OK so here it is, my second RPG (third if you count Rak'noll-continued) and I intend to make this a good one. OK it may not be the best time seeing as there are already a lot of other good RPG's out there, but in two days there will be christmas hols for me so I have loads of time, and to be honest, I have thought about this for quite some time, and I can't contain it any more, so I might as well give it a chance.

Anyway this is the story, right now iit may not sound like, that strong or anything but more of the story will be revealed in time.

[i]It all started with the President of the U.S.A being assassinated. It was established that he had been killed by plasma shots. Soon more world leaders were assassinated in the same way, but, then the Priminister of England was saved from an assassination attempt and the assassin was terminated. It was an extra torrestoral being. Then alien ships started appearing all over the earth, and they opened fire.
Thier technology was superior, thier warriors supreme, and they were winning.
Then Earth made a last desperate attempt to secure humankinds survival. All forces, all weapons made an attack at the opposing aliens, both sides fired explosives at eachother, it was too much for the planet and it became a wasteland, and the war was a stalemate, Earth's military was obliterated, and only few scattered aliens survived, and buried themselves deep underground, making new small bases, preparing to try and take this planet. For humans, only some small towns and handfuls of people survived, and tried to make a new start, scavenging food and supplies, trying to make seperate communities again. But it seems the fight with the aliens is not finished, travellers are encountering more elite aliens, some stealthy ones with energy melee weapons that were called Phantoms, some bulky ones with immense strength that were called Tanks, others that have immense accuracy that were called Eagles, and many more that continue to make life as difficult as possible. Not only that but humans have been taken by the aliens and have been experimented on to try and make better soldiers for the aliens, none have survived it, but one may soon. Because of the harshness of these alien brutes they have been called the RAWM (relentless aliens without mercy). Now people are trying to get on with thier lives but it is near impossible with all the dangerous of the wastelande that is called Earth. But they try to SURVIVE.
So that is the story, if you want to join you must make a char sheet like this,

(If you can provide a suitable pic for your character then that would be great)

I will be the GM, but if there are any other experienced GM's who are willing, they can GM instead

Please join, and have a good day

Meh.. maybe. Not much information there for us to work with..

Basically while your like all roleplaying, trying to survive etc. events will happen which push the story further and you encounter new types of aliens etc.

Maybe I should be GM after all...

Well what do you think?

I think you need far more information. Allow me to present one of my own, very humble examples: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/304483.page



Maybe one day I'll re-start that one, I did like it. We never did get to finish off the cultist story, close that warp-gate or fight those Eldar pirates.. ah well.


AND WOOP WOOP on 3k posts for me!

Personal Notes:
He almost never speaks. He does what he's told, but I can't shake the feeling he's always hiding something. He's never said anything about his past since we found him in the ruins up in New York.

Ya, that would be nice. Just so you know,I aint on the computer 24/7,so I may miss some stuff.

Hmmm insane huh? Sounds good.


But can you please just say what skills he has?

I would just like to say that it would be so much easier if you were all in the same country for the sake of interaction between players, I don't mind which country, you can just decide between you which, but please do as it would make it all much more interesting.

Hmm I think we need about one or two more players...

He's mad and probaly fearless , can climb walls and all sorts of crazy stuff.

Ah k sounds very cool

how about the country that were from is just our home land and were in,I dont know..... New York?

(just gonna put my $00.02 worth in here) everything happens to ny in movies books games etc, pick somwhere else

Name: Terence Blackwood
Age: early 30's (unsure lost track of time)
Appearance: medium height and build with disinctly unremarkable features, he could be anybody, his back hair is swept back from his eyes and reaches to his shoulders, dark forbidding eyes quickly silence anyone ho prys into his past. A leather jacket worn from long use has several holsters sewn into its underside from which 2 silenced pistols hang. His loose jeans held in place with a many notched belt and black shirt give a slightly menacing air to his appearance which is quickly swatted aside as you notice the silver locket around his neck, small and dull it is never opened. Across his chest and back a battered bandolier holds a practically built rifle with a hunting scope on his back, his boots and gloves (both worn leather) show the wear of long years of intensive use, the pistols and rifle look comfortable in his hands as if they had been used many times.

Height: Medium height

Personality: Quite and calm with a slightly warped sense of humour, his mind quickly jumps to making detailed plans of many senarios for defense and assault as soon as he is given a task involving his 3 little friends.

Equipment: A broad knife hiddenin one boot, 2 silenced pistols (9mm), rifle (303) with hunting scope tuned for long distance work, kevlar lining in his jacket.

Skills: Long practice in the feild of stealth and disguise, dealdly accurate with his rifle and pistols and his hidden knife has surprised many of his foes with its speed and ruthless targeting of vital organs and the eyes.

History: Growing up in a army family he was quickly loined into the infantry division, at the age of 17, after 3 years of training and ops he was picked for the elite sniper corps after showing skill with the rifle, after anouther 5 years he was a cold killer his mo silent and calm. However he was instructed to kill a promenint military leaders son, a 750 metre shot in a major city, seeing the killing of an innocent child as deeply wrong he instead fired a shot that killed the leader himself, learning only afterwards that the leader was one of his superiors he dissapeared out of sight and mind of the world, emerging only to take anouther bloody trophy taking vengeance on the people who ruined his career, when the aliens came he was in a building in London pulling the trigger on his last target, just as this happened an explosion rocked through the building as highly advanced ordanance began to pound the city, making his escape he traveled to mainland europe attempting to evade the now leathal army behind him, discovering that the rest of the world was now under similar attacks he sought out some of his oldest contacts for the last time, they told him of a group of people that were fighting the aliens, calmly he thanked his contact and made his way to the self appointed milita with a cold fury in his heart.

ok....How's about the city of Toronto in Ontario,Canada?

sounds good

all right! How many more people do we need to start?

Shall we say that we should start at 5?

Veeery nice char Marta

Argh screw it we can start now, just do your introductory posts, we can get more players while we go allong.





Edit: I'll be on later to assess whats happened and maaaaybe start to think of an event for the future.

srry,dude,but I dont know how to do a intro post,as this is my first RPG thing.

Could you explain for me?

here ill do one and you can follow suit

From his vantage point atop the ruins of one of the higher buildings in the city Terence looks down upon a single weary civilian trudging through the ruins, a lage pack on his back, probably carrying the only worldly possessions he has, squinting through his scope he watches the lone figure and observes several shadows darting between the ruins behind him. Exhaling calmly he scans the rougues, they are a pitiful bunch, a knife here and there about five all told, piece of cake. Sucking in a slow breath and holding it he lines up his first target and gently squeezes the trigger, the gun kicks in his hands and the rippling crack echoes around the city as the first of the bandits falls, all of the others dive into the cover of the ruins and the civilian has the prescence of mind to flee down an allyway, Terence quickly slings the rifle over his shoulder and leaping nimbly from the two story roof onto a sloped roof just below he slides down and jumps landing in a crouch not 15 metres from the closest rogue, deftly pulling his two pistols out he puts a bullet througheach of the eyes of the man closest to him, spinnin to avoid a wizzing blade the second is brought down as he slams the man in the back of the knee with his foot and calmly puts the pistol in his right hand to the mans temple, pluuing the trigger he uses the momentum of the shot to spin him around his second pistol comes up to blast a shot between the 4th mans eyes, holstering the guns he ducks under the last mans arm and in a move born of years of practice he pulls his knife out of his boot, simoultaneously grabbing the mans arm and twisting it around, the back of the mans neck is opened with a sray of blood as the knife slis between two of the mans neck vetebrae. The mans head flops forwards as his body follows it to the ground. Looking up and cleaning the blood of his knife he mutters to himself, "the sooner these people show themselfs the better"

(btw yours doesnt have to be as long as mine i just like detail)
