Plot/Lore
The apocalypse has long since come and gone. Natural disasters (tornadoes, tsunamis, droughts, etc.) have weaved through the world. Zombies arose and began a plague unknown to mankind before. Demons crawled from the depths of volcanos and weaved a path of destruction onto the earth. Few humans survived these cataclysmic terrors. Those who did found that there were rarely anymore safe places they could retreat to...
Except one. A place known as "Eden". None of the natural disasters destroyed this haven. Zombies and demons that try to enter it immediately wither and die. Eden is a huge plot of land, as big as a city, and hundreds of humans found refuge within it's circle of unexplained life, light, and goodness...
And that's how it was for 100 years.
Generations later, when stories of demons and zombies and a much bigger world beyond Eden became nothing more than old wives tales and warnings to scare children into obedience, a great council meeting was called. This was the first great meeting called in decades. Everyone in the city attended, and had to witness in horror as the great elderwoman Reya explained that "Multiple reports from scouts and hunters found that Eden's force of life is shrinking. Crops near the edge of Eden's borders have died, as well as grass and trees. The plague of dead in the outside world is creeping into Eden. We only have 10 days or so before Eden's force of life completely shrinks and Eden stops existing. We'll be left in a barren and desolate landscape just like the rest of the planet and we'll have to figure out how to survive from there... Unless we can restore it. Me and the council have decided it best to choose from our population the most capable people. They can venture out past Eden and restore our circle of vitality." And then with her old wrinkly fingers she shakily pulls out a piece of paper from her pocket and begins to read off a list of names.
C1
Probably the strongest one in the village. They come from a long line on lumberjacks, even generations past from when their great-whatever found their way into Eden during the disasters. They're not great at tactical fighting, but you've never seen a person wrestle as well as they can.
C2
The trainee to the captain of the guard. They've been a hunter and gone past Eden before, but never past the forest that surrounds Eden in the South, or the mountains that surround Eden in the North. They are great at mixed martial arts and a multitude of weapons.
C3
Probably the weakest of the group physically, but they've always excelled in school (Yes, there's a school in Eden, but only one big one). They are good at reading weather patterns, knowing about dangerous plants or animals, and best of all, they've inherited a journal from their parent that details the attributes of zombies and demons.
C4
The most athletic of the bunch. They've broken many records when they were in the school track team, they've been an acrobat for as long as they could remember, and they are better at climbing than they are walking (Bran from GOT style). If they were given a name to their skills, it's probably be "Ninja"
C5
The second weakest, next to C3. They are the child of a member of the council. They've been class president, they've started fundraisers, and overall they're just a very good leader and very proactive. They would be considered the diplomat of the group, as well as the cartographer since their parent from the council would ask that of them.
C6
A half-demon that sleazes on the outskirts of Eden. Scouts and hunting parties would have seen them roaming around, but C6 doesn't really try to bother them. The scouts tell of C6 like a fond cat that they leave food out for (like hunting for a rabbit and leaving half of the carcass there for C6) and C6 may even recognize C2. C6 can hardly speak, read, or write english, but they seem to understand most things.
C7
C7 is an outsider who lives completely away from Eden. They've heard of the place, of course, but they've never been able to enter it. They find the group and help them out as a sort of guide, and they explain how the outside world works every now and then. They mostly keep to themselves, and their intentions for helping the group are unknown.
I'm gonna be playing C7 because I'll be able to lore dump through them and hash out the world more as the journey goes on. Since C7 lives outside of Eden though, until they are introduced I'll be controlling all of the council members (save for C5's parent) as well as guards and cityfolk and such.
Anyone wanting to play C6 should also note that being half-demon doesn't grant you special powers (sorry), but a half demon does have horns and a tail, and they are immune to becoming a zombie. They can also attune themselves to 1 item. This means that even if the item they're attuned with is stolen or broken, they can summon the item again fully restored. Most half-demons use this attunement ability for weapons since the world sucks and they need it.

Yes, unfortunately you either get a weapon or a pet. I can be lenient on what type of pet you choose, but it can't be too unbelievable (Good example: C5 has a rare beetle that produces ink that they use to help them make maps and take notes. Bad example: C4 has a straight up dragon). You start with only 1 weapon if you choose a weapon, but you can gather more or ask for more before leaving Eden.
I've typed enough as is, and as far as rules go y'all should know the basics (no godmodding, no mary sues, no one liners, and ask before joining). If you have questions about the world, feel free to ask. I might make a side thread if need be. -
