The Premise In the Summer of 2024, a pack of werewolves started terrorising the country, turning young children and brutally killing their parents. A month later the dead started returning to life. Voldemort was among the first to arrive. By spring 2025, Voldemort and the werewolves had joined forces; Hogwarts, Azkaban and Diagon Alley had been attacked, but Ministry and Order were still standing strong, forcing Voldemort to live in hiding.
On June 18, 2025, everything changed! Voldemort launched an attack on the wizarding world, hitting King's Cross, the Hogwarts Express and the Ministry. While the forces of good spread out to protect the population, Voldemort took over the Ministry – and with it the Wizarding society. The Order and their allies fled to Hogwarts, where Headmaster Severus Snape shielded the school, making it impossible for Voldemort to gain entrance. From there, the Order launched its resistance.
For the rest of the population, it’s comply or be killed, but under the surface, people are trying to find a way to manoeuvre outside the new laws and restrictions. In the meantime an unknown, yet undetected, spell is spreading amongst the Wizarding population, Death Eaters, Order and neutral alike. A spell which has the potential to turn the world upside down once more.

the colony: a post-apocalyptic rpg | | In 2009, the world experienced a global outbreak of a new strain of influenza A/virus subtype H1N1, referred to as novel H1N1 and first identified in April. It was commonly known as swine flu in North America and Mexican Flu in Europe. Deaths were reported worldwide, and concern that the virus would progress and become worse escalated as the death toll rose.
In November 2009, the Netherlands developed the first medicinal treatment for victims of the virus. When it appeared to cure the symptoms, mass production of the drug was ordered just in time for distribution for the seasonal flu season. Within weeks of deployment, reports of returned symptoms hit the media.
People fled in mass exodus from the cities in an attempt to escape its reach, either to government-run evacuation sites or places of their own choosing, but by then it was too late. Instead of treating the virus, the drug attacked the body, allowing the virus to adapt and become a new strain of supervirus not even the original vaccine could prevent. It spread worldwide in a matter of days, with no amount of damage control stopping it. Only one in every five hundred survived.
By April 2010, one year after H1N1's first reported case and a mere five months after the medicine was distributed, the world went silent. With the power grid shut down, there was no way to know for certain who was alive. Those naturally immune to the virus who survived suffered famine, further disease, and the violent tendencies of others out for themselves. There was one bright spot in the west, though: Las Vegas. There a group of survivors found each other and started to rebuild their world.
But then the lights go out. At the mercy of territorial gangs and brutal desert weather, they leave and settle in Oregon, but the dangers of Vegas were only the beginning. From lone wanderers, they hear rumors of breeding camps and slave traders. Worst of all are the whispers about the Sevens. People are no longer fighting for survival, they’re fighting for control. Whoever wins out will redefine civilization forever. The group from Las Vegas must join the fray or risk annihilation. The end of the world didn’t kill them, but rebuilding it just might.
The Colony is a post-apocalyptical neo-western that takes place in Grants Pass, Oregon in an alternate timeline where Swine Flu mutates and kills most of the world population. We cover all styles of storylines, but are primarily on the dark end of the spectrum. Please read our FAQ and Rules for more information.
