It started off real quietly, so much so that by the time the world discovered the Z18 and Z19 virus, it was already too late. A major portion of the world had already become infected with either of the viruses. The Z18 could be transferred from person to animal and from animal to person, but it would only turn people and, weirdly enough, some deer species. The Z19 was airborne and this one effected more species, a number of varying birds and people. Those that remained fell into two categories, these survivors were either immune or carriers, and with most of the medical practitioners among the dead there were few who could diagnose which person was which.

The number of living human beings went from seven billion to tens of millions in a matter of months, this number has only continued to decrease as the survivors fall to the dead and the living. All of whom are desperate to scrape out their own survival. Among these survivors a few people with the natural given talent of leadership have rounded up a number of survivors and started rebuilding the old world in their image.

They each started small, but as their group survived and their numbers increased, eventually they were able to take control of a small patch of territory which only continued to increase in size, complexity, and population.

Things to keep note of are resources.

Where do you get your water? Where do you get your food? Where do you get your building materials? Where do you get clothing?

Please answer the above questions in your first post across your timeline.

Also you are encouraged to answer some of these questions below.

Do you have laws? What sort of community are you building? What is its "government"? What is your community's view on killing the undead? Are you trying to recreate a peaceful community inside your walls that shies away from the darkness beyond and focuses on bettering the livelihoods of all or are you building a hardier and more militaristic community? What do you do to keep the community busy? Are there weekly events? Sports?

The human is a complex organism and requires complex maintenance.

The human is also an incredibly durable organism and is capable of enduring complex abuse and negligence.

I lost the papers I was working this stuff out on until I could translate it into a computer. I will do my best to push here what I remember, but I doubt I will succeed in getting half of it since there was a whole two pages just for the first post template.

Nation Sheet

[google maps city of your choosing]

Name of your group and/or symbol or image that identifies your group:

Government type and names of leading member or members:

Number of Survivors in your group: [i will gen this number for you]

List of important buildings in your list and a short summary of their importance:

Mode of transportation: What are you using to move your supplies around or even your troops if you have any

Military structure: if it exists

Police and other civil structures: if they exist

First Post template

How did you start off? Where? With whom? Or were you alone?

If you started with a large group, how many did you lose and why were each lost?

How did you meet the first group to add to your own number?

What made you decide to claim the first building of what would later be the center of your community?

How did you go from there to procuring building resources, materials, medicine, guns, food, and water?

How then did you manage to find or begin procuring a steady supply of food and water?

What about clothing? gear? armor? Where and how do you clean/mend it?

How did you clean out and claim other important buildings?

How did you expand and why did you expand your community?

Sorry this is lackluster at best. If you have any ideas that you want to add or things that you think can be modified on the above, please give me your take on it. In the meantime I will continue looking for those papers, I may just have to go back to my parents' where I probably did leave them.

There's a problem...

If you gen the number of survivors then some story might be cut..

If theres 10 survivors one might be a criminal and killed 5

It just won't make sense.

I think we should do a maximum instead of generated....

Also you should add morale..

Morale pretty much handles if their gonna fight or not..

@riprofsuls

How far are we in the future?

Not long....some fifty odd years

As for population...i am thinking between 100-300 or 250-500...so between those two opts i will generate a random for each player

I will be GMing this so those of you who post an approved NS may make their initial IC post, others will simply have to catch up.

Ok, but do we have a CS going on or do we just make our own?

make your own...I didn't include it because its big picture roleplay and no so much character to character roleplay.

Is this still alive?

I'm still willing to GM for those who want to play

I'm up for the apocalyse though it would be a long time since I am having trouble with my map.

i'm still here, just lemme know if you call it off or keep'er goin!
