    [An RP set about 60 years after a virus-based apocalypse. You can use up to 4 characters if you wish, and include new creatures that have evolved rapidly from the virus. If you've played Fallout, the creatures may be a bit like that. You may include mutations characters gained from the virus' side effects, but please remain balanced.

    My character:
    Name: Caley Stahl

    Age: 22

    Gender: Male

    Talents/Skills and abilities: Caley is an excellent sniper and semi-auto as well as bolt-action rifleman, although he lacks skill with full auto and smaller weapons, only decent with handguns. To protect himself close range, he's trained himself in multiple melee weapons and some unarmed combat. His mutation allows him to speed up his perception, but also weakens his heart, which slowly heals.

    Appearance:
    • Dirty blond hair, neck length
    • Bluish-Grey hazel eyes
    • Slightly tan skin
    • 6ft tall
    • Slender build
    • Wears a ragged trench coat with leather and kevlar-based armour beneath, over a pair of black jeans and a black t-shirt with black sneakers
    • Has a scar going from 1 cm right of the right corner of his left eye that leads down to his jaw
    Personality: Caley has a morbid sense of humor and seems a bit off at times from his years outside of protection. Despite this, he's often quite easygoing and friendly.

    Background: Growing up outside of the protection with a small group of adults and his father, Caley learnt early on how to protect himself. In an incident when he was 15, a megafaunal lizard [A bit like a deathclaw] attacked and killed the group he was part of. It was about to devour him last when his ability first activated, helping him kill the beast. After the attack he limped out to a settlement that him and his group had passed a few hours before the attack. From then on he took up mercenary work every few months, otherwise traveling around and surviving with what he could.
    ]
    Caley knelt at the top of a ridge, peeking down on the below area with his suppressed Blaser Tactical 2 sniper rifle, safety disengaged and bullets loaded, ready to fire on anything that may be hostile.

    Anyone who was still alive from before the outbreak would remember its sudden effects. Most of the population was wiped out by an unidentified virus, causing worldwide turmoil and an eventual apocalypse. Many of those who weren't killed by the virus thanks to a small difference in genetics often suffered from a variety of mutations, though not always bad ones. Many were minor defects, but a few people benefited from useful mutations like enhanced strength, senses and even outlandish ones like extra limbs and poisonous blood.

    Sighting a rat the size of a dog, Caley focused, holding his breath for a moment before firing. The .308 bullet hit without a hitch, slamming into the rat's skull. "Done." He whispered unconsciously, waiting a moment before pulling back the bolt of his rifle for a moment and then picking up the spent casing before stowing it in a pouch at his hip.

    He slowly made his way down the ridge, rifle in hand in case of any attacks.

    "What the hell?" A voice pierced through the fog.

    Name: Angela Sparks
    Nickname: Sparky
    Mutations: Patches of scaly skin, claws and areas of rotted skin
    Age: 19
    Personality: Quirky, protective, awkward.

    Appearance: Me (see avatar) with the mutations mentioned earlier.

    Attire: Light grey vest top, dark grey baggy jumpsuit tied around the waist, heavy boots, long black ribbon tied around the right arm. (Like a darker version of what Chell wears in Portal)

    A figure appeared from the fog, slowly approaching. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

    A girl emerged from the fog. She looked fairly normal, other than the patches of scaly skin dotted all over her body, including over one eye. Her left hand had large, black claws and her shoulder looked as though it was rotting away.

    "Oh." She looked down at the rat. "You were hunting. I heard the gunshot and assumed... Sorry, I thought you were someone else. I don't suppose you've seen a little girl?"

    Jay froze, hearing a gunshot. They looked up, listening for any sign of danger. A guy with dirty blonde hair stood up, holding a rifle. Jay stared, their enhanced vision picking out the odd bulges in his coat that meant armor, the blue and gray in his eyes, miniscule scar stretching down his cheek. A girl emerged from the fog and the two conversed. They were too far away for Jay to hear, but they picked out a few phrases: "What the hell" "gunshot and assumed..." "little girl?" Jay stood up, their tail twitching.

    My character:
    Name: Jay
    Age: 20
    Gender: No
    Appearance: Brown, shaggy hair, green eyes that are slitted like a cat's, long brown tail, slender, long and sharp nails, about 5 feet tall. Wears ripped jeans, a dark green shirt, and gray combat boots. Scar on their left arm.
    Abilities: Heightened vision, speed, claw-like nails, excellent with knives and guns.
    Personality: Jay doesn't speak too much, resulting in their voice sounding crackly whenever they start to speak. They prefer to hunt alone instead of in a group and are hesitant to converse with anyone. They are very serious at times, but know how to have a good time.
    Background: Parents were killed by a group of people when they were young. This caused their distrust of other people. They had a brother, but he disappeared two years ago and has been gone ever since.

    The moment the figure spoke, Caley had whipped his rifle to aim at the girl's leg, ready to shoot. He lowered his rifle again and looked the figure, a girl, up and down.

    "No little girl. Just me and a dead rat." He replied, tilting his head and looking her in the eyes. "Mutations?" He asked, referring to the visible differences between her and a regular human. He asked it casually, used to it. Sadly, he was used to people who believed that they were better because of less intense and less visible mutations.

    Jay continued to watch as the two spoke. The girl had patches of scales on her body, probably from some mutation. A twig snapped next to Jay and they swung their head in the direction of the noise. A lizard about the size of Jay's forearm stood there, watching them. Ooh, dinner, they thought. After a few seconds of tension, they pounced, faster than the lizard could react to, and sliced the lizard's head off. Unluckily, that pounce had made a pretty loud noise and Jay winced, knowing the two must have heard. They scooped the lizard into heir mouth and hid behind a large rock, heart beating.

    Angie looked down at her claws and gasped. "When did that happen?" She laughed. "I'm Angie. Sparky, if you like. Who are you?"

    Her eyes shot wide open as she heard the sound of an animal pouncing. Something about that sound made her uneasy. She turned, to see a figure hunched over in the distance.

    Name: Leighton A
    Gender: male
    Nickname: Finch
    Age: 16

    Skill/talents: Finch is skilled at knife fighting and close combat weapontry, but can't use a gun to save his life. His mutation gives him the ability to smell toxic fumes that most people couldn't. The side effect to this is he has terrible lungs and his blood can't clot well.

    Appearance: brown long hair with both sides of his head shaved, brown eyes and muscular . He wears a vintage gas mask with the hose attaching to his belt and riot gear. There's a knife any where he can fit one, as well as a few grenades.
    Backround: he lost most of his family at a young age and was taken in my war lords. He ran away after realizing what atrocities the group had committed.

    (Don't know how to make the spoiler drop down menu sorry lol )

    Finch turned around quickly at the sound of a gun shot, he took a minute to think. He saw a blonde headed man and a women. They seemed to be talking to one another, some thing he hadn't seen in a while. He slowly moved closer and hid behind some rubble.

    Jay peeked out from the rock and stood face-to-face with the guy.
    "Hi." He said. Jay spit out the lizard and put it into their backpack, then stared at him. Caley Stahl, he had said. Jay didn't know a Caley.

    "Caley Stahl, part time mercenary and full time killer." He grinned and laughed as well before hearing movement nearby. He instantly snapped to attention running over and getting ready to take hold of his ability. He ran to the area, slinging the rifle onto his back and pulling out two claw-bladed knives and looking around carefully. He noticed the decapitated liard head on the ground and looked about, his eyes falling upon a rock.
    He quickly turned the corner to come face-to-face with yet another girl.

    "Hi." He said, his perception accelerating for him to move back. Even for a second, the feeling in his chest was noticeable.

    "Odd way of eating. I'm Caley. You?" He asked without a hint of surprise, waving Angela over. One gets over things faster when their mind starts processing everything faster.

    When finch saw the third person pop out and heard what could be a laugh he decided it was safe. He leaped up from the rubble and yelled "Hello!" While frantically waving one arm in the air.

    Jay didn't say anything. Instead, they sniffed Caley and the girl, then hissed and stepped backwards, jumping onto all fours. They had weapons on them, especially Caley. A lot of weapons. And that rifle looked pretty menacing. Their tail twitched.

    ---------- Post added 17th Dec 2015 at 11:50 AM ----------

    Jay jumped sideways as the guy jumped out from the rubble and hissed again, then tore across the ground, running for the forest. Too many people, too many threats.

    Right as the feral seeming person hissed, Caley was using his accelerated perception and spinning around to aim at the sudden arrival. "What is this, a party?" He asked, speaking almost unintelligibly fast. As he lowered his gun, he turned back to see the feral-ish person run off. "Odd." He said at a regular pace.

    When Jay reached the forest, they stopped running and stood on all fours again, hiding behind a tree. They were pretty far from the group of people, but they were still close enough to see them. The third guy had brown hair and wore a large gas mask on his face. He looked pretty muscular and Jay could see bulges in his clothes. They took out their handgun and aimed, ready to defend themself if one of the people chased after them.

    As finch approached the group He saw one of them run off on all four towards the tree line. "Yes I do believe this is a party, finch is the name." He said with a smile (even though you can't see it) and took a bow. When Jay pulled out a hand gun and pointed it at him, He dived into some rubble.

    Jay watched as the new guy looked in their direction and dove into a pile of rubble. He could see them? Great. They hid behind the tree, listening for footsteps coming towards them.

    Name: Lilith, D-071
    Age: 23
    Gender: female
    Appearance: red medium-long hair tied into a ponytail, wears a shirt and jeans and a cloak made from animal skins. Wears a black cloth over her eyes, and back and arms are covered in tattoos. Carries her katana at her side.
    Abilities: Heightened hearing, good with blades and knowledgeable about languages
    Background: When she was still 'human', Lilith was a rebel who ran away from home at a young age. Shortly after the virus hit, she was captured by a scientist and because a human guinea pig to test the virus's cure. She managed to escape a few months later, but the testing had made her blind and gave her heightened hearing.

    She stepped slowly towards the group, arms raised in surrender. "I am not a threat." She then smiled at the group, despite the gun pointed in her face-she couldn't tell, but she did hear the disarming click of the safety. "Lilith. Killing me will be of no use to you."
