Before I start this, I just have to say that this is not another zombie apocalypse game. There's plenty of games like that, but this is supposed to be at least Semi-realistic. For more info, see the "What this is" and "What this is not" sections below. Thank you!
The threat of global catastrophe has never been greater.
The chain of events, that could unravel our society, could come from anywhere, and without warning.
Imagine a world, without government, food, water, or power.
Government authorities say it's "not if... but when"... a moment in the future when, just as it has in the past, some catastrophe sparks mass destruction, leaving humans challenged to find shelter, heat, food, water and defense.
tragic events like cathrina, and 9/11 shows that all the things we take for granite, can be destroyed with terrifying speed.
Home lan security tells us to prepare for 72 hours after a major disaster. But what happens if there is no home lan security?
No law, no one to help you.
If you survived a catastrophic disaster, you would probably emerge into a very different world.
Everything will have changed. The people you might meet, where you get food, water, how you make shelter. Police wont exist, or they can't be trusted.
-Another 'Zombie Apocalypse' game (But note that certain types of 'Infection' MAY exist)
What this IS:
-A test of survival, against a post-apocalyptic world, where you must find food and resources, travel to find a place where to live and protect it from intruders. Meet other survivors, and be careful of who you befriend.
The style of the game: (if you are not very fond with these things, you might not enjoy this game)
-Post-Apocalyptic, Survival, Apocalypse, (A little bit Steampunk, dark.
Name: Gender: Age: (15 or older please, I know there are some 'survival kids' out there but let's keep it realistic..) Appearance: (Not much is needed, just something so I can think of your character when playing. It helps) Type: (Choose with one word, what kind of a person would you be. For example: A survivor, A raider, A Shopkeeper.. ect.) Traits: (One good and one bad, for example: Quick, Not too smart) ----- Backpack: (Decide 4 not too overpowered things. For example: Steel wire, A lighter, whiskey, canned food. But no pistols or anything like that at this point, if at any point of the game because this is supposed to be realistic.) Scrap: 0 (see below) Radioactivity: 0/100 (You better keep this low, unless you want to be a pile of glowing green stuff) Hunger: 0/100 Thirst: 0/100
'Scarp': Scarp is the official currency/building resource in this post-apocalyptic world. Money wont have any use, bolts, scrap metal and such, in the other hand are more than useful.
Well. I guess there's nothing more to say at this point. More story will be added once you join.
Ps: Before you ask, yes the players are probably in the same world, in the same area, they are recommended to interact in whatever way they find good.
Pss: I'm not sure how many players I'm gonna take, the original plan was to keep it simple so a lot of players would be able to join.. but it's not really too simple now. If it gets too complicated for me to keep up, then I'm not gonna take new players in, but I'm sure that's not gonna happen right away.
Well I hope this works. What are you waiting for? Join! (If you want to)

Yes, perfect.
You wake up between 2 collapsed houses, in an alley. It's mid-day, even though it's hard to know apart from night since there's fog everywhere, and it's pretty dark. You don't know how long it's been since all this started, you don't know why you were sleeping in that alley.. I mean you even have a backpack full of stuff. Maybe you passed out.. but when? For how long? Well it doesn't really matter now, because you're awake now, and you know this is the first day of your survival in this mess. How do you start?
(getting out of the alley and looking at your surroundings would be advised, but I'm just gonna give you a turn to post now)

Well, firstly look at the stuff around me, maybe there's something I could use. Then exit the alley silently and look around.

The alley has 2 thrash cans, some concrete rubble fallen from the buildings.. This all looks like useless scrap to you at first. But then you realize that it's the point of it. You find some scrap. (most of it is just unidentifiable scrap, but what stands out to you is 2 metal pipes. You take them.) After looking around the alley, you decide to carefully exit the alley. You see a road that goes through this city, you are on the other side of it, on the sidewalk. There are buildings beside the sidewalk (as in a normal city), not too tall, maybe 2 floors each. They are all pretty much brought down and they have plants growing around them. Because of the fog, you don't see very far, but from here you don't see anyone around. You get chills because it's like a ghost town. Really silent. Only some leaves rolling down the sidewalk. Where do you go?

You start walking to the direction of the road, so you could get out of the town. After walking a while, you start to hear barking. You stop for a moment to see what it was.. but it's probably far away. The houses over here are in better shape, not completely broken, and don't look like over grown gardens. But you notice many of the houses have doors broken.. this means forced entrance. You don't know if it has happened weeks-, months-, or 5 minutes ago, so you should be careful. You're starting to doubt if this is the safest way to get out of the town.. (I'm just gonna give you a post again, I don't want to write too much and find out you wanted to do something at the middle of my post. That would suck.)

Well.. there's.. There's the houses with broken doors.. nothing much out on the sidewalk though.. There's a manhole that leads to the sewer in the middle of the road if you're interested in that by any chance. Other than that, you would have to take a closer look at the houses if you wanted to find something. You hear the barking again, and this time it's closer.
It took a little while to realize something.. that fog is not too healthy. You been walking there for some time now, it has a little effect on you. Nothing major though so don't worry.

The sewage system is like a highway right out of the city. You try to lift the iron manhole cover, but it's too heavy. You could use the steel wire and metal pipe to lift it, but right in the middle of your thinking, a rabid dog jumps in front of you. It's drooling white drool and it's eyes are red, it's staring at you and growling. What do you do?

Use the lighter to scare it away, if it doesn't work prepare to swing the pipe when it charges at me, aiming for it's head.

Yeah that's alright, I just added the energy.
[b]You're eyes are blurry. You're looking at a road, as your eyes get into focus. You're not sure what happened, but you look up and see that your on a road that leads to a city. there is some trees around, not a lot of buildings, maybe a couple of shacks off in the distance. It seems you have been standing here for some time, I guess you just lost track of everything for a while. So, where will you go?
