'kay. So at el-partay on Friday night, we brainstormed (or really, Abby had the idea and Lyndel expanded on it,) up a new set. It's some more post-apocolypticness, but this time since it didn't start in a pool, I think it'll work. I don't remember all the specs - Bizzle and Lyndel probs do, I'm just starting the thread because I be avoidin' my fiziks homework - but we're a few years (10, I think it was) after WW III which involved both biological weaponry and traditional atom bombs and all that jazz. Most of the earth is pretty... destroyed-ish, and during the war a lot of people took shelter in... hub things... word not coming to brain... underground. Now that the war is over, some people have emerged from these hub things. Other hub things - BUNKERS THAT'S THE WORD - were found with no one in them, because the evacuation into them went wrong, or with a bunch of dead people, because all of the peeps would be packed in with a crazy 'suicide bomber' type d00d who worked for one of the militaries involved and would go and... kill them all. Yeah. So it's 10 years later now, we're at just about the point where guns are becoming readily available again, and there are now a bunch of factions attempting to restore order over chaos. There are a few cities left sort of intact, but not many people living in them since almost everyone died. After dark, there are sweeps of the streets by the factions to find anyone who is out there and take them and make them do stuff for the military... or something... or kill them... I dunno. But anyway that'd be how they all meet. Oh, and we're in Ireland. When we were creating characters we sort of chose character types for the other four people... but I dunno if that has to continue for those of you who weren't there. The important thing is that each character must have an asset, a reason to be useful or needed, 'cuz later they all get captured and hired by one of the factions to help them seize control. This idea has been conceived of beforehand so that we will have a plot. So far we have a hacker/computer geek (Dindel) a botanist, (who is useful because the biological warfare thing involves lots of curing diseases with plants and causing viruses with plants etc, and is Bizzle,) someone who... she used to be a businesswoman but basically what she's good at is picking out the important things and seeing the patterns and that sort of jazz, (Zoo,) a natural leader who draws people towards them and is good at getting people to do what they ask, (Christopholus,) and a doctor/geneticist, (useful again for the biological warfare and for soldier enhancement, who is me.) Basically that's it so far, if you guys remember other stuff or I'm wrong about something post it...
