[div style="width: 460px; margin: auto; text-align: justify"]TRYING OUT FOR BADLANDS
Username: Pyre, displays as Bryne
Activity/Muse: 7 or 8 out of 10 for both
Character Name: Catalyst
Short Character Blurb: Catalyst was born as the apocalypse begun, and that coupled with certain other events (notably being the center of a cult) led to them styling themself as the herald of the apocalypse. They're well aware that this isn't true, of course, but they enjoy entertaining the notion nonetheless. Largely because of this persona they've put on, they've been a pariah just about everywhere they went. They hoped it might be different in the Badlands, though for a few weeks they were imprisoned. Still, whatever optimism that exists in Cat is hoping that they could finally have a home and community.
Ideas/Plans You Have: I'm still working on ideas but here's what I've got so far
 A twisted "honor" system is put in place. I'm still working on all the different aspects of it, but a big one would be that Badlanders can't just attack each other. They can still fight, but a challenge must be issued and accepted so that it's "fair", though they take no issue with and even encourage dirty fighting. Example but spoilers for Goblet of Fire.
 Capitalizing on the apocalypse. Everything is scarce now: weapons, food, clothes, other supplies and even people. Cat wants to hoard all the resources and take them from the rest of the world, and make it generally unsafe for anyone that isn't in the Badlands (forcing them to join if they want to survive).
 Marking Badlanders with either a bandanna or brand or charm so that Badlanders can all recognize each other and know who is and isn't safe. Possibly two-tiered (maybe even three); people that have proven their loyalty might get the brand in addition to something more visible, but people that haven't would be considered on thin ice and whatever token they get would be easy enough to remove. If it was three tiered, with those that have yet to prove their loyalty getting a necklace, those that had getting a bandanna but not willing to mark their bodies permanently, and then at the top those that were. The branded would be considered elite Badlanders and the most honorable (w the honor system) of all.
 With Catalyst's backstory being what it is, they would not be keen on electricity being restored and would be more likely to sabotage its return under the guise of getting it for the Badlands. That's just Catalyst and their goals though, and depending on the plots I could just as easily see them deciding that them controlling who has and doesn't have electricity could be far more important to them than ruining it for everyone.
 If people would be interested in it, rank reform and potentially a title system to go with the honor system.
