The Attica Zeus

GM: Vault Ninja

Co-GM: Vatrou

The Attica-Zeus was one of the first cruise ships ever built using nuclear fission technology and contained some of the most expensive and advanced hardware available. All the stops were pulled out when creating the ship, it was created to be the most luxurious cruise ship ever created and to revolutionize the cruise industry, it was to be the flag ship of Olympian Cruises fleet and was among the largest and luxurious ships built to date. When the Chinese invaded Alaska the Attica-Zeus was permanently dry docked in New York, tensions from the war were high and it was deemed too dangerous to set sail.

Once Alaska was reclaimed and the war tilted into American favor several executives at Olympian got the idea to begin the ship's maiden voyage, send a message to the world that America prevailed, no matter what the cost. The company went all out with the promotions and special deals announcing the maiden voyage and that attracted attention, especially in this economy. There was no difference between 1st and 3rd class rooms on the Attica-Zeus, each room was designed with luxury in mind and there was no difference in cost, on the Attica-Zeus every room was first class.

The Attica-Zeus set sail on October 17, 2077 and was to sail to the Bahamas and then to Greenland, making stops along the Canadian coast before heading to Greenland and then back to New York to arrive on New Year's Eve. The Attica-Zeus had recently left Greenland and was en route back to New York when the bombs fell, the ship was buffeted by massive waves and only barely survived the night. It now drifts along the irradiated ocean with it's few surviving passengers and crew barely clinging to life aboard the half sunken ship.

It's been a day or so since the bombs fell, The Attica-Zeus drifts at sea, the ship's damage is apparent. The hull is damaged and water is seeping in, a good bit of the passengers are dead, either by being swept off the ship during the storm or crushed by debris. The ship is still taking on water and it's clear it won't survive long without some sort of solution and it's up to the survivors to figure that out.

That's where you come in, you are one of the survivors on the Attica-Zeus, either a passenger or one of it's crew. It'll be up to you to keep the ship floating to the best of your abilities and make do with the supplies on board.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This will be a Survival RP involving the crew and passengers of the cruise ship The Attica-Zeus, it'll involve surviving on board a ship drifting at sea and being forced to head for land or find some other solution once supplies run out. During the course of this RP you will have to make choices that will decide the fate of the ship and your survival.

Characters:

Vatrou - Joseph JoJo Jones

Spoiler

Name: Joesph JoJo Jones

Age: 27

Race: Caucasian

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 212 Pounds

Appearance: Joesph has always been taller than his classmates, with his muscular body and large physique. His black hair is currently disheveled, and face clean shaven for now. With a strong jaw, full lips, bold eyebrows and light brown eyes.

Injuries: a concussion.

Former Occupation: Odd job worker.

Clothing: A simple uniform fitting for a worker below deck.

Weapons(s): A pipe, and fists.

Misc. Items: Watch, journal, and flashlight.

Personality: Joseph was incredibly hotheaded, impetuous, and confrontational. He was not very serious or focused and tended to fool around, but was shown to be incredibly savvy. He has since learned to calm his hot head especially when dealing with potential employers

History: Joesph engaged in sports in the early years of Middle School, it soon changed as he began to shirk his education and fell into delinquency and Was eventually kicked out of High School. Collage was impossible for him, and he spent years barely living off of small odd jobs. His family threw him out into the street once he was 18, and soon left homeless. Despite his muscular body and large physique the amount of jobs for him was limited. With no diploma most wouldn't even see him. It took a chance meeting with a stranger who just so happened to be a ship designer more recently of the Colombian a luxury cruse ship.

Dalek - Troian Schiele

Spoiler

NAME: Troian Schiele

AGE: 46
HEIGHT: 5'10

WEIGHT: 145 pounds

APPEARANCE: Troian is quite lean and has an overall physique that has been pampered by his relatively sheltered life. His hair is a solid black in a sort of playful quiff coiffure that he slicks back for professional affairs, but allows to flow about whenever he is casual. Troian's eyes are a bright hazel, and his skin is quite evenly tanned. Perhaps his most notable feature, his eyebrows have a quizzical arch that can often be mistaken as a permanently angry face since his eyes are fairly deep-set, giving him a bit of a sinister look.

INJURIES: Gashes on his forearms, a severe headache, and slight bruising along his back.

FORMER OCCUPATION: Troian Schiele was once a renowned architect, known for his work in renovating historical constructs throughout the world. His most recent renovation was that of the sacred city of Machu Picchu in South American, where the ancient site of stone has since been turned into a giant JCPenny made entirely out of glass. Not only that, but Schiele's work can also be seen within The Colombian itself, as he was lead designer behind the architectural aesthetic of the Olympian flagship.

CLOTHING: A black suit with an amber undershirt, along with a black bow-tie and amber pocket square. Troian believes his pocket square will bring him good look at the poker tables and "bring out his eyes."

WEAPONS: A craps stick and a fat shard of glass that he keeps in his back pocket.

MISC. ITEMS: A fountain pen, and a roll of poker chips.

PERSONALITY: Troian is the type of person to only really look out for himself. Occasionally, he will look out for others, but only when it is convenient for himself. He is almost always looking for a way to make big money, and he doesn't care how he does it. He has almost no moral compass when it comes to his individualistic tendencies, but does have a soft spot for a pretty girl. Troian believes in letting others do the work for you, and can definitely talk his way around an argument (or at the very least shift his own blame.)

HISTORY: Troian Schiele was born in France to a pair of rich yet estranged lovers who sent him off to boarding school the moment they could. He spent a majority of his youth studying in Britain, where he came into contact with many of the socialite connections he still uses today. He excelled in mathematics, and especially in speech and debate, but failed miserably when it came to science. Because of his proficiency in math, he was able to study architecture in Italy upon entering his postgraduate schooling, and has traveled the world trying to establish his own architectural movement. Despite his lofty ambitions, this movement failed, but he was able to start his own architectural firm and win much notoriety in the process. His controversial renovations and designs have been the subject of much controversy of ethics in business, as his architectural firm "Trojan Shield" effectively took advantage of the Resource War and bought up historical sites throughout the world as nations scrambled for economic support. One of the most resonating purchases by Trojan Shield Architecture was that of the entirety of Vatican City when the government of Italy seized the site and sold it almost immediately as the Resource Wars first began.
