Remeber, my dream is to make this a game, so this could be your chance to be a big person in a fututre game!Now, what do i expect? I will write the story in real time, or rp time, your actions will shape everything, you will make dynamic changes to this post zombie apocalypse world so that i can make some characters that are real, well fleshed out,and overall interesting. Stick to your morals! remeber morals arew the only thing seperating you from the undead, but, sometimes right and wrong arent clear cut so be prepared for what may happen.
You will not die easily, im not here to play god, i will give every player a method of survival that i will hint too you personally in pm if you get near death, im here to make a story with epic characters, not to leave more corpses
Sanctum/wasteland
This is where the story will take place, sanctums are where man fled to when inception day happened, and the undead rose. Man has hid here for decades as the outbreak ravaged the world, but man has managed to survive by growing, building, some even mutating certain traights
The wasteland is a nomans land, but in the ruins of the old world treasures like medicine, tech, weapons, lie waiting to be found, you risk the undead, but who knows waht you may find
Characters
Jack-Aka caliphas cain-An enigma, a wanderer blamed for the murder of two sanctum guards and a massacre of a group of survivors. HIs motives are unclear, but everyone knows he brings chaos. No one knows his reasons for staying in sanctum, or why hes been picking off seemingly unaffiliated members of the sanctums high council. Some say he is a ghoul, a human who was bitten but is immune to change, sent by the gods to punish the sanctums for defying the gods plan to purge the earth. Others see him as an angel of freedom, someone sent to liberate the poor and despot in the sanctums , and reveal the truth of the mysterious inception day....Who knows...maybe you'll find that out
Characters will be separated into two user types
For jack-People who support jacks vision of a revolution, those who see sanctums as corrupt zoos that need to be either, torn down or be reshaped, if you are in this group, you will be risking rp jail time, abuse from the police, etc, but npcs that agree with you will offer goods, shelter and other perks that may help you in the story. your weapons will be improvised, but you will have have better understanding of your surroundings, and you may be able to use that to your advantage
Characters in this group are as such
Copycat killer-This will be one person, whoever is interested, will be trying to gain jacks attention by escalating acts of aggression, you will be risking a lot, but the fear and prestige you get will give you a severe edge in the rp when trying to get information, or when trying to intimidate people into getting items.
Chem seller-one of the few people close to jack, he will be in direct contact with you at certain times when he asks for certain types of old world drugs. Though you will risk venturing out into the wastes to find these drugs, you will be well off on funds and well linked within the city, everyone needs a fix and with that comes power
Renegade ho siht agent-The last vestige of uniform government, you left the outfit and struck out on your own, you will have limited access to higher tier weaponry, but you will have a chemical stimulant in your blood that makes you unrecognizable to the undead, itll come in handy, trust me
Sanctum renegade-You've had enough, your not taking this anymore, your fighting back against the governments tyranny , and your willing to die for the cause. Your perks are various types of improvised explosives, and safe houses all over the sanctum and some within the wasteland, these areas have stashes off food water, etc, if it gets too hot you can retreat here and hide until the heat comes down
Brotherhood-A shadowy cult that has forseen the coming of jack and move to support him in his actions. Your perks will be healing poultices poultice, and rumor says, some members of the brotherhood have even a certain amount of control over the undead, and show the stigmata of mutations witch manifest themselves in odd, dangerous ways....
Against jack-Jack is a plague, a monster to be snuffed out, People in this classification have more access to more stable weaponry, but are often regarded with wariness and outright fear by the populace, sure your weapons may be good , but getting information is harder, and sometimes npc will outright ignore you unless you throw a little weight..
The warden-One person can take this , he leads the jail/police in sanctum, you want jack incarcerated, you want him locked up to never plague your sanctum, you have access to the sanctums armory, and you have the ability to call for players to be jailed(though for some reason many people have been escaping)
Sanctum purifiers- Shadowy priests that foresaw jacks arrival as a harbinger of death, and have somehow evolved the ability to use iron as weapons and as a healing source. In your hands iron moves like mercury and with it you have the ability to boost your offense, or make weapons that are completely under your control. You also have the ability to lightly heal broken bones and such.
ho siht agent- As stated above, they are sanctums peacekeepers, you are regarded with a mix of fear by the populace because of the severity of your actions but you have access to second to top tier weaponry, and the chemical stimulant that makes you immune to the undead.
Undead herders- you have been contracted by the government to herd the massive tides of the undead away from the rocky mountain sanctum, and bring back any survivor communities you find. You have a access to the ho siht armory, plus the scrounger ability. You know the land , you know whats safe to eat, and what mixtures can cure certain infections by the undead.
Undead keepers-THey quarentine any members of the community too infected and handle them humanely. Outright despised by the populace, your presence invokes fear, you will be able to intimidate nps for information, and have access to the purge weaponry, powerful flame weapons that are incredible agasint light armor opponents and the undead
Nuetral players- this is self explanatory, you dont know what to beleive, you see sanctum as a sick government, but have noi idea about jacks intentions, you are free to pick from either side, you will deal with the stigma of that subtype, but you will be able to delve into areas of thee stories not easily accessible to the other sides.
The judge-The last word in sanctum, the judge is a young man/or woman, newly appointed to this office, but he/she bears in a safe the truth of inception day, and a dark hint of who jack may be. you have access to the entire city, but have to deal with both sides, but you answer to no one, and with that, you can safely delve into jacks past without repraisal, but beware..what you may find about sanctum, and jack, may be too much to bear without choosing a side.
weapons/ chems/ perks , etc
What rpg would be complete without these? depending on your class will decide your overall playstyle, weapons have to be maintained, and i will be watching your use of them, any weapon can be made, use your imagination, this is the post zombie world, re-bar bats, , shotguns that shoot nitrogen coated buckshot, your imagination is the limit here, don't go overboard, get too hasty ill make it backfire. but i want to see how imaginative you can be. If you have an idea for a weapon but are unsure if you can use it, pm me and ill either warn you about a backfire, or let you do it
Now, i will be posting up two threads in this forum, a place for all three factions, there your stories will be set away from the prying eyes of the faction, where the main forum of sanctum will be where the main storyline will play out. Please wait for responses in the main story thread, the offshoot threads will be fair game for conversation and individual fleshing out of r your chracter.
Combat, survival etc
We will be using the .1d100 rolled for a total of: 13 (13) method for most things like this, i will specify when to roll and such , but this adds a measure of luck and edgyness to this.
The undead
The undead popped up out of nowhere, their bite is highly infectious but characterized by three certain bites
Rapid rot-casues the bite to decay quickly, leading to loss of limbs if not treated
Raging fever-cripples the user if not treated, can cause debuff perks like blindness, seizures, etc
Poisoning- the player will be poisoned in one of six random ways, effecting everything from reaction time, to taste
but who knows, maybe some more sinister undead have not been registered...who knows what kind of zombies have been breeding in the wastes while man hid in sanctum
If interested, post what type you'd like, your faction here, and ill add it to this post to set it. Remember for the three classes that require one player, those are first come, with certain people already pmed about it, if they accept its theirs, but if not its up for grabs..
As i stated before, i hope to make a story set apart from others of this time. To make a story that other books/games will compare themselves to, i beleive letting my peers help shape it, so id love for as many people that would like to participate do.
Remember, sometimes the only difference between right and wrong is how much blood covers it.
