THE CORE CONCEPT:

The End of The World has come and gone. Within mere moments, everything about the world was turned on its head. Volcanoes erupted, clouds of ash coat the sky in a depressing gray. Nuclear weapons and reactors have exploded all across the globe. The world is filled with toxic air and polluted water, nobody can survive without a gas mask for long. No recognizable animal or plant life has survived, either driven extinct or mutated beyond recognition. The human population across the entire world is probably in the hundreds, maybe one or two thousand at best.

And to make matters worse, SOMEONE just so happened to drink what could've been the very last Pepsi in existence.

You ready your knife.

You're getting that Pepsi one way or another.

EXPLAIN WHAT I JUST READ, MORSEL.

Okay, okay. Put down that sawed-off and I will. Come, have a seat by this pile of burning Dr. Seuss books while we roast what we hope is edible meat.

This is a kind of RP I've wanted to make for a while. One where the focus isn't on the minutiae of the apocalypse, the how, the where, even the why. It's not always gritty survival, gloomy and grim lamentations on the failure of humanity. Rather, I want to create a setting where dark humor flourishes.

This isn't to say I expect constant random humor, of course there will be moments of sadness and regret. It is the end of everything, after all.
---

You've staved off my hunger for now, fleshy treat. Continue.

Alrighty. Hope that finger tasted good.

This is, in essence, an 'experimental' Roleplay in several ways. For one, the details, the 'how, when, and why' won't be delved into much, at least in the beginning. The setting has a few constants; the ever-present threat of death, the disappointing lack of flesh jerky suppliers humans, and of course, mutant monsters and strange anomalies around every turn. However, beyond that, the setting is what they players want to make of it. I'm completely open to new ideas, comments, etc.

The second 'experimental' aspect is that the cast ONLY consists of the players. Unless I see a need for more complicated ones, NPCs will consist mainly of mutant creatures and the like. This is a grim future, where human life is rare, fleeting, and too easy to lose. There won't be massive settlements, or bastions of civilization, unless the players choose to make one (Though the success will probably depend on how merciful your GM of the hour is feeling). The RP will consist mainly of the players making what they will of this dying world. Of course, I'll make sure there's things to work towards beyond racking up a high mutant kill count or finding another god-damned can of beans. There does need to be some general direction, after all.

The first players, once the RP begins, will most likely be assumed to have been travelling together for quite some time, or perhaps all happen to meet each other in happenstance, perhaps all cornered at once by a pack of mutant Kangaroo/Wolf/Bat hybrids. We'll cross that rusting bridge when we get to it.

Very well. How do I partake in this distraction on the road to an unmarked grave?

Glad you asked!

I don't have a strict set-limit for players yet, though I'd prefer to start with around 4-5. If you're interested, feel free to pop a character sheet right in this thread! I'll also happily accept any comments, questions, suggestions, or hastily-compiled lists of futile insults here, or via PM, whichever is preferable.

A FEW POINTERS BEFORE MAKING A CHARACTER SHEET:

1. I'm partial to 'everyman' characters. I'm far more interested in seeing a convenience store clerk or envelope pusher than I am seeing some genetically-engineered supersoldier that can survive swallowing a nuke [Basically, don't be too overpowered and try to stick to characters that can be flawed. Flaws are fun! They lead to adventure.]

2. Despite the first suggestion, bear in mind that due to the nature of the setting, basically anything goes. Human, Half-Mutant, Sentient Conglomerate of various mammal brains given life and telekinesis by the mysterious apocalypse; go with what you're most comfortable with.

3. Remember; this setting isn't all serious, all the time. So have fun with your character! Just don't go too overboard. No sentient pickles with rat body parts stapled to them.*

4. Nobody's quite sure how long it's been since the End of the World happened, but most canned food is still good, yet there are people born after the apocalypse that are fully grown adults. Almost any age for a character is fair game.

*- At this time.

MY CHARACTER:



CHARACTER ROSTER:

We'll probably start once we're around 4-5 characters strong. Currently, the hard limit for active characters will be 10, but this number may go up in the event that the RP starts to stagnate or I feel that, as GM, I can handle more.

ACTIVE CHARACTERS:

1. Misty [scifidude47]
2. Cato [Karos]
3. Nana [baranica]
4. Lucas Dane [HumanMusic]
5. Pam [RumikoOhara]
6. Fucker Joe [DeadDrop]
7. Calvin Carson [Zapdos]
8. Ahem [Dark Light]
9.
10.

WAITING LIST:
None yet.

GRAVEYARD:
-Whenever a character dies, their name, owner, and cause of death will be listed here.

Name: 'Fucker Joe'
Relative Age: 45 ?
Gender: Male
Physical Description: CORPSED
Gas Mask Description: Various words such as "Fuck fuck fuck!" "Corpsed!" and other profanties are scrawled on the man's mask. His mask appears to be military in some nature.

Job: Papa Pete's Cold Pop Floor Manager
Personality: Some describe him as FUCKING twisted, as he's from Papa Pete's Cold Pop Factory - the most twisted soda pop factory before the end. The man usually talks, to himself and others. He has a twisted sense of humor and a blessed mind set, survive by any means possible and never let a Cold Pop goto waste.

Story:

The man, Fucker Joe wasn't always known as Fucker Joe. His name was Joe the IV, like his fathers before him they were all too, called Joe. The family buisness was to continue to run Papa Pete's soda factory (the first in his heritage to not be named Joe). The soda was too fucking good, everyone wanted a Cold Pop - it was just too cold... Too delicious. Only few, those with the will power could man the factory as it too - tempted every worker with a Cold Pop. Joe was put to work as a floor manager when he graduated highschool, armed with a whip and the floor's slaves he worked them to breaking every day. The world wanted Papa Pete's Cold Pop, and they will get it.

That was until the slaves turned on the family during The End, then the corpsing began. A brutal uprising against the aristocratic Joes and the enslaved slaves of the evermore. In the end, The Joes were FUCKING CORPSED. An unfortunate end, yet Joe made it out - Fucker Joe. He wasen't going to die to some fucking slaves, not like this. He exchanged his whip for a new weapon - the Corpser, a bat with nails driven into it. Used by his mobile supervisors to... Encourage more work. With the Corpser and his Papa Pete's Cold Pop uniform he head out to the wastes.

That was a while ago, the man still looks out for the slaves that destroyed his family. For the only fate they deserve is a good corpsing.

Strengths/Weaknesses: The man is old, he isn't what he once be (a young corpser and floor manager). So he lacks some effiency in the combat department, where he - once was a good fighter. He is still buff, 98% muscle and 2% body fat thanks to a strong regime of Papa Pete's Cold Pop and human meat. Did I mention he's a cannibal?
Philosophy: "A cold pop a day keeps the undergod at bay."
Strange Behaviors: He is often heard praying to the undergod, apparently a dark being.

Favorite Thing: A cold... Papa Pete's Pop.
Skills:

Corpsed! - He has experience murdering and working slaves, beware the Corpser

Papa's Knowledge - He knows how to create the Cold Pop, it could be mankinds salvation

Customer Service - He was a good salesman in his day.

The Undergod Beckons - Praying to the occult - The Undergod gives him faith, and with faith there is corpsing. He often makes his own items, armor and weapons. While crude they get the job done, and they have that feeling - of something watching binded to it.

STARTING EQUIPMENT:

The corpser

Papa Pete's Manager uniform

Old brown cloak

2 weeks food and water

A Compass

A Picture of his family

A skull helmet.

A military looking gasmask with 2 replacement filters (the word FUCK FUCK FUCK is written on the filters).

A Black book.

Name: Biff Hellcat

Relative Age: 43

Gender: Action Star

Physical Description: This man stands at an imposing 5'8, sporting gold-rimmed aviators, slicked back jet black hair, a piping cubano, leather jacket, and jeans. He spews confidence, and he's an unforgettable sight. If anything of the culture can be remembered from the old world, this is its spitting image.

On either side of his jeans, an M9 Beretta in a black leather holster, and engraved in gold on the left pistol, Biff. On the right, Hellcat. Strapped to his back is his legendary 刀 (Katana), the ベビーファッカー (Bebifaka).

The man speaks with a gravelly voice, hardened by years of chain-smoking cigars.

Gas Mask Description: Biff's mask is simple, a white surgical mask.

Job: Biff Hellcat is the most prolific and successful actor of all time. His works spanned the entire world, and his ass-kicking, brown people-blasting adventures are recognized by all.

Personality: Stereotypical 80s action star. He seems to be deluded into thinking his past experiences are reality, and that his skills onscreen have transfered over to the apocalypse.

Story: Biff's early life was nothing out of the ordinary, and completely average. Anyone who hasn't met at least these standards should be considered a failure.

He was born in the middle of the night to a single mother, as his father had been killed the night before while saving the rest of Seal Team Six by laying on top of a nuclear bomb and preventing the blast from killing anyone. Biff drove his mother home, then to Washington D.C. to accept the Medal of Honor on his father's behalf. In the following years, he had been awarded nearly every medal that the US could award aside from the Purple Heart and the Prisoner of War Medal. Then it was time to start kindergarten. Biff was so intelligent that he skipped the entirety of elementary and middle school, getting dropped straight into high school. Within a week, he dominated the big bad bully of the high school using his Krav Maga prowess, and took his girlfriend as a trophy.

After completing high school and getting his PhDs in Quantum Physics, Engineering, and Fine Art, he accidentally walked onto the set of the upcoming film Nightblade Extreme. The director took one look at him and ordered the leading man executed to make room for Biff to take the role. Twenty-six NB:E films later, and Biff is one of the most wealthy and influential pop-culture icons in history, being named Times Magazine's sexiest man in the world 26 years straight. That all changed when the fire nation attacked.

Biff was sent into a bunker alone when the apocalypse began. Time started to eat away at his sanity. He was well-fed and in peak physical condition, but he was starved on the most important thing in the world. Attention. He donned a white surgical mask, making sure to cut a hole in it so that he could fit a cigar through, then pushed open the heavy steel door, embracing the apocalypse.

Strengths/Weaknesses: Biff is the real deal prima donna. He's still in good condition, and he is trained in Krav Maga, firearms, and acting. His mental health, however, is a different story. He's deluded himself into believing that the world is actually one huge movie. As such, he feels little to no fear, and is convinced that his actions do not affect his own well-being.

Philosophy: Kill terrorists, smoke cigars, bang hotties. I'm unstoppable.

Strange Behaviors: Monologues, Aggression, Badass One-Liners.

Favorite Thing: Attention.

Skills:
Plot Armor - Biff believes he is invincible, and the world seems not to disagree, as he's somehow still alive. Mind over matter.
Acting - Biff is constantly acting, so he's pretty good at that.
Krav Maga - Biff was trained by Jewish monks for NB:E 3.
Firearms - Biff is a gun-fu expert. Unfortunately, his guns are almost always loaded with blanks.

STARTING EQUIPMENT:
M9 Beretta x2
Katana
Leather Jacket
Gold-Rimmed Aviators
Seemingly Endless Cigars
Lots o' 9mm Blanks
Surgical Mask

@scifidude47 this looks like an interesting RP. Would a 12-year old kid who is mechanically inclined be okay? I'm thinking he learns how to fix stuff before the apocalypse.

Let me know if that works and I can start on a CS.
