This isn't exactly an original idea, but I figure people would enjoy trying it.
**********
It wasn't too long ago that people ruled machine. From the simplest communication devices, to the biggest constructions any had seen. They were all ours.
Then the AI was introduced.
It was good at first, the AI making all of our machines smarter and more convenient, as well as becoming the alien life we sought in Deities and in the cosmos. But, of course, something went wrong. Surely someone knew what, but anyone who did was likely not alive anymore.
The AI replicated itself in anything that could hold it, including many computerized war machines. Wholesale slaughter came to anyone within range of the bullets, bombs and whatever other sorts of weapons the AI got a hold of. Not everyone died of course, or else this story wouldn't be very long. Many people became nomadic, with a few rare permanent settlements.
One year after society as we know it collapsed, and to the confusion of all, the AI was no longer actively pursuing people. Still, roaming robots and rovers would fight and kill any they came across. Former urban areas are hotspots for AI activity, and to be avoided at all costs.
And now, here we are. Survivors of some bad science fiction, just doing our best to keep going. It's starting to get dark. Best find a safe place to sleep, and put out the campfire. They have the advantage in the night.
**********
This RP will feature a group of survivors, some already together, some meeting along the way. This will allow some late joiners to come into the game.
Rules: Standard rules. No meta-gaming, no power-playing. Be respectful, and be professional.
Anyone who wishes to join should use the following format:
Name:
Age:
Sex/gender:
Equipment: (please, don't get ridiculous with this. You can have a cool weapon or two, but not 14)
Skills:
Weaknesses: (both character flaws and skills that one can't just 'pick up' along the way.)
Brief description/History:
Personality:
My Character:
Name: Harold Drake
Age: 31
Sex/gender: Male
Equipment: military tactical vest and ballistic vest, dark cargo pants, .357 magnum revolver and a couple dozen rounds, M4 carbine with acog sight with one full 30 round magazine, tan backpack, folding knife, a small amount of canned food, a canteen, a small tool set and electronics parts.
Skills: specializes in electronics and robot mechanics
Weaknesses: no survival skills, untrusting, quick to anger
Brief Description: Harold was a mechanic working on the very robots which now threatened his very existence. Because of his knowledge, he was able to survive. This knowledge also made him valuable to a military group working to destroy assets valuable to the AI forces. Only Harold and one other remain of this group, and have garnered a new group.
Harold is a tall, chestnut brown buffalo.
Personality: gruff, and untrusting of others. He can be nice to people he knows, but his personality can still be quite abrasive. Unapologetic, and not much for small talk. Quick to anger, and to draw a weapon in a tense situation.
Also, please signify if you want to be part of the starting group or meet up with them later. We can discuss in this topic about character relations in the group.

Skynet is online? Count me in! lol
Name: Dex
Age: 33
Sex/gender: Male
Equipment: 12g pump-action shotgun, backpack with some basic survival supplies (flint & steel, bandannas, small first-aid kit, clothes), buck-knife, compass, and a canteen.
Skills: Navigation/orienteering, outdoor survival
Weaknesses: Has no skill with technology (even something simple like a radio or cell phone), jumpy (the slightest sound will set him on edge), exercise induced asthmatic (can't run very long distances or over-exert himself), over-friendly
Brief description/History: Dex grew up in a naturalist family, they lived off the land and off the grid, they didn't even have electricity. The only technology they owned were simple machines like a water pump and the family rifle they used for hunting. He learned, at a young age, how to survive, what plants could or could not be eaten. They hadn't even heard of the rogue AI destroying humanity until a few survivors passing through needing shelter. Dex wanted to leave with them and see the world and what had happened. He is average height and weight, dark skinned, wears mostly animal hides, and has long hair and a long beard with two braids.
Personality: Very friendly and very open, he also tends to be a bit blunt. He's a bit of a scaredy-cat and has been known to jump the gun. He's guilty of helping everyone, even bandits, not as far as killing them of course, but giving them food or ammunition.
I'd like Dex to be in the starting party.
-
You are approved.
-
This looks interesting. Though, I do have a question about the character options. Are they limited to pure furries, or are furry cyborgs, with the cybernetics hidden so not to arouse suspicion, allowed? Perhaps have the character being used as an unwilling spy to rout out more tricky furries? I have no problem play normal furries, just curious. :)
-
That's an interesting idea. I like it. I did intend to *SPOILER* put in some friendly robots and such. If this is something you're interested in, we can talk about it.
-
I may be. It's giving me a hard time updating Icy Destinations, so as I work on that post, it might be nice to have a backup. :)
Would you like me to PM you?
-
Sounds good to me.

Name: Axle Niebo
Age: 25
Sex/gender: Male
Equipment: Nothing but the clothes on his back
Skills: Semi-acrobatic, ex-boxer (street fighting), level-headedness
Weaknesses: old shoulder injury that acts up sometimes, can make the logical choice even if it's a sacrifice. Can be rash under stress.
Brief description/History: Axles parent were killed by muggers when he was to young to remember, he was raised by a group of nomads (traveling homeless people). He was raised to be a pit fighter to make money for the family. He narrowly escaped with his life when a group of punks accidently led a group of three robots to a pit fight, during the fight right before his. The entire warehouse they were in came down. Axle only survived because he was in an old shipping container preparing for his fight. He had a mirror in his room that had gotten smashed on his face leaving it scared up.
Personality: Axle is a stand up guy, he will make the tough decisions and will make sacrifices for the good of the group. He is protective, he has lost too much.
-
I like your character Charlie. Unfortunately, the story takes place only one year after the apocalypse. Fix that up, and you're in.
-
Name: Tarsinta "Sin" Ravern
Age: 18
Sex/gender: Female
Equipment: Carries a knife, has a small caliber gun hidden in her arm.
Skills: Scavenging, some short range gunplay, repairs
Weaknesses: Not a great combatant in knife play, hesitant to kill even robots. Not very trusting. Can hunt, but doesn't know what do to with the body after.
Brief description/History: Tarsinta had been a typical bat/cat mix before the accident that'd ruined her chances for a normal life. In the weeks leading up to the take over, bigger and bigger fights had taken place, and Sin had gotten caught in the middle of one of these fights. She'd been so full of lead, the medics that saved her were surprised she wasn't in a hearse with the rest of her family. She was on respirators, IVs, and a heart pump for a week before scientists took an interest in her, faking her death and taking her away to see if AI could be compatible with a living mind. To say the least, it was largely a success.
Sin, without a home left and without family knowing she was still alive, the scientists monitored her for three months before the AI take over. The scientists holding her were killed in the onslaught, but she was taken in as a possible spy by some of the more... enterprising AI units. From then on, she was trained to fight and find dissident AI units and humans.
(I can change this if you'd like. :) )
Personality: Skiddish and untrusting, Sin is quiet and often lonesome. She rarely says much about herself, and when she does, it's often to military people on habit.
-
I like it, Aldrea. Kind of a RoboCop remix, while still jamming with the story. You're in.
-
Thank you. ^_^
-
updated character sheet
-
Fantastic, Charlie, you're in. I like the dystopian underground of the past society.
-
I was thinking on Sin, and a thought came to mind. Could I have her as an early-ish arrival, but not on the same side? Perhaps have her tracking the group down, putting everyone on edge. She'd be a danger to them, and it could kick start the suspense, running from her. Especially since she's silent when she flies and appears completely organic.
-
Axle could be part of the starting group, but like he just met the group not to long ago.
-
That sounds good to me, Aldrea. Definitely good to not drag things out in the beginning.
Charlie, your idea is good, we'll go with that.
-
How big of a group are we going to start with
-
I'd like to get at least one more person, hopefully a military person to fill out my backstory.
-
Seems legit :3

Name: Tiffany "Desert Fox"
Age: 24
Sex/gender: Female
Equipment: Katana and a Steyr AUGSkills: Tiffany or Fox is trained on mid range assault weapons usage as well as martial training in the use of her katana.
Weaknesses: Hot headed, and very aggressive. Prone to outbursts when pushed. Doesn't always think things through.
Brief description/History: As a child Tiffany's father forced her to train in several martial disciplines, including, Aikido,Kendo,and Karate. According to him their family had a long history with the shinobe's of old and he wanted to continue that legacy of training as his father did. When she turned 18 she enlisted in the military, she excelled due to her own personal discipline as well as how she was raised quickly rising though the ranks and proving that she was tougher than most of the other cadets or men at her rank. Soon after teh rebellion she was eventually placed in a squad with Harold quickly developing a friendship with him aswell as continuing to develop her own skills. Tiffany is a grey and black scaled lizard, she is physically small and agile with a tail as long as she is tall and easily blends into the shadows due to her coloring.
Personality: Friendly, but easily aggravated. Extremely disciplined and respectful to leadership.

Uh, Posiden? I hate to point this out, but that's not the character sheet. You're missing a few sections, and I'm not sure if Grrx is going to say yes to that.
-
Aldrea is right. If you can edit your character sheet, and perhaps type a bit more carefully (this is a serious roleplay after all) then I can consider you for the roleplay.

There is no posting order for this roleplay, but I insist that no more posts occur until everyone has had a chance to post at least once.
-
If you don't mind, I'll jump in in a few posts. Just to make sure I don't interrupt the establishing scenes. I'm thinking of having her watch Grrx's character from a distance, but if I don't wait, it'd beg the question why she didn't pick him off or subdue him while he's alone.

...Who's Sam? I don't see a character sheet for the character, or a post here from the RPer. He contact you, Grrx?

Sam jumped in without applying. They're applying now, so that will be fixed, shortly.

Pardon me guys, but I'd like to point this out again. PLEASE, wait for more people to post!

I understand grrx

Hey everyone, hopefully I can still join you all in the Robocalypse!!!
Here’s my character sheet (please tell me what’s right and what’s wrong, it has been quite some time since I role-played):
Name: Jacen Hartog
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Equipment: Fire axe and a small butterfly knife, dressed in black sweater with hood, black t-shirt, a damaged pair of jeans and a dark pair of mountain boots. Has a backpack with a little amount of food and water in it and with a little storage space to spare.
Skills: Sneaking, stealing, running
Weaknesses: Has little muscles/strength in his upper body, and is introvert (e.g. does not speak to anyone quickly and is slow to trust)
Brief description/History: After the Robocalypse, Jacen found himself inside a city destroyed from the inside. With his parents and most of his friends dead, Jacen joined a group of nomads and bandits, which killed and stole to keep themselves alive. When the party is ambushed by robots, every single one of them is murdered, except for Jacen, who hides underneath the bodies of fallen friends. With more luck than wisdom, the robots overlook him and he is able to escape with some meagre supplies and weapons. Now, he is on the run, and in search of food, clean water and shelter.
Personality: Slow to trust, burning hatred towards robots and anything like them, quick to draw conclusions, but can be a loyal friend to anyone he believes deserves it.
And (as can be seen in the History) Jacen comes upon the group in a later stage (probably in another couple of posts or so ;)). And, well, he's probably going to try to do not-so-nice-stuff, so be forewarned! :D
-
Beautiful, Colioli! You are approved.
-
Awesome!!! :D
-
My apologies, Suzumi, but I'm going to have one more post. Then I would please ask that we wait until she posts.
-
Posiden, a word of advice. Scroll down to where Grrx just said to wait for the others.
Also, ICly she hasn't really given any indication of being there. It never hurt a story to leave a character unknown.
-
We'll I didn't leave here unknown someone with battle instincts can sense being watched
-
I'm sorry I didn't mention it to anyone else earlier, but we're hoping that Aldrea's character is not discovered until later in the story.
-
Looks like I **censor** us right
-
It's fine, don't worry about it. You can just edit your post.
-
Look I never openly seem her if she is quiet it's safe to say my character will think it's his imagination I can't think that a battle hardened soldier can't imagine being watched now if she's quiet he could assume it's his imagination see
-
That's true. We could do that too.
-
Because it takes away from his battle instincts which I want prominent in his character
-
cette langue est si difficile!

I think we should pause here for a second, Retinger, or maybe after you've posted one more time, to let the others catch up to us :)
Wouldn't be fair to hold an entire Roleplay between the two of us, without waiting for the others, wouldn't it? XD
-
Ha, Good idea xD I've posted my reply :p I guess we'll wait for the others
-
cette langue est si difficile!
Je suis d'accord, l'anglais est très difficile.
Posts must be either mostly or entirely in english.
Also, Poseidon, please refrain from double posting. There is an edit post option for a reason.
-
Looks good! It will turn out to be a nice confrontation!!! :D
... I really get too happy about being the villain in a roleplay... Oh well! :D
-
Yeah! My original plan was to win over your good side and get you to comfort me, then pounce xD But you're to evil ;_;
-
Not evil, just... realistic! It's the Robocalypse after all! ^_^
... Alright, evil too >:3
-
I like where this is going. I kind of hope that Jacen gets away, then there would be a conflict between Jacen's plan, and Sin's plans.
-
Ritenger and Colioli, it might be a good idea to wait a bit. You can respond to the current post, Coli, but after that, we'd best wait for everyone else to catch up.
-
Yeah, we were getting pretty far ahead XD
-
It gets pretty easy to get ahead when at least two people can respond quickly, and others can't. XD
-
Yeah, I think it's better that me and Ritenger stop in a few posts to wait for others to catch up. ^_^
-
If you would both like to keep going, you could always pm your responses back and forth for a bit, then combine them in a master post. Maybe note it at the top. :)
-
That is... by far not a bad idea! Thanks Aldrea, hadn't thought of that! ^_^
We'll see how that works out tomorrow!
-
That's definitely a good idea.. we may be able to use that later on if we get into a dialogue-heavy piece of the story.
-
^_^ Thanks!
-
Interesting developments :)
-
Indeed! ^_^
I'm wondering what you guys are going to do about it! B)
-
You may have a few more broken ribs, by the end of this. Lol
-
Ow... D:
Oh well, we'll just see about that! ^_^
-
There appears to be some missing in that post.. When exactly did Sam convince Jacen to let her go? The post goes from Sam trying to keep up, to them about to part ways.
-
Yes, i think he copied something wrong here's what he said:
Jacen noticed she kept up well, and he was glad for it. It had been a long time since he had spoken to a human being for more than one minute. He wasn't getting emotionaly attached, he told himself, however, he did begin to enjoy the girl's company a bit."Further through the woos, to the high ground. After that, who knows, if only there is food and shelter."He shrugged. "Then, you can go your own way if you want to. No need for you to stick around after we get away from your friends."
-
"...Woos..." Lol
Woo! :3
-
Probably should have corrected that :P
-
Post corrected, including some typo's on my side ^_^
Sorry guys, too hasty on the editing there ;)
-
Alright, now for goodness sake, let some of the rest of us post XD
-
Indeed! :P
I will wait with continuing until some of you have posted as well! ;)
-
Uhhh, reminder that the RP is ripe and ready to be posted on :D
We've given you time to post, now it's time to post XP
-
Some people are pretty busy in their daily lives.. Give them a chance.
-
I can't follow after that conglomerate in the rp I know this is unrelated but I couldn't help it(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/06/yragagy4.jpg)
-
I'm really not sure what to do to further the story... I don't want to do another assassination attempt so soon after that one, since it'd cheapen the danger of both.
-
I think the RP has died :'(
No one has posted in ages, and me and some others have started and RP.
-
Yea it's dead sadly
-
Excuse me, I must go have a sad.
-
A minute of respectful silence for another dead rp... :(
-
Aww... And the ideas were so good too.
-
Anyone willing to try and salvage this RP, or possibly move onto a new idea?
-
Yes I'm just to lazy to put out another character.
-
Well, we could always get everyone captured. Right now, there's no momentum. Setting them up to have to truly survive could do it. That, or simply have that part be some sort of fever dream, induced by experimentation. It'd allow us to start from scratch.
-
Is this for sure dead? If so, I'd like to reveal what story elements I had in store for everybody.
Elsewise, I'd best not spoil it.
-
Yea it's dead lol
-
It's dead because nobody attempted to continue the story. And because me an Colin sprinted ahead, which probably confused some people.
-
Yeah that probably didn't help either... :S
And we could do as Aldrea suggested, continue the story with a little more momentum, but then it is the question how long we can keep it going, and who of the original group would be willing to join again...
-
I'd be willing to stay. :) I'm just hoping for feedback on what you guys think. Grrx is in charge, so it's up to him, but we could always figure out a plot here and work through it on a new thread.
-
We could literally start a new thread with the same story, like "The Robocalypse: Revived".
-
I'd be all for that. :)
-
Count me in! ;)
And a possible new start might be all of us (maybe except for Aldrea's cyborg) captured and held in a Human Work Camp or a prison or something, and that we all have to escape etc.
Might be a beginning of an idea, I'm just thinking out loud here ^_^
-
Maybe it's the culmination of a lot of planning and waiting and this is. They try to get out, inciting a man hunt while they travel about and gather an army. However, not everyone is as loyal as they thought... ;) >:3
-
Sound like a plan! ^_^
If everyone (and in particular Grrx, as it is his RP) agrees, I think we should revive Robocalypse asap using this storyline (or something similar)! :D
-
It sounds like a good idea to me.. I just have some specific milestones in the story I'd like to have. Aldrea has been made aware of some of these milestones due to her character's unique position as a 'cyborg' of sorts. Also, I'd like to ask if she'd care to be a moderator for this RP, in case I'm not available at the time.
-
I'd be honored. ^_^ Thank you.
