RP Thread: COMING SOON!
CS Discussion: Forum/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=4724054&p=138207766#p138207766

UPDATE: Applications for Western Tribe aside from 1 Navigator and 2 Builders are closed. All unoccupied ranks available in Eastern unless otherwise specified.

It's year 2250. Over the past hundred years, temperatures have lowered. Humanity has entered yet another ice age, and with it, ten years of drought. Water is difficult to come by, even more so than food. The temperature continues to remain low, the land is a frozen desert, buildings are ruined and abandoned. Businesses have crumbled, history records and technology have been lost almost completely. It’s up to the characters to figure out a way to navigate this wasteland and rebuild their society, all while avoiding starvation and dehydration, freezing, turning on each other, or worst of all; Natural disasters. Like the violent storms that rage across the globe, tearing apart giant sheets of ice to create great cavities in the earth.

It is a lawless world now. No law, no order, only chaos. They’re rebuilding from the bottom up, and for now, the surviving population have been split into two tribes, Western and Eastern. On top of all the natural threats, the tribes often worry about each other, fighting over meagre supplies. They also have the shared worry of loners; People who have broken off from their tribe, either by choice, or as outcasts for breaking some rule set by the individual tribe, as those loners also need the precious few resources available.

Further information to be discussion via discussion overtime if anyone has questions.

3. The rules are subject to change, and changes will be announced.

4. You may have as many characters as you can actively play, active being posting at least once a week.

9. NO godmodding or powerplaying.

10. All CS rules apply at all times.

11. Romance is permitted, even encouraged, but it is not the main focus, as plot is VERY important to keep this going. Please make characters who have more importance than romantic interests.

Western Scout- Galaxystar01
Eastern Hunter Trainee- Galaxystar01

[sunhorsestar]

Name: Sterling Rena Robyn
Age: 28
Gender: Cis Female
Pronouns: She/Her

Personality: Sterling is rather serious in comparison to some, and very curious. However, she’s also at the same time very chill, not having the chaotic energy of some of the folks she sees around her, and preferring quite spaces and conversation that makes her think. She likes philosophizing and exploring theories, putting fact to theory. She likes socializing to a degree, but cannot stand it when others are rude in the slightest without reason, and is unafraid to stand up to them, which she knows may come off as being a bit headstrong or blunt, making her difficult, but she doesn’t care. Sterling has a will of iron, and will stand up firmly for what she believes in, even if in the end it causes her harm.

Sterling seeks knowledge, rather than fame or power. She wants to be a mentor or teacher of sorts one day, and believes she needs to gain more knowledge and information in order to do so. She’s a fast learner, and has a good memory. Sterling has a love of learning in general and can almost always be found somewhere poking around, caving to her curiosities. She doesn’t smile a lot around most people, and conceals emotions as not to allow herself to overreact to things or be too open.

Sterling is quite determined when she sets her mind to something. She doesn’t give up unless she has no choice. She doesn’t have a big sense of humour, and finds joking and pranks useless wastes of time, however, that doesn’t she doesn’t enjoy having lighthearted fun from time to time. She doesn’t like idle chitchat, and prefers deep and meaningful conversation. Sterling prefers to watch others from a distance and study different social behaviours for a while before she approaches, and she does not care others' opinions on her, as a result.

History: Full story in RP. She lets on that her family was not very accepting of her when she came out as bi, and that she ended up largely alone until the arrival of a friend.

Crush: None yet/open to discussion
Sexuality: Bisexual, monogamous

Rank: Artisan
Tribe: Western

Appearance: Sterling is 5'8, with straight black hair and blue eyes, and dark olive skin. She favours fashion over comfort, but if there's an option for some of both, will take it.

[sunhorsestar]

Name: Ryder Harding
Nicknames: Feel free to give him one!
Age: 27
Gender: Cis Male
Pronouns: He/Him

Personality: Ryder is a loyal friend through and through. He’s there when a friend finds themselves in a pinch, and will take any necessary measures— and then some, sometimes— to ensure their safety and survival. Be it a family member, a regular friend, or at times, even stepping in to help a stranger. He can’t stand to see someone suffering needlessly.

Ryder has a big heart, which is his greatest strength and greatest weakness, both generous and kind, sensitive and empathetic…and gullible, unfortunately. He’s smart, but sometimes he doesn’t know when to use it. There’s a difference between intelligence and wisdom. They say opposites attract, and in Ryder's case, that’s exactly right. He finds those who AREN'T like him the most interesting, the most fascinating to get to know and observe.

Ryder is aggression-prone, yes, but not in such a way he'll jump into any fight. He’s willing and ready to fight at a moment's notice, but he knows how to pick his battles. He doesn’t like to pick petty fights or cause harm just for the sake of the drama is causes. If it comes to a loved one being threatened or hurt though, he won’t turn a blind eye. He is a calmer presence than many of his age group, and, unlike some, takes whatever he does seriously. Every. Little. Thing. He dislikes large events, and would gladly die his friends. Literally, if need be.

Ryder is confident enough that he has a sense of self esteem and knows his own limits, and what he can do, but he’s not in any sense cocky. He’s sensitive emotionally, and sometimes that gets in the way as one of his biggest challenges. He doesn’t have the control over his own emotions, and that sometimes obstructs his focus or sense of the depth of a situation, causing him to believe things are worse than they are, or blow things out of proportion when he’s angry or afraid.

Crush: None yet, open to discussion
Sexuality: Bi with a slight male lean, monogamous.

Rank: Warrior
Tribe: Western

Appearance: 6'1, with blond hair about shoulder length, and dark green eyes. Has a better eye for fashion than some people, but will mostly find himself wearing whatever is most comfortable.

[sunhorsestar]

Name: Connall Donovan Walker
Nicknames: Connie
Age: 35
Gender: Cis Male
Pronouns: He/Him

Personality: Connall is brave and yet, not an inherent risk-taker. He’s a strategist, likes to plan out his moves in advance before he makes them, so he doesn’t end up like his brother, who was lost in the initial fall of civilization due to taking unnecessary chances. Connall is kind and patient in general, but reserved. It’s hard to crack his shell. He'll share his history, he'll be nice, but he won’t reveal much about his inner self or true personality without either good strategical reason, or genuine trust.

Connall is easily flustered despite a hardened, slightly cold outer face, and is quite often in denial the times he’s put on the spot. He’s a leader figure, but not by choice. He only took the initiative to lead due to many other people standing around unsure what to do, and he wanted to give them a chance at getting out in time. He’d much prefer to be a follower, as used to leading as he is. He struggles with high anxiety, yet does his best to conceal it for fear it would cause his tribe to waver or become more anxious themselves.

Connall is a thrill-seeker. He loves the adrenaline, loves the adventure, However, he’s well aware that those same risks could lead to serious trouble, and does what he can to avoid it coming to that. He realizes that it’s very likely that if he finds himself in trouble, that trouble will likely make its way back to the entire tribe.

With people he doesn’t know or care about, Connall can on occasion come off as cold and unfeeling. He'll be respectful, but that’s about it. With enemies, he has no mercy, even when perhaps he should. However, with the people he’s close to, Connall is a very openly affectionate man. He’s happy to display his care and support in any way he can, even at the detriment of himself.

History: Connall isn’t shy about talking about most of his history. The only part he won’t really elaborate on is his tough family life. Beyond that, he was there when what was called The Fall happened, almost twenty years ago, when civilization failed them. He was fifteen when he watched cities crumble, when his own hometown was destroyed by the new ice age and the thunderstorms. Neither of his parents survived it.

Connall himself hurried to collect what few survivors he could find and form a small tribe to escape the failing civilization. Eventually…it was all empty. The city had no resources left for them, and they were forced to set out in search of food, water, shelter. He does his best for the tribe, but there are still days when he wants to give up, and hope this is all a terrible nightmare.

Crush: None yet, open to discussion
Sexuality: Bi with no lean, monogamous

Rank: Leader and founder
Tribe: Western

Appearance: Connall is 6'3 and very muscular and stocky in build, with brown hair, light tan skin, and greenish hazel eyes. He doesn’t care much about his clothing style. In an ice age, he just wants whatever he can find to keep him warm so he doesn’t freeze to death.

Tokala was born in the mountains of Alaska, to a close N
ative American tribe. Several natural disasters occurred
within a short period, & his parents decided the best thi
ng for him was to send him someplace safe. He was flow
n to Central America when he was eleven, where they k
new their family friends of the Robyn family would watch
out for him. He's been in the tribe since he was twelve.

He's also incredibly protective; this can
make him a bit impulsive, in fact, for he
tends to act before thinking if standing

nickname Bear back home, which refer

Others later, just wanted to make sure I got Kade in.


Name: Kaden Isaac Turner
Nicknames: Kade
Age: 19
Gender: Cis Male
Pronouns: He/Him

Personality: Kade is social enough. He likes making friends, and is kind to anyone who’s kind to him. He's very family oriented as well, not having much family left, but highly protective over the one family member he has left. Would like to have a family of his own one day, get married, settle down, but he understands that’s well in the future, once they’ve stabilized themselves and settled down. That said, he wouldn’t mind the chance to get to know someone— and possibly fall in love along the way— being the hopeless romantic he can be at times.

Kade is not the most courageous fellow, unfortunately, and hopes to work on becoming a braver soul in the near future. He's trying, taking on more dangerous assign,ends in hopes he may lose his fear. He's willing to take risks, to a degree, but sometimes needs to be pushed. He wants to help those around him, and enjoys the little things in life. He’s a hard worker, and he’s loyal to a fault. He'll do absolutely anything for his loved ones, even if it means he himself gets in trouble. He takes his job very seriously, sometimes able to do a complete turnaround from casual to professional in a very short period of time. He can be very formal when doing business, but is otherwise pretty peppy and upbeat, more than willing to reach out to try and make friends, and can go from casual to professional in the blink of an eye.

He might not look like much, but don't be fooled. Kade is an ambitious young man, though not in an aggressive way, per se. He’s a bit gullible, unfortunately, and quite clumsy when he’s not actively paying attention and trying to keep himself in check. Which contradicts his generally good sense of self and perception, but he IS a bit of a daydreamer. Also something he wants to work on.

He unfortunately suffers from bouts of SEVERE anxiety, bordering on paranoia when there’s genuine reason to be concerned, but he isn’t afraid to stand up for those who cannot or will not stand up for themselves. He likes the thought of an adventure, but unless he’s pushed into it, he won’t go out of his way to take part in one.

Kade has a dream to become a Second or, dare he push it, the Leader one day, and he's determined to work towards it, though never at cost of others. Should the position never open in his time, he’s more than content to serve where he is, however. More than anything else though, he seeks acknowledgement from his friends, from his allies, even from the currently standing Leader and Second themself. He’s done hard work, but often finds himself in an awkward position. After all, acknowledgement and being in the spotlight frequently are two different things, and he’s so far not so fond of the latter. He wants to make himself a better person, to keep moving forward, never to stand in one place too long.

Around people he’s found himself interested in, romantically or otherwise, Kade worries so much about not coming off wrong that, contracting his own intentions, unfortunately, he often becomes awkward and starts stammering, tripping over his own words, or backtracking on what he’s just said.

History: Kade has been through a lot. Perhaps fortunately, he doesn’t remember most of it. Having had a pretty severe concussion at age 14, it’s only been the past five years or so that he’s been trying to recover. He still has some issues on occasion. Trying his best to create and hold on to new memories. He wants a family of his own one day, despite his own family drama from the past. Likely he doesn’t remember that drama, however.

Kade joined up with the tribe when he was very young, having been an infant at the time of The Fall. His mother brought him to the tribe before she died, trying to protect him from the worst of the elements, and in doing so, sacrificing her own life. Kade has no memory of this, and nobody to tell him about it, now, he’s just trying to live life to the fullest.

Crush: None yet, open to discussion! (Anyone?)
Other Family: Lily Turner (mother, deceased), Aaron Turner (father, deceased), Dana Turner (younger sister, NPC unless someone wants to claim her)

Sexuality: Bi with no lean, monogamous

Rank: Captain
Desired Rank: Leader
Tribe: Eastern

Appearance: Kade is 5'7, with dark blue eyes, dark olive skin, and an average build, with some muscle. He has brown hair and would LIKE to do some dye on the tips at some point, but has yet to have the chance. His style is casual and practical

I watch the moon

Let it run my mood

name. Annora Lee Armani
nickname/s. Anne (others open to creativity
age. 25
gender. female
pronouns. she/her
rank. warrior
desired. lead warrior
tribe. Western

personality. Annora is a very imaginative young woman who enjoys thinking on her feet and creating or following strategies for almost anything. She is strong-willed but not in an obnoxious way, more so in a way that says she will not stand for any attacks made on herself or those she cares about and will most likely not let her guard down until she is alone unless she trusts you. She has always been curious about the world and enjoys having fun but also on the other hand she is not deterred by an intellectual challenge. She is more of a mediator and a protector rather than the malicious type as she hates unnecessary confrontation but is a fierce warrior. She is always ready to defend her cause.

Annora is way too hard on herself which is ironic because she always tries to instil genuine strength within others but finds it hard to practice what she preaches for reasons unknown. She hasn’t always been closed off with her mental problems, but she does prefer to only open up to those she trusts out of fear of humiliation.

History. Annora has always been in the presence of abandonment at a young age. Her parents had her young and led important lives in New York that they felt could do without a child so they sent her to the only place they knew was safe enough that they would feel no guilt for leaving her.
