☢️Lost in a Nuclear dark age, a Twilight 2000 SG☢️

Five years ago, the nations of the world began their war for global supremacy.
Three years ago, a massive nuclear exchange failed to give any side the decisive advantage
they sought.

Today you live in the aftermath, both sides still fight on driven by inertia and the need plunder to survive.

From east to west from the Urals to Cape Roca, europe is in the grip of a new dark age.
It is a time of bellum se ipsum alit, the war feeds itself.
Armies have turn in migratory warbands, takeing what they can from the land.
Once Rome feared the huns, now it fears the US Fifth Infantry Division.
Today a rifle and skill to use it, could make you king.

A week ago your were part an Infantry Division sent in battle in Poland.
What ever plan your commander had failed and now you're lost, split from army way from support, supply, or reinforcement.

As the sun rise on the browning autumn leaves you wonder how you’ll survive the coming winter...

Does this suggestion work? Should the gear be more specific?

I had ment for your gear to a pick of the three, but being a medic is a good backstory.
The gears fine, you get the standard issue kit as well.

Mako's unit was engaged while she was out scouting another location. By the time she got back, no one was there, and no one was answering the radio either.

I would be remiss if I didn't try to exploit this.

deadName: Grigori Katinsky
Actual Name: Greta Katinsky
Gender: Female
Sex: Male
Side: Warsaw Pact
Gear: Conscript gear (AKM, fatigues), deserter gear (cannabis, estrogen pills, really nice dress). Better armor than usual: she'd rather not get shot than shoot at anybody.

When Greta got volunteered into the war effort, she was ready to prove herself as a man. When she met her first battle, however, she learnt two things:
A. She was actually a woman.
B. She really didn't want to die.
So, after deserting, she made her way to Krakow, where the counterculture was surprisingly accepting of a trans woman (as she learnt was the name for people like her). She lived her days there in pleasant hedonism until a missile struck it and blew the whole damn place to shreds.
She tried to escape the war, but unfortunately the war came to her.

Maybe the other suggested characters could be NPCs for our crew?

[helmacon]

Is this single player or multi player?

[Funk]

First off i've got good news about my brother, he's been give the clear from the cancer after surgery 

Is this single player or multi player?

I want to have a single player character, just keep things easyer, no waiting for some one to post.

Fniff i'm fine with haveing a trans character but you're going to help with makeing this a proper ground character.
Or this will quicky turn in a crossdressing psyco runs around.

I'll let this run till tomorw just to see if any else have anything to say.

[Fniff]

No problem. I'm not transgender myself, so I can't guarantee total accuracy, but I'll try my best. If there's any trans folks reading this out there, speak up if I make a mistake. I'll only learn if I'm corrected!

The first thing would be defining the difference between a crossdresser and a trans woman. A crossdresser dresses as a woman for various reasons, but usually identifies as male. A trans woman doesn't just dress as a woman, they consider themselves a woman.

The thing that really helped me understand trans folks is this metaphor: it's not that they feel like women trapped in men's bodies, it's that they're women who are constantly mistaken for men.
Again, not an expert on this, I'd recommend doing some reading on the subject. I'll probably post some links to smarter folks than me in the thread  later.

Also, good to hear about your brother, I can see how that would be a massive relief. Hope he's remains healthy in the future.

[omada]

Just act as any female character and all things in female pronouns till you met someone. These other people could give zero-fucks to whatever she indentify as or be total assholes that probably we will want buried with his dick thrown in a fire.

[helmacon]

Good to hear about your brother! Cancer can suck it!

I'm no expert by any means either, but I do know a fair bit about the transgender condition. (For example, crossdressing is an act often taken by people with various conditions, but what you're describing (someone who identifies with thier birth sex, but habitually crossdresses, is called a transvestite.) I would also like some clarification on the character. It appears we are already on estrogen/anti androgens, but how long have we been taking them? Depending on the timeframe, we could be in for some big problems. Additionally, are we transgender or transexual?

But, yea. Ill try to help out as well.

I'm fine with not taking the NBC suit, but I would like to petition a change to weapon over armor. Offence is the best defence, yo. Sniper rifles are where it's at.

Coin filp is 1, you are Mako Kita.

Things have not gone good for you, it was ment to be a two day reconnaissance parole but an autumn storm left you stuck on a hill side for entire day.
Now your back where you left your compremy there only one problem there gone, all of them.
You look around in the hope that you can see tracks but there nothing to show were the have gone.
You try the radio but get nothing, maybe it's the valley or maybe there out of range.

Looking arond you see a tall a distant hill, a town in the distance and some smoke riseing in the east.
