Sewer Rats

Plot:
In 2063, all out Nuclear War broke out between countries after tense relations and threats of war. However, it was only due to the actions of a hacker that the first nuclear bomb was sent out. Then, after that, it was only a chain-reaction as bombs and missiles were sent out until it was a catastrophe. A good number of humans managed to flee underground into the sewers and in bunkers. Those left outside were killed in the initial blast.

But, even after that, the outside wasn’t safe. The large amount of radiation led to the overground becoming a… let’s just say: Bad Idea. Half of the humans fled to the underground in some attempt to escape the underground and return to some form of familiarity. (And to test out the damage.) However, many died from radiation sickness overground while some… some experienced some rather… startling changes. Especially considering some became infected with other animals and this… strange combination became reality.





(I can go more into detail regarding their abilities, all you have to do is ask!)
The other humans decided that it’d be best to stay underground for the foreseeable future.

But, that lead to even MORE issues when food and water began to run out and the restlessness began to set in. Tempers flared and insanity began to creep in amongst the population crammed in the sewers. In-fighting began to happen and some left to the surface after stealing food to test their own luck. By the end of a 10-year long period, the world population fell down to roughly 100,000 spaced out all over the world.

Any food is on the surface and food underground is running low. People have split off to go on their own or in small groups. There’s no time for niceness. When you can only survive on the surface for roughly 6 hours before the radiation hits you and you become a goner, things like: Food, Water, and even gas masks become something humans are willing to fight over.

THIS is where our story begins.

Premise:
I am looking for 6 other people. 5 would play as a small group of survivors aged anywhere from 8-19. Yeah, it’ll be a group of kids and teens. (19? Eh, still counts.) I would also be playing as a survivor. The group would start out in the sewers in their own little nook. (Think of the lair from Ninja Turtles, albeit less nicer.)

I will start the group out with 5 days worth of food and water. There’s no power in the sewers so you’re mostly living off of candlelight and fire for warmth and light. What you do as survivors is up to you. I will be playing as one of you, trying to survive and such. However, I can only help so much. It’ll be up to me AND the rest of you to survive. Remember: You can only survive on the surface for 6 hours before you basically become a goner. So, we’ll have to scavenge on the surface to survive, while also keeping in mind that there are monsters on the surface as well as other humans who will try and raid our sector. Keep that in mind before you go sending people out to scavenge.

Now, notice that I said 7 people were needed yet I only mentioned 6. Well, that’s because the 7th person has a very special role… as an antagonist. They will work as all the bad in the world. When I choose the person to be evil, I will privately message them with a list of their abilities as the antagonist. They will have a lot of them and will even be able to give their own ideas. Each ability costs energy and they only have a certain amount of it. However, as the days go on and they get kills, their maximum energy will increase and they can do more. However, every day in-game, the energy will re-fill.

So, to my antagonist, your only goal is to cause as much misery and pain to the survivors as you possibly can. I know, right? Fun.

And you may have noticed that I mentioned ‘gaining kills’. Welp, onto the next topic.

Twist:
This is an apocalyptic-SURVIVAL rp meaning that it is extremely possible that you could die if you don’t play your cards right. And there is no comeback from this. I mean, if another person joins later on then that's fine. Mostly? If you die, it's game over. However, you won't be out of it. You could, if you'd like, join the other antagonist and have control over any bad things that might happen to the other characters. OR, if you'd prefer a more protagonist role, you can create a new character and have them join the fight. All depends on you.

And here’s a few extra bit of information that you can look over if you’re curious about other game mechanics. I may add more to it as the questions come in.

@BubblegumQueen Alright, here she is, I left the relationship blank for the moment so that way if other people want to have an established relationship with her, I can add that in and then move her over, if she's accepted of course, hehe. Also I tried to make her not too knowledgeable with her skills, but if it seems like too much for her age, I can adjust it appropriately.

@Sohtem,

Awesome! So, go on ahead and move your character over to the Character section. But, don't forget to go back and add your weakness section.

And skilled in medicine, hmm? Welp, I think our 2 characters will get along quite well.

@BubblegumQueen if you need a different pic let me know. the only reason i didnt pick the live action version is cuz i like the look of the game one more. he looks too clean in the show.

also i will probably fix the bio



Name: Elijah McDonnell
Nicknames: Eli, Mac, Jesus, The Director
Age: 29
Personality: Eli is very creative, but nobody needs a creative writer in the apocalypse. He tries to be humble and sensitive and generous, but can be pushed into a rage by inconsiderate or selfish people. He has a certain self-hating thing going on, but also comes off as aloof to the point of conceited, but that's mainly because he's so introverted and spends all of his time in his head.

Biography: Eli was in the military for 4 years and at the same time, he also tried his hand at filmmaking; his co-workers dubbed him The Director. He didn't like it but it was better than the usual nicknames. His parents always knew the end of the world was coming so they had basically made a compound where they stored food and stuff. Unfortunately, when the shit hit the fan, he was in NY visiting his sister. Now, he just wants to get back home to his parents and other siblings.

Relationships: TBD
What you originally brought: 9mm Beretta handgun, pocket knife, towel (don't panic... XD )

Skills/Abilities: Self-Defense (in the form of Israeli Defense Force martial arts and US Army training); psychology (whether you call it intuition, empathy, people-reading etc. he knows how to deal with individuals); driving (like, stupid-good. not The Transporter good, but still...maybe Drive good); leadership (mostly due to his military experience and knowledge of psychology, but also because he doesn't panic as much as most people do during conflict or stressful situations); inventory (did it for over 10 years).

Weaknesses: Although great at reading people and handling individuals, he is terrible with groups or strangers who are overly aggressive; doesn't like conflict, verbal or physical; can get irritated or even very angry at people for being inconsiderate or selfish; overly nice and generous, even to his own detriment; a bit conceited; lazy when it comes to physical labor; is not very physically strong or fit; not a good runner.

Other: Eli knows where his stash of real survival equipment is: NC. He has no idea how he's gonna get there.

Aaaaaaand finally done! Hopefully you can forgive my succinct "personality" section - I would really rather show that kind of thing in the RP itself! I can expand on it if necessary, though.

@Infamous EmpathYeah, without proper equipment you won't survive more than 6 hours outside.

You're Accepted!

Aaaannd, we're waiting on 2 more people before we can get started!

@Infamous EmpathYup. And the air itself is laced in very light traces of radiation. It's okay and manageable doses, BUT if you breathe in too much... you get sick, and there's a very good chance you'll die. (Unless you get potassium iodide in your system within a few hours of infection. But, you would have to find a pharmacy that sells it as they're pretty rare to find.)

Looking forward to getting this started, anyone want to set up an already established relationship between mine and theirs? Just so there's less need for introductions from everyone.

Hence why Maria uses a diving air tank for the JRS.

What an intriguing batch of characters. As antagonist, I wonder just how much the hell I will put them through will change them. If they survive at all.

It won't change Maria at all. She's already had enough shit done to her. Worse case, she goes psycho and starts blowtorching clickers to death. Best case... She goes psycho and starts blowtorching clickers to death.

Added trap making to Maria's bonuses, and made her sickly as a balance. Medics might have to spend a lot of time around her.

@Lady SeluneDon't worry, we got you! And Lavender is probably gonna end up being overprotective of your character due to her being sick all the time.
