Postapocalyptia | OOC [Apps Closed]

[The Carlisle]

Thank you! I don't know how big it is, but its the largest continuous desert on the planet. So I'm gonna say at least 1/4 the size of this side of Rigel-3, maybe up to 1/3. Really big and relatively flat. Everything else is a free for all I guess. Rocky wastes, steppes, mountains, salt seas, or maybe the rare jungle or two.

If the desert is that huge I imagine it would make an excellent location for constant dust storms and unstable, shifting land. Perhaps build a society around ambushing unwary desert travelers - Vagabonds not yet seasoned enough to spot obvious blind spots and ambushes?

Exactly! And also car driving road vikings.

Hey now, I know Mad Max is a great franchise but we don't gotta rip all our ideas from there.

Fine....

They worship Woden. Totally different and not at all related to Odin. Trust me guys, I know my mythology.

I agree. What made postpoc so great was because it was hard to pin down one particular source of influence.

We could have timonium-powered vehicles but I would argue that Vagabonds would probably either go in groups (so they can spread the collateral and afford the vehicles) or they'd be going solo with a pack animal or just on foot (though that might be unrealistic).

The ambushers would most likely only have one or two vehicles seeing as raiding isn't a reliable source of income.

It needn't always make sense. This RP is kind of satirical.

In the first one we drove around in an armoured vehicle called "Lucy", bit like those hippies in the Mystery Machine.

I forgot about timonium. What is the lore behind that? A guy named Tim named it?

If that's the case, we can have a raider religion where they worship the great power Tim.

[The Carlisle]

Oh, don't forget about 'Lil Bit!

It's not necessarily about making sense so much as about the world feeling real. Having caravans of adventurers crossing the desert is something one can really picture, similarly having timonium vehicles be this sort of luxury is something we can easily connect to our world.

So yeah we can have the whimsical Lucy and so forth but it's all gotta fit into the world for it to be entertaining. Like, maybe the team that uses her - like the Mystery Machine - is paid to go bounty hunting or solving mysteries of why caravans disappeared or all that. Can still have crazy characters and mischief but in a world that feels like it should accommodate them rather than having them stick out.

It's in the original OP.

Zed, my new character who's totally not Zee, will be outfitted a cybernetic arm that has an energy wave generator, which totally not the same as Zee's, capable of using Timonium energy cells.

[Mincaldenteans]

I'll copy past the world build stuff we have from the original. All new contributions will be for a new location on Rigel-3

Should have done it earlier but I rushed it.

[Esternial]

This will be Zed's mug

[The Empire of Pretantia]

So you guys are continuing this, ay? I'll be sure to keep an eye on this.

Also, note: time is Greek for worth/price.

[Pan Asian Amercian Coalition]

Oh man I missed this. I wonder what happened to Ayre anyways...

Regardless. I'd love to participate in this, but I'm in two other RPs atm. I will however gladly lurk and help with worldbuilding, and may re-join up later.

[Highfort]

Given the existence of nomads and many former corporations, I'd like to see Great Khan be a site of political unrest, given it's the only bit of civilization for thousands of miles. Perhaps a tiered system similar to Montecristo with the most extravagant and strongest occupying the top of the ship.

[Mincaldenteans]

Oh, don't forget about 'Lil Bit!

Oh I forgot about Lil'Bit! -shoves her into old material stuff-

[Pan Asian Amercian Coalition]

Question: would this be all new characters or could we bring back old ones?

new, preferably.

I'll right up more about Great Khan in a bit.

[Illan]

Always nice to have a prison break; side story or character plot? Either works, of course.




This would be nice. Would it involve/give insight to Zed?


Great Khan City sounds awesome, I'll put that in the reserve post! -nodnod-

I hope it will. It would also give insight to Zee.

Hey! I could be one of their escaped experiment things! That way I could be the special snowflake I wanna be!

I'm already on that. I created BLACKLIGHT as a backstory for my earlier (and new) character.

It serves as more of a side-arc, a backstory, rather than direct plot.

Aw, so I can't be an experimentee?

[Illan]

Do you all mind if I try my hand at worldbuilding a group of folks?

Don't see why not.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Oh, is it coming back?

[Highfort]

I see more minties have arrived.
