A Post-Apocalyptic RP by Samayouru
Humanity entered its second Dark Age during a time when, in all honesty, the idea of regressing back to life before convenience was a daydream at best and something that could cause people to burst out laughing at best. At the time the very notion of experiencing something large enough to decimate most of humanity’s achievements seemed silly – but of course, what people failed to realise was that even if there was a 99.9% percent chance that it wouldn’t happen, there was still 0.01% chance that it would.
Up until then the Geothermal Power Plant, located on an unassuming ridge against Blush Mountain, was quite a boring place to most people. That is, until the odd-looking machinery started being shipped to it, parts that many people had not seen before and had no idea what they did. They didn’t question it – people just assumed that it was merely one of the many technological advances taking place around them at a constant rate. The representatives of the plant assured the public that every safety precaution was being taken to make sure this new device would work just fine, and considering the plant’s history with following safety measures through, very few people did not trust their words.
So of course, many people were taken by surprise when – from seemingly out of nowhere – the entire facility was torn apart by quite possibly the largest explosion anyone who witnessed it had ever seen.
Nobody was quite sure what caused that explosion, or even who or what was the cause of it. Some said that it was to do with the strange equipment that had been taken into the plant; others say it was thanks to workers neglecting what should’ve been very important duties. But something happened that day – and when it did, what crawled out from what remained of the power plant was something neither human nor pokemon – a hulking creature as tall as a skyscraper, sprouting two mouths on the larger of its two sets of hands and one massive, gaping maw that ran across its stomach. This beast was the only thing to emerge alive from the plant.
It was confused.
It was angry.
And it was very, VERY hungry.
Civilisation didn’t stand much of a chance after that thing appeared. It devoured every sorry thing that was unfortunate enough to cross its path be it living or not. Majestic cities were flattened to the ground, forests were stripped of their trees and even mountains were reduced to nothing more than pebbles and rocks. To add insult to injury it was soon discovered that something else had been released from the plant – and that was a kind of radiation that nobody had seen before. It wasted no time causing damage – pokemon who were unfortunate enough to be exposed to it began to change – shifting and mutating into terrible creatures that barely resembled what they used to be. As a result many people were forced to start wearing protective gear just to go about their daily lives, acting as a stern reminder of how much damage had been done.
Soon after the Alolan Government had managed to detain this strange new creature others – from seemingly out of nowhere – began to appear all across the world – as if what had happened at the power plant had merely triggered a chain reaction. It was not long after this that the people and pokemon of Earth found themselves under siege from a force that humans themselves had an unintentional hand in creating.
And then finally, after over a century of fighting, humanity finally caved in. By then most of the world’s resources had either been completely devoured by the mutants or had become so rare that attempting to locate them would be a fruitless endeavour. Many pokemon, affected by the radiation emitted by the now destroyed power plant, had mutated to the point where they barely resembled pokemon at all. The air became tainted with this same radiation and the sky – once a brilliant shade of blue – changed to that of a murky shade of ochre, as if it too had been poisoned by the disaster that had taken place over a hundred years ago.
Thus, gathering what few supplies and unaffected pokemon they could find, humanity finally abandoned planet Earth in one last desperate attempt to save itself from total extinction. One month after this plan was put into action the rockets, containing as many healthy people as possible, were shot up into space to find a new planet to colonise.
But not everybody got to leave…
Information
You take the role of a person left to fend for themselves on Earth. You could’ve been one of the many who could not afford the price to board one of the rockets, or were perhaps excluded due to your criminal record. Regardless of where you came from your situation is clear: you are stuck on a planet that had nearly everything taken from it and very little to give back.
Desperation has driven you from whichever one of the other three islands of Aloha to what remains of Ula’ula Island and the ruins of Malie City, where rumour has it that there are still some supplies yet to be found. What your character does not know, however, is that your arrival to this island is going to trigger a huge change to the world that you’ve been forced to live with. This change will be influenced by your actions as both players and characters and I will be keeping watch over what you all decide to do and say, so be very careful – your words may come back to haunt you in either the worst or best ways ~
Should you decide to sign up and if your character sheet be approved, then more information will follow from me via PM – bear in mind that the information that I may (or may not) disclose to you might not be given to every player, so take as much as you can from the messages I send.
The Rules
- All standard RPG rules apply.
- The usual combat rules apply too – no godmodding, powerplaying and so on and so forth.
- Only one character per player.
As for the rating - I'm going to play it safe and go with an R, considering that this is a survival/cosmic horror RP. If you're not into that sort of thing then this RP might not be for you.
The Sign-Up Form
Name: (Simple enough).
Gender: (See above).
Age: (20 years old at the very least, 60 years old at the most).
Appearance: (6 lines minimum).
Personality: (See above).
History: (You MUST include details about why they got left behind when humanity evacuated Earth. All I ask is that you make it believable).
Weapon: (I’m going to be fairly liberal about this considering the futuristic apocalypse setting I’m working with here. Anything is game as long as you make it believable and I’ll let you know if it isn’t).
Other: (Anything else you’d like us to know about your character?).
Pokemon Partners
The radiation from the Power Plant has claimed a lot of species, and most of these once helpful creatures have either died out or are now mutants. As a result, unaffected pokemon are hard to come by. Everyone in this RP will only be able to have one pokemon at their disposal and this will be for the entire RP. You won’t be able to catch or obtain new pokemon.
Name: (Simple enough).
Species: (While I will allow shiny pokemon I would like to keep them to a minimum. Any pokemon is fine as long as it isn't a legendary).
Personality: (Two lines minimum).
