The PRA.

Post by OneEye589 » Mon Nov 03, 2008 9:15 pm

EDIT: NEW PRA BRICKSHELF.
NEWER PRA THREAD.

REGULARLY SCHEDULED THREAD:

The entirety of the PRA (so far).

These guys are the PRA, or the Post-Rapture Army. They're post apocalyptic from a type of story that I made up.

The PRA are the survivors of a virus nicknamed "The Rapture". Killing many instantly, the survivors usually faced two different outcomes; being totally immune, like the PRA and the soon-to-be-created nomads (for lack of a better name at the moment), or being only partially immune and turning into horrible mutated creatures (also soon-to-be-created).

In the year 2013 a strange virus took hold of the world. It used a hidden gene inside the bodies of many creatures and mutated them into creatures that were not natural. Many people were mutated, but around half of the life-forms on Earth did not possess the gene and were not mutated. Many were killed by the mutant creatures who have a kind of anger problem and before anything was done to prevent it many of the survivors of the "Rapture" as many were calling it were killed.

The world then turned into what most think of as apocalyptic. Small bands roaming the world. The mutants made small, tribe-like bands. Humans who survived either lived as nomads or they joined an elite fighting force which was formed later (the PRA).

The PRA is out to exterminate ALL of the aggressive mutants (and a lot of them would like to exterminate all of the non-agressive ones as well).
There are small settlements that are not controlled by the PRA.
Many of the small nomadic groups believe that the apocalypse was actually THE Rapture. They either think that God is corrupt and didn't take them even though their lives were lived the right way or some groups believe that a second Rapture is coming and it is their duty to exterminate all of the non-believers before they are allowed into Heaven. Another small group also believes there will be a second Rapture, but they need to keep living good lives and therefore should not kill all of the non-believers. This last group are mostly what makes up the small nomadic groups.

The mutants have their own culture as well, acting more as orcs or barbarians (most of the mutated humans are the minifig-sized trolls) than anything else. There are mutated creatures as well (which I will be using dinosaur figs for in some cases, just to give an idea), but compared to the human mutants they are not as aggressive

Nice vehicle, and I love the army!

*envy for all of your stormtrooper torsos*
I think those stats only apply to non-Mexicans.

Thanks guys. I've been slowly building those two vehicles and making the minifigs to my liking for a while now. I know there's a mix of light grey and light bley, dark grey and dark bley, but I don't have that many pieces. So sorry for that.

And Dr. X, I have the entirety of all of those Stormtroopers, too. Including the Scout Troopers and black Stormtroopers.

I'll work on the mutants tomorrow a bit.

For nomadic groups, names like "The Wanderers" or "The Forgotten" always sounds really cool.

I like the look of the vehicles, with their hastily-attached armor plating. The smaller tank in particular looks awesome. The army itself is pretty neat but I'm not sure about the white motorcycle helmets.

Thanks for the feedback on the vehicles. I really wanted the post-apoc look, but for them to still look military-ish.

As for the motorcycle helmets:

I don't really have a lot of uniform pieces (except for Stormtroopers, obviously). I originally wanted all of the black and white helmets to be black, but those are all the black helmets I have. I know they look weird. So then I looked into grey helmets. I'm using all the grey helmets I have on the black troopers and the main guy.

And just so everyone knows I did not even see any RAMM stuff until after I built most of these things, so don't call me a copier :P

Yea, I explained why it's called The Rapture in the little story thing:

"Many of the small nomadic groups believe that the apocalypse was actually THE Rapture. They either think that God is corrupt and didn't take them even though their lives were lived the right way or some groups believe that a second Rapture is coming and it is their duty to exterminate all of the non-believers before they are allowed into Heaven. Another small group also believes there will be a second Rapture, but they need to keep living good lives and therefore should not kill all of the non-believers. This last group are mostly what makes up the small nomadic groups."

although, technically, Rapture is never mentioned in the bible.
