquired. Moving eastward."

"Begin pursut with caution. Power level estimated at 6000."

"Acknowledged."

The three black androids moved stealthily and cautiously after Chyla, their sword hilts momentarily glinting in the sun.
