Exoskeleton - Arachnophobia at a whole new level! OOC

Best name, so yeah. That's what most people chose.

Once you post, Maxx, I'll intro Jedidiah if you want me to.

Yeah...I chose Rattown, mostly because I like smaller towns. Hamilton, did you see my idea? is it okay?

Name: Xena

Age: 22

Sex: Female

Bio: Xena was born and raised on the surface, one of the few that survives. She was lucky enough to have parents, albeit sick and slowly dying, that were able to take care of her and teach her survival skills until she was capable of surviving alone. The main determinant factor was a increased resistance to radiation and raw food due to a slight mutation. Despite this resistance years of eating uncooked, irradiated food has damaged her throat and makes her sound somewhat raspy. She was content to live a solitary existence until she came across a man from the cities named Lance. The bugs chose that moment attack and the two were forced to work together to survive. In this battle she went against her better judgment and put herself at risk to save him. It turned out to be a good call, since then Lance has returned the favor. The two of them travel the wastes going from city to city, never settling in once place. Surviving on their own terms, not a towns.

Personality: Xena is the quiet, unapproachable type, preferring to do rather than talking about it. This is also partly because of pain and how she sounds from her condition. Everything she says is very concise, honest and to the point. She is slow to trust, but loyal to the end. Not to the point of stupidity though. If the odds are hopeless she won't throw away her own life to grant a friend a few extra minutes. On the other hand, once on her bad side it is almost impossible to redeem yourself. The quickest way to do this is boasting. The exception are kids and teenagers, who still have much to learn.

Appearance: Xena stands 5'7" and is very athletic in build. Her arms and legs are longer than average, don't appear so because of her muscle mass. She wears no shoes or clothing, instead wrapping her entire body in woven web from venomous spiders. Sort of like a mummy. The material is form fitting, but not so much that it restricts movement. The only exposed parts are the mouthpiece and visor of a gas mask that she wears, and her hair. A midnight black ponytail of shoulder length. She also wears a woven web backpack, with sword sheaths to match. Two strands of web, one wrapped each of her forearms have razor blades embedded in them.

Other: Ew Spiders. Xena is quick, strong and agile. She is adept unarmed and melee combat, ranging from simple to exotic weapons. Stealth, climbing, and creating homemade equipment are other specialties of hers. Lastly she is a good marksman with guns, bows, and crossbows, but doesn't have any at the moment. Weapons and gear on her person, and in her bag are as follows.

Weapons: Four double bladed combat knives weighted for throwing, two katanas, two razor bladed spiderweb whips, six homemade chlorine grenades.

Gear: Two electrodes, electrical wire, a compact battery, a small air pump, a bag of salt, two spare gas mask filters, extra spiderweb, three sealed vials, and a canteen.

This setup makes her extremely deadly up close, but completely ineffective beyond throwing range.

Name: Lance
Age: 23
Sex: male
* Bio: Lance was originally forced to go to the surface to scavenge for supplies. It was there he realized that he didn’t want to scrounge for the cities, and never returned. Instead, he stayed on the surface, fighting bugs and becoming very proficient at surviving.
Lance met Xena on the surface and initially was content to continue on his way until they were both attacked. The situation forced them to fight off the bugs together and Xena ended up saving him from being killed. They ended up traveling together, and since then he has returned the favor, however by this time they had formed a deadly team and decided to work together.

* Personality: Lance is rather pragmatic, as well as being rather rough around the edges. He is the more no nonsense type, and is willing to do whatever is necessary to get the job done. He is loyal to his friends, but otherwise he doesn’t owe anyone any favors and is not afraid to make that clear.

Appearance: Lance is 6' 1" and in good physical condition, a byproduct of living above ground. He wears black pants and a sweatshirt over a grey shirt as well as a black gas mask with a balaclava under it. The pants and sweatshirt are fire retardant, protecting him from heat. The mask is tinted, partially concealing his face. He also wears black gloves and work boots.

Other: “Ew Spiders.”
He carries a Mossberg 500 12 guage shotgun that fires metal slugs, or whatever he can find that will work. The shotgun also has a jury rigged under barrel flamethrower. It is attached via tube to a tank on his back which holds homemade napalm. In addition to this, he carries a bowie knife and combat knife.
He also as a shell reloading/melting kit for making ammunition for his shotgun, however it takes time to do this as well as he needs raw materials.

Huh. More surface dwellers. More armed than Jedidiah, but at the same time less experienced...

This will be interesting.

My character is a few years younger, not that much of an edge.

I agree with your second statement though.

Yes I do suppose we should respect our elder characters...

I too am interested in how things will go

Well, Jed isnt a person to go after others. He has what he wants, and usually has more than he needs. He finds people and helps them out when he can. As long as you dont go after him he's happy to help where he can.

If you want them to meet Jed at one point or another, just PM me.

....or we could run into him sometime since we are probably in the same general area since this is an RP

I learn from my mistakes Canis. If you want to interact with my character, you'll PM me about it and let me know what you plan to do so what happened last time doesnt occur again. Again, I hate that it's come to this, but if you dot like that idea then you dont have to interact with him.

That wasn't what I was referring too....I was making a comment
Although bringing that up again....
you know heck with that, I'm not even going to start

DYNAMIC DUO. Accepted. Nice matching gas masks by the way.

And as for Vipera, sure. You may have a pet rat.

So why exactly did you compare your character to ours in the first place? Also your being a little bit ridiculous. We'll probably encounter your character at some point without planning on it, because that's what happens in roleplays. However, it will be nothing like what happened last time. Please give him a chance here, this isn't even a RP that emphasizes versus like The Game.

Sweet, I'll get in a post soon.

Watch out, a storms a brewin.

I edited my earlier post for that part because I found no need in posting so soon to add in the storm part XD

I like how all of a sudden everyone is interested in gas masks the minute mine and Night's characters got posted....I feel like a trend setter now

Radiation: Restricted breathing

Gas masks kinda help

Radiation poisons lungs

Gas Masks don't

Logic

Funny how logic only kicks in now

Because I'm doing the same kind of thing. I have every reason to compare, because I'm hypothesizing about what style you guys will use as compared to my style I'm using for Jed. And encountering each other is different than interacting. You guys are allowed to come in, that doesnt mean I will make an action besides leaving or staying if others are around and it's a group thing. Your character can interact no problem, as I have no reason not to trust you. But if you give me a reason not to trust you I wont. I dont really care what happened last time, because it doesnt have to be versing. I dont want to be in the position I was put in last time, and is shooting a PM saying; "Hey dude, do you mind if my character, X, interacts with your character, Y, so we can set up a plan to go and scavenge where we will meet up with that other guy's character, Z?" really that difficult? No. It's not.

Anyways, I'll get to the response now Maxx.

Heh, Jed has a mask thing... perhaps it helps in some way. I dunno.

It is one thing comparing, but you threw in how your character was more experienced. Me and Night at were merely cracking jokes.
I wasn't even referring to the incident in The Game. I got past that a while ago, but apparently you have not which is unfortunate.

I hold grudges (bad word to describe it since I wasnt 'mad' at you). It's a flaw of mine, and I'll admit to it. Doesnt mean it'll change, unfortunately.

You made it sound like a PM was required for even being in the same area as your character. Nobody said it was hard. You'll obviously be contacted about any plan we want to do together, like in the example you listed.

I wasnt last time, so I didnt want it to happen again. Hopefully this has been resolved.

Actually my character's been wearing a gas mask since the beginning of the RP, so I'm the trend setter.

Jus sayin. Razz
