In a nutshell, there will be a newly (well, a few years before this set time) elected president/prime minister/whatever-you-want. He'd promised to end the war that started during the campaigning, promised security and everything else any 'american' could need to feel safe from the harms of the heathens at our country's borders. This said person, who, with his power, has turned against the people who put him into office and has broken them down, enslaved them, and killed off those who deny him. He's turned our own military against us, and under his thumb, the military will travel across the lands, searching far and wide for the rebellious few who dare deface him and his views, and terminate them. We, being the stray rebels, are attempting to make it to a safe haven across the states. Which states? We can discuss that. I want particular states that might be more challenging to cross on foot, like mountainous states. Something that would take weeks, maybe even months to get through. Hell, if you'd prefer to play the bad guy , you could play as one of the militia sent after the rest of us. I think there should be a limit of 3 members for the military characters, and up to 2 of them per person. For the rebel characters, you can have as many as you want. I'll personally have 2-3 characters, myself.

Would anyone be interested in something like this? I will give this 5 days after the first confirmed member before I make an OOC thread and get this ball rolling. I'm looking for some role players who are willing to stick around for a while to finish out the story. If you're one of those to become easily disinterested if something doesn't go your way or the way you thought it would, please don't apply. I want people who can roll with the punches, and finish out this quest like Frodo and Sam! So who's with me?!

By the way, please tag me so that I can be sure of posts in here. I've been notorious to make these Interest Check posts and not check them for a few days because its so far down my Subscription page haha. Thanks, guys!

Bloop.

Really wanting to do this RP.. come on, there's gotta be a few people who'd be interested in it, too! xP Even if we changed up some of the details, maybe make it in the times of the holocaust, or whatever. These details mentioned above are easily changeable! I am up for discussions on it all :)

Bump! ^^

I don't know why anyone would want to RP a holocaust anything.

@Polybius For the same reason some might want to roleplay a World War 2 RP. History is history. If someone wants to RP a 9/11 RP, let them do it. No need to be condescending.

While I don't object to the basic concept, I feel the name is in very poor taste. This is an RP about rebels in a dystopian future, with secret police and an authoritarian regime, right? Why not use any of those phrases in the title, which would be more both more accurate and more respectful?

I saw the title. Seek professional help.

But America doesn't exist in pokemon?
There's just the regions.

@Polybius Buddha put it the best way. History is history. It's like, what if someone wanted to do a Slave RP? I've got Irish, African American, Mexican, Native Indian and Jewish blood in me. I'm an American. Should I get offended anytime someone talks about the slave days, 9/11, the holocaust, or neglect to talk about how all the natives, Mexicans and Irish slave days/genocide ^{(Mex & Irish didn't have a genocide but..it's recorded they were killed by their oppressors, too.)} were apart of our world's history, too.. no. I'm sorry, but.. if you wanna cower in the shadows whenever someone brings something to the light, please stay there. Those of us who have accepted what our ancestors went through are okay with talking about it and are okay to revisit those dark times. I'm mostly sorry that you haven't reached that point yet. And if you don't have family who was apart of any of those slave days/genocides, please.. don't speak up on their behalf. I know what I am getting myself into....
Respectfully yours.
