Alright, this game is still under construction, but I thought I would put. it out there and see how much interest there is.

The game is a fort construction, apocalypse survival, mission based sort of game. Basically a good chunk of the game will be running supply missions trying to get better equipment, more food, perhaps even find a better place to fortify. Meanwhile the world has ended in several different ways and monsters, zombies, and all manner of evils are trying to kill you. So therefore, the second half of the game is based around defending your settlement and sustainable survivability. 

The game has a mix of magic and technology. Both wand and gun, spell and grenade, will be used to fight tooth and nail against the unimaginable horrors, endless zombie hordes, and whatever crap I can manage to whip up to try and kill you with. The world has gone crazy, and you must use everything you can to survive.

If there is interest, feel free to leave suggestions and or fill out a character sheet. I don't have all the answers at this point, but that will change as I work out the nitty gritty details. Feel free to suggest new skills and create your own races and whatnot.

Spoiler: Races (click to show/hide)

This world was much like our own before the cataclysm, no magic nor mystical monsters. However it always had a large number of various races. Each with their own culture, but all existing in today's modern world. Try and imagine what your race would be like living in a modern city and work with that.

Humans: Normal, basic, and full of spirit.
Bigguns: Very large humans, standing almost 10-12 feet tall. Strong, but exceptionally dumb and clumsy.
Halflings: Nimble and adventurous, these three foot tall humans have exceptional luck.
Dwarf: Squat and dense in more ways than one. This stubborn race is known for its craftsmanship and durability.
Gnome: Bulbous little big heads filled with knowledge, curiosity, and ingenuity.
Pixie: No more than 6 inches tall, these mischievous flying sprites have a natural inclination towards magic.
Wood elf: Thin, elegant, and pompous.  These long lived racists have the incredible dexterity. About 5 feet tall.
High elf: Eight foot tall highly intelligent recluses. They tend to avoid all things physical and quietly keep to themselves.
Dark elf: Subterranean elves. They share traits of wood and high elves, but not to the same degree. Black skin and red eyes.
Ascended: Animals twisted into human form. They have various traits and cultures. Broad category, things like lizardmen and khajiit would fall under this category.
Goblin: Similar to gnomes, impish greenskinned little devils with sharp teeth, extra luck, and surprising intelligence.
Orc: Very similar to humans in capability, fairly universally hated. A bit stronger, with some regeneration.
Troll: Huge monsterous humanoids. Fairly stupid, but able to regrow limbs. Can also change their physiology to adapt to their environment.
Merelf: Amphibious blue skinned elves. Fairly nimble on land, unrivaled in water.
Hobgoblin: Five foot tall orange skinned goblins. Clever and malicious, surprising leadership and strength. 

As of now you know nothing of how the world ended or why, just that suddenly magic is real, zombies are everywhere, suddenly the world is incredibly jumbled with geographical locations being replaced with others, monsters roam, and very little makes sense. Basically its a hurricane of chaos out there, and you only just made it to this old fallout shelter without getting killed or worse.

I'll edit this with a sheet, but consider me interested.

Spoiler: The Chief Mechanic (click to show/hide)

Name: Ana Light
Race: Human
Skills: Engineering/Maintenance, Land Vehicles, Construction, Blunt Weapons, Earth Magic
Physical description: A little shorter than average, she is none the less built as expected for someone used to using heavy tools on a day to day basis, that is, being in relatively good shape. She does need her glasses to see more than a few meters in front of her clearly, though.
Backstory: Ana was a fairly big time mechanic, able to diagnose and fix even the most elusive problems, working in a rather well off garage. She was also considered a little strange, practicing with using the tools she works with as weapons 'just in case', and she never really hid the fact that she was pursuing the occult as a hobby.

When the Cataclysm hit, it was only a rush job on the car she was fixing and a blatant disregard for traffic laws (in addition to skill) that saw her to safety, away from the initial horrors of the Cataclysm... And she swears that the occult practices she's dabbled in feel like they have more substance, that they're more solid now...

[~Neri]

Color me interested. Thoughts on a Nekomata or Bakeneko? (TL;DR: horrifically abused, rather old cats that died in severe pain and didn't quite.. Finish dying. Notable traits include limited shapeshifting, mimicracy, pyromantic tendencies, necromantic tendencies, a tendency to curse people, and Unbridled Rage at whatever harmed them in life. Bakeneko tend to be less violent than Nekomata.)

Spoiler: (BEHOLD the best/worst thing you could probably run into) (click to show/hide)

Name: Luatyr Theosia
Race: Asended (Jinko, tiger-human)
Skills:

Academia
Magic Mysticism
Computers
Rifles
Cutting weapons

Physical description:

9 foot tall alluring female (MG for fun)
human body
above average set of breasts
curvy at the right areas
Slightly amazonian


physical tiger body parts
lower arms and legs
tail and ears
hands with claws though not hindering use of other weapons

body color
Tan

fur color
black with white stripes

hair color
light brown

eye color
blue



Just a bit more human like and color changes appropriately.

Backstory:

Luatyr was one of many other people. Someone who got good grades and sought out ways to improve her life and her people. Unfortunately most of her sub-race is used for security detail to counter those would be thieves assumed to know their tricks of their trade. If that was not the forte they were also used as able security guards and military personnel just for the physiology they naturally have.

This did not stop her from trying to learn and come to be a good IT personnel despite how people may have looked at her strangely not conforming to the norms. Everything was fine up until the cataclysm start. While staying in New York working for one of the top bank's IT security personnel, both technical and physical, she overheard some of the Cataclysm reports on her break when one of the storms showed up over her area. Others looking at the new storm stood in awe as sections of other buildings became missing chunks or worse living abominations. After the first few sudden strange things happened everyone in the building ran out.

A number of strikes of pure magical energy blasted and arced between buildings people and other objects. Most notable was a manager who was struck within a minute from exiting the building became not so friendly and started attacking everyone around it and making more of its kind to attack more people.

Luatyr was one of the others being struck by this lighting but despite the pain of it she kept moving forward and found herself somewhere else. There is also something that plays around her after that strike. Something not primal nor intelligent but something that flows around her which seems to react to her movements. Whatever it is it probably helped her get away from the chaos if not briefly.

"Kleiner" claims to be from germany, Specifically from the probably german city of Frankfurt. In all actuality he was born in the USA in 1988, Spent most of his life working as a construction worker and conman, and simply acts "german" because it makes him sound more legitimate when he's talking about things he doesn't have half a clue about. roughly a month before the apocalypse happened he was caught scamming people into guying bridges and sent to prison, luckily only about half the prison got moved by the apocalypse...

i am very interested and can't wait for it to start

Spoiler: character fixed (click to show/hide)

Hmmm, I'm not so sure about the cat spirits. Not because I don't like the idea, they're interesting to me personally, it's just that magic didn't exist in this world until just a few days ago. So it's a bit hard to swing that. As a player race, you could set up something similar with taking fire, necro, and dark magic skills. You may not have all the powers they get in the lore, but you can submit a character that has the potential to gain them.

Similar thing with your troll Darkwarlock, he lived and grew up in our world. So he wouldn't see any more adventurers than you or me would, and would likely know what guns are.

[~Neri]

I was thinking more 'Cat wakes up after being dead as fuck around when the apocalypse starts' rather than 'character has been alive for a while'

Spoiler: sheeeeeeet (click to show/hide)

Kalamos is a mer-elf skilled in biology, computers, water magic, necromancy, and stabbin'. He is blue. He's pretty sure he's good-looking by mer-elf standards, normal height, and thin. He does not like the water for reasons he does not like to discuss either. He does, however, like watermelons.

Spoiler: Not a Mutant with Tentacle's. (click to show/hide)

Name: Beverly Remingham
Race:...Uh-uh, I am Human! Definitely not a mutant! N-Not at all!
Skills: Athletics
Repairing equipment.
Electronics.
Martial combat Tentacle specialization
Academia.

Physical description:



Having short red hair and purple eye's most likely colored contacts owing to her history of having bad vision. She stands at a short 5ft1 bring absolutely tiny as hell! With a slightly scrawny frame and small breasts.

Her hips are slightly wide and it appears that her back strains with something.Like as if her clothing was concealing something. Why certainly it couldn't be long and powerful tentacles outing her as a mutant.

Certainly, they weren't tied to her back as best as they can be. Nope, not at all she is totally a normal human and not a mutant with immensely powerful tentacles that have quite a lot of uses.

Backstory: Coming from a rather sheltered family it may not surprise a lot of people that she has recently stepped out of a bunker. Privately owned and that had been laden with supplies she had exited when they had started to grow low. Their...special traits having appeared due to some kind of encounter with a rather strange being...an unfortunate and terrifying encounter to say the least.

But either way, she hasn't been out here long and she learned everything she could in the bunker but can info learned from books work out? Is her...fighting style particularly viable with how much it exposes? Is it perhaps just best to try to run away from everything as fast as she can instead?

She supposes she might find out. With a nervous smile, she strides onto the grand stage. Ready to try to face the howling cruel winds of the ruined world.

Spoiler: Magic, science, what's the difference? (click to show/hide)

Name: Chantar Drake
Race: Dunmer Drow Dark elf
Skills: Runecraft, engineering, gunsmithing, blacksmithing, magecraft (slight pyroturgic inclination)
Physical description: About halfway between the average heights of Dark elves and humans; skin and hair are jet-black, eyes and hair tips are shifting reds, oranges, and yellows like fire (note: cut the hair and the new tips will be glowing like this inside the hour). Lean and dextrous, muscles are subtle but visible. Wears a blackened, slightly torn lab coat, a dirty red t-shirt, a pair of khaki cargo pants, a pair of cloth shoes, and a black baseball cap.
Backstory: Chantar Drake is an artificer, plain and simple.
Well, technically, he's an engineer and part-time smith, but his designs and creations would seamlessly integrate the world's background magic into the technology to create items that could accomplish more than devices that worked on merely one set of principles could. While he favored fire magic to a degree - mostly for its use in making engines run more effectively - Chantar would integrate whatever type of magic he thought would best suits his purposes.

Before the apocalypse, Chantar was known to be somewhat asocial, preferring to stay in his workshop designing and making things as opposed to interacting with others. While he was nice enough in conversation and always willing to help, he was clearly uncomfortable in social situations. That said, at any signs of argument, he would come in and try to cool it down before anything happened.

The apocalypse caught Chantar in his garage, working on an exo-suit that would provide one with additional strength and stamina. He managed to escape the initial horde with a prototype; while it needs more maintenance than the final design should, and isn't quite as effective, it does work, and clearly shows that all the ideas behind the suit are solid. For that matter, with magic suddenly becoming so much stronger than it was, it all worked even better than Chantar had hoped.

For the most part, Chantar hasn't changed. While he will jump at any request to help with something, he still prefers to work behind the scenes, making sure everything runs smoothly. However, now, with the great strengthening of magic, he is taking his creative skills to new heights.

...I'm not quite sure what you mean by  "Crabing", "Academia", and "Mysticism". Can you give some details on them?

Spoiler:  Mundane and Magical Doctor (click to show/hide)

Name: Lucas Clarke
Race: Gnome
Skills: Holy Magic, Biology, Conjuration, Illusion, Farming (surface).
Physical description: Somewhat tall for a gnome. Round chin, brown hair, grey eyes, prefers green clothing.
Backstory:Son of a priest, he was raised knowing the power of faith and trust, though he's forgotten those words as he grew up to his race's equivalent of the 30s. Now a cynical and reasonably capable doctor living alone, he's been hoping for a way to start life over again. More recently, he's considered going back to college for a degree in teaching, in hopes of becoming a medical professor. Survived the first wave as a stowaway on the side/back of someone's car.

By the way, Glass, I'm pretty sure there was no magic whatsoever before the cataclysm, so you might want to revise your backstory a bit.

EDIT: Changed Academia, which I originally thought was the ability to teach, with Illusion, and slightly altered backstory accordingly.

[Glass]

Already talked with Robo about that, I did two revisions, first to get rid of magic, second to put it back in. I'm not revising it a third time.

EDIT: Also, anyone who feels like faster discussion, Discord is here.

[Smoke Mirrors]

Count me in, I was asked to do a backstory novel, I'll do my best, last one was 4,251 words, let's see if I can tip that.
