[18+] it was the best of times; it was the worst of times; it was the end of times

ABOUT ME:

• my name is paige. hi.
• i am 22 & in school full-time with work part-time so i'll be online once a day at best. please be patient; it may take a few days to a week to get back to you.
• i prefer QUALITY OVER QUANITY. i can write anywhere from 3 sentences to 10 paragraphs, depending on the context. dialogue-heavy scenes may only require a sentence or two response. i like to think of roleplaying as co-writing: think of a novel. in scenes where two characters are speaking, there are rarely pages of description between each line. it should flow naturally; it should not feel forced. basically, as long as you give me something to reply to, i'll be happy and i will try to do the same for you.
• i play primarily female & nonbinary characters. a list of available characters is in a spoiler below. however, i'm not bothered about whom you play!
• this is tagged 18+ for ADULT CONTENT, including but not limited to: sex, violence, gore, language, horror. i do not fade to black, but full explicit detail isn't always necessary (although it is acceptable and/or may be encouraged in some instances! tell me what you're comfortable with).
• i'd also like to mention that sex ≠ romance (although romance may be encouraged).
• i do use capitalization and grammar and no textspeak in roleplay, lol. i'm much more casual ooc. lmao.

ABOUT THE ROLEPLAY:

• genre: apocalyptic / post-apocalyptic
• i am interested in world-building!
• i don't have any specific plots in mind, but i am happy to brainstorm with you.
• i want this to be a story we build together and i want it to be something we're both invested in. please share your thoughts, ideas, opinions, comments, critique! i want to hear what you have to say! i don't want to do all the heavy lifting. if your answer to everything is "idk" or "idc" or "either one is fine" or any other non-answers, i'm going to get bored very quickly.
• i would prefer this to take place over discord, but PMs are fine if you don't have one.

BELOW IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER ABOUT THE APOCALYPSE

• what is the Event? what caused this downfall? { NO ZOMBIES! }
  
  • natural disaster { devastating heatwave, hurricane/storm, rising waters, astroids, etc }
  • economic collapse { Great Depression-esque x100, government collapse, anarchist overthrow, etc }
  • post-war fallout { nuclear, genocide, biowarfare, etc }
  • disease
  • otherworldly { post alien invasion, etc }
  • make a suggestion!
• at what point does the story start?
  
  • at the very beginning of the Event?
  • in the middle of the Event?
  • just after the Event?
  • many years/decades/centuries after the Event?
• how many survivors are there?
  
  • the Lonely Few { only a handful scattered throughout, e.g. Stephen King's The Stand }
  • the Last Ones Standing { only a handful condensed in one specific location or area, e.g. shelter/bunker/safehouse }
  • the Final 25% { a moderate amount/a quarter/up to half of the population remains, e.g. Fallout }
  • What Do We Do Now? { 50% or more of the population survived the Event but their way of living as been uprooted, e.g. similar to H. G. Wells The War of the Worlds }
• what is civilization like?
  
  • mostly civilized { fortified towns/cities, a system of law & order, some form of government/hierarchy/authority }
  • somewhat civilized { some organized settlements that have some semblance of law, but lots of Wasteland and/or anarchy }
  • uncivilized { everyone out for the themselves, gangs/raiders, mostly limited to small groups of survivors with no real system of law in place }
• are there any "factions", cliques, groups, and/or notable figures? if so, how do they interact with each other and the general population?
• what level of technology are the general population working with?
  
  • futuristic, cyberpunk { automation, androids, computers, advanced weaponry }
  • modern { electricity, plentiful firearms, modern luxuries like microwaves and phone lines }
  • limited modern { limited electricity to larger settlements, small firearms, reliant on generators and radios }
  • back to the basics { bows, knives, reliant on fires to cook, long-distance communication is next to impossible, survival of the fittest }
  • a mix of any of the above!
• what setting does the story take place in?
  
  • hyper-urban { new york city, philadelphia, los angeles, etc } - places with a current population of 1mil+
  • moderate urban { washington d.c., portland, boston, etc } - current population of 200k - 1mil
  • semi-urban { santa fe, etc } - current population of 50k - 200k
  • big town - current population of 15k - 50k
  • small town - current population of 5k - 15k
  • semi-rural - current population of 1k - 5k
  • super rural - nearest neighbor is a mile away, farmland, etc
