k e n o p s i a — character creation
The setting in which your characters awaken is inside one of a few dozen Cryosheds within the fictional Australian city of Otway, a combination of laboratory and storage warehouse for the rows and rows of cryopods lining the walls. Of the hundreds of slumbering occupants sharing this space, only nine of you appear to have awoken, with no discernable rhyme or reason or pattern to why.
Outside sprawls the overgrown corpse of a metropolis, its ancient manmade structures now devoured by the wilderness and wholly empty of human life. Whatever length of time had passed—decades? centuries?—it has not been enough to wipe clean the geological slate that preluded the end of humanity. The sky is cloudy and still yellow-tinged with ash, not cerulean blue like in the storybook histories of an era long past. At the faintest edge of your hearing, the ocean breaks against the new shoreline, miles inland from where it used to lie.
Despite this, there is something... hopeful, almost, in the damp kiss of humid air against your skin. It's warm and muggy, but not scorchingly hot like you recall from the days—it feels like days, but it's been lifetimes, hasn't it?—before you sank into sleep. Smoke and carbon-grit does not abrade your tender throat when you inhale; it feels strange to do so without the filter of an air mask, to taste the earthy, bitter notes of soil and plant matter on your tongue. It is the same Earth and yet not the same, a palimpsest of progress upon which Nature has overwritten in the absence of man.
When you had first closed your eyes and surrendered to sleep, it was the late 21st century; the current date post-awakening is unknown.
As a reminder from the interest check:
There are no set roles for this RP, and no real limits for character histories. But with that being said, please exercise your judgement during character creation. This setting isn't exactly the safest and cheeriest, and conses will quence. I'm not going to pull DM blows if you're playing a child, for example. We must all be equally terrorized by the plot.
I'm looking to run this for around eight players, and applications will be welcome until the application end date (whenever that may be, I'm envisioning this to be open for at least two weeks?) I'd prefer to have a decently diverse cast, character/personality/background wise, so I'll probably be waiting to extend official invites/acceptances until towards the end of the application period.
— One character per player, please
— Realistic faceclaims and/or written descriptions only
— Coding is not necessary for applications, but it would be nice to have :>
— Discord is needed for the official OOC, eventually
