THE SETTING
The planet has steadily fallen into a new ice age.
Snowfall had increased. Temperatures continued to drop. Crop yields grew smaller.
Scientists were uncertain of the cause. Countless attempts to prevent the coming disaster failed, and the world was sent spiraling into panic. Governments abandoned their people. Panic buying became ever-so common. Neighbors didn't trust neighbor.
Then, came the parasite.
Adapted to chillingly cold temperatures, the parasite spread from the southern reaches of the planet. It took the world like storm, seeking to spread itself across the planet. Beings, human or otherwise, infected with the parasite would seek to spread it themselves through wounds, allowing the parasite to possess the host's body functions and further continue its rampage.
Faced with a zombie-like parasite on top of the prior ice age, the dwindling populace began to join forces. Civilizations were formed, created with survival in mind. Together, they have tried to stop their own extinction, yet death still comes regardless of how they try to stop it.

THE OVERVIEW
This is where you come in, snowrunner.
As a runner, your goal is to be a scavenger for your settlement. Food, medicine, weapons... perhaps even firewood. They are all your objective; the final scraps of a now dying world.
Using the one page d6-lite system linked here, you'll be making a character that is set to go out on an expedition with a meager group of their fellow scavengers. Your history, your appearance—nothing has to be in great detail. This is a simple and easy system, and there is a strong chance you'll likely die in the process.
Once everyone has made their character, I will generate an objective for the characters to go after. As mentioned prior, the goal of this roleplay will be for the cast to complete the objective and perish return home with their lives prize. When we're finished with the task that was given to the players, we can decide as a group if we want to continue on with the roleplay, or consider the mission complete.
If anyone has any questions, please ask. I've been interested in one page systems for some time now and I finally decided to take a stab at it, so I'm willing to work with things to better suit this group and/or roleplay.
