"Our way of life here in the commonwealth has changed. The Sole Survivor never emerged from that vault. I did, as did a few others. Some were left behind, we couldn't help them. They were frozen and we couldn't free them. We lived in the happily ever after. Couldn't see it then, sure can now. The world has only changed for the worse.
We met up with a few others on the road. Founded a settlement at the old Kingsport Lighthouse. Then... The Overboss invaded The Commonwealth. He has three major gangs under his control. The Pack, The Operators, and The Disciples. Slowly, over the course of three years, he has gained control of a majority of the commonwealth. He has a personal army keeping the three in line, called The Saviors.
One of our patrols spotted his men headed this way. He hasn't claimed us as one of his own yet, and we are in no way going to be able to fight back. I am afraid for our lives, our future and our way of life. I knew when our walls went up that we would start to be recognized. We used to just hide in the house, but we've built this place into something worth fighting for. Somewhere we can live. I'm afraid it will all just be taken away. The Minutemen can't protect us. They don't protect anybody. They just hide in their Castle, watching us suffer under the Overboss. They try, but they just don't have the manpower or resources. The Overboss lives in Sanctuary Hills. That much is certain. My nan used to live there. It sickens me to know what he has done with the place. His walls are decorated with the dead bodies of those who tried to attack.
The Overboss, Negan, extorts The Commonwealth into supplying him with everything they've got. Food, ammo, medicine. You name it, he'll take it. If you fight back, you die. Or worse. I have people to look after here. I'm not going to fight him when he comes. The others might disagree, but this is the best call.
When the raiders come knocking on our gates, I will let them in."
For this RP what I will require is three things. Raiders, Minutemen and Survivors. Survivors/settlers can always hop to one of the former two, but they are survivors first and foremost. Survivors will be situated at the Kingsport Lighthouse. How you got there is your own, but I would prefer if you've all been there for at least a couple months, if not years.
You would have either exited the vault with Henry or met him and his small group on the road when they were just starting out. Maybe you even just found the occupied Kingsport Lighthouse and was let in in the last 18 months. Whatever the case may be, I would prefer if those that exited vault 111 were small in number. For example, only three of you. This won't be enforced, but I'd like the group to be diverse.
You are ruthless. You had to be to get this far. You work with The Saviors, The Operators or The Pack. You can be important in these ranks or just another face in the gang. If you're with The Saviors, and you're important, you need to be pretty damn unique with an important skill set.
The raiders are thriving. If you're in the right gang, your way of life has become very lucrative. Your life expectancy is no longer just a couple weeks, months. You no longer struggle. If you joined Negan at just the right time, in just the right place, you hitched onto the train to paradise. However, if you are not with Negan, you live in fear. Nobody fears you. If you cause problems for anybody, The Saviors will find you. They will kill you. They protect their property with ruthless efficiency.
Gone are the days of raider on raider conflicts, fighting for terrain and supremacy. That battle has been won.
The General will be under my control and has been in power for the past 8 years. He and his soldiers protected the Commonwealth and have recently lost all control. Over the last three years, they slowly lost their battle with Negan and have retreated to the Castle. Some of the Kingsport Settlers can side with the Minutemen and support their ideals and help them fight when the time comes, but other than that mostly revolve around the Kingsport group. This is the best way to side with the Minutemen storyline as you will still be heavily involved with other RPers.
The Minutemen used to be extremely popular but are now fading into nothingness. The Castle shelters a settlement within and is a military militia stronghold.
I want your characters to have history and if you choose to, families and loved ones. Even just close friends. I want you to have a real way of life, not just a wanderer.
That's my pitch, I hope you buy in. Things aren't as clear-cut as they seem, but that's the premise. There won't be many rules in terms of what you can and can't do. Just if you want to do something drastic and major, talk to me first and I will find a way to fit it in. I have ideas on where the story will go, but all of this is susceptible to change depending on the decisions and action your characters take. So don't feel you can't do something your character would attempt because it will change things too much. DO those things.
1) This will be 18+ and feature a lot of violent and coarse language. If that is a sore spot for you, this isn't the place to be. Racism, sexism, rape and all those terrible themes are allowed here. The post-apocalypse is a terrible place and it is not somewhere for political correctness. That being said, this is just for the sake of allowing you to tell any story you like. I won't be having an abundance, if any, of these themes purposely put in. DO NOT put it in just for the sake of having it. If it doesn't benefit your story, please don't overdo it.
2) No god-modding. This is to see your characters struggle at some stage or another. The things that happen WILL hurt you and your character can't go through unscathed.
3) If real life gets in the way of regular posting, let me know first with a rough time estimate. If you no longer wish to be apart of the RP, don't just leave, let me know.
4) Of course, have fun!
The rest should all be common knowledge but if there is any confusion, I will add to the list.
Negan is 38.
The Kingsport is a thriving community with walls and functions organized teams. These include but are not limited to the scavenging team, security team and various farming, medical and maintenance roles. Your character can fit anywhere, as long as you provide them a role.
