@Deaddlifeif 99% died today there would be 70 million people, this world had just entered the renaissance, and if we're going by our population at the renaissance, then 99% dead would put as at 300,000 living people- an extremely low number. And yes, I think I will implement a 'Guide to the wildlife- The flora and fauna of New Eren' where we collectively write about local nature around our tribes.
@6slyboy6@Deaddlife Well, I sort of mentioned this, maybe not clear enough though: Plants and wildlife as we know them are gone, though there are pockets of distantly modified versions of plants and animals, like the humans were changed. Maybe we should work together to create a wildlife database? Each of us adding our own local plants and animals? I dunno, thoughts? Your next question: It is a few years, enough for your people to find each other and get settled, after the apocalypse. Although there are no people left that remember the Old Age, for it was many generations ago, this new stone age has been in progress for a generation or two.
@LHG100@Nytefall I meant water was taken from the ocean on the floating city, then sent up via shuttle to the moon. I had the idea of mining for water on the moon, but I wasn't completely sure of the water there. I guess a google search could've helped on that front. Oh well, maybe in a few of my first turns Luna can be self-sustained by mining water. (Although they had been planning a ship that would be sent out and return with ice from Saturn over some 7 years)
@Deaddlife Very nice! I like your race being well thought out. I can elaborate more with the population. Your race sheet is very good, but please elaborate more with your nation sheet. I am updating the NS to help explain this too, but here are some suggestions for you: Organization: Everyone is a tribe, explain how your tribe is led, i.e: Is there a chief who distinguished in battle leading, or is there a religious leader who doubles as tribe leader, etc. Religion: Your pretty good on this one, just explain which gods your religion has and what they could do. Housing: Really, this is optional, but maybe explain how the treehouses are built, how high off the ground are they? Again, this one is optional.
Location: The Twin Cities of Hulton and Kyrad on Kyrad Island(I'm assuming this is a fictional setting.)
Name: The Republic of Kyrad
Government: Currently an official government is in place with Presidents elected every year, with no term limit.
Population: about 700 in each city, so a total population of around 1400
Agriculture: Water is not hard to get on an island, and can easily be purified. Farming, though, was not big on the small island. Hulton contained more farms than Kyrad, but until a large amount of farms are set up all around the island food is brought in mainly by ferry. A squad will sail to the mainland and steal food from abandoned farms or stores.
Army: Kyrad (The colony not city) has only a small militia (Around 200 men) for riot control, although the majority of the population are former gang members and the entire population could be mobilized if someone was invading.
Firepower: The militia has rifles and little armor. Grenades are also standard, although in low supply. Most civilians do own handguns, though, also because of their gang member background.
Technology: There were 2 solar plants before the war, one inoperable now. The residents have managed to hook up the remaining plant to a makeshift power grid that is mostly unstable. On cloudy days, electricity might cut out at around 1:00 AM until the sun rises again. Internet is not like we know, theirs is more of a local internet. Only people who live on the island can use it.
Transportation: Because of the urbanization of the Kyrad island, cars mostly were shipped out a while ago, people being content to walk places or take a 5 min bike ride to the other city.
Other supplies: Ammo is scarce now, the only new ammo coming in the nightly ferries that also bring food. But the thing that makes Kyrad special is that it was a large navy port with many military ships before the war. While gas may be expensive (Having to trade to get it from other colonies) Kyrad has managed to form a makeshift blockade along the coast, taking a tax if anyone from the rest of the world tries to get in, or if someone tries to get out.
Lifestyle: The best way to describe the life of a Kyrader: Thug-Life. The people left in the cities are mean to outsiders and seem to use so much slang it seems like their own language.
History of you colony: Riots were commonplace in the two cities before the war. Rival gang wars happened every other month. But as soon as the government collapsed, things got serious. Rival gang made peace and united to take over public utilities. Their goal: Independence. The Kyraders had developed their own culture compared to the mainland country. They practically had their own language. Their first target was the naval base. With no one guiding them, the Navy put up little fight against the large mob. They commandeered the Navy boats and formed a blockade around their own island first, so no reinforcements could arrive. Next they moved in and overthrew the local authority, installing an ad interim government for the time being. Eventually they evolved their political system to the current state. Unfortunately, after things had settled down on the island, some gangs split off from the government and started waging war to install themselves as a militaristic dictator. This is when the Militia was formed and a year long war was spent fighting it what was essentially a glorified gang war. This war was known as the 'Kyrad Civil War', splitting the island in two, the government taking the side of Kyrad, while the rebels took over Hulton. In the end, the government won. But the Kyrader's rebellious nature will not stay in check forever.
I've been looking at this, and I think I'll join. I'll probably be somewhere in the north, wanting to be annexed by northland believing they are much better than Gray's ruling
(Disclaimer: This is heavily influenced by an idea my friend and I had on another forum that never really got off the ground)
Long ago the planet of Eren flourished with great kingdoms and empires. Man had conquered the world and entered the renaissance era much earlier than our own history. Great minds made new inventions daily, pushing mankind's golden age further than anyone could ever imagine. Then, as if the planet took this as an insult, the Great Plague started. The Great Plague demolished this world's hopes. It spread through the nations like an invisible wildfire leaving a wake of destruction and death- Although leaving a wake implies the Great Plague had moved on, which it hadn't. The Great Plague had stayed, clinging to the land itself like a tick. It killed Humans, animals, plants, even the land itself seemed to be corrupted by this great evil. While humanity did not completely die out during this Great Plague, living during this era was like being tortured in hell. The Great Plague was so ravenous, if you were unlucky enough to not die immediately, you genes and DNA would be forever altered by the Great Plague. No one really knows how long the Great Plague lasted, only that it had lasted a very long time. There were no records or any civilization during the Great Plague, and the records of old kingdoms seemed to die as well, leaving mankind to start from scratch. Eventually the plague did die down, leaving as suddenly as it appeared. The remaining living things were alien compared to before- Including now many different races of humans, no actual humans left. Also new and sparse wildlife, plants and animals. What will happen in this new and threatening world? What civilizations will rise from the dust? And the biggest question- Will the Great Plague return?
Hello! Welcome to After The Plague, a NRP about many devastated new races of humans and their rise in the stone age. If you are interested, please say so. I am also looking for a co-GM, so if you have experience, tell me! Here is a rough draft of the NS, subject to change: Name (of country): Race (Just name here, race form below): Population (There was just a massive dying and it's the stone age now... think small, max about 1,000): Organization (How is your tribe led? Is there a religious leader, war chief, etc.): History (We start the RP a few years after the plague, so how did your people find and group together?): Religion (who your people follow, and gods may help in game occasionally. Explain the god(s) they beleive in): Shelter (Do your people live in treehouses? Caves? Tepees? etc.): Location (You may begin as a nomadic group, but eventually settle down): (Map will come later) Wildlife/Geography (What kind of nature do your people live in/around?):
Race Sheet: Name: Changes (How did the plague change your race from being human?): Appearance: Advantages (If it is magic that is the only advantage you may have): Disadvantages (Must be twice as many as advantages, you were created by a force of evil and death, after all): Lifecycle (How old do they get?/ Anything special?):
Guide to the wildlife- The flora and fauna of New Eren: Humans were not the only lives changed during the plague, plants and animals were also affected and changed in big way. This is an optional community 'journal' where flora and fauna around your tribe could be added, so we can get an understanding of this crazy new world. All you have to do is at the end of you App, write 'Guide Entries' and under write the name of the plant/animal in bold, then give a description. You may write as much or little as you want, and I will add it here.
