Abandoned Hope
An Apocalypse Roleplay
Premise:
For once, it seemed the street preachers were right. The end of the world was nigh. Massive earthquakes were becoming more prevalent in the Pacific Northwest, with a 9.2 hitting Seattle just a week before doomsday. A freak storm in Chicago left millions without power, food, and shelter—and with the break down of law and order, chaos erupted. However, other countries fare no differently. In the Middle East, ISIS has devastated United Nations forces, and now holds Saudi Arabi in a death grip. England, successfully leaving the European Union, finds itself with massive food shortages as an unknown virus purges the land. Other countries look on in fear and terror, as massive hurricanes storm Australia, leaving many dead.
The disasters continue erupting, with all of the religious authorities proposing new horrors to come, each more grotesque than the last. They can only agree on one thing: the center of this bloody storm is in Altsoba, Washington. June 20th is the fateful day—the day, supposedly, in which the world shall truly end.
Hunters, exorcists, scientists, journalists, and believers from all across the world have begun to gather in Altsoba. Some of the townsfolk flee, seeking comfort in friends and family, while others choose to remain. It is these people who will shape the fate and destiny of the planet. It is their stories that we tell.
Playable Characters:
Locals (your bakers, teachers, students, so forth)
Outsiders (individuals who wanted to come to the epicenter of the apocalypse, must be a good reason!)
Paranormal individuals (minor powers allowed, demons, vampires, werewolves, and so forth can be accepted with GM approval—must send a PM!)
Minimum age for main characters is 16
Rules and Other Things:
1. This RP is high-casual, so expect a decent length
2. You need to post at least once every 7 days, otherwise your character may be killed off
3. No characters are safe—characters may be killed at any time (even mine!)
4. GM and Co-GM's word is law
5. No drama in the OOC, or you’ll be kicked out
6. Use decent spelling and grammar
7. You must use the provided character sheet
8. Locals and outsiders are able to have minor deviances—slight supernatural abilities—such as being able to see ghosts, good empathy, hands burn on contact with demons, ect ect
9. Characters need GM approval before they can be put in the IC (this isn’t first come first serve, quality characters first!)
10. You may have up to two characters
11. Locals and outsiders may find themselves turned into a paranormal (i.e. your human becomes a vampire), if this especially interests you, PM the GM
12. A majority of the lore for this RP stems fromSupernatural and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, yet this is NOT a fandom RP
13. Romance is allowed, but keep it PG-13 (fade to black, essentially)
14. This RP is realistic, and there will be gore.
15. Must be two posts before you post again
16. Villains will be played by the GM and Co-GM
17. Each character will need a unique color coding. Color codes may be rejected if deemed not visible/legible.
18. Swearing is alright in the IC--limit it in the OOC.
19. Contact the GM or Co-GM if you are unable to post, and we can discuss options.
