The year is 1954 and you are one of the 1% that isn’t dead or a Chimera. It has been a year since the Chimera species took over the last remaining nation on Earth. The system is dead, the government is dead, the people you know are either dead or dying and as you look upon the once lively land of opportunity, you see a world fully of desolation and death. This world now belongs to the Chimera and you are a mere survivor trying to avoid the clutches of the Chimeran patrols. Welcome, to America. Population: dead or dying.
This is an RP based in the Sci-fi survival horror/shooter video game franchise Resistance. It is set after the events of Resistance 2 and before the events of Resistance 3. It is about a large group of people who are trying to survive in this world by living underground in the city of Charlotte in North Carolina. Things have been going steady since the downfall of man but things start to get worse when the Chimeran virus finally hits them. The Chimeran virus is an alien virus created by the Chimera to turn you into one of them. Fortunately, a vaccine was created by Dr Malikov in 1953 for the rest of the survivors in America but some never got the shipments due to a variety of factors. Unfortunately, the surviving community of Charlotte, North Carolina never got a shipment and they have done their best avoiding Chimera over the past year but not everything lasts forever and they are starting to show very early symptoms. There are rumours of an unused batch in a laboratory in Dallas, Texas. The rumours continue to explain that it is sealed in a vault and that is why it has never been untouched. A small group of people volunteer to take the risk and go to Dallas for the vaccine. It is a long and perilous journey filled with dangers from the Chimera, both feral and military, and the other desperate survivors. Do you have what it takes to survive in this god-forsaken land?
I have always loved the setting of the Resistance series and I thought it would be cool to create an RP for it. If you have never played the Resistance trilogy, then it is pretty simple. It is about an alien species that comes to earth by a meteor in the 1920s and they brought with them a virus that can convert humans into the Chimeran alien species themselves. They also have an amazing ability to produce amazing technology, from weapons to towers to spaceships, within a very short period of time. The world over the following decades got overwhelmed by the Chimera. One by one, the countries fell. With the Chimera ruling earth, some of the Chimera left the organized ranks and became feral creatures that live in the wilderness. The feral creatures and the military ones do not get along. This is just a basic gist of what the Resistance plotline is. If you want to know more, I have posted links to specific pages of the Resistance Wiki. Or you can play the games yourself. They are very fun :).
By the way, you do not have to be part of the group that leaves Charlotte; you can easily be a survivor that meets the group while they are on their journey. With enough interest, I’ll have an OP set up. Until then if you have any questions about the RP storyline or about Resistance in general, do not hesitate to ask. :)
