Nuclear war.

Although expected, nobody could truly imagine the tragedy, the pain, the sorrow, and the destruction that mankind inflicted upon itself. Humanity continuously amazed with it’s incredible advances in technology, knowledge, and power, but they were so fragile and susceptible to rage and greed. World War III took the lives of billions of people, and contaminated the planet with radiation and the debris of damaged cities, dying nature, and pure demolition. Nobody knew where to run, or if they even should since the act of nuclear warfare seemed so inhumane. All morals set aside, the action was taken and now the planet is marked with craters from bombs, and smashed, abandoned buildings. The majority of the planet’s terrain is broken, the once beautiful nature is decaying, and the atmosphere is flooded with radiation and embers. Supplies are running low, and food is becoming more scarce from the land being too infected or decayed to ingest.

In the year 2255, the people who are left run to the untouched corners of the planet to seek salvation, in hopes that they’ll be ensured safety, but the radiation will catch up and deteriorate all things organic. Many have gone mad from their loved ones dying or from their imminent death, resulting in some sort of purge. Rebellions are rising to seek some sort of avengement for the innocent lives that were lost, inspiring riots, fires, and continuous battles to break out.

Amidst all of the chaos, a conspiracy was revealed truthful in that there is a large city that is protected from the destruction and the radiation. Many government officials and huge company owners fled to this location for protection. The city consists of large skyscrapers, acres of farmlands, solar panels, bodies of water, and even highways, all encased in a foggy, translucent barrier that guards from radiation and the many post-nuclear repercussions. Tall walls that are heavily guarded lines the perimeter to prevent people from sneaking inside. The outsiders refer to this place as Nirvana.

Several attempts have been made by outsiders to break into Nirvana, but each time, they’ve been shot down entirely without even making a dent in their defenses. Many have become hopeless, accepting their death that is to come, but some factions still remain. The majority of them seek to enter Nirvana somehome, and some seek to conquer lands outside of it to improve their own chances at survival.

In the end, you’re always looking over your shoulder for whomever it is that’ll stab you in the back and take your belongings. It could be a helpless mother, a nasty faction member, a madman, a soldier, or the radiation.

* * *


Off the shores of a very cold sea, in a heavily forested area, untouched by civilization, lies an entrance to a facility that leads to a facility deep beneath the earth. Children ages 12 - 18 are held as part of an experiment to build an immunity to the radiation. They are heavily tested upon and are injected daily with specific serums for the bodies to adapt against. Shortly after the apocalyptic war, some government officials and scientists agreed upon this experiment as a last resort to save their species, hopeful that the results will be positive. They were ecstatic when they saw their theories come to fruition and their experiments became a success, but the immunity wasn’t the only gift that had been granted.

The childrens’ bodies began to morph, their DNA and their genetic makeup alternated which resulted in extraordinary abilities. Many of them were just given incredible strength, speed, and dexterity, while others showed signs of powers beyond that. Telekenesis, teleportation, shapeshifting, precognition, telepathy, pyrokinesis, and much more were welcomed into the equation. Many of the scientists were intrigued, studying them further, while others attempted to get the abilities for themselves. The scientists who tested themselves died within days from their bodies inability to adapt from the insufficient levels of hormones that the body naturally creates and is prepared for.

After a month of continued submission from the children, they decided to plan their escape once they had a better understanding of their abilities. They killed their way out of the facility and fled to a nearby town that is heavily populated by outsiders. The area is untouched by the war, but the presence still lingers. The streets are full of litter, the buildings are bare and robbed, and the helpless beg to all those that pass by. Those that make it by are the ones that fight and trade to ensure their own survival, but survivability is taken to a whole new level.

Some children left to venture on their own, while many of them found a new home in an abandoned, old mansion that has several rooms, but torn apart walls, and shattered windows. They survive on their own now, but their next big move is yet to come.




Alright guys~

I’m new here, and I’ve had this roleplay idea for awhile, so I just want to see if anyone would be interested!

It’s a post-apocalyptic, super powers, and open roleplay that I want to mess around with!

Once people show interest, I think I’ll further the process of making it an active roleplay and accepting players to join in!

If anyone has any questions or comments, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Yay~ I'm so happy people found interest in this! I'm gonna give a little background of how life in the facility was for our characters, that way they will be properly influenced.

Life in the facility was inevitably dull. Everyday was full of constant testing, poking and prodding with needles, and doctors touching you all the time. The children were often left exhausted, drained, and sickly from being exposed to so many different substances. Everything was particularly strict, from what times that you eat and sleep, to the amount of exposure you would get from the outdoors. Each child had their own small room with a limited amount of items to keep them entertained, such as: pre-selected books by the doctors, paper and pencils, a notebook, drawing utensils, or special requested items. They all wore the same outfit, long white pants with a white long sleeve coat and a choice between a white t-shirt or tank top. In the short windows of free time that's given, everyone would mostly be talking and comparing about how awful their testing is, or how life would be if things were different, or fantasies about some bright future. Aside from these examples, some of the children would form cliques or start nonsense drama just for the sake of having some spark in their life. Regardless, the outcome of all the testing was unknown to everybody.

After a few years of consistent work, things began to look up for the scientists. Results starting to appear and the children began to adapt. Many escapes were attempted by the children, but a few scares where they would simply kill off those that rebelled kept the children in line. When disobedient, the children would suffer from lashes from a whip to their back, making their compliance more successful. It took a long while before the children accepted this way of living, and they began to bond with each other and see one another as family.

Although, once the experiments ended up successful and the powers were given, the children planned their escape. The opportunity was too right not to pass up. They casted all their fears aside and created a plan to hide their powers until the right moment, and utilize them to get to the surface and escape. Though it was difficult to commit such inhumane actions, they killed their way to the exit, slaughtering those that got in their way. Ecstatic to be in the outdoors and given superhuman powers, everyone ran freely but, pressingly, became lost again. Many children went their separate ways in search of their dreams, but some took leadership and suggested a plan to travel as a group until they found a nearby town to live in amongst other people.

They came across a rundown, raided town known as Grelford that is very populated for the size of the town. The streets are full of broken pavement, loiter, and people that are trying to trade their goods that they scavenged. The majority of the people carry close-range weapons such as daggers, knives, and swords, and some carry handmade bows, slingshots, or even crossbows since bullets are very scarce. The buildings that are somewhat still standing are marked with flags that contain weird insignias that signify that it's been claimed by a faction of people, that probably won't hesitate to kill you.

The children found shelter in an abandoned, broken down mansion. One of the children used their powers to reinforce the walls to make them sturdy enough to withstand all the weather conditions, and also to engrave a sign on the door to portray a faction that they have yet to establish. They've been living each day off gathering things from the wild and then trading it in for other goods on the street, or just simply keeping it for themselves. A lot of the children have changed personalities from such a huge change, and such a morbid story. The purity of their hearts have truly been tainted.


Here's a character sheet for you guys! Just PM me with your characters and then I'll discuss them with ya'll!



NOTE: You are not limited to playing as one of the children that went through experimentation! Feel free to be creative with your character~! :)

I declare interest

edit: I have a question, does the fact the children had to hide their powers mean that they can't include severe physical changes?

You can definitely include severe physical changes! You're just going to have to wear a cloak or something to hide yourself! But this is post-apocolyptic, so it's not uncommon for people to have physical changes due to radiation and bombing and whatnot.
