Let's say I make a man with bull horns. An anthro race as you would have it. How "fantasy" is the rp?Or can I make the Captain's 2nd in command? I have a very beautiful idea.


Very fantasy.

Custom races are a go, say again, they are a go.

Captain's 2nd in command is available.

Very few limitations in this RP; creative freedom for the win.

-finishes reading thread at last-This is quite the RP you guys have D: room for more? ;-;


Of course. The more the merrier. Maybe.
Yo Kilo, I wanna start drafting my first post because I am super organised.

Something dawned on me, what's the deal with the calendar? What we using? Earth's? Nation-specific?

When we starting? Winter? Summer?

Let us know when ya can, cheers. :)

EDIT: To anybody thinking of joining a side, or direct military involvement, here are the faction territorial holdings and army dispositions.



Blue = Government
Green = Nationalist Rebels
Red = Communist Guerillas

I almost forgot this was just the -interest check- for a moment there with all the updating and progress we've been making with this snarky comments and offhand helpful moments XD


We're getting there.

"Style of Play" section is up, basically covering post lengths, writing quality, profanity, scenarios and sexual stuff.

I guess the rules will be next, then I need to add another character to the Notable NPCs list.

The Lore section will probably be a lively animal, expanding as the RP progresses and new things are touched upon. So for now it'll stay as it is unless I think of more things to add, which will probably happen.
Then by the power of RP democracy, I declare the appearance related topics picture friendly.

You want us to type up our character description, or is it ok to find pictures off the internet to use?


Good question. How do you all feel about pictures used in description instead of text? I find it's usually chalk and cheese with people, so now's the good time to get a consensus.

Indifferent to the sheet. I usually put most of the info required in mine anyway. A bit itchy about the numbers or a 'personality' field in general as characters should change over time, but what the hell i'll just update the sheet when that happens :P


The racism, piety, snobbery and sexism thingS are there because our guys/gals are adults, having lived for a couple of decades or more. They would hold beliefs that they'd of picked up during that time, and would have them at the start of the RP. Your sheets are never set in stone, they're a starting off point. Blah blah blah blah. :)

I'm assuming we wait to build our characters until the final version of the character sheet?The character sheet is well done, by the way. I have no qualms with it.


I FUCKING TOLD- oh, oh okay, thanks :)

Um, well I don't think it'll change much. I need to come back and look at it tomorrow, because I often find that after writing something, it becomes hard to judge it right away. I need to semi-forget I wrote it, look it at it with fresh eyes, and then realise there's no 'i' in Full Name or something stupid.

Let's see what the others say.

I'm actually a fan of alchemy myself xD so i was quite amused when i saw someone else thinking along similar lines. Looking forward to seeing what you work up, Hamster!


I bet you are.

Right, now before I release this, I'm going to state the following: if we have 6 pages of people arguing about character sheets I will verbally abuse you all, then go outside and step on a hedgehog in front of its children. Open to feed back, and criticism, but please keep it helpful :) Consider this the alpha.

Character Sheet

Racist Tendencies: (Does your character harbour any negative judgements against other races, regardless of what lies below the surface? List them here. Fucking Elves and their pointy eared arrogance, you know what we should do? Just sail them off to an island and blow it up.)

Piety: (On a scale of 1 to 10, does your character worship a God and follow their earthly tenements? 1 = Lol no, 10 = I live under a pedestal, and hurt myself if I have impure thoughts... and sometimes kill children for disrespecting the powers that be but shhhh.)

Justice: (On a scale of 1 to 10, If someone wrongs them, would your character take things into their own hands? Or would they seek help from the established authority? 1 = BITCH THEY DED, 10 = The system is all that keeps us from descending into a mindless anarchy.)

Secondary Weapon: (If your long sword is stuck in someone elses’ chest, what do you draw next? Maybe there’s a longbow strewn across your back?)

Hidden/Stored Weapons: (Every good rogue keeps a blade in their boot; every good warrior keeps a knuckle duster in his/her shin guard.)

Passive/Suppport

Alchemy is fantastic fun if you know what you're doing xD


Making the sheet now. Always tricky, these things. Stay tuned!




Oskar shrugged, and then nodded in Hannah's direction. "We follow her, I guess," he said.

Hannah walked into the large concrete expanse of the pharmacy's carpark. There were no cars around, which was strange; the End Times saw places like this packed to the brim with desperate families and opportunists. The pristine condition of the building was another warning sign that something was afoot. There was no broken class, no garbage, no blood or bodies.

Something small but hard dug into the sole of her foot as she began to move forwards. A small stone perhaps? Curiously, she lifted her boot and caught the glimmer of a spent shell casing. Movement caught her eye on the pharmacy's flat roofing, and she had but a second to curse her shell-shocked stupidity for just walking into this trap with zero regard for caution before gunfire rained down on her.

With no cover to avail her, it was down to good old fashioned luck and chaos. As the bullets smacked into the concrete around her, she was already up and moving - not away, but towards - the pharmacy in a zig-zagging fashion. One of the most effective ways to break an ambush, was to simply dive forwards at the attackers. Never give up to confusion or panick. Turn the tables on them, as quickly as you can.

Well, whilst that may have been true in Vietnam and when her ancestral kinsmen were fighting rice farmers with napalm, she was just one person against an unknown number of hostiles on an elevated position. Her helmet twisted violently half a turn, partially blinding her, as it reeled from the impact of what she suspected was a 7.62mm round. No pain though, which was good.

A couple of heavy duty metal garbage bins lay up ahead, just yards away, and she made for them.

Oskar had thrown himself onto the grass verge on the carpark's out skirts. He fumbled, as he often did, with the scope of his rifle; the muzzle flashes of Hannah's assailants were clearly visible. If she could keep them firing, then he could launch an ambush of his own. The problem was, the dumpsters she had thrown herself behind were whittling away under concentrated automatic fire.

A man's head, wrapped in a black bandanna, consumed Oskar's rifle scope, and he pulled the trigger. His rifle made a deafening explosion of thunder, but he did not flinch; he was already moving along the rooftop to the next bad guy. Another shot of his Winchester, and the scene was suddenly taken by silence. Either there were only two of the bastards, or their friends had gotten wise to the fact that a competent sniper - no, huntsman - was stalking them.

"Kylie," whispered Oskar. "I know you're exhausted, we all are, but that pharmacy is too good of an opportunity to pass up. I think Hannah is going in anyway, and I'll be damned if I let her go alone. Get back to the HUMVEE, see if you can get Cam's rifle, and then get back here."
