We'll have to make sure to go somewhere with big, tall buildings so you can show off. ;)

I'll need a haystack. Or a cart of geraniums. Or water. (Yay for references XD) But, nah, I was mostly trying to make up for his lack of...skills.

I forget if I mentioned or not, but I don't mind regular humans (Survivor and Soldier, mostly) being slightly superhuman in this. The world they're living in is extremely harsh, so if they've survived this long, they've adapted or at least begun to adapt. I imagine the Aery Alliance has super soldier programs in the works.

Speaking of supersoldiers, I had some random ideas a while ago for steampunkish ones, haha. I have way too many designs for stuff.

So, are we all set to get started, then? I can get us going in the RP thread, if you guys are all ready.

I won't be able to do much until tonight but aside from that, I'm good to go ;)

Oy, I'm a friend of Cupcake's. Was reading up on your roleplay, I'm pretty interested in it. If you've got a spare slot, I wouldn't mind joining. Here's my profile, and I apologize for lurking the thread.

Name: Lev Gurevich, Lev of Tsavo

Class: Soldier

Abilities: Borderline supernatural resiliency, able to ignore physical pain, superior marksmanship.

Items: Le Mat Revolver (.32 Cal/410Gauge), Toz 17-01 Rifle (.22 LR), Purification Filter, Incindiary Laser, Survival Knife,

Picture : *To be uploaded.

Physical Description: Lev has a hard-edged face framed in sooty black hair, marred by burns and scars. His right eye seems to open further than his left, giving him a look of feral alarm at times. He wears a long brown overcoat to protect himself from the elements. His most striking feature is the stake driven permanently through his left palm, permanently affixing a revolver to his hand. He looks to be in his late twenties, although even he couldn't tell you what age he was.

Background: Lev Gurevich had the misfortune of being born in the Tsavo region of Africa. He was a child soldier in countless conflicts, growing up in war-torn villages and slave camps. Death was a fact of life, and many he was forced to fight beside died. Lev always seemed to survive though, and he was forced to carry on into his adulthood. However, he wasn't exactly lucky One battle eventually got the better of him, and he was marked for execution after being taken prisoner. Nailed to a cross with a revolver still in his hand, his crucifix was set on fire. This was not the only time Lev had suffered though, and he miraculously survived being burned off the cross.
Unable to remove the stake that pinned the revolver to his hand,

Lev was forced to keep it as a permanent branding. Some have refered to him as The Man with a Gun in his Hand, and his prowess with said gun is phenomenal. Others who know his origins have called him Lev of Tsavo, in reference to the slaughter and his survival. Word has spread of his deranged exploits. Stories tell of fatal wounds, stabbings, even shots through the head failing to stop him. However, stories are easily made up. But if it serves his purposes, Lev has no objections to letting these stories continue.

Lev himself is a fractured personality. He knows that everything in life is futile, and yet he persists. He becomes intensely curious about people that don't try to kill him, then suddenly shuts them out. Having lost the developmental years of his youth, he finds it hard to socialize or relate to people. Lev becomes quickly defensive and disagreeable when pushed even slightly on any matter, not really knowing how to 'compromise'. He has no unique place in the world, as there are hundreds of soldiers, and he himself is a somewhat broken one. He secretly suspects that he is in fact dead, and the earth he walks today is his own hell. He knows he has survived many things he should not have, and wonders if maybe his body never left the cross at all.


I can change his class to Survivor if need be, since he is not currently serving with any recognized military force.

Hi, Salone. Glad you decided to join us. We do have a couple slots remaining, so welcome aboard. :)

He's really interesting, at a glance, too. Can't wait to see him in play.

And, Soldier is fine. You're welcome to a couple more starting items, if you want, though you certainly don't have to take them.

And... on that note, I'm just going to do a quick recap. Me + Serra + Dolly + Sage + Espy + Salone, equals 6 members. That's pretty much right where I wanted to be. Quiet, if you read this, you still have a spot if find time to join. I'll take up to one more player on top of that, but that'll be all.

I really scratched my brain trying to think of more items, but he's not really the 'well prepared' kind. And I seriously considered counting the stake in his hand as an item, since I guess he could technically backhand someone with it, although I'm sure it would cause some aggravation to the wound. And thanks for taking me on!

That's fine. Honestly, my guy doesn't need much in the way of items, either, but I designed them, so I'd feel bad if I didn't put some of them to use. :p

Welcome, Salone! Your character seems really interesting.

I'm good with starting today, although like Serra, I can't post until later tonight.

Little bit the same for me. I'm a late nighter myself.

Well, we're all set to go. Character profiles are up, first GM post is up, and my character's first post is up. Feel free to jump in whenever you want. :)

Whew. Scribbled this out in class. Basically, his hair is way lighter than in here, and everything that's not colored, beside his skin (face and left shoulder) is black and silver.
