[OOC] The Day the Earth Fell |Reboot| Welcome to Paradise

"Would you like to hear a story children? About the fall of our governments, our civilizations, and finally our Earth?

Well you see, it started over hundreds of years ago when the great men who led the past nations wanted to play 'Who's got the biggest cock?' It started as bluffs, men threatening others with their nuclear warheads. Then the day came when the bluffing stopped. It is said from stories passed down that it didn't take long. It was over in a matter of hours. As soon as one missile was launched, all the others played follow the leader. Everybody wanted to create great pain on others, for they knew that their people would feel it. No man should have had that much power in their hands. Our fate was sealed that day, thanks to a handful of men on a power trip. Reactors exploded, the bombs took out many cities and great populations. A good portion of life was wiped out in almost one day.  levels spiked, choking out life and hopes of new life.

Many, many years had passed after the warheads had been fired. Unfortunately, the Earth was not getting better. The Earth was sick it seemed, rotting away on the inside. Wildlife withered, water evaporated, life itself was slowly slipping away. It was during this time that the first generation of  were born. Humans, with fascinating abilities and powers that none thought were possible. However, it was a single Blessed One that seemed to give hope to others. They called her ; you see, her power was the ability to pull water from midair. She was known far and wide and many flocked to her, asking for her help. She always willingly helped others, never questioning.

This was the time that the  was created. It was a great fortress built to house people and provide them with the needs of life. It also came in handy as a means of protection when  began to arrive. Men, women, and children alike were beginning to arise from their graves and were on a hunt for the flesh of the living. They were slow, dumb creatures that ran on the most simple of instincts. To feed. The Blessed Ones and human warriors alike fought bravely against every wave of Dead that came their way. Always thriving, fighting to continue on living.

Our current Mother, , has been to hell and back for the safety of our Lands. Her and the warriors who protect us have faced death numerous times. These past five years for us have not been easy. We’ve lost loved ones and we’ve had to rebuild the walls that have protected us for hundreds of years. However, don’t let the blood that’s spilt on our grounds these past few years scare you. The Paradise Lands have stood for hundreds upon hundreds of years. They will continue to stand. Our history and our future have been carved in stone, much like the great walls that surround us and fortify our city. No matter what force may come knocking at the metal doors of our Lands, our warriors and whatever Mother we have will always face it with no fear in their eyes. Humans and Blessed Ones alike will fight to keep our Lands in Paradise. Be proud of your history children, for you are our future.”
LIST OF PLAYABLE ROLES

Blessed One
You are a human blessed with a special gift, a power that could be virtually anything. Your powers are a sign of wonder, amazement, and mystery. After the catastrophic radiation destroyed most of the world, it is theorized that this same radiation also changed the DNA of some individuals, granting them extraordinary abilities. Mother cherishes her Blessed Ones dearly and they are often her closet comrades in times of conflict. With power comes great responsibility and you, as a Blessed One, are the strongest weapon The Paradise Lands has to offer.

Metahuman
A term coined by Cypher Vale during his reign over his nomadic zealot community, this is the same as a Blessed One, except this is the general term referred to people with powers who do not reside or come from The Paradise Lands. Other than affiliation, there are no difference between Metahumans and Blessed Ones. 

Warrior
Proud citizens of The Paradise Lands who willingly take up arms in order to protect their home from any that may try and harm it. Though they lack a special ability, they more than make up for it with their combat prowess and capabilities. Warriors are remarkable fighters and have extensive training in their particular field of battle. They are generally more skilled with their weapons. 

Civilian
You are a human with no special powers and your combat prowess is little to non-existent. You are a resident of Paradise Lands, relying on their protection and skill to keep you safe from any harm that lies out beyond the walls. Though you may not be useful in battle, you may be skilled in other ways. Or not. 

Human
Same as civilian, except you are NOT a resident of Paradise Lands. However, you may be from other communities, but you would still go by this term. 

Harpy
You are a majestic and mystical species of human, born with magnificent large wings on your back that allow you fly at high altitudes. Though your wings may seem fragile, they are incredibly powerful and strong. Originally only a trio of sisters, harpies are the result of an extremely rare mutation. It is unknown how many harpies there are in the world, but a small few reside in The Paradise Lands. Not only are they capable warriors, but they also are the main form of aerial reconnaissance for The Paradise Land. They see incoming danger before anyone else does. 

Half-Dead
Often discriminated against and disliked, Half-Dead are dead humans. However, after shortly coming back from the grave, they retain their memories, emotions, normal motor functions, and speech. Half-Dead, as they are still technically dead, are virtually undying unless their brain is destroyed. They do not feel pain and The Dead do not attack them. Though they do not need to eat, Half-Dead have to deal with a constant hunger to consume human flesh, something they have to resist everyday. Half-Dead are a relatively new mutation. A VERY EXTEMELY small few reside in The Paradise Lands due to the nature of their existence. It is unknown how many or how often Half-Dead occur, but there is a small community of Half-Dead who live in solitary not to far from The Paradise Lands.

LIST OF MAJOR LOCATIONS

The Paradise Land

The Paradise Land is a city surrounded by a large metal fortress. Thanks to the efforts of The Mother of Water and her devoted followers many many years ago, they built this massive fortress to house people and to provide them with a safe place to live. There is one gate, guarded by a Gatekeeper. One way in and one way out. The Paradise Land and its inhabitants have been through hell and back. But this fighting spirit to live and survive is what has made PL so prolific. 

The Red Waste

Encompassing 60% of the earth's land, the nuclear catastrophe and ensuing radiation decimated more than half of the worlds natural forest, wildlife, and resources. Now, the majority of the world is a landscape of sand, dust, debris, and bones. Though forest and wildlife still exist, they are heavily sporadic. Though there is a forest several miles out from The Paradise Land. Most major water resources are contaminated and irradiated, but can be purified through proper treatment. 

Dead Town

Unofficially referred to as 'Dead Town' by the citizens of The Paradise Land, it is a very small and relatively new settlement not too far from it. Most everyone is leery of their existence and rarely venture to the town, whose settlement sits on an abundant ore mine. What makes this settlement so eerie is that it's residents are composed completely of Half-Dead. Most Half-Dead are not trusted and there have been several occasions where the Dead-Town residents have been harassed and attacked for their ore mine and for being who they are. There is only one thing worse than The Dead...Half-Dead.   

New Arabia 

This two-walled fortress was created by Isam Hajjar and his Arab refugees, former residents of The Paradise Land who had a small section of the city allotted for themselves. Shortly after the battle 5 years ago, Isam became their official leader and they migrated to this degenerate fortress and restored it. Construction on a third wall is currently underway, but due to their lack of iron ore, production has been slowing to a crawl. New Arabia is on good terms with The Paradise Land, and they often lend each other a hand in times of need.  

Refugee Compound

Sitting close to The Paradise Land, this small refugee camp was created in order to house runaways, refugees, and individuals who needed shelter. It is used to not only provide protection to those in need, but it is also used as a trial run to see if they are safe and eligible to integrate into The Paradise Land society. So with this compound, they can essentially provide shelter without putting themselves at risk.  

Third Group (N'N'N; The New Neo-Nazi Movement)
Despite Sasha(a man who defected from this group) now residing in The Paradise Land as one of its residents, there is still little to no sufficient information on who they are, what they want, or their current whereabouts. But if they are willing to put the lives of children at risk in order to better their own endeavors, they are clearly up to no good.

Sorry about the forest thing Rose. I just remembered in the original RP, Cypher's Zealots resided near or in a Forest if I remember correctly, so I thought I would make a small mention of that Forest. I can take it out if u want! 
@VioletRose

@AeonSpiral
Also, there is no list of abilities/powers of Undead. They are technically still dead so the only special things about them are as follows

-They do not need to eat or drink, though doing so does help keep their bodies from decaying like a normal Dead body does. However some Half-Dead already show minor or heavy signs of decay to varying degrees(peeling skin, dilated white lifeless eyes, etc.)
-They do not feel pain. 
-They cannot die unless their brain is destroyed. 
-They are not attacked by The Dead. 

Thats all their special traits. They don't have special superpowers like Blessed Ones and Metahumans. And when you say Undead, you are referring to Half-Dead right?
