Survivors 'Texas Rising' beyond they fifth wave. Open recruitment

[Elven Sex Goddess]

Survivors 'Texas Rising'  beyond the fifth wave.

The others have come, aliens that came from the far reaches of space.   With one objective to take over the earth,   to claim it as their own.   To do that they would need to exterminate the current resident species of the planet, the humans.    This came about in a series of what is termed the waves. 

First Wave: Lights Out: During the first wave, the Others release an EMP wave that takes out all electronics/lights/technology and kills half a million people by shorting out all moving vehicles, including planes in mid-flight.

Second wave: Surf's Up: The Others, realizing that roughly 40 percent of Earth's population lives within 60 miles (97 km) of coastline, drop enormous rods "twice as tall as the Empire State Building and three times as heavy" (45) onto the Earth's fault lines, causing massive tsunamis that wipe out three billion people.

Third wave: Pestilence: The Others launch a scheme to infect as many remaining survivors as possible with a deadly virus. Using the Earth's birds as carriers (via falling excrement), the plague claims 97 percent of remaining survivors. The virus, which resembles an advanced form of Ebola, causes victims to slowly bleed to death until eventually "you've become a viral bomb. And when you explode, you blast everyone around you with the virus".

Fourth wave: Silencers: After the 3rd wave, the remaining human population tries desperately to survive off whatever resources remain by looting, all the while clinging to the hope that "the people in charge", wherever they may be, are working toward a solution.  However the aliens have been to earth before and sleeper agents had been placed on earth.   Those sleeper agents awaken now.  Activated and they will begin the hunting of humans in the quest to exterminate all humanity from planet earth.   

Fifth wave: The children captured during the 4th wave are taken to the Others' primary Earth military compound and are desocialized and then resocialized to execute one goal: kill the remaining human population. This is accomplished through a rigorous boot camp in which children, some as young as five years old, are issued weapons and are expected to follow orders given by commanding officers (whom the children have no idea are not human). During boot camp, the Others convince the children that the "aliens" have taken over human bodies and it is paramount that they (the children) eradicate them. In essence, the captured children are the 5th wave.

Our story is about a group of survivors set starting in west Texas.   For resistances has formed and humanity is fighting back.   Our group are a party that is nomad and have been fighting a guerrilla style warfare against the others and their sleeper units.    Moving from refugee town to refugee town across west Texas and neighboring states by horseback.   As if they were in the old west.  This group will be five minimally to start the game.
