Welcome to Engel City.

Past the barbed wire and armed soilders is our city, barren and ruined. Subject of an expiriment by a secret faction of the US government, years have passed since a red mist covered our buildings and homes and now our populations resides in shelters and barracades trying to hold out another day.

But within our city there is hope, for even in the darkest of times light is known to shine through. For engel city this is the kind hearted individuals who have made their sole purpose the care and comfort of others, and built shelters for the young and maimed.

Our fate is not as yet determined, join us in deciding it.

-Q- OH! They're wonderful! However can I get one?
-A- By a sale, event, or pet trade/bribe,. Engelions for future sale will be posted on the thread in this post as their sale dates are decided. If there aren't any and you would still like one see if any slots are open in the bribes and trades section.
-Q- Okay, the big question... are these RP required?
-A- It's optional realy. If you want to participate in RP, then you will be at the hands of the masterful story-weaving Ogre. If your not into RP, like myself, at least stop by the thread and talk with us every so often. If you plan on just running off after buying an engelian, don't even bother buying one.
-Q- So who are Engelians and how do you pronounce that?
-A- They are the people of Engel, normal folk like you or I, that is, until the Red Storm. And it is pronounced En-gel-lee-ons.
-Q- What? So we're just adopting normal humands? WTH.
-A- Nooo! Read the story! >.< You don't adopt them either, you take over their character and RP as them!
-Q- Oh, okay. *reads story* ... sooo, why don't they just jump the fence or something?
-A- The security around the town is very good.
-Q- And no moutain hikers notice this and go to the media or anything?
-A- The security is EXTREMELY good! XD No more questions about that!
-Q- So can I run around the town and check out the lab and abandoned buildings and stuff?
-A-Sure! You can even come up with your own characters to join up with, or with another Engelian and run around killing crimson if you like. Just don't get eated D: You might even come across a plotline.
-Q- So with the mutations, is there any reason why they're SO TERRIBLY CLECHE?
-A- Because would you want to buy a dripping zombie head? No, of course not. Plus they're cute, and fun to draw! XD
-Q- So, can I own more then one?
-A- Not at the moment.
-Q- Can these breed?
-A- We'll be addressing that issue ssoon, for all current information addressing breeding please see this post.
-Q- How much do these cost?
-A- Depends on the artist. Whoever draws the child chooses the price, but it's capped at 15k. So it could even be free! biggrin
-Q- OMG! The Crimson are after me! What do I do?
-A- Pull out your trusty Zombie Survival Guide, and turn to page 69!
-Q- I've got a question thats not here, what do I do?
-A- Why, ask of course! We might end up adding it to the list! XD
-Q- Can I bribe/trade/get a custom Engelian?
-A- Oh yes, look here for information on that.

Quote:

Engel city has been selected by a special research branch of the government to be test subjects to a biochemical weapon.

The city, a small secluded community nestled into the Rocky Mountain side with only one main road out and barren environment for miles out on every side was barricaded off from the rest of the United States with all maps, economical, and sociological data that might reveal its existence erased. Few people entered or left the city and the government dealt with any "loose connections" by relocating them into the city or by simply eliminating them.

The City was unaware of its fate for weeks after it had been decided.

It was a snowy January day when the only passage way out of the mountains was blocked due to heavy snowfall, or so the soilders positioned at the barricades claimed. A week into the barricades government services became unavailable and mail stopped coming and going.

And finally, on the 13th of January the telephone lines went down to the outside world. Panic spread through the city as individuals who tried to leave were kept in by armed guards now positioned behind barbed wire.

A day later, the large biological processing plant on the city's north side let off what appeared to be red steam. The clouds drifted upwards and then back down onto the city. A large part of the city stayed, and watched as the magnificent shades of crimson drifted down onto their homes and businesses.

Others fearing the "coming as the storm" as it was eventually called and fled into strongholds, shelters and underground safe houses left over from the cold war where they bundled together for warmth and lived off of stocked up supplies.

Underground, life was nerve-racking and unsure as the small separated groups could only guess at what time it would be safe to leave. On the surface however it was a massacre. In the heart of the city the gas was so concentrated that those who breathed it would immediately go into coughing fits and blood would emerge from their mouths, noses, and eye ducts. Those who did not die immediately would be overcome by madness and mutations.

Those touched by the mist showed charateristic signs- red stains on the face, strange deformations, and depending on the level of contact- bouts of madness, and on occation physical violance.

Families turned on families, shelters became bloodbaths, and anywhere which was open to fresh air was soon infiltrated by the crimson cloud. Ducts located around the perimeter of the area collected any stray mist and returned it to the heart of the city to avoid spreading the experiment to infantry and the rest of Montana.

Eventually the mist died down, the air cleared, and those who had remained on the outskirts of the cities and underground who had waited out the storm emerged and began coaxing other groups out of their strongholds. Their city was in ruins, cars littered the streets and pockets of the storm remained in some homes and enclosed areas as well as other unwelcome discoveries.

Dead bodies littered the heart of the city and it got worse in surrounding areas where the effects were not as immediate and death was slow in coming. Those who did not come in contact with enough mist to die suffered a worst fate. These individuals became known as Crimson. Completely blind with anger and pain they roam the abandoned streets stained with red and covered in horrible deformations. The defining characteristic of a crimson is that the whites of their eyes have become black while the pupils and iris turn crimson. Enternaly hungry they try to consume anything warm or moving.

Surviving individuals moved to the outskirts of the city and to abandoned buildings, grouping together to fend off Crimson. Any attempts to leave the city were dealt with harsh military force, so the cities residents were forced to scrape together whatever they could to live.

And so, shelters, hosted by kind-hearted individuals started up and accepted the abandoned and parentless. They also became home to anyone who would take up arms and guard the area, as countless crimson wandered the streets.

Years passed in the community as the government was determined to see the outcome of their experiment. Spring, summer, fall, winter, spring again, stores ran low and groups of strong men and women formed to break into the large malls and storehouses in the heart of the city, which remained infested by the Crimson to steal food for the starving communities.

And so life and death in the city drags on up till today. More than two years after the initial incident.

Description of Engel City

Engel city is a waste land, and only the outskirts have any remaining human life. The toxin spread from the city center outwards, so the farther into the center of the city you go, the more Crimson you find and the more dangerous it becomes. Even the scavangers who roam the ruins looking for salvagable goods to supply the havens don't go very far in towards the city center. There is no TRULY safe place save inside the guarded havens themselves. Leaving the protected barriers of a shelter is always a risk, and very few people stray very far from the small communities. Most shelters have some form of guard set up, to protect the people from wondering Crimson.

Most shelters use scavanger groups to gather supplies. Either a shelter 'hires' an independant group, or they form a group of their own with volunteers of brave and capable individuals living in the shelter. Misfits Orphanage is supplied by the Blue Boys - a scavanger group lead by Alex Rogers, cousin to Ms. Doble and twin brother of Ben Rogers who runs the Orphanages defense. The Blue Boys also supply a number of other small shelters in the area. (see Alex journal in the Guild)

Misfits Orphanage is a haven for children who have developed mutations since the Mist has cleared. Many of these children end up cast out of shelters and ostracised by other humans who fear the Crimson and assume that mutations are either a step towards becoming a Crimson, or contagious or both. The Orphanage itself is set up in a large abandoned and somewhat ruined train station, with bedrooms more often communal then private, and walls frequently made of hanging tattered sheets. A working kitchen, and a makeshift medical center have been patched together, and there is a militia of volunteers both Misfit and Human who protect the building from the Crimson.

About the Orphanage and characters arrival

They were gathered at the begining, just after the Mist had cleared and Ms Doble set up her orphanage.
They came on their own, either after being kicked out of a shelter or losing their parents, making the dangerous trip on their own.
They were found outside a shelter but either the Blue Boys or some other scavanger group, and brought to the safety of the Orphanage.

About the Crimson

The Crimson are basically zombies, or perhaps they could be compared to rabid animals. Disfigured, inhuman and vicious, once someone has become a Crimson there is not cure and their human personality and intellect are no more - they have essencially been driven irreparably insane.
Crimson ARE contagious. Any injury given to someone by a Crimson risks infect that person, the greater the extent of the injury the greater the risk. Most people with proper medical attention won't be turned Crimson by just a gash or a single bite, but without treatment even something that small can be a risk. And even if a person doesn't become Crimson, they may develop certain physical deformaties as a result of the contamination.
Some shelters (usually those without a doctor or good medical supplies) will simply cast out anyone who is a contamination risk rather then risking someone turning Crimson within the confines of their shelter.

Elena Doble

Name
Miss Elena Doble
Age
24
Info
Caretaker and head of the Misfits Orphanage. Strong willed and assertive dispite her short disposition. Shes selfless and kind and because of her trustingness is prone to being taken advantage of on occation. Her coursins; Alex and Ben are very close and look out for her so it dosn't happen as much any more.

When she speaks it's quiet, a tone set in the city for most people since the storm. But she also has a hint of cheerfulness that never fails to inspire people around her to do their best in the time of need.

Ben Rogers

Name
Benjimin Tod Rogers
Age
26
Info
Identical twin brother of Alex. Used to play piano with his brother before the storm, but when his cousin Elena founded the Misfits Orphanage for the mutated children he used his skills in leadership to form a small militia to gaurd the building from crimson.

Ben has always been exceptional with kids and often follows them in seacret when they wander off from the orphanage to make sure they stay safe. Probobly the only other notible thing about him is his tone, soft and calm, even when he is aggrivated, much unlike his brother.

Alex Rogers

Name
Alexander James Rogers
Age
26
Info
Identical twin and poler opposite of his brother Ben. Though they have been known to finish each other's sentances on occation. Before the storm Alex had played Violin, and when his cousin started up the orphanage he took cue from his brother to get together a group to help supply it.

He's known for his carelessness when addressing the crimson, a group almost always mentioned in whisper and is prone to loud outbursts in quiet situation, also, Alex almost always speaks with a hint of aggrivation in his voice.

Dr. Randel Daniels

Name
Randel Daniels, PhD in Pediology
Age
32
Info
Docter who used to practice at St. Janes Medical Hospital. Was known for his love of children and boundless energy. At the time of the storm he had been sifting through a storeroom when the mist started seeping in through the hostpital airvents.

The back-up reserves to the hospital cut for one reason or another and the electronicaly-locked storeroom became a prison. All he could do was watch through the small window as the ward became overcome with gas. Fortunatly, or unfortunatly rather, the storeroom was on a seperate air supply not linked to the outside world.

And Dr. Daniels was left to his dark little room for two weeks before a raid broke open the door after the air had cleared looking for medical supplies. Eventualy he found his way to Misfits, although now he is somewhat quieter then before.

Topher Schnafer

Name
Herr Topher J. Schnafer
Age
46
Info
Topher won't say too much on his past, but as his story goes he was a scientist at [name of plant XD] at the time of the storm. He claims that he was a health Physicist and was kept in the dark as to what would happen.

He says that he found out about the storm's coming hours before the actual event when everyone was evacuating. He was opposed to it and in responce got shoved in a office and locked in. When the mist poured in he did his best to block the vents but obviously he was not so through as he had hoped.

He won't respond to any questions asked about the plant or how he excaped, all thats known for sure is that when he arrived at the orphanage he was nearly mistake for a crimson.

Child------------------->Adolecent---------------->Adult

||--Child-----
Stage Duration- About 1 Week
Description-
Coming to terms with the difference between themselves and the majority of other children in Engel City. Changes in this stage are in short bursts and mildly painful. It's a good idea to stay close to the orphanage at this time as any abilities a child might possess have yet to be fully manipulated in this stage.

||--Adolecent--------
Stage Duration- About 2 Weeks
Description-
Testing boundries of their city this is the stage where an Engelian is likely to get themselves in most trouble. Any physical changes in this stage are long and drawn out and mostly painless. Most Adolencents can't help but form groups and explore the city looking for trouble in order to test their abilities.

||--Adult--------------
Stage Duration- Forever
Description-
At this stage most Engelions try to take on protective roles in the life of younger misfits, they have a good grasp of their abilities and capibilities and not many new changes occur during this stage. Adults seek shelter away from the orphange in abandoned buildings or try their hand at building their own strong hold.

Depends on how well you can convince me XD

What about Pet Trades?
Perhaps, I like soilders, but I'm not a fan of Heavy RP.

Customs?
Depends on your concept and how much your willing to fork out for it. Hint: The better the concept, the lower I'll settle for, but I don't want to be doing one of these each month so I'm going to be picky.

Do you do bribes?
If they're really sweet ones. Mini-wings and panda hats will get you whatever you want in the world. OMG and AFK hats help.

What about Pet Trades?
Only if its something so awesome it makes me cry. You can always offer, cause I can always say no.

Customs?
Disregarding awesome bribes and pets that make me cry - customs will only be offered in auctions or contests.

Special RP Incentive!
I like it when people RP my pets. It makes me feel all warm and squishy inside. To encourage you to do so, I'm offering to update art for people who do extensive RP plots. Characters who gain memorable scars, important items, etc. can request art that is updated to reflect these things. This is ONLY available to people who RP their pets.

Do you do bribes?
The only I can think off is a lot off gold 0_o I am always weak for gold because I always need it. I am not so very found off items I got all items I like already.

What about Pet Trades?
Hm well I love kitty and anthro pets <3 but I can't think off any pets I want for the moment but feel free to ask ok ^~ but I am very picky actually and I don't like heavy rp pets.

Customs?
Yes I am thinking off doing costums yes but you have to bribe me with something really good ok =3 but I probably will auction them off.

Special RP Incentive!
Of course I want my pets that I made to be rp active but I am actually not so good at rp myself ^^; but if you are active I am very happy to give you something special, a special item maybe.

If I answered, it would ruin the purpose of a "bribe" wouldn't it. ^^

What about pet trades?
Yes if I really like the pet and if it doesn't require rp...

Customs
...Yes. (;

RPing bonuses
It's awesome to see more than just have my lines and colours sit there for eyecandy so I'll be happy to update art for those who really go into the rping deeply. <333
