Two-hundred-sixty years after a long-forgotten Apocalypse, the former United States is split in half. The Eastern Half, stretching east to the coast and west to the Mississippi, is the pinnacle of post-apocalyptic civilization. There's several cities, all under the control of the Iron Empire, and people are beginning to get back to living instead of just surviving. The West, stretching to the Pacific in the west and the Rocky Mountains, is a vast, untamed wilderness. There's very few organized settlements and lots of natural resources. The land between these two areas, dubbed the Wastes, is a land of dangerous extremes. Searing deserts change into freezing tundras in an instant. The Wastes are populated by all sorts of unpleasant creatures and banditry. Our characters will be forced to work together after a dangerous encounter with some of the Wastes's less savory characters. Who are they? Why are they making the journey west? Let's find out!

@Wick

I messed up significantly. I accidentally put the CS for The Serpentis, please ignore that until I get it fixed!

EDIT:Fixed it, you should be good. Sorry about that.

@Wick

Okay so tell me more about the people. Have you see the 100? If so are they like the grounders or like the sky people? I want to make sure I create my charachter to fit in the right way.

@WickThe 100? I'm afraid I've not. People in the bigger Eastern Cities are going to be almost like the average citizenry of today. People outside of the Iron Empires Three Major Cities (What Used to be Boston, Richmond, and Philadelphia) live more like the farmers and scavengers of the fallout universe, tending harsh land and dressed in oft-repaired clothes. The West has only one major city (Seattle) and the people there live a modern life. People who aren't in Seattle live a large variation of ways, as everyone is far too isolated to have any sort of consistency.

Okay so we are talking about poverty and more hunting based areas the further away from the city. In the city how modern would they be? Internet, cell phones, middle to upper income, fancy cars?

@Nevix

@WickNo internet, and most city-dwellers make a fairly middle of the road income. Most cars aren't new and fancy, but rather lovingly restored pre-fall cars.

Okay Nevix, I would like to join this but I can't start anything new til next Tuesday. I'll have family coming starting on Thursday and they will be gone on Monday night. I can't do anything about it. My internet time will be limited. If this is a problem for you I understand.

@Nevix

@WickPerfectly fine! I can find other ways to occupy myself, like trying to find a cheap copy of "A Storm of Swords"
