Welcome to Cyanide Suns. This is a Post-Apocalyptic roleplay with no zombies, no viruses, and no frills. This is the RP for people who like Dostoyevsky, Tarkovsky, and Zamyatin; the people who like to slow down and take it easy a bit with their action and adventure. My brothers-from-other-mothers who throw big dollops of existential angst, depression, and alcoholism into their characters.
Here's a rudimentary rundown of the story behind this RP (though I'll keep a list of worldbuilding crap in a Hider down below): It's the mid-nineties, in an alternate universe where the Cold War went suddenly hot about one decade ago. The "Two Days War" resulted in very abrupt and massive destruction both of Europe and of Asia before a sudden ceasefire was agreed upon by both parties, ending the holocaust as suddenly as it had begun. While the majority of the civilized world continues to function (albeit in a sort of post-war shellshocked state), many pockets across Europe and Asia have been irreparably ruined by the light which blinds the eye and the winds which level cities. Power plants, areas of industry, and major population areas especially were targeted during those fateful forty-eight hours!
And amidst the deaths of these places rose the wriggling white maggots: colloquially known as stalkers.
In this RP you have entered an Exclusion Zone for your own reasons. These reasons are up to you. (There's a pretty good list of ideas in the IntChk if I may say so myself.) What's not up to you is what will stand in your way: bandits, mutants, radiation, weather and climate, hostilities between traders and their factions,...and more.
To you who are interested, welcome. I hope this RP will see success for a very long time, and with that goal in mind, here are the rules which will be followed in this thread:
Here's a link to the IntChk, in case I've already answered one of your questions.
Here's the template/skeleton for your character sheet:
Also found here are media which, although not always directly relevant to the RP or its genre, will greatly aid the players in the matters of tone and atmosphere, character development, plot progression et cetera, should they choose to indulge in such materials. Many of these are personal favorites:
