The storyline: The year is 2013, after the major outbreak of a deadly virus known as the Hydravirus (made-up) in 2012, fifty percent of Earth's population has been killed off and there are only a handful people who are immune to the airborne virus. You are those handful. You are gathered up by a government organization and taken to an abandoned mill town in the hopes that you will survive to help rebuild the human population after the virus takes its course. You are each only given several days of food and water, in which you are to share with your fellow colonists. After that you must fend for yourselves. You must make your shelter in the abandoned buildings of the mill town. The people who are put in the colony are from different backgrounds, careers, countries, and religions, but to survive you must work together. You have all lost family and friends to this virus. Can you survive life after the apocalypse?
The max number of people to be accepted is 15, no more. Try to make it equal male and female. Also, this is to be a realistic SB. No zombies, etc . . . Another thing is I am going to ask people to do things to the colonists. They will be marauders, these people do not have to create a bio. But for the people who are the marauders, all I will ask is either A: threaten our resources whether it be food, medicine, water, etc . . . B: Personal safety (destroy something, burn a building, something of the like) C: Be a trader who comes a trade resources. or D: A traveler (or travelers threatening our personal safety or resources. First off, don't bother asking to be a marauder. These people have to be unbiased and changing. I will be part of the Colony, so all I'm going to ask is to do one of the 4 choices, but not tell him how it's to be done so it is completely fair.
Rules:
1)I am not going to put a rule on swearing, but it's your own problem if you get in trouble by a mod for excessive swearing.
2) For now, 1 character per person.
3) People who are characters can't be the random marauder.
4) 1,000 characters per post.
5) Marauders, if they want to post more than once, can kidnap a colonist, but they cannot kill a colonist, unless that person wants out.
6) Any person who comes in after the start of the story book will have to be subjected to a 12 hour solitary in case they have virus. (Even though they won't)
7) If your character designs something, it has to be realistic.
Follow the five rules of survival: Fire, Food, Water, Safety, and Power. Those are the things we need to survive.For the Colonist a basic character bio is this:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Career:
Appearance:
History:
Other:
