-=When the seeds of [Hope] blossom in the fertilizer of the [Flesh], the world will [Rise]=-


Fire washes the Skin from the Bone and the Sin from the Soul, and my momma didn’t raise no Dirty boy

Congratulations! You have survived the worst of times whence you had once lived at the best of times.



“All is as if the world did cease to exist. The city's monuments go unseen, its past unheard, and its culture slowly fading in the dismal sea.” Nathan Maher


You now understand the rapid growth of science was inevitably going too far past the capacity of your ancestor's moral base. You can also claim you are far more versed in killing diseased homo-sapiens than any generation before you.

Diseased homo-sapiens? Oh, I meant zombies, the one saving grace to your gory lifesty-- What do you mean;
"I never asked for this"?
Bull. Shit. You love smashing heads in, and we all know it.



“Apocalypse is a frame of mind. A belief. A surrender to inevitability. It is a despair for the future. It is the death of hope.”
-Jim Butcher


Well anyway, your golden days of zombie massacre are over, you have evolved to survive in this disheveled world but you look towards the massive towers of bent steel and broken glass and you know that glorious days are to come. The zombie threat is no longer urgent, there are only so many brains to poke holes in. No, your generation has turned their sites to infrastructure and the glorious days of the past.

Not that past, the past before that past.
Yea, the one where your ancestors were creating teleportation prototypes and shit.

I really don't care how stupid you are, you're making me a god damn potato blender. Wait...is that a thing?

Fine, fine. I do expect great things from your bunch, the generations before you didn't pass down modern knowledge just so you could forget it.
Now away with you! You have many things to do to return Earth to its once glorious splendor.



“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.”
-Robert Frost


-=Premise=-
This is a futuristic take on the common idea of the Zombie Apocalypse, though it's more of a Post-Zombie Apocalypse. The ancient days were the days before the Zombie virus infected a majority of the human population. There are still plenty of zombies, but they aren't quite as threatening, individually.

-={You}=-

(You can pick and choose what you look like and what your armor will be. Some examples.)


Named “Defaecos”, you are the zombie killer, the soldier, the enforcer, and the leader. As a Defaeco, you are one of the few in the world capable of using armor and weapons of ancient times, now referred to as Artifacts. Defaecos are ranked by class. A "Class A" Defaeco would be able to use just about any Artifact they wish, a "Class E" Defaeco would be limited to more basic weapons and armor, though still extremely effective compared to the newly made make-shift weapons that barely surpass the 17th century.
[Note: You can also take on a normal survivor though you'll be at a bit more of a disadvantage as you will not be able to arm yourself with Artifacts]


-=Artifacts=-

Artifacts are family heirlooms handed down from generation to generation. The DNA restricted weapons require military heritage from ancient times. Selective breeding is an increasingly common practice as if the militaristic blood becomes too subdued, your children may not be able to use the Artifacts you so carefully covet. Different Artifacts are at different tiers, ranked in efficiency in killing. A basic suit of armor or rail-gun will likely be usable by any soldier DNA saved in the weapon's database, whereas a prototype Gauss rifle might require a higher ranking or classification.

Armed with an Artifact you reach a new level of ascension. Sure, getting stabbed in the gut or having your shoulder torn away by worn away gums will still mess you up, but you can also become a literal killing machine, if you're guard doesn't go down, you are the most powerful entity on the world, that is, besides other Defaecos. Oh yeah, that's a problem too. Defaecos are the bargaining chip, the measurement system for power, the definition of civilization currency. Where there is a concentration of Defaecos, there is a concentration of civilization, which also means there'll be plenty of fighting.

Most tech in the RP will be fairly futuristic, such as exoskeleton armors and magnetic weapons such as a Gauss rifle. The power of the tech is in wide variety. The Artifacts will be low consumption killing machines as well as certain recovered/modified lifestyle materials, such as cars, lifts, and water purifiers. Most things that have lasted 100 years are in very rough shape and new items for survival created from the rubble are both rugged and widely primitive.

-=Factions=-

There are two large factions warring in the Southeastern region of China:




-=What do?=-
You can practically do anything to build yourself up as well as the community you are apart of. You can join one of the factions, you can lone-wolf it, or you can create your own little faction (Try to be logical with it). The goal for characters is to live out lives individually with their own goals and aspirations. Where they treat zombies as insects (unless they get into tight situations) and can rebuild what was once a glorious civilization, now shrouded in mystery and tall-tales. In a world where the sun begins to shine and the eyes turn towards the tips of the overgrown monuments to ancient society, what will you do?
Elaboration will occur in OOC, that being said, who’s in?

I'm interested. I like the setting you've built. I am curious about the zombies, has there been a cure for the virus or are you doomed once infected also how does it spread. I'll start my CS once I get a few more details on how the world operates.

It's definitely interesting. I'm a tad concerned about the applications of these "artifacts" and their power in relation to everything else, but that's not a huge issue.

Excuse my extremely late reply, I had a bit going on IRL, but I'll try not to lose too much time.
As for the zombies. There's a supposed cure, though it annihilates the viral infection, overall the body will take years to heal and even then it will be covered in scar tissue as the decayed flesh falls off like rags, The more quickly one is cured the better, and if they are too decayed they will die when cured. Spreading is fairly traditional, as with most zombie scenarios it is transferred via blood-borne virus, orthodox methods of spreading would be biting.

Artifacts. This is fairly flexible RP at this point as it is still at the Interest Check stage, so it's best that you speak up now or forever hold your peace. Artifacts themselves are simply either advanced armor or weapons. It makes the user no more powerful, but it gives them the ability to be just that much more effective at killing people. I plan on making it not super OP but I can certainly cater the attributes of the Artifacts to the people participating.

Sounds solid to me. I have enough faith in you as to not stress over these things. So long as our characters aren't gods among men on account of weaponry, I'm good.

Cool, so it is a bit difficult for me to remember to check in with school going on and all that fun stuff but I plan to have the OOC up fairly soon, so hopefully i didn't lose too many people in that wait but I'll be keeping it open in the OOC as well so hopefully we'll pick up a couple more in there.
