THE GREAT PURGE

Location: New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, 2022

Unknown cosmic force wipes out 80% of Earth's population, leaving no bodies behind. People are just...gone. Those who stayed are left in remains of once modern and technologically advanced civilization. Electricity is off, since all the wires and power stations (including emergency ones) have been fried by the cosmic wave. The towns and the cities are left in the dark. Those remaining seemingly untouched soon began to realize that they are all about the same age – 20 to 30 years. They are scattered across the globe, and for some it takes days before they come across another survivor. People being robbed of their former lives began to unite into small groups, soon recognized as the Tribes, just to maximize their chances of survival. The smartest ones soon inhabit the malls, where they have free access to all life's necessities – food, clothing, medicine... However, supplies are not unlimited. Fresh food that needs refrigerating goes bad first, and whatever's left cannot feed all of them forever. People are getting desperate. Some decide to fight another tribe to win control of their food resources, others try to reconnect with their primal instincts and learn how to grow vegetables and hunt wild animals, and others try to understand what happened and figure out a way to reverse the Purge.

This RP will revolve around one group of 4 – 6 people, who form a Tribe known as the Mall Hounds. I will play a leader of this tribe. Apart from the obvious - trying to survive the new world - the RP will be also focused on the conflicts between the Tribe's members. So yeah, you can bring in romance, hatred, rivality, betrayal, envy...anything.

BASIC RULES
- First and most obvious - my word is law
- One-liners are forbidden. I know we can all manage to write at least two paragraphs.
- I like focusing on character development, so I encourage you all to do the same.
- Keep it realistic. This isn't meant to be a Sci-fi fantasy, although it does contain some elements that are unlikely to happen in RL (like the fact that 80% of population could one day just wanish from the face of the Earth)
- I may be adding some rules as I see fit later

Man, we really are a bunch of tough guys. I don't think we will have a problem overruling the other possible Tribes :P

@Revans Exile Hmm can you explain to me how exactly can you put a mall on a lockdown without electricity? The same goes for the speakers... -.- Besides, you did a whole lot of things in just 6 lines. Sorry, but that's not going to work with me.

Nobody said there was no electricity. Also generators.

I said it. In the first post. But I guess you haven't read it. Being completely without electricity is kind of the whole point of this RP... Geez! -.-
