Post subject:  Future: Not what you think it was (RP)

    You are in the future and you thought that it would be this wonderful place where you would never have to walk and never need to leave your house unless you really wanted to. All of your problems and everything would be taken care of by robots. Instead it is the complete opposite.

    As the world has developed you have continued to just live in the life of luxury but now that you thought the computers could handle everything and that the robots would be able to handle all of your fights you have sat back and become fat and lazy. The problem is that aliens have found a way to jam all of the robots and turn them on you and be able to come in and take over. You were able to get to an underground cement room before the nukes and other WMD hit anything and you were safe. You now have to fight your way through and attempt to heal the earth.

    The aliens have come from Planet X a possible planet that the human race was going to move to. They figured out that either you were coming or they were going to come and take over you. (Think of the ones from Battleship)

    You are a person who is in the future and you are attempting to survive and also potentially heal the earth. you will be fighting through all the different aliens and robots that you built. Although the robots do not have much equipped on them they are still able to pack a hard punch when it comes to trying to take you over.

    Due to the lack of possible Oxygen within this new world you will have to wear what are called rebreathers. These take the air and then filter out all the toxins that you do not need. (Think of the show Terra Nova) You will be fighting your way through a barren wasteland to attempt to find some sort of place that you can heal the earth from. You will have to take out different aliens and robots.

    You were attempting to move to a new place due to the uninhabitable conditions on the current earth. Due to what the aliens have done there are, or you believe, no survivors.

    When attempting to heal the earth you are attempting to get rid of the aliens and take out the robots. This also means that you begin to take down unnecessary buildings and other things and attempt to make the earth thriving once again.

    The aliens typically move by the use of their ships because it turns out they cannot be hit with sunlight. They have bio suits that they will sometimes use to get around. They also have little hover pods (like in Avengers) that they use. They use plasma guns and many ballistic weapons (again Battleship).

    You got into the bunker because you were the first ones to see the aliens come through and you were attempting to find a spot to hide. This bunker turned out to be what used to be the back of a kitchen (therefore it is full of food). The bunker is in the middle of the city and you know that there is a weapon storage area near there.

    This is a good concept but you need to have a proper character sheet. Look at some other RPs for them. They should include Name, Race, Age and possibly Personality, Appearance and Backstory.

    Thanks for the info. This is the first RPG where I am the Dungeon Master so any tips would greatly help.

    Height:
    Weight(or build):

    Will you use dice rolls to decide the outcomes of combat? Will there be skills?

    Come on guys join this RPG. I promise you it is thought out and it has many twists. There will be many chances for more players to come in, but until then join now.

    If you're building a world from scratch you'll probably want to add a whole lot more detail. Creating a character and playing them well takes a lot of effort, if you're wondering why people aren't eager to join. Which aliens are you talking about? What are the aliens like? Why did the PCs make it to an underground bunker? Fight your way through what, the robots? the aliens? other people? What does healing the earth even mean? What important NPCs exist? What factions? Why were humans trying to move to another planet? How did the aliens find out about it? You're asking people to create a character for your world, but you haven't given us much of an idea what that world is like.

    Random other nit, why is the medical genius a "nurse" instead of a physician?

    Dude you should really wait for people, it took about a few weeks to get a person into my role-play, and we all see how that went. And it is a busy time in the role-play forum too.

    Great suggestions. Also I did not say medical genius. I said could fix most anything. I will most likely add a physician in though.

    I'm very tempted about this, seriously though add some more details, like how they managed to get into the bunker, where the bunker is and how the Aliens move around a bit more- do they fly in ships, walk, move in tripods etc.
    Do this and chances are I'll join.
