OVERVIEW
❄━━━━━━━━━━━PLOT━━━━━━━━━━━❄ Once upon a time, the snow stopped after winter.
Trees, they say, had green leaves. The sun was bright. Everyone lived in big buildings that were solid and dependable.
But that was in the time of the humans. They were proud, and smart, and took care of us. They created us, and taught the earliest of us to think and speak.
Then, the war came.
Those great minds turned against eachother, and they destroyed themselves, most of us, and almost everything else. When it was all over, the world was changed forever.
At the time, we - or, our ancestors, I should say, since it's been seventy years - didn't know that would affect the Eden Sattelite. The Eden Sattelite regulated the entire climate of Earth - keeping the global temperature balanced, preventing large-scale disasters - but when no one was left to maintain it, the Eden Sattelite began dropping the temperature dramatically, and it doesn't seem like it's stopping anytime soon.
You are the brightest minds we have. It's up to you to find the last starship, get it started, and fly it up to turn the sattelite off. Here - this is the best map we have.
So, will you do it?
❄━━━━━━━━━━━SETTING━━━━━━━━━━━❄  (Image made by Talen using Wonderdraft)Both the time that has elapsed and the cataclysm of the humans' downfall have changed the world dramatically from what it had looked like in the past. The greenish water holds a universally greasy taste, and in certain lights it seems to shine. Groundcover is either grey snow, brittle grass, or most commonly the refuse of technological society. Going out without shoes is ill-advised, as shards of broken glass can be found almost everywhere. Smoky clouds hang in the sky, often obscuring the sun and moon. The Expedition Camp is where the three houses are located on the map. This is a small forest growing in what was once a building complex. Most of the complex has been drowned by the nearby lake. Most of the area past the Expedition Camp is unknown, but rumours abound regarding the Deathdunes to the east (red zone on the map). Everyone who has gone to explore them has never returned. |

RP Rules
❄━━ Follow ALL WP rules. This includes keeping everything PG-13.
❄━━ Romance can be present, but keep in mind that these characters are on a mission. MxF only.
❄━━ Don't kill another person's character without permission. Another roleplayer cannot kill yours without permission, but I, as the Game Master, might. I have rules for myself for this and tables for how this might occur. Please don't flame if this happens; characters are far less likely to die here than in my non-limited RPs.
❄━━ No Mary/Gary Sues. I reserve the right to ask you to fix your form, or deny it entirely.
❄━━ Characters inactive for over a week with no explanation will be killed.
❄━━ I understand that anthros are not real, but please keep to the species listed in Post Six. Names are up to you.
❄━━ The current amount of characters each person can have is two. Subject to change.
❄━━ Minimum post size is five sentences with five words or more. No maximum post size, add as much description as you'd like. Do not consistently post at the minimum.
❄━━ Spelling/grammar mistakes must be kept to a minimum.
❄━━ If there are fights between two PCs, you will not be able to dodge every hit, or score every hit. Naturally, guards will have an advantage against technicians. Fights with non-PCs may vary, but I will try to give you hints about what not to do.
❄━━ Respect your fellow roleplayers.
❄━━ Feel free to ask me anything about the roleplay! I enjoy hearing others' ideas. |

Character List☆ Survivalist☆You are the expert when it comes to surviving in the ruined Earth. It is likely that you were raised or for some reason spent a large portion of your youth in the wild. You know how to hunt and forage, and you brought your equipment with you on the expedition. You're familiar with navigating by the position of shadows and stars - well, when the stars are visible through the smoke.
Agate | F | Dawnforest ( 2812254) | Panthera (Clouded Leopard)
☆ Medic☆Long before today, you decided that you were going to be the one who made others feel better. Since that day, you've become the best of the best in your field, able to quickly diagnose injuries and form a plan of treatment. You brought as many of your medical supplies as you can carry with you in the hopes that it will be enough.
Libby | F | TheHappyHowlers ( 285780) | Panthera (Snow Leopard) ☆ Herder☆Anthropormorphic animals don't hold your attention - true animals do. You're an expert on both the creatures that predated humanity and those that postdate it. You know where game is likely to be found, and take care of the group's steeds when camp is being set up. You even know what those noises from behind you are.
Breeze | M | Talen ( 2783407) | Canid (Grey wolf)
☆ Engineers☆The stories of humanity before the fall fascinated you. Not because of them, of course, but what they created. You're drawn to stories of machines that moved through the air like the long-dead songbirds of old or of fires that never needed to be relit. You know how to get certain ancient machines working, and it's thanks to you that electric light was reintroduced to the world. It is you on whom all of our hopes rely, as you're the only ones who know how to get the spaceship working and turn off the Eden Sattelite.
RESERVED | Gender | Lunar Eclipse ( 290295) | Species Cassius | M | NPC | Dactyl (Mule deer) ☆Guards☆Whatever strength means to you, you've taken it upon yourself to exemplify it. You're familiar enough with one - or more - weapons that it feels like an extension of yourself. You're able to keep yourself focused, even during a particularly boring night on watch. Your senses are keen, and it's likely that you've seen more than your fair share of combat in your life.

Dangers
❄━━━━━━━━━━━Mostly Harmless━━━━━━━━━━━❄ NightmaresDespite their name, Nightmares are completely harmless, as they have been genetically programmed to view anthropomorphic species as friends. These modified horses are hairless except for their tails. The rest of their bodies are covered in bony plates, including a built-in seat on the back. They come in various sizes, and each member of the expedition has one, taken care of by the Herder.
Warning Signs: Four slow hoofbeats.
RatroachesInsects about the size of a hand. They do not usually attack anthros, but will if a nest is disturbed.
Warning Signs: Hissing of air, like a valve under pressure.
ᵔ━━━━━━━━━━━ Moderate Dangers━━━━━━━━━━━ᵔ DronedogsThese are mechanical drones made to guard property. Though their weaponry is mostly broken or rendered nonfunctional by time, the method to reprogram them has long since been lost and they react aggressively to intruders.
Warning Signs: Alarms.
Wasterunners
Wasterunners are nocturnal predators that hunt in packs. They are nearly blind, and incredibly photophobic. These hairless creatures hunt by smell, and will chase prey relentlessly.
Warning Signs: A pack of moving silhouettes.
Truthspiders
Small black spiders that nest in the ruins of buildings. Their bite causes nausea, disorientation, and an inability to lie. The usual duration is 24 hours.
Warning Signs: Cobwebs.
Bloodbugs
These small insects are drawn to fluid, most commonly blood. They often bite to enlarge a wound, and occasionally carry disease.
Warning Signs: Whirring of wings. ﹗━━━━━━━━━━━Major Threats━━━━━━━━━━━﹗ Leapers
Leapers are a large species of bat that has traded the ability to fly for increased size and strength. They often nest in high places, from which they leap down on unsuspecting prey.
Warning Signs: Gleaming fangs above you.
Protos
Protos were the humans' first attempt at creating intelligent life before the anthros were created. Protos are covered in tough scales and seem almost zombie-like, using their long claws to rip apart enemies.
Warning Signs: Footsteps.
Dread Sickness
No one really knows what Dread Sickness is, but rumours say it falls on those who explore certain areas. None who catch it survive.
Warning Signs: Nausea, headache, tender skin.
Guardians
Guardians are highly territorial animals whose skins are covered in tough spines. They are herbivores, but will relentlessly chase anything that moves out of their territories. They tend to charge at enemies.
Warning Signs: Growls, pawing at the ground.

Name BreezeGender MaleSpeciesCanid (grey wolf)Age 23Role HerderBackstory Breeze was born in a small village built in the ruins of what was once a megacity. Breeze's parents, Fox and Shoreline, were the best hunters in their village, responsible for keeping everyone fed, though Shoreline passed away bringing him into the world. The young Breeze always looked up to and admired his parents, but couldn't handle shooting the animals, finding himself instead drawn towards the upkeep of his parents' Nightmares. Breeze's parents were disappointed - as their only child could not continue their legacy - but recognised his unique skills and allowed him to grow and develop them until he reached the point of expertise he currently possesses. Deep down, though, he feels guilty that he couldn't live up to the expectations of his parents.Abilities Breeze's voice is very low and loud, even for a canid. Personality Breeze's small-town background has led to him having a very naiive view of the postapocalyptic world. While his own local environment is a hellscape of glass and shattered metal, there's no reason for him to believe - or, rather, he simply refuses to do so - that the rest of the world is as damaged as his home village. Consequently, the severity of the situation hasn't really hit home for Breeze yet, and he is eager to socialise with the other members of the expedition. Breeze is always eager - perhaps too eager - to share his experience in his field with others, and he will step in and give pointers if he thinks it's necessary. That being said, he didn't survive this long for nothing; being raised by a professional hunter means he's not defenseless if attacked, and his good nature only lasts as long as whoever he's talking to. If Breeze feels as though he's being disrespected, he will lash out.Appearance Based on this wolf.
Breeze, like his father, has melanism; his fur is jet-black, seeming to shine in the light. Breeze's fur is short, and in cold weather he often covers his arms and legs earlier than most other anthros. Being a wolf, however, his tail is fluffy, and, being a male, so is the fur along his neck, cranium, and upper chest. The fur along his head and neck curls slightly, and tends to be messy. Emerald eyes peer out from a relatively narrow face. From the tip of his ears to the bottom of his paws, he's 5'10, tall for a wolf. Breeze is lean, without much superflous fat, though his arms and legs are usually covered by clothing.
Breeze's clothes are usually lighter colours, contrasting with his dark fur. Except during the very hottest days of summer, Breeze wears khaki pants and a flannel of various colours. Breeze's backpack is light green. On his right wrist, he wears a blue bracelet depicting long-dead flowers - a gift from his mother.Starting EquipmentRations (wasterunner jerky), two water bottles, Nightmare feed, spare bridle/reins, flashlight, bow, arrows.Relations Open! I'd love for him to have a girlfriend (:Likes and Dislikes+ Animals, being in nature, new places, meat - Machines, seeing harm or death, rude people Strengths and Weaknesses + Great endurance, good with animals, cooperative - Loud voice, bad at dealing with blood, short temper, inexperienced at dealing with the wider world Nightmare Description Breeze's mount is a blood bay gelding named Spark. Spark has been Breeze's mount since they were, respectively, a colt and a pup. Spark is average-sized, and tends to stay close to other Nightmares.OtherDone!Feel free to move items around or change the format, as long as everything is answered. |
