"The last of the emergency signals died when the beams hit the planet. It was so sudden. One minute you're having a picnic, the next, half the neighborhood is reduced to ashes. There was so much blood, and the screams just wouldn't stop. Beasts fell from the sky, killing everything in sight. This is the kinda shit you'd only see in movies or video-games. But this wasn't a game. We were not prepared for...for whatever this was.
We. Fucked. Up.
Nations across the world were armed to teeth to try to take this thing on, but we didn't have a chance to even pull the goddamn trigger. And then...they started "taking" us. Everyone, being sucked up into the sky like a straw, a few hundred at a time. Those that were lucky, watched as their loved ones were pulled into the sky, never to be seen again. Then the clouds opened, and we saw this threat for what it truly was. The saddest part, is that there was no hope. This... was our extinction event." -an unknown survivor
Now almost 4 years later, what's left of civilization exists in pockets, scattered across our planet. Survival on the surface became a life and death struggle, as humanity defended it from the creatures that were left behind. The population of the planet whittled down from over 9 billion, to only a few hundred thousand.

But there may be grace in our failure. Radio signals suggest of a safe haven in Kansas, and a possible future where mankind can reclaim Earth before we lose it all. With bags packed and weapons at the ready, survivors make their way to a place that could possibly save our world.
New York, having a population of over 9 million people, was the first of many cities to be attacked by the invasion. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, and mankind watched as New York burned to the ground. Now, years later, it stands as a graveyard. Survivors who choose to tread here, are faced with almost certain danger, as the city is now overrun by extraterrestrial beasts, bandits, and looters.

San Francisco witnessed the worst natural event it had ever seen. What they call an "Orbital Plasma Ladder", a highly charged electric pulse, broke through the clouds...cracking the San Andreas Fault line, splitting the land of California in half. The earth opened up and swallowed entire cities as millions fell into the fiery abyss, . Years later, the remnants of humanity in California struggled to Survive in San Francisco, which is now an island, cut off from the rest of the country by the Pacific Ocean.

During the invasion, many people fled to the south in an attempt to escape the devastation. Day by day, the city became host to refugees...and that made the city of New Orleans an immediate target. The entire city was bombarded by alien weaponry and flooded. Now those who remain, attempt to survive on what's left of the military naval presence that once tried to protect the city.

Helena, Montana was considered a safe haven due to its vast landscape, but even it wasn't safe from a nationwide attack. Forests were burned to the ground, and mountains were completely obliterated. These days, Helena, boasts as one of the safest places in the country. But it isn't without its dangers, with nuclear radiation pocketing the region; and alien creatures scattered about, roaming the countryside.

The city of Austin, Texas lasted the longest due to its high military presence at the time of the attack. It was the beacon of hope for days, until it finally fell due to the advanced weaponry of alien forces. It's host to one of the largest survivor bases in the country, but is quickly becoming more and more dangerous, as civil unrest raises its ugly head.

I assume were all civil people but just to make sure:
- This rp will governed by the GM(myself) and possibly a CO-GM, what we say, goes. Period.
- All Iwaku Rules Apply!
- Let's be civil and friendly. We all have bad days but let's not be asses about it.
- Have fun!
- No powers or enhanced abilities of any kind, unless you have extensive military training. But no one here is Captain America or The Punisher so keep the physical abilities realistic.
- No God-moding.
- There is a 1 character, 1 NPC limit.
- Your location is based on the different types listed above. So you have free reign to tailor your character according to where he/she is from. Ex: If I'm from an area of High radiation, my gear(armor or other clothing) may be a bit better than others.
- Tailor your weapon choice to your region as well. Depending on where you're from, not everyone is going to start out with a rocket launcher or an ak-47. But through your journey you are likely to come across such items, so be discreet.
- Tailor your weapon choice to your region as well. Depending on where you're from, not everyone is going to start out with a rocket launcher or an ak-47. But through your journey you are likely to come across such items, so be discreet.
This is YOUR journey, so journey across the land as you sit fit, reasonably. You can and will most likely run into other character, so stay on the alert.
- Location is key. We are all working towards a specific area in the end, "Kansas". So please make sure to notify where you are in your rp and keep track of where you are so everyone knows.
- Be creative. This is the beginning of your origin story. Whether you make a grand entrance or not, bring your character to life.
- There are no instant-kills unless agreed upon by another player.
- You WILL run into obstacles. You WILL face enemies. No one travels from point A to point B without a scratch or getting their hands/ and or feet dirty.
- Drama is almost always a necessary for a fully flushed, characterized story. Lost a love one? Best friend almost tried to kill you? Want someone else dead? Make that known.
- Romance is allowed. I'd make out with Maggie if I were Glenn too, so it is permitted.
