A fight for survival in a semi post-apocalyptic setting; inspired by films like the Hunger Games and Maze Runner and TV like The 100; a group of children and young adults will strive to stay alive long enough to find out why they are here and just what the hell is going on! Blame will no doubt fall on the corps, or technos, or dragons…just about anyone could be behind it, are you brave enough to pitch in and find out?

As part of my ongoing 2075/6 game world, I’m looking for players to take on the role of children dragged from their normal lives (as normal as things get in the SR universe anyway) and thrust into a strange and lethal environment by forces unknown. Initially I want this to be a short game, about three to four months real time, if it seems to be going really well I could extend this of course. It will be fairly freeform so people may well drop in and out and I will be deliberately vague about where everyone is so that there’s scope for that and for new people to pitch in whenever they want to.

The protagonists will be children between 12 and 21, from all walks of life, who wake up with no real idea of where they are or how they got here. The environment is hot and desolate, there’s no world spanning matrix to connect to and no sign of civilisation to appeal to for help. Terrain is similar to the Calfree State, a mix of mountains, forest and desert. The group is about 40-50 strong, about two thirds male, with roughly a bell curve in the age distribution, the majority being 15-16 years old.

It will be fairly RP heavy and I will dodge as many dice rolls as I can. You will have a fairly free rein to post IC events provided it doesn’t contradict what someone has already posted.

Character Gen:
Sum to 8, runner build

Race:
Metahumans and metahuman variants only, so no pixies, shifters, infected or AIs.

Attributes:
Minimum Willpower of 4 please (there are reasons!)

Qualities:
All positives are fine (apart from possibly Restricted Gear), I will have a veto on negative qualities that won’t affect the game in any way, eg. Day Jobs. SIN qualities are fine because it will be representative of how others in the group view you and what inevitable cliques you might end up in (or shit list you end up on!). Amnesia is a particularly prominent negative quality among the group but only level 1, I don’t have the brain capacity to deal with lvl 2!

Gear:
You’ll start with no equipment at all other than some flats, there will be a broken open crate of basic food rations and sterilisation tabs. The only gear you can carry with you are implants, gene mods and tattoo qi foci (Given the notes below I might be persuaded to allow other foci to be taken as tattoos). Bear in mind that you’ll need to justify where any mods came from, particularly for one of the younger children.

Magic:
Be warned, there will be a permanent background count of 2 at all times (possibly higher in really bad places), so that’s -2D to all actions aided by magic. That should be a hefty disadvantage so you’ll need to be smart about spells / powers and their use.

Matrix:
No gear so no matrix access. No wifi bonuses for installed gear. Implanted commlinks will be able to talk to each other and any TMs, any technos will be able to communicate amongst themselves freely within a certain range (no mesh to project the signal through). That’s not to say that you won’t encounter matrix tech, but certainly not to begin with.

Contacts:
Don’t worry about these for now, they will represent a pool of points that can be allocated during the game as and when needed.

Advancement / Rewards:
As this is part of my 2075 campaign any rewards can be used on any game, although as this one is a little different any cash rewards won’t be applied to this one and gear will be acquired through the game IC.

Character concepts can either be posted here or in the master OoC thread which will be used for all the OoC once the game kicks off. All players need an Obsidian Portal account (it’s free to get one!) and maintain their character there. Bonus karma is awarded for good background, character images etc as per the OoC outlines.
