2015 saw the beginning of World War Three, and humanities destruction. By 2020, nuclear weapons had devastated the Earth, making in uninhabitable. Luckily, in 2016, peaceful movements all over the world began to build underground tunnels in 30 different countries for refugees to take shelter. These refugees were the only survivors.

 

Together, they worked to build an underground system to live in, complete with an underground city in the centre. And for a while, everyone lived in peace, equality, and without fear of war or violence. Anyone who did commit horrific crimes was sent to the surface to die.

However, in the way of humanity, they did not learn from their previous mistakes, and classes began to emerge once again, along with governments, who favoured their own comfort over the lives of those who had been forced into the lower classes.
The rich began to consume resources at an alarming rate, creating artificial lights to mimic sunlight instead of being content with what they already had, and eating three times their daily rationed amounts. The poor began to starve, and the rich began to complain what they had was not enough.
Recently, criminals for much lesser crimes have been abandoned on the desolate wasteland above, and now, in the year 3020, the government has began to take countermeasures against the lack of resources by sending innocent people as well. This includes:

  • Second born children, and those born after them.
  • Orphaned children.
  • People over a certain age.
  • Those unable to work for any reason.
  • Those unable to read or write.
  • Anyone with a contagious or long term illness.
  • Anyone who has family members who have committed a crime.

The surface world is a wasteland infested with mutated humans and animals alike, and roaming criminals turned cannibal to survive. Nature has reclaimed every inch of every building and vehicle, and only whispers of past human inhabitation remain.

 

 

The characters of this rp are unfortunates who are being loaded into the back of vans and driven to the surface, and eternal banishment. They are completely unaware of what is waiting for them above, or how they will survive once they get there. 

 

Profiles: 

 

Name: 

Age: 

Appearance:  

Reason for banishment: 

Other: (optional.) 

 

You can also choose to be a criminal or mutated human but your character will already be on the surface and will also likely be a cannibal. You can also have as many characters as you want, but make sure you can handle them all. 

 

Rules: 

 

  1. No God-modding/super powerful characters who swoop in and save the day every five seconds. 
  2. On the other hand, don't make your character so weak they have to be rescued every five minutes. It's annoying and no one ever wants to stop what they're doing to rescue the same character over and over.
  3. Everyone's characters are equally important. If it turns out that your character becomes a centre of many essential plots, then fair enough, but make sure you let others have their plot twists/back stories/side plots/etc. Don't ignore them or be like: "Ok...BUT NOW LOOK AT ME!"
  4. Don't kill someone else's character without their permission. It's rude.
  5. If you want to leave or feel you can no longer continue for whatever reason, kill your character or make them leave the group. Don't leave everyone stuck in a situation depending on your character.
  6. Violence and romance is encouraged - especially violence - but don't go overboard.
  7. Try to use correct grammar/punctuation/spelling.Typos are inevitable but we're not texting.
  8. Have fun. ^w^

"They were put on a van and it went broom broom! All the way up the tunnel!" 

A crowd of children were sat on the stairs of an important looking building, the artificial light illuminating their wide, innocent, oblivious eyes, as they watched van after van pass them. They were going somewhere the children could only imagine; the surface world. It was a mystery to them, and as they watched in envy, they saw, peering through the bars on the back of the vans, children their own age. They were off on an adventure into the vast unknown above them, and it was so exciting to watch. 

 

Inside the vans, it was a different story, however. The atmosphere was tense and dismal, and everyone longed for family they knew they would never see ever again. The unknown above them was surely their doom, and there was nothing they could do about it. 

Those lucky enough to be on this journey with family, or close friends, huddled together, and a few people were humming comforting songs to terrified small children.

Tatsuya had managed to say farewell to his parents and twin sister whom was only allowed to stay because they'd been born at the same time. Although now sitting in the dark, odourous van, it didn't seem like much of a consolation prize. It was overly warm and sweaty in the van, there was people jammed in like a heard of cattle off to the slaughter house. The sad fact was, that was almost a kinder fate than the one they could be facing. He could hear children sobbing and even older people to. Tatsuya wished he could do something to stop the suffering but the truth was, there wasn't anything he could do for now.

Kassija sat in the corner of the van trying to drown out the sounds around her. She'd crawled into a small ball almost like a foetus in the womb and hopes the surface wasn't as bad as the stories she'd heard about it. She was exhausted and hadn't slept well for days and it seemed the motion of the van as it drove up the long weary tunnel, lulled her to sleep.

Harkot and Katana sat side by side trying to keep a pair of young brother and sister twins from having panic attacks, they were each taking turns telling different stories. It seemed to be working for a while and then the children fell asleep.

Jess sat at the back of the van not crying, or worrying about what awaited them above ground, she was totally void if all emotion. She just peered out a small hole in the walk of the truck, it wasn't like there was anything to see it was pitch black.

Lola sung quietly to a little girl who was leaning against her, the girl had been crying hard and Lola told her not to be afraid, that everything would be ok, and then started singing her a lullaby.

The triplets sat in silence, half squashed against the bars of the van as the terrain below its wheels grew rougher. 

Rowan was weaving wool together between his hands, which was difficult without needles, but he made it work. And Jack had his arm wrapped around Harley's shoulder as she slept, apparently free of stress. 

Shou, meanwhile, had his hands on the shoulders of two children, talking animatedly about adventures of the surface world he had heard when he was younger. 

All too soon, they stopped ascending, and rolled down a dark dirt tunnel towards a heavy looking metal door. The same, thick metal served as a ceiling for the tunnel, ensuring no one could dig their way back down once they had been banished. The door ahead was unlocked, and a mechanical device pushed it open slowly, flooding the tunnel with a different kind of light. 

The vans rolled out one by one, automatically, and once the final van left the tunnel, completely exposed to the burning sun overhead, the door creaked closed once more. Almost immediately, the doors of the cages unlocked, and they were alone. Around them, in various places, some half hidden in the dirt, were other vans identical to theirs, most empty. But a horrifying sight of decaying bodies and skeletons, who appeared to have died struggling for an exit, remained in a small number of the vans who's locks had failed to release them. In a few of the driver's seats, androids that looked as though they had been dragged from the deepest trenches of the uncanny valley sat, sun bleached and broken. Others, it appeared, had worked out how to leave the vans, and wandered off. Androids similar to those had driven this new batch of victims to exile, and it crossed a couple of minds whether these ones would manage to get out of the vans as well.

Jess was one of the first to jump out of the van. At this point she didn't care if she got killed. She looked around and then back at the people who were looking at her. "Are you just going to sit there and end up like them?" She asked harshly and then screamed at the top of her lunges. They were topside, why weren't they happy. They didn't have to hide in the darkness anymore. She smiled at the confused looks on peoples faces.
Harkot and Katana slowly stepped out of the van both smiling as the sun hit their faces, it felt so good. When the girl howled Katana smiled and then joined her. He smiled as people began to join in and jump out of the van.
Lola was helping people from the van and watching the events unfold with a scowl on her face . Why were they so happy about this?

Tatsyua got out of the van when they finally managed to open the doors it had seemed to take longer than it should have but he was relieved when the door eventually came open. The sight around was horrific and the bright light was hurting his eyes. He supposed it would take some getting used to, if he managed to survive. He was a little startled when he heard someone shouting, surely they weren't that exicited to be banished to this desolate wasteland.

Kassija woke up with a startle when the van came to a sudden stop, she waited until everyone else had gotten out, and was about to begin to venture out herself when she heard someone shouting, wary about all the commotion she decided to wait a few minutes in case there was any trouble.

One of the last ones to step out of the van was a small, young looking girl called Kaya. She heard the shouts in the background and immediately it worried her. She still had to get used to her new surroundings, she had no idea who these people were and if they would help her. She decided to feel around until she bumped into someone. "oh sorry.." she mumbled. A second later she heard shouting again, this time closer. Out of instinct she started to turn around, but before she could she was pulled to the ground.

Harkot watched as someone threw something in the excitement, it was about to his some young girl in the head and he quickly pushed a person out of the way and grabbed the girl by the wrist, pulling her down right as the object wizzed past them. "God damn did you not see that coming straight for you?!" He asked harshly but then he noticed her eyes and shuttered, he felt awful. "S-sorry. Are you alright? I didn't hurt you did I?" He asked checking over the girl for any marks.

Kaya blinked her eyes a couple of times, internally checking if anything was hurting. "No.. no I think I'm fine," she told the stranger, "would you mind helping me up?" She hated this feeling of helplessness, but until she knew how to deal with her new surroundings she didn't have a choice. She could feel the stranger helping her back up again. "Thanks for saving me," she smiled, "the name is Kaya by the way."

Shou climbed carefully from the van and joined the people who seemed to be throwing a party. To be honest, he had been almost excited about coming to the surface as well, even if it meant leaving his father behind. 

The triplets, however, were among those rolling their eyes at the people bouncing around on the horrific landscape. Harley went to examine the skeletons in one of the vans, a look of mild interest on her face. Luckily the van they had been in opened...She doubted the ones partying would stop to let them out. It would be near impossible, anyway. 

Rowan turned back to the van he and his siblings had stepped out of, and saw a girl still huddled inside, frightened by all the shouting. "It's alright," he called in to her. "It's not so bad out here." Smiling, he held out his hand to help her out. 

Jack, on the other hand, had walked up to another van, where something seemed wrong. "Won't it open?" he asked, his voice sounding indifferent,, but his eyes betraying his concern. The people trapped inside were pushing and shoving one another, obviously terrified by the sight of the dead bodies. 

"Help us!" one woman screamed, trying to hold her baby out of the way of the elbows and fists waving dangerously close to her face. "Please!"

Harkot smiled as the girl spoke and took her hand gently in his as she introduced herself, shaking it softly her introduced himself aswell, "My name is Harkot. I'm here with my brother Katana, do you have anybody with you? I-if you don't mind me asking?" He blushed a little, but he couldn't help it, he was concerned about the girl.
Lola heard people shouting for help and quickly made a B-line for the other van. She looked at the doors with the boy who had also noticed the trapped people then looked at him saying, "if we can get a strong bit of metal we can pry the hinges off and the door will come right off..."
Jess had noticed something moving in the distance and wanted to go check it out but faught the urge, everyone was quieting down and people were starting to gather around one of the other vans.

Kaya smiled shyly at the careful question, nobody ever tried to be careful with her when they were underground. "That's alright Harkot. No I'm not with anyone, I don't have any siblings.. " she trailed of when she realized people were walking away from their van. She turned to the sound, "what are they doing?" she said, more to herself than anyone else. She moved in the direction of the sound, stopping when she felt people close by. She heard someone say they needed something to pry open the door. She realized a van must have refused to open. She heard a baby cry and suddenly felt the urge to get these people out grow twice as big. "Maybe if we all pushed and pulled at the door at the same time, we'll be strong enough to rip it out," she called out.

Tatsuya heard all the commotion and headed over to help the others try and open the last van. It was the least he could do was to try.

Kassija heard someone come back to the van and was speaking to her. She looked up slowly and saw the boy, he looked different to most of the people she'd seen while they'd been underground. Kind almost. She stumbled forward a little, grabbing the hand he'd extended and followed them outside, hoping it wasn't all still shouting and screaming out there. Kassija smiled at the boy as a thankyou

Harkotstood by Kaya still making sure she was ok then when she suggested everyone pulling at the door he quickly thought and said to her, "stay here, I'm going to see if there is any way to open the doors in the drives seat. He quickly went an grabbed Katana by the collar dragging him up to the drivers side door an they ripped the door off and what they saw gave them a chill, the android's battery had died and it was sprawled out all over the control panel.

After Harkot left to look at the driver's side, Kaya just stood there, trying to make out how many people were around her. She wasn't exactly sure how many, but she could hear a lot of people. She could hear the people close to her breathing and the small shuffling of feet every know and then. The people in the van were still shouting and desperately trying to get out, they didn't want to end up like the deserted bodies scattered around other vans. She didn't know what to do, so she started pushing people out of her way, making her way over to the shouting. One of her legs bumped into the back of the van and she felt around with her hands until she found the front of the door. She knelt down and put her fingers around the links of the cage. "Don't worry, we'll get you out," she said quietly.

Jack, along with four others, hurried away to find a piece of metal to pry open the door, while many others were already trying to pull it open with their own strength. But the crowd inside the van was becoming increasingly impatient. In their panic, fights had already begun to break out, and those who wished to stay out of the violence were being crushed against the bars. 

Harley quickly joined the crowd around the van, and reached up to the woman with the baby. "Hey, push him through the bars," she ordered. Fortunately, the baby only appeared to be a few days old, and so he fit through the bars with ease. Once Harley had him in her arms, she moved away from the crowd, looking a little awkward. She had never held a baby before, and this one was throwing a tantrum and making a lot of noise.  

Shou followed the two brothers into the front of the van, his previous smile replaced by an anxious determination to be of some help. 

"That android doesn't look right," he commented. And sure enough, thin wisps of smoke were rising from the broken machine. 

 

Rowan stayed behind with Kassija, worried that more drama would send her running back into the van. Besides, the others seemed to have it covered.
