Robert "The Messiah" Polkroid

Description from original post (created 2012-05-19 18:48):

This is my submission for the Planet Minecraft "Apocalypse Skin Contest"! Yay! But anyway, "Lets get down to business! (Robert Polkroid's line) :


Robert Polkroid was always inspired and had a passion for announcing the latest news, sharing his opinions, and most of all, helping others when their down. He was a model American; helpful, cheerful, and smart. He also had a stylish white suit. He eventually recieved a spot as a radio show host. Unfortunately, he was fired because the owners thought he was "too biased." Extremely mad, Robert went off and made his own radio station. He proudly called it " Polkroid 24/7". He accepted calls from others and gave them advice, as well as his share of political views. Then one fateful day, a terrorist (Israphael?), got ahold of the United State's creeper launch codes. He was one of the first people to find out and spread the news to his thousands of listeners. Robert, oh bless his soul, he didn't run to a vault, creeper shelter, or anywhere, he stayed tuned on his radio station on an emergency broadcast. He kept everyone up to date on the situation and kept on comforting all who were afraid with his charming voice. He was more afraid of not raising enough awareness than death.


Eventually, the world was at war. Most countries were against America since they started it. Then, on July 17th, 1989, the creepers were dropped. Robert, still broadcasting live, heard the creepers wizz down. Seconds before the creepers hit, he uttered with a grave tone:


"This is Robert Polkroid, signing out. Thanks for listening. God bless America."


After that the station went dark. The unfortunate listeners, horrified that their idol has just been bombed, quickly turned off their radios and listened for THEIR creepers to come.


The creepers were being dropped everywhere all over the U.S, for a whole day. The next day, the whole world was silent.....until a little refrigerator buried in dirt started to release clanking noises. All of the sudden, the refrigerator door swung open, or rather fell off, and out emerged ROBERT POLROID! Our hero has miraculously survived. He then remembered that as he turned off his radio station, he heard a deafening BOOM and then something had hit him in the back and then seemed to scoop him up and then close. He analyzed it and realized that he had been scooped up by a flying refrigerator and then shut inside it! Apparently, he had a purpose to fulfill on earth. It wasn't his time to die yet. So obviously as he emerged he was shocked and started sobbing, hoping that he helped his listeners survive. But he also suffered a huge amount of pain, since some of the radiation seeped through the refrigerator door and burnt half of his head clean to the skull, but ironically not damage his $2000 suit. It didn't seem like anyone survived, since the whole place around him was leveled out. But this fact didn't stop him, he became determined to do what he did before, reach out and help ALL survivors of what he called "The United Wastes of America." So he set out to seek some help and he teamed up with another survivor to rebuild his radio station. Once he got it up and running, he started broadcasting again, but this time screaming with enthusiasm on how to rebuild and repopulate "the Untied Wastes of America." His radio station again recieved much praise from the remaining popluation and it seemed like he was a president of some sort. So he then recieved a nickname of "The Messiah."


So that's the life story of Robert Polkroid, and my contest entry for Post-Apocolyptic minecraft.


This character was inspired a little bit by three-dog from fall-out 3. Well, at least the radio announcer part. But the whole skin and story was all made by yours truly, hooneybAdgerz.
