@Days You forgot to add a quote for Axel but otherwise consider the sheet accepted. I do have to ask, though, how modernized is the cafe/restaurant now? It'd be basically the only eatery in all of Huddeen given the small size of the town, so you have to consider finances and all that.

<Snipped quote>
I wouldn't mind talking about relations. 👌 I imagine the street [inhabitants] would have prior interactions with each other so us as a RP group should maybe spitball some stuff in general at some point.

@TGM

Yeah, I probably should've asked for something like that. Should probably finish my sheet too but I've been slacking and kind of handwaving it aside for awhile with GM powers i'm a terrible, evil gm :( Anyway, @TGM@Days If you want to rope in Holly into your character schemes, feel free too. I was writing her as that she hadn't graduated yet, though. This year was probably her last year of HS before, y'know, zombies.

[ ❇ ] W H A T I S D - D A Y ? D-Day: Lost World is an apocalyptic modern day roleplay centered around a classified military experiment gone wrong—Project JX-04132, an American attempt at weaponizing teleportation. Funded by the Department of Defense, the project was designed for the US military which had been interested in acquiring the power to transport entire armies and fleets within a blink of an eye. Although initial prototype tests proved successful, in the process of doing so they had unknowingly ripped the fabric of time and space. Present day suddenly entangled itself with the past, and multiple timelines merged together into a singular universe branch. The world was lit ablaze with waypoints, acting as makeshift gates to ancient versions of Earth, which in turn allowed dinosaurs and other extinct, prehistoric fauna to funnel out from these portals in droves. The creatures that emerged from these portals would run amok across the globe and devastate population centers no matter the country or continent. For all intents and purposes, D-Day had fallen upon humanity. As of that day, despite all the technological advances they had made, humanity was no longer on the top of the food chain.

"Fightin' Hares, let's make this year one of the best!" You've heard it over and over again. It was the same old speech every year, even now in your senior year of high school. But everyone knew the truth—Hvass sucked. It wasn't a place where dreams were born, it was a place where dreams went to die. Everyone wanted out, yet Hvass seemingly had no plans to let go of the hold it had on people. Hvass was a trash town, with trash people and trash culture, and you were bound to die here just like everyone else. At least all you had was one more year with these chucklefucks. One final year dealing with all the morons and idiots until you all inevitably fucked off to do your own thing, never caring to see each other again. It was going to a long school year, but at least you had something to look forward to this time.

[ ❇ ] H V A S S , I L L I N O I S : A B R I E F O V E R V I E W Hvass, Illinois is a deadbeat town with a storied history. Dating back to the early nineteenth century, the city of Hvass was founded by Scandinavian immigrants that made the journey to the United States following upheaval and strife in their home countries. Although the original settlers included Swedes and Norwegians, much of the original town owed its success to the Danish that preferred to settle in urban societies, in turn giving the town a strong Danish influence that persists even today. When the drums of war came for the United States, splintering the country into Union and Dixie, the Scandinavians of Hvass had been eager to join the side of Lincoln. It was common among American Scandinavians to hold anti-slavery, pro-Lincoln sentiments, and Hvass was no different. Many Hvassites volunteered for military service in droves, in particular the Swedish population that inhabited the outskirt farmlands. A plaque outside the Hvass community center, dedicated in 1957, honors those who died serving the Union cause. Despite Hvass' roots primarily as farming town, it would see a boom in both population and wealth upon the turn of the twentieth century. It, like many other meager Illinois towns, had heavily invested in coal mining, factory work and other aspects of industrialization throughout the 1800s that carried over into the next century. Local historians consider this the golden era of Hvass, with the city's population pushing forty-odd thousand at its peak as it competed with other Central Illinois metropolitan areas such as Peoria, Springfield, Bloomington-Normal and Decatur. By the end of the World Wars, and eventually the Illinois exodus that begun in the 1970s, however, much of the prosperity Hvass had enjoyed disappeared, leaving empty, worn buildings behind as the locals left for greener pastures—a trend that still continues to this day. [ ❇ ] T H E L O C A L E S O F H V A S S Though the city of Hvass has changed much since its founding, it has retained four main yet unofficial districts that separate the city into segments. These districts are the following: Downtown, the Southside Industrial Zone, the Neighborhoods, and the Hvass Business Complex. Down below, you can find specific information relating to each individual zone, along with some locations scattered within them. SOUTHSIDE INDUSTRY ZONE: Located in the southside of town, this place is where most of Hvass' industry is located. Originally a railray depot, it has since included other businesses, such as a paper mill, ethanol plant, and more. There are some houses and apartments here, but those who live here are among the poorest. No one lives here unless they have to, especially because of the ethanol stench and smog that blocks out any clean air. • Henningsen Paper Co. • Paragon Energy • Bager Auto Body • Gretchen's Bar DOWNTOWN: The center of Hvass, the downtown is a shadow of its former self. Most of the original downtown still remains, yet the buildings are largely empty and abandoned of any businesses. The few businesses that do exist are incredibly local, and the town council is invested in ensuring the remaining places don't fold and stay put in Hvass. If you're looking for the city's offices, this is where they're primarily located, along with town hall, the community center, post office and other important city buildings. • Hvass Community Library • The Hvass Courier • Tre Kronor (Diner) • Elske Confectionaries • Dollar General BUSINESS COMPLEX: Directly east of Hvass' core, the Complex has seen much development, if not the only development in Hvass, over the years. Large tracts of old farmland had been sold off to developers; the city seeking to draw big corporations and other businesses to Hvass and invest into the local economy. If you're looking to shop, grab a bite to eat, or just looking for something to do, then the Complex is your best bet. • Walmart • Menards • Ace Hardware • Aldi's • Steak 'n Shake • Round1 • Pizza Hut • Applebee's • Culver's NEIGHBORHOODS: Most of Hvass' neighborhoods are primarily located to the north, having formed around the large, aging houses built back when Hvass was still a farming community. Those who live in these houses are "midwest rich", so if you don't come from some sort of wealth, you probably live in a neighborhood with smaller, average-sized homes that had been built mostly in early-to-mid 1900s. This is also where the city's schools are located, along with a number of parks and other greenery places. • Hvass Community High School (HCHS) • Lundström Junior High • Inger Stenmark Junior High • Christoffer Storgaard Elementary • William Kragh Elementary • Buhl Elementary • Settler Park & Playground • Hvass Lutheran Church • Bjerre Sports Complex • "Bow-Wow" Dog Park

It is November 23rd, 1994—one day before Thanksgiving, and forty-seven days since the Great Fog.

For the denizens of Hvass, a meager rural farming town in Central Illinois, the last few weeks have been a nightmare. Whilst most of the residents had generally been safe from the initial fog, it came with an evil curse that changed the very course of the town's history. Places that had been frequented by the sleepy townsfolk—bars, diners, and other business establishments—were hit the hardest by the "curse", becoming feeding grounds and nests for demonic monsters that bared a striking resemblance to some of their neighbors, like Old Hank, Miss Angelica, or even Timmy the Paper Boy.

The people of Hvass found themselves terrorized by these creatures, hiding in their homes for days afraid of the vicious monsters in the very streets they once had called home. Had it not been for the actions of Lawrence McCoy, one of the local rednecks, perhaps it might've stayed that way.

Armed with his Remington SP-10, Lawrence had decided he had enough of being stuck inside and went to take matters into his own hands. Foolhardy as he or his plan was, the sound of his 10-gauge blasting away in the streets had an rallying effect on the populace. One by one, group by group, the town rose up with whatever they had on hand, eager to take back their hometown no matter the cost.

Little did they know that the cost for freedom would be considerable.

By the end of the battle, much of the population had been slaughtered by the beasts, leaving mostly the young and old behind to make something of their sacrifice. But with winter drawing near and no word from the government or other towns, the few survivors of Hvass are alone in their plight. If those who remain are unable to work together like their neighbors had done, it'll certainly be one cold, long merciless winter.

The town of Hvass dates back to the ninteenth century, wherein groups of Scandinavians immigrated to the United States following upheaval and strife in their home countries. Though the group that settled Hvass included Swedes and Norwegians, much of the actual town owes its success to the Danish that preferred to settle in and build up urban societies, in turn giving the town a strong Danish influence that persists even today.

Over the years, Hvass would see great success, booming in both population and wealth. It, like many other towns and cities in the area, heavily partook in agriculture and coal mining, as well some factory work. Local historians consider this the golden era of Hvass, with the town's population rising to around ten thousand at its peak. By the end of the World Wars, and eventually following the Illinois exodus that had begun in the 1970s, however, much of this prosperity has disappeared and decayed, leaving empty, worn buildings behind as the locals left for greener pastures.

Below, you can find a list of some important and notable locations within Hvass. Not everything in Hvass is listed here, but it should nonetheless give you an idea of the town itself:

INNER HVASS SAFE-ZONE

• The Walls
• Grace Lutheran Church
• Sarahbeth's Boutique
• Main Street Diner
• Hansen Furniture
• Hvass Town Hall

OUTER HVASS SAFE-ZONE

• Town Streets
• Hvass Primary School (K-6th)
• Hvass High School (7th-12th)
• Ol' Country Gas Station
• The Hvass Courier
• Bager Auto Body
• Settler Park

• When making a character, characters must be in town, indoors at the time of the Fog.

• Despite being a fictional town, much of Hvass is based on your run of the mill Midwestern towns and cities—something to keep in mind when making your character.

• If you come into this RP with a sword-swinging samurai, a gravy seal wannabe soldier, or anything of that nature, your RP career is automatically forfeit. Same goes for those who want to game the system by RPing a cop or active military. You're normal as normal goes.

• Quality over content. Generally, you should be capable of posting a few quality paragraphs once or twice a week. That said, the GM team isn't much of a stickler with these things. Everyone has lives outside of RPG. If you're planning to ghost after joining, though, steer far and clear from this RP.

• Face claims are to be picked from real actors. No anime, art, etc.
