Re: Silent Night revival??
Originally played by: Darkling
Currently played by:
Name - Gwail Alus
Descriptions -
Age - 49
Possessing unkempt white hair that’s grown wild, reaching the length of his neck. Though normally tied back in some form if just to keep it out of his eyes. A rough week old stubble forming around his chin merging into his plain rather uninteresting features besides his frail boney appearance and docile stare. His frame is as lanky as his face suggesting he does not get regular meals often, wearing old worn cloths covering his whole body in a loose manner.
Personality -
Acts rather docile and unalert most of the time, though can easily react as fast as anyone else shrugging of his half asleep appearance and reactions within seconds. Doesn’t mind being in groups or solo just doesn’t talk much or show much interest in events around him, though can have a few surprising words of wisdom to say sometimes.
Weapons -
Plain hilted Tachi blade, with an iron scabbard covered in black cloth
Rusted Sword breaker knife

Name: Manak
Description:
A youngish man marked with lines of battle experience earned in hard fought combat. Perhaps of great, or little talent, his memory serves him not in remembering what caused the countless scars that riddle his body. He tends to wear flowing clothes, unless uniform was necessarily enforced.
Weapon
Overly large, two handed sword.
Originally played by: Spritely Zombie
Currently played by: No one
Name: Mnemon
Height: 6'4"
Description:
Slightly more muscular than average. Head was obviously shaved recently, but has grown slightly stubbly. Bandana tied in a fashion similar to a sweatband. Dark, steel-gray eyes. His hands are calloused and scarred and his body shows many scars indicating he is a warrior. Clothing consists of a thick set of leather armor, Dyed a dark red color. Composed of a chest/back piece, and heavy flaps that hang off the waist, while still allowing for leg movement. Tight, form-fitting black clothes are underneath the armor.
Personality Traits:
Quiet
Deeply Focused
Stubborn
Weapon/Equipment:
Approximately 9 to 12 yards of well-made titanium-steel alloy chain, each link about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch across, split into three equal-sized sections but connecting together.
Weapon Explanation:
Two of the three sections are wrapped around his forearms (over padded arm-protectors to stop chafing etc ) one to each arm. This adds force to his blows and offers some protection, as well as weight. The third segment is hooked onto the others and trails behind his back. It's quite long and nearly reaches down to his ankles when his arms are at his sides and even with his arms outstretched he doesn't use up all the slack, so (aside from the weight) the chains don't impede his movement much. It doesn't look like some form of prison manacle as beyond some simple blunted and weighted hooks, there's nothing holding the chains together.

Story Recap:
At this point in time everyone involved has awoken from a sort of strange sleep, outside on the lawn of an ordinary looking two story building. The yard in front of the building looks like a battle has taken place, and indeed it has. Pools of sticky blood covered the field, and slowly you realize that you were one of the less fortunate combatants, as you all seem to be brutally impaled. Curious as to why you aren’t dead, and also the fact that you have NO memory, and very little pain from your wounds- or bleeding for that matter- you make your way to the building, where an eerie computer message reading “Silent Night Confirmed” flashes on the screen. Several of you discover some papers relating to chemical equations and formulas, and there are many schematics on a certain canister. I believe Darkling’s character currently holds the papers. At that point, a wild eyed looking older man bursts throw a door, holding his own severed arm, and screaming hysterically. Come to find out from him, he is the janitor at this building, and he reveals to you all that you are all actually dead. For some reason or another, you are effectively undead. He talks about his last moments, watching the battle, then having his arm cut off from behind him, and falling into unconsciousness… or death. He stares hard at Bakan’s Character, and remembers that he used to be a door guard. At this point it should be assumed that those characters wearing red armor were the defenders of the complex, and those wearing normal clothing were the attackers. As this all is going on, Rustling is heard in the bushes and a new form of the undead are revealed. These undead are more your typical zombie. Grey skinned and hungry for flesh. Soon it is revealed they are hostile, as Acidk’s character gets torn to shreds by them. Everyone quickly moves upstairs, to escape the attack. The stairs are capped by a weak door at the bottom and a slightly stronger security door at the top.
I think I forgot to mention that there is another door at the opposite end of the room upstairs. So fyi there is. To save some time, I’ll also let you know right now that it is locked
Upstairs is a large room filled with cubicles and dotted with large filing cabinets. Each cubicle is covered in papers and seems to be quite a mess. Several computers are running, and a few lie broken on the ground. Personal items fill the cubicles. Toys, pictures of loved ones, calendars, the usual office items. The room itself is simple and boring. Whitewashed walls, a plain ceiling with the blandest possible light fixtures, and a linoleum floor. The room is designed to minimize distraction. The only thing possibly distracting is the small potted tree in one corner of the room, and the water cooler’s intermittent bubbling. There is a relatively large window overlooking the front lawn, currently a bloody battle scene. Directly in front of that window are a mop, a bucket, and a relatively large pool of blood, with blood stains on the walls, some nearby cubicles, and the window itself. The mop’s moppy part has turned a deep red from absorbing the poor man’s blood. Besides the mess in front of the window, the room is in pretty good order. Papers lie strewn about and a few chairs are tipped over, but besides that, nothing seems out of the ordinary. One corner of the room is the boss’s room. It is separate, with its own door, with a name on it (Mr. Undermire) and shaded windows looking onto the work area. The boss’s room contains a leather couch, soft carpet, shelves of books, a few filing cabinets, and the walls are lined with pictures and certificates. The window looking onto the front lawn fills one wall, and the shade is currently drawn. Against the window opposite the door, and to the left of the window is the desk. It is a large wooden desk, covered in papers and other desky things. There is a name plate that reads “Mr. Undermire” sitting on it off to one corner. Finally, in the middle of the desk is the small, currently dark, portable computer. The office is in perfect condition, showing none of the disarray of the rest of the floor.
At this point in time, everyone is upstairs. The stairs have been strewn with rubble, as per Disrupter’s character. A window has also been broken and rubble has been strewn below, and the zombies know you are upstairs. The old man is with dragonjem’s character, currently tied to a chair, I believe (correct me if I’m wrong).
ALSO some important DMs of olde to consider.
Darkling: As you go through the papers, you find nothing terribly interesting. The man seems to be in charge of this branch office for a corporation known as “SAFECO”. From the words used in some of the papers, it seems they design and test new weapons for the military. The computer boots up easily and is not password blocked. You have full access to the man’s files. Before you can continue, you notice outside…
Bakan: After searching for records and files, you find several. Most are just vague summaries of what is on the computer system. Somewhere along the lines, you find the same picture that was found earlier, one of canisters (I think darkling has it), but with more details. They are labeled as gas canisters, containing “Neterofungic Gas”. The papers themselves seem to be blueprints for the specially designed canisters. Everything else you find seems to refer directly to the computer system, or is encoded. You do come across a file labeled “personnel and staff”, but inside it frustratingly refers to the computer system again, due to an update…
To sum it up, the computer is important, I believe Darkling already has it.
Also, at this point in time, notice the locked door. Blake’s character is already there, inspecting it.
I know that’s a lot, but that’s the recap. You don’t have to read all of it, but 90% is pretty useful, specially if you don’t remember/know this thread.
I am assuming everyone will play their original characters? And also, I need Huracan to make a character decision in the next few days.
I THINK that is everything for now. As per usual, READ the older material if this doesn’t make sense. I will post a general DM in Silent night, but I would like all of you to confirm in this thread that you have read this stuff over, so I know we are ready to begin.. I’ll give you a few days.
