You know that old insult, "Not if you were the last (man/woman) on Earth?" Well, you are the “last”. A virus has wiped "everyone" else out. You have a whole planet to yourself. That is, you did until we ran into one another after several months of solitude.
The characters do not have to like one another at first. But hey, it is another human being. And you know that whole thing about "repopulate the species?" Well, that has got to have entered our minds at some point. Of course, we may not both have the same game plan... We may view the other as a "real fixer upper." Conversely, we may not think we need fixing.
I do plan to run a guy in this RP. Yes, I already have a character in mind. The age range I am looking for is late mid to late teens. (Mine will be around 16-17 at the start of the RP. This is one year after the virus hit. The virus did most of its work in 6 months killing everyone off that was older.)
The "immunity" was based on genetics that date back to a group of original infectees by an earlier strain in the late 19th century. Yes, I do have a very specific origin of the virus. Most survivors can trace their roots back to Europe.
MY initial setting will be Albuquerque NM to start, late summer with Fall and Winter approaching. (He is prepping for winter.) It is NOT required that everyone start in the same location. However, this will be North America. (If you can get to Albuquerque by foot or wheels from where you start, you can get there. You do NOT have to be American, but it I would prefer everyone speak English as a common language. Still no reason you couldn’t drive down from Alaska or up from Panama.
Equipment: The world is our oyster. It isn’t as though anyone is gonna stop us from from taking whatever we want. (Note: My character has a few one of a kind items from Memphis - guitars.) The internet is gone. Electricity went down fast. Gasoline and now diesel have gone bad. (It usually lasts maybe 6 months before breaking down. By the end of a year most gas would be nearly worthless. Even diesel will start to have problems.) Running water will be a thing of the past. Of course, all this assumes you don’t know how to make your own fuel.
I am looking for a long term writer. My posting rate is typically 1 per day or two (assuming I get the response early enough). I work a 14 hr day, so I can't sit online and type out lots of short posts. But I get pretty bored fast waiting around a week for a reply.
The RP is listed as Advanced / Detailed.
