Breaking - the apocalypse

Coso - big town built around a geothermal power plant


Panic "Pan" nee Anna Wu (becomes Anna Flowers) - Japanese-Chinese American. 5'0", 30A-26-32, Pretty in a cute way,
                            27, but looks 20. Awakened. Her power is a relatively slow
                            healing factor, but it heals her from all negative conditions
                            including hunger and tiredness and even death. Was a fashion
                            student during the breaking. She was quite good at knitting
                            and sewing.

Tattoos description:
A red and gold dragon twined up her right leg and a snarling tiger covered her
left thigh. An stylized hand held a bundle of flowers out across her belly and the
underside of her breasts, and the fingertips flaked off in petals that blew away along
with petals of the flowers to float up along her left flank until they disappeared
beneath the ribbon she was clad in. Underdog had been able to see a pair of scorpions
dueling on her mid back when she did the handstand, and a school of multicolored fish
swam up her right arm, while her left was covered in geometric designs. She wasn't
just covered in ink though. Gems glittered in a constellation around her belly button
and dermal piercings accentuated the tattoos, giving the beasts that adorned her ruby
eyes or diamond claws. A jewel encrusted nose ring glittered on her face and her ears
were crusted with golden rings while bracelets, anklets and rings adorned her arms, legs,
and hands. If he looked closely, which of course he did, Underdog could see the dents
in the ribbon made by nipple piercings. Her hair, which had been a little wild from their
days in the wilderness, was now tied up in an intricate bun held together with yet more gold.


Underdog "Dog" (Panic calls him "'der") nee Greg Flowers - White. Lanky, but not emaciated. Blond. 6'5".
                                  34. Awakened. His power is to spot weaknesses and exploit them. 9" cock.

Crave - Leader of the bandits that has captured Panic at the start of the story. Male, 34, brown hair.
        Awakened. His power is that drinking blood makes him stronger and letting other people drink
        his blood makes them both stronger and under his control.

Sleepers - zombie things that are strong and fast with painful venom. They don't turn people
           by biting them like normal zombies though. A bunch of people became sleepers over
           night during the breaking, as far as people know that was the only way sleepers
           were created.

Jotun - one of the lords of Coso. His power was shooting lighting from his hands.
        Weakest.
Grin - one of the lords of Coso. His power was super speed.
        Middle strength.
Howitzer - one of the lords of Coso. His power was a meta power allowing sharing of powers.
            Strongest.
    The lords of Coso found an entrance to a secret pocket plane that contains a
    pool which can significantly boost the powers of an Awakened. They could only
    get through the gate by joining their powers together. Once in, they got the major
    boost in power, though to differing degrees based on how long they were able to
    withstand the pain of being in the pool.

Part 2 premise: there is an awakened with the ability to control and upgrade sleepers
                who is building a sleeper army. They have created "momma sleepers" which
                swallow sleepers whole and then give birth to them to resurrect them.

                Panic and Underdog have a few more encounters with these sleeper swarms,
                device to investigate, track one to a central hive where they see thousands
                and thousands of sleepers. They decide they have to do something to stop
                it.

                Coso is the only place with enough potential power to stop the sleepers,
                so they decide that they have to go there to try to get the lords of
                Coso to help them. They are apprehensive because of the fierce reputation
                the lords have and because Underdog is a wanted man in Coso.

                Panic goes to Coso openly while Underdog slips in undetected. People are
                awed by her beauty and she is soon called before the three lords of Coso.
                She tries to warn her, but they are dismissive. They do offer to let her
                stay with them since each one of them wants to seduce her.

                Panic and Underdog confer in secret and Underdog lays out a plan for how
                Panic can take over Coso.

                Panic allows the lords of Coso to try to win her over. None of them try to
                force the issue because they are worried about what the others will do.
                She professes to feeling unsafe because people see all the meat on her
                bones and asks each of them individually to give her some of their power
                as they do for their guards. They each give her some power. She remains
                unsatisfied claiming to be worried that one or a group of their guards
                could still overpower her. Once all three of them have given her a second
                share of their power she had more of their power than any one of them.
                She then kills them one by one by smothering them and the power returns
                to the point of highest concentration when they die. She enters the pocket
                plane herself and gets a massive boost to all her powers, consuming all the
                power in the pool because of her absurd pain tolerance.

                Panic emerges from the pocket plane and declares herself queen of Coso.
                Some of the old guards try to stop her, so she revokes their power grants
                and crushes any resistance. Underdog openly joins her as the king consort.

                Panic announces to the people of Coso that just as they now owe her their
                obedience as their new queen, she is duty bound to take care of them. Then
                she says she will feed them from her own body and begins filling cups of
                milk. Her enhanced healing power now instantly refills her breasts so she
                can never run out of milk.

                Panic and Underdog lead a fanatically loyal and much healthier army against
                the sleeper horde. They catch the sleepers by surprise and win the day.
                Panic personally slaughters a third of the monsters.


































Fort Irwin
----------

An old Army base that a community of survivors have set up shop in.
They are pretty well armed and have a few operational tanks.
They subsisted on some food caches from the army and long pork
any who attacks. They've built a few greenhouses and can grow
some vegetables, but not enough to feed themselves.

                                much and has a big scar across her face. Kinda
                                shy, but hides it by being scary. Awakened.
                                Her power is that she can manifest these green
                                arcs of energy that cut through just about anything
                                and throw them. 5'2".

Serenity nee Walter Smith - 25 year old Black man. Pretty jovial guy when he likes
                            you, but a very smart and practical guy so he is quite
                            suspicious these days. Loves to barbecue and smoke,
                            even if it is gruesome these days. Originally from
                            Georgia. Awakened. His power is that he can create
                            water and manipulate up to 500 pounds of it, which in
                            the freezing temperatures of the Broken world means he
                            can create some pretty impressive ice sculptures.
                            5'10".

                            He keeps several empty iron balls that he fills with
                            water so that he can make cannon balls whip around.

Dreamer nee Rachel Lime - 63 year old white woman. 5'4". Awakened. Her power is
                            long range clairvoyance that manifests as a swarm of
                            ghostly spiders that spin webs which show the part
                            of the world she wants to look at. A bit of a hippy,
                            but ice cold in a fight.

Puppeteer - deceased towns person who had the power to tell truth and lies.

Snap - One of Johnny Law's deputies. 34 year old white guy.

World
=====

The broken world is ours after an apocalypse called the "breaking".
During the breaking some unknown force caused massive earthquakes and
"Sleepers" started to appear. "Sleepers" are various monsters that normal
people turn into when they fall asleep and never wake up. Along with
the sleepers came the Awakened, who are normal people with powers. After
a time, new Sleepers and Awakened stopped being created. At first, humanity
banded together, but after the ash darkened the sky and caused a decade
long winter and the sleepers harrowed the remaining humans, all major
political entities fell apart and the world descended into chaotic
bands.
