L.A.
Primary Race: Kaiju
Places of Significance: None
Population Size: ????
Information: Once the defining city of California it is now nothing more then radioactive buildings surrounding a crater. If people could survive going there they might see great shadows of humanoids roaming the ruins.

As the drone followed the train that it assumed it's objectives were on the transmission began to fade for the Imperious Leader.

Even after all of these years the radiation is thick enough to interfere for video feeds, he thought to himself, pity. He then checked his various units throughout the region, seeing if any could survive in LA and were close enough to continue pursuit. Oh yes, that submarine, it isn't too far away. [Deploy USS Gato to LA; maximum submerged speed]

(I don't know what to post for Cedric. Also if you don't want the Imperious Leader/Zechs to intervene in anything then just say so...)

( Yea I can understand. I was going to kick it off with vaga in the morning.

As to interruptions I don't mind as long as you wait till after the emotional high point. It should be right around the time the roof of where they are going gets ripped off by an enemy of DOOM! That should give Raven lots of time to get better.)

The train roared through the tunnel at high speeds. Light enters the windows in a near seizure pulse. Just as Vaga was starting to get worried the train began to slow. As it ground to a halt the doors slid open.

The room it emptied out into was a wreck. Cement from floor to ceiling laced with what looked like tree roots that had managed to slowly eat through the walls. As he stepped out of the train Vaga felt something crack under his foot. Bone. It was human bones. The skeleton of a child still held in its arms the half rotted remains of a stuffed bear. Taking a closer look around he could see more skeletons. Some still held M-16s and other weapons.

" No bite marks" Vaga said looking closer at the child's bones. " Wasn't zombies."

Cedric slid his rifle off of his shoulder and cocked a round into the chamber as he held it at the ready. "Are the bones fresh you think? Or have they been here for awhile." He looked around the room. In his hometown he had only ever encountered zombies and the occasional bandits, but before his parents died they had told him of much worse.

"Old. Years old even. What ever did this is long gone." It was at that moment Vaga noticed the skull sitting sidewasy on a terminal near the train.

A shiver went through his body. For on that skull was a mark like no other. A small hole right in the forehead. Like someone had used a delicate icepick to enter the skull.

He knew that mark well. He had left one just like it on a man what seemed like a life time ago. Far away at a distant beach.

" Cedric I think it was something worse then zombies. I think I did this."

Cedric looked at Vaga, quite confused, "what do you mean?"
PostPosted: Mon Apr 19, 2010 11:23 pm


"I know that mark." Vaga pointed at the skull of the terminal operator.
" It's a wound from this" Vaga's hand opened in the center and a tentacle emerged. At the end was a vicious looking barb. Before Cedric's eyes that barb split into what looked like thin air. Then he noticed the shimmer. A thousand tendrils thinner then hair flowed like water in the non-existent wind.

Almost like magic the barb snapped back together again. Vaga reached out his armor coated arm and lifted an undamaged skull from the floor. " Usually I enter with the sucker end and use the hair thins to access the brain without damaging the host, but in a hurry." He drove the barb into the forehead of the skull. It immediately fanned out into the hairs and proceeded to violently search every nook and cranny. " I just rape the mind and throw away what is left."

With a dirty look he tossed the skull away. " That is what Michael had in mind for all of you. It's a waste."




( You know sometimes I find Vaga's character funny. He really does speak to me. I say I want to take the moral route and he says no. I try to take the cold unfeeling rout and that rings false as well. The cannibal hero is an odd one.
I want him to be totally disgusted by his brain rape, but in my mind he isn't. He simply finds it a misuse of resources.

I wanted him to say he is sad a while back, but it turns out he doesn't know he is feeling that. He knows the word. He feels the feeling but he can't connect them. I'm starting to understand what an author say when he talks about a character speaking to him.)

(That is pretty interesting... I don't think any of my characters have ever spoken to me in that way. But I think I do understand getting to know them. Like... Valen for example, I know him quite well now, after using him for so long. And even in two RPs he is quite different, at least in my opinion. In Olde World he is still the repentant knight, horrified by the centuries of mass murder he has caused and he is seeking a way to redeem himself. One of the reasons he so eagerly wants to slay Dais, is that he believes it might clear him of his sins, and prove to the world that he is a good man. But in New World he is much more duty driven, not so much trying to prove anything, he wishes to destroy Dais then because he knows it must be done. Not for him, but just because it has to. Also he is both more mature and more open to opening up in New World, in subtle ways I think. I dunno, it is odd, and interesting to have such an old character.

Karas seems significantly different too in my opinion.)

"Hmm," Cedric said. He should have been disturbed by the idea of Vaga doing that to people, but he wasn't, he knew Vaga, and trusted him. And he knew that he was different, although not entirely sure how, he just accepted it.

(I don't think Cedric would say anything else, he is kinda just following Vaga, being ready to be there when he needs help. This is really Vaga's show.)
PostPosted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 1:09 pm


( well Karas has four sides. two are in the old world and three are in the new. *In the old world he is still under the thumb of the old gods so he is truly resigned to his fate, but he cares for mortals so he will try not to shatter their illusions of free will.

In the new world he is slave to no one. his place in the order of things changed. Somewhere deep down though he still has a soul and it is in constant agony from the things he does.)

" Lets keep moving."

Following the only hallway they passed more then a few doors but all remained locked. When they came to a fork in the tunnel a voice came from the darkness to the right. " This way" [

They followed the voice into the darkness. Suddenly the lights clicked on. A badly damaged robot sat in a chair. Wires ran from it's head to a large computer. " Welcome home Nick" the computer and the robot spoke as one. " I'll tell you all you need to know, but first." A darkened corner of the room lit up. " Your Father will want to see you. "

An old man lay on a dolly. Both his legs and one arm were missing. Half of his face seemed to have been torn away. From each of his missing limbs strange root like growths spilled onto the floor. A plethora of medical devices were connected to him. Each one handing a different biological function.

The single unruined eye opened. It passed over the two newcomers and dismissed them. Slowly is began to close. Vaga felt something inside him twist painful.
" Have you come to take your poor father home Nick." The old mans voice was rough, yet soft. Like it hadn't been used in a hundred years.
" Come here boy. " Slowly Vaga approached the old man. As he neared the bed the man good arm grabbed him with surprising strength. He could have still pulled away but something made him bend his knees. He felt the old mans arm wrap about his shoulders.
" My son. My beautiful boy. I'm so sorry. You suffered so long because I couldn't except that you had to go. " Vaga could feel the old mans tears dripping on his neck. He wanted to tell the old man he was wrong. That he was not his son, but something held the words back.
" My son can you forgive me?"
Vaga felt the words rising in his throat. " Of course dad. I love you. " It was a lie, but it felt right. He started to take it back but he felt the old mans arm go limp. " I'm sorry" was all he could could manage.

He rose from the body and closed the old man's remaining eye. As he turned away Vaga felt a wet trickle on his cheek. Bringing his hand up to wipe away what ever discharge the old man had left on him he realized it was just water. He wiped the water away. Yet more kept coming.
It was so stupid. He couldn't help himself. All he could do was stand there laughing with tears streaming down his face.




(Holy crap to much typing. anyway that's all for the moment. When next i type the origin of Vagabond. Feel free to comment with Cedric on that last part or not. )

Although Cedric was confused he knew that his friend seemed sad, so he asked, "are you alright?" He couldn't think of what else to say.
PostPosted: Tue May 11, 2010 12:50 am


" I..he..I don't know." he choked out.
" I never meet that man before but this." He held a hand up to his face as it to put his tears on display. " This stuff wont stop. Why?"


" Because as I told you he was your father Nick." The robots cold voice came from the computer's screen. " Soon I'll be where he is. The damage to my processors it irreparable, but before I go the least I can do is tell the doctors story."

The screen behind the shattered robot came to life.

Diary 1


A man barley recognizable as the dead old man on the stretcher stepped into view. He was in his mid-forties and balding, but with bright eyes. " Hello my name is doctor Henry West. After my capture for illegal cloning and subsequent drafting into project EDEN I have started this diary to leave a testament to the world when ever this should become public."

Adjusting his coat the doctor held up a picture of a small boy. " The reason I am here is my son Nick. He was born with a genetic disorder that was killing him. Using every skill at my disposal is was able to keep some part of him alive by cloning him. Each time I tried new ways to help him survive, but after losing him three times I turned myself into the police."

A strange light came into the doctors eyes. A small light like that of a far away candle. " But now I have new hope. Rather then lock me away the military wants to help me cure my boy. Nick will live."

Project EDEN Video log# 124:

A small boy is lowered into a vat of clear liquid. " Daddy? Where is Daddy?" He mumbles through what looks like a great deal of pain.
" I'm right here son" Comes the reply of the doctor.

Diary 2


" Today I lost my son for a fourth time. However this time I killed him. My boy couldn't take the pressure of the sampling of his DNA. His little heart gave out, but...O god...." The doctor rose from his chair and ran from the room. After a some time he returns wiping at his mouth with his sleeve.
" sorry, but none of that matters. Soon I'll have him back, and this time he will be strong. Strong enough that his heart will beat for a thousand years."

Project EDEN video log: Birth of 0


On the screen a small boy awakens on a dolly and seeing the doctor reaches out to him. "Daddy. Dad. I was so scarred." On the boys arm is a small tattoo of the number 0. The doctor hugs the boy and the screen fades to black.




( This is gonna be long. )

Vaga could only sit in stunned silence as the scenes on the monitor played out in his mind. As if he were there.

######
Diary 3


The doctor sat holding the new Nick in his lap.
" The goal of this project is twofold. The first is to disarm our enemies. The second is to repair our country's damaged environment. Both are done through the gift of auto cellular evolution. Not only does Nick's body automatically process radiation and turn it into ATP, but his immune system automatically destroys viruses and cancers of all kinds." Once again that insane light came into the doctor's eyes.
" When they learn that the U.S. will rise from the ashes of any war that befalls us and can easily clean up the damage our enemies will have to surrender and ask for peace." Tussling Nick's hair the doctor laughs.

Project EDEN Video log: Death of 0.


Nick lay on a dolly screaming as in pain. " So much. Why Daddy why did you bring me back. I can feel it all. WHY!"

As the boy screams his features seem to harden as his skin melts. Slowly his legs flow into the floor and take root cracking the tile floor. A great tendril grows from his back. Pulling the boy's body along it breaks through the ceiling into the second level of the complex. When it was twice the height of a man dozens of smaller tendrils sprouted from it. Each brimming with multicolored leaves. As his face began to harden the pain seemed to fade " It's time to sleep.Good Night dad. " As he said the words he closed his arms across his chest.

What was left was a small tree with the torso and head of a boy growing out of the trunk, and a broken man hugging its base crying his eyes out.


Project log: Presentation of progress with subject one.


At this point an overweight man in a military uniform stood before the camera. " Hello Mr. President. I hope you find this informative. Today we have for you subject ONE. He is a direct genetic decent of our prototype but with full control over his own cells. "
The camera paned over a clear plastic dome. Inside was what looked like Nick, but when it looked into the camera there was no humanity. It smiled and a thousand razor sharp teeth filled the screen.
The mans voice returned. " Don't worry that's not the finished project. We are using it to determine what limitations to put on the next version. I'm also happy to report that our genetic marker system took. "

The camera zoomed in on a tattoo of the #1 on the boys chest. The child for his part sat still and continued to smile as the camera with those teeth. " I'm going to cleanse all of you filthy humans off the planet." It spoke directly into the camera.

Chuckling the man in uniform adjusted his tie and wiped away some sweat on his brow. " We tried a visual memory imprint with this generation to imprint the importance of restoring nature but it is not working out. The Three's will have a vocal one. I'm proud to say I'll be both the voice of reason and their genetic donor. I was thinking something from the bible. "


Diary 27


The doctor sat in front of the web cam visable older and with a bandage over one eye. " The bombs dropped yesterday. We lost the parts of the complex where the defective numbers 1 and 3 were being kept. I fear they may have gotten lose. I need to go now. "



Security footage 1933287342874

Vaga stepped from the tram. He wore nothing but a ripped sheet. Dozens of solders trained m-16's on him as he waled into the passage.

Security footage 1933287342875

Men and women pushed against the tram doors to escape the thing comings down the hall. As the tram leaves the station bearing dozens of people Vaga exited the tunnel chewing on a child arm. A single tentacle shot from his shoulder into the last guards head.
Smiling he tapped a few buttons on the control and walked up to the platform to watch the tram slowly return to him. As the door opened the people inside screamed. The tape cut off.

Journal 47


Doctor Henry West lay on the dolly that would be his home for the rest of his life. Breathing through tubes he hacked out a laugh. " He let me live. That demon used my sons face to get in and he let me live. I don't know why but he did. "


Journal 50

Henry looking closer to the end then before stared with his one good eye right into the screen. " I know now these are no journal. They are my confession. I couldn't let my son go and the world will pay the price. The thing I unleashed in his place is a horror unimagined, but like Pandora I have hope. He let me live. That shows he still might have some shred of human compassion. So as my other journals have been a confession let this one serve as a will."

With his Remaining arm Henry grabbed the camera and brought it in so that his face filled the entire screen. " Listen well my son. If you have a human soul and can hear this then know I love you. If you can find it in you to forgive me then please I beg you to use you gift; your curse' to help what ever of this world is left recover. They will need you for we did not stop making monsters at just 3. "

####

With that the camera cut off leaving Vaga and Cedric staring at the blank screen. Then Vaga fell to his knees and just pounded the floor until the cement began to crack.


( OMFG I hope this was clear. You know its hard as hell to write a video in third person being watched by our characters. So any comments would be nice.)

( O_O OMG that was amazing! Your writing is absolutely beautiful! ^__^ Also now that there are more Vaga's running around #1 will make more sense. )

Note: I listened to the music you had as background in your head jsut now and it definetly makes the scene even more epic when I reread it.
