The world has just been hit head on by a large asteroid. Most of the smaller asteroids and the debris have burnt up upon entering the atmosphere. The damage to the planet is extensive. Earthquakes and volcanoes have been activated and the population has suffered massive devastation. Tidal waves and tsunami's have caused the coasts to be pushed inland. Since the asteroid actually hit in the Atlantic Ocean the water levels have risen exponentially. The Earth's atmosphere and oxygen levels are changed and 98% of the planet's population has been wiped out. Fortunately, Nature will always find a way.
The animal and plant life has changed immeasurably since the asteroid hit. Since the devastation of nearly all animal life there are new creatures that are completely new and some old ones that have adapted and now have harder skin whereas before they were furry. There are more reptiles and amphibians, and there are fewer mammals than before. The creatures are more vicious because there is less available food. People are no longer on the top of the food chain.
The people who were in the underground bunkers came out after a year. Not all of them survived. About half died in the first week. The rest of them began to feel changes as their bodies adapted to the new surroundings. Their cells changed and adapted to the atmospheric changes in oxygen and carbon monoxide levels as well as other gases in the air. Those that survived began to get sick with something like the flu. After about a week of illness they began to thrive. It was then that they started to realize that they had gained powers.
Your location is the middle of Oklahoma.
When they are fighting each other, the new wildlife and the planet itself will the human race survive?
Each player can have one power. There may be more allowed later on. Your power will not grow, but your character should not know how to control it right away. You should not be able to come out of the gates knowing exactly how to use it. Overpowering will not be permitted and all powers must be approved by the GM.
POSTING RULES
I typically don't have posting rules that limit posting. As long as you stay in the same time frame as the rest of the group you are okay to post your conversation or whatever they are doing. Be mindful of the time of day. I do post day and time of day up in the corner of my posts so you know when things are happening.
