This Broken World - discussion and forms

[Wormgod]

There should at least be animals not usually there. Depending on the heat levels there, there may be fire ants. Fire ants are migrating north thanks to global warming. Armadillos are also finding new territory north of their usual areas (aka, Mexico) Also, the New York zoo and Smithsonian zoo boast some exotic populations and breeding programs. Maybe some of them managed to take hold.

I remember on that "Life After People" documentary/what if all humans die show, the dog populations around the world mice with the wild wolf/coyote/fox populations as created new, medium to small sized canine breeds. That's seems extremely likely.
Cats as well created new breeds. With the seeds from groceries, new plants took root. Skyscrapers, with their ability to quickly turn into vertical greenhouses, became a new ecosystem similar to the ecosystems you see in rainforests. Each level had its own little population of plants, insects, birds (as I expect, lidgeons still thrive), and small predators like cats and dogs, and all are descended from the left-behind species. Of course, after five hundred years, nearly every skyscraper fell and those ecosystems were lost. But if some are still remaining, that seems like a likely side-effect of having so many exotic fruit and vedgetables in one area and not eating them all.

Of course, we can't forget the trademarked Glo-fish. The jellyfish gene for bioluminescence, taken and put into tetra fish and then sold as a cheap, easy to raise pet. Imagine taking that gene and putting it into other pets. Look, guys! My cat glows fluorescent pink! Ooooooh! We sell those fish at Wal-mart. It's quite the attraction for the less pet-friendly people who just want an interesting thing to look at.

Edit: just looked at the glofish website. Turns out they glow their fluorescent colors under natural and ultraviolet light. So, they glow all the time.

I've been a bit busy the past few days, but I'll be getting the front updated soon! I am no longer accepting new member for this roleplay, but current members are allowed to add more characters if they so wish. ^-^

I've purposely kept the complete description of this world a bit vague, so that we would be free to discuss what kind of new, mutated wildlife could be there. I like the idea of building ecosystems, as that'd be a fascinating thing to experiment with. :3

[Wormgod]

If that radiation-eating fungus in Chernobyl spreads to the rest of the irradiated world, there may be a new ecosystem, where both sunlight and radiation are at the bottom; the basic energy that every ecosystem is built upon, I mean.

I added a new form to my post! Go check out Drusilla, everybody!

I haven't seen Attack on Titan, but I hear that girl is a real bad***. Or maybe that was the blonde chick...I dunno. Some girl with guns is so awesome and abrasive that her guns never run out of ammo for fear of her wrath.

[Greenleaf]

Good news! ^-^ The roleplay will be starting soon, most likely later tonight.

To start off, the characters will be waking up in the middle of New York city, as you all know; I personally think it'd be best if we spread the characters out a little bit, maybe making them regain consciousness in various adjacent alleyways. How does that sound?

[Roseshine12]

Sure. I like making them separate for now since I have more than one character. x3

Hello, Sansa here! I'm playing Rei Hino so far, and I don't think I'm opening her up to any romantic relationships.

Will the destruction be imminent from the moment the character wakes up? Like could Rei wake up and notice some dead bodies off in a corner?

[Greenleaf]

^ yes, she definitely would notice some corpses around. They all would. :3
I'll be creating the starting post as soon as I can!

[Wormgod]

Hmmmm...okay, extremely creepy question. Are the corpses...safe for a vampire?

[Roseshine12]

Rofl! Well if this is the case, Auriel will likely be quite horrified in the sense of the mass destruction in this new world. x3 It'll make her forget the whole "I'm not supposed to be here!" part for a moment for sure. X3 As for Max and Steel... they'll probably scream their heads off before wondering what happened here after they slap each other to snap themselves out of it. XD

[Greenleaf]

Many of the corpses are infected with the virus, while the rest of them have been killed by other means, such as the natural disasters or even other desperate humans. :3 it's up to Drusilla to chance which ones are safe or not.
I'll be getting the starting post up once I get back from marching band practice. ^-^
