Scorched Earth: Watch the World Burn (OOC and Signups)

Name Timothy Endley
Gender Male
Age I-I'm not sure, you lose track of time out here, I'd guess decades. At least it feels like it. (50's or so, but he looks like he's in his early 20's)
Appearance He's a rather tall and gangly sort, standing at just above seven feet. His back is bent forward from perpetual ducking. He has a relatively long and slender facial structure with a skin tone that appears almost grey. His hair is a darker grey, a couple inches long, and stands up at random angles by it's own volition. Tim doesn't seem to mind, however. His eyes are rather large compared to what might be considered "normal" in this day and age. His irises are as white as their surroundings and his pupils never seem to contract, remaining unusually wide. His nose and lips are small and thin, yet he still attempts a suitably sized smile when he can.
Mutations
-Unusually Tall: Either through something in the water, genetics, or some other method, Tim's just really tall. He also hits his head on a lot of things. Luckily, he's also got a sturdy skull.
-Ashen Skin: Timothy has some grey-ish skin the same color as ashes. Additionally, thanks to a chemical imbalance caused by the mutation, his skin is rather fragile and he gets cut easily. This is offset by an increase in blood platelet production allowing his body to clot the cuts remarkably quickly. The result is a number of lengthy red scabs all over his skin.
-Large Pupils: Because of his unique eye structure, Timothy's eyes take in a lot more light than they should, without contracting. As a result, he is nearly blind in direct sunlight but can see farther than most in the dark.
-Slow Aging: Timothy's body has a unique ability to keep his organs running longer and at a higher efficiency than his ancestors. He'll likely live to be 250 or 300, but dying of old age is a luxury most people cannot afford.
Equipment
-Leather Cape: A long, rectangular sheet of leather tied around the neck by a short cord. It has many tears and holes in it from years of wear.
-Plastic Visor: Thankfully, plastics made long ago still haven't decomposed over the 700 years of rain, wind, and radiation. As a result, this visor was created. It's made of what looks to be bits of water bottles cut in a crescent shape with a bit of cloth wrapped around the entire thing. It's kept on his head by a long strip of cloth that is tied behind his head. Dark gray hair sticks out from beneath it, ever resilient in it's push to the clouds.
-Cloth Shorts: Thanks to his unusually long extremities, Timothy never really wears long pants. These thick pair of shorts come down to just above his knees and are the color of dirt. Though, that might just be from not washing it in a while.
-Patchwork Shirt: A long t-shirt made from various square cloths sewn together haphazardly. The materials seem to be fairly homogeneous in type, but the patches are many different colors and it's very easy to identify from a distance.
-Wooden Sandals: A pair of sandals, but calling them sandals is a bit generous. In reality, it's two vaguely foot-shaped pieces of wood with rope straps threaded through holes in the sides to keep the wearer's feet secure. These have seen quite a bit of wear, but they remain sturdy and fully functional.
Misc Items
-Woolen Socks: A pair of ankle socks made of actual, real, wool. They're rather scratchy but Timothy is very proud of them. Sewn onto the backs of both is the letter 'T'.
-Old Charm: An old circular piece of blue plastic with a crude picture of the sun engraved in it. The sun's depressions have been painted yellow, but some of the paint has chipped off. It has a piece of twine threaded through a hole in the top for wearing around the neck, but Timothy keeps it in his shorts pocket.
Character Dynamic
Timothy is not one for confrontation, and tries to be passive yet friendly in most situations. He really only gets worked up when somebody gets hurt or when he sees something particularly colorful. He always was a sucker for things with vibrant colors.
 
Thread posted, short intro. Mostly focusing on some misc quest ideas and lore at this point.
 
Is there a link anywhere? :?
 
Name: Edward Gregory
Gender: Male
Age: Around... 25? Maybe? Do goo people age normally?
Appearance: A slightly small-ish humanoid figure, seemingly male, who appears to be made entirely out of a cyan-colored goo. His eyes strangely seem to be the one exception to this, having a purple 'iris' and black pupils. He seems to be slightly transparent, and doesn't actually seem to have any visible organs.
Mutations: Edward's body has been heavily mutated, resulting in him being a controllably amorphous goo with his vital organs suspended inside, he can squeeze his entire body through anything that has an opening larger than his largest organs. Cutting weapons are almost entirely innefectual unless they strike one of these organs, however due to his aqeous nature a sufficiently powerful strike with a bludgeoning weapon will seriously injure if not kill him. Along with this, he finds himself needing to drink more often than most, otherwise the goo starts to dry and harden up.
Equipment: A badly stitched-together shirt made of rags, something that appears to be an attempt at making pants that he gave up and made into shorts, makeshift knife made out of scrap metal and duct tape.
Character Dynamic: Generally calm, although gets scared fairly easily.
