JOURNAL OF AN ANONYMOUS SURVIVOR

FOUND ON A SKELETON IN NORTHWESTERN UNITED STATES

I'm writing this journal in case we recover. One day someone will find this and learn from the mistakes we've made. In this document is everything I know about the world as it is. It's not much, since I don't entirely know what happened myself, but it's the best I can do. I'm writing this a few days after the bombs dropped. If there's anything history has proven, it's that things are going to get much worse before they get better. People are more likely to rebuild than phase themselves out, but then I may just be one man overestimating humanity.

l can't tell you precisely what happened; it was too sudden. There were no warnings. What I can tell you is, oil amounts dropped substantially, supposedly having dried up. This effectively caused the collapse of various countries' economies, and ours was no exception. Without warning, there were riots in the streets of North America, which eventually evolved into rebellions against the already fragmented government. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. With time, I began to think the worst was behind us.

Then the nukes were dropped.

Thousands died immediately, and hundreds more caught a widespread infection that damaged the stability of their minds. I wish I knew who dropped the nukes and why, but I only know what I could gather before we were nuked. Rumor has it, though, that before the oil supply dropped, before the nation was nuked, before any of this occurred, there were increasing tensions between North America and the Middle East. Is this connected to everything we've been through this past decade? I'm afraid I don't know. But my pursuit of answers is not quite finished yet.

ENTRY 2

In this godforsaken hellhole, beaten by blazing heat, nothing but dust and sand all around and a few mountains of you're lucky...Cities fallen to their foundations, relics burnt in nuclear fire...Chances are if you meet anyone, they'll want to kill you and take whatever they can get from you.

The beginning was hard for the people, as the basic needs for an average human were disappearing at an alarming rate, food becoming hard to find, even harder to find food that hadn't expired. Water was more easy to find, but nevertheless hard, the miniscule lakes found throughout the wasteland providing a supply of either clean or radiated water. People had thought about growing tiny patches of farmland, which are often raided.There are a lot of guns and ammo right now--mostly rifles and pistols or revolvers. It won't last, though. I know the ammo will run out fast unless more can be made. Soon, I'll have to fashion myself a
different weapon to rely on in case I run into anything dangerous.

As the warheads fell and wiped out most of our technology, few people found an alternative means to power our electrical appliances. Car batteries or just normal batteries. Affected by a large amount of radiation, these are a valued source in our new life. They are prone to exploding if not handled with care. They can be recharged by taking one batteries life, and transitioning it to another battery through a spark plug, just by tapping it. I'm lucky enough to have four here.

ENTRY 3

I've observed that I'm not the only one whose hope hangs by a small thread, whose faith in humanity is dwindling with each day. Things have changed- drastically. Desperate times call for desperate measures, I suppose. And as much as I dread the idea of moving on and adjusting to this new lifestyle, I know that it's necessary. It could mean the difference between life and death. My old life is just a voice from the past, and any hope for a better future is a buried dream. Aristotle had once said that, "Hope is the dream of a waking man." What, then, is the dream of a weary man?

I'm on my own. It seems that besides the occasional band of raiders, everyone's a scavenger or a thief working by themselves. I guess I can't blame them for not trusting others. It's an easy way to die. Yesterday I trusted a group of men along the road, carrying all manner of goods. They looked like they were selling.

They took my wife alive.

ENTRY 4

I'm in the southwestern USA. Just like any other place I've been to, all I see is dust, rock and the lifeless ruins of what one could call cities if they were being generous. It might be better elsewhere. I think I'll head north.


RULES:

-Common sense.
-The RP will continue until the last character is dead, natural causes or otherwise.
- Romance is allowed, but be warned that relationships can end brutally and abruptly.
-You will start out alone, but over time you will probably find other characters. An exception is if another RPer grants you permission to start with them.
-You start in post-nuclear southwestern USA.

Name: Gary Cross.
Age: 32.
Gender: M.
Equipment: A .308 Bolt action rifle with two bullets, it is in poor condition. He has a Geiger counter, a watch, a compass and a picture of a beautiful beach coast before the nukes.
Description: (personality, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) Gary is a cold and cynical man, often cutting himself from groups to avoid sharing supplies. He has always held a soft spot in his heart for sharpshooting and technology, however, when it comes to close quarters combat or trusting, he doesn't excel well.
Appearance: A man of 6'1, Gary has a large brown beard, evidence that he had let it grow out before the warheads struck. His brown hair was rough, being swept in odd amounts over his forehead. His eyes consisted of a light blue tint. Gary had a medium build, along with dust and grime all over his body, implying that he spent most of the beginning OUTSIDE. He wears a dark leather duster, with old jeans, leather boots and a ragged black shirt underneath the duster. He wears a gas mask, similar to this. http://oyster.ignimgs.com/planets/images/00/45/4538_Helmet.png

Yes, I may or may not have based his appearance on the NCR Ranger Veteran.


Background: Back before the nukes, Gary was a kind man working at an ICT company. On his breaks, Friday-Sunday, he would go to the firing range to make sure his weapon was all in order. He and his friends would often hunt on Saturday.

NCR RANGER VETERAN I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ACCEPTED

But without "Gary was a kind man working at an ICT company", because it doesn't fit the rest.

He was diagnosed with cancer when he was 32, but he then signed up for some sort of experimentation. The experiments didn't go through, and the radiation cleansed his body of the cancer, because physics and quantum.

Name: Ian O'Malley; often called "Staff Sarge" by the survivors he travels with.

Age: 29

Gender: M

Equipment: A worn bulletproof vest looted from a cop; an M4A1 rifle; a P226 handgun; some MREs in his backpack. 3 extra mags for his M4, and no extras for his P226.

Description: O'Malley is a very friendly person, unless you piss him off, which happens fairly easily; the people who he works with are usually careful around him.

Appearance: http://www.twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Nolan-North-Spec-Ops.jpg, save for the burns and stuff.

Background: Formerly an Army soldier before the war, SSgt. Ian O'Malley was training to join Delta Force when the bombs dropped. He, and a few other survivors from Camp Trevelyan now wander the wastes, bringing law to the lawless, like Street Judges walking the Cursed Earth.

(Survivors he travels with? What survivors?

He can be friendly or hot-headed. He can't be both at once.

Way, way too many guns for the amount of devastation the Earth has taken. Unless you have some kind of justification, he probably lost most of them except one or maybe two.

If you're going to loot a bulletproof vest off of a cop, it'll happen through an encounter on this RP. It hasn't been that long since the nukes fell. You haven't had the opportunity yet.

And if he's going to be the master vigilante you make him out to be, he should be older as to have more training.)

(Well I did say dat done don militurry. I'll cap the P226, I guess. Also, there's a Navy SEAL EOD guy that was 28 when he did one op.. So I think I'm OK in age. If you insist, however, 34. No bulletproof? OK. I'll just wear army khakis or something. And for the other guys, gimme a sec.)

(Your guns are fine, sorry. I'm just an idiot.

I suppose you can be 28.

Now the question is whether you're hot-headed or friendly, because I have to work with that.)

(Also, don't cap the P226. Another one, make him friendlier I guess. Hard to get too pissed on a forum. More edits: O'Malley is also sometimes referred to as "Frost".)

Name: Loren Lam, usually referred to by the others as "Redspy" or just "Red."

Age: 34

Gender: M

Equipment: Remington M700 sniper rifle with 5 mags and a 5x zoom scope, detachable. 2 combat knives weighted for throwing.

Description: Loren is a bit hot-headed, getting mad fairly easily. He occasionally makes racist jokes, which O'Malley passes off by singing "Everyone's a little bit racist, sometimes!"

Appearance: http://www.spawnfirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Portrait1.jpg handles most of it. For the rest of the body, Loren has a ghillie suit in his backpack. When he's not wearing that, he wears cargo pants to hold his mags, and a plain grey t-shirt stained from the oppressive heat of the desert.

Background: Loren, Frost, and Patriot were childhood friends, and eventually, O'Malley persuaded both of them to join up in the Army with him. Loren was a marksman, who was in the middle of Sniper School when the bombs dropped, and Colby, AKA Patriot, was an explosives expert, trained in explosive ordnance disposal.

(Patriot is coming soon.)

Name: John Evans

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Equipment: A switchblade, a rugged Colt M1911 pistol with five shots left, a silver diver's watch, a white zippo lighter, and a water flask that's half-empty. Several pouches are on his belt to store anything he comes across.

Description: John always prided himself on knowing several important facts, along with quite a few trivial facts. He always did his research on things, kept up to date with the news, and read books to further his intellect. He's trained in basic hand-to-hand combat and is able to aim and fire a gun fairly well.

John handles pressure well, and remains in a calm state at most times. This calmness infuriates people who are attempting to scare or intimidate him. More often than not, just being himself has gotten him into trouble. He tells people the truth, even if they don't want to hear it. He believes that the harsh truth is better than any sort of blissful ignorance.

This belief about the concept of truth is one of John's largest downfalls. He's extremely curious, always digging deep to find the truth in a world of lies. This leads him to poking his head around places he really shouldn't be. This also leads to him distancing himself from people who aren't as smart or determined as he is.

Appearance: John once had long, brown hair. However, he's shaved his head in favour of a buzzcut. He sports a 5 o'clock and has deep green eyes. He's slight shorter than average and has a slightly above average build. He seems like an average guy, except for the scowl that is constantly on his face.

He wears a white t-shirt and a pair of dark brown cargo pants. A pair of black sneakers house his feet. At his waist is a black belt with several light brown pouches attached to it. A gun holster is at his right side. Among these, he wears a beige, woolen short cloak, which only reaches down to his lower back. The hood of the cloak is usually pulled up. His clothes are riddled with sand and dust.

Background: Although he's a genius, he worked at an office job, typing away at a keyboard most of the time. He did take martial arts and self-defense classes, however. John lived comfortably middle-class before the nukes dropped. He didn't have any friends that he would hang out with after work, as he mostly kept to himself. He watched TV and read books to keep himself entertained.

Even with his mundane life, John is no stranger to crime. He once got bored and decided to practice pick-pocketing for the Hell of it. He also took several classes on the French language and eventually learned how to speak fluent French. Needless to say, John has very peculiar interests.
