Doomsday

sylverdawn · 2009-06-29T00:40:58Z

*Hey my last few storybooks haven't panned out very well, I really hope this one works out.* People are always talking about the end of the world, doomsday and all that. But what about after? I mean, at least some people would survive, right? How do they pick up the pieces, how do they start all over again? So I thought I'd come up with a plot like that. Doomsday- plot : A.D. 2064... Planet Earth was on the brink of destruction. Clashes between the World Republic Federation and the various nations that opposed it, sparked the outbreak of World War III. Weapons of mass destruction, deployed with complete impunity, razed the land in the blink of an eye. People believed it was the end of the world. The dire situation forced the two opposing factions to negotiate a cease-fire, reaching an agreement in only three days. But while the war may have ended, its effects remained. With the war's end, the extent of the damage became clear. The grim reality was, that in the blink of an eye, over half the world's population had been wiped out, and the living could only envy the dead. Fastforward to A.D. 2087, over two decades have passed since WWIII, and it's effects are still being felt world wide. Asia is infested with radiation poisoning and strange mutations walk its lands. Africa is almost a complete desert. South America was practically wiped off the map. The world's population is now largely concentrated in Europe, renamed Europia, and Australia. But both are rapidly running out of space and resources. As for North America, it's now called the Northern Waste. An almost uninhabitable wasteland of subzero temperatures. In this post apocalyptic hell, genetically enhanced soldiers, the survivors of a lethal experiment, are becoming the worlds only hope. They can survive the deadly enviorments of New Earth, read somebody's mind with the briefest touch, mold reality with their very thoughts, and slice through bone with their bare hands. Which makes them pretty badass, all right. Nothing gets to them. Until they meet others of their kind, they have gifts too. Which raises some interesting questions, since they all believed they were the experiments sole survivors. But someone wants the past to stay buried, and the killers they seek are seeking them. Before they can start unravelling the mysteries of their pasts, they are kidnapped and taken to the Northern Waste. Now they have to survive being trapped in an underground maze, hunted by madmen, and exposed to a plague that could destroy the last fragile remnants of mankind. How do you save the world? When your very existence may be it's destruction? --------------------------------- rules : The usual rules apply no god moding, no killing off characters without permission, only mild swearing, etc... I'd really like it if this storybook didn't just die out. --------------------------------- character : Please follow this character profile. All characters must be 23 or younger. name- age- gender- appearance- distinguishing features- personality- history- powers- (All of them have telempathy (telepathy/empathy), telekinesis, mild precog abilities, enhanced healing/speed/strength/senses) Also list one or two powers that are unique to your character. flaw- A genetic flaw that was programmed into their DNA as a safe guard when they were given their powers. other- --------------------------------- name- Vax Maverick (Sin) age- 17 (almost 18 ) gender- male appearance- http://media.photobucket.com/image/dragon%20boy/GaaraNeko/Dragon_Flame_by_ramy.jpg?o=216 distinguishing features- orange-gold eyes, dragon shaped birthmark wrapping around his left arm. personality- Sin is gregarious and outgoing with a wicked sense of humor and an insatiable curiosity. He's always ready for a fight and is ready with a quick retort almost constantly, his mind is like a steel trap, and Sin is considered a prodigy as a tactician, he doesn't have the patience to be a strategist. He makes friends easily, and is extremely loyal and fun loving. But at the same time he alway keeps a part of himself aloof. He loves to figure out all kinds of puzzles. His temper is quick to ignite, but usually quick to cool. Thinks with his heart, headstrong and often stubborn to the point of stupidity. history- His mother lived on the street when she got pregnant with him, so when the scientists came she gladly consented to the experiments. She died in a terrorist attack on the city of Perth, Australia. Just a day after Sin was born. Like many children orphaned during and after the war, Sin became a ward of the state, and was raised in a boarding school. But Sin was young and rebellious, and he quickly realised exactly what he was capable of, and that people would try to use him. So when he was nine he left and never looked back. He moves from city to city never in the same place for very long, was caught in Sydney. One of Patient 00, a set of identical twin brothers, and the first genetically enhanced humans. (If anyone wants they can be the brother he was seperated from.) powers- electro-kinesis/pyro-kinesis, the ability to generate electricity/fire to an amazing degree. He also has the ability to soul jump, he can invade and take over anothers mind, this is an ability he has kept secret and rarely uses. flaw- His powers deal largely with energy in all its forms, cut off from a source of power (sunlight, electrical outlet, bonfire) he will become exhausted and pass out. Sin has conditioned himself to go without energy for large periods of time. However if he is deprived long enough his consciousness will recede, and Sin will feed off the energies of those around him, endangering their lives. (this is worst case scenario and has only happened once before.) other- up for love, weapon of choice is an energy sword, http://twobrothersandasister.com/wp-content/images/2009/games/so4/weapon/08.jpg

Raven

I looked around as the others joined us. My breathing grew louder. They were circling me. My head jerked from each one and I started to tremble.

There was bushes. So much plant-life. A man was there. He stood protectively over me as I clung to his pants.

The men circled around us. There were three of them.

"Give us the girl, Shaun," he urged.

"Get away!" He roared, pushing me behind him. I felt a surge of...fear? I was scared for this man. I was feeling emotions.

One man darted forward and grabbed the man. He fought, but the others oon grabbed me.

"Raven!" He screamed. The other man, holding him, hit him upside the head and my savior crumpled to the ground.

I screamed as the men took me away. That man, the one they had either killed or knocked out, he was my dad.

The memory faded. I had memories! I was remembering my life before I became what I was!

The other looked at me strangely. Were they like the men who hurt my father? I backed into the wall.

"What's wrong with her?" Sin asked. I started to shake as they surrounded me. This was just like my memory!

I took a deep breath. They weren't going to hurt me. I wasn't tweleve. I slowly stood. The others still gave me the 'I really think she's crazy,' look.

"I'm fine," I stated. "I just need...I just need a breather."

**Just so you know, Raven dosen't remember her past. She had a flashback and got hold of a memory. She's fine now, but she'll probably have others. She's not really crazy. (; When the others came it jerked her mind to that and that's how she remembered it. She'll be fine. ^^

Hermione, shut your ungodly, lopsided mouth and quit interrupting! 20 points from Gryffindor. You know, for the brightest witch of your age you can sure be a dumba** sometimes. *smiles* 10 points to Dumbledore!

**I'd like to join if it wasn't too much trouble.**

name- Tabitha Greene
age- 23
gender- female
appearance- brown hair, average weight and height. Strong jaw, heart shaped face. Hazel eyes. Wears glasses.
distinguishing features- Numeous small scars from experimentation.
personality- Driven, highly intelligent, hard worker. Very analytical and meticulous. Not the best social skills. Not willing to comprimise on her morals.
history- The daughter of two scientists at the base, she originally had a job as a technician. She never dealt directly with the subjects and didn't think much of it as she analyzed samples and spliced genes. When she found out what exactly she was helping the others do, however, she wanted no part of it. She tried to sabotage the holding area and set some of the subjects free but was taken into custody. Tabitha was used to see how the genetics of an already matured specimen could be manipulated.
powers- (All of them have telempathy (telepathy/empathy), telekinesis, mild precog abilities, enhanced healing/speed/strength/senses) Tabitha can also take in the properties of different sorts of matter through touch; eg., if she touches a magnet, she can manipulate magnetic fields, a diamond would make her practically indestructable, etc.
flaw- She can retain the properties of matter for about half an hour before having to touch it again. If she strains herself and attempts to hold on to properties for longer, she may start to develop less than useful side effects (fusing of joints, low melting points, etc) which may last for a few hours.
other- The experiments have taken her capability of speech, so she either has to communicate through telepathy or writing. Open for love.

Tabitha woke with a groan. Dear lord, what happened? Her head hurt horribly... Wait, this isn't my cell. And the door's open. Great, this is going to suck. I can already tell. She got to her feet and walked towards the door. There was a bag nearby.

Okay, this isn't so bad. I can get through this. What did they leave me with? Inside the bag she found some saltines and salami, a canteen, a flashlight like the ones security guards have, a sleeping bag, some clothes, and a coil of rope.

Suddenly she stiffened. There were voices coming down the hallway. God grant me strength... She pulled the bag onto her back and hefted the flashlight. If worst came to worst she could use it for defense.

Licking her lips nervously, she stepped out into the hall.
