After playing the Division and seeing a good idea with poor execution, I decided to make a roleplay inspired by that kind of apocalypse.
In the year 2033, the earth's natural resources ran low. Forests that were once protected by laws were torn down. Wars were fought in the east over fossil fuels. Unions between countries were torn apart because of trivial scraps and squabbles. America secluded itself from the rest of the world, taking Canada with it by annexing it. Countries that were both allies and enemies to America tried time and time again to take the fuel found up north, but to no avail. The US tried the same with their southern neighbors, but with little success. More resources were burned in the constant wars than ever before. The world was dying, and nobody cared. That was when the world fought back.
Mother Nature herself waged her own war against mankind with the elements as her weapon. Landmarks flooded, tornadoes blew away our cities, and earthquakes swallowed civilizations whole. America was not spared from this torment. The west to mid west was engulfed in all consuming fire, and the east was laid to waste by hurricanes and never-ending storms while the north was buried under meters of snow.
The year is now 2040. Bustling metropolises are now silent, slowing being taken over by Mother Nature. Skyscrapers are now heaps of rubble. Giant cargo ships can be found miles from the closest body of water, and one can go a dozen miles before seeing another human being. With each end of the mankind, though, come the stragglers. People trying to survive day-to-day life are plagued by not just the elements, but also by disease, starvation, and even other people, taking advantage of a world torn apart. But even in the face of extinction, there is still a dim light of hope. Small groups of people still fight back. They push against the gangs that terrorize them. They endure through the forces of Mother Nature. They survive, and though they are scattered, they will one day unite, and they will one day take back their cities, their homes, their world.
The roleplay will most likely take place in the east, Virginia. It will be a sandbox roleplay where the people involved are survivors trying to get by while fighting other survivors and Nature. message below if you're interested or have questions.
