The Day of Sorrow
They did everything they could,
But it wasn't enough,
Now we all sit upon the brink of extinction,
Everything we are,
erased,
as if we never existed.
Our world was always populated with 'heroes'. People born with extraordinary powers, they were rare. one in a million births one would arrive and either protect the world, or wish to usher it to extinction. Our world had hit a point were contact with the civilizations of the stars was possible, and the call we received back...Was that of war.
Hundreds of armies, all under different flags, saw the possibility of a world like ours becoming a presence in the universe, so they sought to destroy us all.
The Heroes, Villains, and as many people of the human race put together, fought on a global scale as they attacked. All finding the same purpose that made them all equal; Survival. It was a massacre that would left not only our planet, but the universe in pain from the scars it left behind.
There were devastating losses on all sides. Billions of lives lost, and the world itself was forever changed by the war. The attacking armies, what was left, ran away when they were still outnumbered by the survivors, and the heroes that were caked in blood of their allies.
But the damage had been done. Most if not all cities were completely destroyed, the Human races population reduced to a meager handful, the environment ruined and scarred forever by the carnage of the war. And the Heroes that banded together, were even smaller in number.
Twenty years, after the war that broke apart the world, small settlements of people gather on the shorelines of broken continents. Trying to cling to survival. But radiation,chemical and bio weaponry have changed the fauna of the world. Creating monsters in the ruins, giant beasts, and terrible creatures of horror inspired imagination.
What Heroes remain fall under three groups now.
The Wanderer
The Broken, the forlorn. Heroes that no longer wish to deal with the human race. Either because of bad history, or that they see no point in protecting a race doomed to die. They keep to themselves, mainly using their powers to make a living. If they have any interaction with people at all, they try to keep it short in order to not grow attached. For it was their emotions and connections that left them broken. The Guardian
Protectors, the kind. Heroes who still wish to help humanity. There are one to two heroes that will stay inside a town and guard it with their lives. Either from the monsters, or from Darklings. They will put everything they are to protect the people that are left, for they refuse to surrender to darkness.
The Darkling
Darklings are heroes that have gone dark, consumed by the dark forces, they seek to destroy what is left or to enslave it. Whether they were good or always evil does not matter, for they seek to rid of the hope that lingers in the ruined world.
Will you protect what Is left? Or will you abandon it?
Overview:You can play from the three types of heroes, or the normal humans that are trying to survive. Events will occur such as monster attacks, Darkling Related events, and normal interaction. If there is more interest I would be interested in adding more in terms of new plot lines and stories. But for now this is a work in progress.
RulesThis will be freeform based roleplay, any PC fighting with PC's must be conversed with the other player, if no agreement is settled then it will be a dice roll by GM. This role play kink wise is open to all, just don't force a kink someone does not like on them, otherwise you may end up being the odd one out.
