It's 2150 and we have destroyed our world. The wars and the fights finally won over peacemakers as governments turned on each other and World War 3 was announced, in which they broke out special weapons: diseases. We are the only survivors left, those who had a natural immunity, and now we have to run from the disease ridden cities full of those who will now willingly attack us out of pure insanity.
All we have now is each other and the animals that accompany us, automatically putting their trust in the only stable-minded humans left in the world. The books speak of a sacred place where safety and bliss will allow us to start rebuilding the world we once loved, but to get there, we have to travel, following dreams and whispers in the hopes that this place exists.
We are immune to the disease but nobody is immune to injury, and humanity and death must catch up with us all at one point.
Welcome! This is my roleplay I wanted to do about...well, read the above I hope it does gather some attention because I think it would be something interesting to roleplay if we can get it going.
I will be making a separate thread for character profiles so we can keep everything neat and tidy and have a quick access to bits of information about all of the characters. There are going to be a few rules, of course, and it's in the advanced thread so keep in mind that spelling/grammar/common roleplay courtesy is important, not to be stuck up xD
Rule one: This is quite important: No one liners. Try to keep it to at least 1-2 paragraphs per normal post and 3-4+ for introduction posts. If there really isn't much to say then of course I don't expect you to make up a lot of guff about nothing important, try to keep it relevant but don't just post 'He sat down and looked at her.' or 'She stood up, walked to the window and sighed.'
I'd like to keep it action packed enough that this isn't a worry anyway ^^
Rule two: Under no circumstances do you god-mode, power play etc, which means no killing without permission, no weather changing or making things only ever happen to your character, like if mine is getting attacked and you say 'Blah ran over and suddenly everything started attacking her' just no. Don't be an attention hog and don't power play, which also means no controlling others characters.
If you're in a fight with somebody you aren't immortal and you can't dodge every hit either, it may be worth working out through PMs which character will win but make it realistic.
Rule three: No perfect characters.
Rule four: I believe that's all! Oh, don't just post once and run. That's no fun
Rule five: Oh, and if you want an animal, don't have the animal be your attacker. Animals can't be used in any fights between roleplayers but they can attack the diseased as the diseases aren't zoonotic (can't be passed between animals and humans!). Keep any pets realistic too, no lizards or silly things like that. Dogs, horses, maybe cats, all work if you aren't sure just ask 2 characters & a pet each maximum per rper!
And I know these rules sound strict but I'm really not all that bad! I've just had occasions where people don't quite get the rule and/or ignore it anyway
