I want to do a roleplay based on the book series GONE by Michael Grant.

Not an exact replica, there are a few details I would particularly like to tweak, such as no powers, but this is completely up for discussion. I particularly like the idea of isolating a population of teenagers from adults and letting the ensuing chaos happen. Kind of torn between starting the roleplay at the moment (or just before) the incident happens, or if we should start it a significant time into the event.

Obviously this is going to be violent (Grant done very well depicting this), strong language (don't tell me teenagers don't swear heavily), probably some sexual references (like a PG-13 tops, take it to the PMs otherwise) and some seriously disturbing images (hopefully, I like to shock people).

My basic idea is that we have 3 sets of groups, the republican team, the totalitarian state, and the savage raider clan. All three are at war, but the raiders are the biggest threat. They are insane (imagine the tale about the Reavers from Firefly and Serenity, realised they are totally alone and never getting rescued and their minds broke), and willing to do anything. As tensions increase between the three factions, what will happen; will a truce be brokered or will an all-out civil war emerge to decimate the remaining souls? Will a hero arise to save everyone, will common sense prevail, or will ashes feed the trees and bones feed the dogs?

Any ideas, tips, whatever, let me know.

Oh, for those who aren't familiar with GONE, it's premise is that a giant dome traps a beach town and anyone over the age of 15 is transported outside of the dome, whilst some of the kids begin to develop supernatural powers, such as telekinesis, super speed, anti-gravity etc. . The kids inside try and survive until the dome disappears. For this roleplay, I think I'll bump the transportation age up to 18 though, and remove/limit the powers.

@ShuffleCat Great! It's actually quite a good series, doesn't take long to get through.

@GreenGrenade Good stuff! I do too, the premise of the novels were probably one of my favourites, so this excites me.

Hey guys, just a heads up that next week from Monday the 8th I'll be away for five days on a hiking camp with my school. We'll be completely out of touch from any technology, so I won't be able to work on a CS at all. So because of this, I'd just like to know that if this generates enough interest, if I can reserve a spot, because I'm really excited for this.

Cheers,
GG

No problem buddy. If we get enough people (I think 6 will be good), I'll reserve you a spot. Thanks for letting me know just in case.
