Turning the once lush world into a radioactive wasteland. While no one knows who started it, it was pointless as the world ended and a new one took its place. That was thirty years ago, and things have stabilized despite the damage done to the planet. Humanity still lives and has endured. Setting up settlements and rebuilding the best they could. In spite of the raiders, mutants, and other hostile elements in the world. In the ruins of Philadelphia, one such settlement exists in the remains of the old train yard. Formed from the remains of a National Guard unit and some natives. The settlement was doing well for itself until the arrival of a new group into the city. Calling themselves the Junkers, an apparent group of refugees that have entered the city after their own settlement was destroyed by mutants. They wanted supplies that the settlement had to help them survive and rebuild. The leader of the settlement, former National Guard member Alex Kent, gave some at first, but the Junkers wanted more and more. So Alex cut them, off, and the Junkers reacted with hostility. For three weeks, there were tensions between the two groups, and then that night happened. When a small group of Junkers managed to get inside the settlement, killed the gate guards, and opened the main gate. The Junkers came in and started attacking anyone they saw. Caught off guard, the defenders tried to fight back but were overwhelmed. In the chaos, Alex, seeing that they would lose this fight, ordered whoever could move to the Liberty. A heavily modified train that the settlement had been working on for trade. Alex and some of the guards stayed behind to give the survivors time to get out safely. Of the sixty people who lived in the settlement, only ten made it to the Liberty, and thanks to Alex and the guards' sacrifice. The Liberty managed to get out of the settlement and out of the city before the Junkers could reach them. Now homeless and unsure of where they were heading. The survivors now have to find a new home out in the wasteland, the Liberty being their temporary home. They do not know what they will find in their quest for a new home, wherever that may be.

You will be playing as survivors of a settlement in Philadelphia who have escaped on the train, the Liberty, and now travel across the former United States in search of a new home. Now, while there are ten people on the train at the start, and players will generally fill these slots. Being a character that the Libery picks up during their journey for a new home is a valid option. Just talk to me about it so it does not cause problems with what I had planned with the current stop. Otherwise, you have the freedom to make your character how you want as long as it makes sense for them to be there and what not. With your character, go with drawn pics, and since the Liberty left in a rush with no time to prepare and at night. Your character's inventory should be scarce, given the surprise attack. But your character will be able to get more items as the rp progresses. Also, how the rp will work is that each arc is set at each stop the Liberty stops at. Though I might do arcs in between stops to spice things up. That is all, and if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. [center][b]Liberty[/b][/center] The Liberty is a heavily modified steam-powered train that has two passenger cars and a baggage car connected to it. It is capable of being powered by either steam or liquid fuel.
