Right, I just thought I'd throw this one out here.
Basic story: Everyone in the world is dead. No-one knows why, or how, but all of your friends, family and distant relations have died. You 6 players are the only people you know in the world to have survived this. Its not a zombie outbreak, because no-one came back from the dead. Its not an invasion by aliens, because nothing was destroyed. You 6 have to make it in the world, restart, make a new society, grow, become what you always wanted to be!
You think your the only ones alive, but who knows, there might be others?
Setting: Edinburgh; 2009 1st January. The disaster did happen on New years day. Which does mean there'll be alot of dead people on the streets.
Characters: Anything you want them to be. Preferably something realistic, Edinburgh has a high population of Students/old people/Polish immigrants/and Scottish people (well duh). I'm looking for 6 people, first come first serve.
Rules: There arn't any specific rules, just general don't throw abuse at people irl. RP will make life here easier for you. and stuff.
So I'll have to work it out, but you'll probably start in the center of town all meeting for the first time. I'll post a small map of the center of Edinburgh via google maps and you can take a look see.
If you want the larger (clearer map) then just say and I'll send it to you.
People interested:
1. Rooster - Kate
2. deadlycairn - Simon
3. Aqizzar - Rachelette
4. sonerohi - Millar
5. Pengiun - That prossie lady Candy
6. chaoticjosh - Fernando
===Update Section===
Ok, I did note that the map was of bad quality when I uploaded. So I'm gonna post up the bigger version with numbers
Sorry about that Aqizzar. And no, the animals didn't die. Just humans (I'll go fix that
) I'll put up a link to the download.

Oh yes, I'll need you to give a quick character description, like about 100 words or something, who they are, where they're from, what they're doing in Edinburgh, any special talents (just make it like... one for just now, you can learn some more later).
The general jist of the rules goes along the lines of if you have a talent you'll do it better, if not then you wont. You don't have any major difficulties with anything survival related (you've watched Ray Myres etc.) You know how to start a campfire and stuff.
The turns meanwhile shall be played out on a week by week style, if anything major happens (and it will) then I'll tell you lot and we'll do it on a day by day basis. You get one action for each day, this is what you'll be spending the most time on in that one day (be it finding food, building shelter, planting some crops.) When the major events happen you'll have 24 action points to spend to figure the event out and stuff. It will act like one day action point over all. But you'll get to specify what you do better. Note: If you want to suggest a better way of doing these turns then please tell me
Intro31/12/08 Hogmanay (Hog-man-nay Scottish New Years).
23:30. People are out celebrating what is the countries biggest New years party. People are everywhere on the streets, drinking, laughing having a wonderful time as they forget what was a quite terrible year for the world. The clocks ticking down to the biggest use of fireworks seen yet at Edinburgh Castle.
23:55. People gather everywhere for their own view of the castle, the fireworks start. The concert in Princes Street gardens is coming to its climax in unison with the Castles display. People are getting anxious, waiting for the final rockets to explode in their wonderful reds, yellows, greens and blues.
0:00 January 1st 2009. Suddenly five hundred thousand people drop dead onto the floors as the colours in the air begin to fade. In an instant what was one of the most celebrated times in the year became the quietest. No-one was around, not a single voice except for the harsh winds picking up from the north.
0:05. 6 Sole people find themselves the only people left standing in Princes Street. There are no tears shed among them, they just stare at each other wondering what had happened. A faint thud is heard towards the east.
Ok, thats the intro. You guys were all celebrating new years in the center of town, just north of the castle on that long street. Its up to you what you guys want to do now.
