                 Unforgiving Cold

 

 

          

 

 

 

                                The Past:

The Structures appeared at specific spots. One in New York, one in San Fran, Montreal, Vancouver, Mexico City, Brazil, Moscow, Sochi, Rome, London, Cape Town, Cairo, Tokyo, New Delhi, Riyadh, Honolulu, and finally in Beijing. The Structures varied in size, some as tall as sky scrapers, others the size of a bus. They landed with such force that much of each city was leveled or turned to ruins. The respective countries responded with military, medical aid, but some just left their civilians to figure out what the Structures were themselves. It wasn't long before the Crack occurred.  The Crack reffered to many things, the crack in society, the crack in the structures, but mainly the Crack in what was known. Beams of ice swept through the lands as each Structure cracked open and exploded into a fury of snow. Within weeks the entire globe was covered in ice and snow, the Oceans were freezing up and almost all remnants of government and order FELL. To top it all off, beings (assumed to be) from Space began to be spotted all across the Globe... thats when each country went dark, one by one they lost communications with the rest of the world... the aliens began to prowl the world, their goal unknown but their carnage feared. 

                               The Present: (1 Year Later)

You are a survivor, living in the snow-covered New York City. You must fend for yourself, make and break alliances, scavenge for food, choose to run or fight, but most of all you have to SURVIVE. 

 

                                The Rules: 

-You must allow the Mods to act. Their word is final.

-Do not find OP things randomly, if you think it might give you an unfair advantage make a mod request in your post asking if you found the object/goal you want

-No Powergaming

-No Meta-Gaming

-If you think it might be not allowed, don't do it

 

 

 

                    If You Wish To Be A Mod:

Shoot me a PM and we can discuss if you are worthy. There will only be 4 mods (including myself) to start off. But if we increase in number of RPers, the # of Mods will increase as well.

Accepted and as for the horse it's fine but itd be slower than normal since a hard sheet of snow (hardened snow) covers much of the ground.
