Children's Apocalypse | Semi-Lit | Open/Accepting

[Wormgod]

It has been five months since the start of this horrible time. Five months since the first victim was found in El Salvador. The virus spread like no other, infecting everyone who came in contact with it, whether they were protected or not. The worlds governments combined forces and created a vaccine, which was quickly handed out to everyone. Everyone got the vaccine, but people were still dying.

The vaccine was a success, yes, but it only worked on a select amount of the population. Children, unlike every other disease, were the least infected, and the only ones who were saved by the vaccine. It seems to work only on those who have not reached adulthood--those under the age of sixteen. Soon the disease clinics gave vaccines only to kids, not caring who they are. The adults dwined away, leaving only their offspring.

A month ago, the last news station broadcasting--by the cameramans son--declared the last adult dead. A Buddhist monk in Tibet who managed to outrun the virus by living in such a remote location. He caught it from a villager who came to the temple for a last meditation.

Now, a month later, the world is in peril. Gangs are being formed by desperate teens looking for help. They steal whatever supplies they can get from innocent kids and use it among themselves. Nearly all the supplies from the grocery stores are gone-the food is running out. A small band of people is forming in an apartment complex to try and stand up to them. The gangs haven't caught on yet, but they will soon, and they will not be happy...

This is based off if a little-known book called "The Girl Who Owned a City." We will not follow the plot, however, and you do not need any information on the book.

It's the Apocalypse, and gangs rule the world. There are so many that innocent kids are forced to join just to stay alive. The gangs are sucking up all the resources in the area! How is a kid, with no proper training in anything, supposed to stay alive?

A small band of kids in Mellow Meadow Apartment Complex are thinking of just that way. They've recently been attacked by the local gang, Elm Street, and lost horribly. Now they're banding together to think of a way to stop these horrible assailants in their tracks.

Kids are armed with whatever weaponry they can get. Barely any children have guns, and if they do, they're usually in a gang. The usual weapons are baseball bats, kitchen knives, two-by-four wood, or bits of scrap metal. Sometimes kids have something weird, like a whip or a police baton.

The setting is Austin, Texas. It's a big city, full of nearly everything someone could want. Most of the stores have been picked clean by gangs though. It's December, so the temperature is low, but it sill can be hot. It barely ever rains, and some kids have been speaking of wildfires to the east.

The outlying areas are full of cows and ostriches from the farms. Most of these farms are gone; either the livestock escaped into the city or they died from starvation.

Will add more information as needed.

Tess Rules Apply.
Simple.

OOC.
When using OOC, put your words in bracket or paranthesis so I know where the OOC is.

PG-13.
Simple. No extreme violence or romance. Fade to Black. Cussing is okay, but not too much. Use asterisks for anything greater than hell or damn it, and never use a racial slur or the F word.

No Mary/Gary Sues.
Seriously. I will ban you for this.

Semi-Lit.
A paragraph minimum and there is no maximum.
I would like dry much for this to be more literate than semi-literate.

I will add more as needed.

Username: WORhMnGd
Name: Meryl Jones
Age: 16. She was lucky to have survived the virus.
Gender: Female
Appearance: Meryl does not look like she belongs in Texas. She is very pale and constantly gets sunburns from the most minimal time outside. She is skinny, not fit for hard labor, and has the thickest, frizziest, hard to manage brown hair anyone has ever seen. The only thing she has going for her is not being short and not against hard work. She also had no problem with he lack of fashion in the Apocalypse-she wears jeans and a T-shirt. If she can, she doesn't wear a shirt at all, just a sports bra or a tube top. It's not for the look, it's to keep cool in Texas.
Personality: RPed.
History: RPed.
