GROUPS:
Neo-Builder: People that want o create new cities, they persecue the Ruiners because they didn't agreed with them, have a great stock of resurses but those are more distribuated for the people with high monetary power, making the other have less than them but still lots more than the Ruiners.

[spoiler='{HQ}'s Character:']
[b]Name: Markus Krest[/b]
[b]Age: 17[/b]
[b]Group: Neo-Builder - Scout[/b]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma,helvetica,arial,sans-serif][size=3][b]Apearence: [/b] [/size][/font][/color][url="http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs51/f/2009/323/f/2/anime_guy_by_FoxHollowMotozaki.jpg"]http://fc05.devianta...lowMotozaki.jpg[/url]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma,helvetica,arial,sans-serif][size=3][b]Bio:[/b] He is the son of a Ruiner and a Neo-Builder, kept as the secret from an error, an affair. His mother, a Ruiner, kept him from knowing about his father, but she got terribly sick, and she told Markus his father's whereabouts on her deathbed. While traveling to the Neo-Builder's city, he was shot multiple times on his right arm by the Neo-Builders, rendering it useless. He was held captive, until they heard that he was the son of a Neo-Builder, that had unfortunately been recently killed in a raid. Markus was offered the job as a scout for the Neo-Builders, replacing his right arm for his Bio Mech and giving him a wing Bio Mech to soar the sky, and to serve as Air Patrol.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma,helvetica,arial,sans-serif][size=3][b]Personality:[/b] He is a calm pony, who feels that Ruiners shouldn't be persecuted as they are. He tries not to shoot if not necessary, but he will shoot an endless rain of bullets, even without aiming, trying to protect the ponies he cares about because he feels he couldn't do it in the past, with his parents. If he feels safe with somepony, he will open up to them and protect them.[/size][/font][/color]

[b]Bio Mechs: Right arm and shoulder, back, right eye.[/b]

[b]Bio Mech Apearence: [/b]
[b][font=tahoma,helvetica,arial,sans-serif][color=#5A5A5A][size=3]The Bio Mech on his right arm is an entire silver arm that can become a sniper rifle mounted on his arm with no cross hair. Also, on his right shoulder, he has a small mortar for artillery purposes. It's too small since it must be aerodynamic, so it can't cause real damage. If fired on flight, stability might be lost. [/size][/color][/font][/b]
[b]The one on his back are two silver wings, that are small while not in use (picture) and widen when in flight. They have a small engine to fly up, but is mainly used to glide[/b].
[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma,helvetica,arial,sans-serif][size=3][b]The one on his right eye is not technically a Bio Mech, but a small device that Markus uses instead of a cross hair on his guns. It is an earpiece that covers the right ear and a red piece of glass that covers the right eye. It has a small screen that shows targets, a cross hair for using the sniper rifle and a display of the distance of every target available and probability of success. It also controls the mortar on the right shoulder by voice command. (Resembles a Dragon Ball Z "Scouter")[/b][/size][/font][/color]



[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma,helvetica,arial,sans-serif][size=3][b]He also carries a rusty revolver from old times. It takes a while to load, and can only carry 6 bullets at a time. (Current time weapon)[/b][/size][/font][/color]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler='Vairocana's Character:']
[b]Name:[/b] Kristof Melenski
[b]Age:[/b] 38
[b]Group:[/b] Ruiners
Apearence: He's around 6 feet tall, but he hunches/slouches normally, making him seem shorter than he is. His hair is pure gray, a wild tangled mess that he doesn't bother to care for. It extends to around the base of his neck and sticks up. He has a matching beard that hangs about mid-neck. There are occasionally sticks or leaves stuck in there. He has dark brown eyes and a sharp hooked nose. While the rest of him looks incredibly unkept, he has perfect teeth. He wears a massive gray cloak that covers him completely. He carries a backpack under it, which makes him look, at first glance, extremely bulky/almost circular. Under the cloak, he weras a combination of bits of clothe and animal hides he has sewn together, giving it a very patchwork look (although once you get past the intital appearance, it is very well made). He carries a large wooden staff.

Bio: He had been a successful businessman before the chain of events that brought about this hellish future. He had lost everything, his home, his wife, and his newborn son. Once kind and idealistic, he has become bitter and jaded by what humanity can do. He feels that humankind deserves to live in ruin, suffering for their transgressions.

Personality: He's gruff and cynical. He doesn't trust any humans, although he's built relationships with trees and animals (albeit, very one-sided relationships). He treats everyone he meets with hostility. Underneath all the cynicism and anger, he is still a good person, and can't standby while something he considers unjust happens before him. He has a soft spot for children, although he won't admit to it.

[b]Bio Mechs:[/b] He doesn't trust biomechs, but he was in a car accident some years ago that left him with massive internal damage. The doctors implanted biomechs with his wife's consent. His heart, lungs, and several muscles in his arms and legs are augmented by internal biomechs. These allow him greater endurance and agility than even exceptional atheletes, and the biomech lungs allow him to deal with mild levels of poison. Outwardly, his right hand had to be completely replaced. The hand is a dull silver and he wears a glove to hide it. It has no weapon augments other than considerable strength (he can crush steel easily). In order to defend himself, he designed a handgun with destructively powerful force. A normal man firing it would shatter every bone in his arm from the recoil. The biomech hand and enhanced arm muscles allow him to use it with ease.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler="Ketodama's Character:"]
[b]Name:[/b] John Blackmoore

[b]Age:[/b] 27

[b]Group:[/b] Ruiner Mech Smith
[spoiler=Appearance:][img]http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w339/Kiokama/RPCs/12.jpg[/img][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Bio:] At first, John was born the son of Alexander and Melissa Blackmoore, both members of a respected family amongst the Neo-Builders. It was from his father that he first learned to build Bio Mechs, and at the age of fifteen he joined the family business from which his training had been wrought. He spent the next ten years working alongside his father in the business, proving again and again his incredible proficiency with machinery. During that time, he began to work on a project of his own. After those ten years, he had completed the project and chose to test it. The project was a fully mechanized suit of armor equipped with in-built weapons. He impressed a great deal of people with it, and went out on a mission to do battle with the Ruiners. Unfortunately, his suit was struck by a rocket triggering an explosion of both the rocket itself and his suit's power plant. The group he was with was forced to retreat from the explosion, and John was left for dead in the wastes. He crawled, burned over most of his body, from the wreckage of his battlesuit and started to crawl. He was found, unconscious and barely alive, by the Ruiners themselves and they took him in. He awakened some time later, wrapped from head to toe in bandages and burned over the whole of his body. He was well cared for, and when he recovered enough to function on his own he fell in with the ruiners out of gratitude for his life and anger that he had been abandoned. Having already built a suit before, it took him merely two years to take what remained of his own suit and what components could be scavenged to produce a new one. Through seeing the skill with which he built such an elaborate bio-mech, the other Ruiners came to respect him and have frequently asked him to produce such things for themselves.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Personality:] Blackmoore is devoted to his friends to a fault, and will do anything to protect them from any foe. Aside from that, he has an affinity for machines that makes him one of them most strangely viewed members of the Ruiners. This Affinity goes beyond normal skill, in that he actually seems to believe that each and every machine has a personality to itself and he can be found speaking to his creations at times. If anyone happens to make him their foe, they are likely to find out that John Blackmoore is the last person you want angry with you as he will stop at nothing to destroy them.[/spoiler]

[b]Bio Mechs:[/b] Full body suit, named "Infernus"

[b]Bio Mech Appearance:[/b] Infernus is full suit of armor which, when worn, covers John without leaving a single gap open to attack. The metal plating is 3/4" of an allow of Iron and Titanium and is in near perfect condition, despite the rusted appearance featured on the outside. The metal has been shaped to maximize aerodynamics without giving it an overly rounded appearance. Beneath the exterior plating, Infernus is a conglomeration of various components meant to act as enhancements for its operator's own muscles allowing for faster movement and greater strength. Installed directly into the back plates, and keeping with the general theme of the appearance, are a set of three thrusters meant to allow for short range "hops" via propulsion. On the upper-portion of each forearm a pair of curved, triangular spikes emerged and jut forward over the hands. These spikes are energized, allowing them to cut through most materials with ease. The most shocking piece of equipment on Infernus, as well as the most devastating, are a pair of small circular forward-facing openings along the underside of the forearms. These are Blackmoore's signature weapon system known as Plasma Incinerators, and are capable of unleashing focused beams of super-heated plasma up to seventy yards away or conical swaths of the same substance at a maximum range of twenty yards.

[spoiler='Deckard Randolp:']
Name: Deckard Randolph

Age: 97

Group: Supports the neobuilders but doesn't actually work with them. (neither side is hostile towards this man)

Appearance: Fragile old man who doesn't go very far. Half blind and Half deaf. Always wearing his spectacles on his eyes as he cant see at all without them. He usually wears a robe and a cloak in the winter and sometimes in the summer too on the cool days. He is 5 '9 tall and weighs roughly 135 pounds. The man is also not on medication and is just lucky, so he is near death.

Personality and Bio: Very wise, The knowledge that this man has to offer is respected by all the neobuilders that live near him. He is very friendly toward strangers and pretty much anyone that doesn't harm or steal things from him. He is always there to answer questions that most would not know since he lived as a boy before the world was in ruins. He lives in an old cabin in one of the old forests close to where the neobuilders are working but in ruiner territory, no one actually lives close to him however. The nearest spot of civilization is about 3 miles away from where he lives. So for neobuilders to visit him, they must cross over into the ruiner territory. If someone were to take care of him he would live much longer. His knowledge could be valuable to many people. Not much is known about his past by others but he is always willing to share.

Bio-mechs - this man always wanted a biomech to improve his senses and strength but could never afford one sadly as he is a poor man.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler='MT-TBO3:']
Name: Machine type TBO3 (Trusted BOT of Orginazation)

Age: 20 years

Group : N/A

Appearance: A humanoid shaped robot made to serve humans, collect resources and defend homes and plantations. Made of mostly iron and copper alloy along with other rare various metals not even found on the periodic chart of elements. Not very destructive itself, but virtually indestructible because of those rare metals. Only TBO3 has these rare metals, the others do not.

Personality: This robot doesn't actually have a personality but will serve decard and only decard. Some actually do think the TBO's have personalities because of their artificial intelligence created to help others.

Bio: 20 years ago decard randolph was given a robot to take care of him by his son who had built it himself, because his son would be leaving. 3 years after that event his son was murdered, leaving him with this robot as his only company as he was widowed. The robot broke down this year and was put in dekards wine cellar (which doesn't actually have any wine anymore but is still called that by deckard) along with TBO1 and TBO2. TBO1 was a prototype that miserably failed and was shut down as it was to destructive and almost killed 3 people. TBO2 was a great success as it served as a great builder of structures but it was destroyed in an explosion and its parts are lying around in the wine cellar. TBO3 just has a malfunction and if fixed correctly can take care of deckard randolph. All of the TBO's basically look the same just with different types of artificial intelligence.

Biomechs: The whole things a biomech.

[spoiler='Dark Heart's Character:']
[spoiler='Aphrodite']
[b]Name:[/b] Aphrodite (Nicknames: Phro, Dite, Aph, Ro etc.)
[b]Age:[/b] 18
[b]Group:[/b] Ruiners
[Spoiler=[b]Appearance[/b]]

[img]http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k594/one_stop_editz/Anime%20Originals%201/l_451c15a80ddb4fd395041891632180b9.jpg[/img][/spoiler]
[b]Bio:[/b]
Being born in a time of fighting is hard enough on its own, let alone being the child of two parents from the different factions. Phro's parents loved each other dearly even though they were meant to fight against each other, sadly this lead to their deaths. At the age of 14 both her perents were excuted, due to the betrayal of 'their' kind. Infact the last she saw her parents was when they had told her to run into the forest she then saw was her parents fighting a group of 20 men, they stood no chance. With that she turned and ran. Due to her age her physique and agility is of a very high standard.

After that night of horror she headed to a ruin, that her father had shown her, knowing full well that there would be ruiners camping out there, from the day she arrived she has been training in the art of ranged weaponry, however she will be able to use a sword if she needed. one night, at the age of 16, the ruiners had obtained various bio-mechs, two bio-mechs caught her eye, a 'Shimmer' and a 'Variava' (both explained later). The gang who had taken her in were very organised and had a very strict training schedule, which consisted of freerunning practice (with help of the ruins and the trees) and various martial art sessions. In fact it seemed like there was an individual teacher for each battle technique.

[b]Personality:[/b]
She was named after teh goddess of love for a reason, but under her beautiful exterior she is a fighting machine (not literally!). She takes time formulating plans and battle strategies, and more often than not her plans succeed. Sometimes if it is necessary she would use her pretty face to trick or manipulate other people. On the downside she tends not to want to kill and often this would let her down in a time of battle.

[b]Bio Mechs:[/b] Shimmer, the shimmer makes her body particles vibrate at such a speed that the human eye cannot keep up with her making her seem invisible but this takes a lot of focus and can cause her pain so she can't use it constantly, also people with eye biomechs can pick out a thin haze of air around her making it almost ineffective. To the Human eye you have to focus extemely hard to catch the haze.
The Variava, the Variava is as much of a weapon as it is a perk, it allows her to manipulate her ranged weapon's and projectiles to become effective on the individual she is aiming at, it also allows her to make a, visable, enemy ranged weapon/projectile in affectivce against her, however again this takes a lot of energy so she tries to avoid using it unless she has to.
[b]Bio Mech Apearence:[/b]
The Shimmer, when not in use, appears as a silver circlular plate on her chest and back.
The Variavam, resembles little more then an iron gauntlet that goes from her wrist down, on her throwing arm/ shooting arm.

STARTING POSTS:

Joshua(Neo-Builder):

It was around 5 PM, the sky was all cloudy and dark, it was about to rain, and would be a heavy storm, a young man was standing at the edge of the Neo-Builders' area with the Ruiner's Area, he was at a calmer spot, where there was no one else around, that place where he was standing, is the place where there was an accident a few years before, the accident that cost his brother's life and his limbs. He looked to his mechanical arm, the one which held his spear inside, he clunched it in a fist and punched a left-over of a wall that was close to him. The concrete wall was brokens into pieces, and his arms was still intact, he sighed and looked to where he had last seen his brother alive, the wind was blowing on his hair. Sudenly a spear sticked out of his right arm and detached itself, he quickly hold it with his left hand and got into stance. But was interupted by a loud noise of some kind of weapon comign from behind him.

Jonathan(Ruiner):
A man in a long coat and with a dark hair was leaning agaisn't a wall, he was staring up to that dark cloudy sky, the street around him was filled with people walking around form place to place, that was one of the most problematic areas of the ruins, when there was a heavy storm it could get flooded, the Ruin's Gang job is to keep teh people from the ruins safe, "No matter who they might be, they are still our people." that was their saying, the man in a long coat was paying attention not only to the sky, but also for the people, if somethign went wrong, he would help. Sudenly he heard a scream and heard she sound of rocks moving, he looked tot he other side of tha street, and saw that there was a big boulder that fell out from one of the older buildings and it was going to hit some people that couldn't leave. The man ran and leaped to reach for the rock, he landed on the middle of those people, and said in a deep voice "Duck." When the rock was about to hit them he streeched his right arm up and held it in possition, it didn't looked like heavy weight at all for him, with his left hand he unsheeted his claymore sword. It was in a flash, he trew the rock upwards and jumped right after it, held his sword with both hands and slashed the rock into several small pieces that wouldn't hurt anyone. He landed on his feet back from where he jumped, he got up on his feet and put his sword back on it's sheet, while the people sighed relieved and happy that someone from the Gang was there for them, the man walked away silently, once again looking at the dark cloudy sky.


(Interactions can be done from this point already, but only with characters which has already done a first post.)

Markus (Neo-Builder):

It was the afternoon, maybe 5 PM, and black clouds were forming in the dark sky, omen of a thunderstorm approaching. A young man was overflying the Neo-Builder's city, with wings like those of Icarus yet made of metal, soaring with the swiftness of a bird born in sky. He stopped over a deserted building to rest, and his wings retracted into his back. Markus was tired from flying all day, but he had been bored lately. Flying was the only thing that calmed him...well, that and shooting. With these thoughts on his head, he stretched his mechanic right arm and pointed it downwards. The arm opened, releasing a big sniper rifle, yet with no visible cross hair. He aimed at the ground, searching for a target. At the distance, he heard a collapse, like an...explosion? He turned and saw a young man, punching a wall with his fist. Markus recognized him as Joshua, a friend of him.

[color=#daa520][i]"This is gonna be fun..."[/i][/color] - Markus pointed his rifle at the ground behind Joshua and shot, startling him - [i][color=#daa520]"Sup, man! Over here!"[/color][/i]

Stewart Beckenwood:* A tall man is seen near his cabin in the dismal swamps throwing a kind of seed into a what seems to look like a giant Venus fly trap, as it lands inside the monstrosity starts to gargle his spit which seems to be dissolving it from the inside out.*

"HAHA! I DID IT! Finally a poison to get rid of these carnivorous plants of the dismal swamp, but i wonder how many there are now, with the willow wisps failing, this place is still far to dangerous for anyone to explore, ill need help to clean it up. It use to be one of the main passage ways through the forest until the tragedy, and more importantly now the war between the runners and neo builders." "I might as well head back home and continue my research, ill look for some to help me with my needs another time." [Being a hermit of sorts, Stewart always talks to himself, he says it helps him think]

Cut to: Deckard Randolphs cabin, out of dismal swamps but somewhat nearby.

* Deckard walks into his kitchen which is near the main entrance of the house on the opposite side of the wine cellar entrance which is blocked from view by the bathroom, he grabs a glass of water from his refrigerator, sits down in a chair next to the dining table in the middle of the kitchen and begins to think.

Deckard's Thoughts " hmmmm, i wonder, how long this will all continue, i just want it to be over, i really don't care what side remains supreme or whatever kind of thing they are fighting over, if only it would not continue any longer, id give my life to end wars, but id never give my life to fight in and prolong one, which is what they're all doing.

[Gabriel Maeso]

Joshua:
Joshua heard a shot hitting the ground behind him out fo nowhere, a clear warning shot, but when it was heard by him his spine got completely straigthen and his hair kinda that pointed up, when he heard the voice callign him he grinned in a somewhat angry and laughing expression as he turned around, he left eye was open wide and there was a X shaped vein poped on his skin, he slowly muttered to himself as he looked up "[color=#0000FF]Th-that. That son-of-a!!![/color]" sudently he turneds completely and shouted at Markus while he reaged out and weaved his spear like a mad man "[color=#0000FF]HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU TO NOT DO THAT??!!!![/color]" Joshua started running and then when was at the base of where Markus were, he crounched for an instant, his legs prepared for a high jump, it was verys trong, at the moment he was shoot out of the ground a cloud of dust was formed. He fell right in front of Markus, he looked very angry, he raised his right hand and his shadow was projected over Markus, Joshua lowered his hand like if he was going to strike Markus on the head, but at teh last moemnt he stoped in front of him as if he was proposing a handshake and asked with a grined smiled "[color=#0000FF]Hey man. Sup?[/color]"

[i]In and Out, In and Out [/i]Aphrodite, or Phro as she was known at her tribe, told herself. She closed her eyes then opened them [i]Rember keep breathing, in and out.[/i] Though she was adept at hunting she went through the same process everytime she found a target. She pulled back the bow's string until she could feel it pressed against her cheek. She studied the target, a lone pig it could last the tribe an entire week, if they were careful that was. She decided it wasn't worth the energy to manipulate her arrow so with a final [i]in and out[/i] she released the string. The pig instantly fell to the ground in a muffled clunk of course that kind of happens if you get an arrow to your forehead. She lowered the weapon and strung it around her body and quickly ran to the pig, though she was one of the deadliest of creatures in the forest she wasn't the largest and so didnt want to risk her kill being taken, she knelt down beside the pig and removed the arrow.
"[color=#008000]Thank you[/color]" she said to the pig knowing it wouldn't mean much now. She rapped the pig up in some fabric that she had taken from the tribe and dragged it back to camp. She wasn't strong but she was so used to this activity that she didn't think much of it.

Phro wasn't aware of the weather until she had returned to the camp, only then did she recognise the pitter patter of rain on her robe. She took her kill to the main store house and left it there for the camp's chef to share out evenly tomorrow at dinner. She left the old building which must have been what was called a supermarket before and noticed that the streets were clear, this tended to happen in a time of foul weather, but not Phro. She welcomed the rain with open arms, it was the only type of pure water that she could ever have. further more she didn't actually live in a 'house', more like a tent, in the camp she refused to, she was the type who enjoyed to be alone. She left the camp and on the border found her favorite tree, long story short her parents often took her there, she climbed it and attached herself to one of the branches with a rope the tree leaves provided enough shelter from the rain, she closed her eyes and decided to have a sleep, when she was woken but what she could swear to be a gunshot, instinctivly she atcivated her shimmer but then decided no one could find her in the tree, her tree. so she deactivated the shimmer and returned to sleep.

Markus:

[color=#daa520][i]"Wow, don't freak out!"[/i][/color] - said Markus, as he saw Joshua running with his spear at him - [i][color=#daa520]"Dude, it was a joke..."[/color][/i] - Markus hid his rifle in his arm, and shook Joshua's hand strongly - [color=#daa520][i]"Nice jump by the way, what were you doing back there? I just finished my afternoon patrol, and it looks like it's about to rain too..."[/i][/color]- he pointed at the now black sky, threatening to start a storm at any moment - [i][color=#daa520]"We should go under a roof for the storm..."[/color][/i]

[Gabriel Maeso]

Jonathan:
Jonathan walked by that street more, avoiding to interrupt people and also keeping an eye on everyone. out of sudden, his phone started ringing, he picked it up and said "[color=#B22222]"5" Speaking.[/color]" the voice on the other side responded "[color=#008000]Jonathan, we have tracked a concentration of Ruiners that might be in danger on this storm, "7" spotted someone that has high skills among them, but might not have enough experience, I will send someone to cover you, you go to that camp, I will sned you the cordinates right away.[/color]" Jonathan just noded wiht his ehd adn said quickly "[color=#B22222]Understood, moving on now.[/color]" He ended the call and got a message, it was the cordinates that the voice said he would be getting. He put his phone back on his pocket and rushed towards his objective. As he quickly got to the camp's entrace he fastly scaned the place with his Mech-Eye, he heard a drop sound next to his ear, he looked at his shoulder and there was a rain drop stain on his coat, he then muttered "[color=#B22222]Great... I will have to work under the storm...[/color]"


Joshua:
Joshua sighed and sat on the floor across his friend, he reatached his spear and it got back into it's "hidden form", he put his ahdns behind his head and said "[color=#0000FF]It was right there...that the accident happened.[/color]" he said looking down to where he was standing before, "[color=#0000FF]You know about that accident don't you Markus?[/color]" Joshua patted his right arm with his hand and said while he changed his look to Markus "[color=#0000FF]The one that took my limbs...and my brother...[/color]" Joshua then saw that a few water drops started falling.

Sitting in a tree out side town listening in to all the comotion of the city, "I hate people." omega scoffs, sometimes i wish i can make them all machanical drones"

"omega, you dont seem to mind me why do you hate others so?" alpha sits right above him scopeing for coustomers, she looks through the binoculars in her biomechand searches the exits to the city.

"your a whole new field..." he lifts himself to the branch she's on and scoops her up in his arms, "your like me"

she whaks him over the head with her metal arm, "down boy, seirously this branch can't hold us both for long." she grabs the trunk and slides down, "two possible coustomers at two o'clock".

omega looks to his watch, "but it's five....and they're right there" he jumps down smashing the paved roadway that leaves the city. "lets see if they'll buy upgrades or new weapons."

Stewart Beckenwood: "Ahhh... The rain... The time the carnivorous plants settle down, during this storm i can safely travel travel out of the dismal swamps, hmmmm.... what to take.... I don't know, ill just go empty handed. Off we go!"

*Stewart starts heading to the exit of the dismal swamps toward the direction of the neobuilders, But instead cuts through a side path into the forest which is ouside of the dismal swamps, bypassing deckard randolph, but leading him to the neobuilders camp faster. As he reaches the nuibuilders camp he sees two boys around 20 of age talking about some kind of accident, after a small fight.

Stewart Beckenwood: " Ummm... Hello there! Do you know anyone that i can hire for assistance in dangerous jobs?"

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Just inside of the Ruiner encampment into which Jonathon had entered, there was a young man clad in a white cloth hooded shirt which bore armor plating on the inside of the shoulders. His face was mostly wrapped in bandages, exposing nothing below the top of his nose. John Blackmoore stood in the rain which was slowly building to a furious downpour, his left hand bare to the world and displaying the horrific scars from the burns he had suffered so long ago. His right arm, rather than being covered in the white cloth of his shirt, bore the armor plating and arm-based weapon systems of the Infernus Bio-Mech suit which had made him legendary amongst the Ruiners.

[color=#008000]"Didn't think I'd be seein' ya here Jonathon,"[/color] came the Mech Smith's greeting to the swordsman as he approached [color=#008000]"Or would ya prefer if I called ya '5' like yer gangster friends?" [/color]As if finding something funny about his own statement, Blackmoore began a hearty chuckle before he was forced to stop from a coughing fit as the laughter agitated an old injury bearing the same source as his burns. He got it under control very quickly and rose out of the slight bend that coughing had put in his back to return his gaze to the other man.

[Gabriel Maeso]

Jonathan:
Jonathan turned his head to the man in bandages and then in a exhale he closed his eyes and looked foward once again, and following he said "[color=#B22222]Blackmoore. I could say the exact same thing, but I got no time, i am here followign orders, and since you know our sayings and me so well as you claim, you know I put my work in the first place.[/color]" Jonathan then saw that a few more drops were falling, his mechanized eye did a quick scan on the clouds, he then turned again to Blackmoore and said "[color=#B22222]This won't be any normal storm and won't take long to fall. So you better tell everyone to trust me now and run for the safest place you got here.[/color]" Jonathan then looked to an amount of people that were close, they looked kinda sacred or just unsure about his arival, turning again to Blackmoore, he finished "[color=#B22222]And call me whatever you want, I probably won't be staying here to long anyway[/color]".

[Agaming]

Phro opened her eyes slowly, not worrying about any threats as she knew very well that hardly any creatures in this side of the forest could climb trees. An those that can wouldn't inflict any pain. She got up and started to climb to the top of the tree, when she broke the canopy she sighed 'weather seems the same. Guess i should be heading back...' She ducked back down below the canopy and jumped, rather than climbed, her way to the ground. She hit the ground with such silence that not even a bat would hear it.
She took her hour long walk back to her tribe, when she arrived she noticed that many of the clan members were out looking worried. She overheard two men speak [color="#b22222"] 'So you better tell everyone to trust me now and run for the safest place you got here...'[/color]
[color=#008000]'Why should we trust you?' [/color]She turned and faced a few of the people who had gathered around the to men and her [color=#008000]'However, this man has a point, head to shelter this storm doesn't seem right' [/color]With that some people turned, reluctanly, and returned to their houses. But quite a few remained, she turned to the men and gave them a look telling them [i]are you here to help or get in my way?[/i] She then turned to a tree only a couple meters from the center of the tribe and climbed it where she just sat fidling with her bow and her throwing knives.

[Gabriel Maeso]

Jonathan looked over to the girl for a moment, his mech-eye did a quick scan on her, his eye finished the scan and he said "[color=#B22222]Hmmm...Stop playing with those things girl. [/color][color=#B22222]I just came to help,[/color][color=#B22222] I'm not here to fight anyone...[/color]" Jonathan then weaved his coat, exposing his sword's handle and said "[color=#B22222]...Even though I can fight, that's not my objective. But you seem to have quite a strong word around here.[/color]" Jonathan then covered his sword again and looked around, he turned to the girl again and said "[color=#B22222]Well, first, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Jonathan, and after I get everyone from here into a safe place, I would like a meeting with the chief of this camp if possible.[/color]" He was serious and had his eyes were meeting hers at every word he said.

[Agaming]

'[color=#008000]We don't really have a chief here, every does what they want, but i suppose to some extent i'm kinda the chief here[/color]' Phro said turning her head just enough to make it audible to Jonathan. She then continued to walk to her favorite tree. Just as she was about to climb her tree a wild boar caught her eye, almost to fast for any human she unwrapped her bow loaded an arrow and let one loose in a matter of seconds. She smilled a smug smile at herself [i]congrats[/i] she said to herself [i]New record[/i][i]![/i] She couldn't be bothered to transport it back to the main food storage so she found a cavern and hid the boar there to pick up in the morning. satisfied that she hid it well enough she returned to her tree and climbed it into a little house made of wood that is too well cammoflauged to be seen from the ground. She jumped on her bed, which in all honsety was leather stretched over wooden planks, and examined her knives. Though she could use her mech to make it more effective she continued to sharpen it so she wouldn't need to use her mech as it makes her exhausted by using it. Then she unslung her bow and studied it for any damages, there were none not like there was going to be. After all her checks had been completed she decided to lie on her bed, not to sleep just to relax.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

While Phro had begun to relax and Jonathan attempted to ascertain the location of the chief, Blackmoore was at work organizing the evacuation of the lower ruins. Those about him grabbed whatever they could carry and whatever they wanted to save before making their way up into the hills above, where the scrapyard, in which Blackmoore made his home, was located. There was more than enough room for them all to set up temporary shelters in the forms of tents and shanties built from the surrounding scrap. Blackmoore himself, however, was staying behind in the ruins for the time being to ensure that everyone who could got out. All the while the storm was gathering strength and the rain began to pick up. The first crack of thunder shot through the darkening sky, the lightning not visible for the moment. His thoughts quickly turned to Phro, and he ran through the ruins towards the tree into which she had vanished earlier.

[color=#008000]"Prho, phro come on!" [/color]He shouted, pounding on the trunk of the tree to try and get her attention. [color=#008000]"Lass, a tree's the last place that ya wanna be. This isn't gonna be any normal thunder storm!" [/color]He continued pounding on the tree trunk to hopefully get her attention. As if to punctuate his pleading cries, lightning struck within view and was followed by a crack of thunder louder than the first. A wall of heavy rain was steadily approaching, shrouding everything within its bounds in darkness.

[Gabriel Maeso]

Jonathan:
Jonathan was looking up to teh clouds, the storm was starting tog et threatening more each second. He scanned the sky as fast as he could, waching trough the clouds to see if he could find ou wehre the next lightinings would struck, after the second one he noticed that it had a small calm somwhere before the hit, he searched around the clouds for the next calm. Jonathan out fo teh sudden turned to Blackmoore and shouted "[color=#B22222]GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THAT TREE![/color]" Jonathan then jumped in the place where Phro was and grabbed her with his non mechanic arm and to make sure she would be safe he trew her out fo there first saying "[color=#B22222]Sorry for this, lady.[/color]", when he was about to jump out of there, a strong slighting struck the tree, passing my it completely burning it, Jonathan jumped out enough to get his flesh body out, but his right arm was severely damaged. When he fell on the floor wiht his left hand holding at his mechanized arm, the lightinign caused small explosions on it's surface and highly burned it's internal systems, it was letting out small lightining sparks and Jonathan was suffering in pain and agony, he turned his head for Blackmoore as the rain got more intense and shouted "[color=#B22222]GET THE ONES WHO ARE STILL OUT OF THE SHELTERS AND GET THEM SAFE! THAT'S THE PRIORITY![/color]" He turned his sight for Phro and shouted loud "[color=#B22222]AND YOU DON'T GET JUST STANDING THERE! HELP HIM![/color]" he was shoutign from the lightining strike, it was very close to him so his hearing would be blocked for a while, and even though he was enduring such pain, he was still wiht his mind set on his objective.

Joshua:
Joshua turned around to see a weird man, it was Stewart. Joshua was about to answer the man, but the rain drops started getting faster and stronger, they feel harder and more each second. Joshua turned himself to the man and said "[color=#0000FF]Sir, I would gladly help you at your work, but this rain won't let us get anywhere, we gotta go to a safe place and wait first.[/color]" Joshua then truend to his frined adn pointed at a shelter not far away and said "[color=#0000FF]We can hide there...[/color]" he was about to continue, but sudenly a strong lightining struck not far from them, Joshua's skin got pale and he said louder "[color=#0000FF]...WE GOTTA RUN THERE![/color]" as soon as he finished those words, he got up and started to jump donw to smaller old buildings to get to that shaft.

[poinl]

Stewart began following Joshua into the shelter, right behind him, making haste. More lightning stuck in various places. When they reached the shelter, Stewart began to speak.

'You don't understand! We cant wait! The only reason i set more than 50 feet beyond my home was because it was raining, its the only time the carnivorous plants are inactive, and when the willow wisps deactivate themselves to avoid short circuiting! Look, i can only make safe travel through the dismal swamps during rain, if i knew it was going to be this harsh i wouldn't have came. Seems like i'm sticking with you for awhile. Sadly i didn't bring anything with me since i didn't foresee that i would be stuck here. Avoiding this storm shouldn't be my worries or yours if your going with me, the fact that the dismal swamps will be "active" again could be the problem, however it was what I needed you to help me with. Never mind, i'm rambling now. I'll tell you my dilemma after this storm blows through. Until then, whats there to do? Anything I could help with?

[Agaming]

Usually, one would expect to be slightly dazed or confused after being pulled out of a tree, but after years of experience Phro was hardly effected by it. She got up, not enjoying being shouted at, and headed towards the main tribe to help scoop people into safe hands. She ran extreamely fast, the first thing she noticed was a variety of screams many from children. [color=#008000]'I told you all to go into shelter!'[/color] she whispered to herself. she slowed down to a gentle jog checking all the backstreets. She closed in to one of the screams to find a child lying on the cobble stone floor clutching her knee, Phro kneeled down next to her [color=#008000]'Hello there, do you know where your mummy or daddy is?'[/color]
'They went home, i was meant to follow but i got stopped' she replied
[color=#008000]'Can you take me there?' [/color]Phro said [color=#008000]' to your parents?'[/color]
'Yes of course'
only then did phro realise that her leg was seriously burnt, [color=#008000]'your a brave little one aren't you? I need to be very brave now okay?'[/color]
'okay, miss' with that Phro liften the girl in to a fireman hold over her shoulder and followed the dirrections given by the girl, Phro placed the girl in her parents arms and said '[color=#008000]you should go to the doctor'[/color]. They nodded obediently. Phro turned and made one final check around, no one[color=#008000] [i]the other ones must have found some people[/i][/color][color=#FFD700].[/color] She sat down in a cave for a bit until she noticed that she felt lighter than she usually does '[color=#008000]My bow! Where's my bow?[/color]' she jumped to her feet and headed back to her makeshift house, to her relief the bow and all her weapons remained un-touched by the flames that were engulfing the tree, she took them and anything else she could scavenge and returned back to the tribe to find Jonathan and the other person who she hasn't introduced herself to.

[Durandamon]

[color=#daa520][i]Dude wait up![/i][/color] - Markus had to start his engine to keep up with Joshua's speed. With the storm raging, it was hard to fly very high - [i][color=#daa520]W-where are we going!? [/color][/i]-.Lighting was striking really near, and Markus could barely fly with the wind that strong. He reached the shelter, but collapsed for flying too low - [color=#daa520][i]"Ugh...really?"[/i][/color] - said Markus, as he hid his wings into his back. He then looked at Stewart- [i][color=#daa520]"If you really, really need to get there, I suppose we could go. What do you say, Joshua?" [/color][/i]

[Asriel Dreemurr]

The sudden strike of lightning on the tree, despite the warning he had received from Jonathan, had sent Blackmoore sprawling to the ground in a daze from which it took him a while to recover. He did manage to eventually pull himself to his feet and, after a quick shake of the head, regain his bearings. He looked about and saw Jonathan nearby, before he fell into another coughing fit. Fortunately it was a brief one, and soon he had set off towards the hills, in which the others were gathering and his home was located, with a gesture for the other man to follow him.

It took only a few minutes to reach the scrapyard, within which the ingenuity of the Ruiners was already apparent. All around people were building shelters to keep the rain off with pieces of material, and strangely very few of them were afraid. Blackmoore soon reached a door into one of the many mountainous heaps of scrap and stepped inside, leaving the door open for Jonathan to follow. Within was a well built shelter completely protected from the elements. In the room connected to by the door, there was a simple collection of chairs, a table, and one couch that had seen better days. Out from this room two hallways extended, both cut off half-way down by doors preventing their contents from being seen. Blackmoore simply slid the armored gauntlet from his forearm and set it on the table before laying himself down on the couch whilst keeping his hood up.

[Great&PowerfulTrixie]

Hunkering down in their tent Omega and Alpha listen to the storm rage.

"I hate rain" he scoffs at the sounds of the storm.

"You hate everything."she sips tea.

"i dont hate you." he looks at her softly, then looks at the tea in front of him, "i hate hot tea."

"well one thing." she keeps her eyes closed.

"Alpha, do you wanna head to shelter", he looks around the tent. "it may get rough here"

[Gabriel Maeso]

Jonathan:
Even with his arm seriously damaged and due to the strike his skelleton wasn't responding correctly and his eye wasn't stable, Jonathan went to search for more people that were still in danger, he didn't noticed that Phro was close by him. He tried to rush aorund the palce to find someone, after a quick searchhe conclued taht everyone were safe, in exception for himself, he stoped close to where Phro's house was before adn said is gasps "[color=#A52A2A]Mission...Acomplished...Now wait for the end and...make a damage report.[/color]" His mech inner body was starting to stop functionating, he tried to step towards Blackmoore's hut, but his leg didn't hold hima dn he fell on the ground, he needed to get to the shelter, however his only way to move was going to be by overloading his muscles, it could cost him much, but he needed to get to the safety. Unsheeting his sword he managed to in an extreme pain to get on his knees,a dn sued his sword as a cane to stand up, he started to try to barely walk towards the shelter.

Joshua:
Joshua leaned agaisn't a wall and sighed loud, he then lookt o his friend adn the toher man, and asked "[color=#0000FF]Which is the fastest way to get to where you need us sir?[/color]" Joshua was unlikely diferent, he was very nervous, but was trying to hold it, that place wasn't a palce of good memories for him.

*Stewart exchanges glances with Joshua, and begins to speak*

Stewart: "Are you sure we can travel in this weather? I don't think its ever been this bad. Wait josh! I Have something more important for you to do. I have a friend, an old friend, in his nineties, he lives next to a creek that could over flow in this kind of weather. Could you do me a favor and check on him? Here, I don't venture out much so i always keep this with me. Its an electronic map, that will keep up to date with the landscapes. Take it. I have another at home and i can remember how to get back. I'm going to leave to my house now, I really need you check on deckard! He could be in grave danger! For that job i needed done.... well i can take care of it later. Goodbye Joshua."

*Stewart starts heading home, one step at a time.....*
