Latheblade
Epitaph Entry
Cracked and Ruined, the City was an empty shell.
Unfinished scaffolding endured like a ribcage of bone bleached by the unforgiving urban sun. Bare metal and shattered glass of destroyed skyscrapers gleamed like teeth. Hulking cement buildings stripped of all decorations but graffiti stood like tensed beasts ready to strike. Few places had been left with electricity in the aftermath of whatever unknown disaster had left the city with its belly upturned and bleeding.
As if that wasn’t enough to make such a place so hospitable. There was no way out. The City just seemed to go on forever, until you reached the sea on the western side. Even then, any boats were useless and rafts were often swallowed up.
There was no escape, no. Only survival.
The cement, brick and steel of this city harbor a secret.
<What City DOESN’T?>
In the shadows of subways, car parks and sewers alike, hiding in alleyways and waiting on the streets…
<You turn away ONCE and you’re as good as dead.>
One Hundred Thousand Zombies.
<That’s not even your biggest problem>
Twenty Thousand Mutant Creatures.
<These aren’t your mother’s raccoons. Seriously.>
Three Thousand Demons.
<Frankenstein ain’t got shit on this.>
And give or take forty people, humans, just like you and me… except they’re experiments.
No one knows why it’s like this. No one knows who’s in charge of it.
At this point, no one seems to care.
There’s no Escape. No Revenge. Just survival.
<The only thing keeping us alive is the company we provide each other.>
<And I’m liking people less and less…>

It's been a while since I've REALLY attempted a multifandom/AU project and lately I've been in the mood for something like that again... and quite a bit darker than my usual fare.
Prettymuch, this is just the hook. If I haven't gotten your attention then you probably won't care about the rest of what I'm going to say.
Anyone is welcome to join in on this if they are interested, OCs and fandom characters alike are welcome, provided you can fit them into the context.
THIS. Is an urban-decay-based plotline that is prettymuch set up like a videogame. Characters work with a partner (not unlike TWEWY) hunting zombies and just surviving in general. A good deal of the characters placed in the Latheblade Colosseum City have been genetically, mechanically or magically tampered with and have some sort of power. Some of them don't even know it. They travel the seemingly endless city, and with "Med Stations" set up periodically, they restock on food, water, and if they are lucky, ammo.
There's a bit more to it, but I wanted to see if anyone was interested before diving into it.
My own set of characters I plan for using in this (they're the ones I've also used in little test-skirmish Latheblade RPs with ~EvanaDarkenstar and ~vazette ) are Trowa Barton(Gundam Wing), Minamimoto Sho(TWEWY), Beat(TWEWY), RamJak( my fella <: ) annnnd... a couple of my villains, Clockwork, Drej and Shadowcat.

<<; I like this idea after putting my Abby and Izzy character in this place.
They make a great team wherever they are. Like sisters even.
I know Izzy would thrive in this place. >: not sure about Abby since she's more pacifistic... but she's good at surving in less than habitable areas.
:3 i'm intrigued by this idea.
