The Recovery (Full world reboot) - (Reboot) - [M]

The Recovery

Hey guys, welcome to the reboot of the short lived Recovery RP.
So here is the world:
Standard Earth with a bunch of crap. Think close to fallout 4 USA, but less radiation, as many if not more and different mutations and experiments. Over all, very similar circumstance with factions everywhere such as raiders, scavengers, and other's similar to Minute men, BoS, and more. But not the same. You may also compare it to other post-apocalyptic games, movies, and books like Mercadies Lackey's Hunter Trilogy that I like.

The main point of civilization is a huge city with smaller towns surrounding it. The city is known as New Civic. This city, the surrounding towns, and other settlements surrounding and farther away are part of The Recovery Coalition. The Recovery is really a military like group working on recovering lost ground. Securing and resettling old civilization and such.

There are other races besides humans that may be played. They are a result of many things, like mutations, genetic experimentation, and the like. Some rummers have spread that some may have come from other worlds.
There is also a level of magic, but it's not very common. Because of such, there is little known about what allows people to use magic and how it is done. New things are being discovered by scientists and mages alike concerning the matter.

But, as a whole, the only ones with any real power is The Recovery Coalition and a few other factions around the old USA that anyone knows of. The RC (Recovery Coalition) has regained certain industrial capabilities, providing them with transportation and weaponry. They may do trade with outlaying settlements not under the coalition for supplies they need in order to keep running their stuff thought.
The RC is also not the only ones capable of making weapons and ammo, so equal fire power is a total possibility and an issue when you're in a land convoy to a settlement and get ambushed by raiders.

Please note: you do not need to be part of The RC. You, as a group, are free to choose to be in the military, a local settlement militia, civilians, scavengers, or another faction all together. But, I want it to be a group choice. If the majority want's to be another faction, we are going to be that other faction.

With that said

Spoiler: here are the rules 

1. This RP is rated M for graphic violence and possible substance abuse. I am doing this so people have freedom of expression. But, if you want to do some smut, please do it in PMs.

2. No power playing. I don't want you being able to do everything. I don't want to see you controlling other people's characters. None of that. you control your character, and only your own. If I see you trying to control another character, you get one warning before you're booted.
This also includes killing another character without their permission, not getting hit, and other stuff. You're not OP, you're gonna take some damage in a fight.

3. No fighting. No fighting with the DM, the players, or anything. If you have a problem, keep it out of the RP. Get it resolved and over with. If nothing works out, talk to and admin or something. I'm not going to put up with that crap here.

4. As noted earlier, if the majority wants to be in a different faction, we're going to be that faction. This is set up so that you are part of The RC, but you don't have to be in the majority says otherwise.

5. Going with rule #3 here. No fighting with the DM. If you have a problem, bring it to me respectfully. But my word is law. If I messed up, great, I'll deal with it. But don't argue with me about every little thing.

6. Character creation.
- Use the sheet provided
- Only so many people can use magic or other abilities
- Us the Other section to show off your charatcer, and your roleplaying skills. I don't want a list of stuff or some notes, I want a scene of your character doing something.
- For the rest, follow what's on the sheet.

7. I will not be keeping track of equipment. Just use common sense.

I have the right to change, add, or remove anything on this list.

The Recovery IC

I’m interested in joining, and I’ve got a character idea in mind, but they aren’t exactly a human, elf, or beastkin. My idea basically goes that either before the impending apocalypse or sometime during, a group of half-mad scientists/mages created a “perfect human” built to withstand the harsh environment. In truth, they were only half-human. They could transform from human into a species of dinosaur.

What do you think? Is that okay?

[Highland Sniper]

A bit much.
I'm ok with some sort of low level shifter, like a skinwalker from Pathfinder or shifter from 5e
but I think your idea may be a little much.
It would also be counted as a magic ability.

[Yggdrasil_Hugger]

Alright. I do want to keep the dinosaur aspect without going halfway, if you know what I mean. If I need to, they can be just a run-of-the-mill human otherwise. And the dinosaur I had in mind was Utahraptor, not like T. rex or Triceratops or anything huge like that.

[Enigma]

Name: Jasmine


Age: 23


Gender: Female


Race: Morlock, a primative subterranian species that dwells in caves, will only venture out onto the surface on dark nights. Preys on lone travelers or helpless children.


Racial traits/abilities: Dark skin, bat ears (enhanced hearing), darkvision (can see up to 30 feet in pitch darkness), claws and pointed teeth.


Skills and abilities: (stuff you're REALLY good at just for being you. Max of 4) Knowledge: arcana; Knowledge: herbology; healing (first aid), Sewing.


Magical or other ability: Conjuration - can produce manifestations of creatures, energy or objects, and object creation. Mage hand, produce flame, entangle, fog cloud, healing spirit


Description:


Personality: Morlocks are typically killed on sight, so she has to hide herself by keeping herself hooded and covered so that only her eyes show.


B: Parents were seen hiding themselves in a collapsed house, villagers surrounded the structure and set it alight. One of the morlocks pushed the baby out of a small hole to get it to safety. Villagers decided to sell it to one of the local mages. Jasmine was raised under his protection and educatated, but in truth she was more of a study subject.


Personal Equipment:
Carries a pouch with bandages and herbal medicines, tinder box, a pin case, a journal, ink and quills, a compass, and pen knife.

Spoiler: Other: 

They brought the baby to the tower of the Spark Lord Librarian, whose tower was lit by strange glass globes that glowed with a painful light greater than a candle's flame, powered by the ancient generators. The same generators that protected the village with a fence that spat sparks and burned any who touched it. Servants let them into the library while they fetched him, so they could marvel at the shelves of books his family had also protected, patiently copying and rebinding them into new books to carry their contents forward into the next generation.


"So," the Spark Lord asked as he limped into the room, his cane clattering on the stones as he walked. "What have you brought me to see? Well? Don't just stand there, put it down on the table!"


"Dark creatures, milord," said the hunter, putting his hand on the shoulder of the Baker's wife, silently urging her to lay down the squirming bundle, wrapped in a shaw.


"Dark creatures, you say?" he muttered, unwrapping the baby. It was not like any of the children of the village, with pointed ears and tiny claws at the end of its fingers. "Where did you find this?"
"Down by the old mill, Old Bill saw two creatures crawl into the wreckage of the house there. Monsterous they were, milord. Fell beasts, to be sure. He alerted the village and we went there with torches and set the old house on fire to drive them out, but they either got trapped inside or did not dare venture out. But we found her, by a hole in the wall."
"Old Bill is a paranoid old bat, he should have alerted me to come," the Spark Lord scowled. "We'll have to sift the ashes for their remains."
"Do you know what species this creature is, milord?" the Baker's wife asked.
"I believe I do. Attendant, bring me... oh, what is his name... Wells! H. G. Wells! The Time Machine!"
"A time machine, milord?"
"You're well aware the ancients possessed many artifacts of unusual ability. This was clearly one. Ah, thank you." He flipped through the pages and stopped. "As I feared. This is a 'Morlock'."


The crowd gasped.


"A subterranian species who were once men themselves. Foul cannibals that prey on the surface dwellers."
"Shall we kill it, then?"
"Kill it? I should say not! I need time to study this creature! Once it's full grown and I have determined I have learned all I can of its abilities, then I'll have it dissected. In the meantime, we need to alert the people far and wide of this new threat."


The crowd mummered and nodded at the wiseness of their Spark Lord.

@SaltyIrishman;
I'm not sure about that. You could be a beast tamer, and we could turn part of the USA into an ARK Survival because of some experiment that got out. So you could have a pet dino.
But I don't think I'll allow you to go full dino yourself.

@Enigma;
I Think it's ok.
Because you were raised by humans, I don't think you have the same cannibalistic tendencies. And unless your face is really disfigured, I don't think it'll be much trouble around a lot of the Recovery Unit, since it's a bunch of different races that are also bestial.
And not everyone is gonna like that you're a mercenary.

[Yggdrasil_Hugger]

Alright. That’s cool. Utahraptors are better mounts than horses because horses can’t eat your enemies. I’ll get to work on a character sheet.

[Highland Sniper]

Make sure to add beast tamer to your skills

[Enigma]

@Highland Sniper; keep in mind that the reason she's been identified as a Morlock was because the Spark Lord Librarian took the Time Machine book seriously. It doesn't help that a distorted drawing of her face is what they put on the warning posters. And by mercenary, really it's more like "Help for hire" - and mostly what the villagers are looking to hire is someone to take care of the creatures attacking them.

[Highland Sniper]

ok then
so, big misunderstandings
and who knows who is really gonna make a connection between a bad drawing and your fine face.
