OOC is UP!

Premise

The world as we know it as ended. Typically,
we don't have a clue why. It was five months ago now.
Fuck, that went by quick. It began with news reports.
Another big virus has broke loose, people dying all over
Africa and Asia. Just another day, we thought.
By the end of the week the news reports were showing
us live broadcasts of all the big cities - London,
New York, Paris. Only then did people start
crying like babies in front of their tv screens.
Because the streets were all empty. And the next day it
was at our front doors. 99% of those infected would
die, and the rest of us, we'd be hiding in our basements clutching our guns and hoping
for a miracle.

Some say we would have been completely fucked
if it weren't for the supes. If you fancy calling them
that. A lot of people went crazy religious after
the end, and call them the 'blessed' and worship
them like Jesus' grandbabies.

They came in all shapes and forms. Some came with
wings, some with horns. Some could make fire
just by thinking about it, or sweep an entire
horde to the side like a ragdoll. Either way,
they were the ones that saved us. Got us out of
our basements, banded us together and helped
us build our walls around our communities.

But they're few and far between. And they die
just as easy as the rest of us. And with the never
ending hordes never seeming to die, they're worth
their weight in gold.


Donde?
The roleplay will be based in a fictional town called Barclay somewhere near the Eastern United States.
The possibility will be there for there to be two+ towns and possible warfare / alliances and other interaction between them.

Wann?
The roleplay will take place in the Summer of 2016, several months after the infection began.

Zombies?!
Yes! I'd like to expand more on the type of zombies in the roleplay. I've pictures our zombies as being full of energy and rage,
determined to tear through whatever defences they can. They are not utterly devoid of intelligence: in fact, their intelligence levels could be likened to
a dog. They are stronger than the average human, and are capable of acts like jumping and running which are not normally seen in the undead.
However, whether we will have several types of zombies and other undead creatures is still pretty up in the air.

Possibilities
I think the RP could go in lots of different directions. Supes are worth their weight in gold and are now being kidnapped by other towns for all sorts of reasons; to leave a town defenceless, to blackmail them into doing their captors bidding, to breed them to create more Supes. If we separate into two towns with bad blood between them and give a couple of incentives, a lot of conflict could arise. I'd like more input in this.

It sounds like it has possibilities. I'll keep my eye on this.

Yeh, looks like it has potential.

So, a few questions about the world to keep the ball rolling; so, its like a superhero/zombie crossover? What's the magic situation as it applies to 'soups', or is that just considered superpowers?

Are soup an mystery?

And what are these bastions of the human resistance like?

Woo! Questions.

1. Yeah, it's pretty much just a crossover. But if magic is important to you when you're developing a character, throw it in. It could be mixed in with the plot pretty easy. I want a bit of randomness to the roleplay, and maybe it would explain the ferociousness of the virus and it's effects on the survivors.

2. They're not a mystery, everyone knows about them. Most communities have at least one, and Barclay has several. They're generally respected (or feared).
Everyone knows the Supes got their powers around the time the virus struck, and that the Supes played a leading role in clearing the hordes in some way.

3. Barclay will have a population of a hundred or so people, and be quite remote, as with most surviving towns. It will look mostly like any other small town, with the exception of it's burned down buildings and swathes of empty buildings which are spraypainted to indicate they've been searched for the undead.
The population that lives there is a mix of those who lived in the town before and those from outside - either way, they all live towards the centre of the town so that all lived-in buildings are surrounded by one large metallic fence. Buildings nearby the fences are used as watch towers, and armed appropriately.
Everyone would have an assigned role by the Mayor of the town, and the Mayors decision is always final, even regarding decisions about other Supes.

Other outposts are going to be up to you guys. You can have your character come from an outpost which is protected by a massive purple telekinetic bubble and full of ruthless redneck rapists or from a cult town which worships it's Supes and burns people at the stake. I don't really care. So long as you end up in Barclay or involved in the town in some way.

Looks fun, would love to get in on this.
In regards to the Mayor's decisions, how will this affect us? Are we going to be given a job or something suited to us? Do we decide it ourselves? I can't quite put it into words, as an example: let's say the Mayor gives a super a post on the watch - in the buildings closest to the fence maybe - cause they have some sort of super power associated with their eyesight so they can spot zombies or other survivors.

You guys decide OOC what your characters jobs are, but IC they would have been assigned by the Mayor. So yup, realistically the mayor would have put a Supe on the watch tower if their ability would be useful there.

Very interesting idea. Would love to take part.
Why would the two towns hate each other? Shouldn't they be assisting each other because there are zombies and shit? There should be something that sparked the rivalry.

Pfffft HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Yeah right, Humans banding together against a common threat. Most likely something to do with some sort of place containing a large amount of supplies needed to survive.

Yeah, I was about to say supplies, weapons, soup and women, the typical needs of most post-apocalyptic "civil"izations. If you have it, someone else wants it.

@ Hawlin - Yeeaah! I'll be playing the Mayor. She's a bit of an evil cow and rules with an iron fist.

@ tcht - Dunno. Like Scarifar said, probably rivals over supplies. Or the next town along could be full of anti-supe loonies who are tired of finding Barclay has the lions share of resources and looted supplies? I'll come up with a reason if none of you guys do.

Kay, this is awesome. I'll definitely be participating if I can get a post in quick enough. We got a character sheet to go off yet or are we still establishing the RP?
