Mudokon

(HY) 22

Ponytail that flows halfway down his back.

History:
Gendewl has been a low life thief that has been caught by the authorities and has been sent to rehabilitation at Rupture Farms (He doesn't know what goes on there). His parents died when he was young so since he was 3 he was an orphan and took to theivery when he was eight when his surrogate parents caught him steling from the neighbours.
The reason he was caught was due to his Narcolepsy when he fell asleep in the building of one of the wealthiest Mudokons in Seliah (Mudokon city)

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

The train, after an hour being delayed by the other train that had crashed on up the track, Gendewl stepped off the train to be greeted by a slig patrol, odd undefinable smell and the intimidating sight of his new home...Rupture Farms.
Grabbing his luggage from the cargo bay of the train he made his way to the administrative section of the building when upon arrival his luggage was taken from with a security slig grubting to him, "We know your background, we need to search this for any contraband*sliggish grunt*"

OOC: This is my first time ever RPGing so gisus a chance if I make a booboo

[Havoc]

Activating mines... that didn't sound save.

'I'm not going to blow myself up by doin this, am I?' he asked, just to be sure.

[Splat]

ooc: Ridg3, there are no 'random characters' in Rupture Farms. There are no characters in the factory that aren't owned, controlled and given a profile by a specific player, so there are no 'security sligs'.

[MarsMudoken]

OOC: ...erm, I'm just pointing out that if he was 22/23 human years he's 150/160 years old.

Does anyone think this stuff through?

[Splat]

I think he means his character has the mental age of a 22 year old human. So he thinks and acts like a 22-year-old human (in as much as a slig would).

[MarsMudoken]

OOC: But dog years are a year-x7. Sligs live roughly the same age as a dog. 20 years.

[Splat]

Sligs, being asexual drones, don't have to go through the physical changes that creatures such as humans and dogs do as we age. So I imagine that they reach adulthood after a much shorter portion of their life than we do. Same with mudokons and glukkons.
If you want to discuss the aging of Oddworld creatures, I suggest you start a thread in 'Oddworld Discussion'.

[Gretin]

OOC:

...erm, I'm just pointing out that if he was 22/23 human years he's 150/160 years old.

Does anyone think this stuff through?

Does anyone need to think this stuff through? It's just a game, I don't see why you need to be so pedantic about it.

Also, I think, as Splat said, he meant it the other way around, meaning if you really want to be pedantic, if you say there's 7 slig years to a human year, 22/23 means he's actually about 3 years old. Perhaps he should've said "slig years" but I would've thought a little common sense would tell you that's what he meant

And you kinda could've posted IC instead of pointing out pointless stuff. excuse the pun

IC:

She might be in the cafeteria or something," Jim suggested to Ralph.

"I suppose, but why would she be there? I thought she went off after that robot thing... Then again, I don't have any better ideas so sure, cafeteria it is then."

<•-•-•-•-•>

"Alright," Hembar addressed SU-01, "thanks for your help, I think we should be fine now."

She wasn't sure about whatever it was the robot wanted to talk to Anni about, but she thought at present it was best for the mudokons to stick together.

[Jimmy-le-sniper]

-----IC-----
When Hembar thanked him, SU-01 simply replied :

"It's OK, my pleasure"

After a while, the healing device emitted another message :

"Healing procedure complete."

The arms retracted themselves into the module. SU-01 scanned Mars' leg a few seconds, looking for any wounded bits remaining. But as he found nothing, he switched back to his regular weaponry.

"Your leg's fine now." he said to Mars. "Just be sure to let it rest a few days. My idea is that you should stay there for a while." turning to Anni, he added "You should be able to keep the Paramites away from him, don't you ?"

Suddenly, his robotic voice said : "Time remaining before next attempt : 5 minutes". SU-01 finally turned to Hembar and said :

"I was planning to escort you outside of the factory again, but I won't have enough time. I just might stay on manual mode after that but I don't want to take any risks. Just try to...stay out of trouble, OK ?"

He turned his feet back into levitation mode, turned around and as he was leaving, he added : "One last thing...If I ever encounter you two (Mars & Hembar) again, your best move is to stay perfectly still. You might find this completely stupid but in either case, I will either switch into manual mode or at least, I won't open fire if you don't attempt to escape. You'll then have the opportunity to escape later."

(OOC)

I know how much a Slig lives and how it sould be, yes x3 I am as much as a geeky one around here as most >:3 and as a writer I tend to go doing things as exactly as posible BUT I preffer to get the age on human years since I find it easier (In my story it is the same with any normal species).
I really thought it was going to be as easy as Splat and Gretin thought X3 Am sorry to create any confusion though I thought it as being the basic and easiest form of putting things through.
Also: Since my sis is throwing me away from the pc (again) I will go and geek my brain some more on the first game thanks to my PS2. Hopefully in Monday I will have my PC back and will finally join this the way it sould be :3.

See ya soon :3!

(OOC out)

[Splat]

ooc: Going on holiday early tomorrow morning so this may be my last IC post for two weeks. I may be able to drop in once or twice, but it's a bit hit and miss.

IC:
Anni nodded as SU asked to talk with her. "I hope we get the chance!" She said, then to the others, "Mars should be safe here for a while at least. But if you get something to cover his tattoo, he should be able to join work. Like an apron or something. Sligs don't often look at our faces, I've noticed, so I bet they won't recognise him if he hides the thing that gives him away. I better get back to where I was working; my friend, Jim, doesn't like sligs and there was one hanging around..."

And then she ran off, not wanting to get herself in more trouble. If she could talk to Jim quickly, they could say she had been with him all along, and if that slig who was in the lab did see her, she would have an alibi. But she had to tell Jim before he gave her away.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Dionysia snorted from behind Nick at his comment. "Heart of a scrab, he's got. Found a kindred spirit here, 7. I don't want to disturb your lovely reunion. I'm going to get some work done," She sneered and walked out of the security room."

ooc:
Sorry Gretin, couldn't think of a way to get Jim away. You can lead him around if you want, or talk to a slig and say he's cowering in the background. I don't think Grace should be a problem since he's not done anything yet this part.

[MarsMudoken]

OOC: It's been long enough. Time to post !

Why Splat? I had 15 minutes of time with Anni! THAT WAS NOT NEARLY WORTH THE STALKING!!


Mars

IC: Mars had been lying down for a painstakingly brutal amount of precious time (less than 5 minutes), making clicking and simple sounds with his mouth out of pure boredom (bad habit), when the Snoozer finished. Mars jumped up and looked at his leg, testing it like a slig with a new gun (minus the murder). He leaped up in joy, pumped his fist into the air, and let loose a scream of "YAHOO!!!". He ran around in no particular fashion for a bit, then, realizing he looked silly, halted with a nervous grin on his face. At Anni's suggestion of hiding his tattoo, he sighed and rolled his eyes. He yawned, and decided he was too darn lazy to walk, so he sat down. "See? It's easy to relax" he said, but suddenly realized that someone was missing. WHERE WAS ANNI!?!? With a quick look he realized that the Snoozer was gone too!


'Don't panic. Panic get's us nowhere...'

'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH'

'Well tha-'

'Don't even START!!!'

'1 less mud, 1 less chance to live. Of course it had to be the smart one IT'S ALWAYS THE SMART ONE!!! AND THE BEHEMOTH IS GONE TOO!

'Okay, the Snoozer was going to kill us anyways. What's wrong with the other mud?'

'She looks funny.'

'Sexist.'

'Racist.'

'SHUT UP DAMNIT!!!'

'What if we just ask what happened?'

'OH SURE, that's BRIL~LIANT.'

'With all due respect that is brilliant.'

'It won't work.'

'Yes it will.'

'No it won't.'

'It will work!'

'No it-'

'JUST GO!!!'


O_o O_o O_o


"Um," Mars began, looking at the Mudokon. "Where did Anni and the Snoozer go? And what's your name?"

[Jimmy-le-sniper]

-----OOC-----

Uh, Mars ? In my mind, (even if its not clearly stated in my previous IC, my bad...) my character was already leaving the place to avoid killing each and every one of you so could you (please) edit your IC ? I'll try to be clearer next time

[AlexFili]

IC: Borso shifts his feet uneasily. "Wait?", he questioned. "I suppose we could do that... kinda boring though, eh?" He looks at Flad with a raised eyebrow. He sighs and goes back to cleaning and arming his gun. At least that would kill some time. "A native and a snoozer? That usually ends up with the mudokon being stepped on, tranq'd or..." Borso sighed and sat down with his back to the wall.

[Uros Osium Tokker]

(OOC)

Weee x3 First post of mine getting serious on this :3 Hope to do well enough ^^!

Green color: Dbreak
Blue color: KK7
Grey color: Outsider (whenever he is around)

(IC)

The new train didn’t arrive quite as quietly for this one. Most trains seemed to be new or well maintained while this one had an odd look and was mostly idly maintained… It probably was old and not retired for some reason.

“Freedom!”A voice yelled as a Slig came out of the train with a few bags.

His coloration and appearance were different from those of a normal Slig, at least a fair bit of it that is… The pants, the mask and a bit of his coloration were not really right asides the fact he didn’t have a weapon.

“Freedom my a**, KK7”Grunted a second, this time a Big Bro with his own luggage.

Weird looking armor and strange weapons were the things the Big Bro held as well as the lack of a mask. He didn’t seem to mind any of them any more than the smaller Slig that was his companion though.

The smaller Slig seemed to look nervously around after getting out of the train while the Big Bro simply took the dust away from his big arms and armor.

“I still don’t like the idea of being here, but we have bills to pay and there may be some good we can do while being here” He grunted yet again “And it shows up if you look at the transport we got” He signaled at the old train.

“Yes, yes, you made your point twenty times during our travel… Now hand over the map so we may know where the boss’s lair is located”

“Map?” The Big Bro tilted his head.

“Yes, the map I gave you yesterday, my dear Dbreak” KK7 said with a bit of a tired look “I gave it to you at night so you could or study it or bag it”

The Big Bro suddenly looked away while scratching his maskless head and face as if not paying attention.

“Dbreak…” The voice of KK7 seemed more than tired now “What did you do with it?”

“Well… I asked you for cheese yesterday night for my meal… You were ranting about the job, again, but I didn’t really pay any attention even when you brought me what I thought was the cheese you know?” Dbreak gave a silly smile as KK7 simply threw the bags to have someplace to sit “It is ok though, I am sure someone will come for us sooner or later”

“May I ask WHY would the boss around these parts send someone to greet new employees?” KK7 asked with a loud grunt of disapproval “The best thing I expect is armed reception to get us detention if we are late… If the boss here even saw our personal applications WHICH I doubt” He almost snarled “I don’t know enough of the new management but I doubt any Glukkon is that forgiving to anyone incompetent if they make them lose any moolah at all”

“Relax my little buddy” Dbreak grimaced, taking his friend on his back while also getting his bags with his free hand “The least we will look to them is ‘dangerous’ if we are free to roam around, we are well known thanks to not getting along with fellow Sligs as the Slig Barracks will probably tell them thanks to the many times they tried to ‘recruit’ us with some force. I think they will send someone sooner or later when they see our applications or when they notice the Barrack’s information if they have good enough security” He said with a grin “But I doubt they will do anything stupid if they want the place intact so I think we are safe and with a job we will like”

*At least, I hope so* Dbreak thought while walking around in search of anyone near the station.

Good first impression they were going to make: Lost and without information except inside Dbreak’s belly.

[arkaznor]

IC:

Ark shifted uncomfortable when #7 Slig mentioned something about mines... exploding. The task wasn't directed at him, but it still made him nervous. He was about to say something when the other Slig next to him (Nick) voiced his concerns. Ark was partially relived at the Slig's response, but it meant that he might be asking #7 some more questions before he left.

Since it seemed that Ark would have to wait while #7 worked out some more pressing matters, before he would be giving any details about what he found, he thought that he would ask the robot about what happened to the Mudokon that helped him. As he started to face the robot he heard a familiar voice say,

"Heart of a scrab, he's got. Found a kindred spirit here, 7. I don't want to disturb your lovely reunion. I'm going to get some work done."

Ark immediately froze, his body having tensed up. 'Oh shi-, no wait, she doesn't seem to have recognized you yet. Don't let her notice you. Just stay calm, act natural, yeah. No wait, that would draw attention after what you just said, it would look suspicious if you don't care about what's going on. And besides, what's natural for you? You just recently got back into work, you don't even know anything about acting 'normal' in this situation. Uh... look tired, yeah, that will work. Most Mudokons looked tired a lot of the time, right? Stop holding your breath in, breath! Now drop your shoulders just a bit, look like your arms are heavy. Ok... um, should my eyes be nervous or heavy? Go with both, that's easy to pull off... maybe... ok not so much, go with slightly heavy, don't want to make seem like I'm bored. Wait until she's gone. Don't look at her, just stare at the corner...' Ark's inner monologue raced through his head as the Coal colored Mudokon walked out of the room.

As soon he couldn't hear her anymore, Ark sighed heavily. He really didn't want to have to deal with her again, especially after what had happened during all of their past encounters... they never seemed to end well for him. Looking down, Ark saw that his tattoos had been gleaming in the dim light ever so slightly. 'Wow, either she's really out of it, or doesn't remember me at all,' Ark thought as he took a few more deep breaths, in an effort to bring his tattoos back to their normal black complexion, 'Though, maybe, she is so full of herself that she just doesn't bother remembering or noticing anyone.'

Bringing his head back up, he stared into the... 'face'?... of the robot. Its cold, stationary, stare gave him second thoughts about asking it anything. Indeed, Ark started to doubt that it would be able to answer him at all. Turning back to the two Sligs, Ark asked, "So, should I just wait here? Or do you need me to do something while you get this sorted out?"

Ark glanced over his shoulder momentarily at the robot, just standing there. It made him uneasy.

OOC:
I completely forgot that Dionysia was in the room as while, and apparently Ark thinks in the second person now... huh. And I'm pretty sure that Ark's gun is still in the cafeteria, but does any one want to confirm that?

[slig# 5719]

IC:

Flad:

"Boring? Yeah it is, but what else can we do? Their's no one around to give any orders, no alert, the native's taken care of... Hold on a sec," Flad looked at his Slig Pants and picked up the radio attached to them. "Aha! something to do. I took this from the security office next door when I was monitoring the cameras, up for an adventure?" Flad asked Borso then looked around the room, the only others he could see were two Sligs (assuming Krivzee is still here) and a Glukkon. "Anyone else want to come on a thrilling adventure down the hall?"

--------------------
Slen:

Slen was standing by the main lift doors on the second floor when a thought suddenly occured to him. "I can't stay here, what if some Sligs use this lift?" Slen quickly darted around the nearest corner and kept an eye on the lift doors. "This way I can get away if Sligs come from the lift, and approach if Mudokons use it" Slen thought to himself and smiled, impressed with his own thinking.

[MarsMudoken]

OOC: Krivzee exists don't worry.

[AlexFili]

IC: Borso nodded, "Anything to escape the mediocrity" Borso was sure he'd never used such a long word before in his life. He sighs and begins walking along with Flad.

[Gretin]

ISEE:

"Um, where did Anni and the Snoozer go? And what's your name?" Mars asked Hembar.

"I'm Hembar," she replied, "and I've already worked out you're Mars. Anyway, Anni just said she's going back to work - unlike us, she actually works here so she'll get in trouble if she's caught not working. Then again, for us I guess we'll get in trouble if we're caught period.

The Snoozer's gone so it doesn't go back into robot mode while it's still with us and kill us or something. But we should probably move anyway, because if it goes back into robot mode it might decide to come back."

[slig# 5719]

OOC:
Whoops spelt Krivzee wrong *edits*

IC:
"Alright then lets go." Flad said and walked out of the executive area with Borso, "right, it's just here..." As Flad begun walking towards the security office a black Mudokon came out through the doorway and passed him. "Odd, the Mudokons here come in all shapes and colours don't they?" Flad said to Borso, he suddenly realising he had stopped and was still watching the Mudokon "Lets get that radio put back then." Flad approached the door of the security office and opened it. He was surprised when he found the group within, not actually expecting anyone to be in there. He entered, "Hey guys, whats up?"

[Jimmy-le-sniper]

-----IC-----

SU-01 was still making his way back to the non-damaged part of the factory. He came back eventually to the door he had hacked and locked up previously. He connected himself to the control panel again, deleted the security lock procedure and the door opened slowly. He went through it and as he was going to close it via the console on the other side, he saw that it has been destroyed by an explosive projectile.

"Looks like our flying friend got a little upset" he thought ironically.

He used one of his pliers to slide the door back in place manually. He finally reached the first floor. After a few minutes of patrolling, he encountered the group he saw before, right after going through the basement. They were still working and Anni would probably join them soon. He froze in place and a cold voice coming from his speakers announced :

"New attempt to reboot in 3...2...1...". For a few seconds, he stood perfectly still, and remained silent. His eyes went off, then on again, in a bright green color. A soft booting sound was heard, followed by : "Control systems successfully rebooted. All security protocols are online." He scanned his surroundings with his cold, blank, robotic stare, looking at the working employees. No thread detected, ammunition loaded, ready for duty. Back to normal.

[AlexFili]

IC: A black mudokon was something that Borso knew of before, but it was just a rumor... a ghost story. He never thought he would actually see one. He followed Flad to the door and stuck his snout through the gap, accidently brushing Flad with his tentacles. "Ooops", he said... before looking through the gap again.

[Uros Osium Tokker]

***OOC***

Still without my own computer so getting things done is a lil hard for me x3 At least I could get some time to get around, read the posts and do something >:3 Here, hope it is good enough.

***IC***

“You finally gave up on getting someone to greet us?” The voice of KK7 seemed more than a bit sarcastic.

“Oh shut up… You didn’t tell me any of the rumours before with things happening here” Dbreak grunted “That you thought they would need more help was fine, but I doubt there is any reason to wait here if the situation is not as good as I thought. So in resume: We are heading in”

Dbreak thought of waiting at first until KK7 told him a few rumours that guy, Outsider, had told him about the situation in the RuptureFarms. Aparently the boss was a bit down or something, he didn’t know if KK7 was simply laughing at him or if Outsider had that sense of humour. On the other side, there had been some security problems, or so KK7 had said.

He simply opened the door that would get them into the facility, not really caring for anything in his line of sight except for the sign that said *Stairs to Grinders* at one side. At least they had the signs to tell people… he had thought of MUCH less if things were going badly, really.

“Wait, wait… Where are you going?” KK7 asked, getting a little nervous while still over his friend’s body “I don’t want to get in with people already! I thought of a simple meeting with the boss or a lone high class worker! Not getting right into the building!”

“Cant you get serious for once?” Dbreak grunted, shaking a bit so his friend hold still “If they have problems the last thing they would have done is to take a look at a pair of papers where our applications are” He snorted “But I didn’t bought the idea of them getting them, or wasting time to read them when you said you sent the applications, or, simply, that they would let us in that easy since they could be thinking we are here to sabotage or something… So I made two copies only in case”

KK7 cursed under his breath, not caring to hide the words in his native tongue as he saw the sign of *Security office* unable to see anything or anyone else, including his friend. He feared he was going to be surrounded by people so fast that he would not be able to relax. The worst was to think if any girl or a Vykker was to be there…

“Wait!” He yelled, gripping his friend’s tentacles “DON’T do this to me!”

“It was YOUR idea to get here” The big bro huffed “We can still go back and try our luck… OR become outlaws if things don’t go as well as you think”

KK7 grumbled, letting go the grip on his friend’s face as he begun to growl.

“Don’t f***ing care… Just get everyone away from me” KK7 hissed, his mood was awful now.

“You are going to have to live with it buddy, so get friendly fast and try to not bomb the place down” Dbreak said with a chuckle as he approached the security room.

He left the bags on the ground and knocked at the door gently… gently as in making the sound loud enough to be heard in the whole farm that is. He was not a guy that got in the subtle mode when knocking, most the times the doors went down since he could hardly control his strength.

Asides that he kneeled down a bit to open one of his bags and take two pieces of paper with a photo of his friend and his as well as their resumes. It was good to be prepared if they really didn’t have those or didn’t pay attention to them. Chances were that they would be shoot down or something if they were to appear here so suddenly, with those looks and with no way of showing they were telling the truth.

“I can’t yet believe you ate the damn map but you made sure to make copies of that s***” KK7 grumbled, still pissed at the thought they would probably get in with a lot of people. He would prefer to get into problems.

“Shut up and smile” Dbreak cut him off, getting ready for a bit of a harsh welcome.

Well, he was more than ready since they didn’t pay attention to anything or anyone on the way and it wouldn’t be precisely the nicest thing to do, as probably anyone would find the pair more than suspicious.

He simply shrugged and KK7 grunted as they waited in front of the security room, one hopping to get someone’s attention and the other praying to not do so.

[Sloghut1027]

OOC: Alright, Imma Join this. (I ish Newb)

Name: Zim

Race: Mudokon (male)

Age: Think 13 in Human Years

Appearance: He's looks like your adverage Mud, except his skin a the same purple as the Vykers

Personality: Smarter than you might think, he loves working out puzzles and investigating things. He will never admit that he is wrong, even when he is. He avoids violence, and relies on his quick tongue to get him out of sticky situations.

Equipment: His wit, he hides a Spoocebow he found once in case he can't talk his way out...

History: He was hatched in Vyker Labs, and he always wanted to study science. The Vykers came to recognize him as a fellow vyker, and altered his skin color as a sign of that. When Abe and Munch blew up The labs, he was out on investigation. With no job, he decided to get a job at Rupture Farms, a little tired with Science, wanting to try something new...

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

IC: Zim stepped off the train and got his first real look at Rupture Farms. "Well, this looks promising (sarcasm). Oh well, I'm sure it won't be too bad." He entered the structure and decided to walk around aimlessly. He figured it would ease his nervousness.

[Jimmy-le-sniper]

-----OOC-----

@Sloghut1027 : Alright, it seems that you forgot a few things in your post so, I'll better point this out now

First, you must specify whether your message (or a part of it) is said by you ("Out Of Character" or more commonly "OOC") or said by your character ("In Character" or "IC")

Also, when someone starts to RP for the very first time here, a detailed profile of the character should be posted in the Profile Thread and also in your first post on this thread.

You're so more than welcome to use the "Edit" button and modify your post accordingly.

Anyway, have a good RP experience and welcome to Rupture Farms

@Everyone else : Lol, it seems that everyone is waiting for Splat to come back from holidays to post or something

[Sloghut1027]

OOC: I added my profile to my last post, so it's a little clearer now
W@RF looks fun, so I can't wait to get started

[MarsMudoken]

OOC: However there's a terrorist inside.

Moi'.

[enchilado]

[ -- Erp --]

Erp flushed the lavatory and hurried out of the bathrooms, doing up his loincloth. He'd told Slen to go ahead, because he could run to catch up, but running with your hands chained behind your back is kinda difficult.

He found Slen hitting his head against the console of the Main Lift. "Hey!" he said, coming up. "I think it's this way." He pointed toward Dripik's office [which is where? Oh darn, I need that map...]

[ -- Tok -- ]

Tok went up a flight of stairs, out of the building's ruined half, and after a few turns he heard the voices of Flad and Borso. Well, he said to himself, well. That native's still around here somewhere, and I'll still kill him I find the damn thing, but for now I might as well try and calm down.

"Uh, Borso?" he called, as he came around the corner to them. "Flad?"

[ -- ooc --]

Marswell stop attacking that terrorist now, eh?

[Gretin]

OOC:

Lol, it seems that everyone is waiting for Splat to come back from holidays to post or something

I'm waiting for Mars to post IC before I can do anything with Hembar, and I thought I might as well just wait for Splat before Jim and Ralph do anything more - unless the RP moves unexpectedly fast before he gets back

Welcome to the RP Sloghut1027!
