[@AbysmalDemon] I'd rather the players took on a pre-disaster rooted faction, because if I make one then suddenly what I've said becomes lore and the freeform starts becoming less free. Instead, I think it would be cool to see how many go for one, what their ideas are, and then see if we can somehow merge their histories together to create a clearer picture of what happened to the world. 

Emma's planned faction points to the fact that the disaster was seen coming from a mile off, and people had time and resources to prepare for it. That's a good start! Whether it was a war, some super virus, a cataclysmic event or otherwise is still on the table. 

[@6slyboy6] The reputation of robotic characters will be decided solely by those they will be interacting with - in this case, it will be the other players.

If someone makes a faction or character who has a specific bias against them, then you'll have yourself some conflict. If they don't, then it's likely that robotic beings are generally accepted and you can go around doing whatever you want without worrying about upsetting the local robot racists.

Although bandits and crawlers will still very much hate them, because they hate everyone. 

[@Emma] I like the sounds of it all so far, it definitely fits well within the spirit of the RP! As mentioned, it also shines a bit of light on what happened to the world, and will give others a base line to jump off of - should they so choose.

Right, we're looking pretty good here. I'm going to create the OOC, and will post a link here when it's done.
