War of the Mutant's

Story:
    A few years before a terrorist group known as The Chaos, released a horrible concoction of viruses and toxins upon the world that was designed to cause unpredictable and rapid mutations within all living matter.  Even worse was the world powers reaction to it, which caused nations to declare war upon anyone they thought could be involved and as the armies marched to foreign soils and countries in the hopes of controlling a vital resource named Agent P, whose chemical properties are largely a mystery except that it is the only thing known to prevent madness as the mutations progressed.
     Certain people had innate traits that allowed them to resist the mutagen's effects, at least for a time, but as more people were killed by the bands of horrifying and often bloodthirsty mutants that wandered the land and the government crumbled into the dust, hope began to seem futile.  Through sheer luck a few bands of people have survived.
    Within the last few months however the mutants have become only one of many problems, with no organized society food and other essentials are becoming extremely rare.  Worse to that however is what has happened to the atmosphere from a yet unknown source, everyday the amount of light that gets through the growing clouds is growing less and less, while it rains more all the time.  The rain itself is quite acidic so anything that is left in the ruined cities quickly rusts or rots to uselessness.
    Your town was lucky, it had a high number of people with the trait that prevented madness.  Though other problems arise daily and you have been asked to deal with them.  Whether you choose to fight with lead or your mutant traits, the only hope for a safe future relies on people like you.

Dredgetown, Home:
 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 It used to be something like summerside, something nice but the people who live here have forgotten.  However it is one of the nicest places left when every other place attempts to kill you.  Of the 60 some residents still alive most of them are busy operating the mines, workshops or farms in a desperate attempt to hold back the savage inhabitants beyond the walls.  Luckily being an industrial town before the apocalypse it was equipped with all the facilities to best survive after.
Important Places in town:

Town Hall-And abandoned police headquarters, it serves as barracks and deployment headquarters.  It is run by a man named Captain, who is in a sense mayor and general of the town, he is the one in charge of payments, rationing, deployments and all outside-the-walls missions.  In here is also an old woman called Ms. Benny, the only medical doctor in all of Dredgetown, while she may not be the best practitioner of medicine she will at least treat anyone for free, provided there are supplies left.  You have a personal cot and locker in the basement.

'Smoking Barrel' Weaponry and Armor Depot-Run by a family called the Evans, they are willing to trade, barter, repair and sell many forms of weapons, ammo and armor.  They are also the supply depot for the town, and will often give out charity items to people that are braving the outside world.

Shack District-A set of 20 or so small buildings that are used as the housing of the people within the walls.

Ivan's Bar-Run by Ivan himself, it is the place to exchange food and drink tickets for a warm meal and... probably warm drink as well.  It offers a small amount of comfort and socializing while boasting the least leaky roof in the town.  Doubling as a convenience store he can trade or sell various food and luxury items, while he has the stock.

Black Eye Barter-A slightly larger shack in the shack district, the occupant can sell frowned upon materials including but not limited too various drugs, rare items, and an incredibly illegal supply of refined mutagen.

Wolfchild-You need the small and medium items still, glance at others sheets they've got the right idea about size
Sinpwn-You have no ammo, gonna want some shells probably, of course you can try and pick some up as you go.

It's late for me at the moment so I'm gonna go, turn tomorrow afternoon.  Hopefully by then the rest of the players get in.

Edited my first post with my charater.

[Time Blossom]

Name: Alan Treadstone
Sex: Male
Age: 27
Physical Description: Standing a bit short at 5'8", Alan is a poster child for the fact that when they said "survival of the fittest" they didn't have the modern definition of "fitness" in mind. Alan used to go jogging three times a week, back before the world went south, and his work with the SCA kept him from being clumsy, but let's just say that he spent most of his time indoors poring over books and it shows. He's nearsighted, occupies that area just south of pudgy but just north of average, and you get the feeling that he would probably be pasty if he wasn't African American. He's allergic to cats.
Biography: Alan was born and raised in Seattle, and was a total bookworm thanks to his parents. This didn't earn him many friends growing up, but the few he did make got him into the SCA, a hobby he kept up with through college and beyond. Speaking of college, he focused on poetry and linguistics, as languages had always held a certain fascination for him; after he graduated, he became attached to a publishing firm as a translator. Mostly, he translated books of poetry from French and German, though he was working on branching out into other areas and was hoping to finish a book of his own some day. Naturally, the mutant apocalypse put a damper on those plans.
Skills: Poetry, Linguistics, Fencing, Urban Survival (couldn't really think of anything else; seems appropriate for a city boy)
Small Items: Digital voice recorder, Spare clip for pistol, Pocket edition of Keats poetry (heavily pencil-annotated)
Medium Item: Detailed atlas for whatever region of the country we're in.
Weapons: Machete (If anything gets that close, he's screwed and he knows it, but they have other uses too--and it's probably better than his fencing sabre), Remington .22 pistol (never fired)
Clothing: T-Shirt with a dorky linguistics joke on it, somewhat ratty brown leather jacket with his SCA coat of arms hand-stitched across the back, good pair of jeans, practical running shoes. Might vary depending on whether we're somewhere with temperature extremes; Arizona would require losing the jacket and maybe picking up a neckerchief and goggles, while Moscow might demand a practical scarf, etc.
Armor: None of any practical use.

@wolfchild: considering some of Sean's gear, think he might have been an SCA geek himself? Just thinking that he and Alan might know one another, either by growing up together or meeting through the SCA channels later on.

Reserving a spot.  Character soon.


Edit: Character now.

Name:  Raymond Colt
Sex:  male
Age:  34
Physical Description:  5'10", 195lb.  Wiry and lean, stronger then he looks.  Carries himself like a military man, and keeps his auburn hair close-cut and clean-shaven.  His eyes are highly noticeable for being extremely dark brown, nearly black.  There's a long straight scar running across the small of his back.
Biography:  Raymond Colt is the youngest of three brothers, born and raised in Vancouver.  While the elder brothers are respected scientists, Raymond chose a life of action, and joined the army, eventually becoming the commanding officer of a small scout unit consisting mainly of sharpshooting, wisecracking, extremely agile traceurs.  Though he retired from active service when his superiors judged him to be losing his touch (he fell off a roof badly and sliced his back open during a mission), he's still been practicing his skills, and at the age of 34 is just as able as in his prime.  Though some might look to the somewhat older veteran for leadership, he's been content to follow ever since his family succumbed to fatal mutations and he moved south.
Skills:  Sharpshooter, stealthy, traceur, tracker.
Small Items:  a lighter, two 30-round STANAG magazines
Medium Item:  a pair of binoculars
Weapons:  Colt C7A1 (30/30), with detachable utility knife
Clothing:  A light, slighty worn, plain grey hoodie over a t-shirt with a picture of a man surfing a huge wave on it and a caption saying "The West Coast: Come for the Big Wave, stay for the Big One".  Somewhat tattered jeans and light sneakers complete the outfit.
Armor:  none
