The end of the world came not with ice; it came not gently, it came not quietly. The end of the world came with flames burning to the intensity of the sun. The end of the world had been the product of man's greed, of their hubris and their insatiable thirst for war. A hundred arrogant men, a single war, and a dozen atomic bombs set off simutaneously world-wide – it was the perfect ingredients for a disaster, and so came the end. Little more than thirty years have passed since The War. Out of the ashes of destruction rose the World Government, heralding as the new protectors of a ruined earth. Cities were rebuilt, people brought together. It would be a new time of peace, they declared. No longer would humanity have to fear wars and suffering, no longer would they be subjected to such torments ever again. As with all things, however, it was a promise too good to be kept. It was a promise they would be forced to break. But humanity never changed. It is the most basic of instincts to defend oneself, and so in the ravaged lands the newly-formed Government didn't pay attention to, it was exactly that: kill or be killed. The Wastelands quickly became a kingdom of carnage, ruled over by deranged survivors of The War who had or wanted little to do with the ever-changing world. They became known as Raiders, and they preyed on other survivors foolish enough to wander unprotected into their lands. Coupled with the existence of such Undesirables, the Government faces a new threat: a rebellion. Led by one of their own, The Rebellion has forced the World Government into a corner. Out of desperation has the Government tightened its hold over its citizens, doing all they can to appear more and more appealing to the masses everyday. But as time passes and more people are made aware of the Known World's secret happenings, the question begs itself: ❦ Bitter Season is a post-apocalyptic original roleplay game set in the near-future. We are a community of serious writers, of those who wish to create a unique character and take advantage of the world the moderators have created for you. This game is not for those who are easily disturbed by elements of gore, rape, incest, and torture. However, that said, this game is also not for those who are only looking for those elements in a game. We are plot-and-thread driven, using the communities as a means for our characters to communicate with one another rather than base all interaction solely on "the network." For more information, visit our website. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR • Girls, girls, girls! We have a serious amount of Ps, and we need some Vs! • Government Employees and Supporters. • Villagers! • Maybe a few more Raiders, why not. |
