Let's create a Post-Apocalyptic Setting!
« on: July 29, 2016, 03:54:22 pm »

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now, before we begin, I'm going to lay down some rules to keep things organized.

Rules:

1.) When someone posts, they ask a question about the setting, and answer the question the Poster above them asked. Start the Questions with a Q: and the Answers with a A: For example:

Poster 1:

Q: Did whales go extinct after the zombie plague?

Poster 2:

A: No, they prospered because less humans were hunting them.

Q: What's the easiest way to kill a zombie?

And so on, and so on...

2.) No Double-Posting, it takes away from the point of the Thread, which is to see what kind of Post-Apocalyptic Setting the Bay12 Community can come up with.

3.) Try to be original, if at all possible, try to avoid Cliches.

4.) No Post can contradict another Post, For Example:

Poster 1:

Q.) What kinds of Fish evolved after the chemical spills?

Poster 2:

A.) They mostly died out, and the ones that survived were mutated.

Poster 3:

Answer to Poster 1's Question: A.) The Oceans evaporated, killing all of the Fish.

Poster 3's Post is non-canon because it contradicted Poster 2's Post. If enough People (3-5) propose that Poster 3's Post should be canon instead of Poster 2's Post, I'll setup a 24 Hour Poll to vote.

5.) Please be detailed in Your Posts, please post no one-word answers or questions. Paragraphs and/or multi-sentence answers are all highly encouraged, however.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I'll ask a Question to get us all started.

Q.) What caused the Apocalypse in the first place?

A extremely powerful solar flare destroyed the digital infrastructure of Earth. Complete collapse of civilization followed soon after.

America, but only because it night at the time, which reduced the damage ever so slightly. Even so, they had to start from scratch with nothing but manual crank machines for power.

Q) What happened to the countries on the opposite side of the world, which caught the full brunt of the flare?

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

They collapsed and crashed due to hypermutations in their populations.

What is the most common Mutation?

A mutation that causes your skin to grow a hard carapace. You become resistant to common weaponry, but slowly die from dehydration and almost always go insane.

Q) In America's post-apocalyptic society, what is the most sought-after thing?

Gasoline. It's fuel, which is useful for... everything, basically.

Q: What are the major powers/nations of the world?

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

Africa: Because Very little Changed.
England: Because Some People Returned them to the feudal system Quickly
America: Because Most people were Ready for the Apocalypse, Although they went back to Some Very Primative Tech do to how violent the first Months were and how many people died.
Canada: Same as America, just a Lot less Brutal.

((Please note that Africa, as well as the rest of the world, lost basically all of it's digital infrastructure and a large portion of it's workforce due to hypermutations.))

A: There is plenty of techno-mongols raging about. The most prominent faction, the Wasteland Steel Wolves has begun taking control of lands and supposedly managed to secure some korean warships.
Q: Is there a mutant government? And if so is it recognized by the non-mutant peers?

A: There are innumerable Mutant Tribes, and many large, roving hordes. But there are a handful of actual Mutant City-States. These are under immense pressure and conflict with their neighbors.

Q: How long has it been since the Solar Flare?
