The Old World (Literate, semi-realistic, mapped, Post-Apocalypse rp)

[Lorris]

Bumping for even more justice! And to let everyone know that I am working on a secret! It will be deployed if, IF mind you, I get at least ten people on this map, not including myself and my sister!

Character Name: Swift

Character Age: young adult

Character Personality: Swift has seemingly impenetrable self confidence, acting proud and assured even in the most dire situations. She tends to demand the spotlight, so to speak, and often acts out to get attention. She is desperately afraid of being alone.

Character Back story: (Careful, I was apparently in a writing mood. Also, due to the fact that all I know about the landscape is that which I've seen in the screenshots, events in the backstory may not be plausible/possible.)

Swift was made to leave home at a young age, traveling with her sister, Fleet. The two were almost inseparable, and swift quickly acclimated to having someone who was always nearby.
To the two of them (Who had never left the den before) even this wasteland seemed like a wondrous place. As they traveled, between hunting and running from predators, they vowed to experience every wonder left behind by the old ones.

It was one fateful day that they arrived at the spire. Crouched in the shadow of the awe-inspiring structure, they did not notice that danger lurked nearby. The canine ran at them, and the sisters fled to the only place that they could find; the spire itself. They were cornered at the base of the massive and dust eroded structure, facing death at the hands of a creature that was so desperately in need of food that it would attack, even when it was outnumbered.

Where the spire jutted out of the earth, was flat, and with nowhere else to go, the sisters struggled to climb the impossibly smooth surface. Unable to climb further, for fear of chocking on the low dust clouds, and with their attacker right below them, Fleet lept at the attacking canine. The force of her attack sent both her and the attacker tumbling down the massive structure. THe frightened Swift remained in her precarious position until night fell, unable to bring herself to face what must surely be a grisly sight below.

As she tried to climb down the slick side of the spire, she slipped, slicing her leg open as she slid down toward the earth. As Swift limped slowly away from the spire, she looked for Fleet, and for their attacker. She found them, some feet away, illuminated by the light of the full moon. Swift felt a sudden crushing loneliness, for as soon as she looked upon her sister's broken body, it was clear that swift was on her own.

Now, swift fears isolation, and hates to travel alone. The spire is no longer a place of hope, but a place of sorrow and loss. Despite this, Swift returns to the alter every full moon to pray for the departed Fleet, and any others that have been lost to the wasteland.

Picture and Description:  Swift has a pelt that is the color of the desert ground, with few remarkable features. Her sharp, backward facing ears, are well adapted to the frequent dust storms that plague the land, as they are able to fold tightly against her head so that dust cannot get in as easily. She also has long legs, and a thick tail to aid her when running, and she relies on her speed, both to hunt and to escape. There is a long scar on her front left leg (the one in the picture) that runs from the bottom of her paw to the elbow.

Character Name:

Adonis

Character Age:

Young Adult - 4 years and 3 months of age.

Character Personality:

Adonis is solitary; he prefers to be on his own, and large groups make him somewhat uncomfortable. However, he does sometimes enjoy the company, and he doesn't like to be totally alone. The presence of one or two other creatures is fine by him, so long as he isn't crowded. He has a very kind heart, especially to those younger than him, but he can be a fierce opponent in battle, being quick, agile and clever. He can often be seen taking in orphans and raising them until they can provide for themselves, or at least leading them to a mother with milk. You could say that he is a sort of Robin Hood in the world of animals, but not to the extremities of causing trouble. He also tends to brood, which makes him very thoughtful, but the doing of a bad deed fills him with a powerful guilt that eats at him.

Character Back story:

0-6 months

Adonis was born near 'The Spire', and was the first of a litter of five. He was the only wolf with a light-grey base pelt, and so his parents, Spark and Feather, deemed him sacred, a ray of hope in a dark and desolate world, giving him the name Adonis after the greek god of beauty and desire, who's circle of life, death and rebirth signified the new world. However, the pups had been birthed early, on their mother and father's way to Sanctuary, where they planned to birth and raise the pups. The last of the litter was born dead. Desperate to protect their remaining children, Spark and Feather managed to carry their small, wolf-like offspring to the place they seeked, though another pup had been lost on the long, hard journey.

Spark provided as best he could for his family; he navigated the crumpled buildings to find the safest, most hard to reach rooms, caught rats, lizards and scruffy birds for his mate, and warded off those trying to harm his children. But when Adonis, his sister and remaining brother, were of age to be weaned, Spark found it increasingly harder and harder to find enough food for his growing 'pack', and took to letting Feather and his children eat first. He later died of starvation.

Feather, distraught by the sudden passing of her mate, was forced to move to a less protected location, on the outskirts of the building they had taken up residence in. However, the lonely fae could not provide for her family on her own, and, after giving them several hunting lessons and other important lectures, left her pups with a broken heart.

7-12

Adonis, Elena and Radja all stuck very close to each other once their mother left. They would take turns hunting and gathering water, and one would always stay up at night to guard. Life was hard for the younglings, but an elderly canine and his feline companion often watched over them and sometimes even gave them food. But soon, even these two left the fast-growing siblings to fend for themselves.

Radja was the first to leave, after becoming fast friends with a fae and her family. When they announced they were moving elsewhere, he went with them, after saying his goodbyes to his siblings. They never saw him again, but he often sent word to them so alert them that he was okay.

Adonis and Elena decided to stay in sanctuary, at least until they were big enough to fend for themselves, but it was evident that Adonis, though close to his sister, was growing weary of her company. He would often sleep in an abandoned corner of the room, or leave for long hunting trips. On their twelfth month of life, the two split off; Elena with a feline friend and Adonis by himself.

13-Present

Adonis became rather solitary, though he watches over other animals and often attempts to help them. His light pelt helped him to keep as cool as possible in the unforgiving heat, and he learned to use certain desert herbs for healing.

Picture and Description:



Adonis can be described as gangly, tall yet lean, but he's almost always considered handsome by those he meets. He has a darker muzzle, with a white chin and two lines leading down from the corners of his mouth. His torso darkens as it gets closer to his rump, and fades to a darker grey before lightening to the original colour at his lower legs. His tail is light grey, almost white, with a white tip. His front toes are white, as is his underbelly and chest, though it is hard to see. He has a white star shape on his forehead. His eyes are a deep and beautiful chocolate brown.

This is a great application; I only have one tiny suggestion but you don't have to do it if you don't want to. Simply, I would suggest adding a slight redness to his pelt so it looks like he belongs in the desert. Other than that, this is a good character and I will send you the password.

[Flarefur]

I tried doing that, but it doesn't look as nice as it was...so I think I'll keep to the original, if that's okay.
