The saga of Jack Castle and Marty Winger

    by: Grongo Author IconMail Icon
Here are our two main characters

Name: Jack Castle
Age: 45
Powers: increased resilience, size and strength
Appearance: Doc Castle's DNA has been fused with that of an African Elephant. As a result he stands at 7' 9" tall, his body is very bulky and stout. His head looks like that of an elephant, with tusks, ears and a trunk he can control easily. He has grey, leathery skin that is extremely thick and resistant to bullets and blunt trauma
Back Story: Doc Castle is one of the older surviving experiments. He was forced to survive in this harsh world from a young age, which made him develop a serious and stern demeanor, along with a very strong sense of honor. Those traits coupled with his high natural strength pushed him to become a lawman in the city of Junktown, one of the few civilized settlements in this ruined world. He can usually be found breaking up bar brawls, punishing outlaws or repelling raiders.

Name: Marty Winger
Age: 16
Powers: has a pair of black wings on his back which grant him flight
Appearance: Marty Winger's DNA has been fused with that of a Raven. He has black, messy feathers over his entire body, thin bird like legs and a beaked head resembling that of a raven. He has a pair of wings on his back, that he normally keeps tucked in.
Back Story: Marty's parents abandoned him to fend for himself at a very young age. He became a scavenger and street urchin, and he developed a cowardly and shy personality, often flying away at the slightest sign of danger. He eventually ended up in Junktown, where he met jack Castle. Jack decided to take the young raven boy under his wing, even making him his deputy. Thanks to Jack, Marty has become more confident, but he is still rather cowardly and shy, and likely to fly away in the event of a confrontation.

Our main setting:
Junktown
Junktown started out as a small trading post where travelers, merchants and nomads could exchange scavenged goods for water or food. More and more people elected to stay in Junktown, and it quickly grew into a small city, with around 400 inhabitants. Tall walls made out of scrap and old cars and trucks protect the city from raiders, but the only two lawmen, Jack Castle and Marty Winger struggle to keep the peace inside the walls.
