Roleplaying

I opened my eyes and looked around, daring not to sit up. I could see the sun shining through the cracks of the destroyed house. I tried to sit up, but I collapsed and fell to the ground again. Ugh! That hurt. Stupid gravity. I stood up again, getting my balance. I grabbed the nearest thing sticking up out of the ground, which happened to be a sharp, broken pipe. "Ah!" I yelled as I held my bloody hand to my chest to keep it from bleeding.

Where was I? How did I get here? What happened again? What was my name? I shook my head. I knew all of those answers: Home, I live here, the bombings, and Maggie Tylar. I stumbled to get my balance and started to slowly make my way out into the bright sunlight.

I blinked as the hot sunlight burned my eyes slightly. I looked around and breathed. Everything was different. All the houses were flattened, the grass was burnt, most of the animals were either gone or dead, but the forest seemed strangely untouched. I Wondered why that was. I suddenly saw something moving near the forest. I squinted, straining my recently rediscovered eyesight to see what the heck was over there. I saw it. It was some kind of weird, deformed creature. It's skin looked red, bloody, and raw- and it was huge! I gasped as it looked right at me. My legs collapsed again and I rested against the destroyed building, trying to get my breath. What was that thing?!

The setting is in post-apocalyptic California. The abandoned cities, the warm, fallout-stricken beaches, and the creature-overrun forests. This is the Golden State for sure! Though, some more secluded places are safe-havens for survivors.

After a series of explosions throughout the world caused by the bombings of nuclear plants in WW3, the mass clouds of fallout and radioactive debris caused hundreds to die, and many creatures to mutate and become bloodthirsty and extremely dangerous. Many cities are abandoned or have become mass graves for the people that once lived there- and only the most rural of places remain somewhat the same. The forests are overrun by new animals and people that have been exposed to the radiation. They attack on sight- sparing no living creature that wanders into their path.

The only way to survive is to band together, find all basic needs, ultimately keep your cool, and DON'T touch anything radioactive or get too close to the radioactive creatures. They will kill you, eat you, or turn you into one of them.

When the bombings of WW3 struck, nobody was prepared. The survivors gathered what they could and set out to find refuge- though many died in the process. The Human race has fallen, except for a small number of brave people.

Standard EX rules apply~~~

-Minor swearing is alright (fricking, hell, damn, and crap are allowed, but not too much)

-Romance is alright, but keep it to hugging and kissing- nothing gross please!

-No mary/gary sues, godmodding, power playing, controlling other peoples' characters, and whatnot.

-No killing without permission please!! unless they're NPC's or things not played by other RPers

-Respect the RP masters at ALL TIMES.

-And one more thing, characters SHOULD have a first and last name- because why not!

-THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!- Please type every post in First person (I, me, my). This RP is meant to be kind of like a survivor's journal. And it helps with more character development because you can really type what the character is thinking. Also, you can put a little 'signature' at the end like -Bob- or something to make it look cool.

-Lastly, HAVE FUN BRO'S!!!

 

 

-I'll keep the word minimum at 100 for now, and also you can have as many charries as you want for now. ALSO! feel free to put suggestions in the OOC chat~
