    I edited a slight few things in the description. And it's always a good idea to read through it over again to refresh the memory, eh? :p

    Character alias:
    Ghost

    Birth name:
    Benjamin Soprano

    Hair colour:
    Dark brown

    Eye colour:
    Extraordinarily light brown. Orange to the un-trained eye

    Hairstyle:
    Many thick well-made Dreadlocks with a few golden beads in it, reaching down to his shoulders. The ones that would be hanging in front of his face are combed backwards.

    Facial hair:
    None.

    Clothing/Armour:
    Wears an unrecognizable grey camouflaged suit that is barely visible under his thick, heavy, dark brown coat which is stuffed with bulletproof plates. The coat has two pockets on the chest-area and on the sides of the legs. The leg-part is splitted in two parts lying around his legs with spaces in between, allowing the man to walk/run easier. It goes down to just covering the leg-protecters made of thick metal-plates. He also wears a pair of black leather gloves along with a wide equippment-belt around his waist outside of the coat.

    Weapons:
    On his back there is a long, black, slightly curved sword-sling with a sword-handle sticking down into it. On the bottom of the handle there is a shining silver ring hanging from a short but strong thread. An HKG36K on the side of his backpack. On the side of his belt, there is an unusual pistol which is thin, but tall and long. It has a thread wrapped several times around the handle, and beside it, there are some syringes in his belt aswell.

    Other equipment:
    An average-sized backpack containing an S10 gasmask with tinted lenses, a few filters, a few medkits, an attachable silencer, a bandana with an attached flashlight as well as some various cantines of food and water.

    Other details:
    The man is very tall, but quite skinny. He seems to be older than 40 and his voice is very deep. Almost as deep as if it makes the walls vibrat when he talks.

    Also, I made this screenshot in Garry's Mod:
    [​IMG]
    Those of you who have seen and read my previous Metro-cartoon probably recognize Sung to the right with a strange weapon I don't know the name of, a cigarette in his mouth and a katana on his back. Kimii to the left with some strange short version of the AK47 and a katana on her back as well. Three dead people, one chopped in half and gutted out :p Two guards in the back with each their AK47 and a worker behind them working on one of the traincarts with a german gas mask. And then of course, there's Benjamin in the center with his HKG36K, katana and tranquilizer gun. Hope ya like it :D

    the weapon looks like a HK G36 assault rifle, standard german army version with fixed optical sight and no underbarrel grenade launcher, with 5.56x45 Nato rounds. I'm after the airsoft version of that rifle actually. just waiting for my local airsoft shop to get it.

    Not sure when I'll hop into the roleplay, but it'll be soon!

    Character alias:

    Inzhener (Russ. for engineer)

    Birth name:

    Bogdan (Arkadyevich) Tsavets

    Gender:

    Male

    Age:

    43

    Hair colour:

    Dark Brown

    Eye colour:

    Hazel

    Hairstyle:

    Short, almost shaved


    Facial hair:


    None

    Other physical features:

    He is just short of six feet tall, with long arms and a build that is the slightest bit stocky. He constantly has dark circles under his eyes.

    Occupation:

    Previously he worked as an engineer at Kuzhnetsky Most (Armory).
    Currently, he is an amateur stalker.


    Clothing/Armour:


    He wears a full CBRN protective suit on the surface, along with a load-bearing rig for ammo and equipment. Under the suit, he wears olive drab fatigues and a sweat-stained t-shirt emblazoned with the Grateful Dead logo.

    Weapons:

    His primary weapon is an early model of the Tihar rifle. Along with it, he carries an M1895 Nagant double-action revolver, which includes a massive home-brewed silencer (unique among revolvers, the Nagant can be silenced due to its design and ammunition.) In addition, he carries an assisted-open folding knife with a 4-inch blade. Finally, he possesses an antique straight razor, which he treasures.


    Other equipment:


    Bogdan uses an old Russian Army load-bearing vest along with an improvised frame pack to hold his gear. For sustenance, he carries several canteens, a miniature water filtration pump, and whatever long-wearing food he can get. His other equipment includes extra cartridges for the Nagant, many ball-bearings for the Tihar, a few special flechette rounds for the Tihar, a headlamp, a universal charger, a bedroll, binoculars, a miniature toolkit, and a tiny woodstove.

    Backstory:

    Bogdan graduated from the University with a degree in mechanical engineering with the class of 2013. Before he got a chance to use his newly learned skills, the bombs dropped. He made it into the Metro and found his way to Kuzhnetsky Most, where he was finally able to use his engineering knowledge. He worked there designing and building weapons for years. His magnum opus, of course, was the rifle that would become the Tihar. For a little while, he made a pretty penny selling his rifles. However, a fellow engineering made a few modifications to Bogdan's design, making it cheaper and easier to manufacture. With his price undercut, he could no longer make money, and attempts at designing new weapons failed. He exhausted his modest store of MGR, and fell into a depression: He felt his life was purposeless. Finally, he decided he would see the surface one more time before he left the world. When he went up, however, the sight of the ruined city filled him with a new sense of purpose:he would work, somehow, to reestablish mankind's hold on the surface. For now, though, he needed a source of income. He decided to take up stalking. His first trip to the surface, he found nothing of value and nearly lost his life to a demon. His second trip, however, he hit the jackpot. He was running away from a demon when the beast suddenly landed in front of him. Its weight collapsed the ceiling of a heretofore hidden cache of surplus military equipment. In the demon's initial confusion after falling through the floor, Bogdan killed it and looted the place. He discovered his trademark CBRN suit, along with enough equipment to both outfit himself and earn cartridges. Now, he travels the Metro, looking for scholars who could help mankind's return to the surface, periodically stalking up above to support himself...


    Other Details:


    Bogdan Tsavets jumps at any chance to implement his engineering acumen. However, he has a hard time feeling "connected" to other people, especially groups.


    A question: how do I join the simple roleplay?

    Wait until we reach a suitable location, like an uninhabited station, a friendly station, or perhaps you could be a slave of the Satanists we're chasing. Just make it logical.

    Character alias: Sharp

    Birth name: Unknown. Named Sergei by guardian.

    Gender: Male

    Age: 22

    Hair color: Sandy Blonde

    Eye color: Blue

    Hairstyle: Shaggy and curly (Ear length)

    Facial hair:
    Light stubble

    Other physical features: Light build, Long fingers and big hands. Standing just over 6 feet tall with slender features and pale skin(from living in the metro his whole life;))

    Occupation: Stalker

    Clothing/Armour: Sharp is equip with a light set of leather armor to retain mobility and stealth. A pair of steel toe leather boots and black balaclava and black leather gloves. All his gear is scavenged from dead stalkers or from Nazi caravans and settlements, so he is fairly well equip.

    Tihar and VSV (no scopes). Silenced pistol. Small 4 inch serrated knife, throwing knives and a couple pipe-bombs.

    Other equipment: Night vision goggles, headlamp, binoculars, small first aid kit with basics. Old stainless steel Zippo lighter. Swiss army knife with all the goodies. Ammo.

    Backstory: Sergei Sharp or "Sharp" as he is referred too. Born in the year 2012 one year before the bombs fell. He was lucky to be in the metro with his mother when moscow was hit. His mother was killed by bandits and left for dead in an abandoned tunnel when a stalker came across the scene and saved his life when he was only 2 years old. He was given the name Sergei and then "Sharp" for being a smart-ass and a dead-eye shot in his teenage years. Raised under a successful stalker he quickly learned the ropes to survive on his own. He is now 22 and has been a stalker for about 4 years.
    Favoring stealth and guerrilla tactics when in dangerous areas. Sharp always rolls solo. He makes a good amount of bullets selling rare goods from the surface and from careless fools he encounters. Sharp is becoming notorious for being able to acquire rare items for customers in the metro. He will acquire these items by any means necessary. Sharp is a difter and has no real home station. He has become well known by traders and wealthy clients for doing excellent business.

    Yeah, so I found a pretty awesome server on Garry's Mod where they run Metro2033RP with their own customly made maps, playermodels, props, items etc. Pretty cool, just a shame that they don't have the Benjamin-model there :p

    So, anyway, I started Single Player on one of their surface-maps, and did a quick posing with some of their models. There's Benjamin meeting three friendly rangers. One of them has the hellsing, banjo and the flashlight-charger. And of course there's the one with the sniper from Last Light. Guess the pictures were leaked long enough for them to make a model of it for Garry's Mod, huh? :p (There's a pretty easily found easter egg in the pic as well).

A flashlight and extra batteries, and a lighter.

    Backstory: Melnikov was born and raised in Moscow. His mother took him and his sister, into the metro when it all when down in 2013. When he was 15, they were captured by satanists. During a firefight between the satanists and the Reds, he and his sister escaped, leaving their mother behind. They were taken in by the Reds and lived on the Red Line for a while. While there, he learned quite a bit about gunsmithing and working with heavy weapons. After a few years, however, Melnikov grew weary of the Reds' policies and left. His sister chose to stay behind. Since then, he has been wandering the metro, acting as a stalker at times. *He acquired most of his equipment and weapons from a group of Rangers who were slaughtered by mutants* Recently, he ran into an old friend, who told him that his sister had left the Red Line and hadn't been seen in weeks. He hinted that she might have been taken prisoner by the Nazis. Melnikov was worried, and wanted to look for her, but first, he needed to head up to the surface to get some supplies...

    Name: Genadi Mistovanka

    Nick name: 'Gena'

    Age:28

    Gender:Male

    Hair: dark brown (about an inch long) no facial hair

    Eyes: deep blue

    Physical features: 6'1" average lean build, bullet scar on the left side of his chest, branded with a star (communist red star) on right shoulder.

    Gear/equipment: Gorka E (partizan camo), partizan camo pants over a pair of black cargo trousers and a dark green wool sweater. Smersh rig (AK configuration). K6-3 helmet (black). Brown leather gloves and black balaclava. Green and black army boots. Knee/elbow pads. PMK gas mask with mirror lenses. Basic food and medical supplies. And most importantly, a watch (to be revealed)

    Weapons: AK-74m with a PKAS sight, dual G17 (Crome slide), combat knife and two RDG-1 grenades.


    Back story: being born in the confines of the metro Gena never had the luxury of seeing the sun or smelling the fresh summer air. Instead he was trapped in a small station at the edge of the Red line. Life was rough but not as soul crushing as the rest of the stations inhabitants. You see, Gena's father was a very important man. The head of the station to be exact. For 21 years Gena lived as happy a life one can live in the metro with his parents getting ready for the day his father would pass down the crown and let him serve his 'term'. Sadly this would never be. Days before Gena's rule was to be announced both his mother and father where gunned down in their house. The number one suspect? Gena. Luckily Gena managed to escape the station the same night with a loaded gun guiding his way. Behind it, the real killer. Igom, the drunk guard master. Apparently his current job didn't fit his ambitions. Following him were his two favorite henchmen, Dmitri and vasily. Gena was lead down the tracks to the border of the station and put on his knees. And with one final shot Igom put a slug in Gena's chest.

    The head master and his wife were dead. Their son seen fleeing from the station (according to testimonies from Dmitri and Vasily) and missing. It wasn't long before Igom got the 'throne' that he wanted and posters with Gena's photo reading 'dead or alive' began to appear threw out the metro. Sadly, you can't hunt a dead man. Then again the hatred collected in Gena's heart proved to strong for one bullet to silence. Well that or Igom was so drunk that he missed Gena's heart.

    After lying on the ground for hours Gena got to his feet and stumbled to the next station, passing out as he reached the gates. Darkness ensued until Gena opened his eyes once more and realized he was all alone for the first time in his life and left with the scar of his old life. But death has its benefits, and revenge was #1

    "Can't kill a dead man"

    Birth Name: Datsik, Fyodor Geka.

    Known Aliases: "Fy".

    Gender: Male.

    Age: 16 Years Old.

    Home Station: Turgenevskaya Station (Cursed Station in the Game).

    Hair color: Brown/Dirty Blond.

    Eye color: Bluish Gray.

    Hairstyle: Short and Messy.

    Facial Hair: Thin Five O'clock Shadow.

    Ethnicity: East Slavic.

    Languages Spoken: Russian, Ukrainian, German (a little).

    Other Physical Features: Medium muscle build for his age. Fyodor's teenage hormones often tamper with his height and limp length which makes keeping a decent pair of clothing difficult. Living in the Metro, it almost seems impossible. Two indentations run down his right cheek, healed wounds from a lurker attack. Fyodor has two finger ring tattoos, both of which are located on his right hand. One of them is a circle, with half of the circle being black, and the other half being white. This tattoo is located on his pinky. Fyodor's other tattoo is located on his ring finger and is a circle with a dot in the middle.

    Occupation: Stalker, in partial definition. A stalker in the sense that he searches the surface for valuable supplies though he does not occasionally put himself in harms way for the good of the Metro and her citizens. He is only a stalker to feed his little brother Yuri. He will however put himself in harms way for Yuri's sake.

    Clothing/Armour: Fyodor has different outfits depending on the adaption needed to survive the location. While in the Metro Fyodor commonly wears a blank tank top, faded green combat pants, and worn out combat boots. A blue kerchief is tied around Fyodor's neck. Fyodor has a pair of goggles perched on the top of his head and his hands are covered by black, finger less gloves. On the surface, Fyodor wears the same thing but with a grey military bomber jacket. Many different colored patches of fabric are sewn onto the jacket so as to cover wears and tears made during his expeditions as well as an old world soviet military patch. As necessary to survive, Fyodor wears a gas mask while on the surface but does not carry a spare for himself. His only extra mask is worn by Yuri. Despite all of this equipment, Fyodor has very little armor compared to your avenge stalker. The armor he does has includes a ballistic vest and knee pads. Yuri is dressed in an all gray jumpsuit, an old aviator cap, three layers of socks, two layers of mittens, and a buttoned up blue coat.

    Weapons: A hatchet with a polished wooden handle is strapped to Fyodor's right thigh. Fyodor has an extremely old but yet well preserved Mosin-Nagant, which he carries by hand when Yuri is on his back. A grimy bayonet is attached to the bottom of the Mosin-Nagant's barrel. An eight times scope, which he obtained at Mendeleevskaya, is attached to the Mosin-Nagant. An old revolver is found in the left side of Fyodor's shoulder hostler or tucked into front of Fyodor's pants. Fyodor's main weapon is an AKS-74u which he scavenged from the tunnels. The Kalash is personalized with a suppressor and fore grip. Ammunition is of small quantity for Fyodor due to situation and his unique firearms. He normally has only twelve rounds for his revolver, one magazine of five rounds for his Mosin-Nagant, and two twenty-five round magazines for his personalized AKS-74u.

    Other Equipment: Fyodor normally has Yuri on his back so he does not carry a bag often, instead Yuri has their small rucksack which contains a weeks rations for the both of them, some toys for Yuri, and any items the brothers have scavenged from the ash of the old world. A wooden triangle guitar is strapped to the side of the bag. All things essential to Fyodor's survive are attached to a climbing harness he uses as a belt. Fyodor's pockets are stuffed with two spare filters, a flashlight, an extra battery, one med kit, a compass, and a map of old Moscow. He also has a digital, yet somewhat slow, wrist watch. Fyodor also wears a shoulder hostler over his ballistic vest. In addition to all this, Fyodor has a working motorcycle hidden somewhere in Metro tunnels. Unnecessary parts and metal sidings were removed from the bike as to reduce weight and increase speed. The motorcycle, while not completely silent, is an excellent way to get around the Metro without having to use the noisier and path forced rail-cars.

    Backstory: Fyodor Geka Datsik was born circa 2018 in the Metro station of Turgenevskaya. His father was a local merchant and possible member of the Metro's organized criminal syndicates and his mother worked in the community kitchen. During his early years, Fyodor's would tag along on his father's expeditions across surface trading routes with his father's friends from other stations along the Orange Line. These expeditions taught Fyodor how to use a rifle, how to track an animal, and how to survive on the surface. All of which are skills Fyodor would later use in his life. A few months after his eleventh birthday Fyodor's father was lost, like many a Metro travelers, to the mysterious tunnels. The only things he left behind were some clothing, an ancient rifle, a family photograph, his son, and a newly pregnant wife. All of the family's valuable items were taken with him on the trading run as credit.

    This was only the beginning of Fyodor and Turgenevskaya station's misfortune. Radiation leaks appeared from time to time in Turgenevskaya. Fyodor's family lived his poverty. His mother worked three jobs while Fyodor himself turned to common criminal actions he learned through the help of his father's friends. Fyodor learned how to be quick with his hands, be quick on his feet, to fight like a man, and more importantly, how to take a beating. Just more skills he would later use in the endless nightmare called life in the Metro. Within the first year of Fyodor's father's disappearance Yuri was born. Yuri barely survived his birth. The cells in charge of creating his vocal cords and other parts of his throat were mutated by the radiation his fetus was constantly exposed to. It was a miracle that he could even breath. Yet all miracles have their down sides. There was no screaming when Yuri was born, just kicking. Yuri is a mute. This is not all bad though, in the Metro it normally pays to be the strong silent type.

    Mutant attacks drastically increased during that year. Many people packed up and vanished into the same tunnels as Fyodor's father. Nosalisis sniffed the fear in the remaining survivors. Large packs of lurkers barked all night, most nights from outside the gates. More and more people left every day until finally there weren't enough to properly defend the station. That's when things got really bad. The attacking mutants became more and more confident. One night, lurkers broke through the gate and swarmed the station. Fyodor's mother died protecting Yuri from the savage beasts. This spawned a small hatred for lurkers within Fyodor. The next morning Fyodor left Yuri with a local woman and, along with a large group of the remaining survivors, tracked the local pack of lurkers to their nest and exterminated them.

    Darkness filled Fyodor in his teen years. Through his father's friends, Fyodor was able to create many contacts within the criminal groups of the Orange Line. Substance selling, thieving, stalking. These became a regular routine for him. All of which he did to support Yuri. It is for Yuri that Fyodor went to the surface every day, looking for anything valuable to trade for food. When Yuri turned three they left Turgenevskaya station to try their luck on the surface. Things were only getting worse in the station, even with the local lurker nest destroyed.

    Its been a year since they were last seen. Standing at the airlock, Yuri's hand wrapped tightly around Fyodor's, who carried the rifle in the other. Gas masks reflecting the moonlight as the two climbed up into the howling winds of the surface. Never to been seen by the Turgenevskaya station members again. It is said that they still survive up there. But of course nothing bad would ever happen to Yuri, Fyodor wouldn't let it. Fyodor will do anything to protect his younger brother and for good reason. Yuri is his innocence. The only thing keeping his sanity in check. Yuri is his silent angel. Yuri is his beacon among the darkness of the Metro. Yuri is his last light.
