Sewer Rats

Plot:
In 2063, all out Nuclear War broke out between countries after tense relations and threats of war. However, it was only due to the actions of a hacker that the first nuclear bomb was sent out. Then, after that, it was only a chain-reaction as bombs and missiles were sent out until it was a catastrophe. A good number of humans managed to flee underground into the sewers and in bunkers. Those left outside were killed in the initial blast.

But, even after that, the outside wasn’t safe. The large amount of radiation led to the overground becoming a… let’s just say: Bad Idea. Half of the humans fled to the underground in some attempt to escape the underground and return to some form of familiarity. (And to test out the damage.) However, many died from radiation sickness overground while some… some experienced some rather… startling changes. Especially considering some became infected with other animals and this… strange combination became reality.





(I can go more into detail regarding their abilities, all you have to do is ask!)
The other humans decided that it’d be best to stay underground for the foreseeable future.

But, that lead to even MORE issues when food and water began to run out and the restlessness began to set in. Tempers flared and insanity began to creep in amongst the population crammed in the sewers. In-fighting began to happen and some left to the surface after stealing food to test their own luck. By the end of a 10-year long period, the world population fell down to roughly 100,000 spaced out all over the world.

Any food is on the surface and food underground is running low. People have split off to go on their own or in small groups. There’s no time for niceness. When you can only survive on the surface for roughly 6 hours before the radiation hits you and you become a goner, things like: Food, Water, and even gas masks become something humans are willing to fight over.

THIS is where our story begins.

Premise:
I am looking for 6 other people. 5 would play as a small group of survivors aged anywhere from 8-19. Yeah, it’ll be a group of kids and teens. (19? Eh, still counts.) I would also be playing as a survivor. The group would start out in the sewers in their own little nook. (Think of the lair from Ninja Turtles, albeit less nicer.)

I will start the group out with 5 days worth of food and water. There’s no power in the sewers so you’re mostly living off of candlelight and fire for warmth and light. What you do as survivors is up to you. I will be playing as one of you, trying to survive and such. However, I can only help so much. It’ll be up to me AND the rest of you to survive. Remember: You can only survive on the surface for 6 hours before you basically become a goner. So, we’ll have to scavenge on the surface to survive, while also keeping in mind that there are monsters on the surface as well as other humans who will try and raid our sector. Keep that in mind before you go sending people out to scavenge.

Now, notice that I said 7 people were needed yet I only mentioned 6. Well, that’s because the 7th person has a very special role… as an antagonist. They will work as all the bad in the world. When I choose the person to be evil, I will privately message them with a list of their abilities as the antagonist. They will have a lot of them and will even be able to give their own ideas. Each ability costs energy and they only have a certain amount of it. However, as the days go on and they get kills, their maximum energy will increase and they can do more. However, every day in-game, the energy will re-fill.

So, to my antagonist, your only goal is to cause as much misery and pain to the survivors as you possibly can. I know, right? Fun.

And you may have noticed that I mentioned ‘gaining kills’. Welp, onto the next topic.

Twist:
This is an apocalyptic-SURVIVAL rp meaning that it is extremely possible that you could die if you don’t play your cards right. And there is no comeback from this. I mean, if another person joins later on then that's fine. Mostly? If you die, it's game over. However, you won't be out of it. You could, if you'd like, join the other antagonist and have control over any bad things that might happen to the other characters. OR, if you'd prefer a more protagonist role, you can create a new character and have them join the fight. All depends on you.

And here’s a few extra bit of information that you can look over if you’re curious about other game mechanics. I may add more to it as the questions come in.



The goal of this is to survive for as long as possible. With only one chance at life and death being a permanent destination, this won't be some walk in the park.

I…. think that’s it! This is really just something I was coming up with on the fly. If I manage to get most spots filled, I’ll create an OOC. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Survivor #1: Bubblegum Queen

Ok so you're losing me a bit. If the idea is for everyone to survival, with dead characters being replaced by new ones, you have a never-ending group survival RP. If you have a secret antagonist, you have a game with an end goal (uproot/eliminate the antagonist). Having a secret antagonist sounds great, but it's no fun if it's permanently one single person. If they die, does it go back to being a group survival RP? And what is the significance of killing people if they just come back over and over?

Suggestion: The group as a whole initially thinks everyone is good, but slowly realizes there's a bad one. They collaborate to figure out who it likely is. The group can make a majority vote to kill a player they suspect. Mix in a lot of arguing and tough choices and moral decisions, and ultimately someone dies. It doesn't have to be a "once per day everyone votes" thing. If they killed a normal character, that player rejoins as a new person and the antagonist continues to be the antagonist. If they kill the antagonist, the player rejoins as a new person and you choose another player to "go bad" and becomes the new antagonist.

A group survival RP with a game element sounds great, but a game needs rules and a way to win. A goal. Something everyone can be trying to accomplish while RPing. Otherwise, people just play until they run out of things to do with their character and leave the RP.

I would be willing to take up the role as antagonist.

Also, if by some chance you come up short one person or can't fill a spot I would gladly create a secondary character.

Hmm, question: Should I create the thread now and we can just worry about the last person later? Or should we wait until we have a definite number of people to fill all the spots?

In my opinion; wait for a few more hours and then boot up the OP.

If no one shows, then boot it up but keep the spot open in case any "late bloomers" show for a spot.

That's just my opinion though.
