Maya the Siren
Does that sounds familiar Scotty?

Someone else here plays borderlands

Actually I don't. Coincidence?

[Mr. MR]

Are you sure????

Spoiler Alert!

[Neosquid]

"Maya" was a mild reference to Phoenix Wright, and the "Siren" came from the Ghost thing. Cause Sirens are kinda like ghosts, I guess.

[Mr. MR]

I don't know how RPs work so here is my prologue or just a short scene of my character

Without Turning Back

A cloud of ash came up after each footfall. He looked up and stopped. Before him was a sea of black. He was getting closer. He continued to walk for an hour. Step after step. The smell of burning petroleum permeated his nostrils. He looked up. What stood before him now used to be a gas station. He remembered all the fuss; Soaring gas prices, OPEC. He chuckled. How little it mattered now. He walked through it maintaining his path. After an hour or so he looked up again. In the distance he could see houses towards the east. He stopped and headed towards them. "Now we're getting somewhere" he said under his breath. The sound of crunching ash was replaced by the hollow sounds of concrete. He turned his head to the side. There was a marking on each of the doors. He said them as he walked by, "X X X X X X X X X." The markings where made with red and white spray paint. Some of the markings were just an "X". Others where a circle with an "X" on top of them. He continued, "X X X X X X O." He stopped. He shifted his direction pulling out an old fire axe and moved towards the "O". On approach he check the sides of the house. "Pretty spaced out." he muttered stepping on the porch, "It should be alright." He lightly turned the door handle. The handle turned. He gripped his axe tightly and opened the door. The hinges announced his entry with a loud creaking noise. He paused for a moment. Voices could be heard from upstairs. He could not hear the words very well but he could hear the stress and annoyance in them. They knew he was inside. He bent low and quickly entered. A quick glance around showed him the stairs were behind the kitchen which came down on the living room. He entered the kitchen. He could see the zigzagging pattern of the underside of the stairs. He heard footsteps. They were heading for the stairs. Dust from the ceiling came down on him with each step. It seemed only one was sent to investigate. He quickly calculated the number of steps it would take to climb down the flight, 13. He had about 7 seconds. One, he quickly glanced at the cupboards, all where open. Two, he quietly made his to the kitchen table. Three, he grabbed the vase. Four, quietly made his way back. Five, he made his way to the living room. Six he hurried to a blind spot right next to the stairs. Seven, he threw the vase across the room. Startled, the footsteps unloaded two bursts from a shotgun at the direction of the sound. His presence was confirmed. He quickly jumped out and swung his axe. The axe found its mark on the robbers head. He quickly placed his boot on the robbers face and dislodged his axe, he had no time to lose. He quickly made his way up the stairs. Just before he reached the top he saw the tip of a double barrel shotgun. He bent low, grabbed the barrel with one hand, and pulled using his body weight. The robber was pulled down to the ground. Still holding on to the barrel he rammed the axe's head into the robbers neck. The robber fired one shot before he received a swift kick to the temple. The second robber was unconscious. A third robber rounded the corner. He had two options. He could charge him with his axe or use the shotgun from the second robber. He chose the second one. He quickly snatched the gun from the second robbers hands, turned the shotgun while pumping it, and fired. The third robber fell without a word. He heard a voice, "Did you get him?" He picked up his axe and opened the door. The fourth robber dropped a sac of provisions on the floor making a load crack. The robber glanced at his gun which was laying on the opposite wall and glanced back at the intruder who was shaking his head. The robber said to words, "James Nolen."

"Yup, that's me." he said raising his axe. He brought the axe down with great momentum. The fourth robber fell to the ground. Jim searched the robbers body taking a cigarette box and a lighter. He then wiped the axe head on the robbers shirt, took the bag of provisions, and walked towards the stairs. Jim glanced down at the third robber and stooped down taking a can of beer from the robber's jacket pocket and placing it in the bag. He made his way to the second robber and took his shotgun and his rounds placing the rounds in his bag. He made his way down stairs. Jim unstrapped the two shotgun ammo belts from around the second robbers waist and shoulder placing it around his own shoulder. When he made it down stairs he opened the bag withdrew a magazine rolling it up. Jim put his axe on his belt, pulled out his lighter, and lit the top making his way to the broken back window. He held the magazine up to the curtains. They lit up in flames. He walked to the front window and lit the curtains on fire and discarded the magazine on the living room rug. Jim grabed the bag, flung it over his shoulder, walked outside, and started down the street saying, "X X X X.........." without turning back.

@Bodine thanks man, the Golf Club is through inheritance reasons and it might not exactly be the best weapon but it's better then going bare handed.

@Mr. I had no idea! I completely forgot about her being in Borderlands 2! Some coincidence that is.

@Squid If there was one thing i'd change its the whole happy mental brain problem killing machine thing. That shits whack, otherwise everything else is fine by me really.

And thus, the first looter SU joins the apocalypse. T'was only a matter of time.

Trent and Jessie loot to survive.

Mr. MR: excellent prologue for your character. Make an SU and its approved.

[Splash_King]

^ I wouldn't really call 'em looters, I'd call 'em survivors (well, obviously lawl). Mr. Nolen seems rather cold blooded and clearly a dedicated thief (pre-apocalypse as well, we don't yet know...), so the derogatory title of looter fits 'em better than it would Trent 'n Jessie IMO.

[Bodine]

I noticed nobody is getting in on the Pulse BioCorp war. Is essential for the plot that we move that story along, I'd hate to be the only one to do so. If you have trouble coming up with characters there are a list of characters I used in the prologue th I won't be using for the RP. Specialist Williams could be a key character in the RP, as well as Esper if anyone wants to take them.

[Neosquid]

Sorry man, but I don't do more than one character. But if a certain fish wants to get over his silly RP retirement, then you'd have a guy.
