Re: The Ballad of Peacekeepers

(Based off of Poets of the Fall's song 'The Ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper'.)
America, home of the once free. This previous sprawling western democracy is now just a lot of radiation, dust, and dead bodies. How did it get this way? WWIII, now called the War to End the World.
It all started in 2029 when tensions in the Middle East reached their highest. Israel, with the threat of being invaded by their enemies, started viciously bombing Egypt, Syria, and Iran. Egypt's government, shaken and enraged by Israel, starting invading at once and later with the help of Syria and Iran. The United Nations hesitated to step in but the USA decided it was their duty to defend one of their biggest allies and began to send troops by the masses to stop the invaders. By the time America was firmly entrenched in the Middle East North Korea saw the chance that they've sought for so long. They immediately began crossing the DZ (Demilitarized Zone) and invading their Korean counterpart. South Korea was unprepared for the attack and began to set up defensive barriers to keep more land from being lost. South Korea begged for the assistance of the US and so they started to send reinforcements to help out.
China decided to go visit an old 'friend'. Since the rest of the world was in turmoil they began to start the invasion of Taiwan. The US couldn't do anything to stop this due to the fact by now they're stretched well beyond limit of their military power.
And then the nuclear warheads.. The first was dropped by Israel on Egypt. Then one dropped on Israel by Pakistan. From there the UK finally decided to come in with an entering of dropping a bomb on Pakistan as retaliation for their ally. China shot at UK, France shot at China, Russia shot at North Korea, North Korea shot at USA, and many more after that.
By the end of WWIII there were practically no winners. The Korean Peninsula was a wasteland as well as parts of China and all other countries. The US got hit hard. A volley of nuclear bombs from various enemies all aimed at major cities in the US completely shook the nation. After that smaller bombs were hit in lesser populated areas to finish it off. The US was now not suitable land for really anything so no one actually invaded it and claimed the land as their own.
The year is now 2037. The stragglers of the destroyed nation started up their own little safe havens. Some collapsed and others flourished. The thing is no one would've guess what was rising in the west..
They go by the name Purifiers. Wearing robes, this group began to travel the Mojave and 'cleansed' towns by killing off whoever or wherever didn't seem fit to stay in the world anymore. The sad thing is that they actually think they're helping when all they're doing is just wasting precious life.
Then came the Peacekeepers. This group of wastelanders started heavily training themselves and selected few to join. All of them replaced their last name with 'Peacekeeper'. These are the last that are able to stop the Purifiers before it is too late..
(I believe the starting area will be some small town where the Peacekeepers are meeting.)

|RULES| 1. The weapons will be rather modern. There will be a badlander hit to it with rusty motorcycles, goggles/leather, that type of thing. 2. What I say goes. 3. I will appoint admins appropriately. 4. Please, keep it realistic. This means you can die and no being overpowered, no perfect characters, etc. 5. Put 'Jeremiah' in the 'Other' slot of the CS to confirm that you read the rules. 6. Saying 'it isn't in the rules' will be frowned upon, usually resulting in banning. 7. Trolls, go wander off now. 8. All other basic rules.

(As I said in the thread that when you join the Peacekeepers your last name is replaced with, you guessed it, Peacekeeper.
It's alright to have your previous last name but just remember that for future reference in the thread.
Both of you are accepted.)

CS:
Name: Nicholas Peacekeeper
Age: Twenty four
Gender: Male
Appearance (Physical/clothing): Nicholas is a tall, medium build. He is decently skinny from starving from the years, but he can still move around easily and is regaining more of his former weight. He currently weighs about 140 pounds and stands five feet and four inches. He wears a black buttoned down sweater and a white undershirt, his pants are basically just normal pants- without a name to describe them. He isn't muscular by any means, but he can at least carry a decent weight.
Personality: Nicholas has been traumatized as a child, he has seen soldiers march through his home killing his friends and family, and he has seen many sacrifices made to help him escape his former home. As a result, he is quiet, and even though he has a long fuse, it's not exactly a good idea to set him off. Once you kind of start to befriend him, he can be a pretty reliable ally. He's more of a loyal type at heart, but he also doesn't like to be dominated, which is another thing to watch out for.
Years as Peacekeeper: 2
Items/Weapon: Nicholas carries a no-dachi as his primary weapon, an asian longsword that has been known over history to be very heavy and difficult to use, however, Nicholas has perfected the art of using it. It has many faults though, even though it has a much longer range than most swords, it can be easy to quickly knock him off balance and finish him off.
He also carries a small pistol for close range and far ranged combat, he never carries more than 3 full clips on him.
Bio (I would at least like a short one): Nicholas was raised as a South Korean child before the war started, he lived a better than average home, having many luxeries like a warm home, and many privilages. He attended a private school, and he always dreamed of bringing pride to his nation. However, once the war began when he was sixteen, that dream never crossed his mind again. He has seen his family and friends die infront of him, and released by the North Korean soldiers for a few laughs. The thought he would die. They knew he would die. But there was one problem with that prediction. He didn't.
Other: Jeremiah
Very nice RP llama.

Name: Will Kingston Peacekeeper
Age: Twenty-five
Gender: M
Appearance (Physical/clothing): Will is more or less built as a cowboy. He's tall and lanky, like most people named Will. His leg muscles are considerably stronger and tougher than his arms, which are mostly skin. His ribs show at this skin, and is rather light on his feet. Also not to be unnoticed, his legs are considerably longer than his chest, so sitting up his knees often rise to about low stomach, but he usually sits with his legs spread out, so that it doesn't happen. He has some brown, sharp hair spiked just because of bed hair. He has sharp, angled cheek bones, facing outwards. There is a little sack under his eyes, making them look much more fierce. And believe me, it looks like the demon with a burning passion is coming after you with those sharp brown eyes. His jaw was sort of firmly set, like it was as forceful as could be. He does have some scars, two large one down his arms, reaching all the way down to his knuckles. He also has about a million down his back, but he won't say why. However, he doesn't have any other scars on him, portraying him not as a fall guy, but more of a marksman. And boy, is he one! But we can get to that later. For clothing he wears a simple brown, dusty shirt, with no visible flaws or tears, and over that is a leather cowboy's vest, with a combat knife strapped to the front of it, and two loops for his hunting rifle. Going down to his arms, he has some black combat gloves you expect to find on any decent soldier. He wears some tough jeans, which have lasted skid, tumble, roll, and all that and still survive through it. And then, of course, he has some cowboy boots.
Thus, you can call him cowboy, as the brown cowboy hat finishes it off.
Personality: TBR
Years as Peacekeeper: He doesn't keep track. He's relatively new, or relatively old, depending on who you ask. Nobody asks more than that.
Items/Weapon: A hunting rifle [about five clips with him, not loaded] and a combat knife [if this isn't acceptable, tell me and I'll come up with something else.], a backpack, a map and compass, and Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Bio (I would at least like a short one): Will was one of those people you were quite sure was going to be something great, a basketball player, soccer player, mathematics genius, a scientist, a doctor, all of that. But, Will screwed those predictions early on, purposely not caring about his school work, and pretty much failed everything. But that's not to say that he isn't smart, he's learned enough street smarts and technical smarts to last a life time. Shortly after finishing school, he became a mechanic and rose the ranks. Then came the bloody draft, and swept him away. He returned a year before it all went down, and made a few friends, watching time go by. He grew in his skills, eventually got a mechanics degree in about a year, as face it, he knew his stuff. Then came the explosions, then came the Purifiers. There goes Luke, one of his only friends. The Purifiers came into town one night, and killed him. No reasons behind it. Just pure murder. He devised a plan to get them back. He took a revolver, slipped it into his pocket, portrayed himself as weak, and they came knocking on his door. He was ready, and one bullet fell into one's head before they blinked, and another one went with another shot. And another, and another. He never got the final man, who escaped with a bullet in his arm. And really, he just sort of blacked out from there on out. Not as in he fell asleep until now, just that he doesn't really remember. He was consumed by something. Not grief, not anger, but he never has figured it out.
Other: Jeremiah was a bullfrog, and he was a good friend of mine... |
