After the End (chapter 2 just posted)

Alright, this is a story I've had going around in my head for a while. Basically it's what happens after some cataclysmic event ends civilization. [b][i][u]No more character applications will be accepted. Sorry, but I didn't anticipate getting so many. Some people are going to end up as bit parts. If you wouldn't mind getting just a bit part (your name will be mentioned. You may get a line) send me a PM with what side you want to be on.[/b][/i][/u] That's it! My next post will be the prolouge.

  • After the End- Prolouge Who could have forseen what would happen? The end of everything we knew, cause by our own ignorance. Sure, some scientists and politicians saw it coming and tried to tell everyone. But no one belived them. And the ones that did were too stubborn to change. We went on with our normal lives just polluting and destroying our planet. That's how it had been since the beggining of civlization. And that's how it was at the End of civilization. When the End happened coastal areas were flooded by the melting ice caps. Forests became deserts. Deserts themselves became too hot for anyone to live there. Everywhere was a wasteland. The huiman population dwindled to barely over one million. 5,006,000,000 people dead almost overnight. The first people to be killed off were the scientists. People yelled "WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN US?! WHY DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?!" as they hung the scientists. People always look for a scapegoat when bad things hapen, even if they're blaming the people who tried to help. And besides, why would we need men of higher learning in this new world? Next to go were the politicians. While they were burned at the stake the people screamed "WHY DIDN'T YOU CHANGE?! WHY DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?!" And again, why would they be needed in a world without order? Eventually the warlords took over. They were all merely evil money grabbers and drug lords out to make a quick buck. They brutally desposed of anyone who chalenged them. Depraved public massacres and executions of dissidents were held to keep the people in line. Once they had taken over everyone they warlords fought each other for control. One came out on top. His name was Evilcam. Evilcam was a mysterious man. No one, not even his second in command ever saw his face, And he was just as evil as he was enigmatic. He never hesitated to have someone killed, just for the sheer ammusement of watching them die. He sepnt his days inside his armored bunker located in the land once known as Washington D.C., the former capitol for a country based on freedom. He chose it just for the pure irony. But there was one man who opposed Evilcam. He had forgotted his name not long after the End, as a result of evilcam's cruel mental torture. But everyone called him Python. He travelled along gathering an army to destroy Evilcam. On one day he strode into a town adout 300 miles from D.C. He was singing a song written by a man who loved peace enough to fight for it. As he walked into the town square the citizens gathered around to get a look at this strange man. Once a crowd had formed Python finished his song, singing out loudly [i]"A working class hero is something to be. If you want to be a hero, well just follow me! If you want to be a hero, well just follow me..."[/i] More to come later. ~Monty

  • The first chapter will be up tommorow or Monday. (I have to finish writing it and my friend Random Elite has agreed to edit the story for me) [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Tommahawk815 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dranei [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Tommahawk815 its good I am just worried it may get too political......it seems very global warmish......[/quote] It seems like it is simply the cause, I doubt the story will revolve around the whole "Humans alone caused global warming" thing.[/quote]yeah I am just saying even a little mention of it though could lead to trouble....but ah well its still good....reminds me a little bit of Fallout for some reason....just a diffrent reason for the acpocalypse....[/quote] Yes, global warming is the cause, but other than that none of the story will revolve around global warming.

  • After the End, Chapter 1-[i]Working Class Heroes[/i] The people gathered 'round Python stared at him. Studying him. It's not that he himself looked strange by any means. He was of average height, medium build, had some scars, and shoulder length hair that was dark as the eyes of a gorgon. And though his face had the look of a man who had seen more bloodshed than anyone should, it wasn't strange either. No, they stared because of the staggering amount of weaponry he carried. In hip holsters were two Magnum revolvers, and ammo bags circled all the way around his waist. Hanging from his shoulder was a light machine gun. In his hand was a military grade 8 gauge shotgun. Slung across his back was a long range rifle. But, the most impressive of all was the English longsword, hanging in its scabbard below the rifle. "Ahh, I can see I have your attention," Python said to the crowd. "Well, doesn't anyone have anything to say?" A man stepped foward. "My names Camo. Who the hell are you and what do you want" "Thanks for asking. The name... well no one knows my real name. But people call me Python. As for what I want, I want heroes. People unafraid to stand up to the evil stationed 300 miles away in Wahington. I'm gathering an army to defeat Evilcam." "Where do I sign up?" "I like you. Got any weapons?" "Yes sir. My old assault rifle from my days in the military." "A military man eh? Good, good, I can use someone from the military. Now, if you folks will sit tight for a few, I'll call in my commanding officers and they'll help you join." Python walked away, leaving the crowd muttering to themselves. He pulled out an old, battered radio. "Rapt' bring in the commanders." The voice that issued from the radio had a pleasant British accent that communicated Raptorian's friendly nature, but belied his fighting spirit. "Yes 'ir Python. On our way." "Trochannah, bring in the troop carriers. I think we're going to get a lot of recruuits here." "Sir yes sir!" Trochannah Valion was a logistical commander in the army before the End. Damn good driver and planner, and an even better soldier. He was a man suited perfectly for the military. [u]Fifteen minutes later...[/u] "Alright recruits! These fine men behind me are my commandeing officers!", Python bellowed. Turning to the first man he said "This is Raptorian, or Rapt', my second in command. And a man I'm glad to say is a good friend." Raptorian looked a lot like Python, but with a friendlier face. He carried as many armaments as Python, and seem to have an air of loyalty and uty about him. He was the kind of man you knew would stick by you until the job was finished, and after it was done buy you a round of drinks and laugh about the good old days. "Next we have Trochannah Vallion, my logistical and vehicular commander and head mechanic." Trochan was tall, fit, wore a goatee that was out of place with his shaved head, and seemed like another likeable, all around good guy. But he also looked more battle weary than the others. "This is Pyroshark, our hand to hand combat instructor." Pyroshark had a lean build and a scar running down one cheek. By the way he studied the crowd it was evident he was calculating and logical. Oddly enough though, he was eating a pineapple while Python introduced him... "This is Maleman, our armour specialist." It was hard to see what Teh__Maleman looked like, because, as his position implied, he was covered almost completely from head to toe in battle armour. "And finally we have Mischief, a good friend even if he doesn't completely agree with the cause-" "I want to go home," Mischief blurted out. He was also wearing armor, but his sported a gas mask and was as dark as Python's hair. He only appeared to one gun, incontrast to the others, but it was huge. "Ah shut up. Mischief is the heavy weapons commander. Now I want you all to line up in front of the commander of whatever field you think you're best suited for. C'mon Rapt'. Those wanting to join the normal infantry will see Raptorian later." A few mintues later Raptorian and Python walked through the town. "Looks like we've got a lot of new recruits, Pyth," Raptorian said. "Yeah," replied Python, "maybe now we have enough to begin our asault." "I can only hope." "HEY GUYS! Wait up!", Mischief Man's voice came from behind them. "Not many recruits for heavy weapons again?" asked Python. "No. Can't see why. What's more fun than big guns?" "Maybe they're creeped out by that gas mask," Rapt' retorted. "It's better than your horrid teeth." "Shut up you two. Now let's go find the local bar!", Python exclaimed with sudden enthusiasm. His companions shouted in unison, "WOOHOO!" The man who owned the bar, and acted as it's bartender was Irish Kyle. He was, of course, and Irishman and definitely looked it. He was known around town as a hotheaded fighter with an ego to match, but his friends thought of him as the best guy they could know, and the greatest drinking buddy the world had ever seen. He was wiping up the bar when Python, Mischief, and Raptorian walked in. "'Allo there. What can I get fer you foine gentlemen?", Kyle said with a thick accent. "Mischief and me will have bourbon and whiskey," Python answered. "How 'bout you Rapt'?" "I'll have Bacardi and Coke, please." "What're ya, some kind a fruit?", Kyle said jeeringly. "Piss off yout stupid git." "Heh heh heh. I'll get yer drinks." "Kyle return moments later with with a full glass, a bottle of his best bourbon, and tow shot glasses. "'Aven't see you lot 'round 'ere 'fore. You have anything to do with that ruckus in the square?" "Aye, we do," Python said. "We're gathering an army to take out Evilcam. Want to join us?" "Sure. Evilcam's men 'ave been botherin' me of late, and I'd like to ram somethin' up his snotty ass. Sem to think 'e can control the alcohol in me town." "Well we'd love to have you with us then. And we need a new bartender. Last one got shot right in the forehead." "Then I'm the man fer the job." "Good. Now how about some more bourbon?" "Aight. All yer drinks are on the 'ouse." Yes at long last it's the first chapter! If your character hasn't been introduced yet don't worry. Everyone who wants to get in will. More to come later. ~Monty [Edited on 07.24.2007 9:34 PM PDT]
