im back

Hey I was reading your post and it sounds interesting. I only have to characters right now. But I've been bouncing around the Idea of a Goliath character who stands at like 9 feet tall. If that could work I could build him for this RP

Hey guys! I'm still interested too. Let's see what else we can build upon
And of course, working on your character in this would be PERFECT. I actually built up Melina, Evan, and Alex through a group, long-term RP like this.

Im back by the way

may i join?

Yes! I think that makes 5 of us, if everybody's still interested! If you are, welcome back and let's get the story figured out.

I'm definitely still interested! (:

(Okay! Introduce your characters. You can have multiple. This is Rarity, and I'll also introduce Stella.
We can change the story as we see fit, since there's so many opinions and styles of RP. But if you like the story idea so far, then we can just expand on that.)

(This is Stella. I've had her for a while, but given her backstory, I thought she'd mix interestingly with Rarity, who I just created a few days ago.)

I've got to create a whole new character for this. Yay! I'm excited to come up with a whole new character (: any suggestions to make s/he work for this RP?

I think I'm maybe (definitely, probably) too late to this, but I was wondering if I might still be able to say 'I'd be interested!'? c:

Idk if you guys let me join but this is astrol he's mute and holds around a book and pencil to wright down what he's speaking, he's pretty shy too, so it's not easy to make friends with him

I'm not sure if everyone who'd first responded is still interested, so go for it! I don't want the group to get too big, though, so I'm gonna "close" this topic after I post this.
The best advice I can give you about developing a new character for an apocalyptic/on-the-run scenario is to figure out what their magnetic factor is. If this is a fresh post-war zone, there needs to be something that draws our characters to yours, and vice versa. And especially with a survival-type RP, your character must have some kind of survival skills. Fighting, foraging, high stamina, something like that

I think this is the list of us so far:

spider_pig_girl
dragonflame
kaylabayla
JB454SS
FirePaw225
waywardwanderer

I'm cool with 6 people if you guys all are. I'm going to work on writing the full plot for the story. Introduce your character(s), or let us know if you've changed your mind about joining. I'll create a topic once everyone's characters have been introduced and we're all agreed on the plot, then I'll link it here. Sound good?

The kingdom of Valencia had a reputation for being resilient, but that reputation was washed along with the blood of the Eagle Constellation War. The neighboring nation of Orion had decided that the gifted and nonhuman residents were too much of a burden, so they opened an emergency scientific facility. In a mere four months, their population had rapidly decreased, and their military was gearing up on Valencia's border. They gave Valencia, with whom they'd been allied for years, an excuse as to why their military was so prepared. On the surface, things seemed fine, but underneath, tension rose.

Trade continued with Orion. Their medical practices were unparalleled, and so they made a deal with Valencia's high food production rates. It wasn't a conventional form of trade, which is why when the poisonous drugs started filtering in, it wasn't caught until the Orion leaders declared war on Valencia. Trade faltered, only for the declaration, but when gifted/nonhuman Valencian citizens started dying at an alarming rate, it was finally cut off. The Orion leaders released a statement about the "disappointment of their experiment on Valencia, and the cry of war echoed from the other side.

Five long, arduous years later, Valencia had been reduced to a mere skeleton of its former self. The once green, rolling hills were now ashy wastelands. Humans and nonhumans grew to despise one another. Humans blamed the latter for attracting the demise the kingdom met, and the nonhumans blamed the others for being the finger on that same trigger. Alliances formed from the survivors, and instead of a precise map to follow, the roads and communities were being formed miles apart from each other. Walls were built instead of bridges, people worried only for themselves, and survival rates dropped.

It was well-known that the final bomb dropped on the kingdom had been fired by its own military leaders, to stop the war once and for all, but many people oddly still pledged their fealty to their now-nonexistent leaders. These are the people who hide behind their personal community's walls.

The borders to Valencia shut down, guarded by the military of Orion, but the Orion criminals were too quick to be stopped by their own protectors. They would sneak in and vandalize the communities and murder anyone found to be gifted/nonhuman. Valencians were not allowed to leave their destroyed home, making their desired escapes much more difficult. There were only human citizens left in Orion; the nonhumans had either abandoned their hypocritical home or had been killed by it.

Radiation was a worry of the past in Valencia, although many Valencians had either been mutated or made extremely sick by said radiation. This was yet another entry on the growing list of problems.

More than racism against anyone nonhuman, there was the worry of nonhuman nomads (specifically those who have the ability to change shape) infiltrating alliances, posing as their members, and slaughtering/robbing the rest of that group, so once the alliances had been made, the groups were urged to always stick together, especially in eyesight.

Most walled communities and nomad groups had already been established, but this is the story about a group of people, human and otherwise, who make their way across the ruined Valencia, trying to find their way...

(wow this is a really great plot)

Thank you! Any other ideas/additions?

Also, I think watching Astrol in this RP would be interesting, especially since he's a mute. If anyone demanded to know his species/alignment, in this war zone area, he would have no choice but to surrender unless he had a group (which he will!)

Nope not really and

Thanks! and I can't wait for the RP to start im SO excited!

I just want everyone else to at least post their characters on here first, but I'm eager to get started too!

Also, any ideas for a title for this RP would be great. If no one else can think of anything, we can just stick with "Eagle Constellation" or something.

Okay got it, and I'm good with my character too then right?
