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:

Reserving one more post just in case. Hi. Eventually a "Story So Far" recap sort of post will be placed here.
Note to self:
  • #785D62
  • #9F8E7A
  • #D19185

The first IC post will be a GM post, in the style of a third-person omniscient narrator. I will be able to set any scene you like. However, I will need to know "where" you wish for your character to begin.

Now, naturally you'll notice I don't have a map. I didn't plan to, either, but if we need one I'll get one. Anyway, it would be wise for the players to decide whether they're near other players (and if so, whom), and what sort of environment they would like to be in: for example, forests, swamps and rivers, a village, a derelict factory.

I will craft plot-hooks for every individual or group of people depending both on their environment and how many PCs and NPCs they elect to start nearby.

@Skepic Can you do better than anime photos? Other than that there's some grammatical editing which needs to be done, but the character herself is pretty cool.

Sure, I don't mind about the pictures, and it was a rough draft, so I'll polish it up.

Would a simple description of the physical characteristics suffice for the out of gear stuff?

I prefer photos if you can find one, but I understand that the sort of character art you're looking for simply doesn't exist sometimes. Descriptions are fine.

An intriguing advanced level RP that doesn't care about post length set in a world reminiscent of things like Papers, Please and Metro? I'll get started on a character.

@Skepic I'm gonna go ahead and add her to the character list preemptively, since I know she'll be accepted pretty soon. Just don't post the app in that tab until it's official.

The Good
  • As I read your history I was ready to get mad that you weren't gonna explain why a Canadian had come all the way to Germany just to join the RP. Then you explained it. LOL. His motivations are pretty interesting and you've covered all your bases in this respect. Kudos.
  • "Owl" ties with "Roach" as my favorite nickname so far in the census.
  • Interesting choice in weapons. His fighting style will be interesting to see. Two pistols tho!
Improvements Needed
  • I'm not sure the parents would approve of their son wanting to wander into the Zone (for any reason). Might be better to just leave it at "getting a Masters in a foreign exchange program," and then acquire the survival supplies while over there.
  • Hare-brained. ;)
  • You need an unarmored photo, bro, or at least a physical description.
