A recording clicks to life and a man clears his throat "The year is two thousand sixty four, thirty years after world war three ended. Thirty years after the worst decision mankind has ever made. A screen flickers slowly to life, on it a complex chemical equation. "Thinking back, it's funny in a morbid kind of way. More people have died at the end of that war then had ever died during it." The equation changes into an image of a molecule, which slowly starts to rotate. "What you see before you is my greatest creation, My most terrible child. I am Doctor William Murdoc, Architect of the single worst genocidal event this world has ever seen. This is an image of the rgs7x, a genophage designed to slow down birthing rates to cull overpopulation in animals." The voice takes on a proud sort of tone "I had finished it just before the war started, I was young and ambitious then, but enough about me. Millions were killed during the war, and once it was clear America had no chance of winning the war, weaponized my creation." The image changes once more showing what looks to be a missile of an unknown design "Launching it at other countries through the use of newly created intercontinental ballistic missiles, designed with steal in mind. by the time the world noticed what was happening it was too late. The warheads killed millions more all the while releasing the genophage into he air." The screen changes again showing the impact zones of the different missile strikes "After a week it had saturated the entire globe, the results were immediate. All the children under the age of 10 died, and soon after women were rendered nigh infertile. Realizing this countries every where started pulling back their soldiers." The screen is now showing images of mass burials and empty maternity wards "The world was now left with less than a twentieth of it's former population. America left with only a sixtieth of it's citizens, realized that in order to better protect it remaining number they had to be closer together. Issuing a general order that had every citizen of our once great nation retreating behind walls built to keep enemy soldiers out of it's major cities" the screen change once more this time for showing the tired and worn face of an old man " As a result of my creation, only one out of every twenty births is actually successful. To atone for my sins, I have dedicated the remainder of my life to making a cure. If you are watching this, then congratulations YOUR humanity's only hope of ever leaving the endangered list." The screen fades to black.




This is going to be based in post apocalyptic america one hundred and six years after the above mentioned date. The remaining populations have withdrawn into major cities and walled themselves off imposing strict policies to ensure survival, nature has reclaimed what it had lost to mankind's ever expanding industries. Shut off from the outside world every city's government has diverged from what America used to be. Cities send out Caravans on what used to be America's highways to establish trade with one another.

Education remains largely unchanged teaching what little children a city does have how to read, write, and basic math.

Jobs in the cities are largely similar

Farmers: Tend to the food and livestock raised the the city
Militia: The guards and police force
Hunters: By far the largest group, They are responsible for the protection of the outer city
Nursemaids: They raise what children the cities have
Doctors: Responsible for the health and general welfare of the city
Traders: Drive caravans, to other cities enabling trade for supplies and medicine not for in their city of origin

Settlers: People who have forgone the protective walls of the city and have chosen to live out side among natures bounty

Starting city is up for debate but it will be based in america, preferably somewhere near a mountainous region.
The only jobs I'd be willing to accept at first would be; Traders, Hunters, or Settlers. Because for the underlying plot we'd have to move around outside of cities. I'd be willing to accept another job if you could rationalize it, why would you have been allowed outside.

He isn't afraid to listen to his squad in situations where they might be more versed then him.
Appearance: Xander is 6 foot 2 inches tall and weighs about 200 lbs (thats about 1.9 meters and 90.8 kilos to those on the metric system). He has a solid build with broad shoulders and a dark skin tone. he keeps his black hair cut short and away from his brown eyes. his most eye catching feature, a diagonal scar running from above his right eye across his nose to just under his left eye. A reminder of one of his first excursions outside the city walls.

17

Role(
Ie: Medic, Scout, Nurse): Settler

She can have a bit of an ego at times, but she tries not to be rude. She can be kind and understanding. However, she is unyeilding when it comes to her religion. Her tribe believes in a goddess of the moon. She can become violent if provoked, otherwise she's peaceful. Zera is a skilled fighter and archer. She is traveling towards the nearest city in hopes of trading goods. Her tribe harbors skilled craftsmen, but no farmers or people who know how to work the land.

She carries a machete, bow and arrow, and a hidden dagger in her ankle band.
 
Sorry it took so long, but I just got my computer back. :)
 
Full name: Taylor Green
Age: 31
Job: Hunter
Role:
Settler Escort. He walks with settler groups to keep them safe until they reach their destinations.
Rank:
Senior Patrolman
Personality:
Taylor is a fan of good drink (when he can find it) and good company. Generally seeks larger groups of people to cover for his general fear of being alone. He finds arrogant people irritating and can't really get a read on those who don't talk much. As a result, he tends stays away from both types. He tells jokes even when he shouldn't but can get serious if the situation really, really demands it. Has had a history of slacking off, and joined the settler groups to find a new life beyond the walls to escape the cramped quarters of the cities and find some proper breathing room out in the wilderness. Or, so he tells people. In reality he's just trying to escape his family and past. Mistakes were made, and he believes that it's in his best interest that they not leave those city walls.
Appearance: Taylor is relatively tall and stands just above six feet with a fairly average build in terms of muscle mass. He has a vaguely square jaw and sports a well-trimmed goatee upon his face. His hair is tied back in a ponytail extending just past his neck. His face has a fair skin tone and some signs of aging are appearing around the corners of his eyes and lips. He wears a green and blue plaid button-up shirt with a pair of woodland camouflage cargo pants. On his feet he has a pair of normal-ass socks with his brown hiking boots. Should the need arise, he also wears an olive drab hiking pack.
He wields a Winchester bolt-action hunting rifle with a suitably sized telescopic sight attached. On his belt are six small loops, each holding a shining brass round. Attached to the other side of his belt is a small sheath holding a hunting knife to complete that woodsman look.
 
Is it ok if I start the role play here on my own? I really want to start this and I have my story completed.(well not all of it)
 
sure, i've been busy so i haven't really had a chance
