Rules:same as any rp
1 : Follow the Gaia ToS and the guild rules at all times.
2 : Swearing, sexual content and excessive gore are to be kept to a minimum, i say minimum because you know... TOS and what not. The only thing i entirely say no to is sexual acts. i dont care if you maybe get naked and kiss, but no goddamn explicit sexual acts. keep it to pm or soemthing. we will all get the picture if you RP around it here in the thread.
3 : Please proof read, watch your spelling and grammar. This is a literate rp.
I dont want any of that *(insert your name) walks up to his friends* hi guys whats up?
if you use an Astrix you will get your a**-kicked! hah! yes its corny but not an idle threat.
i prefer:
(insert your name here) walks up to his/her friends with a big smile
“Hi guys, whats up?”I dont particularly care if you dont use color to differentiate your dialogue from your narration, the cool thing about using color is you can idenity different characters in your own posts with different colors. so your friends (whom might have just been invented by you: would respond:
Not much man whats up with you? and you would carry on your narration/dialogue it also helps when replying to other peoples posts.)
but if you dont use color, make sure you at least use quotation marks and proper dialogue structure and punctuation.
also I love it when characters have a distinct dialects, if you can hear your character's dialect or accent in your head please write it out in their dialogue.
4 : I like to read, i think i learned my best writing skills in literate rp here on gaia, and now im publishing several stories. So i encourage you to write to your hearts content in every post. but don't bore us with several paragraphs worth of writing with nothing but how the room looks.
5 : Im lenient but if you noob it up too much i will nullify your rp.
6 :: Any profiles posted in the thread by anyone but me will be ignored.
7 : If you use OOC chat (out of character) please put it in parenthesis above the post. id like that to a minimum but im not a nazi about it, im not going to send you to furnace for welcoming back a buddy or what ever.
8 : Title your profile Pm "Bastards" so i know you read the rules. helps me with the bust'n of foo's.
Character Profiles:PM me your profile and i will, if i accept it, post your profile in the first page, this saves people from scrolling through endless pages looking for your profile. and also helps keep bs characters out of the rp.^_^

when creating a character, we are still dealing with human hybrids, so unless you are a crazy wasteland beast dragon thing, i dont want any majical powers. and even in the event you are a dragon please keep the majic to one or two powers, fire breath i can deal with.... no telekinesis. This is a Post-Apoc. rp not a fantasy/sci-fi. projectiles and hand tools only otherwise.
be creative with your history please
Be as descriptive as you can with the profile. if you want to have an image of your character you are more than welcome, but please still describe them in text as well. I want to know what they look like, what the dress like, how they move. I want to know everything from the color of their hair, to the way they jump, to the accent they have when they say "boot". I dont care if you spend three hours writing this kind of stuff out here in the profile. if you do obviously you are passionate about your character you know alot about him/her/it. which gives you a good thumbs up in my book.
Example
sad under construction)
Username: Jungle Boots
Character Name: Cola Junkers
Age: 24
Race: Anthro
Breed: Wild mountain ram (sheep)
Occupation: Nomad and Raider
Residence: He is a Nomad, so he has no real residence, but he is setting up his camp amidst the ruins outside of Novostok
Weapons/Abilities: abilities: He has excellent hearing, and very good peripheral vision. He isnt the fastest runner, but he can run faster than the average human. He is an excellent climber his foot hooves have the suction cups like those of modern mountain goats and rams. He has a very thick fleece to keep him warm, he can survive for an almost indefinite time in the cold without shelter provided he can find food to fuel his body heat. His horns are fairly large, spanning about six feet from tip to tip, so a head but from him is pretty intense. He is omnivorous being still human, but he is able to eat plants like grass, something normal humans cannot do efficiently enough to be nourished.
weapons: Cola has a make shift shovel that tipples as a hatchet and a knife. it is essentially a building tool but also a deadly weapon. He has an old Vz. 61 Skorpion sub-machine gun as well. It is aged, but in decent condition due to his careful maintenance of it. He has very little ammunition for it, about one clip and some odd rounds so he rarely uses it.
Weaknesses:He is on his own, thus he has that as a weakness, he is violent and deeply disturbed. His solitude has given him a very unstable psychology. He craves comradeship but rarely finds people he can stand, or people that don't look too tasty to resist eating. He can thus be too trusting perhaps. He isn't the strongest by any sort, by his sheep like body he is stocky but not essentially strong. most of his physique is designed to climb, jump, run, and insulate heat.
Personality: He is lonely, period. Lonely to the point of imagining his own friends perhaps. Schizophrenia, insanity, call it what you will hes pretty ******** up. He has little sense of a value of life. He has killed and will kill without second thought. He is a cannibal, he doesn't care who his victim is, Anthro, Human, they are all animals to him, all meat.
But he thinks he has it all figured out, he doesn't so much realize he is so lonely, he likes to believe he revels in his solitude. whether that is naivete or not he considers himself a wild wise man, a rabid Buddha, and he wont hold back from preaching if he wants. He has a firm distaste of settlements, any form of society, mostly his denial system grown from trying to appreciate his solitude.
He takes what he wants with no regret, and it can get him into trouble. He is callous, rash and wields a wicked tongue. He prides himself in never holding back no matter the consequences.
History:His parents abandoned him when he was a young teen, about twelve or thirteen but no one really keeps tabs on age anymore. as he remembers it, they abandoned him was because they didn't want to deal with his Skitzo episodes. Whether that is really true is unclear. He hasn't seen them since, and if he did he would probably think of them just as food, kill them and eat them.
His parents were settlement dwellers in a town far to the south of Novostok. They left him in the tundra to fend for himself, and he did fend for himself... very well.
He made his livelihood raiding nomads, pirating convoys, killing, stealing and trading his stolen goods. He feels as if the convoys are meant to be pillaged and thinks little of the concept of property. Its all just for the taking. Its more or less collecting to him.
He has settled himself down a little bit, and decided to go into Novostok to trade some of his recent collections.
Appearance: Cola is about 5'6" He has a stocky build, with heavily toned runner's legs. He isnt ussually the strongest when compared to most people but he has a good amount muscle. Most of his strength lies in his legs for running and jumping. His neck is pretty strong too, whitch he uses for his knock out head-butt when he gets the chance in a fight.
Kaufka has thick grey fleece and a white underbelly with thick chest fur and long heavy weaves of fleece from his back. his foot hooves resemble much of what a ram's hoof would look like with the two toed nail. Heavy weaves of fleece grow down over his ankles and writs to keep his hands and hooves warm. His hand hooves have three fingers and one thumb. Two larger fingers about the size of two fingers in one and one smaller pinky sized finger. all three fingers and thumb have large hoof nail growths at the tips of the fingers imbedded from just before the last knuckle of each digit.
Kaufka's head has a stocky snout with a small brown beard under his chin with a white tip. He has large kanine teeth, and pointed incisors, the rest of his teeth resemble molars. the bridge of his nose has seven bar pericings spanning across it with pollished balls on the end. He also has a septim ring, and a peircing on his nostril. His left ear has seven rings on his lower lobe, while his right ear has large ring on its upper cartalidge.
Kaufka's hair is a dredlock mohawk, brown like his beard with white tips.
His horns corkscrew outward from the sides of his head to nearly three feet, having a combined span of six feet.
Kaufka stands with a slight hunch. He ussually keeps his hands in the pockets of his makeshift down coat. He carries a large back pack on his back with a rolled blanket tied to the bottom, and stuffed with all of his stolen goods and survival gear. He wears beat up old denim jeans with a rope for a belt holding a pack of ammo on his right hip and his holstered Vz. 61.
He has a large grey and black Scarf that almost never leaves his neck.
He is an oppertunistic smoker, depending on how easy it is to get a few cancer sticks he will either probably be smoking or soon to getting the shakes.
