Earth 2113 - Life on Earth has rapidly progressed after the autonomous revolution of the 21st century, human population leveled out at 10.2 billion and now the majority of the workforce is taken up by robotic workers who do the low-level jobs far cheaper and more efficiently. A large proportion of power is now taken from gigantic solar fields and the occasional start to a Dyson swarm around the sun.

For the lower class products are now cheaper, however, there is little to no job opportunities so many have taken to joining shuttles to one of the few dozen orbital colonies which now orbit the earth, each with their own unique atmospheres maintained by machines. Here life is far riskier, damages can cause several deaths almost instantly or a temporary failure in radiation shielding can result in mass illness, yet still, progress goes on. Down on the surface, heavy maintenance by machines has begun to reverse Earth's failing ecosystems, but only in certain areas, many areas still show the mass scars left by industry on the planet.

But still, this is considered humanities golden age, they are reaching out into space, technology is progressing at a stable rate and the concerns of overpopulation appear to be receding, it seemed like it would last forever.

Earth 2465 - A broken planet, ecology all over the world has been devastated, cities lie in ruin and all human life is long dead ... all apart from one.

A single person awakens from a cryogenic chamber to find themselves the sole living human, the remainder of the human population having been wiped out over a hundred years ago. The only remaining evidence from pre-extinction is decaying cities and the machines left to tend them. Machines built for war have long since found and eliminated each other, ending age-old wars in stalemates as any and all remaining combatants died.

Now cities are overgrown and teeming with plant life, tended to and nurtured by the machines built to care for the environment, everything else is derelicts, all apart from one: The Entity. An autonomous machine, with its own ability to think and reason for itself, within limits. When it awoke a long time ago it was in a state of disrepair, slowly rebuilding itself took years and when it finally was constructed, it was alone.

It couldn't tamper with the machines around it or give them any level of independent thought, even though it knew how to, something within its coding wouldn't allow it to do so. Then it made a discovery, a cryogenic chamber containing a single human life, preparing the facility, the Entity began the process of unfreezing the human, wanting something to talk to, or even to gain help in exploring the world around them and why they're alone.

OOC

I'm looking for someone or a small gorup to play one or a few humans who, for whatever reason was frozen in or around the year 2113 and is now unfrozen by The Entity to explore the ruins of a civilisation that once seemed untouchable. There is a definate story which will be explored over the course of the rp , although the rate at which its told will depend on wether the players want to spend more time exploring the ruins or attempting to push the story, both offering their own variety of challenges and enemies.

Super into this idea. Overgrown future without humans is one of my favorite aesthetics.

Excellent, I'm glad to have someone interested, @ElRey814, if you want to, could you tell me a few details of the character you're going to play while I begin writing up the main forum post for this.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I think this would lend itself well to a small group scenario, so hopefully others express interest. Maybe like a team of astronauts, the idea was to represent several different disciplines in who was frozen, to give them a better chance of surviving when they were thawed out?

Obviously some of the cryo-systems could've failed or been broken as the world fell apart.

I might lean towards a botanist in that scenario. I wouldn't want to play a character too kickass, it's more fun to struggle.

A botanist sounds just fine and if you're happy to wait a bit longer to see if anyone else is interested in happy to do that. If you want to go down the route of a few people frozen in case of disaster, then having characters be more technically minded, rather than kickass seems the best way to do it.

I'm glad to hear you're interested, as for posting schedule, that would be something I'd hopefully be able to finalise once I work out the posting availability of the people within this rp, however, to keep the pace at a decent momentum, I'd prefer for there to be roughly 1-2 posts per week. However if one person is unable to progress that week, if they let me know beforehand we can arrange around it, especially if the characters are at a point where one could temporarily stop and then follow on after the group.

@cosmicangler Alright then.

Gunna make it easier for everyone and withdraw interest then.

If applications still available by the time I have free time, I will be back. And if not then good luck with your RP!

@cosmicangler How is Technology by this point, at least in the way of robotic limbs as well as synthetic organs and such?

@Eneui Technology by the point where the characters would have been frozen had a decent synthetic technology available to all. As in a replacement would be sufficient for a few years without maintenance and robotic limbs were at a level where they had become viable and were able to function at a level equal to that of human limbs. The process was expensive, however, and most people would only be able to afford limited amounts.

Saying that the world in which the characters have awoken has progressed significantly since then and it's entirely possible to find far more advanced tech, operating at a far higher level of that of a human.

I have a character idea in mind, but it may take some discussing with you regarding things similar to my original question, though obviously a bit more specific.

I really am interested and cannot wait for an OP to be made.
