Three Thousand Club
Introduction
You've only ever known these confines of steel and concrete. Since the Great Flood of 1981, your mother and father have slowly turned away their thoughts from the surface and found renewed propose in God and their only child. Now, it is the day everything will change. Four decades have passed since the blast doors of your Ark have shut. In the year of our Lord 2021 A.D. they shall finally open. You turn to the window of your office to the crowd a thousand strong rippling below in universal anticipation, and watch intently the screen that silences all as it flickers to life above their heads. An elderly woman with a kindly visage appears. The masses trace the wrinkles and scars as you do, and all in attendance ache for one that they have never met. She speaks, and not even the little ones dare to interrupt the peace that she had created.
"A flood of fire has ravaged the surface above, but worry not children, it is not the first humanity has emerged from.
Knowing only how to construct a hull of wood to protect his family, Noah had constructed a mighty ship to weather a mighty storm that would wash away from God's land the impurities of Cain's line.
Water had swallowed the land as hellfire and ashes blanketed all that your fathers and mothers have known and held dear in their youth, but Noah endured and ensured his lineage would thrive long after their peers have drowned in the ruined landscape they had wrought.
Forgive me for the hardships you will endure, but you must now leave the safety of the steels walls that have made up the entirety of your world since birth and venture above into Shinar. My heart cannot bear lying to you. It is a savage, untamed land, but one that must be traversed before it is too late for unification.
Shield yourselves from evil, shield yourselves from uncertainty, shield yourselves - and journey to the Tower of Babel."

The Great Flood
The Great Flood was a thermonuclear bombardment that occurred in 1981. It put the final nail in the coffin for an already fragile world suffering from the effects of unchecked pollution and widespread resource shortages. Many left behind by the children of the Arks declined into savagery or succumbed to the fallout. By all means, the once fertile Midwest Region has become little more than a barren wasteland.
The Arks
Arks are a series of ten vast identical underground fallout shelters built within the Midwest Region of the United States with the intention of sheltering a maximum of a thousand human beings for an intended duration of forty years. Inhabitants of the Arks have been carefully selected from the Protestant population of the country and resettled within the Arks approximately a month on average before the Great Flood occurred. As part of theocratic socialist utopias, citizens enjoyed a level of comfort and entertainment within the Arks that surpassed what many had known above, and a staff of world-class chefs, doctors, and teachers sought to keep the population in good spirits, health, and to equip the populace with the knowledge that would prove vital to both the operation of their Ark and the eventual journey to the Tower of Babel. Effectively brainwashed, kept in check by a security force comprised of ten men and women, and observed by you, the Mother/Father of the Ark, the population of the Arks will emerge as one people united with common ideas, ideals, and identity.

To sum it all up, this RP will be a nation builder set in a post-apocalyptic-retro-futuristic 1980s America, or more specifically, the Midwest Region. Players will assume control of the population of one of ten Arks and journey to a foretold promised land to reconnect with the Tower of Babel, the control center that has communicated with and directed the activities of the Arks since their inception. This RP, inspired greatly by the Fallout Series and Skyshine's Bedlam, will be turn-based and mainly be concerned with resource management and relatively challenging combat as your Arks near the Tower of Babel. You will have to make crucial decisions and respond to a variety of randomly generated encounters and events along your way. This RP will have a maximum of ten players (though those that are interested could join and co-govern an existing Ark or possibly play as those that seek to plunder the Arks and raze the Tower of Babel to the ground) that each select one of ten Arks to play as. No Arks are different from each other as of yet, but if enough people support it I can see about giving each Ark both benefits and little quirks.
If interested, please select an Ark or make a proposition about being a baddie faction after the Arks. Preferably if a baddie faction? Be a Mad Max sort of group of humans and/or mutants. Or if you don't know of that, like the bandits and scavs in the Borderlands series, or the tribalistic convicts and mutated savages in the game Bulletstorm.
Feel free to start a meme war/ask any questions pertaining to the RP while you wait for the RP to progress.
