We ned moar arpeez doodz. So here's a simple proposal I'm throwing together on the fly in hopes of getting some stuff going round here. ![]() As the world of medicine advanced further and further towards pushing the limits of mortality, so did it come closer and closer to pushing the limits of social stability. The medicine required to 'live forever' began to skyrocket in cost and people began rioting and looting. The occurrences were scattered and small scale at first, but eventually spread faster than a pandemic. The general populace lost their minds, and their meds. The ones who lived past the first withdrawal were the ones nowhere near the cities. It was worse in the heavily populated areas where more people regressed at once, making prevention almost impossible. The main lifeline med on the market was one called Zalpaxtril, now referred to as ZPax. It had a side effect no one had even considered being possible, when removed from the system of a patient, they slowly lost their minds and began to mutate into horrible creatures, some even gaining paranormal abilities. Now to say they lost their minds wasn't entirely true, some retained sanity and became hellbent on using their mindless counterparts to get what they wanted. Meds. That's what everyone wants, and that's why everyone's here. Welcome to The Haunts. At least that's what people call it now. The real name of this ruined city was lost a ways back after the second withdrawal. People just stopped going near it as the Aboths, as the mutated folks came to be called, took over. Only the crazy few dare go anywhere near big cities, and even most of them are afraid to go anywhere near The Haunts. That is until the broadcast went out. A recording went out over the airwaves a few weeks back and now people are flocking to The Haunts. The Scavengers, the World Reclamation Forces, the Abothiests, even normal people are coming in to the city. All because of the Meds. The recording over the airwaves told of a massive cache of ZPax somewhere in The Haunts and now the race is on to see who finds it first, to determine how the history of the world will continue to evolve. ZPax (Zalpaxtril) - A med to increase the lifespan of the average human to an indeterminate length. When cut off, patients with a certain dosage level in their bloodstream begin the devolution into Aboths. A residual side effect of the drug is to continue preserving the host body, so even though the drug has almost faded into non-existence, the Aboths remain in numbers almost as strong as the initial levels after the second withdrawal. Aboths - Strange mutations of people after being withdrawn from ZPax. Strange bodily alterations, high chance of a loss of cognitive thought and reasoning, though also can cause a development of psychic powers. They generally work on a hive mindset, sticking within their own subcultures. The World Reclamation Force - The World Government watchdog sent to kill Aboths and destroy any perceived ZPax caches in order to prevent a third withdrawal. Heavily armed with the finest weaponry and armor, even psychokinesis in some cases. The Scavengers - An outlaw group haphazardly thrown together with the sole purpose of looting anything of value from places like The Haunts. The Abotheists - People who worship the Aboths and wish to become one, though such a feat has been nearly impossible since the second withdrawal. Their wish is to bring about the third withdrawal, siding with the Aboths by working with the more human like leaders. Tech - slightly more advanced than normal, it's kind of a grey area so message me or type it up in here if you have any suggestions or anything. Also, there is some post-apocalyptic weaponry as well, so don't count out those kinds of weapons either. So the entire story would play out between the characters people make and how they interact within the city. Obviously every one is after the cache of ZPax, but not everyone wants it for the same purposes. You also have the Aboths to worry about too. I know a lot of back story is missing but I'm kind of tired so ask any questions you want about the history. |
I happen to know for a fact that Unicorns puke rainbows.
