Welcome to The Heartland, post-apocalyptic America, 2042. About 30 years ago, the world was ravaged by a rapidly-growing disease known only to the scientists as contagion 204-6b. Over the years, it was adopted by its survivors as 'The Godsend', a extremely contagious, rapidly spreading disease that quickly decimated the earth's population to less than 1%. Now 30 years later, the Godsend, so quick to mutate that its host would die before passing it on, is all but extinct. The plaguebearers now live in exile, usually humans or feral animals.
A year ago, across the continent, three factions battled over control of New Sin City, formerly Oakland, California. These three military factions; The PRO, NLR, and Legion, all fought bravely and lost countless civilian and soldier's lives alike. Now a shell of what they once were, the groups have come to a shaky armistice. Until 5 days ago, when a PRO archivist discovered a shocking secret: A governmental vault in Huntsville, Alabama, that contained a secret that could establish control over all of America. The three factions, agreeing to put aside their differences, established a uneasy truce, and sent their top three field agents: Cpt. Jared of the PRO, Cpt. Lyra of the NLR, and Clr-Sgt. Kell of the Legion, to uncover this artifact. The vault is classified information, and the agents do not know what is inside. But they pack up and set out, armed with supplies, ammo, and equipment fitted into a military jeep. They expect the least. But maybe it's fate that a ragtag band of survivors is on the road to the Vault.....
A FEW THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
1. This RP is a continuation of the RP New Sin City, and will begin with Myself, Fantrum, and Luna's Legion as characters. Don't worry though, the previous RP has no effect on this one whatsoever!
2. You are all part of the same group of survivors, and none of you know about the vault.
3. There is very little guns, ammo, trucks, etc. after 30 years, so the little supplies the agents have with them is a kings' ransom.
4. Feel free to have yor character be related to other players', but make sure you ask first
5. The main threats of The Heartland include plaguebearers, feral animals, and bandits. Be mindful of all three, plus a few others.
6. Make sure to create diverse characters! Children, immigrants, elderly, you pick!
RULES:
1. No godmodding. Period. Meaning, no fights with other characters, etc., unless I give the ok.
2. I am the OP. My word goes.
3. Be mindful of other players.
4. Try to post often.
5. 3-line minimum post-wise.
6. Have fun

Jared quickly rose in their ranks, and became the top agent in the PRO undoubtedly.
