RP: Earth in Anarchy (PG 15+)

[SamuraiMaster]

We were warned throughout the ages that it would happen....

Since the new millenia people have dreaded them, while others praised them...

With them, we built the tallest buildings, invented the best technology, even went to the stars...

Now...all that remains of our diplomancy with them...is the memory...which we all wish was gone as well...

The year was 2306.
Humanity was just celebrating the new year. That's when they came. Out of the sky came ships of gold. Out of those ships, and in front of many awed people, came the aliens. They came in peace.

The humans...took the bait. For 5 years, they worked with us. They helped us settle Mars, they helped us with our architecture and our technology...then they abandoned us...

We didn't know why...but we were soon to find out.

Roughly a week after they left, all machinery they helped us build, every robot, every computer system, turned against us. All power around the Earth, was gone. The Earth went into an indefinate blackout. Hospitals failed, millions died. Even the robots we had built, attacked us.

How? The aliens who helped us...had used the five years with us..to hatch a plan of conquest. They suceeded in this plan. They hacked into our systems and turned every bit of machinery we used against us. We were forced to go back to how it was without them, using everything from gasoline to solar energy. But it wasn't enough, for the machines were savage.

We defend ourselves day and day again. We can only hope that the machines will stop their attack soon...but it won't.

The war against the machines has begun, and when it is over, another war will begin...one that should have been fought 5 years ago.

Well this is something i can enjoy to the fullest! I'm in my high school's JROTC program (Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps) and have had the time of my life in it, s othis could be fun!

Name: Tyler "Ty" McPhee
Gender:
Age:
Class: Navy, can i be an NCIS Agent??
Weapon: Jericho 941 F (DA) 9mm, knife tucked in boot
Personality: Ty is an easy going smooth talker. Or was. After the machine attack, Ty took his job AND life alot more seriously, beginning to concentrate more on the job at hand and less at the pretty girl in the next cubicle in the office. He is a tad cocky and brags a little too much, but is well liked because his mistakes are taken as jokes and make his colleagues laugh.
Background: Ty decided that he wanted to join the Navy when he was a Freshman in High School. He joined a JROTC program because he really had no clue on the history of the Navy or anything really related to it. He just knew that he wanted to serve the country and protect it on the frontlines. He made a bad choice.

his first day at Paris Island, the bootcamp hell, changed his mind so drastically that he dropped the Navy altogether. He decided to work closer to home, and used his JROTC experience to become an NCIS Agent. This was definetly a better choice for him. It was a more free-flow environment, while he still got to bust some heads and protect the American people. that changed the day the machines fought back.

At his cubicle during the first attack, Ty's computer wigged out and began to delete files of cases he had worked in the past. When he reached for the phone to call the Director of the unit, the cord (older phone) wrapped around his arm and began to cut off circulation. He used his knife to cut it off, while giving him a nice scar that would form in a week or two, and darted out of the building. What he saw was horendous. Electrical appliances, computers, even cell phones were literally attacking people. He was able to get to his house and bike to his Aunt Gina's, whom always said "that darned tech would kill us all one day." Her neighbors thought she was crazy, but then they probably wished they listened to her and threw out their technology like Gina did.

He now goes to various towns and cities, still fufiling his dream by helping whoever he can by vringing supplies or shooting down a stray Dell.
Appearence when out of Uniform: Out of uniform is pretty much always for Ty, since NCIS Agents usually only have an over-jacket and possibly a bulletproof vest. He keeps his hair short for the most part, without it passing his ears but still long enough to comb and blow dry a flip in the front. He usually wears a t-shirt and jeans with one or two rips in them, always carries his gun, and his boots always hold a knife.

looks interesting...

Name: Takami Haru
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Class: Independant
Weapon: Varies. Usually moderatly archaic - will discribe in detail later.
Personality: A bit of a free spirit, even in these troubled times, Haru is the best example of a survivor. This is because his parents were "Hippies", but not in the old pre-2000 sense, doing 'drugs' and 'smoking pot'... whatever those are. He can look at any situation, this one included, with a cool head, and devise a plan of attack, or defense. Even if that plan is a 'stragetic retreat'. He can, however, lose his cool from time to time, especially in desperate situations. Aside from that, he can be the voice of reason when needed, if anyone would trust him, that is. Since he's not a part of any military forces, he dosn't get much respect from those that are, and even those that aren't.

Background: Haru is a mechanic. His parents used to teach him about the old computers and machenery of the 20th and 21st centuries. Modems and circutboards are his friends. And it's come in handy. His computers are so old, it's completely and totally impossible for him to get a virus, or be hacked, while still allowing him access to the internets. But anyways, back to the background. Haru spent nearly his entire life learning to use circuitboards and old programming systems, and he's gotten good enough so that he's ended up building his own weapons. While they may not be as advanced as modern day ones, they still crush robots just the same.

Appearence when out of Uniform: Since he dosn't wear a uniform to begin with, He can usually be found wearing overalls that are slid off his shoulders, held on with a belt. Baggy legs by the way, for keeping him cool, or warm if needed. Wearing steel-toed combat boots under these for added protection, from bolth dropped projects, and electirc shock. Above his waist he wears a crimson white muscle shirt that shows off well-defined abs from constantly working on large projects before this all began, and even after. Tribal-looking tattoos adorn his arms and shoulders, along with his face, not that you'd see those. He constantly wears a black muffler and a helmet that looks like it belongs in a museum. (it's a motorcycle helmet, complete with goggles) Underneith that is long, flowing platinum hair and gold eyes.

Weaponry:

"atomic" Knuckles: A large pair of insulated gauntlets for close-range machine combat, that can give off a devistating electromagnetic shock that is able to fry a robot's processing hardware should they come in contact with one of these 40 lb gloves.

Light refraction & manipulation tech weapons: - Scyth/bow&arrows/sword/shield: For use only during the day-time, these weapons harness solar energy at it's most basic level, creating solid blades and surfaces out of pure light. Once the sun goes down though, they're just pretty decorations for your grave.

[1: Scyth - an extendable pole that can manipulate light into a long curved 'blade' at one end.]

[2: Bow & arrows - a bow that can reflect, redirect, and manipulate light into a thin 'beam' of pure destruction. It's more of a rennosaunce laser than anything else.]

[3: Sword - like the scyth, but the handle dosn't extend and the blade is straight.]

[4: Shiled - A wristband of sorts that creates a disk of solid light on the wearers arm, successfully blocking most laser and physical weaponry.]


Bio-mech Battle suit: Inspired by one of the worlds most long-running comics in the history of man, IronMan, This is a fully wearable suit made of metal from a meteorite that crashed down shortly before the aliens double crossed the planet. It seems impervious to all their weaponry, along with most of ours, once it's been purified atleast. Taking it from an ancient website he discovered while reaserching the names of metals so he could give it a proper terran name, he stumbled across one that had similar properties. Protodermis. The suit is equipped with limited flight capabilities and moderatly-advanced weapons systems, it is still run by 21st century technology. Powering it however, has become easy with modern power supplies. The micro-generator in it's chest constantly recharges of its own accord whenever the suit is taken off. This is Haru's ultimate weapon, but it's a bit cumborsome and hard to move in on the ground at times, the generator also runs out of juice after long battles and the ammo for some of the weapons will need to be recharged every so often. It's also a bit of a b*tch to get off.

Other: Haru's workshop/home is 6 miles underground, underneith a, iron mountain range at that, making it almost completely impossible for even the most advanced scanners to locate.


hope that's alright.

Sci-fi much?? :D
^I would so team up with your character!!

 

[SamuraiMaster]

Good stuff comin in, both characters accepted!

 

[Cobalt36]

Good stuff comin in, both characters accepted!

Sweet! Can't wait!

I suppose that means the NCIS thing is okay?? :P

 

[SamuraiMaster]

Yeah it's kool

Hopefully we'll get at least two more people...if not we may jus start then allow late comers...we'll see how it plays out...

 

[SilverTail]

alright. This IS the future, so I figured they'd have developed some reflective/refractive light weaponry before the aliens arrived (early photonic technology of sorts) so, hey. it all works.
