Tube Rats 3/5

Humans enjoyed the perfect life. No work, no sickness, no hatred. The City was created to be this way. But though The City was built on the dreams of humanity, it functions on the blood sweat and tears of Homo neoateles, known as Subus. The new species was created in labs, meant to be the perfect slave: Mindless, Strong, and short-lived to keep their population controllable. Their muscle mass is ten times that of normal humans, they have twenty percent less gray matter in their brains and half as many neurons. But that changed. Homo neonecopinus were the new species taking over, built out of the mutations and cross-breeding of Homo neoateles and Homo sapiens. They're unexpected, unwanted, and considered pests. But these so-called Tube Rats weren't giving up easily.

The customization options for your Homo neonecopinus are varied. They have the mind of a human, strength of a Subu, and a whole lot of adaptations. The height of a Homo neonecopinus is usually 5'1-5'10, same for males and females. Hair colors include normal human hair and the ashen gray or white of a Subu. The same goes for skin, (Greyish-brownish and pale gray are Subu skin tones) except they do have colored (Any color you can think of) patterns inherited from Subus that are unique to individuals, and glow in the dark. This is important because it is the main way they identify them in the dark since the tubes (A network of ventilation, electrical, and access shafts that are used by Tube Rats as their shelter since they are so extensive and unused) have very few light sources. Personality is, of course, unlimited. As for names, only first names. They need something short and unique. Other than that, go wild!

The roleplay will be starting in the center, where the group of Rats have just escaped from a failed food grab in the shopping district and were chased by an Extermination squad. From there, interactions will decide. I will be GMing (Managing NPC interactions) and be playing my character.


Name: Vreych (Vre-ech)
Age:16
Bio: Lost parents to an extermination squad at 14. Lead food grabs for 3 years, on one of these her parents were caught. Was brought up by two Tube Rat parents who are 3rd generation Tube Rats.
Personality: A realist, she is extremely protective of her friends and utterly despises the humans. Cold to strangers, and harsh to unfamiliar Subus. Even if people trust a human, she will always be wary around them. She is extremely paranoid on missions, especially with people she cares about, and will never go to the housing district unless her life depends on it.
Physical description: 5'4, with pale gray skin. Her hair is white, cut in an extremely short pixie cut, and her eyes are a blue-gray. She mainly wears close-fitting clothing, with short sleeves, leggings, and her stomach showing.
Marking:

Strengths/Weaknesses: Very agile and lithe, with very good evasion skills. She is a good leader, but under enough pressure, she'll break. She keeps her emotions bottled up, and if someone makes her too angry she'll burst. Her combat skills are average, but she would easily be taken down by a stronger opponent. As for intelligence, she's good at tactical and abstract thinking, but no good at technology or science. She can read and write but isn't the best. Sometimes she gets things wrong.

There is some basic lingo that will be used:
Surface Rat - A Tube Rat that spends their time on the surface, and usually has betrayed their species
Toom - A tube room, where Tube rats eat sleep and live.
Tube Tomb - An area used as a hideout, but aren't very comfortable and often are hard to find
Cross Rat - A Tube Rat who is the result of a Subu-Human pairing
Freak Rat - A Tube Rat who is a first generation mutated Subu
Real Rat - A Tube Rat who is born to two Real Rat/Freak rats.
Grab - An attempt to get resources from the surface.
Tursch - An edible fungus that is used for most of the meals Tube Rats eat. It is not very tasty and is used to describe someone who is disliked but necessary.
Fresi - A weed that sometimes grows in the cracks of the tubes. Rare, and very tasty when made into a soup. It grows in big clumps. It can be used as a compliment.

That's it! Tell me if you're interested, and post your CS! Once I have enough people (Whos CS's I approve of) we will start a single-threaded roleplay for it. Happy RPing!
 
I think I have someone who could work for this. You interested in a Medic Bruiser?
 
Name: Eli
Age: 19
Bio: Eli grew up in the tubes. He was always the weakest of those around him, and was thus always left to sleep in the tubes instead of the tube rooms. Unlike many others of his kind, Eli spends a lot of time on the surface. He typically sneaks out of the tubes at night and just sits on the roofs of buildings, out of view from prying eyes.
Personality: Eli has a very curious personality, but is untrusting of most people. He likes the open freedom of the surface, but can function just fine in the tubes.
Physical Description: Eli is tall, being 5'10", and rather lanky. He has well defined muscles, but is not ripped. His skin color is a pale tan color. His hair is long, reaching his upper back, and bleach white. His eyes are two different colors. The left eye is blue, while the right eye is brown.
Marking:

Color - Electric Blue
Strengths/Weaknesses: Eli is weak compared to others of his race, lacking quite a bit of muscle mass. However, he is faster and smarter than most of his brethren. Eli cares more for big, open, quiet places than anywhere else around him.
Extra: N/A
 
Name: Haruk
Age: 20
Bio: Haruk spent his life more out of the tubes, than in them. He learned quickly that after hiding his mark, he was practically invisible among the city. He took a lot of time on the surface, attending public classes, learning how to use their machines, and picked up quite a few tricks along the way. As a result, however, he was always branded as a surface rat, a title he greatly resented. He often goes out of his way to prove he's still a member of the tubes, but convinces few. In his spare time, he stocks and maintains several hideouts on the surface, and works the odd job for cash.
Personality: Easygoing and calculating, Haruk thinks actions well into the future, but is able to hide it behind a carefree and relaxed exterior.
Physical Description: 5'8", and of average build, with brown hair and fair skin, Haruk lies closer to his human lineage than his subu one. If it weren't for his marking, which he usually takes care to cover up when not in the tubes, he would be nearly indistinguishable from a normal human. He generally wears a work jumpsuit, and keeps his hair trimmed short.
Marking:

Color: Dark Green
Strengths/Weaknesses: About of average strength compared to a human, and generally unskilled at navigating the tubes, Haruk's skills lie in other areas. Good at getting into places he's not wanted, Haruk can pick locks and open electric keypads with little effort. He's decent at bluffing, as well, a skill that's saved him more than once. He also as a detailed map of the surface in his head, although he barely knows the one of the tubes.
Extra: N/A
 
Name: Fang
Age: 16
Bio: Fang is a Cross Rat, her father some unknown figure from the surface and her mother from the Tubes. She was quick to develop her strength, and became a heavy-hitter for the Grab raids. In her off-time, she studies from stolen books as much as she can, her interest in biology slowly developing into a side job of taking care of the sick and injured.
Personality: Fang is a pretty funny and friendly individual, once you've proven to be on her side. When it comes to anyone else, even allies who seem to be making dangerous choices, she's snappy and temperamental. She'll fight anyone she has to, and won't hold back until the threat is gone.
Physical Description: 5'10, well-built to an almost bodybuilder level. Tan skin, probably hereditary since she doesn't go in the sun much. Ash grey hair that hangs all the way down her back in a simple braid. Dark blue eyes, strong jawline, not particularly feminine in face but still relatively attractive.
Marking: http://pin.it/yWLCZWl It's around her neck like a choker.
Color: Cobalt blue.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Strengths include physical strength, which stems into speed. Loyal to her crew, always willing to do something to help. Weaknesses are her temper, which can be helpful in a fight but gets her in trouble anywhere else it decides to flare up, and her limited knowledge in the medical field. Injuries are a pretty simple practice, but sickness is still a bit of a mystery to her.
Extra: She's gay, though I doubt that will be much of a plot point besides not pairing up with any of the guys.
