(Someone said that we haven't had a post-apoc RP in awhile, so here goes.)
The Vineyard Society -
Theme - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg-okiuauBQ
"Alright, nearly there," a younger man in front of you says in a bit a solemn tone, yet when he looked back, you noticed that he faked a smile to try and lighten the mood. You try to return it, but it's difficult, especially in time such as and times before this man had miraculously picked you up off the streets, sincerely saying that he wished to help with no catch at all. What happened before that... well, you keep your story to yourself for now at least, and instead follow this man, adjusting the straps of your backpack as you go.
After rounding about a few corners and streets, you finally see what looks to be like the place this man and many others call home; an old church with a concrete wall lining around it and most-likely a cemetery in the back. You also notice an apartment building directly on the church's left that looks well fortified too, especially when you spot the man on the roof who is clutching a rifle in his hand. He sees you looking at him and he took fakes a smile, giving you a wave.
The man in front of you reaches the metal gates that leads into the church's courtyard, looking back at you with a smile on his face. "Hey, I'm glad to have you here and everyone else will, too. I'll get you introduced and we'll have you fed and sheltered in a flash. I hope you'll like it here," he says with sincerity and compassion, which was odd. People caring about your well-being? Before you had known none of this, and while it was odd... you welcomed it. You finally returned the man a feeble smile, and walked in through that gate where your new life finally began; at The Vineyard Society.
More information -
Based in the suburbs of an old city after a nuclear apocalypse that occurred many hundreds of years ago, this roleplay will focus mainly on character interaction and what the life of a civilian would be like in times like these. The Vineyard Society is a group who work by helping one another and have taken your character in. For how long? That will be for you to determine in your C.S. This roleplay WILL involve looting, firefights, and more events, but it is mainly meant to focus on the social aspects of the lives of the post apocalyptic survivors, so try to get to know one-another's characters for the sake of the roleplay!
Rules -
1. My word is law. 2. IC arguments and fights are fine, but OOC fights are not! No flaming! 3. Generic RP rules. (No Garry Stues, Marry Sues, etc.) 4. Keep firearms, if your character possesses one, basic and attainable! (AKA - No M249s rocking this roleplay.) 5. Be active, for Heaven's sakes! Don't join and leave! 6. Be literate! Since it's character interaction for the most part, posts will be a bit lengthier, so try to make an effort! 7. Enjoy yourselves. If you aren't, simply tell me what issues you are having. If they aren't resolvable, dropping out is perfectly acceptable.
Character Sheet (Keeping it very basic is fine.) -
Name: Alias: (Optional.) Age: (Can be broad.) Physical Appearance: (Include clothing and physique.) Items and Weapons: (Anything that your character attains that isn't a part of their appearance.) Biography: (Totally optional.) Member For: (Ex - Jamie has been a member for three years.) Other: (Please remove all of the parentheses when making your CS.) |

Name: Mikhail Furistov
Alias: meh
Age: 26
Physical Appearance: Mikhail is known to have a signature woodland-esque Gorka which he wears whenever it's cold enough to be bearable, and it's been worn enough that it's barely even camouflage anymore. Other than that, he tents to wear gray khaki pants, a basic T-Shirt under the Gorka, and he tends to wear a plain, brown, cap every now and then. Mikhail is also known for his chevron mustache, mushroom-like nose, and curly black hair.
Items and Weapons: Mikhail owns two firearms, one being an Ithaca 37 in it's "riot" format, but with a wooded stock, and also a Smith & Wesson Model 629 Revolver, which has loose wooden grips on it. Along with his firearms, he owns a Zero Tolerance 0180 fixed knife, which he never lets off of his body. Biography: meh
Member For: Six weeks.

| (I may or may not join - it depends on my availability this week - but I have a small concern: would this look like some makeshift society like you might see in The Walking Dead, or would it look a bit more.. put-together?) |

Name: Jasper Hundley Alias: N/A Age: 32 Physical Appearance: Standing at 5'11 and weighing in at 168 pounds, Jasper pretty much defines the physique of an average male. He has large hands and feet though, which sometimes have their use. He has dark brown eyes, black, short hair, and an overall bronze skin tint which hints at his Native American heritage that has managed to carry through to him after many, many years. He often wears a grey t-shirt, a pair of khakis, and some worn leather boots when the weather is nice out, but once it gets cold, he adds on a pair of khakis for more warmth and a black hoodie to keep his upper body warm. Other than that, he always keeps his grey schoolbag on for carrying items around and a holster for his sidearm. Items and Weapons: Jasper carries around a 9mm Glock 17 and a K-BAR knife. Biography: N/A Member For: Four years Other: |

@Tai,
More of a makeshift society, but I'm planning on having the society being a bit more organized. For example, there will be a sick bay, a farming area, and a quartermaster for handing out supplies. Some more ideas might come around to me as well. It's definitely not going to be anything fancy, though. |

Name: Alias: Jeris Stal Age: 48 and still alive, at least. Physical Appearance: [Physical] Jeris is quiet normal for his height and a bit skinny from his time just surviving. Various scars, sags and other inflictions mark his body from head to toe, where he is already missing two toes on one feet and a finger on his right hand. His silverish hair is speckled with black, though he always manages to shave somehow. [Clothing] Wearing a long gray trench coat with brown overalls and another brown shirt under it all with a pair of black steel-toed boots. He bears a radiation filter that could cover most of his face with a pair of goggles just on the safe side for radiation or toxic gas.
Items and Weapons: His main weapon is old metal police baton, being quiet and able for severe damage. Other gear involves a small backpack with various cans, a can opener, matches and canteens with a small tool kit of screwdrivers. That way, he has space for anything he might be interested in but still has the essentials.
Biography: He will talk about it later, probably in some campfire story. Member For: 1 year. He just blew in from the west one day. Other: Personality [Deadened] He doesn't feel much from events... Time has dulled him to it. [Wise] Common knowledge or just good instinct, Jeris can commonly know what's best. [Cautious] Survival has taught him, never doubt the chance of something happening. [Helpful] Just ask, and he will come over to see what he can do.

@TNT
This Friday on after-school hours. I'll write up a starting post with my main character to get everyone situated and we'll go from there, and I say main character because I will also be playing many NPCs to fill in the gaps in this roleplay. After all, it is a Society, not just a small group. |
