I assume we're supposed to be playing as people who can speak English, and who somehow got themselves to Italy.EDIT: Wait, so you said I'm accepted here, but I'm neither in the list of accepted characters nor the waiting list? I'm... not sure what that's supposed to mean, or whether it's a mistake.

That's strange. Oh I probably lost the post where I added you and din't notice. Opps, will correct that now.

Got my first post up! Aaaand since by 2015 I'd be 28 year old dude and everyone else of opposite gender would be roughly around 16-17, I'm not seeing any relationships for my character in this RP. Because creepy xD

Well they do say that half your age plus 3 should be your minimum age when dating.. I wish you luck though

[Balthazar]

Alright in terms of setting: it' just a name so we know what we're doing when travelling to other towns etc. and so we know whether or not we can use boats, go fishing etc. In terms of the language just pretend this is all translated perfectly from Italian to English. And your house and your real life setting you are accustomed to, copy and paste into this town.

Whats happening now: I haven't read everyone's posts yet in the IC so I'm just going to go on a limb here. A while back a broadcast was transmitted over the radio to meet in the hall. There are about 20 of us. Obviously yourselves, and a few other random people. For the mean time we are waiting for something to happen, then a speech will be delivered. You'll need to give your input and then we high tail out on the conclusion reached from the debate. Remember We all live in Bari and the surrounding areas.

Edit: Oh and in terms of weapons, the past year was not violent except in the first few months. People became very peaceful and helpful, and then there were to few alive for savages to cause any real damage. So for the mean time, weapons exist, but for no really really big reason.

Great introductory posts!
@Namelos-mann if you could please go back and make your a bit longer. Writing a tiny paragraph that only starts on the 1st of December is just not going to cut it, sorry. Maybe another post or two from your thoughts when the meteor hit and sometime mid-2015. I know I'm being a nag, sorry. I just want the amount of self-reflection demanded in this rp and something that we can use to get to know your character.
@Fat Boy, you as well please.

@Bird, I like your backstory.
@gogojakeo
@Deathdaeg I like the references you have to your life. Aww cute doggies!
@AngelNoire I'm so sorry for your loss

Fair enough. The only reason I didn't include more previously was because: a) mine was the 2nd post and I didn't know if you wanted it as long as yours or if you were just providing context; and b) I thought I'd save it for conversation with other players.

Regardless, it shouldn't be a problem :)

[GingerBoi123]

Woops... I may have posted a bit too less as well :s

[Balthazar]

That's ok, at least you k now expectations now. For solitary posts I do expect a lot, for interaction it is difficult to write more. Anyway, let's wait upon everyone else then get right to it. I have the next post ready and waiting so go ahead and interact.. talk (hint!)

Yeah sorry about that I didn't have much time before class I'll go fix it

[gogojakeo]

Just a quick question, what are the rules on swearing?

[Balthazar]

None. As long as you're not one of those few people that don't swear then try to write a character that swears and just ends up looking ridiculous. Or swears over nothing .eg if I said "ends up looking fucking ridiculous"

[Bird]

It's hard for me to write in first person. Lol, after re-reading my post I realized I slipped into third-person a few times. If you guys don't mind, tell me if you catch me doing that so I can fix it.

[Balthazar]

Personally I don't mind what person you write in. Much to my english teacher's hate. Sorry, I am working on a post, it's just taking a while

[Bird]

Hahaha. I started it in third person, but felt like I wouldn't be able to maintain the character that way, since Jean is me. I'll get used to it.

[Mr Nim]

You can take me off the list, it seems like I won't have as much time to join any other roleplays as I initially thought. Sorry.

Sorry to hear that Nim :( however if you do have time and still want to join, let me know and we can include you

Haha, thanks :D They're awesome. Kainde is definitely my dog. I have more pets (rescue as many animals as we can responsibly handle) and I'm actually married IRL, but the thought of losing our cats, birds and my wife is a bit too much for me to contemplate. One of my major fears that I just realised I should add in.

Makes you think, what am I prepared to lose, eh?

[Deathdaeg]

Definitely. Especially when we get calls warning of border jumpers spotted in the area while my wife is out riding. One of the reasons we carry radios everywhere!

[gogojakeo]

It must be fun to ride horses regularly, I've tried horse riding, and quite like it.

If I may, what is this special lady like?

Oh it is only the best sport in the world.. there is nothing quite as satisfying as the companionship you feel and the sense of freedom from being in the saddle. When I ride I feel as if I can conquer the world and nobody can stop me.. it's brilliant.
