This sounds very interesting, I've got a lot of questions if you're game.  Mostly based around character creation and world state.

Character Creation
Can we be fantasy races in addition to mundane races? (because I love me some Halflings)
Can we be magic users or in possession of magical artifacts? (because I usually like tinkerers and scouts)
Are we from a certain country or faction?

World State
How long ago was this apocalypse? 
(Because I'm curious if we're in a post-apocalypse in the sense of essentially a wild west civilization desert with extreme scarcity and everyone is looking to eek out a living and begin to establish themselves, or a slightly further along post-apocalypse wherein there are growing factions and civilization)
