[ Communicate ] [ Deviate ] [ Congregate ]

These are but a few of the plagues pooling in the pit left by the greatest contagion of the 21st century, warmly dubbed ‘Rabid X’ by the populous here and gone. Big Brother has stopped watching in the wake of his devastation, and Mother Nature has in turn begun to recover her fallen child. All around the country, men and women from all walks of life are scraping at the last shreds of their civilization with the single aim of 'maintaining' in their minds... Maintaining their land, their families, and what remains of their conscious and sanity.






In the midst of it all is the Independence Basin, a geographical anomaly in the heart of the Southwesten United States. Here, new breeds of survivalists have swept the arid plains, staking all in the name of perseverance, progress, profit or punishment. Their three primary archetypes have fashioned themselves into clubs of various standing, reigning over the curious range of landscapes smattering the region... And all vying for the very same space, resources and their individual definitions of ideal numbers in the interest of subsistence. And we ought not get started on those that lie on the fringes of this triad, just wishing to fade into the background... or awaiting a chance to pounce.



Where, exactly, do you fit in?





Fort Cheyenne is a Furcadia-based roleplay environment and dream centered around a relatively isolated area spared by the luck of location during a nuclear war against an underestimated disease that turned deadly. It happily houses furres, humans, mutants and tons of species and creations in between, marrying realism with a fantastic twist for those who miss the Golden Age of RP.

We are seeking engaging, dynamic and more than that, active participants to join our ranks and discover a region and a story that ain't yo daddy's post-apoc RP. All walks are welcome, from cantankerous 'back-in-my-day'ers to up-and-coming, bright-eyed twenty-somethings seeking to make a mark on a land unlike the one their parents knew. We'd love to tell you more about who you could become, but really, it's already all right here for you to read.

Still need examples? We're seeking --
Medics, vagabonds, clerks, farmers, real villains, heros we deserve and heros we need, scientists, tinkerers, dowdy housewives, the-girl-next-tentflap, greasy ol' town witches, hovel dwellers, shack Scrooges, Bonnies and Clydes, dreamers, pessimists, rebels, fanatics, bible thumpers, treasurehunters, patriots, thugs, hippies, hobos, pretty young things, weirdos, realists and... and...
And that's just to name a few!

We're even hosting a BETA test for those looking to get in at the ground level and offer some feedback and trialing before our official launch this late fall/early winter!

... So quit sitting around. Come and GET YOU SOME!




FAQs ғᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ Bᴇᴛᴀ

• Why a 'Beta' launch? Why not just open up the dream?
  We've opted to have beta/'pre' or test launch in order to not only see the head of our plotline in action before we loose it to the masses, but, to ensure the integrity of what we've created is maintained. 'Just opening' an environment with this number of variables and ideas in play and expecting others to understand and uphold them seemed not only impractical, but just sorta mean.
  
  
• Okay, so what do you hope to accomplish with this 'Beta'?
  We hope to inspire a small group of players by having the people who know the plot best more personally interact and engage with them quite frequently. We will be there to answer questions and help begin the evolution of characters in all cases. Plus, you'll get some cool perks for helping us cross our 't's and dot our 'i's.
  
  
• Perks? I'm listening.
  GOOD.
  
  Now, while the full Beta write up is right over here, I'll do you a solid and point out the highlights.
  • A look into upcoming updates and progress on the dream itself.
  • Access to a special forum for Betas only where suggestions can be stored and addressed toward more prompt implementation.
  • The chance to hone your character, begin development, establish relationships and get a lay of the land before things pick up in the dream.
  • The opportunity to lay foundation in canon areas of the dream and thus, boost your character's notoriety from the very start!
  • Additional flexible statistic points awarded at the end of the project.
  • A brand new car!* *All cars have been claimed.
  • A snazzy desctag because everyone needs more of those, amirite?!
  
  
• Sweet. I'm in, and I'm an FC guru - I know all the things. I get it, I got it, I love it. It's good. What now?
  You're awesome. And probably a perfect candidate to gear toward something that we intend for the official launch and grand opening: Continuum Reps.
  
  
• Continuum Reps... So what will the purpose of these folks be?
  Continuum Reps would be the FC equivalent to Beekin Volunteers. These are the players who know the story and get the design and embrace both the ongoing direction and to-this-point journey of the dream. But their primary goal is to enlighten others less apt to catch on to it. And this wouldn't be a THIS IS YOUR JOB sort of thing. We'd just like them to help us spread the 'idea' of FC in a more approachable, practical way to others within the dream through things they're already doing: roleplaying and casual conversation in an out of character capacity, or directing folks toward resources available on the RPR site for the dream. In a case where the resources aren't specific enough for a particular case, the Continuum Rep would just point the person to an appropriate staff member to get things taken care of.
  
  
• Betas. Perks. Reps. Covered. But I have more questions!
  Check out the site FAQ here, and for anything above and beyond, just shoot a message to one of the founders below:

'IC Cᴏɴᴛᴀᴄᴛs'
(Just kidding. This is only here for you to do your nosing. We won't tell.)

...This is very, very interesting. I like it! Can't wait to take a peek and maybe put someone together for this.
