So, I'm gonna do my fancy stuff last, because I miss my fancy stuff. But first let me state this is a free form RP lacking any real solid mechanics. This was made on the basis of an odd idea I had and on a spur of the moment 'hey lets see if this gets any interest' thought. So all this being said I do kind of want this to have a bit more serious of tone then most of what I normally do.
So without more rambling, I'll go ahead and write up my fancy stuff to give some setting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The trio of gas mask wearing men waded through the toxic miasma with their heavy back packs on and their steel rifles in hand. The leader slid over a fallen tree and looked around. He saw a few derelict buildings that had become filled with this damnable toxic air. The bud in his ear beeped and he raised his hand to call a stop.
The two others could hear him take a large breath and then saw him take the canister off of his mask to replace it with a fresh one. He turned to the others and raised his hand to show three fingers, then changed the sign to a 'zero' hand sign and then started walking again. Thirty more minutes before they needed to head back.
The three of them walked for ten more minutes before they walked into a small store. The three of them caught sight of something at the same time and stopped. Only a few feet in front of them, between two aisles of the small store, lay two skeletons, one half the size of the other. Two more victims of the miasma.
That's when they heard the screech. The leader screamed to the others "Jumper!" as a creature leaped through the air and struck him square in the chest. The others shot it and one of them knelt down beside the leader. He waved the man off and said "I'm gone, I'll bleed out before we make it back, and I can feel myself bleeding inside. Just....just take my rifle and go."
The men did as they were told, taking their leader's weapons and running for base.

So, you may have noticed the repeated mentioning of the air being toxic, just gonna make that clear. It's also constantly foggy, with some kind of weird gas hanging in the air that obscures vision. And there are creatures that live in this toxic air that will kill you for food.
That being said there are places with air filters that purify the air to a breathable and safe level for the inhabitants. These are generally the size of a couple of buildings, but there are some that cover small towns that have constructed domes over the town, but those are few and far between.
Anyway, before I start up the IC I'd like to see what kind of story you guys want to do, if anyone is interested in this idea that is. I'm more figuring either we're heading for a specific destination or we're trying to make a large safe area ourselves, but it's open to pretty much any idea at this point.
So here's the CS, which is going to be minimal, really just there to give people an idea of what your character is capable of.

Okay, but what about story ideas guys? I already proposed two but I don't know if you guys would be interested in those two, and since it's free form it's really open to discussion.
-
Maybe a widespread meat livestock would be either pigs or rabbits,
Pigs: They will eat nearly anything, so they would be useful for leather, bones, and meat.
Rabbits: They will eat nearly any type of veggie, they would be useful for leather, furs, and, again, meat.
Also a wisespread crop would be potatoes, radishes and mushrooms.
Potatoes and radishes: Easy to grow
Mushrooms: Can grow nearly anywhere.

...dude the world has gone full blown apocalypse with toxic air and creatures that want to eat you. I mean sure settlements could have kind of live stock but it's not gonna be too wide spread. Also, just a question but how does this pertain to the question asked?
As a side note I'll probably put up the IC today.

Ok, here's a plot line:
A scavenger group find a large unopened steel blast door in the basement that can only be opened with a keycard. A search of the building will find clues to the whereabouts of finding one. A heavily toxic and dangerous building like a government building or military base will do. What lies on the other side of the steel door will be up to you to decide.
Also I'll post up a character sheet in a little bit. My other recent post has reduced my posting anxiety by a bit.

I dunno, that's all I could think of... Sorry? I guess
-
Nothing to be sorry for, just seemed kind of odd is all.
Also: Yeah that should work Lorknis, thanks.
-
Make sure there's plenty of cheap jumpscare monsters.
I don't know how that would work in a forum RP but whatever.
