This is based off of the reality TV show, "The Colony".
You live in the post-apocalyptic world, destroyed by nuclear war. You arrive at an old abandoned warehouse, the colony, and must find a way to survive with the people that are with you. You have to find food, water, weapons, tools and other things that can help you survive. Be wary, as the people that you are forced to live with may be either friendly or hostile.
Character Sheet: Only fill in the subjects in parentheses.

Unlike the TV show, you will be surviving long-term instead of escaping to somewhere else.
Name: Jack Bartholomew Age: 38 Gender: Male Bio: Jack used to live in the mountains of Canada, near the U.S. border, by himself. He didn't care about the government, he hunted and harvested whatever he needed, and he always had escape plans ready for the zombie apocalypse that he was sure would come one day. And though he was a bit off, he was right about the apocalypse part. So he came down from his home with some guns and supplies, but they were confiscated and he was forced to be sent to the colony, which is where he is now. ---------- HP: 100/100 Status: Healthy ---------- Inventory: None Equipped Weapon: None Tools: None ---------- Trust: 0 Nickname: Stone

You arrive at the colony with your friend, Alex(NPC). You open the chain-link fence and enter the warehouse, where you will be living indefinitely. You hear footsteps behind you, and when you look back you see two people(Unkown)

There's a short story to why that happened, but to save time I'll just call it a typo.
And you can just continue by reading his posts until the conversation is over.

You arrive at the abandoned warehouse you were sent to a few days ago. When you go inside you see four people already in a conversation(Alpha791, Unkown, 2 NPCs).

Sorry for DP, failed to notice his post above yours.
"No, we were living in Washington and I was a mechanic. Barely scraped out a living and might not have if it wasn't for my friend here. We managed to survive initial bombing and were sent here. Who are you?"

"Oh. Alright. Guess we're gonna be roommates for the next few years or so. As for me, you can call me Stone, and as for how I got here, well, I don't feel like telling the story right now... In short, I knew this would happen, I got ready, government took away everything, and I came here." I yawn and look around our new 'home.' "Think there's a way out?"
