@Zapdos I like him so far! Adding!
@badguy28 I hope Biff enjoys his new role in the documentary of the end of mankind. Adding.

@Zapdos Fine by me, so long as there's some weakness to balance it out.
The body collided with a car that had frozen to the freeway, the body landing with a loud THUNK. It shakes, a hand reaching to its head, before it does its best to stand against the frozen vehicle.

It's apparent that the 'thing' is human. A woman, to be precise. She looks up at the top of the ruined freeway.

"Coming for me, beastie!?" She cries out, drawing a small pistol. Her voice contains a hint of a British accent.

-
At the edge of the freeway still perpendicular to the ground, a large creature drags itself toward the abandoned freeway. It is pale, almost sickly in appearance despite its large size. It seemed like an amalgamate of various creatures, dragging itself along the ash-covered road with numerous twisted limbs. Multiple mouths of varying size and shape at the front of the beast, where a face should've been, screamed in unison; a combination of a roar of rage and a shriek of agony.

@DeadDrop Your character sheet is accepted. Praise Papa Pete!



The city, or, any city nowadays really, has greeted with the dull light of a gray sky, filled with all manner of radioactive or volcanic ash. The city was practically coated in a layer of sooty detritus, like a distant memory of snow. In death, the city was still. Burnt out husks of cars left to rust, shops and places that once had meaning now torn apart; most looted of anything valuable, if they had anything to begin with.

There were no animals, at least ones in the light. Only the howling of the wind could be heard through most of the ruined, now-nameless place. However, one sound began to pierce the haunting silence.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit-shit-shit, shit!"

Down a sloping hill, that must've been a freeway in some forgotten time, a lone form tumbled down the side, doing their best to absorb the shock each time their body collided with the asphalt and ash, leaving a human-shaped imprint each time.

((Not much of an opener, I know. But I promise to ramp things up soon. Feel free to introduce your characters here however you please! Hope everyone enjoys their time with this RP ^_^ ))
@HumanMusic I like him already, accepted!

@RumikoOhara Ohh, I can already see some interesting things with her in the group. Accepted!

EDIT:

Now that we've got 5 characters, I'll get to work on an introductory post after I finish a few things.
@scifidude47 Did you want us to post our CS in the character tab or were you going to do it once they were approved?


If you'd be so kind as to put them in the character tab, it'd be greatly appreciated. You and @baranica 's characters have been accepted.
Mind If I hop in?


Feel free!
roleplayerguild.com/topics/166537-per…

OOC thread is up! Come on down while it's hot!

EDIT:

Also, all complete character sheets will be automatically added. @Karos , @baranica , your characters will already be added. @Dark Light , your character will be added once you have a complete character sheet.

See you all soon!


THE CORE CONCEPT:

The End of The World has come and gone. Within mere moments, everything about the world was turned on its head. Volcanoes erupted, clouds of ash coat the sky in a depressing gray. Nuclear weapons and reactors have exploded all across the globe. The world is filled with toxic air and polluted water, nobody can survive without a gas mask for long. No recognizable animal or plant life has survived, either driven extinct or mutated beyond recognition. The human population across the entire world is probably in the hundreds, maybe one or two thousand at best.

And to make matters worse, SOMEONE just so happened to drink what could've been the very last Pepsi in existence.

You ready your knife.

You're getting that Pepsi one way or another.

EXPLAIN WHAT I JUST READ, MORSEL.

Okay, okay. Put down that sawed-off and I will. Come, have a seat by this pile of burning Dr. Seuss books while we roast what we hope is edible meat.

This is a kind of RP I've wanted to make for a while. One where the focus isn't on the minutiae of the apocalypse, the how, the where, even the why. It's not always gritty survival, gloomy and grim lamentations on the failure of humanity. Rather, I want to create a setting where dark humor flourishes.

This isn't to say I expect constant random humor, of course there will be moments of sadness and regret. It is the end of everything, after all.

You've staved off my hunger for now, fleshy treat. Continue.

Alrighty. Hope that finger tasted good.

This is, in essence, an 'experimental' Roleplay in several ways. For one, the details, the 'how, when, and why' won't be delved into much, at least in the beginning. The setting has a few constants; the ever-present threat of death, the disappointing lack of flesh jerky suppliers humans, and of course, mutant monsters and strange anomalies around every turn. However, beyond that, the setting is what they players want to make of it. I'm completely open to new ideas, comments, etc.

The second 'experimental' aspect is that the cast ONLY consists of the players. Unless I see a need for more complicated ones, NPCs will consist mainly of mutant creatures and the like. This is a grim future, where human life is rare, fleeting, and too easy to lose. There won't be massive settlements, or bastions of civilization, unless the players choose to make one (Though the success will probably depend on how merciful your GM of the hour is feeling). The RP will consist mainly of the players making what they will of this dying world. Of course, I'll make sure there's things to work towards beyond racking up a high mutant kill count or finding another god-damned can of beans. There does need to be some general direction, after all.

The first players, once the RP begins, will most likely be assumed to have been travelling together for quite some time, or perhaps all happen to meet each other in happenstance, perhaps all cornered at once by a pack of mutant Kangaroo/Wolf/Bat hybrids. We'll cross that rusting bridge when we get to it.

Very well. How do I partake in this distraction on the road to an unmarked grave?

Glad you asked!

I don't have a strict set-limit for players yet, though I'd prefer to start with around 4-5. If you're interested, feel free to pop a character sheet right in this thread! I'll also happily accept any comments, questions, suggestions, or hastily-compiled lists of futile insults here, or via PM, whichever is preferable.

A FEW POINTERS BEFORE MAKING A CHARACTER SHEET:

1. I'm partial to 'everyman' characters. I'm far more interested in seeing a convenience store clerk or envelope pusher than I am seeing some genetically-engineered supersoldier that can survive swallowing a nuke [Basically, don't be too overpowered and try to stick to characters that can be flawed. Flaws are fun! They lead to adventure.]

2. Despite the first suggestion, bear in mind that due to the nature of the setting, basically anything goes. Human, Half-Mutant, Sentient Conglomerate of various mammal brains given life and telekinesis by the mysterious apocalypse; go with what you're most comfortable with.

3. Remember; this setting isn't all serious, all the time. So have fun with your character! Just don't go too overboard. No sentient pickles with rat body parts stapled to them.*

4. Nobody's quite sure how long it's been since the End of the World happened, but most canned food is still good, yet there are people born after the apocalypse that are fully grown adults. Almost any age for a character is fair game.

*- At this time.

MY CHARACTER:



CHARACTER ROSTER:

We'll probably start once we're around 4-5 characters strong. Currently, the hard limit for active characters will be 10, but this number may go up in the event that the RP starts to stagnate or I feel that, as GM, I can handle more.

ACTIVE CHARACTERS:

1. Misty [scifidude47]
2. Cato [Karos]
3. Nana [baranica]
4. Lucas Dane [HumanMusic]
5. Pam [RumikoOhara]
6. Fucker Joe [DeadDrop]
7. Calvin Carson [Zapdos]
8. Ahem [Dark Light]
9.
10.
