Across the Wasteland, that barren sea of sand and stone, rumors have spread far and wide. An armored stage coach moved across this landscape on it's way to a port town. From there, it will take a ship to an undisclosed location. Just for this event, the town of Farris has hired extra Drifters, mercenaries of the wasteland, to protect the carriage when it enters the town from bandits and brigands who are hot on it's trail. The story begins here, but where it ends is a mystery, even to those involved. After all, few know where the carriage is being shipped to from the increasingly barren continent.

ARM: A type of weapon that exists in the world of Filgaia. Comprised of a mix of ancient technology and man-made modifications, these weapons exist in multiple types. You're going to want one considering the bandits and monsters abound in the world.
Basic: Basic weapons are weapons that can be used by any person. These weapons are broken up into three catagories:
Ranged: Any type of fire arms fall under this type. These are some of the more common weapons used in the world and ammo is easy to come by. These weapons are as varied as they are plentiful.
Melee: Weapons such as swords, pile bunkers, whips, and any other kind of fascinating melee tool a person can find. THese weapons will sometimes have personal modifications by their user to make them more effective in melee combat, and are in general just as varied as guns, but less used.
Complex: Weapon combinations of melee and ranged. The most well known weapon is known as "Bayonet," which is a rifle combination with a giant bayonet that functions a sword for the user. Very few people in the wasteland are known for their mastery of these weapons.
Relic ARMs: Weapons created in ancient times that are used by people who share biorhythms with the original owners of the weapon. These weapons are said to be passed down from generation to generation and are very, very rare. Although biorhythms seem to be how these weapons decide in general, there is a consensus that these weapons can choose their users in some cases, but this is said to be almost unheard of.
Magic/Medium: Magic is a lost art that requires a medium, a spirit sealed with a stone plate, to wield. There are only a handful of mediums in the entire world, and they cannot be used by just anyone. They require affinity with an element and knowledge of their power to draw forth their full power. Also, use of mediums is immensely draining to the user as the world declines. Some records say that even so few as one cast a day leaves users physically drained.

Name: Zorlo
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 24
ARM: Complex: Seismic Quake: A complicated rifle created by Zorlo and his master before Zorlo's master left to continue his training in technology in secret. The weapon combines several components of different types of firearms, and the handle is detachable and becomes an energy sword when removed.
The basic weapon function is as a rifle. It fires .70 caliber bullets. Because the handle is removable, the weapon uses a pump similar to a shotgun pump in order to rotate the revolver-like chamber. The gun part carries only six bullets at once.
In order to reload the gun, Zorlo extends a rod attached to the right side of the weapon and pulls it towards the chamber, causing the chamber to release and allow him to change out the ammo. This also functions as a safety function, as the gun can't be fired until the rod is returned to the neutral position at the weapon's side.
Quake: The energy sword piece of the weapon. IT cannot be removed unless the handle is turned to the left until it unlocks and can be removed. After being removed, pulling the trigger creates a green blade of energy that Zorlo uses when he can't reload his weapon or is in limited range. Despite the blade of energy, this weapon cannot cut through other ARMs on virtue of its energy blade. The handle is not at all similar to a rifle stock, but instead a curved, grooved handle similar to a sword with a trigger.
Zorlo carries these weapons like a suitcase by a handle atop the barrel of the weapon.
Magic/Medium: None
Appearance:
Reason for heading to Farris: An adventure who wound up strapped for cash. He agreed to become a member of the Vanguard, a group hired to protect the caravan when it arrives in Farris. Known for the destructive power of his weapon and his raw, physical strength, Zorlo is ready for whatever is going to happen. Zorlo is also known for being left handed.
Name: Zachary
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 17
ARM: Airgetlam: A Relic Weapon machine gun that only responds to his biorhythm. This weapon has a rapid fire function and is reloaded by cartridges used for normal machine guns. He wields this weapon in his left hand. A small switch on the right side of this weapon releases a small knife-bayonet that Zachary uses in the rare times when he must fight in close range. This weapon has a holster kept on Zach's left leg.
Magic/Medium: Zachary had the unusual fortune of stumbling across, and acquiring, the Wind Medium. His skill with the wind medium is limited, but his magic strength is somewhat higher than normal humans, allowing him two or three blasts of wind before he is spent for the day. The Medium is kept under the bindings on his right arm.
Appearance:
Reason for Heading to Farris: A bandit known for his speed and skill in combat. He's attempting to knock over the carriage and take the treasure for himself. He is also notorious as having defeated a small group of goblins in a village by himself because of his tact and skill.
Name: Luca
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 26
ARM: Luca is known for his skill at wielding ARMs. Mostly, he is known for using two different arms that he carries at all time.
Siren's Edge: A slender long sword he keep right side of his belt. This sword isn't very complicated at all, but he is a master at quick drawing the double edged sword. It is said he can slash so fast that it actual releases waves from the sword when he attacks in a quickdraw manner.
XF Shark: Luca's Bayonet that he keeps along his back. This weapon is a rifle and very large bayonet mounted on it. This weapon can be outfitted with two different types of ammo: normal bullets and shotgun bullets. He keeps this weapon on his back with the rifle-butt on his right side. He can also draw this weapon very quickly, but can't as effectively quickdraw due to the nature of how the weapon is set.
Magic/Medium: None
Appearance:
Reasons in Farris: A man known for his uncouth nature and vulgar attitude. He's the current leader of the Farris' Vanguard unit. Despite the way he acts, he is known for his incredible physical strength and speed. It is said he's even fast enough to dodge and catch bullets with his bare hands, although that rumor has never been really substantiated. Even if it isn't completely true, he is dangerous indeed.
