wip intro: Shattered Earth

On an alternate Earth full of strange and bizarre horrors, nothing is as it seems. An enemy might be a friend and that stranger with amnesia might be someone you knew all along…

taglist: @impaledlotus @thelittlestspider​

The current date is February 8th 2005; a not so distant past split off from our reality, where the effects of an anomalous comet, superpowered beings, a brief nuclear exchange, weather control gone wrong, a limited supervolcano eruption, and an alien invasion that the world is only now adjusting to…

The American midwest was destroyed by both a nuclear attack and supervolcano eruption. The eastern seaboard of the US has been under martial law since, and is dis-incorporated. The west coast has been lost to civil war and a DNA altering alien pathogen. Russia took Alaska. Europe was annihilated and now completely abandoned. Global weather systems have been destroyed and the aftermath has left earth in a new ice age. In the early 1960s a slew of nuclear bombs were detonated in the atmosphere above North America, sending out a catastrophic nationwide electromagnetic pulse that destroyed almost all above ground electronics. The US is still in the process of recovering from these events, with the help of some not-so-truly empathetic Martian peacekeepers.

Now is a time of monsters.

So what is SE truly about? SE is, ultimately, a sci-fi fantasy, dark comedy, horror action story about killing the monsters. More importantly however, SE is a story about two teenagers having to grow up way too fast in a world that stubbornly refuses to end.

Status: Almost entirely planned (Arc 1 is at least); Outlining, scripting

ok so ive decided to post dez and franks new bios just by themselves…just for funzies….

NAME: Desmond Oswald Arkady

DOB: November 30th, 1991; 14 years of age

HISTORY: Son of rancher Sloane Arkady and medical nurse Ed Arkady, and unknowing grandnephew of the famous superscientist Lupe Altena. Has two older siblings and one younger sister. Throughout grade school Desmond was noted for having poor social skills and having a severe temper; he was bullied and very much alone during this time. His mother was emotionally and physically absent while his father became emotionally and verbally abusive as he grew older. Eventually his parents split, Ed taking Desmond and his brother Jerome, with Sloane (under legal definition) ‘kidnapping’ their younger sister Zuri. Oldest sibling “Happy”’s whereabouts are unknown. In 2003 abnormal brain wave activity was reported, benign; his temper somewhat subsided. The remnants of the family moved to the NEC in late 2004.

Desmond’s above-average school grades have currently led to him attending the Promethean School of Science under the tutelage of one infamous Dr. Maya Fontaine. He seems to have an interest in all things biomedical and mechanical.

OCCUPATION: Officially listed as a part-time bowling alley attendant at Crimson Head Lanes. Unofficially: errand boy and lookout for the criminal body behind the bowling alley.

ORIGIN: A small black earth town known only as “Carbonville” that no longer exists.

Last Known Whereabouts: Lives in NEC, DUSA.

Identifying Characteristics: African-American, mole on left cheekbone, shaved dark brown hair, late bloomer in terms of height at just 5 feet tall, noticeably overweight and stocky. Known to almost constantly fiddle with his hands.

PSYCH: Annoyingly positive attitude that hides a deep, festering rage. An overbearing people pleaser almost to the point of submission. Desperate for validation and a sense of belonging. Chronically low self-esteem. Is repressing serious anger issues to the point of migraines and blackouts. Possible case of undiagnosed autism. Easy to intimidate and manipulate.

NAME: Francis T. Mueller

DOB: August 1990; 15 years of age

HISTORY: One of the tens of thousands of Chimera children of the Martian King Azelfafage, Francis was raised by her human mother Roxanne Mueller. Her mother being a drug addict and abusive, Francis from an early age found herself doing any odd job she could to simply feed herself, which soon escalated to working for the assassins guild, Antumbra for a short time at the young age of 10, and working as a bodyguard and gunner for various drug dealers up until the age of 12.

At 9 years old she experienced a medical “accident” that resulted in a severe case of dissociative amnesia.

Police records in 2003 indicate that after her release from brief juvenile custody, Francis worked her way up from petty thug to where she is now working for Crimson Head Lanes. Conflicting reports state that Francis was “handed over” to CHL and is working for them unwillingly by use of either force or threat.

OCCUPATION: Officially listed as a bowling alley attendant at Crimson Head Lanes. Unofficially: hitman thought to be employed by CHL owner Carmine Keller, as well as gunner, enforcer, and more recently the bodyguard of fellow coworker Desmond Arkady.

ORIGIN: NEC, DUSA.

Last Known Whereabouts: NEC, DUSA.

Identifying Characteristics: Curly red hair and freckled dark brown skin like all Chimera. Crimson red teeth. Androgynous/masculine facial and body structure, usually mistaken for a boy. Magenta eyes on yellow that in a highly unusual case shift to white on black in low-light settings, a possible case of intersexism or a mutation. Identifies as a transgender girl. Over 6 feet tall and malnourished for a half-alien child.

PSYCH: Mentally and emotionally unstable, a possible case of borderline personality disorder and even sociopathy. Possibly suffers from a panic or anxiety disorder as well. A loner, dangerous, known for violent mood swings and outbursts. Suffers from dissociative amnesia, PTSD, and alcoholism.
