Survivor: Wasteland Convoy
In 2034 a variety of ebola went global. A weaponised strain by religious extremists released globally, this 'Cult of the End' wiped out all but approximately 20% of the human race. Unfortunately, the human race had gone ballistic over this pandemic and decided to attempt to finish the job on their neighbours. Nuclear weapons were unleashed by many of the survivors leaving, in the end, only 0.5% of the human race alive. A lingering population of about forty million.
Over the next century populations recovered, but not by much. Mutants had become rampant, animal or human, and all other manner of horrors rose, humanity struggled. A tribe of survivors from Edinburgh had however found out about a new chance for the future, their home grounds were near stripped bare, plants struggled to grow, animals became scarce and the threat of cannibalism as a way of life encroached once more. But this new chance for the future. A message clutched in the hands of a dying man who had fought his way across the face of the world searching for survivors from any nation with an offer.
The paper it was written on was actually laminated and written in many languages the 'prophet' was expected to encounter in his trip across the world. It promised an intact, healthy, sanctuary for all pure humanity in a nation once called Japan on the island of Hokkaido. Once called Japan, now simply called Eden.
The message promised a future of plenty for the survivors of Europe. There was just one problem. It would take a minimum of half a year to walk there. The precious vehicles had become the tribes sole future. Excepting the most stubborn the tribe invested in packing all its resources into a great convoy. A convoy of vehicles that would cross the channel through the Great Tunnel the prophet had arrived by. And from there. Cross the great breadth of Europe to the promised land!
A Hope Restored.
But as any survivor could tell you.
A hope restored is ever more painfully dashed. And this trip was the greatest gamble any of them would ever make. And they knew it, heart and soul, not everyone would make it. Probably not even most.
You and your crew are one of the vehicles in the convoy. Doing your part for hope and survival! Will you be a scout on a motorbike, or perhaps in a kitted out Lamborghini? Or a soldier helping fight off raiders in a Muscle Car, Sedan or a truck carrying a gun-trailer? Or maybe you're in charge of a Bus loaded with Hydroponics and other tribe members?
Regardless, you're in control of your vehicle as part of the convoy on its epic trip from Edinburgh to Vladivostok without the benefit of GPS, reliable roads or a nice stable world. You'll be responsible for lives. You'll be responsible for deaths.
You won't be going along mysterious unnamed roads (all the time), no you'll be travelling along what remains of the actual road systems as I keep track of where in the world the convoy is using a complex formula of basic maths and google maps as well as random event generation and dice!
Rules of Behaviour:
- Do not 'Godmode' this will be punished severely! (And if someone has to be warned more than once, with their permanent removal from the RP.)
- No Puppeteering, the only characters you have any control over are your own! Any NPC vehicles in the convoy and its crew will listen to advice, but they are not 'controllable'. Feel free to get in contact with me if you want to collaborate out a conversation with any NPCs such as a private conversation.
- No OOC drama! If you have an issue feel free to PM me about it. If you have an issue with another player, PM me about it. If you have an issue with me, PM me about it (and then I advise running ;) ) Causing the OOC to devolve into an argument is considered worthy of being dismissed from the RP. (Within reason, if someone makes a child molester for a character, please feel free to abuse within the forums rules :p)
- Remember, death is possible! Don't be surprised if/when you lose people! It will happen. Be prepared!
- Also note, that approval is required before posting! Once your character is accepted you're good. But give other people a chance to post. Also note that you cannot just move the convoy on. GM posts involve moving things on, combat or long-travel.
