So here's my story before I get into anything.
Hi, I'm PhantomSekai, somewhat long standing member of this site. I've been around since before the wipe/reboot of the site, as I started on this site back in 2009. I haven't RP'd in well over a year cause to be honest, I haven't cared too. I've had school, managing a social and romantic life, work, and looking to become a real adult (In college and trying to get a real career, not just a job to pay bills). So until recently, I just didn't feel like RP'ing, however...I stumbled upon this site in my browser suggestions and nostalgia kind of washed over me. To keep this from being to long, basically I want to start RP'ing again, and figured I'd just try and find people willing to RP with me.
For those that have looked at the tags, yes I intend for this to be an advanced level RP. Basic rules are:
-Grammar: Just make it legible. I'm gonna make mistakes like "jsut" but as long as you get the point across and it's not a five year old's comprehension of spelling and writing grammar wise, we should be fine.
-Time: Keep it reasonable. This is an advanced RP, so if you wish, a day or two to write out a full response is acceptable, hell even 3 days is okay. After 3 days, I'll start bugging you though.
-Limits: Basically, I'm not gonna say "Don't be here if you can't handle gore" but I do like to use more mature themes. Not just graphic stuff, but also adult level story telling that poses moral dilemmas. If you aren't into concepts that involve making harsh decisions, handling "real" issues and such, then this probably isn't for you
That's basically it. This is an advanced level RP so you should be able to figure out what's appropriate and inappropriate for this type of stuff.
With that said, lets move on to the actual RP concept.
So, first off, the setting. This is a "post apocalyptic" world, as in, this is about 300+ years after WW3 has ended. It essentially destroyed about 60-85% of the world and has caused a lot of shit to go down. To keep things simple geographically, essentially there's a new Pangaea. This large continent is about the size of Asia, Europe, and Africa pushed together. In this continent, there are several major areas, and factions. We'll go in a list:
1. Zeline: This is the eastern quarter of the continent. The size of china and india combined, it is the largest of any of the other countries, and is a mechanically advanced nation. From the ashes of the world, rose a group that had survived the nuclear holocaust in an underground series of tunnels and shelters, and after 100 years, they rose form the dirt when the radiation settled and with their technology created a large imperialistic nation that spread throughout the continent. They took over about 45-55% of the land but were halted due to unforeseen issues (i'll go into later). They were halted and from then on simply increased their technology by leaps and bounds and are currently in the development of AI to handle their everyday issues. Essentially despite the apocalypse, they have done quite well for themselves.
2. Natram: of the 55% of this new world that is dominated by Zeline, the next 44.9% of it is occupied somewhat by the Natram. The Natram are not a single group, but instead a united front of different tribes. See, while the future Zeline imperialists were hiding underground, the rest of the world was fucked, or so it seemed. But out of the ashes rose a new breed of survivors. Some of them simple mutated to be immune to radiation. Others became monster like beings, from rotting bodies that couldn't die, to giants of misshaped muscle and bone. To cut this down, the natram are tribes of different beings that developed post radiation and became more than the Zeline could handle.
The Zeline and Natram tribes went to war, and basically they held a stalemate. Which is why it's split 55-49.9.
Now you might be wondering "what is this other .1%?" I'm glad you're curious. In the North is a town referred to simply as "Neon" due to the neon lights shinning from it. The North is a wasteland of cold and nuclear destruction. There's no snow because the radiation prevents it, but the cold stays there. The city itself survives thanks to the power of the "gifted ones." See, while zeline hid from the radiation, and the natram were turned into different beings completely from it, the gifted were people that developed powers. Using these powers, they separated themselves from both groups and formed an area free from the war between the two groups. Now, why don't zeline or natram take it and use the gifted? Well, the north is a terrible place to be. Even the most powerful natram warriors and zeline explorers die in their quest to find it. It's a having for the gifted beings to hide, and an escape for those able to find it.
This is the setting of our world. Why's it important? Cause your character is going to be an escapee from one of these nations trying to get to Neon. Whether they're simply trying to get away from oppression, want to find power, are secretly a gifted one themselves, or anything else, your character wants to get there.
The RP itself will be around your character getting to the city, exploring, interacting with people there, and essentially other than a few major "world arc" type plots I have in mind, the way you'll carve the story out is by choosing who to interact with, and how to interact with them.
For anyone interested, please feel free to post here or PM me with question, concerns, or just to say "I'm interested and want to play with you."
