The main page is here! Don't post, though. Not yet.
Would anyone be interested in a small group rp about the destruction of mankind by asteroid and toxic fumes? Basically, future civilization is decimated by the debris of a destroyed asteroid. Cities are wiped out overnight and the world is launched into a winter that lasts them ten years. Wars emerged and entire countries fight for the remaining resources.
Meanwhile, a toxin carried by this asteroid is released into the air and spreads with the passing plumes of dirt and debris. Storms erupt and the toxin rains down, infecting the people below. It takes time, but symptoms from prolonged exposure to the unknown toxin emerge. People, driven mad by open wounds from this incredibly corrosive material, become feral and animalistic. They attack any moving thing and devour them in an effort to satisfy their own basic needs.
In order to protect themselves, the last remaining survivors wear protective gear. Gas masks, heavy clothing, and hazmat suits are a necessary commodity that people will outright kill for just to stay alive. Resources such as canned goods and bottled water are the only safe nourishments sealed from the elements and its poisons.
I've more to add but this is the basic gist of what I'm trying to get at. This would be a semi-advanced roleplay with two to three other people. The plot and idea needs to be developed but I thought I'd give you all the opportunity to share your own ideas as well. This would be a collaborative effort and I would appreciate it greatly if every member was somewhat committed to rp. Let's not let this die. c:
I'll post other ideas and work down below. If you're interested, please don't hesitate to message me!

ideas & notes --
The rp would start post-war and winter so approximately ten to twelve years are the asteroid's decent.
Everything is constantly being covered in a fine layer of dust and ash. The world is dark with heavy clouds and a seldom seen sun. The weather is constantly changing but never clear. It's cold, dry, and without mercy.
Most everything exposed to the elements is as toxic as the rain that carries the unknown toxin. Though no one goes toxin-free, there are ways to impede the progression of the toxins symptoms. Wearing heavy clothes which covers most, if not all, skin is highly recommended. Gas masks and/or hazmat suits are a must. By breathing the air, touching anything directly, or ingesting contaminated objects, your are increasing your risk of turning feral. In the end, though, after living a life of exposer, everyone turns.
Animals, too, are effected and driven mad.
The toxin is corrosive and will eat at anything organic.
This is a futuristic society so some technology may be different. AIs and automatons are the most noticeable difference. Though few in number, they still wander the streets looking for work.
This could be a larger PM rp or a public thread.
When the asteroid fell, it wreaked its havoc over one portion of the world. Largely the western and far eastern hemisphere. It is believed that some shred of human civilization made it through.

hm. do you know anything about coding? i'm trying to get a box inside of a box but i'm totally lost. also, is there anything about the plot you might want to discuss? the ideas are kind of all over the place so maybe narrowing some things down would help. lastly, if you wanted to work on some rules, that would be fantastic.
i'm working on the layout now and will fill it in as we go. i'm just finalizing some information and whatnot. thanks so much for the help. c:

You are asking the wrong person about coding lol, and if you want to finalize the plot and stuff what kind of things did you have in mind? And is there something specific you want in the rules before I get started?

haha. bah. i need some guides but i can't find anything. xp
maybe the overall idea and the direction we wanted to take on the plot. i've got a few ideas plot-wise but mainly future ones. basically, i was thinking that, while a majority of the world was wiped from the map from war and - obviously- the asteroid, a few colonies or shreds of human civilization made it through. Our survivors are far from salvation and know mostly nothing other than rumors about it so their main goal is just survival on a daily basis. Later in the roleplay, i was thinking of bringing in these civilizations. Like, they'd go out scouting, looking for survivors or something. I need short-term plots, though.
not really. it'd just be cool to have something basic.

Are people not allowed to take their suits off at all? In what kind of place would they be able to? Would there be some buildings left standing (of course still crumbly since it is he apocalypse)?

Are people not allowed to take their suits off at all? In what kind of place would they be able to? Would there be some buildings left standing (of course still crumbly since it is he apocalypse)? So, I think I have the layout partly completed. Does this look okay? The picture centers differently depending on the device.
People would be able to take their suits off. Especially if they're sheltered and indoors. When traveling or exploring some place they are not familiar with, it's best to wear their gear. The toxin settles on things like a fine dust so it's best to wear your suits and gas masks when outside. There is no treatment from the toxin so, once exposed, the damage is done. It takes a while depending on the person but after so long you start to exhibit symptoms before turning feral altogether.
It's a little after twelve years following the asteroid and the devastation afterwards. For the most part, people didn't take to it well and a majority of the population died off. Settlements and stray wanders emerge and so forth. Buildings have had time to decay and most are completely destroyed in parts that were hit hard by either war or asteroid.
I keep calling it asteroid but I think once it enters the atmosphere it becomes a meteor. hm.
I'm also thinking about Don't Panic for the title?

thank you so much, Bluespur .
if you'd like to give any suggestions and whatnot, i'd really appreciate any. right now i just need an overarching plot, something to drive the rp on. i've got future ideas but nothing short-term.
also, does the background image center alright for you? on the layout, i mean.

sorry for disappearing on you.
i've just finished up on the survivor's journal. it's basically a bunch of notes and tips for those joining. things they might need to know to understand the direction the roleplay is taking. besides this, all i really need is an introduction, about section, and rules. those and an overarching plot. after that, people can start joining whenever they like.
thus far, is everything make sense? the idea of the rp and setting?
