-Name: Drake Williams

-Age: 19

-Appearance: Skinny, pale skin, about six feet tall with red hair indicating his Irish heritage. He is currently dressed in a black suit.

-Occupation: Drake worked at a pizza parlor, which he hated. He scored a 113 on the US DLAB, and was slated to join the US Navy as an Interpretive Cryptographer before the Collective invasion.

-Relationship Status: Drake is in a relationship with a girl named Ashley Schupp. He is not exactly in love with her, but she is head over heels for him. They had a happy romance before the invasion, but have lost contact and they do not know whether or not the other is alive. She is not in Africa.

-Background: Drake was born in the United States. His parent's where made sure that he was kept up to date on politics through out his childhood, which has led him to have some very strong beliefs on many, many things. However, he was never an activist. Not an atheist, but he does not attend any sort of religious services, and when asked what faith he is, he replies "Me? I'm a nondenominational bad ass." He met Ashley in his Senior year of high school. The invasion came the month before he was to ship off to boot camp to begin his life as a Translator for the Navy. He does not, however, know any other languages, he simply has a mind for learning them quickly with practice. He is fond of suits and was wearing one just before escaping to Africa.

-Equipment & Weapons: He managed to get hold of a small pistol and a short sword, but he is not very skilled with either of them. His only clothing right now are a black suit, with a black tie.

-Abilities & Talents: He is very quick to pick up patterns and learn languages (this does not mean that he can hear russian and then speak it, mind you.). He is also a charismatic speaker and is able to sway a crowd to his way of thinking.

Hope I did that right! EDIT: I see that the man who posted before me is also fond of suits. :( Should I change what my character is wearing, or what?

-Name: Tradx

-Age: 22

-Appearance: Tradx on the top half of his body appears to be a normal white male, although he does wear cargo pants, a large trench coat with more pockets than he should have and a red shirt capped off with a large red pirate hat, coated in feathers, his legs are that of a flea. Long and coated with a hard exoskeleton, his kneecaps are backwards and he has difficulty walking at a slow speed, preferring to jump. On his back are two large futuristic machine guns, with an array of buttons and switches, and two long swords, each with a red pulsating vein wrapped around them.

-Occupation: Tradx is a wanderer, he mostly competes in fighting tournaments and arenas, but when he landed on earth, the collective destroyed it, stranding him and getting him on their case.

-Relationship Status: Single, he is a little bit flirty but mostly focused on having fun.

-Background: Tradx is suffice it to say, not from earth. He spends most of his time either exploring space, or fighting in the various combat tournaments across the galaxy, using his winnings to support himself. He has made quite the name for himself, mostly because of his seemingly unending supply of gadgetry and weapons. One of his finer characteristics is his ability to constantly joke and prod people to put them off balance. When he landed on earth, he was simply looking for a bit of fuel, before the collectors destroyed his ship. This sent him on a large hunt for them, but instead of him finding them, they found him. They offered him a better ship under the condition he worked for them, he promptly shot the lot in the face a bunch of times before jumping off. Not the collective's finest moment.

-Equipment & Weapons: He has a near infinite array of weaponry gathered across the galaxy. He is most well known for an AI scanner, his machine guns, his swords and his GFE Rocket Launcher. His hat can also turn into a full face helmet, giving him night vision, heat vision, filtered breathing to shield him from his poison gas bullets and an amplified voice.

-Abilities & Talents: Aside from his gadgets, Tradx's legs serve for more than appearance, he can jump exactly like a flea, propelling himself around mach II for the length of the Golden Gate bridge.

Yeah, your guy looks like he has too many weapons and stuff available right off the bat. His abilities I don't have a problem with, but you gotta tone down the arsenal a bit.

Mostly they consist of ammo and mines, but I mean his most powerful weapons are his rocket launcher and his machine guns. The swords are a bit gimmicky but almost all of his other gadgets exist purely for comedic effect.

Okay, I've updated the op with the accepted characters. I've decided to take a gamble since there's a lot of characters here, but I'll see if I can manage. I still need a Co-GM though. Anyway we'll start today at about 4 pm EST.

What are you talking about? I haven't rp'd on this thread for a good while. Also, a Co-GM would help divide up the work, such as narrative, controlling certain NPC such as the boss characters. Inquire by pm for more info

sudo-dice rolling is rolling thoguh a computer program/app or the honor system (wich only works if you know who your playing with can be trusted not to cheat.) vs saying i want to do attack X at enemy Y and leting the GM say what happens.

((Yeah, I'm getting tired of waiting for people to respond. I'll get back to them when they get back to me.))

Chapter Prologue

He watched over the place like a father looking at his newborn baby through an infirmary for the first time. However, it was not joy that held him, but rather a grim sense of anticipation. His friends, his colleagues, his love, were all in places he couldn't find or get to on his own. It was for this, he cursed his lack of superhuman or mystical abilities or hi-tech gadgetry.

But, at the same time he could curse every deaf ear his warnings fell upon. The confident look one such colleague gave him when he dismissed his worries as more of his baseless conspiracy theories.

Anyone who managed to receive and heed his message came here and the building began to swell with refugees. It was their little hideaway under the sand, their safehaven. "But for how long?" he would wonder to himself. After all, Africa didn't offer that much to the rest of the world. That was the only thing that kept The Collector's Grand Four from sending its massive army here. But, it didn't offer much comfort; it would be a matter of time before those carriers were on their doorstep, if only to collect more land to control.

The man without a face sighed... "God damnit, Clark..." He whispered to himself.
