[WARNING FOR VIOLENCE AND (a little) GORE]
It's a usual Friday for you, waking up and getting ready for whatever activities you've planned, be it working to death or socializing with friends. It may be tiring, but you're looking forwards to the weekdays - though they only last two days before you're thrown back into the terrible pit of your life.
It never occurred to you that this day would be the moment your life flips around.
It's 5:43 PM and you're doing your own thing, be it sleeping, working, lazing about, or eating. All of a sudden, there's a rather loud Bang that sounds outside, but it's pretty far away from where you are. Whether you're suspicious or not, the rest of the people around you aren't. They shake it off as some loud construction work or another dumb accident. Not being able to do anything about it, you continue.
An hour passes, and the streets are suddenly filled with barks, meows and chirps of the animals, the birds flying off to who-knows-where while the dogs and cats turn restless.
Fifteen minutes later, and the ground shakes.
?
It takes you a quick moment to realize you're in the middle of an earthquake. However, unlike most earthquakes, this one starts out violent - it's only a few seconds until objects start falling off from tables and ledges, the shrilling sound of glass breaking surrounding you. With the surface under you shaking terribly, you stumble and stagger your way to safety, someplace to wait this disaster out.
It doesn't stop.
The earthquake lasts for nearly an hour, it's force increasing minute by minute until your "safe" shelter threatens to fall on you. No other choice, you get out and run for your life. Of course, nobody can outrun an earthquake, and it's not long before something whacks you on the head or you clumsily trip over the many huge cracks that split the ground. You lose consciousness...
And when you miraculously wake, it's not a pretty sight.
(http://i59BannedImageSite/2v1nehu.jpg)
That's not the only horror you face. You look around you and find nobody - it's just like the TV shows you've seen, but now it's reality and you really don't know what to do. Luckily, there's no zombies, but the silence around you is loud, and there's dead bodies around you, buried under rubble. The buildings are completely wrecked, and though many still somehow stand, and a few are totally intact. The ground is completely filled with pieces of concrete and rather large gaps that could trap you should you fall in. Having an uneasy feeling, you get up and prepare to walk when a loud animalistic sound breaks the silence.
You look up and realize you aren't alone. There's some weird things flying up above, and when you squint it's clearly not a helicopter or plane, and it's too big to be a bird. Plus the fact that it's obviously four-legged. You don't know any four-legged flying animals. One of them lands close to you, slowly lowering it's head to pull out a corpse from underneath rubble.
You don't notice that it's eating your fellow human because you're too busy staring at a griffin. Something straight out from the myths that you've seen, a bird's head and a lion's body. You stare for a while longer before a loud thump erupts somewhere above. You glance up to see a dark red dragon screeching at another gold one, both barely balancing on a broken building. [The dragons are smaller than you've expected, but they're bigger than the griffin and that's enough of a danger to you.] another sound to your left, and you look just in time to see a chimera running into a building.
...This wasn't your usual Friday.
You've lived past the horror of an abnormal earthquake that broke the whole world and is now forced to survive or die. You have to search through the rubble-filled streets to find sustenance and possibly a place to hide and rest. However, that's not going to be easy either.
Though the main Earthquake that caused the destruction has ceased, there's still occasionally a smaller but still deadlier earthquake that shakes through the ground. It can last for maximum 20 minutes, and though it sometimes is short, it's still violent enough to cause weakened buildings to fall. That's not your only danger, though.
Something has gone horribly wrong and now mythical creatures are taking over the land, obviously furious at being transported to a unfamiliar place. They range from griffins and dragons to wraiths, sirens and sea serpents in the lakes and oceans. While some are passive or skittish, most are hostile and would see you as food, or just that you're trespassing on their territory. Either way, you're more likely to die than make friends with one.
If that wasn't enough, there's a finally danger roaming about the streets. You aren't the only survivor in this destroyed city, many others have also survived - and a few of these survivors have gotten together in a group, mainly to survive. There's two - and neither of them can quite be called friendly, or be trusted.
The Groups
There's only two, but there's a lot of people in those groups. Both have got a bunch of weapons, and both have dangerous people, some of which wouldn't hesitate to cut your throat open. However, these two groups clearly arent allies.
? ?onquest ?
This group is definitely larger than The other group, and is rather hostile. Their leader is Kenneth, a harsh and cruel man who would shoot you if you even sneezed funny in his presence. He's said to be a little bit insane, mostly because he doesn't flinch when he kills somebody. His group is filled with equally ruthless people, but you'll find that not all his group members were willing to join him.
In order to get more survivors to help him get food and build up a sturdy building to withhold both the creatures and earthquakes [Though it seems impossible], Kenneth threatens anybody he finds with the end of his rifle or the edge of his knife - It's either to help ?onquest, or die painfully.
? ?olace ?
They're the more "Peaceful" Group, but still dangerous as ever. Though they treat their fellow members equally, they'll still kill if anybody threatens them. They believe that ?olace is a group where anybody can join if they want to have people to help them survive, or have accompaniment. Still, the group can still be filled with untrusted people, especially since they allow nearly everybody who 'looks safe enough'. Their leader is ______.
Unlike ?onquest, they do not attack anybody they see on sight, but rather spy on them closely to see what they're up to. If it needs no attention, they leave them alone. However, cross into their territory and they'll aim weapons at you.
.:.
[Kenneth will be a NPC controlled by me. He won't have an actual application, and he'll only appear when needed.
?olace, however, currently doesn't have a leader! Feel free to create one for them, but make sure you are literate and can handle it.
Most group members will be NPCs, so go ahead and make your character stumble upon one of them or something.]

Name
Njal Sverrsson
Gender
Male
Age
21
Nationality
Icelandic
Group (Solace, Conquest, None?)
He originally joined neither, but was recently forced to work for ?onquest, together with Kolr.
Personality
Njal is generally pretty friendly, compassionate, and enjoyable to be around with. He wears his heart on his sleeve, showing his emotions clearly. Njal, despite being kind, isn't quite gentle in his actions. [Basically a Giant lovable bear, as Kolr had said.] Despite all of these, he can be rather protective and will not hesitate to fight back if somebody is threatened, especially if it's his loved ones. As he's not gentle, when he fights he will be violent, and will probably hurt more than he was supposed to.
History
He and Kolr, his young brother, originally lived in a small but comfortable house in a quiet valley, and as they grew up their life was rather carefree. However, when they were around 9 Years, their father grew bankrupt as his company shut down abruptly. They were forced to move to the noisy city, where they constantly moved about, trying to find a home, though they often found themselves spending the night in the streets. Njal always looked after his brother, and they spent most of their times together. The older would usually help their parents and try to gain money, and was mostly responsible, while the younger would quietly disappear randomly and mysteriously return with a bag of food in his hands. Soon, though, their mother grew sick. Without any money to get medicine, she passed away.
The Earthquake came and the small family only managed to find a tunnel as shelter, but that soon collapsed in no time. While running out, their father was unfortunately caught in the falling debris. The brothers barely had time to grab for him before a piece of concrete crushed his head, and they were forced to continue running. Both eventually found themselves in a store, under one of the buildings which miraculously survived. When the earthquake was over, however, they were chased out by a huge two-head snake.
They spent three weeks wandering the city and got caught by Kenneth himself while they were searching for edible food in a abandoned restaurant, apparently having wandered a little too close to ?onquest Territory. Faced with more than one gun, they had to work and help get food for the group unwillingly.
Description
He's blonde with deep blue eyes, 6'3 in height, rather tall for his age. He's more muscular than anything, has a strong jaw and a perfect face that makes him look more like a model than a poor man. He wears a plain grey shirt with dark blue jeans, covered with a torn jacket. Has a strange gold ring on his middle finger with the imprint of a lion on it.
Companions
-Kolr, his younger brother.
-Vendla, the brothers' female greyhound.

Name

Gender
Male
Age
19
Nationality
Icelandic
Group
Kolr and Njal joined neither, but was recently forced to work for ?onquest.
Personality
The total opposite of Njal. To strangers and most people he's cold-hearted, rude, closed-off and selfish, one who wouldn't care if another fell down the stairs. He's often seen as cunning, using his own ways to get what he wants. Not friendly, more of a stressed-out leopard than anything.
To close people, however, he's protective and gentle, and can even have a good sense of humor. Also quite mischievous, nothing like the act he puts up to strangers. Kolr is also rather intelligent, and though he uses words more than actions in situations, it works better.
History
[Read Njal's History.]
Description
A tall pale man with messy raven-black hair that's around shoulder-length. Standing at 6'1, he follows his brother in being too tall for his age. He has greyish-purple eyes and a sharp face with high cheekbones that give him an intimidating look. Like Njal, he wears a plain black shirt with grey trousers and a long black coat. He also has a ring on his middle fingure, but it's imprint is that of a snake.
Companions
-Njal, his older brother.
-Vendla, the brothers' female greyhound.
Others
?Though both brothers have an Icelandic accent in their speech, Kolr sounds a little more British.
?Njal is excellent at swimming.
?These two have a great relationship and hardly fight.
(http://i57BannedImageSite/wbdzsw.jpg)
Vendla
Vendla is a beautiful adult female greyhound that's loyal to Njal and Kolr. She only responds to their call. Kolr found her in the streets when she was a pup and got the habit of feeding her his share of food. As a result, she started following the brothers around, though she's more closer to Kolr then Njal.[/size]

Name:
Her name is Aja Eldridge. [Pronounced as: Asia]
Gender:
She is a female.
Age:
She is currently fourteen years old.
Nationality:
She is British.
Group:
She is part of no group.
Personality:
Aja has a very strong mind, body, and heart, being the silent but strong type. She often remains quiet, but she does speak to those that she trusts. She prefers to spend her time in the company of others instead of noiseless solitude. By taking the time to observe others, Aja is very understanding of feelings and how others work. She can read emotions easily and sometimes feel them, although she doesn't understand everything she sees. She has a kind heart and doesn't mind helping people. But sometimes, she hardens herself and shuts out the world. She is a master at concealing her emotions and slipping emotionless masks over her face, much to the frustration of some. The more time you spend with her, the less you seem to know about her. She does open up to those she really trusts, although she doesn't share too much. She has the ability to quickly figure out new things with or without help. She has the tendency to act violently at times, and she can kill others without qualms. She thinks quickly under pressure. Aja has a hard time admitting her limits. She doesn't like to confess to feeling "weak," even when she is obviously exhausted. This shows a bit of hid stubborn side. She occasionally judges people a little too quickly, and she can be a little too wary at times. She can be relentlessly stubborn, proud, and discreetly defiant. Aja can be a little defensive of herself at times; she doesn't always like admitting to her mistakes. Last of all, she is easily provoked and has a temper at times.
History:
Aja's family in the past was disordered. Her parents had two children (a boy and a girl), but her mother left the family when Aja was at the age of eight. Her father never told the children why their mother had left, but Aja didn't need him to exactly tell her. She had overheard from a midnight argument about the family struggling with finances. However, that was all she had heard when she left, seeing that her parents moved into a position where they could see her eavesdropping. It was the following day that her mother packed up her bags and moved to Colorado. They never received any calls, messages, or communications from her. Six years later, while her father was at work, and the two (Aja and her brother) stayed at home, a sudden earthquake hit, shaking the ground with such force Aja was sure the house would collapse. Because it did. With that, Aja and her brother fled their house, running frantically to any shelter that they could find. Yet, her brother tripped and cursed, making Aja turn around to trip herself. The two lost their balance and tumbled into a rather deep ditched, where they were knocked unconscious. Soon enough, they later regained conscious to find what had happened.
Other:
?Aja has an older brother at the age of 20.

Name:
His name is Bryce Eldridge.
Gender:
He is of the male.
Age:
He is currently twenty-two years old.
Nationality:
He is British.
Group:
He is part of no group.
Personality:
Bryce has a jagged appearance that causes people to look twice at him when he walks past. He attracts much attention with his rough clothing and the mainstream black leather jacket. Normally, you can spot him at the center of the party, always being the first to take on a dare. He is full of confidence, and it makes him one of the hardest guys to approach. As the official troublemaker of the college, he makes sure that no one else claims that position. He constantly disrupts class, often dissing the teachers. With an intimidating stare and loyal friends by his side, he seems like the last person anyone would want to mess with.
In reality, Bryce struggles to maintain his reputation and hardcore style. He does have a kind, soft heart that he shoves deep inside of him, where no one can see it. He hesitates when it comes to making the right choices, always thinking about his reputation first. This, in most cases, could be considered self-centered for him. He roughens up his appearance as much as possible.
Bryce cares deeply about his sister, and she knows it, although it is a subject that is to never come up in their conversations. He hates admitting that he loves her, so he shows it in subtle ways. While she might sometimes notice it, she never says anything because she knows he will just deny it. He has always been secretly jealous of her, which results in him making a competition out of everything they do. However, behind that jealousy is a strong pride that causes his love for her to swell. He tends to be extremely overprotective of her, not letting any guys come near her if he doesn't approve of them. With his intimidating reputation, it has gone well for him so far.
To sum things up, Bryce has a kind heart, but he hides it by acting tough and uncaring.
History:
[A few phrases are copied from Aja's history.]
Bryce's family in the past was disordered. His parents had two children (a boy and a girl), but his mother left the family when Bryce was at the age of sixteen. His father never told the children why their mother had left. Bryce had faintly heard the shrill voices of his parents arguing one night, but he didn't care at all, but instead jammed up the music in his room to block out their voices. It was the following day that her mother packed up her bags and moved to Colorado, and Bryce never came out to say goodbye. A few days later, they never received any calls, messages, or communications from her. Six years later, while his father was at work, and the two (Bryce and his sister) stayed at home, a sudden earthquake hit, shaking the ground with such force Aja was screaming that she was sure "the house would collapse". Bryce had scoffed at that, but soon, he regretted did, because it did. With that, he ushered his sister out of the house, but turned around to grab the first we?pon he could find, which happened to be his hunting knif?. Soon, he followed his sister, and the two began to run frantically around to any shelter that they could find. However, Bryce stumbled over a fallen rock, causing a curse to wrench from his jaws. Unfortunately, that made Aja turn around and trip herself. The two lost their balance and tumbled into a rather deep ditched, where they were knocked unconscious. Soon enough, they later regained conscious to find what had happened.

Njal Sverrsson
Stats"Stop it!"Njal yelled, but once again his cries of anger were ignored. Large, muscled arms tugged futilely at the hands that were struggling to hold him back. The blonde never quite noticed - or cared - that it had to take nearly six people to hold him down, and that the barrel of a gun was aimed at his head. His attention was only focused on the scene in front of him, one that riled his anger and fear.
There, in the middle of the room, was Kenneth, an ugly shark-grin plastered on his face, grey eyes shining with malice as they looked down. His feet continually kicked the stomach of a raven-haired man crouched low, a shaking hand bracing himself on the floor while the other clutched his mid-section, weakly attempting to block the kicks. Njal's brother, Kolr, was breathing harshly, Grey-purple eyes shut tight in pain, body tensed. His face was a bloody mess, an eye nearly swollen shut from a rough punch delivered by Kenneth. Despite this, Njal was proud - even beaten up so badly, his younger brother still managed to not fully collapse on the ground. Once again, the older growled under his breath, attempting to pull away from the men holding him back. He would love to punch Kenneth's face in until he couldn't be recognized anymore, break his bones and shoot him, watch as he died, writhing in agony and pain.
Suddenly, something caught his eye. He glanced down, half-surprised to see Kolr facing him, clouded eyes looking straight at him with a strange intensity. They conveyed a message to Njal, pleading with him - the eye-contact-speech the brothers always did when they couldn't talk with each other. Slowly, still staring at his brother, Njal stopped struggling fiercely, angry gaze turning into a sorrowful one as he looked back up at Kenneth. The leader, having noticed Njal 'calm down', abruptly stopped kicking, instead leaning down, all the while keeping an eye on the older blonde. A gloved hand grasped at long black hair, pulling back, which ignited further anger in Njal, but he didn't move. Kenneth smirked at this. He glanced at Kolr, whispering something in his ear before roughly pushing the younger boy away, then stood up fully, straightening his shirt and starting to walk out, going past Njal.
"That should teach the both of you a lesson. You try again tonight." Kenneth murmured, before pausing at the door and letting out a dark chuckle. "Fail to bring enough supplies again, and... Well. I'm sure you wouldn't want something like this to happen once more."
(http://i58BannedImageSite/xknnsp.jpg)
Kolr Sverrsson
StatsWell, so much for returning with only three cans of food and water and thinking it was enough. Kolr let out a small huff of breath as another blow landed, jostling his already broken ribs and making it more painful to breathe. His pale hand was spasmodically clenching and unclenching on the cracked ground. Faintly, as though he was underwater, he could hear the angered yell of his brother, as well as a muffled bark that was definitely a distance away. It gave him a small sense of comfort knowing it was Vendla, barking madly as though she could feel her master's pain. Maybe she could. Kolr grunted slightly as another kick pressed his arm painfully against his side, tempting him to just give up and drop onto the ground, curl up into a ball to protect himself further. But no, he was too prideful for that - he couldn't help it, it was like a habit to not show weakness. Even though he was shaking like a leaf and had blood running down the side of his mouth, caused by him biting his own tongue.
Half out of curiosity and worry, Kolr turned his head to the side, eyes fixating on Njal. It didn't take long for his brother to notice, even in his anger, and soon enough the two were staring at one another. Ignoring another agonizing kick, his eyes softened, trying to get Njal to stop resisting. Or else, he could be hit as well. The older seemed to understand, and with a reluctant expression, backed down. Kolr gave a small smile in both appreciation and reassurance, then turned his attention back on Kenneth when the latter abruptly stopped kicking him.
Soon enough, though, he felt a rough hand grab clumsily at his hair, pulling, making his back arch awkwardly. "Seems your brother is smart enough to listen to you." Kenneth murmured, and though Kolr couldn't see his face he could clearly hear the smirk in his voice. In retaliation, Kolr snarled wordlessly, then he was pushed away. He watched as Kenneth walked out of the room, but not before saying when they started 'working' again. He winced, waiting until most of the people filed out of the room, following Kenneth, then only did he yield and fall to the ground with a grunt.(http://i57BannedImageSite/wbdzsw.jpg)

Analyse Mcallister
She goes by the name of Analyse Mcallister, she is of the female. Analyse is a young woman who is the age of 21 years olf. She does travel these parts 'alone' as some might say but she is accompanied by her two canines- Condren and Fletcher. She is currently located in a building and soon moves into the streets.
Health: 18/20
Injuried: a few scratches and a few bruises
Company: Fletcher her merle German Shepherd|Male. Condren her Catahoula Leopard dog|Male.
Everything had came as a sudden change to Analyse - as it would to anyone it had happened to - and although a world full of fantasy creatures may be a young childs dream she could honeslty say it wasn't. Everything didn't seem as it was in books or films such as 'Harry Potter' the griffins weren't tamed nor were the dragons or those mermaid creatures you always heard about - so trying to get close to one would be hard never mind interacting with one - unless you wanted to lose your life that is. Although, she did love the sense of adventure and danger this had all gotten a bit out of hand, especially with groups of people around who would prefer to slaughter and kill you instead of communicating. But Ana needed to try her best.
She had sat for hours in an empty, rubble filled building with only a few tatted couches and tables - rubble, class and trashed furniture covering the floor- no where looked really satisfying anymore and it all felt lonely. But she was thankful of the company she had from her two dogs Condren and Fletcher - unlike most pets they weren't killed and hadn't ran away like a few would - she was happy with them being here and they gave her a sense of safety but also happy ness.
The smashed windown let in some light that did light the dark room pretty well, and it was then when you could realise how much damage the earthquake had actually caused around those parts it was horrendous. Her lazy gaze rested upon the two dogs - Fletcher watching out a window and Condren standing stiffly at the door - they were great protection dogs but they always seemed on the job like they were unhappy in this cramped room - deciding to get rid of her dampened spirits she rose to her feet. Clicking her fingers towards the two "Come on." she spoke in her usualy soft tone as they quietly and slowly exited the building.
Luckily the streets were quiet and empty - nothing around the bother them - although the silence was to loud and any loud noise from the group was sure to draw attention, but the quick rumbling of thunder would soon draw it out - and it was then she looked into the sky and realised it was grew and drowned with clouds - a sigh blowing past her lips. Looking down she noticed her two dogs at either leg, smiling she reached down her hands and patted them continuously reassuring them. "Go on boys stretch your legs, we're going on a walk!" she chuckled and with that they set off. Through the rubble filled streets - shadowed areas helping to hide them - which was an advantage. Although all three were still wary, ready and alert.

Welcome! Thanks for joining. :3 Feel free to pop in whenever you like.~)

On my phone.))
Shilow's eyes shot around the street, making sure it was clear to go. After a couple of minutes surveying the area, she shot across the open street, her eyes fixated on the alley way. Once safely across, Shilow slowed to a walk. She noticed a building with It's door hanging off it's hinges and, being desperate for supplies, walked in cautiously. She drew out her knife that was strapped on her thigh and glanced around the dark room. She stayed in the darkness to avoid anyone or anything spot her. Shilow risked walking forward to search a small cardboard box. She smiled thankfully upon finding a couple bottles of water. It wasn't much but it was something. Satisfied, she made her way quietly back out of the building sliding her knife back in its sheath then continueing down the alley.

Natalia Sofress
You know that feeling that you get when you're somewhere you shouldn't be? Natalia had that feeling now. It was coursing through her blood, tunnelling through her veins to fuel her burning adrenaline. She sat perched on top of one of the few intact buildings, examining her knuckles. It hadn't been long since she had punched him, two hours at the most, so there was still a decent amount of blood trickling through her clenched fingers and her bottom lip stung from where she received the answering blow. It was an act purely out of self defence. Any normal person would of at least punched anyone that tried to that to them. It was downright disgusting. Natalia shuddered and pushed the thought out of her mind, focusing on the more positive note. She had at least fractured a bone of his with her punch. The brief flash of pain on Kenneth's face had proved that and had sent a wave of triumph washing over her.
A faint rumble of thunder relatively far off brought her back to the present and she dug her good hand into Jakub's fur. He answered with a quiet whine and buried his muzzle into her hair, summoning a small smile upon Natalia's face followed by a wince as she tasted blood from the crack on her lip. Her legs were stiff as she bent them to push herself up from her sitting position, placing a hand on the wall behind her to stop herself from stumbling. She shuffled along the thin ledge jutting out from the building until she reached a caved-in window to let herself back inside the building. With a tiny movement of the girl's head, Jakub followed his owner to the top of the stairs leading down to ground level. Before the earthquake, she would of struggled to descend so many stairs, but the lack of forms of transport had built muscles she had never had before on her arms and legs.
Putting all of her weight against the exit doors, they finally creaked open. Natalia held it open first to let the Australian Shepherd through and then slipped outside herself, closing it almost silently to avoid attracting those stupid creatures. If she didn't hurry back to ?onquest's territory, she would be questioned by Kenneth and furthermore draw attention to herself, something she couldn't stand.

Bryce Eldridge
Darkness clouded Bryce's vision as he gazed around, a little dazed. A small ray of light slipped through a small crack from above, only giving him little light. Where am I? Confusion settled upon him as he slowly slipped into a sitting position, with legs crossed. He felt something wet running down the side of his neck and touched it. Once he drew his hand away, he realized that it was fresh blood oozed from a wound somewhere on his head. "Ugh..." The word he had uttered sounded more like a gurgling sound rather than an actual word. Shaking his head slightly, he slowly shifted and began to crawl towards the ray of dim light, putting his head in front of it, as if it were the only thing keeping him alive. He wasn't even sure if he was alive, anyway. Pressing a palm to his forehead, he began to try and drift back to the past using his memory. It was mostly blurry, but he could make out a few things, hopefully. Yet all he could remember was stumbling over and falling into a ditch with Aja.
"Aja!" Bryce suddenly scrambled onto his two legs, nearly wobbling and falling over. He caught his balance by slamming his hand upon whatever was in front of him. Coolness scurried up his hand as he made contact with the object. Brushing off the feeling, he wildly began to glance around, searching for his younger sister. She couldn't have survived the long fall. She must be somewhere around here. Yet to his surprise, he found no sign of Aja. "Aja!" He hollered. His voice sounded strained and raspy, but he could have cared less. Deciding to try one more time, he cleared his throat and swallowed a bit of his saliva. "Aja!"
"Up here, you idiot." Bryce's head jerked to glance above him. He could now see a shadow partially blocking the ray of light. However, as the figure drew near and squatted down, he could see Aja's face clearly. A sigh of relief swept over him, but he quickly hardened his gaze, a stern expression falling over him.
"How come you didn't answer? I called at least five times." His hand shifted, still clinging onto the strange object, which smelled and seemed like metal. Aja pushed back a few strands of her hand and tucked it behind her ear.
"Three, to be exact. I was standing here the whole time, watching you, she replied, now returning to her full height. She crossed her arms, staring down with a smug expression on her face. Bryce scoffed to himself.
"Whatever. How'd you get up?" Bryce strained to hear her voice as it suddenly grew quieter. He wasn't sure if he had heard correctly, but he didn't want to ask her to repeat herself again. Apparently, from what he heard, there was a metal ladder somewhere. His gazed dropped to what his hand was holding, before he realized that he was holding the ladder. Firmly gripping it, he began to climb his way up, squinting slightly at the sudden brightness that glared down at him. It took him only a few moments to realize that it was a flashlight. "Aja - turn it off!" he snapped, shading his eyes with his hands to fight off the light. A small giggle erupted from his sister's mouth. A small snap was sounded, before the light clicked off. Then, Aja backed up, leaving enough space for Bryce to haul himself up and over the edge of the ditch. When his body touched the hard ground, a huff escaped his lips as he sprawled out onto the ground. To his surprise, the climb exhausted him, even though he played enough sports to keep his body active. Turning his gaze to his sister without moving his head, he uttered, "Where'd you find the flashlight?"
Aja straightened her shoulders, swinging the flashlight to and fro as she answered. "I found it in an old shed over there." Her index finger lifted and pointed towards a ruined pile of wood. It didn't look like a shed anymore. "It took me a while to find it. I was looking for any tools to help us, or like some we?pon to defend us. But I only found this old thingy, so hopefully it'll do us some good."
Bryce frowned, lifting himself up onto his two legs. "We?pons? What for?" He questioned, glancing around them. "Zombies?" He scoffed. If it was zombies, it wouldn't be a challenge for Bryce. He'd played so many video games that included zombies and mythical creatures. However, that was only in the video game. Out here in real life, he wasn't sure if he'd stand a chance. His gaze drifted back to Aja.
"Ha - you'd wish," she replied, crossing her arms again. "No. It's not what you would expect. Take a look at that building," she instructed, pointing towards a half-ruined building. When Bryce shot a glance at it, he nearly reeled back in shock. Two griffins were balancing on it, snapping and screeching at one another over a limp body hanging over the side. He bit his lip, wondering what else lurked around. "And," Aja continued, "I don't really know how they got here, but I'm guessing it had to do something with..the earthquake."
Bryce nodded in agreement, reaching up to cup the wound on his head. "Yeah, whatever. Just stay hidden and remain out of their sight and way, and we'll be safe." Aja rolled her eyes.
"Easier said than done," she muttered, glancing at him. Her eyes widened with shock. "Bryce! Why didn't you say something? You're hurt!" She exclaimed, already at him and pulling his hand away. Bryce jerked his arm free and glared at her, before shuffling away.
"Yeah, thanks, Captain Obvious. It's nothing big. I can handle it," he replied, a tone of annoyance ringing through his words. "Anyway," he continued as he began to set off, "we'd better find a place to rest and stay for the night. It's getting dark, I think. Heck, I don't even know what the bloody time is." Frustration gnawed at him as he headed down the street, ignoring the warm liquid running down the side of his neck. Pressing his fingernail into his thumb to block out the pain, he glanced back to see whether Aja was following or not. Once she caught up and began to walk beside him, he rounded the corner, expecting no one or nothing in sight. However, in the distance, he noticed a figure moving slowly with two smaller figures at its side. He immediately halted, bring his arm up and stopping Aja, who - filled with annoyance - shoved his arm out of the way.
"Stop it!" she snapped, glaring at her brother. However, when a sharp yet quiet "shut up" escaped his lips, she quickly ducked behind him, peering from behind his shoulder. Whatever the three figures where, she hoped they meant no harm.

Njal Sverrsson
StatsAs soon as Kenneth's men released him, Njal immediately jerked up and ran to Kolr, kneeling beside the slighter man and examining him. It wasn't enough injuries to kill, but breathing had to be painful. And it was, judging from the way his chest seemed to hardly move - trying to get air, but attempting to avoid the pain as well. Njal frowned, blue eyes moving upwards to check Kolr's face. His eyes were half-lidded and slightly foggy, but he was sporting a small smirk that Njal knew very well. The older smiled back, a thumb wiping off the blood trailing from his mouth. It was almost the same as caring for the young, shy brother whenever he was sick. Njal let out a sigh, brushing the strands of black hair back. "Rest, Brother." He murmured, and as the purple eyes closed, Njal shifted into a crouch, moving his hand to support Kolr's neck and under his knees.
Making sure he had a tight grip, Njal stood, wincing when he heard a sharp intake of breath coming from his younger brother. He knew he wasnt very gentle, but he couldn't help it. Mumbling a 'sorry' to the younger man, Njal carried his brother out of the room, quietly walking through the building and out, ignoring the stares of other Conquest members - they were either pitiful, frightened or smug ones. Setting his jaw, he walked across the streets, moving to another building.
The Conquest territory expanded around at least seven surviving buildings - two of which were tall buildings, the one built for offices and whatnot. Those two were considered the 'main' buildings, and only Kenneth and his most trusted people were let in. The other five were just plain simple apartment buidlings/shops, two for storing food and supplies and weapons, two used for sleeping quarters, and another was just a clear, big room, where anybody could sit there and rest, or chat with others. Of course, there were many other buidlings around, but they were in the danger of falling if another earthquake arrived. Either that or there was a chance of mythical creatures busting in. Njal paused for a moment, then decided to head over to the big empty resting room, since he figured that around this time Conquest's members were out doing their job, or were getting thrashed around by Kenneth. He slowed down when he entered the building, glancing around to check - and sure enough, there was nobody. Then again, this building was big and had three stories (left), so anybody could still be here. Not really caring if there were, he set Kolr down onto an abandoned mattress, and as he looked at Kolr, he realized that the younger had fallen unconscious.
Setting his jaw, Njal tore off a piece pf his already-torn jacket, removing a water bottle he had crammed into his spacious pockets. He poured some on the cloth before shifting to wipe the dirt and blood from Kolr's face, soon enough moving to remove the younger's top - he would have to push his ribs back into place. He never thought that he would be happy that his brother was unconscious.

Analyse Mcallister
She goes by the name of Analyse Mcallister, she is of the female. Analyse is a young woman who is the age of 21 years olf. She does travel these parts 'alone' as some might say but she is accompanied by her two canines- Condren and Fletcher. She is currently located in a building and soon moves into the streets.
Health: 18/20
Injuried: a few scratches and a few bruises
Company: Fletcher her merle German Shepherd|Male. Condren her Catahoula Leopard dog|Male.
The brunettes eyes had begun to survey their surroundings, nearly everything was ruined, crushed cars, crumbled building, glass everywhere, dead bodies and not to mention huge cracks in the ground. This once beautiful city had now turned into a rubble filled dump, which did sadden the young girl but there was no way her or anyone could have prevented this from happening and it was just a natural disaster. It looked how it would on the movies, or how smaller cities fell when they had earthquakes - it all happened to quick in her eyes and a few more minutes with her family would have been great.
But there was something that had still confused her, where did all the mythical creatures come from? As a child she would read books, seee paintings, watch movies and tv shows on these mythical creatures and as much as she believed them her parents told her they weren't really. So where could they have came from? They had never, never been spotted when the coty was in its normal state now? They couldn't have just fallen from the sky and it was never on the news about 'Mythical Creature Sightings' the only other reasonable explination was the cracks in the ground, but not even that would be able to explain anything.
Many thoughts had ran through her head and she had filled her head with many unanswered questions, although it was all getting to much she somehow found a way to carry on. Maybe it was to prove what she's made of or maybe its to keep her fellow canine companions safe or maybe she doesn't want to die at this young age. However it could be all three.
Ever since exiting the building she had asked herself questions and travelled off in her own thoughts, not really paying attention to her surrounds which could be a stupid move - although with Fletcher and Condren she was sure to be safe. Shrugging off her thoughts she stopped for a moment, taking in the whiff of something horrible her nose wrinkled in disgues and she mutter the word 'eww' to herself as she hurried down the street - catching up with the two dogs. They seemed rather happy to be out and about rather than trapped inside that building all day and even her herself enyojed it. But soon they would need to search for supplies as food doesn't find itself.

Ava Collins
Health; A slight limp from a sprained ankle. A few cuts and bruises. 19/20.
Stat; Hearts pumping from adrenaline.
Ava's large doe-like eyes remained solidified to the creatures, a hypnotic veil settling over them. But, Ava was well aware. Her hands slowly twitched towards her bag. To her dismay, the creature was well aware too. Rearing back, it struck forward. Ava whirled around, leaping away from the creature as it's head slammed into her motorcycle, sending her bag skidding to the middle of the road. Ava's small body rolled her gracefully back onto her hands and feet. She wasted no time in taking off down the sidewalk riddled with debris, forcing her sprint to become more of a hurtle race. She leapt seemingly flawlessly over each obstacle as the snake crashed through them, but her actionfilled running was taking it's toll on her already hurt ankle. With each jump, each step, her ankle wobbled. Reality hit, her bag. She needed it. Not only did it contain her weapons and ammunition, it contained a small piece of technology, a small, high tec projector if you will, containing all the information behind the earthquakes. Or atleast the bit that the government was aware of. Her heels kicked up, and she slid to a stop, turning to face the approaching creature. Her mind worked fast, struggling to conjure a plan, an idea of any kind. But her shoulders fell limp with ignorance. The creature sped up, lessening the space between them. And just as Ava closed her eyes to accept it, the sound of gunshots rang out. Her eyes flickered open as the snake reared back in fear. The dust and smoke rose as the bullets penetrated the sidewalk between Ava and the snake. She took the opportunity to turn on her heels, limping out onto the street as her eyes scanned the skyline for any sign of her savior. The bullets were military grade, she was well trained in recognizing them, and when the sound of heavy boots slamming into the road behind her caught her attention, she sighed. He jumped down from a small terrace, aiming his gun once more at the beast while motioning for Ava to move to safety. Without a word, Ava turned, slipping behind a damaged car just as the man tossed a smoke grenade before slipping beside her.

Jake Williams
Health;A few scratches,
Stat;Fully aware and conscious
He had been watching her intently. He finished clearing the building in search of survivors, it was what his commanding officer would have ordered him to do, and stepping out onto the terrace, he saw her. She ran down the street, hurtling over debris. For good reason too, for right behind her was a creature. Raising his gun, he watched as the girl froze, facing the creature in a stand off that she would surely lose. Jake pulled the trigger, shooting the road between the two, and forcing the beast back which in turn gave the girl enough time to jog his way. He swiftly dropped from the terrace, raising his gun once more as the creature recovered, motioning for her to find safety. The girl seemed to listen, and Jake quickly slipped out a smoke grenade, tossing it towards the beast before slipping beside the girl. Both of their chests heaved, their eyes searching each other hesitantly. But, before either could speak, the creature slipped from the smoke, searching for them, it's body coming to a stop just before a large bag, which the girl seemed to want. Her large blue eyes glanced Jake's way, which he quickly shook his head, motioning for her to stay put. To no avail. The girl took her chances, charging from the car to hover over her bag. The snake spotted her, raising it's head to strike. Jake's forehead dripped with sweat, his teeth clenched together in annoyance, but nevertheless, he stood, charging the girl. She snatched her bag up just as he reached her, tackling the girl behind a large column holding up q patio. Jake turned in mid air, allowing the girl to land atop him as they slammed heavily into the ground. Jake took a moment to breathe in, rolling over as the girl slid off. His hands pushed him back to his feet, and to his surprise, the beast was gone. He droggily shoved his gun back into his other hand, before wiping his free palm across his forehead. "Thanks.", the girl's voice was quiet yet strong. Turning, Jake eyed her over. She held her ankle off the ground. "Jake Williams, second in command to Nicholas Pierce." He offered back. "Ava Collins, FBI protective services." Those words caught his attention, "You were at the Whitehouse when the earthquakes hit?" She hesitated, shifting her bag onto her shoulder. She looked pale, tired. "Tell me!" he barked. The girl's eyes faded off, as she stumbled forward, only to drop to the ground unconscious. No telling how long she has gone with no food, and to run like that with an injured ankle? Jake exhaled deeply in exasperation, bending down to scoop the girl up along with her bag. He eyed the fallen motorcycle for a moment, but no one could steal it without the keys. With that thought, he turned, eyeing the large building beside him before stepping in.

Evelyn Sawyer
Health: 19/20
Injuries: Scraped knee
The young girl was sitting on a chair that was placed outside one of the apartment buildings where the group lived, she was asked to stay outside for a bit by Anya. Anya often did this but Evelyn never knew why, but when she did she would hear noises come from inside, like someone was getting hurt. Tiny sat protectively sat her side, his large brown eyes scanning the area every so often "Everything is okay Tiny." she said as she placed a small hand on his massive head. The mastiff mix let out a small grunt as he heavily plopped down onto his stomach, his chin resting on his large paws. Evelyn giggled then jumped off the chair but stumbled and scarped her right knee "Owwie.." she whined but quickly brushed it off. Her head jerked up when she saw Kenneth, the leader, exit one of the buildings. She gulped and grabbed Tiny's collar, he wasn't very fond of the man. Kenneth approached her with a neutral expression on his face. As he got closer Tiny got up, the 200 pound dog made Evelyn look small and frail. She thought he was going to speak to her but he walked right past her, not saying a word "That was a close one, huh Tiny?" she asked as she gave his head a pat.
Evelyn saw a blonde haired man carrying a dark haired man to another building. Curiosity filled her body "Let's go see!" she beamed to Tiny as she silently trailed behind them. She let them enter the building before peering through a dusty window, she watched the blonde man lay the other onto an old mattress "I wonder what happened?" she whispered before leaving the window and quietly going into the large building. She held onto Tiny's collar so he didn't approach the two men, she stayed in the shadows as her eyes watched them. Suddenly, she heard a skittering noise then Tiny was running away from her "Tiny!" she yelled as quietly as she could, but it was no use. Suddenly she heard a loud squeal and the large dog came back to her, a rabbit in his mouth. Evelyn frowned "You killed him." the dog softly wagged his tail and continued to hold the rabbit in his mouth.

I have wroters block but I'm gonna see what comes out. lol))
Shilow could hear commotion a block away. She looked around before going towards the sound. What she saw was a bit of a shocker. A serpent was attacking a girl and then a man came to her rescue. It sort of reminded her of a storybook scene where the prince rescues the princess. She chuckled quietly as she thiught thise stories she was told as a child. She snapped out of it a moment later and to see that the girl had fainted. She silently trailed behind them. When they went into the building she followed behind and spoke up. "Need some help?" She questioned.

Bryce Eldridge
As the three figures drew closer, Bryce could now see their features clearly. To his disappointment, there were three manticores. He lightly closed his eyes, remembering what his history teacher had said when they were studying mythical creatures. She had explained that manticores were dangerous creatures in the mythology world, as their tails could shoot out poisonous spines to paralyze or kill their prey. He opened his eyes again, sucking in the thick air and nearly coughing. He frowned slightly, a little disgusted by their appearance, which held the head of a man, the body of a red lion, and a tail which seemed like a scorpion's. A trumpet-like screech came from the middle one, who seemed to be the one in control. When the sound escaped the lips of the beast, the two glanced at each other, before springing forward, now picking up their pace. However, instead of running, they trotted, as if it were a casual lunch. Yet, a small shriek came from Aja's mouth as she violently shook her brother.
"Bryce! What do we do?" Panic filled her eyes as her gaze darted around, obviously searching for a place to hide. "Didn't you bring some sort of we?pon before we left?" Aja clutched the flashlight in her hand even tighter as she began to tremble. Instantly, Bryce's hand shot down to his pocket, where his hunting knif? was tucked in. Quickly unsheathing it, he squeezed it. He hadn't used this hunting knif? in a while, but surely his skills hadn't left him? He had hunted a few times, but his main targets were only deer and geese. He cursed silently for not bringing a gun. Aja's voice brought him back in reality as she asked whether he could use it or not.
"'Course," he huffed, not wanting to alarm his sister even more. But she'll find out eventually, he silently reminded himself. Slipping the case of the hunting knif? into his pocket, he carefully touched the tip and side of his blade. It was somewhat sharp, but he hoped it was enough to at least give a decent stab to the creatures. Speaking of which. Drawing his attention to the two monsters as they neared, he eyed them carefully. They were not as large as the one in control and seemed a little nervous at the sight of the we?pon. Good. Bryce shuffled back, slightly bumping into Aja. Without needing words, his sister slowly backed away, before slipping into a small crack between two buildings, which seemed - surprisingly - undamaged.
At the sudden movement, one creature's eyes darted over to the crack, where Aja had slipped in. Bryce immediately stepped in front of it, blocking the manticore's view. The beast gave a hiss of annoyance, before casually nudging its companion. As if on agreement, they both nodded, before abruptly turning and swishing their tail to and fro. Sharp spikes glistened in the faint light, causing Bryce to move back a few more steps. He couldn't make his move since he was afraid that the manticores might flick out their spikes, and he definitely did not want to be paralyzed or killed just yet. He quickly glanced towards Aja and mouthed to her to give him the flashlight, and she did. However, when her arm flashed out and threw the flashlight, a glisten of alarm swept through the creatures. Instantly, Bryce ducked and did a failed-roll into the crack, banging his hip against the wall. Pain shot up his body, and a groan escaped his lips, but he quickly scooted into the crack as a flash of spikes flew past him, barely missing.
Aja's finger moved and poked him in the ribs. She received a harsh glare in return, but she ignored him and gestured towards the darkness. Confused, Bryce pushed himself up and squinted into the darkness. As his vision adjusted, he noticed a faint outline of a door. What's that doing there for? He gave a swift nod, before ushering Aja forward. As they approached, he squeezed past his sister and grabbed the doorknob, before turning it. It didn't budge.
"Is it locked?" Aja moved closer to see better. Bryce felt her breath tickle his neck, and he immediately shifted his position. "Here; let me try." The two switched positions - though they had a little trouble - and Aja grasped the doorknob. At the sound of a trumpet-like scream, she moved quickly, yanking at the doorknob once she had turned it. As if on cue, the door swung opened, and the two immediately tumbled in and into the darkness, allowing the door to slam shut behind them.

Njal Sverrsson
StatsNjal let out a small huff as he folded the cloth so that another cleaner side was exposed - the side he had used to wipe his brother's face was absolutely crimson with blood and brown with dirt and dust. He poured more water on the exposed side, not really caring that the water in the bottle was about to finish. They would be going out soon anyway, they would surely find a source of water for him to keep. He focused on Kolr as he gently dabbed near the younger's black eye, reminding himself to go get some ice packs from the supply buildings. He put the cloth down, shifting a little lower and feeling his chest, pressing down a little to see where the ribs had fractured. The older was just about to shift them back into place, when he heard a skittering sound, like claws scraping against the floor behind him.
He immediately turned, hand removing the gun from it's holster in his belt and aiming it at where he heard the sounds, coming from a corner shrouded in shadows. He instinctively shifted to block his brother. However, fright and anger shifted into confusion and curiosity when from the same spot came a harsh whisper, calling out something like 'tiny'. Or was it shiny? Nonetheless, the voice was fairly high-pitched and small, as though it didn't belong to an adult. What was even stranger afterwards was a weird squeal, then a large dog moving into the corner, where the same voice came again, saying something to the dog. Slowly, he lowered his gun, squinting his eyes. Was there really a kid here? He knew it was possible, but rare - Kenneth had little patience for children.
"...Hello?"

Natalia Sofress
To be careful while in a hurry is extremely difficult. To Natalia, although she was used to it, it was one of the hardest tasks she had come across since the earthquake. Her right hand closed tightly around the handle of her knife, hidden behind her back. Instead of glancing around her in all directions, she kept her striking eyes fixed on Jakub who would be sure to warn here if danger was near.
It only took her a few long minutes to reach the borderline of the territory and she quickly crossed it, her eyes now scanning for the only person she truly hated. With Jakub close at her heels and her hand brushing the fur on the back of his head, she made her way over to an old wooden bench on a sidewalk and took a seat. She examined her bleeding knuckles further, picking at the raw skin and testing out the movement of her hand. No broken bones. What a relief.
It had only been a few minutes when the 20 year old saw someone -or, rather, something- that caused her to stand up and scan her surroundings for the quickest escape route. Standing A few hundreds yards away was Kenneth, exiting one of the buildings. Natalia's mind searched for the safest route. Climb a tree? No, too obvious. Leave the territory? No, too dangerous. Her eyes rested on the building in which he had came from. Perfect.
Making sure to blend into the crowd, she kept her icy eyes trained on the concrete beneath her as she crossed the short distance to the building. Shoving her hands into her pockets, which were filled by some useful items she had picked up, the girl shaved the door open with all of her weight. She didn't think anyone had noticed her hasty exit, but she locked the doors just in case. A sigh was on the verge of escaping her lips when a voice caused her to turn, her knife held out protectively. It was a deep voice, coming from the center of the room. She screwed her eyes to just make out two figures, one lying down and the other crouching over his companion.
A low rumble of a growl began to erupt from Jakub's throat, his fur raised in defense. Surprisingly, he wasn't looking at the figures in the center of the room, but in the far corner. Natalia dug her hands into his fur, "Shh, Jakub." She whispered to sooth the brute.

Evelyn Sawyer
Health: 19/20
Injuries: Scraped knee
Evelyn froze when she heard a man's voice, then shortly after she heard a low growl. She peered around a crate and saw a woman and her dog, she gulped and crouched down, holding onto Tiny, who had dropped the rabbit. The young girl wasn't sure what to do, she just wished Anya was here. After some thought she got to her feet and brushed off the dust from her light blue t shirt before stepping out into the dim light. Her dog stayed close to her side, his body in a protective stance, prepared for anything. She looked at the woman then the men "Hi.." she peeped as she looked at the ground. She tried not to show fear but she couldn't help it, her small hands trembled and her knees shook. She quickly grabbed Tiny's collar for reassurance, she knew he would protect her if he had to. She hazel eye finally looked away from the floor and to the people in front of her "I was just looking around.." she lied, she didn't want to tell them that she was spying. Tiny let out a loud bark as he hackles raised "No Tiny." she scolded, he listened and relaxed.

Jake Williams
Health; 17/20. A few scratches and bruises.
The dilapidated building creaked and swayed with crumbling walls of concrete tumbling down in the other rooms. Jake's arms shifted, pulling the girl closer as he carried her limp body towards a larger corner of the building. He cautiously laid her atop a fallen concrete column, before tossing the bag she carries beside her. His ears rang with adrenaline, his nerves remained shot. Yes, he was a solider. No, he wasn't prepared for this. His fingers unconsciously gripped his gun tighter as footsteps echoed behind him. And even before she spoke, he whirled around, flicking his gun up to aim it at the strange figure hiding within the shadows. "I've been searching for survivors for days, and out of nowhere I find two?" He grunted quietly, keeping his gun raised. If it wasn't creatures threatening them, it was bandits. "State your name." He barked, stepping sideways to block the unconscious girl from view, and from possible threat. "I said state your name he repeated, his voice not of a threat, but of caution.

Analyse Mcallister
She goes by the name of Analyse Mcallister, she is of the female. Analyse is a young woman who is the age of 21 years olf. She does travel these parts 'alone' as some might say but she is accompanied by her two canines- Condren and Fletcher. She is currently located in a building and soon moves into the streets.
Health: 18/20
Injuried: a few scratches and a few bruises
Company: Fletcher her merle German Shepherd|Male. Condren her Catahoula Leopard dog|Male.
A sigh blew bast the brunettes lips as she alertly clambered across fallen buildings that lined the cracked streets. The scratches on her cheek, forehead and knee stung from the day she had gotten them - without a first aid kit she was unable to fix them up, but luckily they had begun to scab over. Raising a hand she wiped the tips of her fingers across her head roughtly, getting rid of an itch that had irritably appeared.
Her green eyes scanned her surroundings, she hadn't seen any of those 'mythical' creatures in days and when she did she had always went unnoticed - eventhough this was a good thing she wouldn't mind having an interaction by one - not phyiscally touch one or anything, that would just be stupid. But an encounter that lasten longer than a few seconds.
Giving her head a brisk shake Analys cursed at herself under her breath, being out in the streets wasn't really a good time to be getting lost in her thoughts - especially with certain dangerous creatures and not to mention a dangerous gang she had seen not to long ago, whether they were bandits or just plain slaughterers they didn't seem like nice people and the least she could do was stay away from them. Her two comapnions had now completely gone out of sight - which did worry her slightly. Pouting her lips she managed to quietly whistle and as predicted her two companions came bouncing back. Smiling, she crouched down and grabbed both dogs in either arm petting them roughly "Stay close you two" she ordered and thatust what them did. The streets remained silent and rather creepy, the dark skies not making it any easier to deal with.
But the sound of a sudden shriek caused the young female to gasp and whip around, something large had landed on the ground near by causing the groud to shake - stretching out her arms and flattening her hands in order to keep herself balanced. Then it was, she noticed this greature was those known as 'serpents or something. It was long and black, looked like a snake - but somehow this one dropped from a building? What ever it was she wasn't sticking around. As the creature continued to shriek and flip around something in the air she assembled her two companions to follow. Pressed against the walls in the shadows Analyse was now attempting to go unseen to a more safer place - but the crumbling buildings were making this a challange.

Shilow's body tensed and she stepped back when he pointed a gun at her. She shook her head in an irritated manner. "The names Shilow, now can ya please lower that thing before it goes off." She snapped irritably. She took a step closer, grabbing hold of her bag and pulling out a bottle of water. "I have water if you need it." She sated. "And before you even bother asking, no im not removing my weapons." She said glancing at him. "Now are you going to accept the help, or are you gonna be stupid and turn it down?"

Njal Sverrsson
StatsJust as Njal was about to get up and try to see the girl clearer, the sound of the door opening quickly and shutting caught his attention. He raised his gun back up, muzzle this time pointing at the door, where a woman and her dog stood. The worrying part was how he noticed that this woman wielded a knife as well. She could be just a random stranger, but it was most likely she was a member of Conquest. Whether she was willingly or not, he didn't know. He narrowed his eyes, shifting slightly to a half-crouch, ready to stand if a fight broke out.
At the sound of a growl, he cast his gaze to the lady's dog, but found that it wasn't looking at him, but rather at the girl. He looked between the two females, until the youngest person in the room stood and walked out where they could see her better. Njal couldn't hide his smile when she spoke - He always had a strange soft spot for children.
He did startle slightly when the girl's dog suddenly let out a loud bark that echoed around the otherwise quiet room. It made him realise that the other two people had a dog with them. He didn't get Vendla, for their greyhound was currently leashed and trapped in one of the sleeping quarters. Their dog had bitten Kenneth before so it didn't come as a surprise when their dog would be forcefully kept in a room - and sometimes muzzled - while Kenneth dealt with the brothers in another place. He winced, regretting not fetching the dog. First thing Kolr would want was Vendla. He made a small note to himself to get the greyhound later, once he had done what he could to help his younger brother. He shifted again, nodding to the girl. "...Alright then. You're welcome to stay here." He mumbled. Not like he could tell her to get out, this building basically belonged to Kenneth.
He turned his gaze to the other standing at the door, mouth opening to ask what she was doing, when a small groan behind him stopped his words.

Kolr Sverrsson
StatsThe first thing he felt was pain, blooming across his torso and throbbing in his head, especially his left eye. Kolr swallowed a cry of agony and instead cracked open the other eye, letting his gaze wander about the room.
He immediately noticed the big bulk in front of him that was his brother, back currently facing him. In front of him was a young girl, and even though he couldn't see, he knee there was something else at the door - Njal was looking at that spot, and there was a growl emitting from the place. Upon seeing the other two people in the room, Kolr instinctively tensed, though he regretted the decision when the pain in his torso just worsened. He fell limp, a groan forcing it's way past his lips as his fingers dug into the mattress underneath. He faintly heard his name being called and a large hand that grabbed his arm, both belonging to his brother.

Natalia Sofress
Although she did not mean for it to, a soft smile arose on her lips as the young girl came into view. It had been a while since she had seen someone so young still alive, she dropped her arm that held the knife and scratched behind Jakub's ear, who was now silent yet still guarded. Natalia turned her icy gaze back to the two figures in the center of the room, her posture was still rigid as she let out a slow breath as if she had been holding it in.
"... Alright then. You're welcome to stay here." A mumble escaped the conscious man's lips, referring to the little girl. Natalia was just beginning to consider facing Kenneth rather than be in this socially awkward situation when a low groan sounded from the man lying on the ground. It was a groan filled with agony. She couldn't help it. She had to help, to do what was right. Digging her good hand into her deep jacket pocket, she pulled out a roll of bandages and an unused ice pack. After a moment of hesitation, she crouched down and thrusted her arm forward in a neat arm and let go of the two items. They slid across the slightly uneven ground- landing a few inches short of the two men.
-Sorry for the shortness, I'm feeling quite illiterate today xD-

Jake Williams
Health; 17/20 Scraped and bruised.
The distant clattering of falling concrete and bars rang about in the building. Jake's tensed arm raised higher, aiming the gun more direct at the stranger. Her smart remarks and quick tongue drove an irritated groan from Jake. He had little patience for snarky remarks, or insistant figures. His eyes examined the girl as she slippee out water, offering her help. Jake hesitated, before lowering his weapon and reaching behind him in his own bag. He held up the bottle of water, shaking it weakl "I suppose I'm going to be stupid and reject your help." He turned on his heels, placing the water beside the unconscious girl. He had one ignorant survivor on his hands, he didn't need two. He kept his gun close at hand, lifting the girls head to feel her pulse. It was slow, she was rested. Well, he had little more to do than begin a fire. "There's an abandoned military camp two miles down, I came from there. Left behind supplies if you require any. I'm sure you can get there fine on your own." He called out, not bothering to glance back at the girl. He flicked his two rocks together against the small pile of sticks he had bundled together. A spark ignited, and the fire caught on. It was small, but it would do. He leaned back against the fallen column that the girl laid upon, resting an elbow upon his knee. The sun was falling, and soon the streets would be far more dangerous than now.

"Who would have that someone could be so stupid?" She muttered. She shrugged and then turned on her heels. "But you won't last very long with that sort of attitude." She said, smeking at him then walking to the exit. "I suppose I could see what you left behind." She muttered and exited te building, not waiting for another word. She made her way down the road and towards the said spot. She hoped she'd make it their before the sun set quite frankly because there were perticular monsters that came out st that time and preferred not to get into anything with.
Pardon shortness/mistakes. I'm in a hurry.))

(I made a new character for those who don't have anybody to interact with. c: )

Name
Lynn Nivalderr
Gender
Female
Age
18
Group
Solace
Personality
Lynn is usually pretty quiet everywhere she goes, but when she does speak she can be either sassy or snappy. Either response is always sarcastic. She's stubborn and likes to do things her way, and has a habit of changing plans at the last minute. She has a great amount of patience and is very calm. When she does lose her temper, however, she can be quite the violent creature. Many people see her as a tough and unbreakable person, but she's just like everyone else and has a soft side.
History
Lynn has had a harsh story of her own. She was an orphan dumped in the streets, and was raised by a kind group of beggars. When she was around 6-7, she was forced to work in order to get money to buy food and whatnot. As a mere young child, there was hardly any proper jobs, but a man standing on the sidewalks had offered her one - to be a bird trainer and help out with entertaining the public. Despite having a great fear of birds then, she was desperate and accepted.
It took her nearly two years to fully get over her fear and properly train the troublesome young hawk she had rescued. She travelled around with the performing group, and they provided her with a home while she did. However, on one show, there was a freak accident where her pet and another bird had fought. In an attempt to break them up, the 'lead man' of the show got his eye blinded by her hawk's claws. Afraid that some crime would be on her hands (She was responsible for the hawk), She took this chaotic moment to run away, together with her avian friend.
She moved to live on the streets again, and once more desperate for money, joined a strange gang. She learnt how to handle guns and was taught how to fight. After getting over the shock of killing the first person, she forced herself to stop thinking so much and just followed the leader's orders. She stayed that way until the Earthquake hit.
She survived afterwards and started to wander around, unable to find anyone she knew, though she managed to find a few mangled bodies of her gang-members. She avoided the creatures and killed any if she had to. Lynn reunited with her avian friend after they found each other, then proceeded to join Solace when she heard of Kenneth's group. She isn't trusted all that well since she behaved as though she was someone from Conquest, so she usually does her own things alone.
Description
Lynn has pale skin and messy raven-black hair that curls at the ends, hanging around her shoulder/chest level. She has alert grey-green eyes and stands at 5'7. Usually wears a dark red long-sleeved top and black trousers, together with a black leather jacket and grey sneakers. Wields her own knife and a small gun that belongs to Solace. She also has black gloves covering her hands.
Companions
Dovev, a trained White Hawk.
Others
?She has a fear of thunder/lightning.
?She has a sweet tooth.
?Lynn has a weird habit of shaking her hands when she's nervous or deep in thought.

Dovev
A pretty and elegant male white hawk named Dovev. He was nearly put down as he was useless to the show, born with one blind eye. Lynn stole him away and kept him however, training him properly until he could fly and move around with only one eye to use for sight. He seems to not want to leave Lynn and stays with her, though not always - He tends to fly off for fun.

Lynn Nivalderr
StatsThe only sound in the store was the harsh breathing of a young lady, who was currently crouching, leaning slightly on a broken vending machine. Fresh, dull red blood was splattered on her clothes, staining the black jacket and blending together with her red top. Grey-green eyes were fixated on an unmoving body of what looked like a large dead dog, jaws hanging open to reveal rows of teeth, too many to be in a mouth of a normal dog. The store was in a huge mess, the counter nearly broken in two, empty racks toppled down together with torn out pages of magazines scattered around the area.
Slowly, as if she was in a trance, Lynn tore her gaze away, instead shifting upwards to glare at a unnaturally white bird standing on a shelf that had somehow avoided the wreckage. She huffed, a hand pressing against the wall beside her to brace her as she stood up, wincing when the wound on her shoulder was jostled about. The Solace member brushed herself off, giving a final glance at the dead creature beside her. She lifted her left arm up, smirking when the white avian flew over to land on her arm, talons digging slightly into her skin to steady itself. "You're lucky you've got wings, Dovev." Lynn muttered, giving a light scratch to the hawk's neck, to which the bird replied with a small croak. Smiling slightly, she brushed back the white feathers for a moment before stepping over the corpse of the creature and continuing her raid around the store.
She silently cursed the creature for giving her wounds to deal with - it was quite a walk back to the Solace territory, she had strayed a little too far away. She stuffed a packet of bread into the small bag at her side, pursing her lips in frustration as she gave a last look around the place before stepping out of the store through the front door, making the broken bell let out a weak ring. Now she had to get back to Solace's Territory, and on the way try to find a market. Maybe they'd have fish for Dovev, if griffins and whatever creature hadnt stolen them. Sighing to herself, she looked up at the dark skies before walking away.(http://i59BannedImageSite/dwdw8z.jpg)
