Character Options:


G.A. Priest: You are one of the elite. You help make decisions, and you help guard the colonies. Your life will be spent around other members of the G.A. If you are one of the G.A. you will live in Terra. You may have some sort of “mind” ability, such as reading minds, seeing glimpses of the future, etc. (feel free to get creative)


Bottom Ground Colonist: You may live in any of the cities/towns, and have a job that you choose. Life for you is not easy, but with the G.A. protecting you and governing you, you know that everything will work out. Abilities available to you are anything to do with earth, fire, water, and light. Be creative.


Mid Ground Colonist: You are most likely a bandit or thug, but you may be a merchant or one of the lucky few who are actually “decent”. You have contact with above grounders, but only know rumors of a deep underground colony. Abilities here are generally “human modifiers”. Humans can be abnormally strong, fast, etc.


Above Grounder: You are sly, and smart. You can have contact and even travel to mid-ground, but what you really wish for is to join the underground colony that people gossip about. You want part of the rumored “perfect” life. Above grounders have possibly the most unique set of abilities. Because of the harsh conditions, humans created strange abilities in order to survive. Ability examples would be flying, “elasticity”, teleportation, etc. Anything in order to survive, and be VERY creative.

Appearance: <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_06/anime-girl-4.jpg.a647c384fadf9ddc2e672f81d14d6b63.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="1442" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_06/anime-girl-4.jpg.a647c384fadf9ddc2e672f81d14d6b63.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

[Riddle78]

Name: Malcolm Graves


Age: 28


Sex: Male


Faction: Topsider

Spoiler

Just get rid of the gun. And throw in a kukri under the coat,kept in a sheathe made of a heavily modified pistol shoulder holster.


Stands five foot ten,and weighs 187 pounds.


Personality: Living on the surface has matured Malcolm quickly. He can judge a person's character after a short conversation,and can read body language expertly. He's calm and patient,but he won't hesitate to take any action he needs to,up to and including killing someone. Finally,he considers his friends his wards,and as such will do anything to secure their safety and comfort. To cross him,or his friends,is forfeiture of life.


Ability: Hyperfrequency vibration. Malcolm can vibrate himself and select objects within a very limited range,such as his clothes,kukri,and backpack,as well as a surface he's touching,to vibrate at such a frequency as they might as well be intangible. This can be applied to avoid strikes,to pass through obstacles,or to reduce something to dust. It can even be used as a form of invisibility,as the vibrations are at such a high frequency that all things effected aren't in the same place long enough to be perceived. Only a high-speed video camera,with the footage viewed frame-by-frame,can see a vibrating entity.


Occupation: Hunter and procurement specialist.


Background: Malcolm can be described as average,for a topsider. He's mature,experienced,and holds a very jaded outlook on the world around him. How else can someone who lives up here see a world that seems Hellbent on killing them? He taken it upon himself,early in life,to hunt and scavenge for his people. The tool he was given was a kukri,a long,broad,and thick blade,which pitched forward,making it an ideal utility blade.


Quickly,he earned himself a reputation of being an astounding hunter and gatherer. The rotting hulks of the city surrounding his home colony are committed to Malcolm's memory,and knows how to take down most of the beasts he finds on the surface,as well as which ones are edible,be it immediately or after some amount of processing. He was eventually made into the colony's procurement specialist,and is often sent to the Middle Ground to procure what the colony needs,but can't obtain up top.


But now,Malcolm wonders. Down in the lightless pits,why are people happy? Sure,they're more comfortable,but they're moles. One day,he vowed to himself that he'd find out the answer to that question,and bring it back to his colony.

 

[Miggle]

Riddle78: Accepted! 
Name: Jane Selex


Age: 24


Gender: Female


Location: Top Grounder


Background: Jane was born into the harsh slum of Mid-Ground. She didn't have much choice but to learn how to be tough, and stay tough. Her parents were nothing for her to be proud of- her mother was a prostitute, and her father was a thug. She wasn't born into a loving family, like most people in Mid-Ground. It wasn't long before the kind people of Topside intrigued her, and when she was old enough she left. She went to the top of the world, in hopes that life would be a bit sweeter. It was there that she met a kind, old couple who took her in until she was stable. She now works, scavenging wrecks of the city for useful items to sell back at the colony.


While she appreciates the easier life on topsoil, she still daydreams about life before humanity fell. She often ponders what happened to the "broken ground initiative" that she reads about in the city buildings.


Appearance: <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_06/Jane.jpg.9eb266fd7a8cd2ab39ab628410837be8.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="1448" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_06/Jane.jpg.9eb266fd7a8cd2ab39ab628410837be8.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


(5' 5", 135 lbs)


Personality: Jane is tough, but she isn't out of touch with people. She's a very clever girl who would go out of her way to make a person smile. She worries a lot, so she is constantly under stress.


Ability: Being that Jane was born as a mid-grounder, she has enhanced Acrobatic abilities. She is rather quick, but her skill lies in flexibility, "flips", and "jumps".


Occupation: Jane scavenges the city to sell items back at the market

 

[keizerin]

Name: Eliza "Eli" Morning


Age: 20


Gender: Female


Location: Above Ground


Background: Eli never knew her parents, abandoned at a young age. Instead, she was raised by a man who called himself Morning. He was kind, and the best kind of family she could ever hope for. Together they had scavenged and hunted for food, and even helped each other train their abilities. From time to time, her companion would travel to mid-ground to trade, leaving her nearby on the surface, always telling her that it was safer for her to wait. But, one day Eliza waited and waited for days, but Morning never came back. She feared abandonment and her heart was turned to stone.


Appearance:

Spoiler

Eli's appearance is usually well-hidden underneath her clothes and gas mask, but she had slightly tanned skin and dark brown hair, which is usually tied back into double braids. Her eyes are normally a bluish-green color, but they reflect a similar color as the picture above when she has her gas mask equipped. The reasoning behind this is unknown to her.


Personality: Keeps to herself and is pretty reclusive. She's pretty easy to get along with once you break her shell, but it might take a while. She will get extremely angry when approaching touchy subjects, and is somewhat emotionless. Of course, she is still protective of the friends she does make no matter what, and will do anything to protect them. However, she has trust issues and her greatest fear is being abandoned a third time.


Ability: Spatial Movement, a.k.a. teleportation. She has had plenty of time to practice her abilities, allowing her to transport other people/objects through touch without having to transport herself, as well as being able to teleport into the air at steady intervals in order to simulate a flight ability.


Occupation: None; scavenges for her own benefit

[Spencer]

Name: Collin Farrow


Age: 19


Gender: Male


Location: mid ground


Background: Collin is the youngest of three sons born to the leader of a mid ground bandit clan. Being the youngest, Collin is often stuck with the most gruesome of jobs. He's often sent above ground to trade with the lone colony that stands there, without the benefit of a mask or protective gear. His father also puts him in charge of any hostages the clan may take. Often, the people of middle ground are unable to pay the clan's hefty ransom, so Collin is forced to kill the hostages. His father sees little worth in his youngest, so his family tends to avoid him (aside from the times they bark orders in his direction)


Appearance: Collin is thin and lanky, and doesn't have much muscle mass. His skin is always coated in grime and filth, so he looks very tan for someone who has never seen the sun. His hair is pale brown and messy. He doesn't pay much attention to it, and only cuts it when it begins to block his vision. The one part of his appearance Collin takes pride in is his smile. He may have the most hygienic mouth in all of middle ground.


Personality: despite his violent upbringing and morbid lifestyle, Collin is surprisingly optimistic and pleasant. He loves to joke and tease. He finds comfort in humor, and wields it often. This is another reason his father hates him. He never takes anything seriously.


Ability: Collin is abnormally charismatic. He's extremely persuasive. Though many see his gift as useless, it's saved Collin's life on numerous occasions. His persuasive abilities would make him a fabulous leader, but rarely is he given the chance to lead. He can talk anyone into doing nearly anything (within reason).


Occupation: for right now, Collin is one of his father's many bandit grunts. He's hoping that someday that will change.
