inutes turned to hours
hours to days
and days turned to years.
there’s nothing left of the world of old, crumbled foundations and the act of mothers nature reclaiming her home. but yet there still was a plague, a plague that cling to the world like flies on dead flesh. an infection took control of everything, what was once yours was stripped away— life that we knew it was stripped away and there was nothing we could do about it.
how much would you take before cracking, how much would you accept before crumbling. mother nature had reached that point, she broke her vow to do no harm— watching her children die for nothing, tortured for nothing, it became ti much and cracked her ever bleeding heart. we were punished for our sins, we needed a reminder that we weren’t the big dogs we liked to think we are— a simple reminder that we are nothing in this world and it could all be taken away.
mother nature took control that day
mother nature took back her home
she did what was needed
call her what you will
but there wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for her children.
nothing.
On August 2013 was the start of her plan. the discovery of Cordyceps fungi was the discovery of all discoveries— the end of humanity. a fungi that attached itself to as many humans as possible and will never let go, eating away at their brains and leaving only their body— who they once were, were no more. a puppet for the infection, a puppet filled with fungi and rage. started in the lands of south america, it took no time to spread to every corner of the world— it’s only goal was to infect as many as it could.
there is no cure
there is no vaccine
there is no winning
mother nature made sure of that.
it only took 4 months for the infection to take complete control of the world, 60% of the world was either infected or dead. how quickly the world can be overthrown by a little mushroom, how unprepared humanity was in the face of infection— mayhem and chaos soon took over the rest of the world. what little control the authorities had they clung onto it as much as they could, but there is only so much they can do— humanely. it might have taken the infection only 4 months to destroy the world, it only took the reminder of humanity two in creating a dictatorship in a way.
they didn’t wanna call it that
but that’s what it was in certain parts
they cant control everything
but what they could
they kept it locked in an iron cage.
for the next 80 years, the way we once knew life was now over. learning that we were on the bottom of the food chain, to submit to the powerful force that was the new world was fast and swift— yet some still couldn’t figure it out.
humans were no longer on the top
but were we ever?
nature was in charge and our way of life was no more.
that we must get use too.
concrete jungle was now just a jungle, most motorized vehicles were no more, the air was crisp and the water was clear. those that new of the old world have begun to grey, children of this new fate knew nothing of what was before, only this new reality. 80 years since the discovery of Cordyceps, 80 years since the first slaughter, 80 years since the bombings and the mayhem. society has learned to make do with what they have, creating their own towns and villages, giving up modern ways to working with the land.
in order to survive one must sacrifice their own wants and needs
fighting together is the only way
but it seems that mother nature has begun to be generous, as the birth of the new generation has begun to show signs of immunity— but little is known beyond that, besides the few physical characteristics that show the signs. still rare in its numbers, perhaps it’s a sign that a new age is coming— that they can begin to live less in fear. the births of the immune started about 20ish years ago and 20 years ago is when the start of new problems.
the arrival of these new variety of person sparked a controversy over the lands, what should be done or shouldn’t be done— if people are being born immune, then a cure can be made right? a hypothetical question and yet something that made people feral, an undying thirst to challenge the unknown. it sure seems that the fallen ruin of the W.L.F’s have caught on to this theory, latching upon sworn enemies as a means to reach their new goals— to take control of what was once there’s and force the government and everyone around to their knees, they can do anything they want if they truly have a cure.
what would you do if you had the chance to save the world.
roles
roles.
FYI
info
these are just the typical roles that a group would need and some are just random fun ideas i thought of. but i’m willing to let you create your own for the sake of creativity and me lacking any brain power to think of actual roles. as long as it fits the vibe of the thread and doesn’t mess with the already written roles i have created, then you may do as you please. if you have questions you can always DM me if you want.
The Wannabe Leader
open
they have been given the duty of leading this group, whether they wanted to or not— they were chosen by the council. perhaps they are scared of failing, getting someone killed, feeling inadequate for the role or all of the above, one thing is for certain is that they wear their anxiety like a coat. will they become the lead their team needs, or will the rest of the group have to pull the dead weight.
Death Angels
open (2)
aside from the old timer, these two have seen more action then they should have to carry. toughest and roughest of the bunch, these two have shown great prowess of protecting the sanctuary and clearing the infected from their lands— given a heavy task of aiding the rescue team with two experienced killers. perhaps they felt guilty of the attack somehow, letting their people get kidnapped… in reality it was no one’s fault, but perhaps it’s a lingering feeling or maybe it’s not.
The Golden Scalpels
open (2)
skilled at the craft of healing, they have utilized everything that nature has given them and have applied it to human medicine. the medics are one of the most important people in this rescue mission, without them our fallen will simply succum to their wounds. aren’t on the front lines when shit hits the fan but are still expected to hold their own when needed.
The Reckless Royalty
open
a child of the council, has been coddled and keep from seeing what the real world is. having had never left the comforts of the sanctuary, the reckless royalty has yet to find the need to learn the skills it’s meant to be in order to survive the outside world… but why would they? they have everything they need here and yet they desire to know what’s out there and perhaps this rescue mission is just what they need. a bad decision on their part, naive and thoughtless— they set foot after them, lurking in the background until they can’t no more. they will either be consumed by what lurks in the shadows or they will become something they never thought they’d become— it’s their choice.
The Old Timer
taken
found within his own little property, the team had been tasked to retrieve this veteran of a sorts. a person that’s been around, has seen what’s out in the world— they helped build the foundation of the sanctuary and yet they’ve found themselves still in debt, the old timer is bound by their own word to help them in any time and this is it— a bitterness inside them makes them hostile towards the rescue team, but no one can question their undying knowledge and resources. they are meant to keep the team in the right direction, keep them from dying and using every trick they have underneath their sleeve.
rules
rules.

rule three.
you have full creative freedom for your characters, i will not limit you as to what your character is however i please ask that you don’t make them overly powerful and such as it makes it boring and unfair for others.
— the roles your characters have can be of your own creation, but make them make sense— has to relate to the setting, if you need help with that send me a message!
