<Snipped quote by Sven the Silent>

yeah i can keep up !
also Penguin is my friend so she will guide me with this.


Yep :) I've been helping him with the grammar haha.


@Penguin May I post my CS for approval?


Sure.
I think I shall make a OOC tonight or tomorrow :)
Thanks for the interest everyone!
@Penguin I typically do. It's not that I'm that bad a speller, it's that I tend to have trouble writing so much.


Yeah but that was only a sentence. I think you need to just slow down and go back after you type it and fix it. You can try using Microsoft word to help you with the spelling. :)
Might be interested if I can play as a less human character.


Yep!

Oooh, very interested. This would be my first Causal role play, but I'd do my best. This looks very intresting indeed....


Not that I wouldn't love to have you but I think you'll have to watch your spelling a bit if you want to join.


Size: 5'5" 120 pounds

Physical Shape: She is on the thin side with enough muscle to sustain herself through quite a bit of physical activity. Though fit, she is in no way very strong. Her small frame and physical ability allows her to be a very fast and agile individual.

Name: Emily Vica

Age: 20

Personality: Emily is an intelligent individual who tends to stop and think before doing. She knows how to assess a situation and think of the right solution in an efficient manner. Despite this, she has little patience for irritating people and can have quite the temper sometimes. That being said she can be sarcastic at times. She is not afraid to put up an argument if she feels it is necessary. Emily is quite brave and will put herself into combat if she realizes that is necessary especially for someone she cares about. However, as mentioned, she's very analytical and if she feels it will benefit her or others to avoid a situation at hand, she will say and do so. She is caring for those she values but will not extend mercy to strangers often and can actually be a bit cheerful around certain people such as her brother. Emily will try her hardest to act happy and be positive in order to cheer the people around her up.

Occupation: Freshman in college studying pre-med, volunteered in hospital and worked half-time at Starbucks.

Equipment: Emily is always wearing a brown leather jacket over a tank top with some dark green cargo pants that are tucked into a pair of black combat boots. Her jacket has an array of pockets that allow for her to store other small items. She also wears a set of black gloves. She wears a small gold necklace with a heart locket that opens to reveal a picture of her family.

Inventory: Emily has the following items with her in a light-weight dark-colored backpack:
- A refillable water can
- roll of plastic
- very small radio
- small flashlight
- 4 small cans of food, a pack of crackers and some nuts
- bottle of deodorant, half-empty toothpaste, cheap toothbrush, small hairbrush
- old wallet with identification inside
- can opener
- a blanket
- a small diary that's falling apart and a pen that looks like it was chewed up by a dog
- 3 sets of clean underwear and socks

Weapons:
- bow and a quiver of arrows that she had used during high school
- pistol with 2 magazines, tends to use bow

Background: Emily was born into a low-middle class family. They weren't starving on the streets but they weren't well off either. From a young age, she worked hard with the help of her parents' pressuring to do well in school so that she could hopefully give her own kids a better life when she was older. She aspired to be a doctor so she could be helpful to many and have enough money to not have to worry like her parents had to. She took up an interest in archery which she got good enough to participate in competitions to make herself more well-rounded. The negative aspect of this is that she didn't get to have many friends in high school. She rejected most invitations to go out and rejected anyone who asked her on dates.

When Emily graduated high school, she regretted this deeply. All her high school memories consisted of studying in her bedroom and trying to join as many stupid pointless clubs as she could to make her high school resume look better. She made the decision to ease up a bit in college and try to enjoy life more. Her parents had passed away before graduation in a tragic car accident and there was no one but her brother Axel to congratulate her. With the depression that followed her parents death, she knew she really had to try to get out there and find the joy in life.

In her freshman year of college, she had really started to enjoy herself and had made quite a number of friends. Not only that but she was managing to do great in school. That's when the virus outbreak happened and suddenly life wasn't so great anymore. Her new friends died off pretty early on and she ended up leaving to meet up with her brother to try to survive with him. Emily's way of coping has been to focus on the present and ignoring the past as much as she could. All her hard work in life had amounted to nothing and she has nothing but anger for anything having to do with the past.
@Penguin You don't seem to have any experience with the bow you're carrying, I think you may have overlooked to put that you've practised archery in your character sheet. :) Unless you're inexperienced that is.


haha yeah I meant to mention it and I forgot. Thank you! I just editted it in.

This is an RPG I created months ago that I'm interested in trying again. I had a lot of help from my co-GM Rookery with a couple things that I will credit them for but unfortunately they don't seem to be active as of now. I'd like to know if anyone would be interested in this if I tried this again. :)


(Thanks Rookery!)

In 2015, the entire world was pulled into nuclear warfare as World War 3 began. One country bombed another and that's all it took for others to retaliate, creating a back and forth nuclear war that managed to destroy most of humanity. It never officially ended due to the massive loss of life.

Twenty years later, the world is a completely different story. It is rare we see the sun anymore. The sky is usually overcast by clouds as dark as charcoal. Temperatures are cooler than they used to be and it's often a struggle to keep warm. It doesn't rain nor snow as much as it used to either. Growing crops is harder than ever with increased UV radiation due to the thinning of the ozone layer and a frost-free growing season for crops shortened by 10 to 40 days, depending on the region. Skin cancer ran rapid during these years. The population of the Earth has dropped to the thousands. Those who didn't die in the bombings died from disease, starvation or perhaps they were killed by each other.

It is a fight for survival. Laws and morals have been long forgotten. Many have resorted to becoming bandits, killing others for everything they own. These bandits sometimes group together and live nomadically, constantly killing anyone else they can find. Those of us who cling on to some idea of morals, we try to stay away from them as much as we can and fend for ourselves. Those that live sedentary lifestyles either live in random, abandoned places or in small, forted communities that often kill those who try to enter on sight usually due to fear of disease or of spies looking to expose their location. Other people aren't the only ones we have to worry about...

Animals have been mutating faster than the world has ever seen before. The exposure to extreme radiation and chemicals has caused for change in their DNA. They are bigger, faster, and definitely more hungry. There have been cases of flying snakes, eight-foot wolves, and even three-foot wasps. Humans have been mutating too, with cases of men with large eyes with the ability to accomplish night vision and of people with teeth as sharp as razors. People are evolving regressively to be less like humans and more like beasts.

In this new, dehumanized world, we face danger at every corner. Can you survive?

THEME POINTERS

RULES:
- All normal RPG guidelines apply, meaning mature themes are allowed but if there comes a time where romantically-involved persons are getting too hot and heavy, take it to the PM.
- This is a High-Casual roleplay. Please try to keep your posts to at least a 2-3 paragraph minimum. More is encouraged.
- The RPG takes place in the US. Try to keep the characters all there.
- No Mary-Sues. You're not just going to walk down the street, defeating everything in sight like it's nothing. It's a difficult world to live in and chances are you probably don't know the first thing about living in it.
- No godmodding
- No speedposting
- Have fun!
