BACKGROUND
The end of the world as we knew it came and went, well I think so anyway...

If I'm honest, all I have been told is that our planet was no longer sustainable for us, humans couldn't live there anymore, so we moved underground. The Government built huge underground cities capable of housing hundreds of people all over the country... possibly all over the world. The rich built their own huge bunkers near the surface with pools and theatres, while the rest of us scavenged the money to be put into a tiny, cramped house in one of the under ground cities. If you didn't have the money, you couldn't get in.
At first, things where fine the surface people had runs of cities, and all the food in them. Things got bad when the bombs dropped, the government wanted a clean slate for the earth, they wanted the earth to regenerate so in 100 years humans could come out after being underground and live peacefully without the constant natural disasters. Anyone who was immune to the radiation survived and fought for their lives for food, shelter and clean water. People raided any surface bunkers they could get into, stole the food, water, any supplies they could and left the people in the bunkers for dead (either by starvation or exposure to radiation). The rich where targeted the most, their extravagant bunkers became the bases for gangs and mobs.
So while the Earth became greener, more lush, the people ran wild and society fell.
Of course, everyone underground had no idea the world above them was falling apart at the seams, we where worried about our own issues.
Our city, along with the other bunkers and cities, was not meant to hold the amount of people (that had accumulated over the 100 and something years), for the amount of time that we had stayed there. We where running out of food and electricity. Our time was up, and to be honest, I was going crazy in that town.
One day I went to the food bank, and I tried to rob it. I was desperate, my family hadn't eaten in days, my little sister was wasting away, I couldn't watch anymore, so I did something about it. Well, I tried too. I obviously got caught. When a 19 year old single-handedly tries to rob a food bank, things don't go well. I was thrown in jail and my punishment was to be sent to the surface.... a deaths sentence by radiation.
I don't know how I'm alive, I guess I'm one of the "lucky" ones who is immune. From what I can tell I am the only one who has survived being sent to the surface. The pile of bodies I woke up in is a bit of a giveaway.
It's not too bad here if I'm being honest. The sun feels warm on my face during the day, the nights are cold but when you are next to a fire its not so bad. I have managed to avoid most of the 'locals' by hiding. The animals are mostly okay to eat, as long as they don't show signs of radiation poisoning, but they are hard to catch and all I have is a small pocket knife.
The gangs are the real issue, they shoot first and ask questions later, they take all you have and leave.
The days are getting colder though, the nights are less bearable. I don't think I can live out here much longer by myself....
Gangs:
Cifaretto
- the most dangerous gang
- they where the first to form and have the most weapons and ammunition

- if you see them, you hide. If they see you, you run. If they get you, you plead for your life.

- they like to hunt people down
Positions:
1. Leader
2. Second in command
3. Outsiders (they go out for resources)
4. Hunters (look for survivors to capture and bring back for "entertainment")
5. Wilds (they just run rampent and do what they want)
Stracci
- the largest gang
- they live in an underground bunker/ abandoned city (according to the rumours, no one knows as no one has been there and escaped)
- they have cars they drive around in and drones (only used sometimes due to veryyy little petrol) to find more food/ resources that can be used
- more structured
Positions:
1. Leader
2. Second in command

ooc: okay so this is my first thread that i have run/ been apart of for a supperr long time.
I'm hoping to have this thread go in the general direction of forming a smallish group of survivors who have to escape the gangs, find their own food, and survive basically. Your character could have also been sent to the surface and survived or has been born on the earth and this is all they know.
Im more than happy for people to play more than two characters if you want. You can play someone from one of the gangs or someone from the survivor group. If anyone has any plot ideas, you are welcome to put them on the table or any ideas about gangs or groups or anything really you are welcome to add them! I'm super flexible as long as its discussed first![]()
anyone is welcome to join! if you want to write paragraphs, you are free too and if you are a beginner like me, just write with what you are comfortable with. Quality over quantity ![]()
