So I've had this idea recently after reading too much apocalyptic fiction and playing too much fallout.

My idea goes like this:

About 350 years ago, a secret society formed dedicated to protecting mortals from paranormal events. Dragons, ghosts, zombies, vampires, unicorns, bigfoot, and payphones are all very real, but very well hidden. They've had a major impact on the outcome of global events, guiding the world where they thought it needed to be. Always hidden, never seen.

And then in the year 2050, a great disaster occurred. A third of the world's population suddenly perished. Nobody was ever sure what caused it. In the days that followed, about half of the world's population was dead or had disappeared. Entire governments had fallen, the world was in ruin.

It's now 2090, and The Agency now works out in the open, and there's no longer very much room for secrecy in this semi post apocalyptic environment as they try to hold things together.
Meanwhile, a new group called Unity Force, set out by their two charismatic leaders, sets out to help rebuild the world in it's own image.

So this setting will something of a post apocalyptic shadowrun, it will have elves, orcs, golems, dragons, amazons, spellcasting, and the like, but it will also have some fallout-esque features like guns and robots. How does that sound?

I'm interested, though curious if you would have us working for the agency, unity force, or independent.

This RP will revolve around the Agency. Unity Force will be the antagonists, surprisingly. Independent characters are possible.

Well, as I stated, I am interested, and will keep an eye on this to see when it can get started.

Oh great! More people! I was thinking 5 or more other players joining would be good.

So, as for playable races, I was thinking this:

1. Humans (duh)
2. Androids
3. The Valkyries (winged humanoids with electric powers)
4. Amazons (which here will be an all women race of plant people)
5. Satyrs and Centaurs (they're the same race)
6. The Draco (reptilian people)
7. Mermaids/mermen
8. Dwarves
9. The Yukites (ice powered spirits)

How does this list sound to people?

I would think mermaids would be a little too restrictive as a playable race... waterbound and whatnot

I was thinking on land they would be able to slither, like a lamia.

I think it would still cause issues, like stairs, and other obstacles. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, just making sure you thought it through.

Hm. You do have a point. Still, I think some sort of aquatic race would be nice...

Yeah, I'll probably end up doing something like a zora race...

Alternatively, you could take the Hylotyl from starbound, they can't breathe underwater, but they swim very well and can hold their breath for a long time

I'll think about it. There will be some sort of aquatic race.

Interested, perhaps. Would cyborgs be outlandish at all? (Humans with some android abilities)

Nope.
(By that I mean, yes, yes you can be a cyborg)

Hm, at this point I think we might be able to start. I'll get working on the thread soonish.
