INTRODUCTION.
The year is 2047. 25 years ago, most of civilization was destroyed due to humanity's own hubris. Nuclear war in combination with rising global temperatures and a strange abundance of natural disasters wiped out billions of people. Yet, some managed to survive the wreckage and have worked to rebuild what was once there, continuing the fight against nature and each other for a share of the habitable land.
Whatever hasn’t been turned into a desert of debris is being reclaimed by nature. Most freshwater sources are able to be used safely again (even more so with proper filtration). Animal life is not nearly as prevalent as it was before, however. Many species have been completely wiped out while others that managed to survive continue to suffer from mutations and infection. Plant life is ample in many areas, though the debris deserts are mostly lacking of such flora and fauna.
Humans flock to small societies that remain in the skeletons of buildings called precincts while others roam the land, on the constant search for food, water, and temporary shelter.
From Nothing to Nowhere will focus mainly on the people of Precinct 58.
RULES.
1. Due to some mature themes, I'd prefer you to be 18+.
2. This role play will be advanced lit. Good grammar, punctuation, and syntax are necessary. In addition, posts are expected to be multiple paragraphs/400+ words.
3. Discord is necessary for ooc chat. The actual role play will take place on RPN, but all of ooc discussion will take place in a discord server.
4. This role play is application-based. I will set a deadline for character sheets eventually and on that day, accepted people will be sent the discord server link in PMs.
5. There will be some details required for character sheets. Other than that, any coding or extra details are up to you. Feel free to submit multiple character sheets as well. Those accepted will also be allowed to create new characters as they wish.
6. Once the role play starts up, please be able to post at least once a week.
Extra Info
As stated before, the role play will focus on Precinct 58. Precincts are groups of people/small societies that have settled in a place-- usually some sort of fortified building-- and are self-sustaining. Each precinct can be identified by a number. Every precinct is ran differently. Some are more authoritarian while others grant their people more authority. Some are ran by a governor while others rely on a council for decisions. Some combine the two concepts. It isn't uncommon for these governments to become corrupt. Some are opened for those not part of a precinct to join while others are not as accepting of outsiders. Some stay in contact with other precincts and trade while others keep to themselves.
Precinct 58 is located in what was once the Northeast of the US. It is only a few hours away from the ocean by foot and also has access to a freshwater river and a forest nearby. It is composed of several apartment buildings. The roofs have been converted into gardens and have water filtration systems. It relies on an elected council and elected governor when it comes to making big decisions. It works as a democracy where everyone has a say, or so it claims. It is relatively open to accepting new denizens and trades with other precincts often.
Your character(s) can be part of any role within Precinct 58. (medic, hunter, enforcer, council member, etc.) As long as you have one character that is a part of Precinct 58, feel free to make an additional character that is a part of some outside precinct or is a loner/traveler.
The trading market is where anyone can sell/trade their goods. It is an agreed upon neutral area and safe zone, so any fighting will not be tolerated. Many times this is the place where trades between precincts will take place.
THE WASTELANDS
The Wastelands is a large portion of land that is virtually unlivable. There is nothing out there: no food, no water, and nothing for shelter. No one seems to really know why. But, the universal agreement is that you do not go into The Wastelands.
Precinct 00 isn't actually considered a true precinct. It is a makeshift base full of a group of barbarians/cannibals. The people do not act like humans. Instead, they behave like rabid animals. They will kill on sight, so no trespassing unless you have a death wish.
Just as the name suggests, The Lake is indeed a lake. In fact, it is the biggest freshwater lake in the surrounding area that most people rely on as a water source. It is also considered a safe zone and thus, fighting or killing here will not be tolerated.
Howdy, my name is Oliver. I tried to start this up a couple of months ago but ended up putting it on the back burner. I have since revamped it, renamed it, and now I've reposted it. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns feel free to leave them on the interest check or PM me!
Character Sheets
Please include these things, but feel free to add anything else you would like! You can use coding for your cs but you don't have to use any either. Please use a real life/realistic face claims. And, as long as one of your characters is involved with Precinct 58 in some way, feel free to take any and all other creative liberties!
