"Whoa! Is, is that a kid?" Said the 1st cop with shock.
" I, I think it is." said the 2nd cop.
"Did one of them do it?" said the 1st cop.
as cop 2 turns over the body, it falls apart, and maggots go everywhere making the 1st cop start to barf.
"it was the reavers all right, must of been about a month ago."said the 2nd cop says.
then, out of the shadows, 2 big, 3 fingered hands grab the 1st cop and rip him in half,blood spraying everywere.
the 2nd cop quickly pulls out his gun and shoots the reaver between the eyes. but when he turns around, he comes face to face with another. it proceeds to grab him by the head and crush it, splattering blood above the dead boy.

----
a group of soldiers arrives at the scene 2 days later.
the sergeant says" looks like reavers, happened bout a month ago, else the maggots wouldn't be so numerous."
then the soldiers hear screams from the shadows and then see group of reavers come charging out of the shadows howling like the animals they are.
"run!" yells the sergeant, only a little to late.
as the reavers tackle soldiers and mutilate them , only 3 are able make it back to the truck alive.

as they drive out of the forest, the reavers that follow burn in the sunlight.
the sergeant says softly" great, another failed mission. but why were the reavers still there, they never stay longer than a month in any location."
as they arrive at the city orion, they fall silent...

__________________________________________________ _______________

this is earth in 2143, only 30 years ago an experiment some humans were doing went haywire creating the reavers. over those years the reavers destroyed city after city, destroying life as we know it. they killed off almost every other animal except those that evolved fast enough to get away,which wasn't many. now there are only a hand full of cities left, the biggest is orion.for protection every city has huge walls to keep out the reavers, although it doesn't always work.
----

a reaver is about a foot taller than a human, has a bulky body and is hump backed. there bodies have a segmented tough leather layer as skin,like an exoskeleton(they still do have there normal skeleton)every where but there face, making that there weak point.they are purplish black colored. its neck is about a 2 feet long. its head looks like a humans except with sharp teeth. long arms with only 3 long bulky, long fingers, one that acts like a thumb. it legs are big and also bulky, with 2 toed feet.the only difference between males and females is females have tails. when a reaver bites something,it releases a chemical that attracts so many flies that in less than a few hours, a body can seem like its been there for weeks. this is because, seeing as how they leave an area after a month,it draws less caution if you think there gone.almost no one knows about this.reavers also live in packs of 7 to 30, although sometimes some will temporarily fuse.
----

you are citizen living in orion, in either district 1,2,3 or 4(high,middle,or low class.4 is not actually a class, but means your a known criminal and wanted. ) you must survive in a world where every city is slowly dieing. prices are high and the law ignored more the higher the district number. night brings terror and outside the walls is never safe. in this world you must survive...

Pic is sorta related. Just no wings and multi colored eyes and no crosses. I just wanted a more visual referance than a descriptive one.

**lord commissar klimino**

ok. pic is a good idea. one thing though,change 4 to 3. 4 (as it says) is not really a district,its just what they classify known criminals and wanted people. so unless her parents made her a criminal at birth,she wouldnt be their...a baby being wanted for a crime...that would be epic/very odd...

**yeroc500**

Oh she's a criminal because she's a wanted hitman. Plus her parent had set a bounty on her when they found that she was alive. Their city officials too.

ok,that clears it up. thanks

**lord commissar klimino**

you start in the oval/circle. ill put up intro soon.

**lord commissar klimino**

orion, the biggest strong hold of earth left. it is dying. it cannot continue without supplies,but they have been cut off. with the lower districts rationing,riots have started and peace is hard to keep. orion has become a heated pot,about to boil over

edgar as your taking a walk in the hot summer sun,you hear the siren,which means some more low life have broken into district 1. as you head for the nearest building,some police go by. but then you look across the street into an alleyway,and see some armed thugs coming out.as they leave,they turn and start firing on all they see.men scream,blood spills, and policemen fire back. then your knocked to the ground by a woman who is then shot.as she lands on you,a police officer yells at you to get inside.

meredith as you sit in the shade at a run down bar,you scan the customers. no sign of any jobs it seemed. you over hear a few drunkards talking about some raid going on at this very moment. then you hear someone say "hey gorgeous girl, want to *hic* have a good time? its dangerous in these *hic* parts,why dont i protect you?" as you try to make him leave,he reaches out and touches you. "ooo,nice. and i *hic* dont like hearing 'no' girl."

tzak as your sitting at home,you hear a knock. "sir,its time for your annual tests." sigh,you cant say no,and its nothing inhuman,but it certainly is annoying. as you gather your things and go out,you meet your 'friend; tomas. he was a nice enough fella,if not over the top proud of his job as a police officer. "this way sir." yes,you knew the way. a you are walking to the medical bay,a car explodes next to you. as tomas jumps in front of the blast,he is knocked into you and you both hit the ground. as you get up,you see no one is coming to kill you,but tomas is bleeding badly. "f-forget about m-me...g-go-go report this..." if he dosent get help soon,he will die.

ebonfire as your walking along,you look around. a fight here,a stand there.all the same,all run down and old. all near the wall. the highmen weren't stupid,if the wall fell,district 1 would be the last to die. then,you turn to see some guards coming. they looked angry. you knew they weren't after you,otherwise they would be shooting by now. then,they open fire on some guy. as he is turned into swiss cheese,no one even looks. all normal now a days. as you keep walking,you are pushed down by some woman,who keeps running. you then realize she stole your wallet. as you start chasing her,you see something bad.the cops are to. if they get to her 1st,they will claim your money as evidence.

**Kasrkai**

Ebonfire chased the woman down the street. He didn't keep a lot in that wallet, it was just the principal of the thing. Seeing that she has another pursuer, she darts into and alley, desperate to break chase. Ebonfire draws his revolver and follows suit. The woman reaches a dead end, pinned between him and the surrounding walls. Now that he has her pinned, he grips his gun firmly between both hands, pointing it over her heart.
"Ten seconds. Give my money back. After that, I don't care."

**yeroc500**

Crack...... Meredith sighted the dead reaver. It lay where she had stopped it. She got up and put away her sniper. She pulled out her MP5 and scanned the general area. The city was visible about a mile away and the light eminating from it made it stick out like a sore thumb. She started to run across the desert. She heard it. A slight pad of feet hitting the dusty ground. She looked behind her and saw the reaver. She could see it perfectly. She turned on a dime and waited. It came within 20 yards and she struck it down with a single bullet. But it was a reaver strong and resilient. So she shot it again. It jerked backwards. Guts flew from the two bullet holes. She smiledas it fell. She heard the dead wait sag and knew it was dead. A roar could be heard and suddenly a dune buggy pulled up next to her. Jester her only friend was at the driver seat. He glanced at the barely visible body and snorted. He never was ceased to be amused by her Accuracy. She hopped in and kissed him on the cheek. He wasnt complaining. He was like her father she never had. He felt like it was that way. She pulled the sniper out as they sped away. She started disesembling the gun. She miticulously picked little grains of sand out with tweezers she had pulled out of her now undone hair. She then reassembled it. The city was in plain sight by then. Jester drove around scraps of burned out husks of vehicles. He came to a specific husk and got out. Meredith followed. They pushed the buggy into its hiding place and replaced the scrap peices. Meredith then walked over to the husk and went inside of it. It was a mass transport bus. She went to the stairs leading to the buried bottom. She went down them and found the trap door inlaid into the floor. She openned it and went down it. She land with a thud and started walking towards the exit light. Another thud sounded and she heard Jester grunt. She walked into the backroom of a gunshop. Guns of all kinds lined the walls. She walked over to a side room and went in. She shut the door and sat on her bed. She unpacked the goods she had aquired. Ten reaver claws. Zenod would be happy to have them. He needed them was the proper term. But he'd never admit that. Meredith then put her guns into a specially fitted chest for her specific guns. She then pulled off the tactical camo vest. She folded it and placed it in the drawer next to her bed. She then pulled the kbar out of its sheath and flipped it over in her hands. She did that when she was nervous. She sheathed it and layed on her bed. She fell asleep.

Meredith woke up with a start. Her alarm was going off. She stretched and got up. She was sore from yesterday. She got dressed and geared up and walked out of her room. She made sure to grab the reaver claws. She walked out of the backroom into the big front room. It had more weapons than the CDF's standard armory. She waved at Jester and walked out into the still dark streets of district 4. She quickly skirted into the shadows. The shop was illegal. Few knew about it. One couldnt travel here without consent. She was a criminal so she didnt have one. She slowly moved towards a house a few blocks away. She walked in a side door. A hulk of a thing stood in the centet. It was Zenod. He was a mutant. Except he had surgical mutations instead of birth mutations. He smiled as she. presented the claws. Heneeded them for hus currently no fingered hands. She set them on a counter and grabbed the bag of credits he had thrown at her. This was all that happened ever. They never talked except on rare occasions. She counted the credits and left. To go and receive the next assignment.

**yeroc500**

oops sorry i didnt know you were goin to start. my b.

**lord commissar klimino**

ebonfire "oh dear god,oh dear f***ing go-" and with that her 10 seconds were up and you fired. as you reclaim your wallet and slip out,you see the cops run in a little after. as you head off,your stomach growls. you need food. but prices were high,with the rations and all. it was alot for just some baby carrots,even more for water.yet they didnt ration beer,so the pubs and bars stayed open and busy,as they usually had cheaper,if not questionable,food.

**lord commissar klimino**

yeroc500 wrote:oops sorry i didnt know you were goin to start. my b.

ha ha,just jump right in.

**lord commissar klimino**

ummm,yeroc...to tie it in to my intro post... you are sent to the bar to wait on the man who want to hire you...then my thing happens...

**yeroc500**

Meredith twists his wrist and he squeels in pain. The man quickly backs off, but she was pissed. She flip twists over him and pulls out her kbar. She grabs his neck and puts the knife just barely into his neck. He backs off and walks away. A man walks up after she sits back down. Zerod has another assignment here it is. She takes the letter and opens it.

**lord commissar klimino**

meredith note: go out of the city. there are some traders held up in a shed some 15 miles from the wall.kill them.you can keep their money,but return with the blue mans skull.

**lord commissar klimino**

(also dont forget reavers burn in the sun light so they only come out at night.)

**Kasrkai**

Ebonfire checked his wallet. Yes, it was all there. The little there was to begin with, anyway. Looks like cheap food and beer. Again.
He couldn't run the risk of stealing a meal. Too many people on edge. Especially cops. Ebonfire slunked over to the nearest pub, shackly little place, stuffed with rejects and hungry folk. He took a seat and waited on the bartender, a portly man, despite the fact that he could almost certainly not afford the amount of food to fill him.

"What's it gonna be?"
Ebonfire checked his wallet.
"What can I get with a twenty?"
The bartender shrugged.
"Some leftovers, a glass of watered-down poison."
"It'll float."

**lord commissar klimino**

ebonfire as your food arrives,you look up to see a strange man leaving. you hear someone say that he is some kind of 'rich underground gang lord' who hires random people to kill for him as you look down at your food,you see it really is some random stuff thrown together as a stew and water with some 'poison' floating above it. luckily the straw goes straight to the water. then some big guy in a cop vest comes in,looks at you and then leaves.

**Kasrkai**

Ebonfire had seen some nasty stuff, but the liquids actually separating? Na.
But a rich man? Paid to kill? Sounds right up his alley. He grabbed the plate and downed its contents, ignoring the odd smell.
Then he stopped. What about the cop? Then he shook it off. Probably was looking for the one who killed that woman and just didn't recognize him. He stepped out the door, not in much of a hurry. He never forgot a face. And usually didn't pay his tab.
