No one can be sure what happened. One moment, life goes on as usual. Next, fire and mushroom clouds. The end of days had come. Nations, either of greed, fear, or pride, ended up firing their deadly armaments. Once bustling metropolises have turned to skeletons of irradiated glass and steel. Lush forest have become hellish wastelands of sand and broken dreams. The lucky ones died in the blasts. The unlucky ones died of radiation. The damned were left to survive in this world. And the mutants... a fate lacking apt description. It is five years after the war, and survivors have either banded together in a mockery of civilization, working together to scavenge supplies and enjoy the spoils as a group, or leave to themselves, keeping their treasures for themselves. This is the world you are forced to survive in.


This is an RPG my friend wanted me to do for you guys. As you can tell, this one involves surviving in the post-nuclear apocalypse. You must create a basic character using the template following:

Name:

Starting Gear: [Don't go overboard. Like a gun with some bullets will do.]

STATS:
Strength: How strong and durable you are 1-10, 10+ you can perform great feats of strength, 5- you can hardly use melee
Agility: You basic speed and physical reflexes 1-10, 10+ you can do amazing acrobatics [Yeah, like parkour], 5- you can't run well
Intelligence: General knowledge and mental reflexes 1-10, 10+ you can operate and repair advanced machinery, 5- you can't use a computer
Combat: Your knowledge and ability to fight 1-10, 12+ you get movie-star good at this, 5- you never hit anyone before.
Medicine: Your ability to treat wounds, radiation, and cooking skills, which helps avoid radiation. 1-10, 10+ you were a Doctor-Chef in your old life, 5- what's a band-aid?

50 Pts. to spend

Bio: Any knowledge that may be useful for your characters story.

For sake of simplicity, you all start in an unnamed city.

In this game you can expect bandits, traders, mutants, and sometimes just other survivors.

FOR THOSE NEW TO THIS THING:
You guys agree on what to do as a group, and I will play the role of the GM:

PLAYER 1: We look for shelter.

ME: You find an empty storm-shelter.

PLAYER 2: We decide to stay there.

ME: There's a cannibal mutant in there.

PLAYER 3: I shoot it.

ME: It dies.

Of course, it's a lot more free than that, but you get the picture.

If I'm not here, character interact. Make bonds and whatnot.
Make and post your characters and agree on a starting point, and we start once we get about five people. Also, hop in anytime, as long as I can make room. Watch your back, keep alert, and stay away from the radiation. It's not good for you.

Wowwwwwwwwww wow wow wow dude! Wayyyyyy too many roleplays! Don't make the mistake of bogging yourself and lots of other players down with multiple RPGs!

Despite what the timer said, I made this a while ago, No-one joined, so I hooked up at Kais'.
Klimino responds quick enough, don't worry about him.

As for my Emprah thing, Takes me thirty-seconds to write the stuff.
