Large chunks of destroyed buildings where strewn about a nuked out city the only things you could hear where the howling winds and the splattering of water shooting out of a destroyed fountain into the street. The skeletons of the former buildings stood bent in a uniform direction with a few bits of masonry barely clinging to them. A wrecked fighter jet smolders, a wake of ruined street left behind it when it landed. A block over, a man sits in a makeshift tent made of his parachute and some bits of rock. He holds a radio in his hands, fiddling with the frequency knobs and speaking into it. "This is Sargent Jason Segal, Pacifica Air Force, if anyone can hear me, please respond." He was answered only with static. He sighs and looks out of his tent. "No one around for miles, is there?" he asks himself. He takes the rag off of his leg and inspects the gash that had been made when he landed. He tries standing, wincing with pain. "Yeah, I think I can walk..." He ties the rag around his leg and walks out of his tent in search of supplies.

tl;dr fandoms become religions, then enough nukes were close enough and killed everything.

Also, USA breaks up and you can have a surgery to transfer your brain into a custom built body.  FUTURE!!!

Back to IC Thread.

Welcome to the OOC.  All out of character posts/discussion will be here.

Protip:
The Bio doesn't necessarily have to be long.  It needs only to to 3 things:  Explain why the character's personality is so, explain how they got their skills/abilities, and above all, be interesting.

Example/My app:
Name: Jason Segal
Age: 37
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Appearance: 6'4", brown hair, white with a mild farmer's tan, fairly lean, wearing a Pacifica fighter pilot uniform, a jumpsuit with several pockets and patches on the shoulders and “Segal” embroidered on it.
Bio: Born on July 8, 2584, Jason had a relatively normal life with both parents, older brother, and younger sister. He was born into a devout Catholic family that had moved away from a more conservative town into a primarily Brony neighborhood when he was in the 5th grade, hearing that the school district in that area was good. This lead to him and a small circle of non-bronies he hung out with to be picked on quite a lot. He often retaliated though, one particular retaliation getting him suspended from school for 3 weeks. He never really identified to any religion, and since he was a bit of a history buff, he knew that religion ended up causing more problems than they were worth in most cases. Eager to get out of that town, and having an affinity for airplanes, Jason joined the Pacifica Air Force when he was 19. He rose through the ranks and eventually made Sargent. During the war, he flew a high-end fighter jet and became quite respected in his field. He still identifies himself as Catholic, but outside of Christmas and Easter he is never really observant. He was in the air after being sent out on a report of enemy bombers approaching on the day of the blast.
Personality: A very take charge kind of person. He often tries to take command of any group he joins. Confident in his abilities to the point where he is occasionally cocky. He tends to try to distance himself from religious extremists.
Starting equipment: Switchblade knife, radio, rag.
Skills/Abilities: Can fly a wide variety of aircraft. Proficient at hand to hand and small arms combat.

In the year 2105, after decades of economic decay, the United States has broken up. Some states receded into the neighboring nations, while others banded together into several smaller nations, namely: Pacifica, Gulfia, Highland, District of Columbia, Kennedy, and the Rep. of Hawaii.  Aside from this, life continues on as it would have. Media technology continues to grow over the centuries. One of the last great achievements of the United States, the hydrogen fuel cell car, had become the norm by 2134. The perfection of cold fusion technology in 2242 allows the world-wide removal of fossil fuel burning power plants, the last one being shut down in 2283. International terraforming colonies on Mars established in the 2230's set the stage for deep space exploration. The general quality of life was improving for most nations.

In 2189, the “New Religion Movement” started recognizing the fandoms of the late 20th and early 21st century (Trekkies, Poké-fans, Bronies, Whovians, etc.) as religions, under the general mantra of “It doesn't matter if it's real, so long as it teaches good values.” The previously established religions (Christianity, Hinduism, Muslim, etc., since referred to collectively as “old religions”) are still practiced alongside these new religions.

In 2198, scientists had successfully created AI systems with equal intelligence to humans. AI development had pretty much stopped there, no one wanting to risk creating a robot smarter than a human. In 2224, scientists had discovered a way to physically transplant human minds into robotic bodies without altering the patient's personality, thus creating cyborgs.

In 2401, genetic engineering research lead to the creation of completely custom body built to the exact specifications of a patient that they can have their mind implanted into without altering the personality of the patient in any way, similar to how cyborgs were created. These bodies can have very few genetic similarities to the patient's original form and are fully capable of biologically reproducing with each other. The people who underwent this procedure became known as “Synths.” Because of the previously mentioned new religion movement, people from the new religions (especially Poké-fans and Bronies) took this as an opportunity to better worship their religion, and took the forms of recognizable figures from their respective scriptures. By the end of the 2500's, roughly half of all synths were based on a religion of some sort.

At first these new groups where met with hostility, similar to the racial issues of previous centuries. Like those racial groups before them, the robots, cyborgs, and synths had staged their own civil rights movements, and were soon admitted into the general population of most civilized nations. By the end of the 2500's, humans represented 55% to 75% of the population amongst civilized nations. The rest where robots, cyborgs and synths.

In 2549, Russia, China, North Korea, and other communist nations banded together to become the “Neo-Communist Union,” a direct counterpoint to the United Nations (The UN had remained in continuous operation despite all the change around them.). Both sides, not wanting to go into another cold war scenario, remained neutral to each other. This continued for some time. Tensions slowly rise until, in 2603, an attack on South Korea was made by North Korea. This was followed by Cuba attacking Kennedy, Russia attacking Finland, and so on and so-forth until nearly every country on Earth was involved. Then, in 2621, an NCU science team develops the world's first anti-matter bomb. They launch the bomb and discover that they had radically underestimated it's power. The blast radius of the bomb ends up being the size of Alaska, and the bomb has enough energy to detonate neighboring nuclear stockpiles. These stockpiles detonate the stockpiles near to them, causing a nuclear domino effect spreading outward and enveloping the world in a wave of destruction that annihilates the majority of life (natural or otherwise) on Earth.

You are one of the few survivors, tasked with surviving in the barren wastelands of Earth.

I tried to send mine in for repairs, but they didn't like that I had custom firmware on it. What I'd really like to know is how it was detected. I thought that I had removed all traces of it, but apparently I wasn't thorough enough.

Nintendo has ninjas in it's staff.  They always know.  ALWAYS.

I have this same problem.  So what you're saying is that I have to post ten things here in order to allow my account to the other portions of this website?
