The year is 235

And our world is lost

We have no one to blame for the fate that befell the world but ourselves. Years of gross use of resources and fighting led to a Earth that was drained physically and mentally by 220. Of course everyone had a solution for the lack of resources and energy. Most of them were failures, half baked plans that did more harm than good. Only a few were successful in creating new energy sources but none of them were sustainable.

And then came the Icarus Project

Designed to harness the power of the sun itself as an unlimited energy source the Icarus Project was humanity's last hope. Funded by the worlds government and space programs. Icarus was supposed to be a massive space station that would absorb the suns rays and provide it as power for everyone in the world. The fate of humanity itself depended on those brave scientist and their work.

They failed.

What happened to the station is unknown. The station went dark a mere two years after it was finished being built and the scientist were never heard from again. With no help left and no money to fund another option the world finally and truly descended into chaos. The world fought over its remaining resources tearing itself limb from limb as we sunk further and further into the abyss. Nuclear war was never breached and with how little fuel there was left most engagements were bloody and confined. The lack of fuel and resources combined with fighting whittled down the population of earth until there was little to no one left. It is unknown how many people are left in the world. Nature has already started to reclaim the world and parts of the world are starting to experience heavy snow and frost.

It is up to us, the ones who are left to pick up the pieces and clean up the mess our people have left over. To find a way to get back to what our creator wanted for us. We at the temple of the rebirthed can help you with that. Come find us in the town of York on the bridge our grandfathers and mothers once used. There you can find respite from the cold creeping in from the north and safety from the gangs and cut throats plaguing our land All travelers are welcome! Even those not interested in joining our church. The town of York has plenty to do and anyone who is good of heart can find a life here.

Our doors are always open.

And the fires always warm

Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to read this and your interest!

This group role play takes place in a world not plagued by Zombies and or nuclear war. Instead lack of power and dwindling resources are what caused the world to end. The bulk of this story will take place in the small settlement of York which is outside of the ruins of New York City. A encroaching Ice Age is coming as well leading to coler weather, heavy snow, and a rapid display of ice. That can or can not be due to one of the many attempts to make renewable energy. I love a good frozen apocalypse type story which is the main purpose of this.

So the idea is that York is a settlement on a bridge and is open to people trying to start a good life. Of course not every one is honest and so the ACTUAL reason your in York can vary and be dependent on the writer. There will be a few overall missions and mysteries relating to both the Icarus Project and the events plaguing the world.

If interested drop a line and we go from there!

Will this be a sexual dedicated rp? Story dedicated? Have a system to it or will it be homebrew? Will it have battle, social and/or environment interactions? What sort of tools will we have at our disposal, meaning weapons and utility both? What sort of skills will we have? Will we start as normal humans in terms of skills or someway above average?

Not so much sexual dedicated but there will be sex involved!

I think homebrew? I don't know enough about system games to know which one would work best here and to use. I will be GMing though to make thigns interesting and put up challenges for people to overcome.

As for weapons tools and what not that's entirely on you guys and your character profiles! Technically speaking weaponry and what not should still be easy to come by in the world. The main thing will be energy and resources like that. Humanity basically killed itself fighting over what resources and oil were left so I suspect there would be very little in the world now.

Whooo! I feel it's been a long time since we had a good frozen dystopia type story!
