A dystopian society where the world lies in ruin (for some unknown reason) and the future looks grim. A small group of adults want to see a change though, they want to be the change. So they set out on a mission to build a safe haven, to rescue the weak from the darkness and give them the tools they need to build a brighter future, to push back against the lawlessness and reeseablish order. And where do they start? With the kids of course. Nothing inspires a brighter future like the innocence and hopefulness of a child. And no one is weaker than a child with no one.

Run the haven and search for more kids to rescue. Most of them would be young-middle aged because this world is not kind to the older, weaker adults. These adults would be calloused and hardened but still have secret soft spots as they have a weakness for kids and still hope for a better future.

Fast and agile kids, usually loners because it's safer. They are smart and assess situations before barging in. They aren't necessarily anti-social, just wary of getting close to others since they know they aren't strong enough to fight back against most opponents. They respond best to trades and deals, free things make them nervous about traps.

Strong kids who fight first and ask questions later. They are usually strong enough and sturdy enough to be able to take a beating, thus they hold their ground instead of assessing the situation. Sometimes, they will band together to form "packs." They respond best to shows of strength and power or just food, you feed them they generally stay.

The lowest of the low. The most unfortunate. The unlucky and cursed. These kids have no one and few skills to depend on. All of them had the bad luck to get seriously injured, and wounds do not heal fast or right in this society. Their injuries range from broken arms and legs healed wrong, missing limbs, or minor paralysis (such as they can't move their legs). They usually resort to hiding and scavenging since they can't fight or employ hit and run tactics. They are the most hopeful of the children and respond well to acts of kindness, since they have known so little.

Name thought for it

"Stray no More"

Would definitely join as a street rat or wolf!

Could be both? I was thinking of allowing 2-3 characters per player if I did it. That is what I used to see back in the days that I did group RPs so, so long ago. xD

Usually I do one character at a time because I don't log on often when others are on, so upkeeping two characters would be hard, but I would love to do that if I find the time!

Would def want to play a street rat or urchin! :0

def pm me if you make this

This seems fun! I'd almost definitely add a character.

Updated plot for the RP. It is going to happen!

The Plot

A dystopian, somewhat post-apocalyptic, society where the world has laid in ruin for so long that no one quite remembers how they got there. The fallen world is just the way life is, and it's future is grim. As former cities and homes crumble, wildlife grows more and more dominant, reclaiming the territories of their ancestors. What remains of humanity lives primarily in the shells of cities, fighting each other tooth and nail for territory. Food is scarce. You can pillage old homes and stores in the city and fight other strays for those scraps, or you can try farming outside the city and fight with wildlife. Clean and hot water are luxuries long forgotten. The weak do not survive in this world. It's just not possible. Not here. And the innocent don't stay that way for long.

But...

What if they did?

It started when a small band of teenagers came together. They helped each other survive and built a haven to better survive. Then these teenagers grew up into adults. They survived the wasteland of the world and kept their humanity, their empathy and hope. And they're guided by a dream. What if they could change the world? Or at the very least, see the first few dominoes fall toward a brighter future? They could restore light and order to a world of chaos and darkness! But where would they start?

With the weak, of course! Nothing inspires a brighter future like the innocence and hopefulness of a child. And nobody is weaker than the youth of this world. Orphaned by the darkness, most of this world's children have seen their fair share of bloodshed. They've been pushed around, are constantly starving or getting sick, getting hurt... In order to survive they either have to risk stealing from larger, stronger gangs or risk hunting in the wilds. Or...stoop to scavenging.

But what if they didn't have to?

The hopeful adults turn their safe haven into a shelter. Their plan is to rescue as many children as they can get their hands on. Bring them to Haven. Give them a roof over their head, an actual bed to sleep in, warm blankets, hot meals, clean water, and teach them how to fight and speak so that they may never fear being killed or starving to death. Protect them from dangers and provide them with the tools to succeed on their own one day. Show them how empathy can restore light to the world and how the bonds they build today will build a brighter future down the road.

Maybe these adults are too hopeful. Maybe they're just too ambitious. But maybe...just maybe, they can be the first step toward a new world.

But will they live to see it?

Adding a character rank too

Kids

They are children already rescued by the adults who will help them rescue urchins, wolves, and rats. ^^
