TOTAL BLACKOUT

The story and plot

In the non too distant future a satellite collision with a giant asteroid caused a total blackout from the sun and the moon plunging the world into utter darkness amongst the earth's residents.
Anarchy and panic amongst the people grew rapidly as the chaos emerged with the governments abandoning them to the darkness as they fled into hiding with all hope lost the death toll began to rise with such vastness people fled there homes and took to the streets which were no longer safe.
People turned on each other to sustain their own lives with food and water which was decreasing with every minute as stores were raided with some so hungry that they grew crazy eating anything they could find, pets were the top of their food chain after regular food decreased and was rare now after that some mad with hunger even began to result to cannibalism to sustain their own lives.
But was this just coincidence and inevitable or something more sinister at work. a group of survivors who gradually put aside their differences band together to rise amongst the now cannibalistic people who am seeking them out. they form a plan to find a way out of the darkness and locate the governments who abandoned them so that they might stand a chance in this now dark evil world.

We he came home after the war, everyone said that part of him had died back there; his sanity.

Sweet so we have a guy whos in mourning, a escaped convict, and a former marine with experience which will come in handy. So when i wrote this idea up i was watching silence of the lambs lol so i thought hmm instead of having zombies for a rp idea why not make it even darker by making hungry cannibals instead so here we are.

are hunters in the darkness cannibals

No, I made that as a way to show that I hunt and kill the Cannibals

do you eat the cannibals?

Depends on what the hunters motive is, bearing in mind that these cannibal am not zombies there human just like us and hungry with no food resource left hardly so we am food in their eyes so just a small band that is us am non cannibal idk if shagg is a cannibal or not

Oh right just missed that post that shagg write so there u go we all not cannibal

If I ate the cannibals, that would make me a cannibal. :P

Yeah, but wouldn't you be a more~controlled cannibal?

Drop the cannibal stuff! He isn't one :O

what time is it where you guys live?

anyone watch alive bout this plane that crashed into the mountains carrying a bunch of students after a while with no food left they had no choice the survivors but to eat their dead classmates now imagine a world into darkness, no light,colder than usual no hope no food desperate and starving that the people have no choice but to resort to cannibalism except us because we haven't gave up yet or resorted to the unthinkable.

it hasen't got be mega brill angel thats why txg only provided a simple sheet to make it easy on us lol and you haven't got to have high tech weapons and all that if you looking for ideas just look at the sheets us lot have made.

Yeah, nothing like laser blasters or Super Suits

lol who put laser blasts

Hawkeye

No lazer swords or viagra either. hawkeye put lazer sword, no one put viagra. At least no one so far.

you know how some RPG have the warning sign before the title? what is it for?

It's just a symbol you can put up. Some have Hearts, even.

If I don't control my character in 24 hours, someone will have to control it for me. preferrably someone close to my location in the game.

hmm why is that then ?

I might not have internet access for the day

not today

O righty. best letting txg handle it then

Bio: Her four-year-old daughter, Alex, got lost in the madness when the whole world plunged into the total darkness. She's been looking for her ever since, even though she knew that the chances of her finding her daughter is next-to-nothing.

Before the blackout, she took up shooting and made sure she knew self-defense and survival skills because she didn't want Alex's crazy father near her or her child ever again, and so she took some steps to make sure of this.

But now, the daughter she used to live for is gone, and the only thing she can do is to survive.
