I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic stuff, so imma join soon. As for the currency idea, why not do what Metro 2033 did for theirs? Pre-apocalypse ammunition, instead of the shoddy homemade ammo. Its worth considerable wealth and the (new) gov't seems to have plenty of it.

I awaken in a chair in this...this dark room.

John:Hello?HEELLOOO?!

You are strapped to a chair in a purple spaceship as Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith kick alien ass.

"So, you're saying the bomb is not really a bomb, and that it is just to get them to hand over their weaponry?" Said the corporal. "Of course, we don't have THAT kind of firepower, but as long as the people don't know that it is the shell of a Thermonuclear Warhead, then we will get what we want." The radio operator replied with a smirk. the helicopter pulled into the station, and the Radio Op called out, "Did they buy it?" The pilot gave him a smile and a double thumbs up. The Radio Op smiled back, gratefully.

While that is clever, I thought we were still using pre-apocalyptic ammo. :o

I guess, assuming most of it survived the nukes. :P Other than that id think that the coins idea would be good, I mean, really, the only use paper money would have is for keeping you warm. lol

Name: Markus Warsak
Status: Healthy
Location: Outside of City
Items (4/4): [1/4] on back, 6 string acoustic, [3/4] in bag, Geiger counter, M1911 pistol (one clip), misc items.
Gained: nothing
Lost: nothing
Wearing: NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) hooded coat, gas mask, etc.
Backstory: Markus is traveling with a caravan of traders from the northern Midwest, since little to no nuclear activity has happened there, the area is thriving.
---------------------------------------------------
A caravan of off road vehicles rumbled down a highway, the lead vehicle flashed its parking lights- twice, the entire convoy began to slow, then stopped. Men jumped out of their trucks, armed and jumpy.

The lead hummer opened its doors, three people got out, the first, was a large and commanding man. He was the head of this trip; the other two were his scouts, they simply called him the manager.

"We'll stop here and set up camp, Max and Kasey, tomorrow its gonna' be your jobs to find a good place in the city for our... businesses." He said- a greedy look on his face.

"Check the area boys! We don't want to burden ourselves with buryin' bandits tonight!"

The men hurried off, setting a perimeter and setting camp, a technical drove off searching for threats.
Max looked off in the distance, the sun was setting behind the silhouette of buildings that was the city, New York it was called, or something. He had never seen such tall towers in his life, just the flatness of the plains.

Kasey was Mark’s longtime friend; growing up together they became practically brothers. Kasey was a man of few words, silent and very thoughtful; he was the one reading while Mark was out fighting.

“And about our payments?”

 “Oh, do you jobs right, and it’s yours once we enter the city.”

Both scouts smiled at each other, after this little ‘mission’ they’ll be pretty much set, trading, getting rich, and living life to its fullest in the city.

“Remember, your there to find out the news, political climate, best market areas, current governments, and among other things, actually talk to the government about setting up shop for a bit, god forbid we need to turn this thing into a black-market operation.”

The manager paused

“But better believe me, we will if we have to!” He said, chuckling to himself.

Can I still join? c:

   Name: Geneto
   Status: Perfect health (100.0%), Shaken (was recently shot at).
   Location: Climbing a ladder up the backside of a half-demolished bar which happens to be owned by the guy who was shooting at me
   Items (2/4): Pistol (4/6 rounds loaded), HHMSAR (Hand-Held Memory Storage And Retrieval. I made it and if I loose it I stop at nothing to get it back. If someone breaks it I will loving kill their ass as well as anyone related to them. I BUILT THIS WITH THESE TWO HANDS AND YOU'RE NOT TAKING IT AWAY! >:C)
   Gained: Pistol (4/6 rounds loaded; reason bar owner was shooting at me)
   Lost: Nothing
   Wearing: Blue shirt (87.4%), teal pants (73.7%), black shoes (32.8%), and a dark grey hat (2.3%, disintegrate on strong puff of wind).

      Backstory:
   The last thing that I remember before I blacked out was seeing a pressure wave barrelling through the air and a wall collapsing on top of me.
   It has been forever since then. I've lived Hell on Earth twenty thousand times or more. Each time I manage to claw my way to a fairly stable position, someone or something takes it all away. Last time this happened? Only an hour ago. The only thing I've had since before the start of this madness is my HHMSAR.
   Two years ago, I was fighting for my life on the streets. One year ago, I was in the top of a small hierarchy of control. Today, I'm fighting for my life on the streets. Oh well, if there's one thing all this teaches you, it's that you can't expect to stay in one position in this place -- unless the position is dead.
   Now I'm racing up some old bar's ladder while the owner is about to come barrelling around the corner and turn me into a leadhead with his shotgun. Why did I have to steal his pistol in the first place?
   I could shoot him -- no, I couldn't. I could have shot him when I swiped the pistol from him, but I didn't. If I couldn't do it three minutes ago, how can I do it now?


   I am now racing along the top of the roof trying to avoid shotgun shells. I look around for quick shelter which is NOT likely to ruin the rest of my day.
   Spotting one, I quickly hide in it while the owner keeps running by, jumps toward another rooftop, missteps, and falls off a two-story building. "Ouch," I think to myself.

I woke up the next morning. Jake was still sleeping. I removed the shot from my neck and headed for the training course. I wasn't giving up hope. First was perfecting the wall. I made a dash for it but didn't quite make it up high enough. I tried again. This time I made it to the top but I knew it wasn't enough. One more go. I sprinted and leaped clear over the wall. My landing was a bit rough but i was fine. Next was the maze. I dashed through it but just like last time I ended up at the wrong side. I tried again. It took me a bit but I finally made it. "Not fast enough" I said to myself. I attempted one last time. Sprinted through in record time. Finally was the rope. Since it ignites I only had one shot at it. I ran as fast as I could go and leaped at the rope. Grabbed it halfway up. I had to react fast since the rope ignited. I got a good grip and scurried up the rope. I was almost there but the rope snapped. "%$&#!" I shouted. I made a last resort Self Delete bomber and let the fast igniting rope launch me to the ledge above. And by that I meant have the fire's final burst from running out of stuff to burn launch me ahead. It worked flawlessly. I took a few steps and faceplanted onto the floor breathing heavily. I knew I was supposed to have great stamina but this was pitiful. I left the training grounds and made my way outside. I began to do laps around the island to prefect my stamina. Little did I know Mr. Boss was watching me the entire time.

Name: Max Falaffle
Location: Darkfire Island (Training Grounds-Island perimeter)
Status: Working Out
Items (0/4): Nothing
Items Being Worn: Dragon Style Clothing
Gained: Nothing
Lost: Nothing

Oh BTW Braux, I'm referred to as Max so I suggest you just go by your normal name so nobody screws us up.

I would join this, but since I rarely post using my desktop, I dunno if I have the vigilance to keep  doing the BCCode for the status bar.
So meh.

Oh shat I love Jorici's story but I lost track after he gets heavily radiated :I

I must start my own story

Name: Anthony
Status: Confused and dazed (Health 100%)
Items (4/4): 3 pieces of partially radiated meat, 9mm rounds (21), partially damaged and rusty 9mm pistol, and a 9mm shotgun (newly made and never used)
Items on hand: 9mm pistol fully loaded
Items worn: Police wear found on a radiated body
Gained: Police wear and 9mm shotgun
Lost: Some ammo in a little scoff earlier and a hooker :/

Backstory: I wake up to the sight of me covered in blood and a dead corpse lying off the side of the bed. I must have been knocked out for a while or I must have taken a strong concotion to make me lose my memory of the previous night. I find my trusty 9mm pistol on the nightstand. I am scared right now. I will jump at the slightest movement. These first few moments could've been better. A piece of window starts to fall off. I shoot my 9mm pistol a few times believing it was a person. It just turned out to be a window piece with some dust from the previous storm. I could now hear a person walking through the doorway which was already starting to fall apart. A police officer walked in. Apparently, she was well armed with 9mm rounds and a new shotgun. I decided to let her live long enough so I don't get embarassed by sitting naked in front of the female cop or to listen to a story before being knocked out or both.

She apparently had a very short story before me. She walked in on me raping a prostitute so she knocked me out and shot the hooker. She told me her backstory which wasn't really interesting. I then pulled my 9mm on her and shot her in the head. I scavenged what I could, especially what she was wearing (:3) and her shotty. I started to rape her body clean until I was bored and started to head out into the apocalyptic wastes.

"Mordecai."
"Uh... Who's there? Elise?" The person sighed, subdued.
"No, papa! It's Anna!" I grunted before coughing briefly. I shuffled out of bed and
stretched my back as far as it would go. Taking Anna's hand, she led me into our 'kitchen.' The pot was over an open flame, the smell of stew emenating from it. I sat down next to it, enjoying the warmth. "We need to harvest before nightfall."
"I know."
"Then we must be quick!" Anna's arms were thick in muscle for her age, but they only showed when strained. As we walked over to the fenced exscuse of a garden we planted, I spotted an empty bottle sitting on the wooden gate. "Bet you can't hit it!" Puh-tooey, daughters think they can tease easily.

"Yeah well-" I took aim with my shotgun and fired, hitting not the bottle, but a dying eggplant vine. "Humph, I'm gettin' too old for this stuff."







I apologize for not doing a status bar.

Name: Charles Watts
Status: Recovering from shock (Healthy)
Location: Hospital Lobby
Items (2/4): Bloody rubber gloves, Doctor's Toolkit
Gained: Certificate of Successful Heart Surgery
Lost: Some of my Sanity
Wearing: Bloody Surgeon Overcoat
[OPTIONAL] Backstory: As a child, I read many, many, MANY books to prepare for my job as a successful doctor. I even did my first successful arm surgery at the age of 17. Having a successful job, I was able to gather enough money to retire in luxury with my beautiful wife, Sharling. Unfortunately, I was a bit freaked out because I just completed my first deep heart surgery. I should recover when I return to the comfort my Wife provides.

@jockey whoops! Ill attempt to change it once I'm on an actual computer.


Daylight was breaking, a small sliver of red light below some purple clouds.

Markus (formally Max) sat on a rock, tying his boots, and breathing in the cold, bitter morning air.
"All those colors, they changed after the war, atmospheric conditions or something along those lines." Kasey remarked.
"strange how much our world has changed..." A uneasyness filled the air. Kasey continued: "Sure if this scouting mission goes well we'll be comfortable until we have to return home, but what if these easterners were hostile? Stuck in an unknown land filled with possibly dangerous people."

Markus just said "look, we do our job, get paid, possibly laid, and we'll kick some ass if we have to..." he let out a short laugh.
"your right, c'mon, let's see if the manager is up yet."
The two set off for the manager's tent.

Name: Anthony
Status: Satisfied and still dazed
Items (3/4): 9mm ammo (21), 9mm pistol, and a new 9mm shotty.
Items on hand: 9mm pistol half loaded
Gained: None so far
Lost: Sanity and meat

I continued on my journey. I haven't found bread or water or anything in a while. I lost my meat somewhere and that was supposed to get me by for a day or two. My sanity level was lowering and lowering. I was ready to jump into the radiated water and get mutated and eaten by whatever the hell was in there.

Until, a person stopped me....
