This is why we have red shirts. Also I'm not too experienced in Inkarnate, but I'll try my hand.

I mean...you say there's going to be a lot of death...
Which makes me nervous about permadeath, personally.

Good. Then it's already working.

It's pretty easy to get a hang of it. If you can try to keep the location names but other than that do what your heart contents.

Permadeath looks fun now. Especially if we reach the point in plot where the group has no idea how they will survive.

Exactly. I'm not gonna be cruel and only allow you one character to apply with (probably a maximum of 3 characters), but you will not be able to re-apply once killed off.

I plan for the difficulty go shoot upwards whenever the group enters a Pre-Cat Ruin, as explained by the monsters I've created.

Wait, do we have ballistic guns or just whatever we can fashion out of the resources we can find?

Basically, Post-Cat weapons are made of wood, scrap metal and whatever else the weaponsmakers can get their hands on. More militaristic and professional factions have a more standard issued weapon that they can easily make in a line production fashion, while more peaceful factions will have a bigger discrepancy in their weapons.

The weapons will be bolt action, pump action or weapons that are required some sort of manual action in order to activate the weapon. Any other weapons will be unavailable and don't exist in ORCA__.

Some of my stuff may be a bit delayed, found out I have a test this Friday so...yeah, minimal time in creating NPCs and cultural backgrounds with maps.

[Ontorisa]

Right, I'll post a rough draft of the OOC here in the next few days.

Hello,

If you are reading this message, then something terrible has happened. When AMNESTY Industries first started, our purpose was to deliver the most cunning edge Artificial Intelligence to humanity as well as the best energy [Error, Data Corrupted] Our scientists at the time had found out that a new type of energy, known as Molten RASH-18, was one hundred times more reliable than the most stable nuclear reactor, and could power fifty times the area than nuclear power could even dream of.

Of course, [Error, Data Corrupted] we needed to be the first to use the RASH-18 energy. And we did, initial tests and mining proved successful as we powered the entire city of New York for a week, with a 5 gram sample of RASH-18. We thought the environmentalists were crazy. The biggest city on the face of the planet had been powered for a week with a 5 gram sample, what could we accomplish with the rest of the world? Hubris got the best out of all of us, and from here at the board of directors, we sincerely apologize for this.

Back in 2371, we had not expected the consumption of RASH-18 at this rate to have such disastrous consequences centuries later. However, it should have been expected. Our branches in China reported [Error, Data Corrupted]

ay be too late.

God save us all.

ORCA__ is a post-apocalyptic RP taking place in a different Earth than the one we know today. Crippled by an event only known as
The Catastrophe, Earth has seen its planet spin stall and its geography significantly change. In this Post-Catastrophe society, many had initially spoke of a savior called ORCA, meant to revert the geographical changes to Earth, but the problem was that no one found ORCA and it was never activated. Eventually, hopes turned to memories, and those memories eroded until ORCA became a rumor, and those rumors eroded until the promised savior, as only a children's story, about the savior that was supposed to be, but never happened.

Many still believe that ORCA can be found in the Pre-Catastrophe ruins, which are now overrun by demons, as many call them. Few dare to enter these ruins, mainly scavengers and cultists, and of those who enter, it is rare for one to return.

You are on a mission to find ORCA. Whether if it is money, promises or a simple hope that motivates you, the desire to find ORCA has sparked your interest enough to risk everything to find it. Even your own life.

Players initially will start off together in one of the big cities with them being recruited for the "gold rush" to find ORCA (a new rumor has renewed interest in the supposed hero). They will be guided by both the OP's and Co-OP's posts in order to find ORCA. Players will be allowed up to 3 characters, but please be warned, when your characters are killed, they are gone, and you will not be allowed to re-apply.
