Synopsis : In the year of 2012, the United States of America has been attacked by an unknown Assailant. From within the very soil, Detroit, New York, Denver, Tampa, Salt Lake City, Los Angela's, Dallas, San Diego, Washington D.C. , San Francisco, and Chicago have been completely wiped off the map. From nukes that were planted within some key point buildings. The effect of this has crippled the nation greatly. Reports from other countries suggest that the Assailants also targeted Korea, China, Japan, South Africa, and Italy.

North Korea's whole armed nuclear Cache's are now missing, over night. The world is cut off from communication, with an A-bomb sized EMP blasting and sending a wave across The world. The bomb was rumored to have gone off in Egypt, Cairo. Cities are rioting, normal citizens are becoming heroes; And when the war is brought to us, the only question is where will you be?



Setting : In Your Back Yard Takes place in a small local town where everyone knows everyone. Its a small little quiet town out in the middle of the woods south of Detroit. Even though its a little off the path, its still a popular site for writers and such. As far as the town itself goes, its quite basic. From electric repair shops that will fix anything you bring to them (or at least try) ; To grocery stores that are always willing to accommodate your grub needs.

Homes are quite normal too, there is one tiny suburb, while the rest of the town lives on the main streets. There is two gas stations, one on the north side and one on the east side, along the roads that feed into the town. An abandoned mine is on the outskirts, north towards Detroit. The town hall is within the very center of the town, with the jail, and sheriffs right next door. Welcome, to a slice of Paradise. Welcome to Finlin, MI.


Key Points in Rp: The roleplay mainly focuses around the town and the events that follow. Characters will be plunged into moral decisions that they are going to have to commit to. There will be those who band together and those who oppose. In a way, the town is a character in its self. The town goes through many transformations and changes to better fit the situation. The story will start off before the attack and will lead to it, then carry on from that point.





Rules specific to Rp

Keep it realistic and pre fallout style.

There are no electronics that work as of yet.

Everything has to be gas powered.

Be realistic with Weaponry.

Players can have more than one character, and can play multiple roles if they think they can handle it.

All of the RPA forum rules Apply too.

The Roleplay is half reliant on intensive dialogue and having to solve problems and issues that would happen In these circumstances.
