Tour Guide

Many of you have already figured out the Character Sheets I require and already posted them in the interest check; some have even figured out the Discord Links and I thank you one and allRules[1:] I am thy Goddess and Creator; meaning I created this strange world and therefore control all the laws of reality, physics, and flavors of Ice Cream.
[2:] This is not a Democracy I am the Dictator as stated above but Benevolent meaning I like my people happy. But like most of my kind I will only tolerate so much decent; "It makes my other subjects unhappy and remember I like happy people.
[2B:] I do like to listen to your ideas and problems because Ideas make me think and your problems make you sad (see above why I don't like sad people)
[3:] You do have a lot of control in many areas like what is in the stores (except guns and the cars are electric but can if you like look like a Ford Alpha Boxer Spider if there are such cars); your favorite foods are fresh, bed linen the finest you can imagine, latest fashions, you get the picture. "Why did I do this?" well it's all just material things and this story is more about you as people and how you deal with your gilded cage.
[4:] Romance is okay just keep your naughty bits covered unless you get a room; "Some us might get jealous"
[5:] All Characters are between 16 and 22; no kids allowed and old people are a pain
[6:] Six...six...6...6..6.. Oh right this is less a rule than a guideline; If you want to be a Kung Fu God, the greatest young guitar player fine but as for the fighting types I control the NPCs and decide if they want to fight or you are just a bully in which case I my ask you to leave or make a knuckle dragging set of triplets that use you as a volleyball. The Guitar is okay but remember that annoying guy in Animal house.

Description, Write a Novel of your character’s daring deeds, flights of fancy if you like or a description of height or weight.
That’s it, sorry to be so demanding
And yes I know I am repeating myself here but as we all know and might have done some enter through the active RP thread so this is for them.
Set Up
The characters will begin spread out in a large city waking in their own beds, in their own bedrooms, in their house, apartment, or Cardboard box. The First thing people notice is that it is so quiet it’s creepy. Step outside and you notice the air even smells different; cleaner as in freaky clean.
There is no street traffic and if you have a car it smells new car clean when you open the door.
Move 3 blocks from your home and it all gets really strange; there are stores that were once several miles away and if you lived in the country then it noticeable right away because there are buildings across the forest or fields where there were none before.
Next are the streets and everywhere around you, they are clean of trash, the grass mowed, bushes trimmed, leaves raked, the landscaping is perfect everywhere and strangest of all perhaps are those areas near your home that had memorable Graffitti it is still there.
The buildings are empty of people, pets and even furniture; there aren’t even cars on the streets or in the parking spaces but look for a dealership and there it is and it even has a moderate number of cars waiting to be sold. The same can be said of a river that winds its way through the town where marina have only boats near the dealerships. (Nothing larger than a 60 footer)
Then there are the stores filled with food, clothing, furniture and electronics; and yes there is still an operating internet and that again is empty of activity. Goggle, Bing or what have you still gives the answers to questions like it did back home but no answers to what the hell or where the hell you are. I leave it up to the players to decide if they and another player meet in a chat, forum or other social site.
Then perhaps after a bit the clouds clear and you see what must be a mirage because instead of the horizon curving down and away it curve up giving you the sensation of being in a bowl; a huge bowl. Next is the sun; it's always high noon; the sun never moves the only thing dimming the sun is a regular passage of clouds thick enough to give the area a twilight quality and a soft rain. Don’t worry there are heavy thunderstorms every few days.The Feeling
I named it this because that’s what it is a Feeling; a feeling like what one expects a migrating animal might have as the player gets the feeling there is something in a direction which they must go. What is in that direction are other people, the more people the stronger the Feeling.
I know strange power but how else would I get the people together, giggle. I should add that if people want it might also act as a telepathy but not the mind reading sort more like who needs a cell phoneWhy all this?
"This is to give you answers as far as I may to what your character is going through. I know there seems to be a lack of monsters and danger but who knows what’s beyond your own little corner and lets not forget how freaking creepy it would be to be in an “Empty City”
NEED INPUT
I’d love some story help or requests but must stress I am the Goddess here and mine is the final word...usually is anyway because I babble so much.
Well now to just see if I have screwed this up
