Cursed Earth

A post-apocalyptic horror-cum-urban-fantasy tale. The universe was the brainchild of this Troper's brother. Can be found here.

Major tropes present in Cursed Earth are:
 * After the End: Or arguably during the end. The world isn't completely shot yet, but it's heading there.
 * Bad Future: Cursed Earth itself.
 * Cool Guns: Almost everyone has a trademark weapon, often a rather uncommon one. (Logan's Fiveseve N, or Marcus' HK UMP definitely qualify. John's FAL might, too.)
 * Everything2: The current home for Cursed Earth but more importantly a huge source of inspiration.
 * Gadgeteer Genius: Marcus.
 * Ghost City: John's journey takes him through many of these.
 * Heroic Resolve: Jess has this in spades.
 * Messianic Archetype: John is very much this.
 * Schizo-Tech: There's a lot of this around. Marcus' reinforced high school is held together by it, as is the SUV he heads to Chicago in.
 * Thunderbolt Iron: John's sword is actually made of a cobalt alloy, but most others that handle it think it's made of this.
 * Walking the Earth: John and Kurt are both doing this before they find their calling.
