MT RP Follow-Up: Post Apocalpyse
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 4:02 pm
This is a continuation of the Modern Times RP. However, I want it to be a little more restrictive last time, so we're going to assume the story in the Modern Times RP took place in the '90's, without any super-advanced human technology. (The alien invasion still happened.) Feel free to make new characters. Up ahead is a paragraph quickly explaining the end of the modern times RP (which was never finished) by jumping ahead to the final battle I wanted to do before the RP just kind of went ka-chlunk. It also explains my current character. (Note, it's a little lengthy, so you might want to skip it ahead to the current RP if you want to play.)
"Go, go, go!" Torrin yelled out as the Breach time hit the side of the Chimeran flagship Altimus. The Burrower Pod drilled through the hull and opened into a small corridor on the ship. The 10 soldiers leaped out in advanced armor that covered them head-to-toe, designed specifically to protect against the energy weapons of the Chimera. Damien pulled out a grenade and chucked it up the hallway before finding cover with the rest of the crew. "5... 4... 3... 2... 1..." he mouthed off silently. As expected, the response time of the Chimeran Marines on board was fast and they arrived quickly. Damien smacked the detonator and the grenade ripped through the armor of the Marines, cuing the rest of the Allies to swarm forward and take out the stragglers.
They advanced into a bigger room which was vacant. There were three doors leading off to the left and a larger corridor moving straight ahead. Three soldiers deviated off to the left doors and kicked them down. "Clear!" "Clear!" "Cl- Shit!" Gunfire echoed in the hallway as a soldier went flying back and a Marine stepped out with a Splitter rifle, firing it and hitting three more soldiers before falling to the gunfire. "Bunker Six, this is Delta leader!" a huge dog growled. "Brig, Jones, Hale, and Stevenson were wiped out. Remaining Delta Marines: Torrin, Damien, Nixon, Jeff, David, and Jack. Advancing into quadrant Foxtrot." "Copy that, Delta leader... brace for impact, surgical strike teams moving in!" The soldiers crouched down and grabbed the walls and in three seconds the whole ship shook. They rolled forward and tried kicking down the door leading to the mid of the ship, but it was heavily reinforced. "Nixon, get up here with that C-4!" Jack commanded as he moved aside with the crew.
The door was wired and then blasted open, but before the smoke even cleared, Delta Team was greeted with a hail of gunfire. They all successively rammed into Nixon who flew back from the sheer force, even though they hadn't penetrated his armor. Jeff and David swung out to return fire when two missiles shot out from the guns' smoke and impacted the walls, sending them hurtling back even further then Nixon. Neither of the three stirred. "Probably alive but unconscious. We can't risk moving into that hallway." Damien said as they braced against more gunfire, occasionally returning a gunshot. "No... you can't. I can." Torrin said as he drew out a small knife and held it in his left hand, his gun in the right.
He leaped out into the hallway before Jack could stop him and unleashed a hail of gunfire followed by a grenade that wiped out most of the Marines. "I can't see a damn thing!" Jack growled as he tried peering into the smoke. "Can't cover him from here..." Meanwhile inside, Torrin was ripping up the Chimerans, and had already whittled down their numbers to about a half a dozen when a splitter round fired out from a smoke filled corner. He dodged it, but it was followed quickly by about three more, two of which caught him in mid-air. He hurtled back against the hull, but just before he hit it, whirled in the air and threw the knife, hitting a Marine squarely in the face. My final kill... he thought as he hit the hull so hard it left a dent, and fell down unconscious.
The two remaining Chimera thought he was the last of Delta and moved clear into view of Damien and Jack as the smoke cleared, unaware they were about to be gunned down. Until it happened. The pair rushed into the mid of the ship. "Only the bridge left to go, we've gotten most of the Chimera probably." Damien said. Jack went over to check Torrin's pulse. "He's alive, but out. We need to advance." He picked up Torrin's grenades and unpinning all of them, threw them against the bridge door before hitting the floor. They blew simultaneously, emulating the effects of the C-4 enough to blow the door out.
This time, Damien and Jack didn't wait to be at a disadvantage and leaped up to immediately fire through the smoke, killing the weapon equipped Chimera instantly. They moved through and forced the pilots up and over against the door before putting a bullet in their skulls. "Can you fly this thing?" Damien asked Jack as he put his weapon down. The Altimus was the largest ship of the Chimeran forces, save for the Omega which was the same size. They planned to use the Altimus to destroy the Omega, getting rid of the other Chimeran leader. "Yeah, it looks simple enough. You get the weapons." Jack said sitting onto the main pilot seat.
He turned the ship around and set the coordinates for the ground battle where the Allies were struggling against the Chimeran forces. "My God. Nothing but troops and blood for miles and miles." Damien gaped looking through the weapons control panel. "Ready?" Jack said. Damien nodded and Jack stabilized the craft. "Aiming all current Spire missiles at Chimeran forces..... launch in 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..." Hundreds of missiles, which there were three types of, flew out the top of the Altimus and gained altitude, settling in groups high in the sky. "Auto-targeting Ion Spire collections A, B, and C at legion Gamma. Ion Spire collections D, E, and F aiming towards legion Sigma. Exothermic Spire bays A, B, and C being aimed at the Mother Legion Epsilon."
The missiles dropped towards Earth in a pattern, striking the ground and destroying dozens of miles of Chimeran troops. "Delta Leader to Bunker Six, we've used 3/4 of all missiles to impact the ground units. Should make the fighting a bit easier. Now targeting Omega." "Copy that, Delta leader." The Omega hadn't even anticipated the hijack of Altimus and the radar wouldn't pick up the friendly spires. "Launching Exothermic Spire bays D, E, and F at Flagship Omega!" Damien said as he pounded the launch key. Dozens of the Spires shot out and impacted the Omega seconds later, traveling at speeds in exceed of mach 4. The other Chimeran flagship went down and crashed into the earth, exploding in a sight that was seen for miles.
"Alright, we've got em now!" bunker six radioed in. "Wait... we're picking up something on radar...!" "What's wrong?" Jack growled. "I don't believe it. It looks like a Spire coming out from space but that thing is huge! It's over a mile long! If it has a direct ratio output of a regular Spire's power, that thing will cover a 3,000 square mile radius in direct contact and the fallout will probably loop around Earth! Get out of there, I'm warning the ground units, this is a last ditch effort of a superweapon! They've implemented MAD class firepower!" "Oh. Shit." Damien said looking blankly up into space- the huge form could already be seen falling down outside the atmosphere.
Jack turned the Altimus around without hesitation and started firing up the engines to max speed, but even so, the Megaspire impacted the Earth just as the Altimus began accelerating. The explosion was instantaneous. There was no sound anywhere- the sonic boom knocked out the hearing of everyone on Earth for a few seconds. Jack dared himself a look as the ship accelerated faster, now a hundred miles away. There was a huge globe of fire that looked like a mushroom cloud curling onto itself and then coming up again, and it got taller. And taller. And taller. It looped into a circle and then expanded a little before imploding onto itself, becoming as small as a dot.
"Supernova!" Jack shouted at Damien, but there was no sound in the aircraft. The dot suddenly expanded and they could see North America suddenly annihilated by the huge blast. The ship was still in the highest layer of Earth's atmosphere as the huge sphere of fire came forward and breached through the atmosphere engulfing the whole ship and turning off the engines. It swept in suddenly, disintegrating the bottom of the aircraft, and then, it was gone. Just as fast. Soundlessly the ship fell back to Earth. Jack pounded the engine throttles again and again and again, and just a mile above ground, he was able to jumpstart the engines, slowing down the ship enough that the fall wouldn't be lethal, but it impacted Earth all the same and rolled over and over again. It finally stopped.
New Story Starts Here
Prologue: 75% of Earth's population was wiped out by the blast. About 30,000 people actually survived and did not mutate. The rest did. This means we have about 1.8 billion mutants running around compared to 30,000 people. That's a 1 to 60,000 ratio of human to mutant. Well, obviously we're a little screwed at this point.
Rules
1: No advanced weaponry. This is in modern times and all advanced weapons have been destroyed. Your gun must exist in real life.
2: No anthros. Uhm, they were all wiped out. That and it just kind of confuses things.
3: This is meant to be realistic. We're not going to find a few weapons and Leeroy Jenkins a bunch of mutants. This is meant to be a kind of survival scenario RP where we're looking for survivors and supplies.
4: The fact I used "Fallout" in the explanation and that this is similar to the plot of the Fallout games is a coincidence.
5: I hope David and Jeff aren't mad at me for killing them in the huge wall of text that was the end of the other RP.
6: No RP'ing others' characters.
7: None of this "I'm going to start the RP in a gunshop with lots of food and a Mr. I'mAwesomeMcCoolyPants character." No. The end of the world happened a few hours ago.
8: You've got to find most weapons. The majority of people don't have huge guns at their homes, I'd accept finding a handgun or something inside your house, or a hunting rifle if you make a guy who's a, well, hunter.
9: No God modes.

The Weapons System
As opposed to having infinite ammo, I'd like to use an ammo system I tried out in an earlier RP that was pretty popular. You separate values by a slash and a hyphen that shows how much ammo you have in a gun. Current Bullets In Clip / Max Bullets In A Given Clip - Clips Available
So... a pistol loaded with 7 bullets in a clip out of 14 total bullets and 2 extra clips available to the user would show as 7/14-2. It'll take a page or two to get used to but it's pretty simple.
Name: Damien
Age: 24
Equipment: Partially cracked battle armor
Appearance: 5'10, wearing what looks like a black suit of SWAT armor but thicker.
Primary Weapon: None found so far.
Secondary Weapon: Glock: 17/17-3
Tertiary Weapon: Combat knife.
Damien rolled over as the alarm went off on his wristwatch. He was wearing a white tee, jeans, and sneakers, a casual set of clothes. His old ratty armor stood against a wall, the combat knife and pistol hanging on it. He had taken all the glass out the helmet completely and sewn up a few holes roughly to make it usable again. It was comfy enough that he could slip it on over his current set of clothes but still cumbersome enough that he took it off when he slept. It was now six AM and dawn was close approaching. The mutants didn't enjoy sunlight; it wasn't directly lethal to them, but due to a paling effect that the fallout had caused, their skin didn't provide even a tenth of the normal amount of protection against the rays. As a result, heavy light burned them painfully if they stayed out for long periods of time.
Damien had watched the looting happen and had had to scramble through to get what little supplies he had. He knew how to make a weapon or two from the supplies he had and he had gathered up a huge stock of nonperishable food, enough to last him a year. He encountered mutants every now and then but tried to stay clear of them. He had already found a map set for the city he was in. It showed major roads, buildings, and the like, and he had been able to acquire a full set that included smaller, more heavily detailed maps of different area codes. It was a prized possession. His day consisted of moving out at dawn, looting houses and sometimes daring to go into the industrial area. The tall buildings of the cities provided shade and cover for mutants, and they often lurked not too far in the covered buildings. Electricity no longer worked, so it was extremely dark in buildings without windows. The industrial area was the only place, however, with gun shops and other utility stores that held potential weapons.
He moved through a suburb slowly, knocking on doors of well-lit houses and then looking through the windows to look for inhabitants if there was no response. He found one house with the front door open and a corpse in the frame, a 50-some year old man clutching a hunting rifle. His torso had been ripped away and eaten recently- he had obviously tried to outrun mutants and failed. Damien looked around. They were probably in the house or nearby. He picked off the rifle and quickly moved through the man's supplies, finding a box containing ammunition for it.
Glock: 17/17-3
Rifle: 10/10-2
It is helpful if you post your ammo in each post, which is why it helps to only have two weapons with bullets.
