Through the Ashes (A Technological Apocalypse Tale) - OoC & Coordination

[MsBloom]

Historians of today say about almost every great civilisation in human history that they themselves never knew they ended when they did. It is only in the rear view mirror we can determine when it happened. For all we know our modern civilisation could be determined by future historians to have ended years, perhaps even decades, ago.

First there had been the pandemic with the outbreak of COVID, then war had come as Russia invaded Ukraine, and now … July 2025 a month dreaded by astronomers as the month when the sun reached the maximum of its 11 year cycle and this peak in solar activity would indeed be the big one, an event...

Thinking about adding a second or even third character. Any roles you think ought to be filled?

 

[MsBloom]

Well. You could perhaps put a character in one or both of the other two factions.

The Road Warriors have a leader, a mechanic and an enforcer already (the latter two basically just waiting for a chance to overthrow the leader). Not sure what else they might need at the time other than a few side characters.

Since we are still waiting for @DarkDreamer9110 to make a leader The Activists only really have a semi-neutral hacker with some as yet undisclosed skills in the art of sabotage and close quarters combat. She might also be packing a pistol.

Then again. The ECO faction could use a MacGyver type engineer.

 

[MsBloom]

So where do we start?

Once @DarkDreamer9110 post their characters I was thinking of first posting the premise as an opener and then go straight for a scene where The Activists attack The Road Warrior's HQ trying to sabotage their access to fuel.

Unless someone else has a better idea of course.

 

[Zavaya]

That sounds good to me

 

[MsBloom]

I have now made my first side character which will appear in a sort of parallel side story along with @Colonel_Liam's character Aoife which eventually might join the main story.

 

[MsBloom]

I have posted a link to the main story thread in the top post. So far it is just the background for the story (same as in the interest thread) but I will write an actual starter and have it up some time today.

I will also add the link to the main story thread to both the character thread and the OoC thread.

 

[MsBloom]

Starter post for all four of my characters (so far) is now up. There is mention of an NPC Wolfie which is open for any with a character in The Road Warriors to play as they see fit. I will add him to a list of NPC in the character thread some time later.

For now looking forward to seeing everyone's introductory posts.

 

[DarkDreamer9110]

Hey. Sorry I'm still behind on getting everything up. I'm working on my Activist character, and will try to get that and the intros done tomorrow.

 

[MsBloom]

No rush. I know the feeling.

And I know you are worth the wait ...

 

[Colonel_Liam]

Hmmm... do I want to trust Bloom's judgement?

 

[MsBloom]

Have you known me to be wrong?


(Don't answer that.)

[MsBloom]

*Hopes @Colonel_Liam doesn't run out of fingers and start counting toes ...

 

[Colonel_Liam]

*unties his shoes*

 

[MsBloom]

*grabs a clothes pin for their nose and hides.*

 

[Colonel_Liam]

This is why I have trust issues.

Yeah. Sorry. I know y'all are waiting on me. I'm struggling with getting the muse going.
