I almost made the mistake of calling this a Dystopia. But that would assume that there was something utopian in part. Not the case here. There is bad; then there is worse.
You know that old insult, "Not if you were the last (man/woman) on Earth?" Well, you are the last. Or rather you thought you were. A virus had wiped "everyone" else out. You had a whole planet to yourself. That is, you did until you heard about people in Miami after months of solitude. Well, that is what the signs said - handwritten stuff on existing signs that began to appear here and there in the southeast USA during the 2024-25 winter.
Now for the bad part. Sure, there are people living on Fisher Isle. But the island is ruled with an iron fist by the Alphas. Mostly these are former jocks, ROTC sorts, and survivalists. The political climate is almost Roman, or rather Greek Council. Those who don’t meet the tough standards are deemed Gammas, Deltas, Zetas and Omegas. (Noone wants to be an Omega.)
It is NOT required that everyone start in Miami. However, the RP will be centering on Miami to start - Fisher Island, FL to be specific. (If you can get to Miami by foot or wheels from where you start, you can get there. You do NOT have to be American, but it I would prefer everyone speak English as a common language. Still no reason you couldn’t drive down from Alaska or up from Panama. You could arrive via sailboat, though most sailboats capable of crossing the Atlantic would require a crew. THERE IS NO ROAD THAT CONNECTS DIRECTLY TO THE ISLAND. However, the locals are using sailboats to get to and from the mainland.
The age range I am looking for is late mid to late teens. (Mine will be around 16-17.) Very few adults survived the plague. Current date is Aug 27, 2025. The earliest date of birth of any group member will be Jan 01, 2007. (In other words, max age is 18 years, 7 months and 27 days. There are older characters out there, but I have to set a bar somewhere. I do NOT want to see several characters all born Jan 1. And remember that their age would have been a year younger about the time the Hell Months began.)
