Default The Andromeda Strain

((I spent a lot of time on this so please enjoy!! ))

Dr. Ryans Recording 1: Hello, This is my first day down here. Uh well a uh satellite fell from the sky. It was taken into a town by two kids. They opened it, and well... something in it killed them. *sigh* It was some sort of disease. It has been named Andromeda. I and the four other scientist are in this uh bunker to find a cure.

Dr. Ryans Recording 5: ... This thing, Andromeda, seems to be unaffected by anything. But that's not all. We have reports that it has broken out of the quarantine zone... It has mutated that fast. When it was only in the town it could only affect humans but now it affects animals too. But it only gets to them through direct contact. And it would appear that Andromeda is not air born. Uhh Andromeda uh it seems to drive some people crazy till they kill themselves. Jesus. We are going to nuke the town so that this doesn't happen again.

Dr. Ryans Recording 6: ... *crash of glass* Damnit! Andromeda eats radiation. When the nuke hit it just grew... But something weird happened. We found out just before the nuke hit and we told them not to drop it. Things were going well and then Andromeda mutated into a harmless form that can eat some plastics. Not the ones we use in hazmats, but the plastic used in the cockpit re-breather. The plane crashed and somehow the bomb was reactivated. *sigh* I cant explain it. Andromeda mutated and is now air born. It is only a matter of time before it spreads across the world.

Dr. Ryans Recording 8: We have finally been given some answers. The government sent this satellite was sent up to examine a wormhole. Something happened up there to the satellite and it fell back to earth. So possibly Andromeda is alien... I know it sounds crazy... Also Andromeda has no DNA and is made of sulfur polymers. I don't know how that is possible. Life down here has gotten crazy...

Dr. Ryans Recording 11: Alright now I know I am going crazy. Andromeda thinks. We found it's killer. Just to make sure we ran another test. It didn't work. No contamination, separate specimens, the only answer is that Andromeda spoke to the others warning them. This thing is the perfect creature. I... I don't know what to do.

Dr. Ryans Recording 13: We found a message within the strain. It tells us what to use to kill it. Also it is in a code from Earth... We believe that Andromeda was sent from the future. That no longer had the cure and they needed us to get it. So now we do and they are just about to spread it and kill Andromeda. It looks like we have succeeded. Time to celebrate. Andromeda will be destroyed at last.

Dr. Davidson Recording 9: For anyone reading this Ryans is dead. There was an accident in bunker. To try and stop any spread the facility unknowingly went nuclear. I was helping the spreading when i saw from a distance. Andromeda mutated yet again. It decided that it wanted to live longer, because before when the person died it died. Now it can last in the air for a long time, and when it infects someone they go crazy. In most cases they just try to kill or infect anyone who isn't already infected. We must wear our hazmats, gas masks, or what ever there is to keep Andromeda out of our mouths. I am accessing the information center from my home computer. It has been two years since the bunker incident and Andromeda has taken over the world. For anyone out there my house is safe.


Plot: Andromeda is a fast acting disease that is very intelligent. Its infected are crazy and usually just try to kill you. A few are just crazy and just act very bizarre. The land is full of raiders, gangs, and cabals too. Everyone who isn't infected has to wear a gas mask. It is cool to make a cabal or gang or whatever you like, but not raiders. The raiders is a gang itself. You can also be a free person. Some houses have been sealed and are safe to take your mask or whatnot off.

Setting: This is sometime in the future. There are a few futuristic things. But it isn't that far into the future. laser rifles and laser pistols exist but they are not the best and they are hard to find. This takes place on the East coast of America near Washington.

Char. Sheet:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Personality:
Appearance: (Don't forget the gas mask or what ever it is)
Job before incident:
Possessions:
History:


My Char. Sheet:
Name: Jack Davidson
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Personality: he still remembers his friends and has nightmares. He is always depressed.
Appearance: He has a yellow armored Hazmat suit
Job before incident: He was a scientist and worked with the Andromeda team
Possessions: He has a Glock 45., he has an small armory at his house, he carries a back pack with supplies, and a pack of cigarettes, a mini uzi gun in his bag
History: He was picked up by the government to work on the Andromeda. He was forced to leave his daughter. Then Andromeda broke out across the world and he lost touch with her.

He created good friendships with the Andromeda team and when they were all killed he became depressed. He was watched everyone with him fall to the Andromeda and he has devoted himself to finding a way to kill it and/or at least make the world right again.

((Aww this Rp looks really good I hope it gets the attention it deserves because of the ammount of time you have put into it. I put alot of hard work into Rps before aswell just to see them crash and burn before they even start because of lack of interest...Damn I would of had a few good Rps going haha. well heres my char sheet ^_^ good luck with the Rp.))

Char. Sheet:

Name: Icarus Slade

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Personality: Icarus is a strong and brave character. He has never been one to shy away from trouble or show his true feelings on the matter at hand. He is a calm and likeable character but can also be cold and calculating when the time demands it. Icarus hates government politicians or scientists as he has always been one to hold conspieracies close to heart and hate the government for their lack of responsibility in such things, he proves his point exactly through the Andromeda strain. Icarus is a trustworthy character but he finds it hard to trust others.

Appearance:

Head: Icarus' hair falls down to his eyes and ears. He had not got it cut in quite some time. His hair is a dark brown, and it is messy and unkempt. Icarus is clean shaven and has dark brown eyes. He bears a small hardly noticable scar on his upper lip. Icarus is adept at making things, in this way he has made himself a custom-made gas mask which is used both to intimidate his foes and give him ultimate protection from the Andromeda strain.

Think along the lines of this for his gas mask: http://www.walyou.com/blog/wp-conten...ask-design.jpg

Torso & Arms: Icarus has a fairly athletic build, perhaps of a gymnast. He wears loose clothing. He wears a turtleneck light green sweater with makeshift breastplate protection armour made out of iron. The breastplate also has a holster where he places his pistol if he is ever in a dire situation and needs to change weapons quickly. Ontop of this he wears a dark black jacket which reaches down to the back of his legs, he leaves this unbuttoned so he can intimidate his enemies with the weapons he has holstered.

This is the closest I can get which represents the clothes my character will be wearing, check it out: http://angryjoeshow.com/avatars/dark%20hood%20guy.jpg

Legs & Feet: Icarus wears dark brown cargo trousers for ultimate freedom of movement and so he can place any items which he can scavange into the big pockets. He tucks his cargo trousers into his black combat boots revealing a combat knife strapped to the calf of his leg.

Job before incident: Before the incident Icarus was a student studying and excelling in both biology, chemistry, and physical education. He has always been one to question the government about their motives and their involvement in such incidents which have no logical explanation for. He used to be interested in science before the andromeda strain completely ripped apart all had believed in, ruining his hopes and dreams in the making. His future was lost, and so was his family, now he is fuelled by hatred to those not acting quick enough to destroy the strain, and he holds the andromeda science team solely responsible for ruining his life.

Possessions: Icarus has a combat knife strapped to the calf of his leg. Along with this he has an M16 Assault rifle which he keeps in good condition which he holsters along his back with a makeshift rifle holster. He also hides a glock18 machinepistol in his breastplate holster.

History:

Before the incident Icarus was studying at college, excelling mostly in biology and chemistry. He was also a great sportsman excelling at hurdles, gymnastics and boxing. A few months before the incident Icarus saw his parents and little brother for the last time, he was finally moving away so he could be nearer to his college. He lived the perfect life and he loved his family very much, but all that changed when the incident struck.

Icarus was in college studying with his lab proffeser the day the strain was first found. He heard news on the radio that a satellite crashed close in washington D.C and that it was currently being investigated by a HAZMAT scientific team. It was deemed dangerous and everybody within the hitzone should remain indoors untill further news is announced.

The college Icarus was not too far away from the hitzone, the college went on lockdown and everybody was piled into a secret biohazard bunker to avoid being killed by the disease which was announced. Upon the aftermath of the Andromeda strain there was barely enough oxygen supply and food to keep the college survivors alive, the old died first, then the weak and young. Icarus and a few others were all that were left, and upon leaving the college they went their seperate ways, knowing that they would have a better chance at survival spreading out as far as possible to find civilisation.


((Sorry for the long character sheet but I feel that an immersive Rp like this needs a character with a full personality and a good history to keep myself immersed within it and to help me with my posts and the such! >_< sorry!

P.S I was wondering what kind of style this Rp is going to be like I mean by the fact that will it be short posting or medium posting...or long posting? :P thankyou lol))

Name: Victor Lowe

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Personality: Victor is pretty cold all the way through. After the "incident" he always looks out for himself, never get attached to anyone else. He is the main objective, he must survive.
He prefers to avoid a battle if possible aswell, trying to sneak, and is nessecary, ambush and backstab them.

Appearance:

Job before incident: Victor worked with different security companies and private "Armies" before the incident.

Possessions: In his possession, he have -
Main weapon - -M14 scoped rifle.

Secondary - - A sig sauer p226.

Melee weapon - - A classic machete

History:
When Victor first heard about the satellite, he did not care much about it, but the company he worked for was orderd out, to calm down some riot going on. It was not as violent as he expected. Just some people who was afraid about the satellite, that obviously had killed two boys. And it was spreading. When the infection hit his town, he and his squad was dispatched to investigate and to control. They were all given gasmasks. Victor didn't really understand why, but he went with it. He was the squads sharpshooter, so he was positioned a bit away from the rest, acting overwatch. As soon he got up into his tower, he heard screaming over the radio. He paniced, and looked down the scope. He saw his fellow officers getting, killed or something, by the rioters. He started shooting at the rioters, even when he shot them in the stomach, and their legs, they were still as feirce. He called over the radio,calling for help. But no respone. He had no idea what was going on. But he knew, that he was on his own now. Since then ,he has moved around alot, just trying to stay alive.

Not only by touch here let me explain it some more. Andromeda is very intelligent. It caused the plane caring the bomb to crash so it could get the radiation to grow because it knew that the pilot was no longer going to drop it. After the facility blew up it got a lot of radiation. With all that radiation it became air born. It also mutates rapidly and easily when it needs to. After all the mutations it has undergone it can travel by air and infect humans simply by breathing in non-purified air, but can also be contracted by close contact and trading of bodily fluids like blood and saliva. Animals can not contract the air version but they can contract the contact version. Animals with Andromeda will go crazy and attack people. The type of Andromeda that eats some plastics and messes with electronics is air born but it does not infect people. Andromeda has not mutated since it went air born because it has not been threatened yet. Through vibrations Andromeda can talk to the rest of it so if one piece gets threatened it can warn the rest so that it can change to be resilient to what ever that threat is. Any safe house has to be completely sealed off from the outside. One last thing is that Andromeda does not infect food or water so eating anything in the worl is okay, and if you kill an animal and cook it then Andromeda will be dead and not be able to infect you. I think that about covers it.

Also while the town was under quarantine it spread too other places by contact of animals.

I am making two new people who will also be at the house. The house is really big and has a small underground bunker so there will be a few other people there.

Name: Max Robinson
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Personality: He is tough and wont take any sh*t from anyone
Appearance: He is tall black, muscular, and bald. He has a rough shave. he wears his SWAT suit. His gas mask is a helmet and mask standard issue combo
Job before incident: He was a SWAT sergeant
Possessions: He has a SMG II, a barretta M9, and a police baton
History: Before the information about the Andromeda was released he was sent on a raid. His entire team was killed by crazies. Jack saved his life and brought him back to his house. He feels as if he now owes a life debt too Jack.

Name: Ryan Marks
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Personality: He has a great since of humor and always tries to keep the mood up
Appearance: He is shorter then the other two and has blond purposefully messy hair. He wears jeans and a white tee. Sometimes he wears a wool cap some times. His gas mask is a standard issue one like Max's
Job before incident: He was a Radio host
Possessions: He has a 9m automatic Barretta and a switchblade
History: His radio room was attacked early on and he ran. He ran and ran. When he found the safe house he was dirty and sad. Jack helped revive him and after that he set up a new radio station in the safe house. From it he broadcasts information and help for everyone out there.

((I am going to start now, anyone who wants to join can do so whenever))

Two years since. The highway was full of cars. Most of them empty. All of them useless. Two people stood on the road. one wore a yellow hand armored hazmat suit, and the other had no cover on her mouth. She was an older lady and she was trying to find her car. Jack stood watching the lady as she scratched car door after car door with a key. "What are you doing?" Jack asked her. Without looking up she said. "I am trying to find my car." "Ah, i see." Jack moved on. He had gone some ways when he heard a truck motor stop and cheers. He turned around say a big truck and a small group of Raiders jump off the flat back. He flung himself behind a car. He could tell they were Raiders because of the red war paint covering their truck, cloths, and masks. ((That is how you recognize Raiders, Also it is completely open to make cabals and Gangs, The general rule of thumb, if anyone is wondering, is that gangs are bad and cabals are good (but both can be violent), so if anyone wants to be part of one or start one)) Whooping and hollering they went over to the Feral trying to find her car. ((Ferals is what the crazies are called)) The Raiders started talking to her, but he couldn't hear them. Then it started as they threw her to the ground and started to beat her up with bats, pipe wrenches, and two with the butts of their AKs. Then they started laughing. B*stards... One of them then looked over and say the yellow of his Hazmat. He started talking and pointing. Fu*k! He started to run and they ran back to the truck which was roaring its engine. The truck came after him as he sprinted as fast as his legs would go. This was bad. His pack was heavy with supplies but if he wanted to save this world he could not drop it...
