Food is scarce. Cannibalism is rampant. Currency is lucid. You survive as either a misguided military, a child of slavery, a young nomad bound to the land, or a beastly metahuman. It has been several generations since the nuclear fall out destroyed the world, and you know almost nothing of the world before the nuclear storm devoured it. If you are a soldier, you may know the first three basics of information. First, there was a global pandemic. Second, there was an error in the globally approved vaccination. Third, there was a war that left a global wasteland of extreme anarchy. If you are a child of slavery, you know nothing except your best friend may be your next meal, and escaping from your masters is almost always futile. However, some friends and you have just found a way to break out of your prison cells. If you are a nomad, you may be all alone or still have family. Your methods of survival are strict with seeking peace with the land, but that often means frailty and scarcer sources of food. If you are a metahuman, you sometimes cannot even remember your first name, but you know the layout of the forest like the back of your hand even if the flora and fauna can sometimes be your worst enemy. Choose a character and explore the lands. Try venturing solo out of fear of making bonds. Join up with others for a better chance of survival. Find out what happened and what is yet to happen. But, whatever you do, be careful. Survival is the only option.[/color] [/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [hr] [h1][/h1] [right] [sub]L I N K S [/sub] [sup][sup][color=silver]_______________________________________________________________________[/color][/sup][/sup] [sup][url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/183698-children-of-the-apocalypse/ooc#]IC[/url] · [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/170313-children-of-the-apocalypse/ic]Handbook[/url] · [url=https://discord.gg/yQuM9yu]Discord[/url] [/sup] [/right] [h1][/h1] [indent][indent][indent][quote][sub][color=silver][i]"...

This faction is typically found through out all of the waste, blurring the lines between themselves and the Nomads, their closest relative. However, the strongest concentration of "Scavs" are found in and around the abandoned cities where they make use of the trashed and forgotten technology, scrapped metals and plastics and the natural verticalities of the the world's remains. Scavengers will do whatever within their means to survive, even if that means killing and consuming one of their own. Seldom alone, they are usually observed in groups, banding together to find strength in numbers against any and all shared foes. However, these groups are easily scattered by a common theme of in-house duplicity. Commonalities are cannibalism, extreme violence, possession and slavery in the more developed "Scavy" camps.

They are often found in the forest or countryside, scattered alongside the wasteland's various toxic flora and fauna. Often referred to as "Crawlers," metahumans are able to writhe through the terrain as natural predators without detection and can survive with ease through the barren desert. They are known for their beastly instincts and deformities, which sometimes leave them less than human looking. Some roam in small packs, but most live solitary lives. Regardless, metahumans are aggressive and do not trust other creatures easily. These "Mutants" are hostile carnivores, and unfortunately, their intelligence is lacking and learning new skills is often difficult for them. They also have quite a temper, can trigger a raging frenzy in them.

They wander alongside the countryside, forests and in the cities. Sometimes they are alone, and sometimes they are with other family members. They are also known for their skills in taming animals, cooking plant-based recipes and mixing potions. Nomads are also a faction heavily influenced by different cults, beliefs and traditions passed down by their families. These beliefs very from group to group. Due to their peaceful nature, as well, they refuse to join the Scavvy Camps or Military regime, which makes them subject to being an easy source of food. Often times, they are mistaken for "Scavvys," which gives them a layer of protection. As well, they can get protection by mingling with metahumans. Unfortunately, their way of life has given way to the harshness of the lands as they slowly lose a sense of humanity to the infected world.[/color] [/sup][hr][/cell][/row][/table] [h1][/h1] [table][row][cell][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][row] [cell] [h1][/h1] [right][sub][color=dba901]S T A T S[/color][/sub] [sub]10 - 15 [sub][color=gray]A G E[/color][/sub] 5 (+CON) [color=gray][sub]H E A L T H[/sub][/color] [color=lightgreen]+1 per bond[/color][color=2c2e2e] [sup]H U M A N I T Y[/sup][/color] [color=f7976a]-1 per child kill[/color] [color=gray][sup]H U M A N I T Y[/sup][/color] [color=lightgreen]trade [b]∙[/b] craft [b]∙[/b] information [b]∙[/b] kill a metahuman[/color]   [color=2c2e2e][sub]B O N D[/sub][/color] [color=f7976a]kill a soldier [/color] [color=gray][sup]B O N D[/sup][/color] rifle [b]∙[/b] handgun [b]∙[/b] unarmed [b]∙[/b] read [color=2c2e2e][sub]S K I L L S[/sub][/color] write [b]∙[/b] speech [b]∙[/b] cooking [b]∙[/b] crafting [color=gray][sup]S K I L L S[/sup][/color] intelligence [color=gray][sub]S T A T[/sub][/color] [/sub] [/right] [color=2c2e2e][sub]__________________________________________________________[/sub][/color][/cell][cell][h1][/h1] [color=dba901]M I L I T A R Y[/color] [sub]angels [b]∙[/b] gray ghosts [b]∙[/b] metalheads[/sub] [hr][sup][color=silver]The military are the rarest and most technologically advanced faction.

Even with the firm rule, many times military personnel are mislead by their leaders and end up disappearing during their scouts of hunts.
