Inspired by the Sumatran, Thai and Japanese tsunami/earthquake disasters and the stories of survival that came out of them

I usually write these pretty short stories about my ideas when I put up an interest check. To show what I envision the RP to be about.

But in all honesty I can't for this idea. It may still be too soon for these disasters, and the loss of life and property that came with them. Lives in the millions were lost, people missing. Husbands, wives, children, sons and daughters. Some of us live in landlocked areas, and will probably never know the devastation of a tsunami strike.

But I propose we try to imagine it, in our own way. No heroes, no villains, no people trying to get rich off suffering, or supermen who just got swept 3 miles from where you were with the ability to wade back in hours.

In a nutshell we will pick a location that is likely to be hit by a earthquake/tsunami event, RP the days before leading up to the event itself. RP the actual event, what happens to our characters when the waters hit and likely destroyed what you might own or where you might work. Then after the waves, RP how we might go about survival until help arrives. Did you lose your family? Are they still alive? Can you find them? Were you a lone hiker, and now can't get home? Were you a policeman or a fireman and now you need to figure out how to help?

We can discuss things like Character sheets and things like that later. I right now just want to see if there is interest in the idea.

This is so far up my alley that I had to build another alley just for it.
You've won my interest.

Huh, well that's one, would like 1 more maybe 2 before we switch this over to an OOC thread.

Thinking this will be in casual, but run mid to high casual.

I may as well give this a bump.

I'd do this.

If you're open to a suggestion for a setting, maybe Memphis, Tennessee? The New Madrid fault is likely to go at some point in the next century or so, and it'd be interesting to play as people who wouldn't normally think to prepare for an earthquake in a place that isn't really equipped to respond to one. Unless the tsunami part is what you're after, in which case I'll shut my trap.

That is a good option. We'll keep that in mind.

At the moment is it almost midnight for me. I believe we have enough people to atleast consider putting an OOC up. I'll get that tomorrow.

We can do somemore discussion on potential places for this to occur. And try to come up with a character template so we can put characters together.

OOC Thread is here.

Go there if you still want in, and weigh in on our first discussion.

Well this RP is still looking for people, only one person from before the brief downtime decided to make the transfer to the OOC.

If you are of the persuasion to come join, please check the OOC and make your interest known.
