Sorry, I changed my mind, ignore this.
I'm also interested. Quick question which is actually important to me - is Firenze teaching?
Tentatively in as a goat. I'll fill out a character sheet if this gets going.

Is this supposed to have steampunk elements to it, or is that just a rough measure of their technological prowess?
This is sort of addressed at everyone. I'm not sure how realistic it is that people could rely on scavenging cans of food for 11 years, since that is going to be everyone's first idea. These supplies aren't going to replenish themselves, so these people will have turned to non-industrialized-society forms of obtaining food long ago, like hunting animals, scavenging for edible plants, farming, carefully managing livestock, or things along those lines.

Basically, I'm saying that there won't be any canned beans or loaves of bread unless there is someone that is intentionally making those items, because this stuff will have run out long ago. MAYBE you could pull it off if you were the sole survivor of a place like Bergen, Norway, but it still seems like a stretch to me.

I'm totally interested as long as it stays relatively within the terms of Skyrim (the only Elder Scrolls game I've played).


Also, this. I'm not confident I can write about the countries outside of Skyrim, so let's not go there please!

*How did she survive with no combat skills when the raiders came? It's been eleven years since the outbreak, surely she would have gained some combat experience. Even with another person there would have been several individuals with weapons ** She wouldn't know about mr. pink's character since he was in Russia at the time, if you were saying this from an out of universe perspective then just change it to "managed to avoid the blight that killed off other farmers."


1. In my first post it will show that she almost starved to death when raiders came because she had to hide for days. You could be right that she would have developed some kind of combat skills, though. I'll reconsider.

2. She doesn't know about mr. pink's character, that was an out of universe comment just to not make her story clash with his.
Name: Nefyn (has taken name of the town where she grew up and that she believes to be the sole survivor of)
Age: 24

Appearance: Scrawny young woman with thin brown hair, mouselike facial features and expressions (in a realistic sense; some people are described like that)
Previous Occupation: Was a preteen before apocalypse, obviously, so no job
Nationality: Nefyn, Wales

Personality: Was timid as a preteen before apocalypse, has grown more confident as she lives on while others haven't, but still has an intense fear for armed men that have come to raid her camp in the past. Has an extremely strong resolve which will become apparent as we get going.
Skills: Grew up in a farming community and has knowledge of how to grow crops and raise sheep.
Weapons/Items: Shovel, sheep shears, also a rifle with a bayonet attached used for stabbing (even though there are no bullets for the rifle, I feel like this is the most realistic melee weapon she will have encountered. Only has a few kills, but plenty of practice with Maarad.

Bio: When the apocalypse first struck, she knew the only way to survive would be to isolate herself, so she made a run for it from her home town, which was being ravaged by the disease. Knowing that in the 5th century, the Welsh people survived the Anglo-Saxon invasion by holing up in the mountains, she made her way to Snowdonia National Park, where she encountered a male Lebanese immigrant, who took pity on her. She managed to convince him that their only hope for survival was to start growing food in a protected and isolated mountain valley, so they attempt to grow peas and potatoes in a hill farm (that actually exists, I have it marked on Google Earth for reference) on the side of the mountain Yr Aran. After a few incidents of near-starvation due to a lack of real farming experience, they manage to establish a good enough food supply after two years that they expand into sheep to raise for milk and meat. Aside from a few incidents involving people coming to raid them, Nefyn and Maarad have been largely isolated from everything that has happened since the apocalypse struck, and their crops and livestock have fortunately managed to avoid the blight that killed off Mr_pink's character's farm due to the isolation of Snowdonia (But that will obviously change soon in order to have a plot happen...)

Other: Her partner on the farm is a Lebanese immigrant going only by the name Maarad, who is ten years older than her. He may have a short life span, so I'll spare you from another bio.

Good enough?
I'm up for this if you're still accepting people. Also, if anyone is interested in starting out in Wales I'm willing to pair up with you for our journey to safety.

EDIT: My mind is running wild with this; can't wait!
Been looking for something like this. I'm definitely up for a sandboxy adventure!
