[Quiet Man Cometh]

You definately know more about the topic than I do, Salone. I'm just basing this one the rifle of my dads that I use. Spending another rarity point on a scope! Can double as an eyeglass. ;)

Maybe I'll grab a .22 handgun for spare then, semi auto. I do like the idea of the bolt action. I can use British shooting style with it! Will I have to come up with some plausible reason that she has one? She's not exactly from a military family. More like farm type.

Meh, sticking with what I have. Make sense for the character. Have one more thing to pick up.

On another note, will say that Dara doesn't have a moral stance of anykind. Been too busy trying not to get killed. She's pretty much mentally your standard citizen that happens to be in an apocalytic world.

I just had this thought... about our characters' backstories.

Have any of us dealt with any seriously insane situations before? Anyone been to the Holy Land? I was thinking Lev must have been through some crazy stuff if he ended up here from Kenya.

Shealtiel has actually stayed pretty local since he was studying abroad in Greece when the Calamity hit. So he isn't quite as experienced as he might come off as, though he's done a lot of network research and has worked with undead spirits a lot obviously.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Dara's from Northern Italy at the southern end of the alps, rural area. She's seen minions walking about and snuck by nasties but that's it. She's the duck and cover type right now. No interesting in fighting the things. She may have walked by something really nasty and no known it since she generally gives dangerous things a wide berth unless she has no other choice. She's aware of strong meanies aroud, but hasnt' had to personally fight any. At most, she may have hidden from one that was really close or ran for her life and made it.

-skims-

...Somehow I get the feeling I missed a LOT. -dreads having to read the RP-

[Serra Britt]

Nope, Fee has no background with such things. I like to believe she has a strong mind, but...you see how she reacts xD

[Salone]

Lev's seen some things. I could write books on all his fictional exploits.

Also, all my guns:

These are what I currently have on me. I have about 8 more in my old town, but I can't take pictures when they're a hundred miles away. I've actually downsized my collection by 3 to try to ease congestion on storage space. Unfortunately, there's a Saiga 12 and a Taurus PT1911 at my gun store that is ultra tempting.

When I figure out how to add commentary to pictures on Photobucket, I'll update with what each one is. Some are pretty easy to pick out. Others not so much.

Oh, and the Toz:

I think we need a response from Jeanne before we can move much farther. Though, Lev can do whatever he's going to do next, I suppose. I have to admit, I'm curious to how he'll respond.

[Salone]

You ever seen a hobo at a Golden Corral? Something like that. Will try to post from my phone here at work.

[Salone]

Turns out my phone doesn't like to type the paragraphs I had in mind, so I had to wait for lunch. Tried to throw a curve in there. Na'lsa really does believe in himself when it comes to being the son of the Father. I've cooked up a few rants about his "brother" for when the time is right.

Also, I left the last bit ambiguous. Mostly because I don't know if you'd be cool with Lev having THAT much power. Also lets me tire him down so the real Lev can actually have some screen time.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Salone, that was mind-blowingly awesome. I think it makes sense that since he devoured the Saint, he'd gain some abilities in that regard. Maybe he can only manifest one skill set at a time, and switching aspects requires downtime in between where he's regular Lev?

[Salone]

That sounds good to me. If that guy lives and still retained his soul, I totally want to send him off to spread the word of the Lion of God.
If not, Na'lsa can angst out.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Okay, I'm curious now. You watched "The Ghost and the Darkness" perchance Salone?

[Salone]

That's exactly what Lev/Na'lsa is based off of. Movie pretty much scarred me when I was a kid, saw it when I was like, 4 (I caught the end that showed the railroad, and I loved trains. So, I wanted to see the whole thing with all the train goodness. There was no such thing). But yeah, that movie seriously did damage to little me for a long time. I actually made a trip to Chicago back in '08 just to stare down what's left of those two lions at the Field Museum.

Okay, there were other things involved but that was my main mission.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Heh. I've been curious about those. I've seen the movie many times (I have a thing for animals versus mankind movies, particuarly sharks ;)). I thought about it when I first heard Tsavo but only just now connected it to the Lion idea.

[Salone]

Once at the zoo, I saw kids throwing rocks at the lions. I started a scuffle with them because they wouldn't stop. Just in case that if the lions ever escaped, they knew who got those kids to stop pelting them.

As far as animals versus mankind goes...I can't bring myself to hurt a spider, but if I ever see a lion free he better get to me before I get to my guns.

But if he does, I'll die pissing myself.


Seriously. It was hard growing up in Arkansas, knowing that there were mountain lions just roaming around. I own a big enough arsenal now to feel slightly safe. Partially for the zombies. Partially for the fear that back in the early 2000's, a lion escaped from a private zoo in Arkansas and was never found.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Salone, it's like you read my mind. That was awesome. :D
