Why We Fight, The Sequel To Redemption Songs Options

[Jerub-baal]

Why We Fight


The Setup

The world has been saved by Ordinary People with Extraordinary Abilities. It has been Fifteen Years since the events of Redemption Songs and The Cure. The vamprification virus accidentally spread by The Company which had devastated the world was cured, by a group of survivors who had gathered in New York. The world has healed, brought back from the brink of an end, but that is not the end of our story.

The Company is resurgent, reformed in the wake of The Cure. The Legion, a group of mysterious and seemingly malevolent half-Superhuman, half-Dark Seeker created by The Company's experiments to gain a Cure, who tried to prevent The Cure, are now mostly a myth, a boogeyman story parents tell to their children. The world has rebuilt, colonies have sprung up over the world, and the colony in Chicago will be home to a tale which will change the world.

The Group Of Four, the survivors of the acquiring of the cure in Maine so many years ago, are now legends. Benjamin Lewis, Carlos De La Vega, Klein Weir and Paul Beckett are known the world round for their triumphs, but their Failures, their Sins will threaten the world, as we learn Why We Fight...

Game Concept


This game is a sequel to an I Am Legend/HEROES crossover RPG called Redemption Songs which was well-enjoyed by a group of players. It doesn't require you to have played the earlier game or have seen the film, though additional reference material is available in the form of the miscellaneous section of the short story/reference/discussion thread(Redemption Stories) and the first game itself, for a deeper experience.


__________________________


Rules

1. First off, no god-modding. This means no using your powers to extremes, and no god-powers. Your character can and maybe will die at any time(don't worry, you can return and submit a new character sheet). No playing other people's characters. No killing someone else's characters without permission, etc.

Small note there: as the Game Master, I reserve the right to take control of your character for plot purposes, and/or to kill them if I feel the need/want/whim. You can always come back with a new character sheet.

2. Spell correctly, use a decent amount of proper grammar and punctuation. Spell check, natch.

3. You can't be a canon HEROES character, or related to any canon characters. Only OC(original characters), and all characters that died, stay dead.(barring any regenerative blood trickery on the part of the GM)

4. This is an attempt at a bit of realism. Live your characters life like an actual life, like it really matters. Interact with other players how you'd interact in real life. And remember that every decision has consequences.

And just like in real life- If you are in a situation where you would most likely die, you will die.

5. No rip offs. That means Ziro Tanaka and Gylar are not allowed. Come up with your own ideas, people. You can be evil or good, normal or special, but the one thing you can't be is uncreative.

6. This is at least semi- Heroes universe, so keep it within the universe. That means your power should be reasonable- no laser eyes. I will bend on this rule if your character is good enough.

7. Make decent posts. Interact. Don't have two line posts. Leave posts open.

8. No flaking or abandoning. If you want to leave, tell me by PM or IM.

9.GM has final say.

10.Have fun!

Soon after he discovered his ability at the age of 16, he accidentally started a fire in his house which was put out by his brother before his parents came home. Later, around the age of 18, he traveled with his brother for a semi-vacation one summer. He was captured and was flown to a facility, only to be rescued by his brother and a few others soon afterward. He finished school at the age of 19 and tried multiple times to get into a college, being constantly denied.

After the breakout of the virus, Dark Seekers attacked him, his family and his friends at a sporting event. After assuming that they had all died during the attack, Ben managed to collect at least one item from each of them for a reminder. His cousin's Mp3 player, his brother's medallion, his grandfather's shotgun, his best friends harmonica, and then his fiance's engagement ring.

Eventually, he found himself at Columbia University under the leadership of Eva, and from there, followed her and a group of others to find the cure.

Being one of the survivors hasn't been the easiest journey for Benjamin Lewis. In fact, he considers himself one of the unlucky ones. He never wanted to be considered a hero, but the people never seemed to listen to him in his speech. And he was getting tired to repeating the same speech over and over again. He just wanted to rest, maybe fade into obscurity as the world moved on.

[Jerub-baal]

Approved, though decidedly lacking Stevey Baldwin.

[Bennet]

Name: Klein Weir

Gender: Male

Age: 42

Ability(if any): Exoskeleton; Is capable of extending a secondary skeleton externally, complimented by its own secondary muscular system. After the events of the outbreak, Klein's ability extended to the point where he could manipulate bones within himself to create projectiles, and seemingly has a limited ability to change the density of other's peoples bones.

Ability Limitations: While it does make him harder to hurt and catch, his exoskeleton does not provide immunity against everything, just added defense. As far as tested, Klein's ability can withstand a fall from over seventy-stories, as well as weight of over 500 pounds on top of him. He also has limited protection against bullet and stab wounds, but certain areas between the exoskeleton can be affected. As for his new abilities, Klein is still working on figuring them out. The projectile bones only launch from his exoskeleton, as he would have no way to heal from a bone which pierced through his normal skeleton. As for manipulating other's, the ability seems to work as a way of calcium depletion which makes the subject's bones for prone to breaks and shatters.

Level Of Mastery/Control Of Ability: Well-Trained; a former Company Operative, Klein knows how to use his ability in even the most extreme situations.

Race: Caucasian

Nationality: Canadian

Hometown: Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Current Location: Hartsdale, New York

Height: 6'0

Weight: 160 lbs

Build: Toned

Hair Color: Brown

Hair Style: Varies; but usually longer and stylish.

Facial Features: Despite his age, Klein actually could seem quite younger than he is, passing perhaps for early thirties. His face has a type of quality that makes him easy to trust.

Eye Color: Blue

Facial Hair Color: Light Brown

Facial Hair Style: Stubble

Scars: Pneumatic Puncture Marks on the left side of his neck

Tattoos: None

Attire: When not at work, he usually sticks to breathy material, such as running shorts and t-shirts, but has been known to swap out depending on weather conditions. But while at work, he must don a good ole' fashion suit.

Profession: "Officially" Primatech Research Chief Executive; "Unofficially": Upper-Management Company Man (As far as Klein knows, he's top of the food chain at the re-built Primatech, as no one else from the old days as stepped forward.)

Work History: Two years business administration at a law firm in Ottawa; Eight years as a Pharm. Rep. for Primatech Research.

Education: Business Administration Degree, Minor, University of Saskatchewan. Commerce Degree, Major, University of Saskatchewan.

Special Skills: A mind for business.

Combat Training: Company provided firearms training, as well as limited hand-to-hand training.

Combat Experience: Numerous successful bag and tag operations; the events of the viral outbreak.

Personal History: Born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, the Weir Family moved to Moose Jaw when the patriarch became involved with the air base there. Pushed by his father to enter into a world of business, Klein entered post secondary school to become the businessman his father always wanted.

At the age of 20, Klein was involved in a terrible car accident, which he walked away from with only minor scratches. This was due to his ability kicking in automatically to protect him from the brunt of the impact. Despite what happened, Klein didn't remember the crash and finished his degree.

After working as an accountant for a law firm for two years, Klein was approached by a potential client in Primatech Paper and Research. He was flown to the Odessa Facility to take a tour, it was here he was informed of his ability and offered a place with Primatech. He took a job with their research division, acting as a pharmaceutical rep, which gave him a perfect cover for travel.

Klein was with the Company since the age of 26, giving him considerable experience with their inner workings and access to information to help him better understanding his ability.

When the outbreak came, he lived in destroyed Hartsdale Facility and worked on trying to stay alive. After killing one of the people of a group that would become new allies, Klein joined them and worked to save the world, and himself, from the Legion.

After the destruction of Pratt Manor, and the creation of the cure, Klein left the rest of the group and fell out of contact with them. During this time he returned to Hartsdale and rebuilt the facility there, with the help of Company Agents who returned to old building. While small in numbers, Klein used their connections to reach out to new agents who could handle the job and work well under pressure. Klein's been training them and sending them out on bag & tag missions since the facility was rebuilt.

Mental Ailments: Since the outbreak, Klein has suffered minor paranoia, but also has a desolate feelings about how his life as turned out. He has attempted suicide twice, but his exoskeleton activates out of reflex preventing him from succeeding. He also still struggles with the events of the outbreak, which causes him to still suffer from an alcoholic dependency.

Relatives: Henry Weir, Mary Weir (parents)

Significant Relationships: Robert Bishop, former boss; Noah Bennet, friend and colleague.

Drinker: Yes, frequently. He still finds himself drinking himself to sleep each night, and the effects are starting to show as has taken on a yellow hue in some areas.

Smoker: No

Drug User: No

Medical Conditions: None

Medical History: While his exoskeleton does have added protection of outward sources, there is limited protection inward in terms of protecting vital organs. While his father died of a heart attack at forty-nine, Klein is likely not prone to worry about the same.

Psych Profile: Klein has been a man who is generally good with orders, he likes being told what to do and functions better under orders than under his own will. While this made him an effective company agent, it also made him impossible to promote to higher office. It also makes him a liability in field missions when things do not go according to plan. With Klein at the top of Primatech now, he seems to miss being out in the field and involved at the ground level. His orders are usually vague and seem disjointed, but he is an effective leader.

Jung-Meyers Briggs test results/type: N/A, refused to take the test.

IQ: 107

Sexuality: Straight; although more likely considers himself to be asexual.

Religion(if any): None

Political Beliefs: None

Merits: Working towards numerous advances in understanding the superhuman gene through bag and tag missions.

Accomplishments: 150 successful bag and tag missions.

Failures: 1 single failure that sticks out on his record.

Gangs became his father,mother, brother and sisters giving him a false sense of security. At the time of the outbreak and the mass amount of deaths began to stack up Deacon watched as the people he called family all died and those that did not die turned into the blood thirsty Dark Seekers.

Deacon found safety with a group of immune humans as well as several superpowered humans. If it was not for them Deacon would have died along time ago. Slowly the street wise kid began to pick up on how to act with honor and respect. After joining the survivors boxing event they held every few weeks he gained added confidence.

As soon as he was old enough he volunteered to join the scavanger crew that went out looking for supplies for the survivors. Before being granted his request he was trained with various weaponry and combat vehicals the group had scavaged together.

Personal History: Born and rasied on Vancouver Island. Had a normal, even boring life until the her father went out one day to get grocveries, and came back one day as a monster. She, her mother, and her burnout uncle made their way to Victoria, where they joined up with a large survivor group. It was led by a dashing and handsome French college undergraduate, Pierre Montard. Laurie was instantly smitten. When the cure came to Vancouver Island, the group was able to settle down. They numbered 350 or more by that point. Pierre was seen as a hero by people throughout North America, because under his leadership, only 10 people ever died, or became Seekers. Initially, Pierre and the others thought Laurie might have some sort of ability, like them, but when she failed to display any sort of aptitude, they were convinced she was normal. Laurie resented all the people with abilities, both jealous and afraid. When she discovered that she DID have an ability, she kept it secret, tried her best to pretend it didn't exist. She liked being normal.
After Pierre's girlfriend committed suicide, when Laurie was 17, she took the opportunity to spend time with Pierre, becoming, in effect, his personal assistant. She was obsessed, but believed that he didn't like her in that way. Until one day, when he invited her up to his office to talk about something. He said he was leaving for a few months to see how one of the American cities was run, get some ideas. They talked for a while, and then he got up to leave. Without thinking, she kissed him, and suprisingly, he kissed back. One thing led to another, and...well, you get the idea. Pierre left, and Laurie discovered she was pregnant. She was able to conceal that it was Pierre's, but her mother was still shocked that her daughter was pregnant at such a young age. When Pierre got back, it was arranged for her to fake a miscarriage. A month later, Pierre revealed to everyone that he had found an abandoned baby, and was adopting it as his own. The baby diminished, and finally ended their relationship. Laurie and her mother left on one of the aid copters.
They became wanderers, finding a serviceable Winnebago, and driving all around Canada, and then America. Everywhere they went, Laurie would fall in love all over again, often with several different people, of either sex. The void left by Pierre was consuming her, leading her to become emotionally needy and incapable of monogamy. Now, Laurie is traveling out to Chicago to find out what happened to Pierre.

Mental Ailments: Sort of anal-retentive, OCD, somewhat Manic Depressive, riddled with odd neuroses.

Relatives: Her mother. Her uncle died from food poisoning.

Significant Relationships(friends, significant others, all that): Pierre Montard, ex-lover, father and caretaker of her son.

Smoker: When under extreme stress.

Drug User: A stunning array of schizo meds and crazy pills.

Medical Conditions: Somnambulance.

Medical History: Appendix and tonsils both removed.

Psych Profile: Laurel derives much of her pleasure in life from interacting with other people. The three months she spent alone before finding another survivor group was the worst time of her life. She loves the company of other people, and thrives off of love and affection. However, she does not handle rejection well. She is very self-centered for and extrovert, operating under the assumption that she is eminently lovable. She does not respond well to extreme stress, but when surrounded by people she loves and who love her back, she can be incredibly brave. Often too honest for her own good.

No. Like the character, but the ability is way too powerful. If there was no transmutation, just limited to kinetic charges, sparks, that would be fine.

[Admiral Cheesema...]

But, see, she'll basicaly NEVER reach her ultimate potential, and she has incredibly limited chemistry knowledge. By transmutation I only mean changing the state of something. Liquid to gas, gas to liquid, liquid to solid, which is done by changing the temperature, which is caused by increased atomic acceleration. Perhaps...she isn't able to convert solid to liquid yet? I solemnly swear I wouldn't godmod, and that her mastery of abilities will be extremely slow in coming. Actually, it's sort of gonna take some persuading her to even acknowledge her abilities. With such severe psychological and knowledge limitations, what seems overpowered becomes very weak. A big part of her character arc will be learning to live with the fact that she's a "freak". The assumption that anyone with an ability would really be able to use it well enough to become supremely powerful is sort of odd. What if a hydrophobic, for example, had hydrokinesis?
What if a shadow manipulator was afraid of the dark? The vast majority of people wouldn't know what do with abilities. And...to most people, Laurie is going to appear to have temperature manipulation, until one person realizes what it actually is she can do. 'Cause it won't be her. Poor girl is science-challenged.

[Jerub-baal]

Well. I guess with a lot of the other characters having either high level abilities, or complete mastery of theirs, or for the case of The Group Of Four, both, and with a few characters(Deya, for example) having the same situation of a lot of potential but currently only parts of their ability accessed...fine.

On second thought, Approved, with the caveat that there's also a limit to the range of the transmutation, let's say 10 feet, and no solid to liquid. That can(and most likely will) change through the story, and she'll be in Chicago with Ethan, who has Matter Manipulation and used to run a biotech firm, so we can always have him teach her with the chemistry.

[Admiral Cheesema...]

Thanks.

I guess with a lot of the other characters having either high level abilities, or complete mastery of theirs, or for the case of The Group Of Four, both, and with a few characters(Deya, for example) having the same situation of a lot of potential but currently only parts of their ability accessed...fine.

I was tempted to invoke Brendan in DR.

with the caveat that there's also a limit to the range of the transmutation, let's say 10 feet, and no solid to liquid.

Or solid to gas.
But agreed, it's reasonable. It's actually more fun having limits. Then you have to use your imagination to get around them.
This will be fun. But Hawaii is going to be fun, too.

great!

oh, by the way, before anyone says anything about her power. i know it sounds similiar to ben's, and in a sense it is, but the way she'll use it will be very different, and in combat it won't simply be used in an aggressive way. i'm also working on a possible for developing it.

Profession: Chief Medical Doctor with surgical skills
The Chief Medical Officer is a qualified medical doctor whose specialty is in public health and in the health of communities, rather than health of individuals.

Work History: When he interned at a local hospital in Paisley after finishing his medical studies, he ended up being spotted by the Scottish government for his...."talent" in his field. They offered him a job position that promised travel and never a dull moment. At the time he was all for it and accepted the proposition. He ended up basing out of a medical facility in Vancouver, Canada. When he was there, the first signs of outbreak were detected, bringing a halt to his mission and assigning him a completely different one. Being a Doctor of Medicine he was promptly ordered to start working on a cure for the infected. Even when it got worse, he continued his work. The main facility was attacked, forcing them to relocate to a hidden bunker. While it may not have as many resources as the original building, Paul Beckett is trying to his fullest.

Education: He always knew he wanted to be a doctor so throughout his primary schooling (middle school/high school) he worked hard to earn his way through the ranks. His father was a doctor but died of a brain hemorrhage at the age of 40. Ever since then Paul has been working to make his father proud.

Attended St. Andres in Scotland for his studies in the medical field. He excelled and graduated in the top of his class. During his internship he was found to be quite "gifted" and was moved through the remaining years of his schooling faster than the average joe.


Special Skills: excellent bedside manner, and is good at what he does (doctoring)

Combat Training: can operate a gun if he has to, not very skilled in the hand-to-hand combat area. He doesn't usually resort to violence.

Combat Experience: The many fights between Legion and Seekers

Personal History: Born and raised in Paisley, Scotland. Moved to Canada for a job position. Worked there until the outbreak of the virus strain. He never really had a steady relationship but that doesn't mean he's not likable. He buries himself in work so he is often on call so trying to even establish one is difficult. He takes care of his mum by sending money over when she needs it and tries to visit at least once a year. His father was killed by a cerebral aneurysm that ruptured at the age of 40 and Paul took it pretty hard, pressing himself to his limits and beyond to honor his memory. Despite his hard efforts, he was able to attract a beautiful woman by the name of Sheyla, later becoming his finacee, but she was among those infected and turned. He has since placed his finding of a cure on a high priority to save her and those like her.

Was apart of the excursion to search for a cure of the virus strain. Many were lost, and relationships were made that will have a lasting impression upon his heart, especially that of Eva. After the excursion, Paul lost contact with the other 3 survivors...more like he chose to sever that tie...moving to Lhasa Tibet to become a hermit and isolate himself in hopes of keeping the world out of harm's way.

IQ: 131

Sexuality: heterosexual

Religion(if any): Christian but not devout

Political Beliefs: reserved/independent

Morality: took the oath to preserve life and lives his life according to upholding that oath

Merits: just the fact that he holds his patients in such his regard and puts them first over his own life and professional status makes him honored among the public and in the work place

Flaws: each failure sets heavily upon him

Accomplishments: helped to found a cure

Failures: like ever other medical personnel, he has lost life upon the operating table and each one of those failures are etched in his head, unable to save Eva....and....he's the end of the world

Scars: Few here and there. Claw lines on her neck and shoulder

Tattoos: none

Attire: Tank tops, slim cargos with boots. Strapped to her hips are pistols, to her thigh, a knife. Sometimes a black slim, zipper up hoodie

Profession: Keeper of Knowledge/Farmer

Work History: Studied the history of the virus strain and had even made a few books herself on Seekers. She currently helps her colony with food production by stimulating the crop growth so there is always a harvest despite the cold setting in.

Education: slim…the economy has been slowly building itself back up so schools are very rare at the moment but she’s book smart.

Special Skills: street smart, knows how to handle herself considering the world she grew up in.

Combat Training: she has some training from a hand to hand combat specialist. In her colony, everyone was taught simple defense…but Deya’s thirst for knowledge had her continue her training past the required time.

Combat Experience: she grew up in a Seeker/Legion world so….I say a heck of alot

Personal History: Was born to Annette and Michael Covar. Her first few years of life were like that of any normal girl until the virus was released when she was 11, crippling the economy and causing people to draw together in small colonies.

At 5 she was told that she had an older brother name Logan, who lived with her uncle. Her parents neglected to tell her that they had abandoned him. She never knew that he lived a short distance from her, roughly 2 hours to be exact. She grew up wondering where he was and if he was alright. She would later spend free time trying to track him down.

At 11, her world drastically changed as the virus strain was released, wiping out more than half of the world’s population, turning some into demonic creatures that feasted upon human flesh. The survivors of Los Angeles, collected themselves and built a small colony where they tried to live life as normally as possible, tweaking it a tad to compensate for the growing threat of Seeker attacks. Teenagers were taught self defense and the weak spots of Seekers in case they ever encountered one.

She discovered her ability at the age of 12 when she was in the garden; she loved flowers. As she sat amongst the white lilies, she reached out and stroked the petals of one of the flowers. She felt a sudden mass of energy flow through her and the plant grew a few more inches.

It was this moment that Carlos De La Vega arrived, bearing a cure. Shortly after, Benjamin Lewis, Speaker of the Dead, arrived to tell the tale of the Group Of Four and the dead from The Year Of Trials(August 1st 2007-August 1st, 2008, when The Survivors grouped together to get The Cure). It was at this time her search for her brother was completed. It was learned that he was among a small group who went out in search for the cure…but he was among the ones who sacrificed himself for it.

Grief overwhelmed Deya…causing her to fear her power and its ability, scared she would become like her brother. Placing mental blockers up, she only allowed herself to continue stimulate the crop growth and small bursts of energy that she had discovered a year later during a Seeker attack.

Hardening her heart to the world, Deya submerged herself in books, learning as much as she could, training hard every day, preparing herself for the final fight she knew was inevitable. Even though Seekers were slim no-a-days…they were still out there.

Now, at Deya still helps with the farming, but on the side, she seeks adrenaline and helps protect the colony whenever Seekers are an immediate threat. She even accompanies any caravans going out of the colony, fully equipped and prepared for anything that may come her way.

Mental Ailments: Anxiety

Relatives: Logan Covar – older brother, parents are dead.

Significant Relationships: none -- she doesn’t allow that luxury of getting close even when her heart tells her otherwise.

Drinker: no

Smoker: no

Drug User: no

Medical Conditions: none

Medical History: Just visits to get wounds treated

Psych Profile: Almost like a split personality. She can be a hard a** one minute, but if you strike the right nerve, she can become melted butter. Of course, for the majority of the time, she has a hard heart to the world. Fairly open minded under pressure but when it comes to actually fighting, sometimes emotion and adrenaline interfere with her thought process. Scared of becoming too close to someone just to loose them, she denies herself the simple things in life like friendships and relationships. Not afraid to speak her mind. Emotionally driven. Isolates herself.

Through all his life, he has been training and usually his team-mates where from lower social classes, and him being the captain of the team became close friends with all of them, this friendships made him get some street skills, like some street fighting, opening cars and windows, and eat virtually every kind of food. He was recently called to play at the basic forces in Club Guadalajara, the club where most Mexican kids want to play, but then this whole thing started and he's currently travelling the world trying to survive. He managed to get his family to safety, and was chosen by the city to go and look for survivors. He stopped and helped the now colonies of Monterrey, LA, Chicago and then arrived at New York where he met Eva and her group and followed her.

The gang found the cure and Carlos was the one that took it to the other colonies and then distributed from there to the world. He then kept relationships with the leaders of the colonies, he was respected and beloved in his country and in LA and Chicago, although he only returned to NY city twice in 15 years and for few hours.

He became obsessed with time travelling and kidnapped a young Czech teleporter by the name of Milos Novak. He trained him, himself also becoming stronger and finally got to timeport to the past, although in a weird time travelling fight Milos prevented Carlos from reversing everything only to commit suicide moments after taking Carlos back to the future.

Trying to return to Mexico, Carlos travelled through Asia and Europe, and finally lived for a whole year in Chicago where Ethan was sick and Carlos then became close friends with Melissa, although then he hitchhiked a plane that was going to Mexico, although it needed to do a stop first in Canada, where Carlos and the crew were ambushed by several dozens of seekers, where Carlos used the full potential of his power but discovered that his ability had made him turn darker.

Prologue

"It's the first time I've had hope..."

"We are Legion"

"Do you want to see a devil...?"

"...we were once of them, and have been punished for our sins. For unleashing this plague upon the world..."

"For our Redemption, he must die"

"Whatever they told you, it was a lie.... They want to stay how they are, and make everyone else in the world like them...That's what their cure would do."

"Bridget Pratt...she created the virus...she created us..."

"Paul baby, YOU END THE WORLD!"

"Sunrise without a sun..."

Boom

And with a bang, the world changed, Fifteen Years Ago. The world has changed, a new world, a world crafted not from Sin but from one woman's Redemption. The vampirification virus which was accidentally spread by The Company was cured, and the world has rebuilt.

Yet the story is not over.

Unfortunately, the mistakes of the past seem to be doomed to be repeated. The Company, an organization who let their paranoia and drive to silence the truth of the world almost end it with a vampirification virus, has been reformed, and over the years has returned to their former glory.

The Legion, a group of half-human, half-vampire mutations, continue their mysterious agenda in secret, thought to be destroyed, they are now a legend; there are whispers of a cult of humans doing their bidding, and a plot to end the world, but do they really look to save it?

The world itself has been rebuilding, slowly but surely, but it is colder now due to the actions of the Heroes so long ago, and the world has become cold in turn. Superhumans and Humans hold a tenuous peace and cohabitation, the cure of the virus by Superhumans quickly less important in a world of 'what have you done for me lately?'

Events are soon to come which will change the world, bringing Heroes Of Days Past and a Younger Generation into conflict and friendship, as the Sins Of Their Fathers threaten the world itself.

Why We Fight

Chicago, Illinois
Day One Of The Search
IC: Ethan Evans

"Raiders!" Ethan Evans yelled, rushing through the streets of the Chicago Colony. The colony was one of the more successful colonies in the ReUnited States Of America, only Los Angeles and New York were more sophisticated. But that didn't really say much. There were buildings where multiple people lived, but most of the colony consisted of shacks, spartan living, no electricity at the moment.

But it was living, the world had been resurrected from the ashes fifteen years ago.

However, much had changed.

"Bandits, people, up and at 'em!" Ethan Evans shouted once more, the eccentric Brit with Matter Manipulation as a Godsend who formed and ran the Chicago Colony, ran through the streets, the afternoon sun beaming down on him.

Above the hill, a caravan of armored up humvees, products of the old military guard, were headed right towards the colony. Looking for supplies, for food, for raping and pillaging, they were a scourge of the colonies. The humvees were armored with gunners already shooting out of their windows, submachine gun fire spraying through the streets loudly.

"Come on!" Ethan shouted to a few people already assembled around him. "This is our home, we have built this place, with sweat and blood! This is our home, and I'll be damned if we let it fall to some bandits! We have a duty to defend our homes, to defend our families, this is why we fight!"

Odessa, Texas
Day One Of The Search
IC: Katie

The Company and The Legion were at war. An organization looking out for the greater good of mankind who had gone wrong, and the living product of their Sins. Primatech Paper was the most recent battleground, though every Company facility had been hit in recent days. The Company had managed to fight them off, while they had much superior numbers, to kill only one of The Legion was a great blow, tantamount to many Company Men dying.

Klein Weir was in his office within Primatech Paper, and The Legion were going right after him, The Company's boss. The facility was on high alert, ready to fend off any attack, and Klein had time to prepare, to marshall his forces.

Katie entered Klein's office, one of his best agents, skewed as she may have been mentally. Hopping onto the man's desk, she grinned at him. "What's up, Klein of mine? Legion again?"

[tag: Bennet]

Sanctuary
Day One Of The Search

The Legion were considered a legend, a boogeyman monster by many. Yet they had lived, guided by the visions of Orthrus, by their greater numbers with the recruitment of human followers in spots throughout the world. They had gone to war with The Company, having renewed their numbers, though creating new Legion was still a long shot.

The virus which had created their kind in the first place, the mutated strain of Shanti Virus, existed only running through their veins. They had managed to supplement their numbers by injecting that virus into favored followers as a reward, but it was a fatal procedure to the majority of the subjects.

The Legion were gearing up for battle, to vanquish those that had created them, another strike in a long and bloody war.

Irving, Texas
Day One Of The Search

Benjamin Lewis had spent a decade and more Speaking, telling the tale of those who had died in The Outbreak, acquiring The Cure, and later the stories of those who had fallen during The Reconstruction. He was a man who lived in the past, a man who dealt with death every day. Yet there were some days, some deaths that had a more immediate emotional toll to take on the man.

The cold bit at Ben, as he walked towards the graveyard. Daniel Toledo, Matthew Lewis, John Sparks, and many, many more lay there. There were settlements in Texas, but Irving, of all places, had become a mass graveyard.

It was the fifteenth anniversary of The Cure, there was a great gathering in Irving, to mourn the dead, and Ben had been brought to Speak.

Tibet
Day One Of The Search

Paul Beckett had gone from America to Tibet, and had found a purpose in life. After so much fighting, death and bloodshed, he was truly a healer once more. Paul had become a doctor without borders, and there were no shortage of people to heal. The Tibetan people and the Chinese government in charge tended to clash, the new world had never freed and given Tibet a second chance like it did so many.

Paul was in the mountains of rural Tibet, going to a small village who had been clashing with the government over the last weeks. He would heal the wounded, put his power to better use than what he had been told it was fated to do, to end the world.
