Blood and Oil OOC/signup

[Dunruffle]

It has been centuries after the world was destroyed by nuclear war. All that is left are barren wastelands and the husks of forgotten cities. Those left to roam the scorched earth do so in metal steeds that roar with power and feed on gasoline. Cars, these are the lifeblood of those who live. They come in all shapes and sizes, from fast motorcycles to thunderous tankers. A car lets you travel fast. A car also allows you to escape danger, or crush your enemies beneath your wheels. But cars are simply a tool to survive, to live in the wastes you need the one thing that all humans need. Water. Water is the new gold. A single bottle can buy a slave. An entire gallon can buy a car.

In an area known simply as The Flats, a scourge has descended upon the land. The warlord known as Boss Rage has been rampaging all across The Flats. Camps have been torched, populations butchered, people taken as slaves. All to satisfy the endless hunger for power that consumes Boss Rage. But there are whispers of vengeance. Rumors that someday a group of warriors will rise up to face Boss Rage and destroy him.

Will you become part of the legend?

[Dunruffle]

Name: Riggs
Age: 27
Appearance:

Riggs is 6 feet tall, brown shaggy hair, grey eyes, wiry and muscular.
Vehicle:

Personality: Riggs is an erratic individual. Most of the time he is levelheaded and cool under pressure. But sometimes he snaps and goes into a rage until he exhausts himself. A born tinkerer, Riggs loves to work on cars and is always on the lookout for scrap and parts that he can add to his bike.

History: Once part of a peaceful village, Riggs lived the simple life of scavenging parts and tending the water farms. But one day, Boss Rage discovered his village and razed it to the ground. Riggs was the only survivor. Swearing vengeance on Boss Rage, Riggs tracked down the warlord and tried to kill him. He didnt even make it past the first guards.

UPDATE: I added a WAY BETTER PICTURE!


Name: Xora, also known as "X".
Age: 25
Appearance:

Xora stands about 5'11 with a somewhat small, but very muscular build. She has a metal rod pierced through the bridge of her nose and spiked at both ends as well as 5 piercings going up her left ear and 3 on the right. She wears dark make-up around her eyes, but is usually pretty covered in dirt. Her day-to-day outfit consists of black combat boots, old ripped jeans with a camoflage design, a sports-bra like top and an old jacket over top. Her armor consists of a scrap metal chest piece and leg armor, leather shoulder pieces, and harness, and a dark green bikers helmet with a visor.
Vehicle:

Personality: Xora is a brutal, strong hard-ass with nothing to lose. She is strong, intelligent, and intimidating. She is passionate about her beliefs and is not afraid to put her (or others) life on the line in any situation. Xora has very little fear and very little patience. Though it's possible to get on her good side, she doesn't appreciate tag-alongs or other people slowing her down. If she does warm up to you, she could be a very strong ally.
History: Xora was raised in The Flats and lived there until she was 15. She knew poverty and struggle. She did what she could to help her parents, from pick-pocketing to later stealing water and other precious items from those around her. In desperate need of food and water, her parents began to get sick. Xora tried to help, but was caught while staking out a family to steal from. For that she was brutally punished and exiled from the Flats. She wandered for a month or so before being forced into a raider clan. There, she did what she was good at and trained gruelingly to make herself a "true" member and not just a grunt. After 9 years with the Raiders, she left after hearing news that Boss Rage had torched their settlement. For the past 7 months she has been on her own with nothing but revenge on her mind.
Weapons: Primary:

Sidearm:

Melee:

Other: Xora has very large, red scars across her back from being severely whipped.

[Dunruffle]

Oh, just to let you guys know. If you intend to do an 18+ scene (sexytimes), do a fade to black or take it to a pm convo

 

[Dunruffle]

i edited my character just to give a little variety to the cast

 

[Hyper Light Zulu]

[Dunruffle]

[Dunruffle]

Name: Sledge and Gigi
Age:47, 16
Appearance:

Vehicle:

Personality: Sledge is not that creative, but what he lacks in brains he makes up for with brawn. He is brute like and emotionless, seemingly without any humanity. But the one thing he does care about is his adopted daughter Gigi. If anything tries to hurt Gigi he will destroy it without hesitation. Gigi is an exuberant young girl. She is the polar opposite of her father Sledge. She is talkative loves learning about new things. While she may appear frail, she is a sadistic girl that enjoys creating chaos and causing pain. One of her favorite activities is scalping victims and making makeshift flags to decorate her father's truck.
History: Sledge was once a fearsome marauder. Feared by many, Sledge left death and destruction wherever he went. One day after killing off a bandit gang, he discovered an infant girl. Apparently the bandits had stolen the baby and were trying to sell it as a future slave. For some reason, Sledge adopted the infant. Raising the girl on his own, Sledge named his new daughter Gigi. Raising her out in the wastes, Sledge taught her everything he knew. Which was mostly how to kill people and fix trucks. Like a doting homicidal father, Sledge will do just about anything Gigi asks (if she begs enough). Now 16, Gigi is an exuberant young girl. Learning from her father, Gigi is proficient with both guns and knives. When Gigi grew older, she turned her father away from his marauding past and redirected him into the path of a bounty hunter. Nowadays, Sledge and Gigi sell their services for water and fuel.
Weapons:

Sledge's snub HMG and Gigi's pistol. Sledge uses a sledgehammer and Gigi uses a skinning knife.
Other: (any extra stuff you may want to add)

 

[Crysodic]

Name: Asher "Ashes" Narvaez
Age: 24
Appearance:

Vehicle: Picture (ignore grenade launcher) Asher calls it "Crown"
Personality: Asher can be very sarcastic and this has gotten him into many unnecessary fight where he may or may not have almost died. But he is not afraid to be generous and give out some of his food for people in need, or even some of his water. Although sometimes Asher can lie slightly and say that his stocks are bigger than they are, so others can revere him as a better person.
History: Asher was in the gang of Rage Boss and was the doctor of the group, making sure no one would die of anything too important. Frequently he relocated arms and legs, while also being able to make crude splints for them. But after Rage Boss got all murder-y and burn everything-y, Asher decided to take his leave. He managed to steal one of their more important cars, a buggy with a grenade launcher that was linked to its own aiming system within the cabin. But this part was ripped off by Asher driving under the gate that just managed to not crush him under its heavy weight as it was being closed. There is a old fashioned joy stick in the cabin that Asher occasionally toys with. He thinks its pretty cool.
Weapons:
Main
Side
Melee
Other: Asher stands at 5'10" and his car's cabin would be sitting at six feet off the ground. (Its pretty funny to watch him get into it)
He also carries a a mini medkit, filled with one clean bandage, three dirty ones and a needle with some clean thread for stitches.

Edit: Car Name​

 

[Dunruffle]

Ok everything looks good. I will put up the IC thread tomorrow.

 

[Shambles]

@Dunruffle I've noticed that you've posted 3 characters, but I felt like I should ask this just in case. Are multiple characters among the players allowed? I was thinking of creating a Brother/Sister.

 

[Dunruffle]

Actually i am sorry but i was planning on closing the signups. I just havent had time to change the sign. But if anyone drops out i will let you know.

 

[Dunruffle]

ok the IC thread is up.

CLOSED SIGNUPS - Blood and Oil

 

[Shambles]

Actually i am sorry but i was planning on closing the signups. I just havent had time to change the sign. But if anyone drops out i will let you know.

Awesome! Thank you. :)

 

[Crysodic]

I'm glad you guys liked the little speech. I was not sure if that was maybe a bit too much taking over the scene, or maybe just imputing a bunch of old world things and saying that they are valuable would be messing too much with the currency or plot.

But the scene did kinda feel like it was getting slightly dull, so once again i'm glad that you liked it and I could easily bring back some of the excitement.

 

[Dunruffle]

Just to let you guys know i will be travelling until tuesday so my posting ability will be limited.

 

[Dunruffle]

So what do you guys think of the rp so far?
