*claims spot that she saved*

Name: Victoria (Named after the city she was found in)
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Race: Human… *drum roll please* but she has been feeling “different” lately.
Appearance: She has long golden hair, which is soft and flows in gentle curls that give her a timeless appeal, she has bright blue eyes. Despite her medium height she’s tough and athletic.
Personality: She’s a strong willed person but she generally shies away from human relationships because of memory loss. Deep down she wants to be loved and accepted. She's a survivor and people often mistake her for being a mutant because of confidence and outward strength plus she has an ease with being with mutants, she always belongs. She is a natural when it comes to fight but she's never used a gun, at least not that she can remember. She's more of a grab-the-rock-closest-and-aim-for-the-head kind of person.
History: When she was 17 she was found by Bobby ‘Sir’ Farbor wandering the ruined streets of Victoria BC. She was naked and badly beaten and he, along with the other mutants, nursed her back to health. She‘s been with them ever since.
She has no memory of her past, or why she was in Victoria.
Her age has only ever been assumed, on her right wrist she had a tattoo of 17 tallies, and she looked about that age at the time. She added to those tallies as the years went by.
There was also tattoos on her the bottom of her feet, listing off a few cities and names, and a military looking tattoo, a number, on the back of her neck which nobodies ever seen because she wears her hair down. She’s never been able to link these to her past.
She’s been known to have a horrible memory and continuously forgets important things like her name. She even has troubles remembering people close to her.
Other: Somebody should teach her how to use a weapon.
UP FOR LOVE
NEEDS SOMEBODY TO WATCH OUT FOR HER BECAUSE OF HER MEMORY LOSS!

Victoria

I loved watching the sunrise. When I turned 18 I began to bribe my closest friends into taking me on their patrols, anything to help. I’d find myself staring as the sun slowly rose over the ruined horizon - the natural beauty of it left me breathless. The sky was the only thing about earth that was left unharmed, it was the one thing that calmed me.
The only difference with watching the sunrise today was that I just watched eight mutants, eight of my closest friend, get murdered on our patrol last night, and I couldn’t remember it. I couldn’t help bring the thing that did it to justice!
If Bobby knew I was out here now, watching the sunrise, he’d probably have me locked in my apartment for good.

I rocked back and forth, my legs crossed as I stopped to examine my tattoos, twenty-four tallies on my right wrist, twenty-four years I’ve lived, and I’ve forgotten a better part of the first seventeen.


“OVER HERE!” A worried voice echoed from the distant, my flesh felt clammy, sweat trickled off my back. My hair knotted and tangled around dirt and blood, covered the one-half of my naked body but the rest of me was left vulnerable. I curled up, ashamed, hiding myself so nobody could see.
Scanning through my mind I tried to figure out what happened to me, who I was - nothing made sense, my mind was scattered and scared.

The once hurried feet came to an abrupt spot. I closed my eyes, trying to make myself invisible.
Please just go away, please, please, please! I thought as I tightened my muscles, prepared for some kind of painful impact.

A long warm jacket was placed around me, and a man picked me up into his arms and carried me off into some vehicle, eight other faces looked at me, just as worried as the one holding me.
Who where they? What did they want?



Those faces where the ones that saved me, nursed me back to health and now they were dead, all except the one man who held me, Bobby.

**Bobby and Adam should find her watching the sunrise, since they are already out and about on patrol. NOTE: Must be before the sun completely comes up, because Victoria will leave before that**

Julia~~~

Julia lept through the air of the sky. She lept down, then again, and then again. She finally made it to the bottom and blended into the crowd because no one took notice, although they were underground and in extreme confinement the Americas still payed no heed. Julia watted up a smile and walked with the flow of the crowd, making it an impossible way of escaping. The air was polluted with yells and shouts making it impossible to actually think a thought process.

She bumped into someone.....

*sorry it is so short but Ii had no clue where to put Julia in*
The one who smiles the most has something to hide.

..i'm lonely...message me..some how add me on your social networking site (unless you are some creepy weirdo who stalks girls for their organ harvesting company..i personally like them inside of me thankyou :) )

(Bobby Farbor)


Bobby smiled down at Victoria, understanding why she was still outside. But, he knew he would have to punish her. No humans were allowed aboveground without supervision, no exceptions.

"You're not supposed to be up here, you know that, Victoria" he told her, seriousness in his voice. He felt for her though.

"Yes. I know. I'm very sorry" she said, looking away from his gaze.

"Victoria, you could have been killed!" went another voice from behind Bobby, it was Adam. "Something is out here, we've called all mutants to the patrol center and all humans must be in the protected zones!"

"We don't know this for sure, Adam. And the most important thing is that she wasn't harmed, just a little shaken from last night" Bobby said in kind of a funny way.

(Dinah Lynch)

Dinah smiled as soon as she smelled her father's familiar scent rush over her. The patrol center door opened and then the door to the room in which she was in with all of the other mutants.

"Victoria, you can stay in here if you want" Bobby told a girl who Dinah was very close to. "Hey, kiddo" he soon said as walked past Dinah and he fondled her hair in a really childish way.

"Have you sounded the alarms" Bobby asked someone at the controls.

"I didn't see anything threatening, Bobby. So, no...".

The air around Bobby seemed to stighten.

"Do it, now. All humans must go into the protected zones. Something is in the city and I'm going to need all of you" Bobby turned around and stared at his team of young mutants, this was all he had with eight of the advanced dead, "Len, Dinah. Go search area 3 of the city. Adam, get Kerry and come with me. Everyone else, circle area's 4, 5 and 6 and then call me if you find anything".


(Anyone who needs to come in can come in now)


ALSO: I'm going to make a list of the advanced mutants and the younger mutants, etc. The list is going to be completely randomized so don't get mad if you're not advanced
Love of mine, someday you will die. But I'll be close behind, to follow you into the dark.

Okay so I am going to bring in my bad characters into this whole chaos. Also please no one be stupid and immediately know that my characters are bad. Don't Godmode your character so they just "know" or whatever. I'm cool with you being suspicous IF that is how your characters acts, just... don't be dumb.

Also this post is long because I am bringing in all three characters. Do not worry, they won't all be this long, introductions are important though. :lol:

Korah – Turn off other Mutants Powers and reject what has been done to an object

"Len, Dinah. Go search area 3 of the city. Adam, get Kerry and come with me. Everyone else, circle area's 4, 5 and 6 and then call me if you find anything,” Bobby said as he glanced at his small team.

Korah merely nodded, and gulped feeling slightly nervous about the whole thing. He licked his lips in anticipation as he glanced over at the others, not wanting to go alone but feeling to nervous to ask anyone to go with him. Bobby must have seen the slightly terrified expression on their youngest member as he turned to Mercedes and said, “Hey Mercedes, why don’t you take Korah with you?”

“Sure,” Merceds replied as she looked over at Korah and gave him an encouraging smile.

Korah returned the grin somewhat tentatively, though he did feel a sense of relief wash over him now that he wouldn’t be going alone. “All right guys,” Bobby said, “Let’s get going, the more time we waste the more time whatever is out there has to come after us.”

Everyone turned and split up, exiting the room as they all went their own separate ways. Korah turned to Mercedes and asked, “So where are we going to go?”

“Section 6,” Mercedes immediately replied without an ounce of hesitation. “It is the only section to not have a single disruption since this whole thing started. Whatever it is will either hit there next, or who knows, maybe it is hiding there.”

“Okay, whatever you think,” Korah replied with a weak smile as his hand reached down to stroke the pistol strapped to his side. He let his fingers run along the smooth metal hilt, stroking it as he sought to get some ounce of comfort from the weapon at his side. It offered little however, and as he shuffled forward to follow Mercedes as she hurried out of the room he knew he had one choice, to take comfort in her being with him…


Nhara and Ken – Darkness and Illusions

“My, my,” Nhara murmured as she snuggled closer to Ken, feeling his hand move up the small of her back as his long thin fingers reached up and began to stroke through her hair. “We have finally found the Safeway, after so many years of searching we have discovered it.”

“Indeed,” Ken whispered with a sadistic grin as his fingers reached down and lifted up Nhara’s chin so their eyes met. Moving down their lips slowly locked together as for a brief moment they were lost in a moment of passion. As Ken slowly pulled away he grinned at Nhara as his eyes traveled down to the sword held in his left hand. It was still covered in blood that had yet to dry. Drops of blood were still falling of the tip of the blade, falling like single rubies as they spiraled down to the ground below. “Still,” Ken mumbled as he kissed Nhara again, shorter this time, but just enough so that he could feel the warmth fill his belly. “I expected more from the protectors of Safeway.”

“They weren’t bad,” Nhara answered, “I don’t think they expected us and the dogs however. Maybe the others will represent more of a challenge.” She paused for a moment, her lips puckering together as she muttered, "However that one girl did get away from us, though I'm not sure how."

“It doesn't matter," Ken replied as he squeezed her. "I don't think she saw us, she was probably to frightened of the dogs to really noticed anything, and if we come across her again I will make sure to eliminate her. Afterall they're not our targets my dear,” he replied as his hand slowly fell from her waste and he knelt down to wipe the blood from his katana. “We shouldn’t forget our real mission, testing the dogs is hardly our real priority.”

“Still you have to admit it’s interesting,” Nhara said as she turned to look to the sun that was still climbing slowly into the sky. “I mean we doubted that half of them would hatch, but the few that did proved to be an adequate distraction for the other mutants. And the ones the dogs didn’t killed were easily finished off by us. Maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll finish everyone off for us.”

Ken chuckled as he slowly rose to his feet and slid his katana into the sheath on his back with slight clink. “Don’t get your hopes up, if our Intel is right Bobby ‘Sir’ Farbor is here, he won’t go down easily…”

“If he did then where would all the fun be,” Nhara said with a small smirk. “I’d better be going, the next phase of our plan should start soon…”

**********

Nhara let out a terrified scream as she tried to scramble up the wall of debris. Behind her the sound of teeth clamping together and claws scraping against the ground could be heard echoing along the walls. “Please help, someone help!” Nhara screamed as tears of panic and fear fell from her face.

The large mutant dog lunged forward, its glistening fangs slashing out and barley missing as it went for the woman. Nhara would have been caught to, if she hadn’t slipped and toppled to the ground, her clumsiness barley saving her life as she toppled down the pile of debris, landing hard on the ground below. Scrambling to her feet she whirled around, staring at the large dog that slowly made its way towards her. It was almost the size of a large bear with smooth glistening skin and random pieces of hair sticking out in odd places Its red eyes were mere slits as it approached its prey with a low growl.

“Help, oh God HELP!” she screamed as the beast approached, narrowing in, its muscles clenching as it prepared for the kill. The dog lunged, flying forward as another form suddenly appeared, knocking Nhara out of the way. Mercedes scrambled to her feet as she yanked Nhara up and began to pull her forward.

“Hurry,” she encouraged as the two girls turned to run. Korah stood a little ways off, his face white in terror as he stared at the monster that was turning to once again face its prey. “Korah call for Bobby,” Mercedes screamed, “Use the Radio, tell him we need help, and now!”

Korah didn’t move, he stood frozen to his spot, fear keeping him rooted to the floor as his mind flashed forward through a dozen different scenarios, all of them ending with his death. “Korah!” Mercedes screamed as the dog lunged again, barley missing the girls as Mercedes yank a pistol out of her clothes and began to fire, though the bullets barley seemed to faze the large dog.

Waking up, as if in a dream Korah’s hand quickly went to his waste as he grabbed the radio and hit the talk button. “Bobby,” he whispered his voice cracking as he wet his lips. “Bobby, we need help, were in section six, come… fast…”

He was cut off as a loud scream periced through the air sending a shiver down his spine as he glanced up, just in time to see a spray of blood shoot into the sky. Stepping backward in fear Korah felt his body began to shake, it was uncontrollable, coming merely from the fear that overwhelemed him. In front of him the large dog took a step back, its large lips smacking together as it chewed the chunk of meet it had torn from the girls side him and Mercedes had rescued. The woman had fainted, and Mercedes was trying to drag her boddy away. Korah saw she was limping from a large scratch that ran down her leg, probably from the dog's claws.

"Bobby," Korah called again into the radio, his voice hoarse with terror, "We need help, now!"

(Bobby Farbor)

He ran like lighting through the now empty streets of The Safeway, clutching his radio in his hand like it was his life support. Area 6 was his destination and something in him didn't feel right, but he was too focused on saving the kids.

"Korah! Mercedes!" Bobby called into the quiet air.

"Over here!" went the answering Mercedes. Bobby ran to where he heard her and gasped at the unconcious women lying on the ground. He'd never seen her before and he knew all of the humans faces here, although she didn't really give off of the effect of being human. How in God's holy name did she get in here? he asked himself. But, then a huge, obviously mutated dog lunged at him. Biting deeply into the flesh of his arm. Instictivly, Bobby looked straight at the dog and it fell to the ground, bursting into flames that erupted from its mouth.

"Who is this woman?" Bobby asked Korah who seemed to be frozen with fear atleast five yards away from him. Bobby looked to Mercedes.

"She doesn't have an I.D." she answered and Bobby didn't feel so sure about this lady, but she was hurt now and so he needed to get her somewhere he could examine her, and quickly. Scooping her up in his arms he gestured to the kids to follow him back to the hospital building.

Victoria

I spun around on the patrol room chair, barely watching the screens. What was the point of Bobby telling me to stay here? If I saw anything, I couldn’t help much.
That’s probably why he wanted me here, so I could see that I am no help!
What a ridiculous thought to entertain! I shook my head clear. I deserve any amount of punishment that was coming my way. First eight dead and I couldn’t even tell them what happened and then Bobby and Adam caught me outside!
Obviously I would get punished and even worse - they were going to be upset, hopefully they wouldn’t hold a grudge that long.

I just wish I could of talked to Dinah before they left; I haven’t had a chance to see her in days!


A pair of distant eyes looked down past me as I found myself waking up in a hospital bed.
“She’s pretty,” the young girl said as a man picked her up off the bed and held her to his side.



I knew right away that there was a father daughter relationship between Dinah and Bobby. It was only natural since he found her nearly dead, just like me, when she was three. Bobby never let her leave his side when she was a kid. Nevertheless, those little bare feet of hers liked to get away occasionally.

I always chuckle about the day I found out she was blind. The one person to call me pretty and she couldn't even see. “Ha,” I laughed to myself.

I loved Dinah dearly, we may not have been the typical best friends, but we cared for each other and had a close connection, which grew as she matured. We never talked about boys or other things of that matter but that was most likely due to the secrete infatuation I’ve held so foolishly for Bobby. The infatuation which Dinah, blind but not stupid was fully aware of, just like I was aware of every move Bobby made.

Making another large turn in the chair, I looked up to see the screen, Korah and Mercedes where cornered by a large animal. I grabbed the edge of the large desk and pulled my chair forward. Turning up the radio to hear Korah’s frightened voice calling Bobby. I looked closer to the screen to see another woman badly wounded - her body limp.
My stomach began to churn at the thought of anybody else getting hurt.
I closed my eyes, completely helpless and waited to hear more.

“Meet us at the hospital!” Bobby’s voice reassured me that they were all OK, all except for the woman that Bobby was carrying.

“Dinah!” I let a painful gasp out, worried when I didn’t see her in the screen. Instantly I pushed the chair out from under me and ran to the Hospital building.

Standing behind Bobby, she turned to listen to my clumsy human steps approach.

“Dinah,” I breathed deeply as she came forward, her arms extended, sensing my stress. “I didn’t see you, I was so worried.”

She smiled, “I could say the same thing about you right now,” she joked to ease my worries.

“Is she okay? Who is she? What was she doing there?” I bombarded Dinah with questions. While looking out of the corner of my eye to make sure Bobby was okay.

Possible to still get in? Just in case I'll post my bio ^^

Name: Ringo Linx
Age: 17

Gender: Male
Race(human or mutant): Mutant

Appearance: http://f-ayn-t.deviantart.com/art/Conte ... -109006867
Place of Birth: Somewhere random in the Safeway

Abilities/Ability: Incredible sight and inhumanly agility.

Personality: Ringo is a little . . . how would you phrase it . . insane. Literally he will pull a gun up on you if you look at him weirdly. He is also bi-polar so there's no accounting for what mood he'll be in. He can go from happy-go-lucky to down-in-the-dumps and then straight to angrier-than-thunder. He's sharp though and crudely honest. He has absolutely no sense of humility. He will laugh, cry and giggle over the weirdest things. Though you wouldn't know it, there is always a reason behind it. Which I hope to extort through my portrayal of him ^^.

History: Abandoned when he was born he raised himself. Finding food in the rubbish, eating raw rat meat and any vegetation that happened to be lying around whether it be poisonous or no. So now he can eat pretty much anything and still find it tasty. He has survived under the harshest of conditions and thrived on it. Though he didn't come out of it completely mentally intact he has an amazing prowess for having no conscience.

Other: He loves the gun that he keeps. I wouldn't touch it if I were you. . .

When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.
