Hello everyone! Well, I promised to get active on this site, and may my eyes fall from my head if I phail to do so. Anyway, for a role playing site we have a tragic lack of active games. I've had an idea for one in my head for a while now, but decided to try and get it going here rather than RPG just because I don't feel like turning down a bunch of one liner players...again...and I would like to see Vexar's beautiful site fully functional...and active. /soap box The idea of this game (please note that it is inspired by a European comic, which was at one point made into a television show called 'Jeremiah,' and which was actually quite good despite the horrible flashbacks of 90210) follows thusly: Fifteen years ago, a terrible plague now known simply as 'The Big Death' swept across the world. For some reason that scientists could never explain, the disease attacked only the hormones of adults, leaving those still 'in the age of innocence' (generally assumed to be those fifteen years and younger) unscathed. Mass hysteria ensued, and many who did not die immediately from the sickness were killed by mobs and the like. When it was all over, the world was void of adults, and full of children who, lacking the knowledge to work such things, soon lost running water, electricity, indoor heating, and all of the other modern day conveniences. Some died of hunger or simple illness and injury, not knowing how to fend for themselves. Some made it from day to day by the skin of their teeth. Now, only the grown-up children are left. There is no government, so there are no laws and no real currency. Some merely roam, seeking shelter, food, and water wherever they can find it among the ruins of the former modern day. Some managed to maintain the idea of nuclear families, others have reverted to a simpler way of life. But there are rumors of even others who are attempting to rebuild. ----- So let me know what you think. There are a few different ways we can go about this, meaning there are a few final goals we might be aiming for. Are we a group trying to rebuild? Or just a bunch of people trying to stay alive? As far as characters go, the only real limitations are your age, obviously. You cannot play someone more than around thirty years old, thirty-five, tops. You may play a child born into this ill-formed world, or one who survived the end of the last one. What I would like for character profiles: Name: Age: Gender: Appearance: Equipment: Basic History: |
