Earth's Darkest DaysIntroduction"Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, to the last days of our beloved planet. On your left you shall see the great Alien Lords who required us to deliver a specific amount of people every few weeks, and in return, everyone else under my rule get the perk of staying alive and safe. In the rest of the world, you shall see the fools who think they can fight our great Lords and survive. Both very foolish and deadly, as our Lords have the upper hand on every single aspect. But this has been the daily message for your comfort, and to assure you that I, Chad Rotting, am doing everything in my power to ensure your safety."*The Daily Message that is being heard throughout the Kingdom of Chad Rottings, the ruler on the captured humans who was appointed by the Aliens.*Hello, and let me give you a warm greeting to Earth's Darkest Days!
Here, you will be thrown into an apocolyptic earth, conquered by aliens, and you are one of the brave or foolish people who managed to escape being enslaved and captured by the aliens. You will fight for survival, or try and go around aliens as quietly as you can, but you need to remember one basic thing.No one is ever truly safe.GM Team:
Mr Nim, Red FoxThe Rules
1) No Godmodding. I will not tolerate it in any form.
2) The limitations for a starting character:
A) No one starts with a tank or with an army following them. Everyone will need to earn what they get, if it’s through trade or fighting, but no one gets to start with too much from the very beginning. You need to remember this is an apocalyptic world conquered by aliens who keep separating the humans from each other and capturing them.
B) When it comes to skills, I will ask people to limit their combat skills to 2 as a start. You will always have a chance of learning new skills, but only through IC posts, and at the beginning, the only way will be by learning from each other, and more ways may come later. Just don’t expect that if you do learn a new skill that you will be an expert to it within one post.
3) No matter how good of a shooter or fighter your character may be, most enemies will not be taken down with a single shot (Aliens). As for humans, don’t make your character unbeatable and every NPC they run into a complete loser with a gun aimed at his own head. All chars can be harmed, simple as that.
4) As a beginning, I will only allow people to have 1 char each, but if I see you are active then I will allow you to have more than one. GM’s may have 2 characters as a start, but will also be the ones to mainly control NPC’s, such as the Aliens or random people encountered. From time to time I will give permission to control NPC’s, but be reasonable with their reaction.
5) The GM’s can help in almost any situation, and they were given the status for a reason. If you have any problem with the roleplay you can approach them, and they are the ones who can accept CS’s. If they tell you to do something, they most likely have a good reason for telling you to do so.
6) Character development is quite obviously important, so I will not prevent you from having small plots to your own characters, but when it comes to moving somewhere specific with the entire group, or wanting to go on your own somewhere, you must remember there are risks, as the group may refuse to do so, and going alone anywhere can get you in danger with more ease. Be sure to remember the group you are in is there for a reason.
7) You will be given the option to choose what you wish to have as beginning supplies and weapons (But be wise about what you choose, as we will not give everything at the very start) and you will need to update what your character has whenever something changed (Gained a weapon or ammo, used a bottle of water or a bandage, etc). You will need to make sure that you do not choose to take too much, as I can remind you that carrying a shotgun slows people down more than carrying a pistol, as an example.

HistorySummarized history through a man's Journal:
21/12/2012.
A date so many feared and a lot of people also claimed it was nothing. There were a few meteorite showers around the world on that day, but except for being a fantastic thing to view, there was nothing special about that day. Or so humanity thought.
1/1/2013
Many people were at their home, and some still celebrating the New Year. A lot of people made jokes about what was supposed to be doomsday, but passed like nothing. Most of the people around the world didn’t notice that some people started vanishing.
For the past next few days there was an increase in the number of people vanishing, and the news started to address it. Most people called it “Post Doomsday” as a joke. There was also an increase in people who claimed they saw aliens, but no one believed them. About 2 weeks after the first disappearance, The UN gathered to discuss something only known as “Project Gaia”. This made a lot of people start thinking their own governments have something to do with the disappearances.
25/1/2013
Humanity made first contact with aliens. Or so they thought. They aliens did not say if they come in peace or not, and nor they did give out their name. The only thing the aliens did was to say “Give us the weak, the poor, the elder and the young, and we will make them great”. The governments decided, that because the aliens did not state how many people they wanted, they would each give 1/1000 of their country population. The governments mainly focused on the poor and weak, and about 2 weeks later they delivered the people to the aliens.
12/2/2013
The aliens once again came with the same request. This time the governments stood up to them. The aliens decided to reply to the governments standing up to them by sending in a few ships that started destroying major cities around the world. First was London, then Paris, and followed after it were most of the capitals in Europe. The countries of Europe begged to the other countries to supply the people to the aliens, but the other countries refused.
15/3/2013
The aliens have created their first major base on Earth, and they named it “Beta”. They started sending humans who tried fighting against them in there, and the humans who cooperated with them they sent into their spaceships. Many humans started creating small bases scattered all around the world, But the aliens tried to find those bases as well. Hunters began to appear as well. The aliens also took one of the humans, Chad Rotting, and made him in charge of sending humans to them. He tried getting the population of Earth to cooperate with him, but most of it refused.
3/4/2013
Today. The aliens found the base I was in and now we have to evacuate. I can’t be sure if I will ever manage to write again in this old journal, but if someone else finds it, let there be known that I, Davis Goligon, have fought to my death. And if I’m alive and you are reading this, you better have a god-damned reason for doing so.
