It's been three years since shit hit the fan. We're not one hundred percent sure of what happened. All we know is that everyone out of their teens-- usually twenty and older-- died from some sort of disease. Why it didn't affect children and teens is still a mystery, and as far as we can tell here in the city of Kano, Minnesota, nobody's even attempting to figure that out.

We're too focused on trying not to be killed by the gangbangers and psychos of the neighboring "clans".

There are various small groups, as well as three or four major factions. We happen to be somewhere in the middle. We don't have an official name for ourselves, but we are those not accepted by any faction. We were betrayed, and left to die in gutters by those we called friends, or injured in turf wars.

I suppose you can call us The Forgotten.

We took up residence in a local pawn shop, and have held it for two winters. In a way, we're the merchants of this new world, but that doesn't mean people don't try to kill us. Usually it's one of the local gangs, but smaller groups have tried taking over.

In that last skirmish we lost a lot of good people. They were my friends, but we must move on. After all, it would be a great dishonor to them if we stopped moving forward.



So that's the premise. The Forgotten will be the main faction, but I also plan to introduce several gangs, a group that controls a sort of arena, and perhaps some nutjobs in a cult to round it out.

This actually seems interesting so I'll throw my hat in the ring

Nice to have you on board! :D

Also, I'd like to have a co-GM for this, since my schedule is a bit erratic.

I'm interested!

So we have three, counting me. I'd prefer five or six to start. :)

if you want ill co gm with you to be active when you aren't if you need it, also since this is an abstract idea I would wait for 4, as 5 or 6 would be pushing it

I'm on board. As far as co-GMing goes, I wouldn't mind helping out. Still, you should really wait on picking a co-GM until you've gotten to know your candidates better.

This sounds pretty interesting. I think I'll drop a hat into the accumulating pile.

Hello hi I would like to join this yup ok thanks

You've got my interest

okay, I can admit when im wrong. didn't think an idea like this would gain so much headway...

okay, I can admit when im wrong. didn't think an idea like this would gain so much headway...

Right?!

I'm even more pumped about this roleplay!

Tentatively interested.

Whoa. Nothing I've done has ever generated this much interest so quickly! Thank you! :D

Now, since multiple people want to be Co-GM, I think a writing contest is in order. First prize is Co-GM position; second prize is two items of your choice for your character to use (within reason; no rocket launchers or LMGs, but battle rifles, assault rifles, SMGs, and machine pistols are acceptable); and third prize will be one item of your choice. Subject of the stories?



Ya'll have one week to get your writing in. Send via PM, and I will stop accepting on Saturday (12/5). I will read what I have been given, and I shall crown the victors. Unlike the Hunger Games, you don't have to kill each other. :D

I'll make my interest known as well.

Quick question, when did the disaster event happen, and where (roughly) in Minnesota does the roleplay take place?

Color me interested! May I suggest a group of "lost boys" or something similar?

@ravenDivinity
Says it right at the bottom of the first paragraph, methinks. Go back and reread.

@WilsonTurner: It's not, which is why I asked. :P
