Survival Revisted (OOC/Sign-Up, MT/PMT)

Amazonian Beasts
23-04-2008, 04:03
Everyone loves character threads testing the limits of humans, both physically and psychologically. Skgorria inspired me here with his "Survival Horror Thread," which had tons of promise but fizzled out as of recently.

I'd like to spark up the fire of charcter horror again on these boards and to draw out again the pure RPing passion of emotion and psychological and physical action. Ok, that sounded like a lame commercial, but I'm looking for peeps who want to get in on a people-get-dumped-somwhere-and-get-attacked-by-unknown-monsters thread. It's up to the characters (and their RPers) to try to survive against tough odds.

It's MT/PMT, but if you can give me a good enough reason for an FT participant (maybe as a Predator-like individual...I'm open for suggestions), I'll gladly hear you out. I'm also open to suggestions on any sort of obstacles/creatures you'd like to face, or other relevant suggestions of the sort - feel free to put in things you'd like to see for the best possible RP. A lot of the plot will be slowly revealed as the RP plays out - after all, good horror promotes keeping details in the dark until absolutely neccessary to reveal at climactic or suspensful moments.

If you're interested, I'm up for character creation - just fill out the following template:

Name
Gender
Age
Height
Weight
Hair/Eye Color (Optional...if you'd like to get detailed)
Ethnicity
Physical Build
Occupation
Any Equipment Accompanying Character (Optional)
Skills/Attributes
Bio

In creating your characters, yea, soldiers or commanders are always ok, but let's get variety as well folks...you don't see the Aliens picking on all supersoldiers, for instance. Be creative, work with different ideas. You can also have multiple characters (limit 3...though if you have multiple, I'm requesting that you have at least one that's expendable...since what's horror without peeps getting killed?) Be assured that I'll always privately confer with you to confirm your agreement before I kill off anybody, via TG or MSN.

For the record, I'll be supplying a few detailed characters who will move along as plot devices (and yes, one will be a soldier [why revealed later in the RP]).

Let's get a good and lasting story going.

Backwoodsy subsistance farmer tending his stills?

Should he be hurtian, weapons would be territorial police issued LAR-655 /w/ and interchangeable upper recievers.
Ammo:
Two 20 shot clips of 6.5x55 Hurtian (50 rounds -2 full mags plus a 10 bullet per year allowance)
Two 30 shot clips of 6.5x25 (100 rounds -most powerful non-regulated hurtian cartridge on civvey market, pretty useless though, target practice?)
Three 10 shot clips of 12 ga (50 rounds -unregulated but pricey)

Additional ammo was to be provided upon reaching armory in event of conflict.
Provided the armory isn't overrun...

Question - I was thinking of having Kali off on vacation when this all starts - could she have her dog with her - no special training beyond obedience.
Amazonian Beasts
23-04-2008, 21:53
Lookin' good. Tanaara: You can definitely have the dog and have special characteristics if you want (hey, I'm open).

I'm weighing around ideas on how to open the thread up (a lot of the details to be revealed in the RP itself as it progresses - better to keep some things in the dark so that it comes more as shocks), and I'd like to hear your input. The general premise will be a testing facility - a bit of an unusual one (holding on the details) - that will incorporate the characters in as tests to attempt survival.

I'm currently leaning towards having a forced enlistment (ie, kidnapping or blackmail to recruit), but other past horror threads have also used manipulative messages to attract recruits to what becomes a dangerously different situation than the one promised. Love to hear your input on what you think is better - after all, I'm only part of the Rp.

Oh I'd jump at the chance to have him trained in advanced obedience dog & Schutzhund work; seeing that he is a კავკასიური ნაგაზი ; a Caucasian Mountain Dog and is perfect for such work. This is a very popular breed in Tanaara

Registry Name: Boyar Thunderchild's Perfect Crime

Use Name: "Dor"
Gender: Male
Ht: 32" ( at shoulder )
Wt: 175 lbs
Age: 5 years
Carried with him - his working / pack harness, a four liter water ration, and 25pounds of Eukanuba dry food, mini vet kit, rough terrain booties, grooming kit; tie out rope ( 20 ft of 2000# test braided silk rope - and yes under certain circumstances he Can break that with e4ase ); 6 ft leather leash; rain 'coat/ slicker'

And suggestion - I could easily be on a camping vacation and in an semi deliberate "get lost and just wander the wilderness" for a time stumble across this - my list of carried items would change then somewhat, but as far as weapons, I would just add a rifle for protection from larger predators.

also I could be in your country intending to vacation and get called on to try and help find a supposedly lost child/ person - and what I' really end up finding is something that erm, well shouldn't a been found...

I'm easy with whatever you decide on. The only thing that might be special about Kali - who - yes, just for my amusement, she gets nicknamed "Bones" -is that some times she gets elusive 'bad feelings' that pan out more often than not, but nothing 'regular' much less 'trainable'.

Tanaara: You might want to take a rifle anyway, as you will very likely need it. Or at least, some type of weapon (by token: having or not having a weapon is not going to drastically change up a character/player's experience, it'll just change how I approach things controlling certain...aspects).

If you'd run into it, you could probaly either check it out with curiosity and get a little too far into it, or maybe be captured by security and then thrown in with the test group, as well. Up to you, it's your character - all that matters isn't how they get to the spot of horrors (I'll leave that vague), but that they do get there.

The Star Wars sense ("I have a bad feeling about this"...how many times was that said in SW?) is perfectly fine. For credit to peeps looking to maybe or maybe not join this thread, you can be very flexible with your character, just as long as he's not some...youknow...100m-tall super giant with built-in plasma casters and omnipetence.

Oooo-Kay...

Um... I could have my farmer folk get kidnapped taking his illicit wares to the black market (what country in NS doesn't have one?)...

Not sure how the rifle would be returned to him...

But I'm thinking something similar to how Griffencrest captured Paul and then threw him into the trunk with all his gear...

Really, scientists (terrestrial and extra) have this morbid fascination with the resiliency of crazy mountain folk...
Amazonian Beasts
24-04-2008, 02:42
I can work wit' that - if you're taking illegal goods around or hunting or whatever a farmer does, I can probaly get somebody around to kidnap his butt, or something along that line. We'll just give everybody's stuff back before the fun starts.

Well she has a pistol alredy listed, as Tanaaran's are required to carry, but I'll add a rifle or a Tanaaran PDW ( acrually more likely for her to carry as a doc )

K5 PDW

http://www.atddm.com/fnhp90.jpg

Developer / Manufacturer - Hexx Arms LTD

Length: 19.1 "
Height: 8.0"
Width: 2.75"
Barrel Length: 7.9"
Weight: 6.5 lbs loaded (75 rounds)
Ammo: 6.8 x 33 mm caseless ammunition*
Ammo Capacity: 75 rounds per magazine

Ammunition-feed system -the K 5 utilizes a top-situated, horizontally-oriented magazine (with 75-round capacity). The cartridges are rotated 90 degrees before being fed into the chamber and fired.

* This is the same ammunition used by the Tanaran battle rifle.

The K5 is a sling weapon, designed to be worn across the operator's back, side, or chest. The K5's ammo has only 1/2 the recoil force of 9mm NATO ammo, yet has considerably greater stopping power than the 9mm. The round can pierce car windshields and doors, and even kevlar vests and helmets up to 200 meters away, with the kevlar material having "virtually no effect" on the round. It will also pierce NATO CRISAT body armor (1.6mm titanium armor plate and 20mm of kevlar soft armor) and retains a minumum of 80 joules of energy after armor penetration. 80 joules is enough energy to incapacitate a human being.

Yea, if you'd like. Trust me, not all of the obstacles where the characters will end up will be like Belkaros's thing, and nearly all of them won't have guns.

Let's just not turn every character into "super bad-ass soulja boy" though.

LOL Bones is a doctor, she made it though Basic on sheer stubborn guts, and has seen some combat

She's far more a "leisurely camp a bit, hike a bit, enjoy nature - untill it gets too uncomfortable, then we really need to rough it - you know the down side is having to stay at the sort of hotels that don't have decent room service" type...and while she has, I am certain seen pictures of C4, live and in person ? Ah, she'd probably mistake it for playdough...

Though like almost all Tanaarans she is fit, exercizes daily and such - it's the national culture, not necessarily her innate preferance.

Well this sounds nice! Let me give it a try:

Name: Dmitri Svobor

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Height: 178cm

Weight: 70kg

Hair/Eye Color: Dark brown/ Other eye bright blue, other red. Some girls find this fascinating, which has gotten Dmitri into numerous unpleasant situations with their boyfriends and brothers...

Ethnicity: Kronstadtian/Caucasian

Physical Build: In pretty good shape, nothing too muscular though.

Occupation: Sailor/dock worker, currently on the run for a manslaughter.

Any Equipment Accompanying Character: A forearm-long, nasty looking Kindjal knife (http://arms2armor.com/Knives/kindjal1.jpg), a flick knife, a 2x pack of cigarettes (mahorkha), a bottle (o,5l/60&) of cheap vodka, about a meter-long piece of chain wrapped around his left hand, a knuckler.

Accompanying creature: "Zhorni". A big, black dog that certainly has Siberian wolves quite close in the family tree. Unquestionably and throughoutly loyal to its life-long companion, Dmitri. The two can rarely be seen separately.
http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/6669/wmblackwolfgf6zc1.jpg

Skills/Attributes: Has practiced Systema for 11 years, and fought more knife- (and fist-)fights than his years would let imagine. Not perhaps the most intelligent person on the planet, but pretty clever still, in a street-smart way. He knows how to survive.

Bio: Doesn't know of his parents. Was raised first by an orphanage school, then (as the Kronstadtian way is) by the military, then by different rehabilitation installations but almost all the time mainly by the streets.

Tanaara
26-04-2008, 02:10
Hey I don't consider it plagiarizing. Just like minded people - dogs can be greater help for survival than nearly any other piece of equipment!

And why do you think I chose the breed I did? There's nothing they're afraid of and while Golden Retrieves and such have their place - but when you need to walk though hell, I'd want a well trained CMD by my side.

Powerful and massive, the Caucasian Ovcharka / Caucasian Mountain Dog can prove to be a difficult breed for an inexperienced owner, because it respects and obeys only those dominant members of the family that it deems superior to itself. They are generally good with children, but will not see them as their masters. The dog develops a strong bond with its owner but will rarely be completely submissive and blindly follow orders, for this is truly a thinking dog which relies primarily on its own instincts, sometimes even disregarding its master's directions in certain situations. A breed with a very quick reaction time and lightning-fast protection reflexes, it has even been unfairly described by some as somewhat of a "loose cannon". With proper care, handling and training, this is a well-behaved and obedient family companion.

Take care to ask the owner before touching as these dogs are not 'big teddy bears' to be run up to and cuddled. A well behaved CMD will merely take a step back and avert their head; this is a good behavior as these dogs are not Golden Retrievers in their temperament towards everyone.

They are loyal to their duty in protecting their flock and family and will stand by and defend through any circumstance. Unfortunately they are often misrepresented as being dangerous and violent, when in fact they are not unless there is a threat or a perceived threat to family and home.

Quoted from wiki - though I called them CMDs as those breeding these fine dogs seem to dislike that many called them 'Ovcharka' - which apparently just means 'shepherd dogs' and mangles several seperate breeds together unfairly.

26-04-2008, 02:24
I've seen a couple of these wolfdogs in Russia, and there's just something with them that makes me have one some day. Even though training a wolfdog is one hell of a job.
Caucasian Mountaindoggies are cool too, you're right on that one. But you have to admit that wolf is always a wolf, while even the best of the dogs are still just.... well, dogs ;)

Dogs are definitely cool...throw some hitches in, plus they can be used as plot devices at times.
Tanara
26-04-2008, 02:50
Yes a wolf is always a wolf - and this is just my opinion, though it is backed by what I feel is some solid evidence - it's a disservice to wolves to interbreed them with dogs - and that a hybrid wolf dog is not intune with his wolfish instincts nor insync with his canid heritage, and thus has a personality problem inherent in his being.

I love wolves as wolves and dogs as dogs.

I have seen magnificently integrated individuals - the best of both wolds...and I have seen specimeins that would make any one who loved wolves, or dogs, weep in dispair. Unfortuantely the greater majority don't have the average of both worlds, much less the best - the ones that seem to do the best are those that are only about 1/4th wolf, or those that live in area of lower human population.

Domesticating an animal brings about profound changes - not just taking one and 'taming it' but domestication to bring about breed/ species level changes - to make inheritable what sets them apart as a domesticated species. Take a look at the foxes they tried to domesticate in Russia in the middle 60's ( IIRC ) - the changes in a what we would call a domesticated fox and a wild fox are profound.

Erm...
Wasn't my guy taken against his will?

Rough outline:
Goes to stills, collects moonshine, trail is pretty non-existant, brings shotgun.

Returns with moonshine, thins it down for market, has a few 'full strength' bottles for 'samples', the rest is essentialy thinned with turpentine.

Puts gun away, carries alhohol to market. Most likely this is where he gets kidnapped, as he is unarmed, and burdened with about 10 gallons...

Very brief scuffle, he's pretty sure he hit someone.

Wakes up in woods besides a crate containing a basicly key possessions for his survival: his gun(s), ammo, moonshine, shovel, hatchet, hacksaw, a pack, a change of clothes, and whatever food was in the fridge, plus some spam.

Pretty obvious he can't carry it all, and staying in the same place doing nothing won't get anything done to help him survive... Time to get moving...

On his person he'd have a lil dagger/bayonet or two, wallet with identification, some cash, a lighter, matches, a cigarette/joint or five, keys, pint-sized flask of moonshine, sunglasses, wide brimmed hat, jungle boots, jeans, and flannel shirt

Just double checking before I flesh out the outline and post.

One thing about that PROHT - everyone's, um, not going to the woods :D Unless you meant the woods in your nation.

Everyone's gonna be rendevousing at the center for "Medical Research," where you'll all be let in on what's really going on. Kidnapped people will end up there, the volunteers will go there, and then we'll set out. You could wake up in like a storage shed there, or something, or a containment room.

Actually, I thought you'd just gas them out and drop them off in isolated pockets in the middle of nowhere... But keeping them all together and explaining things makes sense too. May get a bit tricky hiding the fact that some of the 'volunteers' didn't volunteer.

K, I'll have him wake up w/o his at-home possessions nearby (you could have them in a locker someplace, but I'm going to expect you to decide how much you dragged out of his home) and his personal possessions would be neatly arranged on a chair (hinting that they went through and catalauged everything on him). Maybe even taken a lil blood sample from him.

Would be kinda funny if a group of your guys held onto the farm as "concerned relatives looking after his estate while he's on the run from the fuzz".

Thanks for the OOC hint on the shovel that I can't ethically use as a hint...

I'm hoping you ransacked the place for ammo, cause he only had 3 clips of shotgun ammo on him and I'm pretty sure he burned through a clip when you jumped him...

The food he had stocked is fairly basic.
Rice, canned meats, peanut butter, bread, maple syrup, grits, coffee, tea, pancake mix, flour, sugar, dehydrated milk, more ammo, correct barrels and chambers to use said ammo, gun cleaning kit, clothes...

The food seems fine - not sure where you'll exactly find good food where everyone goes, anyway.

You stock 6.5x55 Hurtian?
That or 12 ga...

Been meaning to make/submit a break-action muzzleloading/centerfire design similar to the T/C Triumph...

12 gauge works for me.

Reminder for those others involved here to get in posts!

OOC: Amazonia, I don't know your national laws of carry of / owning etc. of personal weapons so I'm trying to be careful - if this is completely out of wack, just let me know and I'll edit

Not sure about his, but IRL if you take a locked object through US customs, and refuse to open it in the pressence of the TSA/they can't open it themselves, they have permission to destroy the lock in order to sneak a peak. (as per the controversial patriot act that received near unnanamous bi-partisan support)

And for those that didn't catch the link:

Nah, owning weapons is something that's allowed in my country - because, pretty much, if you tried to shoot someone, the police (who are virtually...everywhere? And more soldiers than police) will shoot you first. Carrying guns is no worry - using them is.

LOKL I am fully of the belief that an armed sodcity is a polite one and there for in Tanaar carrying is Encouraged. Using them with out damn good reason is NOT. I stated locked so that light fingered baggage handlers can't just ioen and snatch - of course she'd open if any one official asked.

Probaly a good idea - it's not too difficult to get robbed in a city like Amazonia Central (population of 24 mil...)

I'll start collecting people down to explain stuff tomorrow, so peeps who haven't posted get back into the thread! I'll send some TGs to all not in yet as well.

I'm all set for whatever you're going to start us with. My last post was basically a bump... Hope you don't mind.

I point an automatic assault shotgun at the squirrel's head in my post?
As far as Fife is concerned, Brian could by a hybrid between a dodo-dog and a squirrel...

In the end, if it wasn't for the pot, he'd be in the middle of a mental breakdown and trying to gun his way out... He's a "Shoot first, ask questions later" kind of guy, except he's self concious of the fact he's as high as a kite and is bluffing with the gun.

Either way, drugged up guy with a military grade weapon designed for CQB on verge of mental breakdown due to being captured, and now coming face to face with a talking squirrel with a revolver...

This guy can handle terrorists, spies, zombies, aliens, hostile wildlife, and the occassional surprise invasion, but give him a talking squirrel (or duck) and he falls to pieces. (Haven't yet ICly admited to the existance of furries in a functioning Hurtian society [segregated/conspiracy?])

Yes. (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/349646) Even though the werewolf description makes no sense.

The gun is more leveled in your general direction of (OR: held in a threatening manner to) the group rather than actually shouldered and pointed in Brian's direction. As are his final words in the post.

Though I'm pretty sure his attention can focus on Brian very fast.

Plus, Bob is directly addressing Brian.
Thoughts were racing through Bob's mind.

How can I get out of this? Hey, they didn't take away my thompson.

He thought about it. No that would be a terrible mistake. There must be five guys here. He walked to the elevator.

"so how many of there are of you." He spoke to the squirrel.

That or I could settle and just fire a shell off in Simon's direction.

Did you get the "blind-firing in a forest" joke earlier?

Next will be Hans the lizard-bull, "why are we running from zombies", and maybe even a Kimbles refferance.
K, those aren't going to happen, still, worth a OOC chuckle to draw false parrallels in the stories.
