I proposed sometime last year and am now getting actual interest. So I will re-post the idea for further consideration.

In 2010 a giant meteorite hit Central America and broke the North and South American continents in two. The resulting impact caused a second ice age. Most of the civilized world is in the thin strip of warmth known as the equator. Known as the Equatorial Union they try to bring humanity back to civilization and have succeeded in places like Brazil and Australia. However most of the world still fits under the mantel of the Wastes. People struggling to survive. Despots making unofficial fiefdoms. Scavengers, and slave lords with their harems and influence.

This role play will take place in a fictional mid-eastern port metropolis called Palamont City, much like Boston. Most people have a den or a compound they like to call home very few people are nomadic, but there are some.

The whole of the role play will take place in the city and the suburbs. No break-off threads unless it's an individual compound or den.
However, the city has a few areas that should be mentioned at the top of the post in bold. This serves to keep the role play flowing on my terms. Self I know but I like continuity.

The Suburbs: Lots of houses for stashes, caches and large dens for families. Some food. Some useful stuff but it's far away from the main city.

Downtown: The once vibrant nightlife sector of town. Movie theaters, the baseball and football stadiums, other places of entertainment. Strip clubs, gyms, etc. Maybe food probably more building supplies and the like.

Commercial District: The office buildings, apartments college campus. Police and fire stations are found here. Some mom and pop joints and pawnshops are dotted around. Libraries parks, schools. Sort of useless in the big scheme of things, but at the center so highly trafficked.

Warf The seaport area, has the old airport and shipyard. Lots of open space until the actual buildings. Lots of supplies hold up in the warehouses. Lots of derelict ships to use as bases or homes. Don't fall in the water alone...

That's about it. Questions, comments, etc. Post them here.

If you're searching the lines for a point, well you've probably missed it; there was never anything there in the first place.

Definately interested.

Probably with a slaver/thug type character, either as a foot soldier/specialist or as a higher up with a "band" of a couple of characters (either very basic npcs or other players). Obviously very rag tag.

I'm going to put you down for it then. You're probably going to want a den or home or whatever you'd call it so. Make up a building and area of town it's in and make a note. I'll take it later.

Very nice. When I get a chance I'll draw up a rough bio and send it off to you.

Also like to express interest.   Can fill the role of a slave, since despots and slave lords.  Some on just trying to survive.

Sure if someone is willing to be a slaver or despot. Someone in that ability. Hell you could just go with the first scavenger and stay in his den. It's pretty open-ended. Just don't object to being traded off. :D A slave is better than some things but never food. Sex < eating

If I added zombies, would that make it more interesting. -.-

I'm thinking of limiting the role play area around one are that has one despot, and one slaver, and peripheries of scavengers on the fringe. I don't know yet though.

I really like this idea, I don't believe that I would be a good writer for it but I will keep a look out for when it goes into action. It reminds me of an idea that I've had in my mind for a bit now, if ever so slightly.

The best of luck to you all.

People fear what they don't understand, But then they get mad because they don't dare to do it, Everybody a shinin' star, they ain't get far so they can't prove it, Most stars foolish, full of gas, useless, Pushin' bad influence, wonder what happened to 'em?, They say hurt people hurt people, guess that is proven, They put on a mask to mask feelings, Fill the universe with mass ceilings, Most people not even tappin' in...♡

Bite your tongue. You'd do fine.
