THE TRIBE


how-to-create-a-post-apocalyptic-city-in-photoshop-l.jpg



Five hundred years ago, several men discovered an ancient power, which was bonded to their souls. To protect their secret, they banded together and formed the Tribe. It would be this group that would keep the power alive. To each son or daughter born of the original Host, the power remained within them. And so the process would continue for the rest of time.

Five hundred years later, the next generation of the Tribe has emerged. In a shattered world torn apart by the world's nuclear weapons malfuctioning and bringing an end to society as we know it, they are divided across the world and unaware of their heritage or even each other. It's the year 2025 and there are arms races to see who will restore the world ... or destroy it.

Each Host of the Tribe is scattered across the globe, either living peacefully in a colony or fighting for their lives in the post-apocalyptic cities. A prophecy, dating back to one hundred years ago, foretells of the Hosts returning to reunite once more and repair the damage to the entire world. But will they work together or let personal affairs get in the way?


RULES

Only those who have been invited can join. This is a private Roleplay. Therefore, I cannot accept anyone who hasn't been invited and they should not post in the thread.

There is to be no powerplaying, godmodding and metagaming. Powerplaying means controlling a character that is not yours, godmodding means your character being impossibly powerful and metagaming means your character knowing about another/situation that they really shouldn't.

Those participating may only be allowed to create one character. This goes for each and every participant.

For each participant joining, his or her character may only have one offensive, defensive and tactical power. This is three powers in total.

You must have good literacy. Perfect literacy isn't necessarily required, but other people have to be able to understand your posts clearly.

There is to be no killing. The only exception to this rule is kiling off non-playable characters that are yours. To kill off one that belongs to another participant, you must ask them for permission first.

Name
Melinda Ayla Reed

Age
17

Gender
Female

Powers
Melinda possesses three supernatural powers blessed to her as being one of the many Hosts from the Tribe: super strength, teleporation and molecular manipulation.

Melinda's super strength has already enhanced her body somewhat with muscle and allows her to have strength far beyond that of a typical human being. Regardless of having this power, Melinda can still tire out like a regular person.She can also teleport around almost anywhere, although this ability is limited since she cannot teleport anywhere she wants.

Teleporting drains Melinda the most. She prefers not to do it since she can sometimes end up somewhere unfamiliar and only uses this power in emergencies or when scouting out an area. If Melinda were to teleport constantly, from location to location, then she would tire out easily and pass out. This tiredness from constant teleportation can range from ten minutes to an hour. Some teleportation is better for Melinda since she does not tire out as easily.

One more ability is the power to manipulate molecules. This is essentially freezing time and blowing things up. However, she can stop particular molecules at a time instead of everything at once. Melinda does not like to use this power regularly since she virtually doesn't have much control over it as of yet. This does not drain Melinda as much as teleportation, but it is not advisable for her to be using it on a daily basis. Not will it only drain most of her energy, but the power will become unstable until she can regain herself again.

Personality
Melinda is cold and quiet to those who do not know her, although this is of no fault of her own; it is wholly due to personal reasons. A woman of a few words, she is known to have a sensitive side. This is shown through her fear of being touched and her constant struggles to emotionally control herself in certain situations. This phobia comes from reminders of her traumatic past bring on this unstable side. Situations like when someone is being touched or hurt violently triggers this unstability and may cause her to go into a feral rage.

When around people she knows, however, Melinda appears to be relaxed and talks more. She knows where her sense of morality lies, although her actions can often question that. Melinda can be rude and unthoughtful sometimes, but makes up for this, unusually, with her empathy. She desperately craves to be human rather than a Host, seeing her birth as an unfortunate accident, and so this makes her self-loathing.

Appearance

Melinda stands tall at 5'9", bearing long black hair and strikingly piercing light blue eyes. If one were to look closely, there is a small silver glint in her iris. She has a diagonally-shaped scar across her right arm, which she chooses to often conceal by tying a bandana around it.

Background
Melinda was born April 2nd, 2008, in the midst of an oncoming apocalyptic world. It was said her father, an engineer, was killed due to poison gas and her mother died naturally after childbirth. Therefore, she was automatically orphaned. For the majority of her life, she lived in a small colony amongst dozens of other orphans. Her upbringing was tough, especially since the world was one constantly changing and going through dark, troubled times. Whilst everyone looked to making the most of what they had in the colony, Melinda became the black sheep, yearning to discover more about herself and her dead parents.

When she was twelve years old, Melinda's confidence stumbled to an all-time low when one of the carers started taking advantage of her. He abused her on a daily routine, prompting her to question why he was doing this to her. As soon as she tried telling someone what was going on, he tried to rape her. In an emotional moment, Melinda's powers activated and she accidentally knocked out the carer. As revenge for what he had caused, she used her newfound power to take him to an apocalyptic city and left him there to fend for himself. Melinda returned to the colony thereafter, keeping the details of what the carer did and her new power to herself.

Over the next few years, she soon discovered two new powers that emerged. Melinda was now able to teleport and manipulate molecules in the atmosphere. Against the wishes of the colony, she decided to leave and ventured out into the apocalyptic cities to search for answers. A year has passed and Melinda is still out there, armed with her powers and the skills to survive in the outside world. She has encountered hardly anyone, realising that those still alive are now retreating to the nearest available colonies. And as her journey continues, she is under the belief that she is the only one of her kind. How wrong she is.

Appearance: http://media.photobucket.com/image/bayonetta luka/TheStudList/Luka02.jpg?o=2

Background: At the age of 10 he witnessed his parents dying from a drunken attack by a group of teenagers, since then his life turned dramatically worse. He grew up cold and alone, living off thievery, stealing from food stores to keep himself alive. As he hit puberty his body began to undergo changes, though not in relation to his puberty. His body felt lighter and fires started to break out all around him, prompting him to life in isolation to avoid hurting people.

As he grew up in this isolation he slowly began to regain control of his new found abilities, of which he dubbed a 'curse' until he felt ready to re-enter civilisation, more adult now he managed to make his way into a home, living off whatever he could steal while hounded by people who were suspicious of him.

Name
Caitalyna Maylene Raine

Age
19

Gender
Female

Powers
Cyrokinesis - Ability to manipulate and control ice molecules. Able to form ice from even the water molecules in the air.

Weather Manipulation
- Ability to control and manipulate the weather.

Superhuman Reflexes - Reflexes that are far sharper than any human can ever hope to reach.

Personality
Cruel, sadistic and cold. Three words that describe Caitalyna almost to a tee. With no regards for other peoples feelings, Cat is manipulative and incredibly honest to the point of being nasty. She cares not for the impact her words may have on another and with often drive her point home just to inflict as much emotional pain as she can.

Cat is sadistic both emotionally and physically. Whilst she enjoys seeing the emotional destruction she can rain down upon her victim, she takes as much perverse pleasure from torturing them physically. With a lust for violence and the more sinful things in life, Caitalyna is definitely one who cannot be trusted and should quite possibly be avoided even at the best of times. Calculating, secretive and as unpredictable as the weather, Cat is an extremely difficult woman to both understand and come to terms with.

Appearance
At a slender 5'6'', Cat is neither remarkably tall nor ridiculously short. Her long, curly brown hair falls past her shoulders, framing her face in a way that perfectly accentuates her smouldering golden brown eyes. She has recently had her hair highlighted, blonde streaks weaving through it and catching the light in a way that makes it seem almost as though it is on fire.

Cait has a slender figure due to the many years she spent training and perfecting her natural reflexes and flexibility. Whilst not the most endowed, her curves are ample enough to define her as a young woman. She dresses in simple outfits, typically of leather, that show off her long legs and well toned physique - not out of a need to showcase herself, but simply because she feels more comfortable.


Background
Caitalyna was born on the 21st of June, 2006, into the Raine family. The youngest of three girls and one boy, she was automatically doted upon by the rest of the family. For the first five years of her life, she lived perfectly normally - or as normally as one could live in a post-apocalyptic environment at least. The day after her fifth birthday marked the start of Cait's fate, however.

Strange and fatal accidents took the lives of her eldest siblings. The eldest and only son was the first to die. He was found with his head buried under five feet of sand. His death was reported as "Dying whilst playing in the sand pit" ... but the Raine family had never owned a sand pit. A year passed before the eldest daughter died, freezing to death on what had originally started as a warm summers day. Finally, the two remaining sisters both died on the same day, struck by lightning when a freak lightning storm struck their home.

There was only one connection to each of these freak accidents - Caitalyna found unconscious close to the corpses. At first her parents thought nothing of this seemingly innocent fact, too lost in the grief of losing their children. However, in time, Caitalyna's darker side fully emerged and her father stood by, watching in terror as his little angel choked the life out of his wife. The young girl then took the life from her father before escaping the home and fleeing across the wasteland to someplace new.

Death and destruction followed in her wake for the following thirteen years as her powers began to manifest enough for her to control them. And now she sits and waits, along with the one person she trusts. Something is coming. Something is going to happen and Cait will meet it head on... but to aid or destroy it is anyone's guess.
