”The threat of worlds end is the old threat.”
______________________________


Premise

The world has ended. Mankind has fallen. In the year 2263 Anto Domini, after several years of growing tension between the world powers of the time, the greatest catastrophe that could happen happened. A four way global conflict between the leading world powers. After nearly a year of intense fighting that spanned the continents, what was the Fourth World War would be the dusklight of modern civilization.

In the winter months of 2263, just weeks before the new year, much of the world lay ravaged and scarred from the greatest war known to human history. Death tolls were in the millions, and despite multiple attempts at peace talks and compromise not one of the four warring states would relent.

Desperate in their strife, two of the leading powers developed powerful super weapons. Both of these weapons were a type of orbital cannon; powerful laser technology of mass destruction.

The die were cast, and both sides used their respective weapons on opposite foes, and then each other. And it was these dreadful happenings that brought civilization as we know it crumbling down. What little of humanity survived the cataclysm scraped and squabbled amongst itself, fighting over what remained.

But not all is lost. For now, two hundred years later, a handful of survivors have awakened. As the cities burned and the innocent cried out, this handful of individual were placed in cryogenic stasis. For two hundred years they slumbered, hibernating, their bodies maintained by machines and chemicals. And now they’re long slumber has ended, and they find that they have lost much of themselves. Their memories have been distorted or have been lost completely. In this broken and ravaged world, this handful of survivors must work together to survive and uncover the truth about themselves and the world that is now lost to them.



This is a post-apocalyptic science fiction RP, as you have surely gathered, set in the far future. In the final days of a world war that had ravaged much of the earth, a mass of refugees took sanctuary in an underground shelter. At some point, all of those present sealed themselves an emergency stasis chamber, locked away in cryogenic storage for two centuries.

Our story begins with a handful of individuals waking from their hibernation. They find the emergency shelter abandoned and nearly all of the cryogenic pods empty. Some contain corpses. Much of the facility was damaged and the power is offline in many areas, leaving sections of the shelter sealed off. With most of the survivors suffering from severe memory loss or outright amnesia, their only guide is the glitched facility AI and scattered documents and clues throughout the structure.

Players will create their own unique character, a fellow survivor seemingly left behind like the others in the crumbled facility. With their memories lost, human civilization effectively destroyed, and their place of sanctuary damaged and without food stores, this collective of stragglers must gather their courage and grit to survive.

Oh, this seems interesting! It almost gives me a anime ‘King of Thorn’ kind of vibe which I love. I love the details of everything so far and I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on this one :3

I’ve updated the “Pre-War Corporations” tab. Tomorrow I will finish it and the factions and colonies as well. Expect a CS template tomorrow as well.

EDIT: please feel free to ask any questions and voice any concerns or queries!

I'm curious about prosthetics. I have this idea for a Pro-Wrestler strongman of sorts, working in a modern wrestling field where dedication to your job means enhancing yourself for the job as much as possible to keep relevant. Would superior replacements to arms (Potentially legs, though I don't want to push it) be usable for my character?

Not entirely sure how well they'd hold up through stasis, but I figured I'd ask.

That would be an acceptable character. Biotic wrestling is indeed a thing, granted of course implants and upgrades are limited within a safe and legal parameter. In short-a biotic wrestler is acceptable. As for the cryogenic effect on his implants, I would say nothing major. No shut-downs or crippling damage.

Nice. No having to run around as a crippled deadbeat is a positive in my book.

I should have probably tacked it on my question yesterday, but what would the general limitations of these upgrades be like? Just so I generally know where his strength lies and so that I don't step over any boundaries. Nothing's make or break for me as I like the idea I've been forming, just want to know where you stand on it.

Hmmmm, low yield kinetic barriers, kinetically charged strikes, perhaps a slight shockwave from charged “slam attacks”. Nothing that would cave in a small house though. Just severely damage it. Perhaps amplified quick reflexes and muscle endurance...

I’m assuming we’re allowed to have our characters having worked for a listed corporation Pre-War? Cuz’ I’d like to offer forth a technician/robotics specialist who worked for Verhauzen. Would that be okay?

I noticed the CS section has been updated but I have some questions.

Can you please provide an image as an example for the appearance? I have found many people view this differently and I want to make sure I am on the right track.

This is kind of also in regard to the appearance, can we provide a description instead if we cannot find a suitable picture to our vision?

I am also curious on why there are height restrictions? I was planning to make a character that might be on the smaller size but now it seems we are locked into a very small window of heights.

If we opt. out of doing the biography section, do you still want us to tell you the backstory in some way? Or are we free to just completely skip? Please advise.

Thank you for your time and I apologize for so many questions.

Firstly, if you just absolutely CANNOT find an image to suit you, then yes, I will allow detailed descriptions.

Secondly, by HD animation, I basically mean graphic animation. Not sketches or anime or doodles.

Thirdly, the reason for height restrictions is based from past experiences. You give a free range for height and there’s always someone that wants to create a seven foot hulk-man with rhino skin. Or a two foot gnome character. Even though this is science fiction, I feel like a height range is necessary. However, I am willing to stretch the limit; 5’4”-6’4”.

Backstory & biography are completely optional.
