I mean, there's probably some trauma held at bay, but no, by comparison you're character was pretty chill, not cartoonish to me.

Giant Slayers

@Ikan Not bad! I appreciate the decision to not go too grim; it makes me think of a more muted "zom100", or Zombieland. Not everyone handled The End the same way.

For being so pale, do you think the Rats mistake her for a Mole? lol

In any case, I approve the character, feel free to post this in the character tab. Just please @ me in ooc when you edit to add the image?

Alright, I hope we're all still doing alright! Looking forward to maybe seeing a character or two by Monday?

Interest Check 2.0

Time for a redo on my interest master-post.

I prefer smaller groups, I don't play with anyone under 18; the closer you are to my age, the better (I'm 40).

here are some ideas, in list form, and over time I'll add or remove things from the list:

-Scars of Frankenstein (castlevania inspired)
-Target: Earth! (a body snatchers/war of the worlds, "Invasion/Infiltration" kind of setting)
-High Fantasy, But Old West (self explanatory)
-Pirates of Dark Tides (Pirates of Dark Water, but with zombies)
-Van-pires (an existing 90's property that had no business being as [awesomely] bad as it was, an rp this would be taking the name and premise while ignoring the continuity, essentially a do-over. The premise is "What if Transformers, but Dark Stalkers?")
-Dinosaur Island (pretty generic and obvious, some people are stranded on an island with dinosaurs and have to survive long enough to either be rescued or otherwise find a way to escape)

Maybes:
Isekai

Hard No's:
SoL (it's fine as a genre; I even like a couple of titles, I just don't enjoy it for roleplay)
Mafia/anything that screams "toxic pairing"
Crossover Characters (I don't care how much you love MLP or whatever, you can't shoehorn your OC into EVERY genre or setting. This also applies to Furries/Furry Adjacent)
"Pizza Cutter" Edgelords (All edge; no point)
Grimdark (see Edgelords)

Deal Breakers:
If your interest is dependent on getting exactly what you want, we are not compatible.
If you can't be bothered to read, you picked the wrong hobby.

I'm pretty easy going regarding how much somebody writes in a given post; give me something to work with, sure, but don't give me something novel length if you don't actually have that much in the way of ideas, and there's a special place in hell for people who make novel length posts that don't even move the scene forward. If I'm reading a lot, than a lot should be happening.

Once again, this list is going to change over time, and thanks for yours.

@Shovel@Ikan

Busy week, here in the US, so no worries/rush about submitting characters, hope y'all are having a good one!

Giant Slayers

It's been awful quiet; that's what I get for starting just as the weekend rolls around.

Giant Slayers

Cool

<Snipped quote by RickyG85>

Sorry if my earlier question came across oddly;; — what I really meant was just to understand what kind of equipment and tools Moles, Ruin-Rats, and Rangers rely on. Since everything collapsed so fast, should I assume they mostly use scavenged 2025-era tools and weapons, or is there room for improvised or adapted tech in underground shelters?

@Ikan

2025 is the most advanced you'll be able to find, the surface and smaller shelters will rely more on stuff that's adapted/scrounged and held together with duct tape or something, yeah.

@RickyG85 Heyy, I’m interested in joining, but I’ve got a few quick questions! Since civilization fell in 2025 and tech varies between communities, what kind of post-apocalyptic tech people commonly have access to? Also, is the story set in a specific country or is it in a fictional region?

@Ikan

Hmmm... Well, what I described would imply (I thought) that nothing is really "common", certainly not on the surface. But, in the larger bunkers I suppose some civilians still have smartphones? I've been doing rpg's since I was 15; I know you're trying to get at something, but I can't quite figure out what?

Honestly I hadn't thought of where it would take place. My mind defaults to North America.

Giant Slayers

@RickyG85Few questions if you don't mind:
- What is the age of adulthood? Life expectancy of normal people during this era?
- Does hydroponic/mushroom farming exist for large settlements?
- How human-desired are they? Like given a mortally wounded Giant and a mortally wounded human side by side, what would a Giant go for?
- Also tech level? Like 1945 for the Outside World as was portrayed in AoT?

I'll try to whip something up soon.

@Shovel

Those are some good questions! In order:
-It varies; Undergrounders try to protect their youths at least until age 15 and the more well off Mole colonies can manage the mid 80's for people who live safer lives. Meanwhile Rat's in their more survival focused groups could expect a kid to start pitching in as soon as they're old enough to hold a knife or lift something heavier than a stool, and might look at you like you just said "I'm immortal" if you tell them you're 45.
-Yes.
-Pretty strongly, but, They'll go after whichever is closer or caught Their attention first.
-Civilization as we know it fell in 2025, so the disparity of tech level between human communities can also be radical, but the ruined state of the surface also makes it much less reliable, up there.

Does that sufficiently answer your questions?
