The complete collapse of society. A virus, its origin unknown spread around the continents with such a high infection rate that before anybody could react properly, ninety percent of the population of the world was infected. Those infected deteriorated within hours, death usually claiming them within days. <br/><br/>Areas with a high population density fell first, the virus spreading faster than wildfire. Those who managed to get out of the city while infected, spread the virus through countries. Remote settlements escaped the virus mostly but where struggling with daily life now that power, water and other services were struggling. <br/>Some survivors decided to leave cities and settlements and start over from the beginning. We play a group of those survivors, having escaped the city, they settle new land going through all the hardships of losses, fear and different personalities all while trying to survive in their new home.</strong></em></div><br/><div align="center">(https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/036/841/140/large/alexander-lindstrom-paris-virus-post-apocalypse-v003-0001.jpg?1618779259)</div><br/><div align="center"><strong>Interest and Recruitment Thread.</strong> (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=343003.0)<br/><strong>Game Thread</strong> (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=344185.0)<br/></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Approved Characters:<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Peter Simon</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatright">(https://www.pngitem.com/pimgs/m/401-4013839_airsoft-milsim-loadout-hd-png-download.png)</div><strong>Player name:</strong> ToWriterAndWander<br/><strong>Character name:</strong> Peter Simon<br/><strong>Age:</strong> 24<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong> Dual Citizen - USA + UK<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong> Despite looking the part, Peter is anything but a soldier. He is more of an armchair general, working in the IT Department of a large corporation. But he has always been a weekend warrior, spending time in the great outdoors to get away from city life. His #1 Hobby though is playing Airsoft. He has the gear (albeit mostly cheap chinese knockoffs, no actual plate in the plate carrier) and has learned military tactics through training with a 'squad', many of whom were active or former military themselves. They got him into shooting real-steel and convinced him to buy his first AR. He has since upgraded from a mostly-plastic airsoft rifle to a full-metal one, in order to get used to feeling the real weight of a gun. </div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Alyx Bellamy</div><div class="spoiler_body">Player name: Hellion<br/>Character name: Alyx Bellamy<br/>Age: 25<br/>Nationality: United States<br/>Area of Expertise: General Practice Physician, Triage, Field Medic, and Herbalist.<br/><br/>Quote: “The best medic is the one you run to and can't find.”<br/><br/>Personality Traits: Introverted | Focused | Caring<br/><br/>Description: Standing at just under five feet, Alyx doesn’t mind the fact that her smaller, petite stature keeps her hidden in plain sight which compliments her introverted nature. And being rather on the androgynous side, typical clothing for her had always been more or less “streetwear”, or at the very least, tshirt, jeans and sneakers. Thick dark hair usually obscures at least half her face.<br/><br/>For the most part, she tends to keep her distance from social engagements as much as possible, unless it is with close friends she trusts. Some see her as rather quirky at times, and others are just confused by her appearance, as those who may not know her that well aren’t sure if she is a girl or boy. Relationships were few and far between, but that’s how she liked it, not allowing others to get too close and keeping herself busy enough not to worry about such things.<br/><br/>Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Alyx came from a family of medical professionals, so it wasn't too far off for her to dive into the same field. However, her residency in Charlotte, North Carolina was near it's end when the mysterious virus hit all the major arteries within the world, especially in her home city. It wasn't long before most of the people she knew and loved vanished at the hand of fever and death, including her parents. The irony of it all was not lost on her however, that while generations within her family fought to prevent illnesses and increase the quality of life, they couldn't escape their own demise.<br/><br/>With very little to work with, she headed out on her own, hoping to find answers to whatever was destroying humanity from the inside out.</div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Parker Riley</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatright">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d2/35/c3/d235c3bb544441705544a6908757385e.jpg)</div><strong>Player name:</strong> Dashenka<br/><strong>Character name:</strong> Parker Riley<br/><strong>Age:</strong> 26<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong> American<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong> A young ambitious woman, Parker has always pushed herself to be the best person she could be. She knew at a young age she wanted to be a pilot and recently got her license to fly bigger jets. Parker is proud of her job and although she recently moved into a new house with her boyfriend, will do anything for her career. Flying comes first, settling down is second. <br/><br/>Although sometimes a girly girl, Parker knows her way around mechanical stuff. In fact when she lived at home, her long brown hair often got tied in a ponytail or a knot and she'd help her dad tinker away on cars and engines and what not. </div></div><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Character sheet code is below.</strong></span><br/><br/>I'm not a big fan of hugely long and elaborated character sheets included visual attributes etc, etc.<br/><br/>I do like a name, age and a picture, a description of your character of who they are, how they react to the end of the world, etc. As for nationality, I haven't decided where to set it yet. So that is something else I'd like you to suggest as well. Keep in mind that it will be a suggestion. It might not be the eventual location. Think of the Rockies, Alaska, a desert, the Alps, the Atacama Desert, Outback, Mongolia, Northern Siberia, etc. Once we got a location we'll see how we get there. Hope that works for you. In code, that looks as follows:<br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatright][img height=250]Insert image url if applicable[/img][/floatright]<br/>[b]Player name:[/b] Dashenka<br/>[b]Character name:[/b] My Character<br/>[b]Age:[/b] Age<br/>[b]Nationality:[/b] Which country is stated in the passport.<br/><br/>[b]Description:[/b] Include the character's profession, what he or she is good at, what they like and how they would react to the end of the world.
