We Are Our Avatars V (Closed)

[ShindoL Shill]

Zer0 approached the helicopter wreck silently. He sized up the two figures: the man in black was obviously enhanced, and would be a dangerous opponent; the other man did not seem to be as strong, possibly just a normal human. However, neither one seemed to be a threat, nor a target. Killing them would be of no use.
Zer0 rose, and lowered his gun slightly.
"Identify yourselves." he ordered calmly.

 

[the12thDoctor]

as he sighed in relief he arrived at the tree, he gave the people currently there a cheerful "howdy" and sat down

 

[TilMorrow]

The girl then noticed that someone else had begun approaching the tree and even had called out something. She heard his question and raised a finger to her chin in a moment of mock thought. "Ummm... Nowhere would be my best guess." She said with a smile before giggling a little at her joke.

 

[Outisakanobody]

The man, being completely lost, accidentally stumbled into the clearing and started coughing and rubbing his eyes.

 

[Random berk]

@FPS Plexiglas. Its the same stuff that modern aircraft canopies are made from, as far as I know.

The cyborg glared suspiciously at Bryce.
"I'm not sure I..." He trailed off for a moment. Behind his shades, overlaid over his own vision, what had been an indistinct fuzz of distortion since he hit his head in the crash was now resolving itself back into a HUD display, and on the local rangefinder he could see that there was indeed a congregation gathering in the direction that the man had indicated. More people were milling about in the storm. He squinted at Bryce for a moment longer, then nodded.
"Alright. Get her to that gathering. I'll see what I can do for the others."

 

[Saltyk]

Ryu was suddenly aware of many others in the clearing. He nodded at the new arrivals and looked at the girl. "Who are you? Why are you sitting at Yggdrasil? And what do you mean nowhere? Is this not the Desert of Death?"

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Berk: Only because Hatchy isn't here.

The "Desert of Death"? What was this blue-haired man talking about? The man wondered. Sandstorms were not oncommen in the region he thought he was in afterall.
"Why, I am the leading man. Who else?" He replied whilst trying to get the sand out of his ears. "Balthier is the name." When the woman spoke, he cocked an eyebrow in mild annoyance. Being lost was irritating enough, but to be mocked by a stranger? "Nowhere? Curious. I have never heard of such a place. Perhaps that is because "nowhere" isn't a place at all. Nor in fact a propper answer." He then looked at the others who had gathered around the tree and resolved to hang back for the moment and hear what they had to say.

 

[Outisakanobody]

The man shakily stood and looked around. Seeing other people around, he was almost tempted to run back into the storm, but decided against it. Instead he just tried to get as far away from them as he could without being in the storm. Having done this, he took out his canteen and took a small swig of water from it.

 

[DotSlash]

The guy gives a little wave and a smile to the girl before turning to Ryu. He spoke with a soft voice. [color=008888] "Calm down, man. You won't get answers getting all worked up like that." [/color] The guy turns back towards the girl. [color=008888] "Could you tell us where we are exactly? Oh... forgot to introduce myself. [/color] He sticks out his hand, a little bit of sand still on it. [color=008888] "I'm Rex. Nice to meet ya, miss." [/color]

 

[FPSfanatic]

Bryce nodded. "Okay I'll-" He shuts up as the ninja appeared before him, and requested Identification. "Ahh, you're part of the Koga clan right? Don't worry, I think I still carry you guys' identification..." he pats himself down with his free hand, before pulling out a drivers licence with Japanese written on it. If someone could read the japanese, it would say 'carrier'. Underneath the penned in writing, there was a picture of a much younger Bryce, acne faced, with a bright smile on his face. It listed his name as 'Bryce Logan'. "Now, either help or move. I need to get this lady to the tree."

 

[Random berk]

As the gunman called out, the cyborg didn't give any indication of being startled. The man had registered on his rangefinder just like all the others. He did, however, turn around slowly and keep his hands out from his sides.
"Adam Jensen, Sarif Industries." He replied calmly. "Who's asking?"

And straight away, posts are being eaten...

 

[Saltyk]

Ryu cocked an eye at Balthier. Leading man? Quite arrogant streak that man has. "Well met, I suppose Balthier.
He then looked at Rex. "Worked up? I was merely asking questions. It is strange that we are here. Especially considering that I was nowhere near the Desert of Death or wherever we are, for that matter."

OoC: @Nail As I said, if @Hatchy was here he would have gotten last post as he introduced his character.

 

[Drakmorg]

A young woman wearing a lavishly decorated dress stumbled out of the sandstorm and into the relatively calm clearing around the tree. After regaining her footing she began to brush sand out of her hair and clothes as she pondered to herself. This must be 'sand'. I don't think I care for it very much. Her incredibly frilly attire and almost excessive amount of jewelry would imply she had likely 'found' herself in the desert, as opposed to having even so much as considered arriving at her current destination by choice. The rather large bat-like wings coming out of her shoulder-blades might also possibly peg her as someone who wasn't exactly from 'around here', wherever here was.

She stayed near the edge of the sandstorm, moving only a few feet further into the clearing to avoid getting pelted with more sand. She busied herself with trying to remove sand from her clothing, as her dress providing many cozy little niches for the coarse grains to lodge themselves in.

 

[Furioso]

@Random, the storm surrounds the tree area, but doesn't affect it

As the two men approached the tree they were able to see the people there through the storm.
"...Are those... humans? We must be on earth!"

The second man replied "[sub]Tch, of course this wasteland is on earth.[/sub] What kind of human would live here anyways? I know they're stupid, but I thought they had at least a little more sense then that." he said with malice in his voice

"You raise a good point, let's ask them!" said the first man as he made his way to the forming group

"Ah! No my Lord, wait!"

The first man approached the group and asked them all "Excuse me, humans, who are you, why are you here, and what have you done with the moon?"

[hr]

Meanwhile, in the spot where the two men had first appeared, a large number of small creatures fell out of the air and imbedded themselves in the sand, where they struggled to get out

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Zer0 glanced at the driver's license and nodded in acceptance, then turned his attention to Adam.
"Please, call me Zero." he said, lowering his gun further. A red question mark appeared in front of Zer0's visor. "I have not heard of Sarif. What do you deal in?"

 

[CmmdrRosh99]

Spoiler: Introduction...

Spoiler: Picture

A young woman stood among the flames of destruction as ash started to fall. Either it was from the battlefield or her former squadmates, she did not know. Standing on the other side of the flames was a hulking man, his blue hair dyed red from blood. She gritted her teeth charging into the flames, punching the man with a heavy hit as he was knocked away.

"Bastard... You bastard..." she growled, trying to keep tears from falling.

The man immediately got back up and grinned maniacally. A soft beeping noise came from his ears as he frowned then turned away.

"Don't turn your back on me!" the woman yelled, resuming her assault. Just before she could having another punch, the man quickly grabbed her by the wrists, and twisted them. The woman yelled in pain as she was lifted up into the air and fell, only to have the man's knee impact her back.

Falling to the ground, she coughed up blood. "Weakling. I don't fight weaklings. Sector Seven or not, allies or enemies, nothing is more glorious than the trill of the kill. A feeding grounds. " he growled.
[hr]

The woman woke up with a start, jumping to her feet and into a grappling position. She groaned, having the nightmare again. Muttering to herself, she exited her little sleeping spot to the outside world, alittle cave area near the 4th Hierarchical City of Naobi. Starting to stretch, a string of explicits left her mouth, cursing the day, two months ago, when she faced Azrael, a member of the shady Sector Seven.

Seeing herself sufficiently stretched, she packed up her things and eyed the dogtags she had. All of her former teammates. She then put them...

Right.... No pockets... she mentally snarked, remembering that her shorts had been cut down since the fight against Azrael. Need new shorts. Something more sturdy.

Sighing, she saw a faint light coming from the inside of the cave. Curious, she put her armagus dual weapons on her arms and started approaching the light. Her head started to become fuzzy as she entered deeper into the cave and saw some strange cauldron, with whatever its context glowing a bright green color....

The woman dropped slightly from the skies above into a conveniently large and soft pile of sand.

 

[TilMorrow]

The girl cocked her to the side as the blue haired man addressed her. "Yggdrasil? What's that? And I've never heard of this place being called 'the Desert of Death'. Sure people have probably died here but not many..." She paused in thought for a bit before realising the guy who had called out before was talking again. She heard that his name was Balthier and noticed he had cottoned onto her joke. She gave a slight smile and leaned back before saying "In truth, this exact location is could be called nowhere as it's not named. But the desert itself has a name. In fact..." She sat up slightly as she began counting on her fingers and muttering on her breath before showing a full hand to the man and stating "There are five names for here but two of those names are mostly numbers for some reason. People tend not to use them." She then noticed some movement from beside her and saw the guy with the hood waving at her. She waved back before he introduced himself and stuck out his hand. She shook it before saying "Strange. First time someone's greeted me like that in a long time. A pleasure to meet you Rex. I'm..." The girl looked confused for a moment before shaking her head and saying "Eve, My name is Eve. And you're... Hmmm... which name should I use?" She began musing.

 

[Zepherus14]

A purple-black portal opens within a sandstorm just above a dune, giving off sparks of lightning. It dissipates as a young guy faceplants into the sand. Getting up and shaking off the sand, he pulls the hood of his jacket up and zips it up. [color=008888] [small] "Tch. Ness could've made that a little less painful..." [/small] [/color] He grunts as he pulls his beanie down to almost cover his eyes as he struggles through the sandstorm. A large black chain on his right arm rustles like a prisoner's handcuffs as he trudges through toward the tree in the clearing.

OoC: Did you draw that character that you're playing? Can I see a bigger picture maybe? :3

Hey guys

 

[DotSlash]

Rex lets out a sigh as the two awkward looking guys question the group. His chain seems to rattle in response to being called human [color=008888] "None of us really know any of us and no one knows why we're here. Calm yourselves, please." [/color] He leans over a bit, looking at the lavishly dressed female in the distance and yells out. [color=008888] "YOOOOooo! JOIN THE PARTY, MISS!" [/color]

Rex tilts his head a bit as Eve muses, then nods. [color=008888] "So you're a bit forgetful, eh..." [/color]

He sighs again. [color=008888] Man... I didn't volunteer for this... [/color]
