(( I was inspired to startt this by the show "The Colony" about volunteers living in a fake post-apocalyptic Los Angeles))
In the year 2009, Chemical Warfare destroyed most of the planet. Those who are left survived by hiding in bomb shelters, which were built all around the world and in the largest cities in the United States such as Philadelphia, Washington DC, New York, Chicago, and Seattle. Our Story takes place in New York. It is a year later, People have formed colonies, which are smalle communities working together to survive. For the most part, colonies only let in people who have skills or knowledge or resources to help the group survive. They must be selective or else they will not make it, so those without skills are usually turned away. The other groups are thugs and marauders, who try to infiltrate or destroy colonies, and take their resources. The rest must fend for themselves. Your job as a member of this system, is to survive, or help your group survive by any means nessecary. You can decide as a group what you will and won't do.



The Central Park Colony
This Colony decided to use Central Park as their refuge, as animals and plants were not affected by the chemicals. They are the most advanced colony, having made shelters mostly in the trees. They have a water filtration system, and a clothes washing and showering system. They also have the least amount of security, counting on the fact that they live above the ground to protect them. They are also the most likely to accept new members if they seem trustworthy and are prepared to follow their conduct rules.

The Warehouse Colony
This Colony was formed when they all moved into an abandoned shipping Warehouse, They have a showering system and the best defense, but they are the smallest colony and turn away the most people because of their limited food supply

The Times Square Colony
This Colony decided to take residence throughout a few stores and office buildings in Times Square. The Times Square colony is like the middle man, They heave good security and good resources, but not the best. The usually accept people but have a pretty strict code of conduct to be followed.

The Canal Street Marauders
These Thugs are the lowest of the low, everybody fears them. They have weapons, and a large group. They like to attack colonies, and steal their food. They have better weapons than most gangs but they lose the element of surprise.

The Shadow Gang
The Shadow gang is a bunch of sneaky thieves who cause some kind of distraction, then sneak in, and take food and other utilities from the colony, and sneak out before anybody can stop them. They alos tend to attack loners on the streets, for whatever reason they may see fit to attack. They have no morals, they do what they like for their own pleasure.

RULES
1.No Godmodding
2. Cursing and violence are allowed, but don't make us lose our lunch. If you want to kill somebody, you must get their permission first.
3. Shipping: You can ship, but don't be unrealistic.Also, nothing too graphic please.
4.Remember, you need to try an rebuild with your colony. You can't just be hanging around doing nothing.
5. If you are a loner, you can try to join as colony, but the people who are in that colony will decide whether or not you get in depending on their rules and mentality.
6. Please, we need people who are accepting and people who aren't accepting, so that it causes more of a debate if a loner comes knocking on the door.
7. If you have any questions, message me.

Colony/Gang: Loner
History:(Optional)

Other: Tom is a scavenger and a thief. He can find pretty much anything in New York and sells it. He's also a quick runner and can fit through small spaces and has quite a few hide-outs throughout the wasteland.

Name: N/A
Age: N/A
Gender: Male

Appearance: Extremely large, about 8’ 11’’ 1195, heavily muscular with hardened bones; veins are prominent against thick, ghastly pale skin; the legs are somewhat underdeveloped, but still muscular, whereas the upper body, primarily the arms, are longer. The arms are used to support the weight, much like an ape in proportion, as well as movement; the eyes are bloodshot, irises are a yellow color, spikes arcing off and almost bleeding into the red; a heavy, powerful maw is outlined by dry, bloody lips.

Personality: Primal. Has long since been stripped of abstract concepts, such as war, money, and community; The only thing left of its humanity, is its base need to survive, as well as its basic recognition of items, specifically food; easily startled, leading to a destructive rage—very common amongst mutants. Uses a very simple intellect to make armor out of car parts and scrap metal, haphazardly strung together with chain.
Colony/Gang:

History:(Optional) N/A. Only fragments remain of a bright light in the distance, and then pain. This singular memory fragment often leads to blind rage brought on by so much as blinking light bulbs, and car alarms; long forgotten streetlight with the faintest trickle of power are also victim to this rage.

Inventory: Makeshift armor made from car parts and scrap metal, any blunt objects for weapons, usually heavy pipes.

Other: Mutant; Inhuman strength, inhuman endurance. Mutants tend to be avoided, even by the most bad-ass gangs, as any conflict with one, often attracts others, overwhelming them quickly. Not all mutants are the same shape or size, but there tends to be trends of adaptations. This is only an example of one type.

Hope no one minds if I make a mutant character.

accepted, we shall start later tonight

((I will try desperately to be on tonight. Hopefully I can find someone with a phone to tether my computer to, but I can't promise anything. And thank you for letting me be part of this.))

no problem, no pressure to get on.
