World building
Drama
Apocalypse
Conspiracy Theory
PLEASE NOTE: Despite mentions of biblical events, this is NOT a biblical story. The actual causes are something nefarious and apocalyptic. It would be a major spoiler to explain. But the Rapture wasn’t even a real rapture. Someone is using human faith against itself. The numbers taken were chosen based on scriptures. (The Bible specifies 144,000.)

Whether you believe in the biblical predictions of The Bible, some of them appear to be coming true. But on June 4-6, 2027 tens of thousands of people vanished without a trace in the middle of the night. No one saw it happen. But the Bible specifies the number that would be taken by the Rapture.
The World is rapidly headed for World War III. Thousands of nukes are about to fly. Pandemics will rage around the globe.
Setting
The RP will move about as needed. We will be looking for at least three groups. One will be a Threshold group, based in Washington DC. Another will be in Albuquerque at Sandia Laboratory. And a third will be in Los Angeles.
Group One goes where assigned by their Director - who answers to the President.
Group Two will likely be sent out to survey rumored sites of Rapture Events. They may be summoned by Group One’s Director.
Plot
There is a very real plot. It will be the DC group that is most likely to get to the bottom of things. Note that there will be two NPC antagonist groups.
Group Three are wild cards. They may include religious fanatics, UFO conspiracy theorists. Press, family members of those taken, and more.
Characters
Below I list three groups. Group three is the easiest group to design a character for. And I recommend everyone make a character for that group. You may create a character for each group, but the criteria for Groups 1 and 2 are much higher. Think Hollywood TV series high for Group 1
Groups 1 and 2
The first two groups may be a mix of civilians and military personnel. (A civilian should be in charge in DC. Military will be in charge at Sandia.). The Threshold group will be based on the concept suggested by the Threshold TV series. Each member of that group had a Blackhawk heli land very close by, elite military personnel knocked on the door and you were effectively drafted - by order of the President. The Sandia group is primarily made of research scientists and USAF officers. The Sandia Weapons Lab is in Albuquerque. Assignment was from people already working there, with the best qualified being selected. Once on that team, you are stuck there for the duration. TS SCI stuff.
Group 1 Criteria (top people in their field - limited roles - avoiding duplicates)
Group 2 Criteria (Mostly civilians, a few officers in the O4 to O6 range). High energy physics (lasers, emf, etc … as well as hypersonic aerospace engineering).
Group 3
The third group is just a scattering of people. I suspect this will be the group most of you will choose early on. We can always add the first two groups later on. This third group are just random people living their lives in the wake of the Rapture like some drama miniseries. This will require a little world building. In short, your stories will shape how the world is reacting.
You can role play in small sub groups, bump into one another, whatever.
Rapture Blank CS
I really don’t care about format. If you have your own CS format that is fine. But try to include the details in mine.
Please no animated gifs. I can’t read around them. (Medical issue with my eyes.)
All walks of life are welcome. However, some will be prone to die faster than others. Yes, some of your characters may die. This is Survival. The world is in a state of War even though it isn’t aware of this.
Posting
3rd Person Past Tense
Decent literacy
I typically manage about a page per post.
I would like to see weekly posting at a minimum. But we need to allow for everyone to post.
PLEASE: If you do drop, let folks know so we aren’t waiting on you. Communicate.
This RP will begin once we have 4 members with approved characters in a single group. More are welcome to join in as we go.
