RUINATION takes place in the near future (2027), in which North Korea has obtained multiple atomic bombs, and launched them into the United States. These bombs hit many of the United State’s major cities, including Washington D.C.; New York City, New York; Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; and Houston, Texas.
Among these bombs were dirty bombs, which caused a strain of a viral infection to sweep throughout the United States. The most common symptoms of this viral infection are sharpened teeth, as well as strengthened jaw muscles. The organs of the new-found mutants rejected anything other than raw human flesh, as well as attacking their brain, causing them to forget things. They also experienced a boost in physical abilities, causing them to have increased muscle growth, as well as them experiencing newfound agility.
The gangs appear to have died down for the most part, mostly as a lack of resources, people assume. They are very unorganized, yet vicious and brutal. Most survivors that encounter them don’t end up living long enough to tell the tale. They are all separated, and appear to have no direct leader. The two major gang’s are the crxxips and bloods.
(If you wish to role-play as a gang member, you only cannot role-play as one who has command over other gang members, without permission.)
There is the remnants of a battalion of marines, only about 100 or so strong now. They took up hold in the chxurch and fortified the areas around it. They keep to themselves for the most part, but never turn down a struggling survivor. If you have a gun on your person, they shoot first and ask questions later. Their supplies appear to be endless, yet they have no vehicles.
(If you wish to role-play as a marine, you will have to PM aIexithymia, or TheLastMalachi asking them about the position, and then they will figure it all out.)
The major locations in the game:
The Chxurch: It has been taken over by the remaining marines left stationed in the nearby military base. The area is very quiet, and appears to be fortified. No one really goes there though, for fear of getting shot by the marines.
The Mall: It was quickly occupied and manned by a group of survivors, and is often just referred to as ‘The Mall’. The group of survivors don’t call themselves anything special, and they accept just about anyone in, as long as you don’t look too shady.
The Supermarket: It was cleared out during the first few days of the bombs, in a hopeless attempt to stock up for the nuclear winter that was coming. It is mostly empty, other than the few people who take refuge inside every once in awhile. However, you can hear the groans from the mutated humans that appear to be trapped on the top floor. Not a very pleasant place to sleep in, to say the least.
The Neighborhood: Mostly occupied by the gangs that were once rampant throughout the city. They are probably one of the more dangerous locations in terms of people, there doesn’t seem to be very many mutants around this location. The gang’s constantly battle one-another and are always fighting for territory.
