Introduction
“In the year 20-something-or-other, the world went to shitake mushrooms. WWIII occurred, the US and Russia blew each other to fuck with nukes, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama joined together as dictators of the New Confederate States of America, Godzilla attacked Tokyo, the aliens invaded, Katy Perry turned straight, and China stopped putting obscene amounts of lead in their child toys (no shit).
Because of all the above, Chuck Norris got really pissed and roundhouse-kicked the whole of humanity into the sun, incinerating every man, woman, and child that was still alive on this godforsaken planet. However, he decided to leave a few persons alive to rebuild the human race. And by the way, there... is... no.... spoon.”
At least that's what the big flashy screen just outside of their now open life-pods told them. When the chosen people (all teens and young adults who have no remembrance of what happened) stepped out of the house wherein they were kept, they found themselves on the outskirts of Chicago. Now, they must do their best to survive in this world of unknown terrors. What evil creatures of scary evilness lie in wait in the shadows, ready to play paddy-cake with claws, chainsaws, and obscenely fluffy teddy bears? They’ll just have to find out.
Summary
Hello to you all. This is your favorite OP Lith with another one of my crazed rps. Unlike To Kill a God, this rp is to be in the survivalist horror genre. Your characters will be forced to scavenge for food, weapons, medicine, and other supplies necessary for survival. They’ll get the chance to create the new world’s first government, craft new religions, build shelters, create weapons, fight baddies, and even make babies (pregnancy is allowed, although things of this nature must remain within NS’ PG-13 rules, obviously. And yes, there are bonuses for getting pregnant). Fuck, whatever you could do in the real world, you can do here. Well, anything you could do in a world wherein you and your little groupie are the only humans on this planet.
So, experiment with things. You never know what bonuses (or punishments) you might get as a result.
Powergrid
For this RP, we are going to be using a modified form of Nightkill's powergrid for Elfen High. The OP and Co-OPs will personally decide the outcome of your actions based mainly upon your character's powergrid.
For the Basic Powergrid, you start with 13 points overall, with up to 4 points in any category.
Rewards and Punishments
If any of your character’s strengths listed in your app falls under one of the grid's categories, you may automatically add +1 point to that category. Conversely, if one of your character’s weaknesses falls under one of these categories, you must automatically take away 1 point from that category.
(Note: You may add +1 point to your character’s category even if that category has maxed out the number of points that initially may be allotted. Thus, Roe Wade has maxed out his INT category at 4 points. Nevertheless, because one of his strengths is his intelligence, he adds another +1 points to his INT, resulting in 5 points for his INT.)
Basic Powergrid
For your Weapons Proficiency grid, you may start with 17 points with up to 3 points per category.
Rewards
If your character's bio stated that she has received formal military training, add +2 points to handguns, sub-machine guns, assault rifles, and sniper rifles.
If she was involved in street fighting, add +1 to blunt, knives, and handguns.
If she received some form of paramilitary or guerilla training, add +1 points to handguns, sub-machine guns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, non-projectile explosives, and explosive projectiles.
If she was involved in a martial art that utilizes swords or knives or spears, add +1 to swords, knives and polearms.
If she received police or SWAT training, add +1 to handguns, blunt, and shotguns.
If she was a lumberjack (holy fuck, that would be a sight to see) or a firefighter, add +1 to axes.
If she was a hunter/woodsman, add +1 to bows, shotguns and rifles.
(Note: If your character qualifies for two or more, overlapping rewards, only one of those rewards may apply to the overlapping categories.)
Weapons Proficiency Grid
Rules:
1. As the OP, whatever I say goes. This is not to say that I don't want you to voice your ideas or opinions about the story, or to give me help in shaping it. Rather, I have the ultimate say.
2. Obey the CO-OPs (Hetland 2). Only I can contradict someone with that awesome authority.
3. No one-liners, at all. Remember, quality is most often better than quantity.
4. No godmodding.
5. If you are leaving the RP, please notify me in the OOC or through TG.
6. If a player is absent for 2 days without notifying the OP, their character will be taken over by the OP or Co-OP until the player returns. If a player is absent for more than 7 days without notifying the OP, their characters will be killed and the player will be booted out of the RP.
7. Most importantly, don't be a jack-ass. Treat everyone with the same respect that you want them to give you. If you cause too much trouble, I'll shove my combat boot so far up your ass that you'll be coughing up rubber for the next week (basically, I'll ban you permanently from this rp).
8.If you have a problem with a decision made by myself or one of the CO-OPs, let us know OOC. However, do not be a bitch about it. Rather, respectfully (without sarcasm) bring the issue to our attention, and we will make our final decision accordingly.

First official OOC Prize Test:
What will the first successful ship for this RP be?
If you guess correctly (and don't force a ship), your character (and the two lucky characters from the successful ship) will gain a prize.
The prize could be anything from a better weapon, to getting to choose what clothing they get, to getting +1 for your powergrid. So, good luck!!!
