(Been a while since I last tried one of these so forgive any issues.)
Where once stood grand civilization and lush jungles now stands nothing.
Adventures can lead to a lot of different events, some good, some bad. But all in all most adventures usually carry one purpose: To prevent something that can lead to danger. Normally that would be the case here, however it is sadly not. The event has already past, devastation was to be expected for the last decade, mass extinction was common and almost accepted by the end. Once glorious cities had been decimated, nations laying in the dust of their once proud history. Not even nature was spared from the wave of death, for what was once lush forests and wide grasslands now remain as either barren and desolate wastes or charred shells of what they once had been. The heroes that had once stood up against the threat had been forgotten following their failure and those who stood for it had too been swallowed by what they thought would of made them powerful and respected. Yet no one saw the event as the same thing, some saw it as nuclear bombs and fallout, some saw it as hordes of monsters and demons rising from the ground around them, some saw it as civilization just shattering around them as people began to riot and kill each other, and some simply saw it as a storm of endless darkness as it rained fire upon those good or bad.
But alas, the worse is now over. The darkness has finally receded, the fires have ran out of places to spread, the monsters and demons being crippled by the other disasters forced into mountain areas where they're forced to hide in unnatural fog, the few who remain have started to claw their way back out of hiding. Currently morale is almost non-existent, looking at the husk of what used to be the world, some went mad just looking at it. Some of us have hope for a better future, perhaps by some miracle life may return to the dead forests and cities. No matter if all of this either ends in the final glimpse of hope ends in a sad flicker, or if it is possible to pull above and end up stronger than ever, no matter the ending, what's important now is to fix what is broken and rebuild civilization, is it possible to bring it back to where it once was? Maybe yes, maybe no.
Also the question still remains. Is it all truly over? Has the worst actually passed?
-All characters welcome but try to keep it fair in terms of powers/abilities, note that a lot of this roleplay will carry over the idea of danger, and as a result of this it is preferable that your character carries the fear of death (Try to balance strengths with weaknesses in terms of abilities as well, for example if your character can fly: Have it so that flying is not a preferable option, IE it wastes a lot of energy, and in a place where resources such as water and food are rare, energy is the best resource your character will have).
Rules:
-This roleplay doesn't contain any majorly graphic points, but it does contain rather grim descriptive elements and with that, a couple points of gore, violence, and disturbing moments
-Avoid the obvious breakers of roleplaying (Meta gaming, Auto hitting, God modding, etc)
-As always be nice to each other, consider your action before posting.
-Try to keep OOC posts to minimum when the roleplay is on-going.
-Try not to hold center stage, allow others to give their parts.
-Character building is important for characters of any type, good or bad, and I want to encourage this here. Just to note this idea is not concrete, it will be removed if necessary, but if you want a roleplay event that centers around building your character in some way, please tell me about it and we can discuss it. Once a idea is set I will announce it in the chat and it will be decided by a tally if the idea will go forward.
-Being the one who is trying to set up a story, I wish to know how everyone feels while doing it. So if you have any issues, complaints, or just simple critique you want to give please speak it out, the last thing I want is for someone to feel as though they are having less enjoyment roleplaying due to the story surrounding it.
-Combat is...tricky to say the least, currently the best solution I can come up with is to have the battle pre-planned or keep it loose for the people who are uninterested in possibly losing a character, in roleplay terms fights and battles are best kept rather summarized to prevent a lot of dragging

Some magic. Few can use it, but most of the players probably won't have it. Magical characters will likely believe that they are all alone.
Further future, perhaps visit mars or upload your brain
Distant war may be part of the setting, but any scenes that happen to involve combat will likely be summarized, not played out in detail.
Details: Freeform, adjustable length posts, long-term RP partner preferred.
My further apologies for the quality of the post, I'm trying to edit some of the issues as I find them when going over
Apologies if I missed it but how many players are you looking for and are you only gm’ing or playing a character as well? [:

Nah you haven't missed anything, i'm looking for 3 or 4 other people and i'm doing kinda both in regards to my participation (Although the character I will have following along in the party will be mostly more of a companion type character, mainly in the fact he will have little to do in regards to choices and story progression, mostly he will only be there for combat, trading, and a select few story bits)
I'd be interested in this if this character is acceptable.
