Running through the desolation of southern New Mexico, not far from the Mexican border, is Interstate 10.  Further south and much less storied than the former Route 66, Interstate 10 is the domain of long-haul truckers, motorcycle gangs, drug-runners, and a few RVers and others.

And, lately, something else.

Dotting the landscape are older, abandoned places: Gold Rush and other mining towns, Old West watering holes, and Cold War vintage military installations.  Most are more rust than anything else, forgotten.  Most are harmless, except for the hazards of uncovered wells and mine shafts, and decaying structures.

However, one of these forgotten relics, should never have been forgotten.

The site lies a few miles west of the small desert town of Deming, New Mexico, near where State Route 418 branches off from the Interstate.  At the junction is a wide spot in the road that's home to a few hundred souls who work at the gas stations and truck stops dedicated to vacationers and long-haul truckers.  And, more recently, servicing the motorcycle gangs, human smugglers and drug-runners that began to grow more numerous back in the Nineties and flourished as the economy tumbled.  Most of the businesses have gleaming, shiny fronts...with wide expanses of weed-encrusted, sun-blasted tarmac in the back, separated from Mexico proper only by a few miles of desert, rocks and tumbleweeds.  It's there, out of sight of the casual tourists and most of the legitimate long-haul truckers, where almost anything can be bought and sold.  Everything from RVs to abandoned boxcars from a spur line that was decommissioned in 1981 dot the landscape in a small, ramshackle version of Sodom and Gomorrah.

A few hundred yards from the junction lies an abandoned Army outpost.



Left alone for some time, except for the occasional teenage dare or desert tryst, it gained the attention of scavengers when commodity prices soared back in the mid-2000s.  Thousands of pounds of copper were left lying around, so it was only a matter of time until it was found, and exploited. 



The scavengers left behind odd graffiti as they delved more deeply into the facility.  While the rust had indeed never slept, the inner sections of the complex were better preserved.

And then, they came to a wall that contained much copper, and even gold alloys:

And once that wall was removed, what it had been designed to keep from the world...was now free to re-enter the world...

I'm envisioning this as a free-form game with a small group of females.  The group need not begin the adventure together.  This is going to be a GM-driven story rather than one where players are simply cast into a milieu and left to fend for themselves.  This will be part mystery, as your character will not be aware of the true nature of the area until she gets there.  Your character could have any one of a number of reasons for happening upon the complex.  And the abandoned facility is far from the only danger in the area, especially for women: the Mexican drug gangs working and passing through the area would gladly abduct a stray woman if they were able to do so.  I'm picturing everything from amateur adventurers to college students on spring break to maybe a middle-aged RVer who just happens to stop there.

There is going to be plot and mystery here, not to mention a threat to the larger area that the character(s) will have to figure out how to respond to.  There will also be sex in the story, including rough, nasty NC sex at the hands of humans and humanoid monsters.  So this is not a lighthearted tale, and isn't for the squeamish.

Yo there, OldSchoolGamer, this idea looks quite interesting. I'd be happy to play an unsuspecting female thrusted into some modern day nightmare.

Cool...go ahead and flesh her out.

OldSchoolGamer

Looks like we have one taker so far.  I'm going to cap this at three, to make sure I can give each character all the love and attention she needs.   >:)

Behemoth

Hey. This concept sounds very intriguing. I'm keen to play a beautiful heroine for this one. I'll start working on a character profile and PM you with it when it's done. Thanks.

Mystic Mika

Just tell me what I need to do and maybe we can work something out.  :-*
definately want to give it a shot.

Name: Kady Adams
Age: 29
Brief Bio:
Kady, known to most people as Miss Adams is a hard nosed defense lawyer from New Jersey. After defending a client down in Texas, she's on her way to sunny California for a weeks vacation with some friends who live in San Diego.

Kady is used to getting her way and being in a position of authority. She is the youngest partner at her law firm and also it's brightest star. She's been featured in several papers, including the Times after successfully defending mob boss Carlo D'Angelo from racketeering charges.

She does believe strongly in justice and right and wrong, but that also includes the right of the accused to a strong defense. Knowing she's successfully defended some very guilty men and women has driven her to have a bit of a drinking habit to ease some of the guilt she sometimes feels.

She has family back in New Jersey, including a younger sister and brother, both entering the medical field for surgery and psychiatry respectively. Her father is a noted neurosurgeon and her mother an assistant DA.

Brief Description: 5'8, Blonde, and Blue eyed, she has curves and dresses in business attire that accentuates her figure while still looking classy.

Coolies.  Now did you want to adventure alone or team up with one or more of the other players?

Apple of Eris

I hadn't even thought of that. Uhm... how's about we see what they come up with and if anyone else's character fits and is up for it we could be a twosome?

No problem.  Just let me know what you and the other player(s) want to do, or if at any time you want to sally forth alone.

Just waiting on characters from the rest...

Well, at this point the first people to produce characters get in, so...you've still got a spot.

Behemoth

Name: Jayden Kenner
Concept: The ‘Bad Girl’/Deviant
Occupation: Prostitute / Porn star (starting out, non-mainstream)
Age: 25
Height: 5’8”
Weight: ? (A girl never tells)
Hair: Dark brown
Eyes: Blue
Measurements: 36D-26-36
Description: Tall, busty, classic porn star looks. Enhanced breasts, tanned skin and slightly over-done makeup. She has tattoos on her lower back, arm, left hip (a floral design) and a bellybutton piercing. Jayden usually wears her hair tied back, sunglasses and good quality, revealing clothing that catches the eye of passing men. She doesn’t go out of her way to look like a pro, if anything she looks like a pretty regular girl off the beeches of California which usually leaves most people guessing as to her occupation.


Background:
Born in California 11.11.1985 to blue collar parents, Jayden had aspirations of one day owning her own business and settling down in a Venice beachfront apartment. That dream has long since been forgotten.

Jayden was a smart student, but a troublemaker at school and although her family was far from wealthy, she got into college. It was while she was at college that Jayden’s wilder side truly took over and she spent more time partying, drinking and sleeping around than studying.

Thanks to her naturally ‘sexy’ look and outgoing, flirtatious nature, she was offered work as a stripper at a local club. To her the money was simply too good to say no. Since this start in the adult entertainment industry, Jayden has never looked back. The next step was a little hooking on the side from the strip club. She started out occasionally giving blowjobs to the good-looking punters who offered her plenty of cash. This slowly developed until she was earning much better money from the sex and working fewer hours too, compared to the stripping, not to mention the fact that she genuinely enjoyed promiscuous sex. In the end she gave up the stripping in favour of full-time hooking, mostly from a brothel, but occasionally independently on the streets along the beach front and downtown. She avoided the worse areas of the city.

She made good money, enough that she could mostly pick and choose her clients until one such client (a porn producer) offered her a minor role in a porn film, paying even better than the hooking. Her new career had begun. She has now featured in a number of porn films for several small companies, however she is still only a little-known name in the industry and is yet to gain much exposure.

Jayden’s hyper lifestyle and restless nature have left her life in chaos and landed her in trouble with the law on a number of occasions for a mix of offences including prostitution, public indecency, theft and assault. She also accumulated a sizable debt for fines accrued and thanks to a nasty car crash which left her Dodge Charger a wreck.

While getting her car fixed she was left unable to pay off the charges. The mechanic, (a guy name Brandt Ryan), who at first seemed like a nice guy, gave Jayden a month to pay off the debt. When Jayden was still unable to pay at the end of the month, she soon learnt that Brandt was in fact the leader of a bikie gang and heavily involved in several criminal enterprises including smuggling and drug dealing. She was forced to spend a week driving drugs all over the city to start paying off her debts, until Brandt called her in one day and made her an offer to ‘wipe the slate clean’. Apparently Brandt happened to have seen Jayden in a few of her films and was quite a fan. His brother Gavin was having his 40th birthday and he wanted her to be his present – she would be the entertainment for the night. In return he would erase her debts. It was an offer Jayden couldn’t refuse - saying no would be MUCH worse than simply staying in debt to these people.

The party was going to take place at a ranch down in New Mexico and it was going to be huge event. Jayden would have to drive down there. She wasn’t stupid, she knew what this night would involve. But what choice did she have? In a way it seemed kind of exciting, the chance to get away from the city, go somewhere out of the way and party, hell, the idea of sex with strangers was something she’d gotten used to years ago.

So Jayden packed her things and left the city. Unfortunately for her she got lost looking for the ‘ranch’ she’d been told about. She too a wrong turn off Route 10 and ended up lost in the desert…

Sounds good.  Anyone who wants to begin the adventure with anyone else is free to negotiate a common starting point with said player and inform me so I can come up with an opener catering to both characters.  Or, if you want to enter alone, let me know and I'll get you started.

Mystic Mika

Name: Michelle Lindsay
Occupation: Model/Waitress
Age: 23
Height: 5'7
Weight:123lbs

Description: As a young and aspiring model, Michelle knows how difficult it can be to follow your dreams. Michelle is smart, quick to put things together, and not afraid to use her looks to get her out of trouble. Not being one to just sleep around however, she prefers to flirt and use the promise of something to come to get what she needs, but only when it is necessary.



Bio: You'll have to ask her. ;)

A broke down car on the side of the road, and no cell phone reception. Oh no

Aww... too slow. Well let me know if room becomes available.

Mystic Mika

I am open to being picked up by someone who drives by, or really any way to get me with the rest of the group.

Behemoth

Jayden is no 'do-gooder' but she'd certainly stop to help someone broken down by the side of the road (such as Michelle). She'd be wary and somewhat less friendly to a classy, good-looking female (seeing her as a sort of rival I guess). But yeah, Jayden would stop to help her out, if you're happy for our characters to start together Mystic?

Problem is - Jayden's lost, so she might not be that much help! lol

Mystic Mika

Thats fine, though I doubt Michelle will be dressed so fancy out on the road. And it doesn't matter if Jayden is lost because we have to end up at the base anyways.

Yay, char sheet. Hey Mystic Mika, I'm happy for my character to drive by yours.


Name: Valerie Anderson
Occupation: Student
Age: 23
Height: 5’6”
Hair: Dirty blonde
Eyes: Blue
Description: While looking attractive, a girlish face with soft features framed by her shoulder length hair, Valerie has a smile that tended to freak people out, especially when it came from such a cute little face. She has an athletic body mainly due to her daily runs where she claims “Helps dealing with her personal problems”.  She usually likes dressing up in casual clothes (a plain while shirt with a light green skirt)

Personality: Valerie has a cheerful yet somewhat demented personality, she is easily approachable and friendly, but very unforgiving of people that wrongs her. She’s overall a patient person.

Background:
After a series of unfortunate events and the unbearable boredom at University, she decided to take a solo trip around the country side to freshen her mind up. Very well prepared for her little mini adventure, she happily left her problematic life in the dust… at least for a while.
