On the storyline Outbreak
This is...
ETᗰYOᒪOGY : OᑌTᗷᖇEᗩK
Prelude: Hello, everyone . Welcome to the new storyline in the Etymology mythos, appropriately called Outbreak. In this story you will accordingly have your characters navigate through the beginning of modern society's downfall as a mysterious virus is unknowingly released into the populace. Those who do not succumb to said virus with their life...they turn into something else. In this prelude, you will have a chance to post your character into the peaceful world through the four venues I've created: stadium, promenade, mall, and convention center. Each location takes place in the city of Degnan, a Midwest city within the United States. State not specified.
Stadium: At the stadium, there is a big playoff game between the Degnan Knights and their rivals the Miami Pistons. You have fans local to the city gathering in large numbers within the stadium, those who came out to support the city's rival team, and those who are participating in tailgate parties before the game in the parking lot. The starting kickoff has yet to happen so not all attendees have made it to their seats. Are you rocking your black and yellow for the Degnan Knights, or your grey and black for the Miami Pistons?
Promenade: Spanning the equivalent of 4 street blocks is the 6th Ave Promenade. The center of the promenade is a straight line that leads from the middle class neighborhoods to the mall. Along said promenade are a total of 75 retailers. No I'm not going to list each retailer. Not all information regarding the environment down to the "name of the store and what discounts they are promoting" will be available until inspected through character interaction or if you ask your DM (me) because it's essential to the manner of which you post.
Mall: Specifically in the Shopping Mall, there is a food court area with 10 restaurants for to-go meals/dining in, as well as a seating area. With the food court there are five high end stores.
Mall (Cont'd): The Mall has three floors: The top floor is for food court and the restaurants, the second floor is for clothing, the third floor is for electronics and street performers. (You will also find certain street performers along the promenade)
Convention Center: Finally you have the convention center which is currently hosting the yearly WonderCon for fans of comic books, manga/anime, and pop culture media such a cinema and television. Fans come from across the nation to attend, meeting artists, actors, writers, and even long-distance friends they share fandoms with. Lets not forget the mass amount of attendees dressing up for the occasion as their favorite fictional characters
HOW PRELUDE THIS WILL WORK: To allow for "character building and interaction" the prelude session will be the setup for your character. You can establish the connections with other characters if worked out with the other participating players. There is nearly limitless freedom within these settings. That means if you want your character to be in a specific store during the prelude posting, then that is fine. The store exists. Everything the character does within the store is possible. Do literally whatever. I'm not saying I don't care but in situations such as this, there has to be a sense of freedom and world building from just my position. The characters are what make the story...I'm just driving the ship.
So, without further prolonging I will be open for questions from this point onward via direct messaging. The venues are up for you to begin your posting. The prelude will be over once a DM post is establishing the beginning of the "INTRODUCTION". That will be hard to miss...I'll literally post "OUTBREAK INTRODUCTION" at the beginning of the post. And remember if you don't know something, it's okay. Don't cry. We're going to see this story through to the end.
