"I like tiny stuff!"
(Anyone's allowed to read the story, but don't post. No touching, only looking (and likes and hearts and stuff).
So. I don't have a ton of time on my hands. Posts will probably be short-ish, spaced out poss. 2-4 days or longer apart (though every day is the creme de la creme, esp. for the chosen partner).
This will be a MxF story (I'll be playing the female). I'm a 30yo female, and I'm looking for a guy around the age of 30 (21-35 maybe) to play the male side.
I have some rules for this tale:
1. No: sex, demons, ghosts, preferably magic, or rap music (lol).
2. No controlling each other's chara (except possibly durring fighting scenes), 1-2 posts per person in turns, only up to short paragraphs (I don't have time to read through a lot when I log on), swearing and other mature content is fine. If there's something that either of us have a problem with before or during the story, throw up a separate post with parentheses hugging it in the thread (or included in any posts before the story begins).
Here's one I've come up with:
1. "...Flowers In Your Hair." A dystopian tale of a 22 y.o. girl who's going to attempt a dangerous journey from Chicago to San Francisco through Raider-infested territory. She was an assistant to a traveling doctor who has just passed. San Francisco is a safe, newly fortified walled city, and she's heading there on Doc's dying request.Shes going to hire a bodyguard/navigator (your Chara)(and possibly a friend of your Chara, if you're interested in taking on 2. My orig. version of this story had 2 guys) to get her there in one whole piece (hopefully). They'll be driving an old station wagon loaded with medical supplies and provisions for the trip. I'll make some clarifying statements on the story. This is based on an rp I started in 2014 and didn't get to finish. I've since tried to write offline stories based on the vague beginning of this rp, which differed significantly. The one I outlined in the first post was one of my altered versions. It takes place slightly in the future from now in a war-torn U.S. plagued by semi-roving gangs that are based in areas all over the country. It's one large conglomerate broken into branches with leaders who lord over certain territory, usually near cities but on the outskirts. They pillage, murder, rape, et cetera, and they've captured whole buildings, along with most of the gas stations (mostly along major highways) which they use to finance their camps and expand their reach. Most large towns and cities don't allow Raiders (as they're called) into city limits, checking the palms of everyone's hands for the membership brand.
(I'll add more to this, but I have to go offline just now.)
(Here's the continuation: )
Quite a bit of infrastructure was damaged in the war (no nukes, though). Small cities haven't really been rebuilt, larger ones are working on it. There's electricity but that's also mostly centered in the Big Apples of the country. You can have batteries and devices charged at second-hand shops there -- for a price, of course. But cell service is down thanks to the lack of towers.
Hmm, what else? I guess I could give my Chara a bit more detail.
She grew up on a homestead in a forrest in Michigan, farming, fishing, reading, writing and hunting. Hunting for game made her a crackshot, bow, rifle or slingshot. Her mother taught her homemaker skills that she uses only when she needs to, though she's proficient at cooking, dealing with kids, and an expert at sewing -- but that skill was perfected later. She's got mental scars on top of the physical ones (she hides those). She has an affinity for yellow-flowered fields in the evening, loves dancing among raging techno crowds (when she makes it into a city), fireworks and explosions, and her sad little iPod that's filled with someone else's music. She's been an assistant/apprentice to a traveling Doctor who moves around the Central and South-Eastern part of the land, moving between small camps and towns with no physician. She's never been farther than Kansas City toward the West, this being the reason she wants a navigator for the imminent trip. Doc has just died from a gunshot wound. At his suggestion, Ria sells most of the medical supplies they were toting in the wagon to the local hospital to raise funds, made some plans, bought provisions to get halfway across the country, and hung up posters across the city of Chicago requesting a bodyguard/navigator. She told interviewees to call at the front desk of a hotel, where they'd be sent straight to her. After an entire day of meeting possibles, she's tired and frustrated.
And that's where you come in.
{My Chara:
Name: Arlandria "Ria" Tellion.
Age:22.
Appearance: Dark brown wavy hair about shoulder length, tan skin, green eyes--shes a mutant!, freckles, about 5'5" tall. Wears no make-up, ties her hair up in old bandanas to keep it out of her way when working, cargo pants, jeans, print t-shirts and flannel, hardy and comfy boots. No jewelry, but wears an unidentifiable perfume--
Personality: Sturdy, quiet, only open with her friend (who she's leaving behind because he and his g.f. won't come with her). }
[Your chara:
Character Name: Collin "Granite" Richards
Age: 25
Appearance: Collin usually a wide brimmed hat with a decent amount of body armor sewn into his usual duster jacket. Collin enjoys wearing old world luxurious clothing, having grown up in a settlement where he regularly watched wild west movies on a traveling merchants projector screen. His hair is a muddy brown, usually a close cut by Crystal. Being more of the muscle in the Duo- he is relatively strong built. Scars cover his tan skin, usually dealing with sunburn and stubble being on the road often
Personality: Collin is normally quiet and keeps to himself- preferring silence and a book over the usual loud parties he usually has to attend as a mercenary/hitman. When provoked he is terrifying, expertly taking down enemies in combat with a willingness to live that gave him the alias "Granite"- following a particularly deadly betrayal he survived .
Character Name: Crystal
Age: 20
Appearance: Crystal usually wears provocative and less armored clothing for her usual activities- being theft, scamming , and running away from her marks after they discover her misdeeds. her hair is cut short in order to better disguise herself, along with avoiding her hair from being grasped while fleeing. She is free of any major (Visible) Scarring, other than a scar on her cheek she usually conceals with old-world makeup.
Personality: Crystal fully embraces the chaos of the new world, regularly trying any fancy that comes to mind- to Collin's annoyance. Most would write her off as unreliable due to this, but in a fight, Crystal will quickly dispatch enemies with "Slugger", an autographed baseball bat she stole from a museum- though Collin has to maintain it because she forgets to do so. Crystal is seductive at times, but appears to only do so for a purpose- whether its getting a target in an isolated room or grabbing some cash off a random drunkard.]
