No one's sure who fired first....the Russians, china, maybe even the U.S. It was the 22 century, and resources were dieing out, and the atmosphere became clogged with sky-dimming layers of polution, and acid rain made outdoors a nightmare. Powerfull storms made life bad enough...except one day...someone couldn't take it and luanched a nuke. 4 hours later, the globe was a smoldering ball of ash and charcoal. Thankfully, the scientists where half wrong. The world and the human race weren't wiped from existance....they were just drasticaly altered. several hundred years have passed since the "big bang", and the globe itself has changed. The sky has cleared, but the violent storms and eathquakes remian, along with a toxic "miasma" lay of nuke-fused polutants that sweeps and flows across the stormy, wasteland-dotted continents. All the oridginal cities have been abandoned mostly, or left as ruins. Rock and ash dunes are all common sights, and mountians jut up everywere thanks to quakes. To survive, humanity turned to the power of technology that nearly destroyed it. Cities were built inside protective domes, and shielded rail lines conected outposts and cities, all safe from the acid rain showers and toxic miasma waves. Ouside, in the vast, stark wilderness, mutant beasts and untended robots roam long-abandoned areas, a threat to any being cuaght outside a dome. The only way a human could safely step outside was by wearing mechaniized armor or a powered suit. Many of these sported weapons, sheilds, customizations... Althought the world has changed, the human race has not. Still, they fight and raid each other's suplly lines, searching for slowly returning resources and battling for dominace. Also, it has been rumored that their are some elusive humans that have become at peace with nature, becoming immune to the miasma and developing unspecified abilities. What will you do? will you don armor and raid ruins for lost secrets, or scour the rock and ash for resources? Or perhaps you have found your place at nature's side, and will fight fiercely to protect the returning pockets of green?

((Well, I doubt such rules need to be made. The whole guild has them. And its not like Wata has a cybering problem, or I have a god-modding problem, and I most likely DON'T have fu-wait...uhh... I'll just post my profile now.
Username: Dukemileg1(Gee..) name: Derek Trivaz "race": Dome person, expelled by his local dome due to standing up for his beliefs. Armor: CCV Armored Tank. Just a mode of transportation that can survive such problems of nature. Two automatic turrets and a cannon make the major offensive systems. The whole thing is about fiveteen feet across, and twenty feet long. It consists of two chasises which split the load of the main body. This body has three turrets on it, one on each side and a larger one in the front. Just above the front cannon is the cockpit, only large enough for two people. A little back is a larger miving quarters that can hold five people, with controls for the two turrets. The entrance hatch is located on the back, walkways stretching around the top of the body and the top of the front chasis. The back chasis is larger than the front one, but the front ones walkway is still out of reach of humans. job: Scavenger(Searching ruins for useful junk.) apearance: His hair is deep brown, five inches ong at some places due to a lack of hair cutting devices. This is held back with an oversized brown bandana in the forehead. His skin has been scortched a deep brown from the enhanced radiation, and his hair is very, very thin. His shirt consists more of a plated Bio-Hazard suit, with plates of dull metal making a chestplate. Most of this covered with a thick ragged cloak that keeps him warm in the cold world. The edge of his arms have specality scanners, also scrapped from junk for junk. They also help lift his heavy duty plasma cutter, mounted on his back. A harness on the outside of his cloak helps him carry this. bio: He was always a rebel when it came to Dome Rules. Climbing the Dome, building stuff on the underside of it, building stuff in the sewers...the list goes on and on. Eventually he just made the goverment snap when he constructed a tank, using it as a mode of transportation in the Dome. This was nothing compared to his heavy criticisma of polocy in the Dome, which caused enforcers of the lay to look for any excuse to arrest him. Banished from the Dome, he searches for stuff to improve his way of living. In fact, he is looking for a special device. His mother told him that a strange device was created before all hell broke loose on the world. A device that could heal organic things. Now in the modern day such things exist, but this was created with nature. Being created with nature, it could heal nature. If he could restore the world, then no such squabbles between people for resources. Then people could have freedom again, freedom to do what they want. At least, thats what he hopes. ))

((Yeah, I know it's redundant, I just thought I'd say them. Note the apathetic tone. As for my character....
Username: Shotesu name: Trace ....... "race": Dome citizen, but has no parents..... Armor:Wears an experimental form of armor that is extremely lightweight and minimized, but still eceedingly strong; called a "Bio-link". It resembles a black bodysuit of a thin, rubbery material, but still is heat resistant and can block out miasma with no problem, being comprised of bullet proof fibers. the inside is lined with micro sensors that can read Trace's nerve impuses and thus ensure the suit operates at maximum capacity constantly. He has a red and yellow breastplate that is strapped on by metal bands that wrap around his back and shoulders. His forearms and lower legs are armored by gauntlets and knee-high boots also colored red and yellow; and his feet are covered by magnetic boots that can cling to just about anything with a decent metal content. The body armor is composed of a high-performance alloy and layered composites, making the armor plates bullet proof, but the undersuit isn't. The suit has an optional waist gaurd and a backpack for carring weapons or supllies. Trace's face is covered by a V-shape visor for his eyes, and has a simple, molded helmet with a scanner built into the top as a gem-like decoration, red and white in color. In maisma, he can close a visor over his mouth and nose as well, to aviod toxic fumes. The helmet can be removed and the eye visor can be slid up. The eye visor also displays the suit's H.U.D. power is provided by micro batteries in the armor plates, and solar panels are overlaid down the back of the undersuit for a slow recharge. Armed with a plasma handgun and a swordlike rod of tungsten and ceramics. The Rod then runs a powefull current up and down it when activated to heat up to insane tempetures and shear through titanium like butter. However, This rod can only be used for short periods of time. This armor is weak to blows to the undersuit, but is very agile and fast, as well as lightweight, making the sword lethal when added to his speed.
job:Fighter/raider.
Latent powers or abilities: As part of a strange enigma that follow's Trace's history, he seems to have a latent genic trait to breath in maisma and not be affect, but this is uncomfirmed, as his visor has ony been jepordized once.
apearance: Trace is 19 and has fiery red hair and blue-green eyes; coulpled with the build of a althalete thanks to a state of constant motion. Trace hates standing still, thus he has a wiry, lanky figure. He wears a dull red tunic and a loose set of slate-grey pants when not in armor. bio: A mysterous boy whose parents aren't known-he was found on the ouskirts of the dome city Trion as a baby; possibly left there by his missing parents. why and how isn't known, but a kind elder man raised him as a son; and under him Trace learned the art of battle and raiding-the man had once been one of the city's greatest. Trace then used his prodigeous talent to win a selection contest that won him the Bio-link at age 14. Since then, this young man has been notorious for raiding enemy railines with ease and then vanishing afterwards. Other cities know him only as "Crimson", his feild alias. However, there seems to be more to Trace then even he knows, as he once surviveded for 2 minutes without his visor in thick miasma will no effects from the theoreticaly lethal dose. Where this power came from isn't known....

Username: molten_quicksilver name: Crea (pronounced CREE-ah) Alabaster "race": Dome citizen Armor: Crea's armour is fairly heavy and thus somwhat outdated, but so long as it does it's job Crea's not getting a new set. The armour sports some obvious wear and tear, the material's original green color having faded to grey. The helmet Crea fashioned herself, it's inside being a wonder of circutry, allowing her every kind of vision available. Night vision, heat vision, ect. It also displays an analysis of just about anything Crea looks at, including it's possible threat, size, and relative weight.
The armour itself isn't that bulky, it's Crea's various tools that are attatched to it that make it so heavy. Mostly positioned in a circle around the waist, the tools indicate Crea's profession: A scientist. She has two weapons on her person, consisting of a couple of foot-and-a-half long metal rods, capable of giving someone enough of an electric shock to paralyze them briefly. They're not meant to kill, just give Crea enough time to make a getaway. job: A scientist. apearance: Crea's fairly plain looking, being as thin and worn as most people of the age. Her hair is almost constantly damp, as she practically always has her helmet on. It's one of her best resources in a situation. She has brown eyes and needs glasses when she doesn't have a helmet on, so she programmed her perscription into the helmet to make things easier. bio: What's there to say? Crea's a fairly average person, other than being more intelligent than most. She's less than a scientist than an inventor really, but a certain amount of science is needed for most of the things she creates. Crea often explores the old cities, mainly because of curiosity, partly because there are a few resources therin that would be hard to get ahold of in one of the domes.
She grew up in one of the domed cities, graduating from school with a desire to create. Unfortunatly, some of her more radical exploits had sent her into a bit of a monetary depression, hence why she isn't going to buy an updated suit of armour any time soon, and why she scavanges through the old cities.

SKKLLLSSHHHH!! A wave of molten steel sprayed out in a superheated arc, a massive scar now smoltering in the armored side of the halted train car. The train in question was laying on it's side, successfuly derailed from the magrail. Behind his dark visor, Trace grinned. Another completed mission, and more supplies for Trion. Truth be told, the train he'd attacked and totaled had belonged to the industial city-state of Kitas Van, and all they did was burn resources and use huge factories to turn out robots all day-the remains of which now littered the ground. Tapping the side of helmet, Trace triggered his comlink. ["Crimson here. Raid completed, commece removal. I don't want to be around if Kitas Van sends a security train out to deal with this..."] <"Roger that, Crimson. You're clear to return, we'll take it from here."> ["Confirmed. Crimson out."]. With two more slices of his plasma edge, Trace cut a triangular hole in the cargo compartment and hopped down. Raiding teams consisted of a striker, cleanup and a vangaurd-Trace was the Striker. Shutting of his rod and letting it cool off, trace turned and dashed off passing the Cleanup crew on the way. Time to go home....

Jurnal: Unknown Date
It was hell today. Miasma storms all day, dunes forming at random, and I think I spotted a few mutants. Not those crime-to-nature mutants, big, killie mutants. I think these ones are about the size of really big dogs, two claws extending above their heads. Other than that I could not tell. Danm radar. I guess thats what I get for taking scrap from a raided supply train. If it had radar, it would not be raided, eh? Anyway, the storm ended around late afternoon. The clearness was rather nice, I think a few satellites were visible. I hope there will come more days like this. Had to scrap the new upgrades for the right turret, seems sand got into the wiring systems. One of these days I'm just gonna install small canons. Yah, that would work.
Jurnal: Unknown date
Good news, found an old factory. Later this morning I'm going to investigate it. Only minor lifeforms inside it, probably bacteria and fungi. I'm gonna try to find more shock cores for the Dune Waker. Yup, still on that project. The main power supply of my baby can survive by converting Miasma into power, but not the Dune Waker. If I find one I could power it for a few hours before returning to the tank. Wish me luck.
Of course, he was in the ruins only minutes after posting that. His boots clattering over grains of steel that melted in a liquid metal rain. Such pebbles seemed to be most concentrated near great magnetic sites around the world, like reactors and volcano labs. This place mustive had one, however small it mustive been. It took him five minutes to make his way across that onto the factory floor. His face gleamed at the prospects. With a gaping grin on his face, he set to work opening the nearby worker drone that has probably never been in power for decades. The covers slid off easily, pratically falling to dust in his hands. All the major components still remained, but none of it useful to him. His head darted up and scaned the scene, soon falling upon some platforms that led to the storehouse. Score! A bright orange light fizlled out nowhere, hot metal pouring down dark walls of crates. This light created a circle roughly seven feet tall and left glowing embers on the soon darkened walls. All was silent again, 'til the section of rust came crashing down. Derek didn't even bother to wit for it to land, rushing inside to use his plasma cutter on the crates. This factory produced aviation engines which probably used the things he needed. Outdated airplane parts make perfect miniature vehicle parts.
Yet, with all his scanning and observing he didn't notice the thin strings of grass, covered in dust and hiding the glorious green inside of them. It was still easy to miss, being the same color as the flor and growing in the cracks in the cement tiles. However, such a thing is rare in todays world. And rare things often mean something is messing with them. And trust me, he did not wish to mess with those who can manipulate nature.

Trace was almost to the transport when all heck broke loose. First, there was only the wind, then an explosive wave suddenly ripped through the area, coming from the train. Instantly, Trace cursed. he knew that sound; a scale 3 bomb. It must have been hidden in the crates, a poised apple among a feast. Praying that his team had passed cleanly and not suffered much, Trace found safety by flipping up and dashing over the transport, letting it serve as a shield from the advancing blast. The sky and earth rocked, but his armor steadied him and his anger gave him purpose. Those fiendish Kitas Van would pay for the lives they'd just claimed at the end of his plasma rod....assuming he lived. After a moment, the blast faded, and trace stood up to survey the damage. It wasn't good. The train was scrap, and worse still was the fact that his team was dead and the hovercraft was totaled. Without a vechicle, he'd have to walke 25 miles, in the dark, across wastland and cliff all while still in armor. It was incrediably risky, but it was his only option. Staying here would get him mowed down by a security train, or killed by miasma when his armor ran out of power. And off course, it still could. If it lost power, then the maisma would kill him...and it only had 3/4 of a battery. Great... Grimly, the red armored figure sheathed his blade and swiftly exited the blast zone, praying he wouldn't run into a storm or mutants.

Username: Arospace name: Mira "race": wilder Latent powers or abilities: She’s been told that one day she will be able to speak to the animals that she now hunts, but so far she has only reached the fringes of this ability. Appearance: Mira cannot remember what she looked like when she found herself outside the domes, the radiation helping to physically alter her body. Now she stands slightly shorter than six feet tall, her jet-black hair cut short around her face to keep it manageable. Her eyes, a soul-less pure black, are almond shaped, sitting behind high cheekbones. Her skin is naturally dark brown to adapt to the radiation. She wears loose clothing, made from a fabric the wilders weave, that allows air to flow through yet keeps heat against the cold climate. Bio: When she was around four years old, there had been a riot or an attack or something like that. Truthfully she doesn’t remember now, nor does she much care. But she found herself outside the dome and she didn’t know how to get back. She probably should have died out in the miasma and the radiation, but instead a wilder found her and brought her back to his family. They called her Mira and eventually she became used to the miasma, the radiation speeding up the change in her body so it suited the harsh world she was now a part of.

Crea was currently stationed on her knees beside what looked like the remains of several robots. Crea was rummaging through the lot, paying very little attention to the outer layer of metal that hid the real prizes therin. What she'd come for was something that was rare to find inside one of the domes, and as such it probably would have been expensive anyway.
Crea scowled. After 20 odd minutes of searching through the wreckage of the robots, she still hadn't found what she was searching for, and figured that if she couldn't find it here she should just head back to the city. She didn't want to see the effect of a prolonged outage on the Earth's altered surface, especially not with the additional radiation to the atmosphere. Not fun, especially when what she really wanted to do was hunt down her little item in one go. It would make things so much simpler, she couldn't continue with her current project without it.
Eventually Crea got back to her feet, still scowling in irritation. She took a sweeping veiw of her surroundings, something she hadn't done before this point in time, as she'd been considerably more focused on her scavanging. Then, she heard an explosion, and not one from too far off either. Crea cursed vividly as she saw the pire of earth and metal the explosion had created rise into the air, and hoped she wasn't close enough to feel any more of it's effects than soundwaves.

A lone figure crouched on a piece of debris that stuck out of the dune. Silhouetted faintly in the radiation light, five creatures moved in the valley blow. The figure watched them intently, sitting motionless. The neo-goats continued, unaware of the watcher, some digging in the ground for something to eat. Two lay against the sand and rubble. They were her targets.
The debris settled, groaning slightly and sending small pebbles skittering down the side of the dune. A billy looked in her direction, highlighting his distinctive sickle horns against the ambient light. The figure held her breath, remaining perfectly still; but the debris groaned again, tilting sideways forcing her to shift her balance. That was all warning the neo-goats needed. In a flash, all five were running up the other side of the valley, bleating alarm.
Cursing, Mira leapt off her ledge and began to run after them, sliding on the loose stone. In the time it took for her to reach the valley, the last of them were already vanishing over the next hill. With a final curse, Mira slowed and began to walk across the valley. It was getting late. What natural light was left was fading form the sky, replaced by the queer eternal dusk of radiation light. Already in the valley where Mira was, the only light was the blue-green glow.
With a loud crack, the ground disappeared beneath her. Mira landed on on her rump in a small hollowed out cavern. Barely four feet across, it was probably nothing more than a collection point for semi acidic rain showers that still fell a few generations ago. With a groan the young woman stood up, rubbing the sore spot where she fell. Standing, the top of the hole barely made it up to her chest and with a bit of effort she managed to scramble back out.
Making her way more carefully, Mira hiked up to the top of the next rise, ready to go home. Something lit up to her left on the horison. She watched the white glow for a moment before the sound of explosion hit her. She frowned, that wasn't good. Mira climbed down the left side of the dune.
It seemed her night wasn't over yet.

((OOhhh I'm joining. Just give me a second to catch up in a few other things...))
Username: Zyxa name: Rolan Zanth "race": Dome Citizen Armor: PLB Heavy Armor unit. Rolan's armor is short and stubby, custom built for him from his earnings. His arms are large shield like devices that produce a very strong electro-magnetic field that repels most non-laser, missle attacks, as well as weakening laser attacks. The helmet unit covers his entire body giving him a 180 degree view behind and in front of him to maximize his defensive capabilities. His legs are outfitted with pneumatic joints to better support the heavy equipment. A seoncdary function lets Rolan fold his legs in so he charge his target like a mechanical boulder, repelling all attacks with a fast rotation and the forementioned electro-magnetic shields. job: Tournament Organizer apearance: Befitting a man of his wealth, Rolan is 5'2'' and quite fat at 246lb. Not only that, but he's begun to bald recently though still keeping his natural hair colour of a deep chestnut brown. Though others have begun to suffer during this age of strife, Rolan has tried his best to continue living the life before the destruction. He tends to wear a purple and gold robe that brushes across the ground behind him over a standard bio-suit wear. bio: Before the destruction of the world, the Zanth corporation was a very wealthy group. They had their fingers dipped in every aspect of the world, from economy to politics, and the high ranking members were very rich because of it. But like everyone else he was forced to restart his life. No longer holding a high prestigious role in society like he used to, he knew what he had to do. Rebuild his empire. But he's strayed from the path recently, getting a little too caught up in his latest venture, organizing tournaments and smaller exhibition matches in his personal dome. His prizes are good, but he still ends up with the most when it's all said and done.
