OOC The Last Outpost

OKey so I created a thread that seems a little confusing and vague. The whole point is to let the story evolve as it wishes. I have a crystal spring that gives powers to the people of the outpost. Okey. That spring is three miles from the outpost and those who protect and guard it.

The protection and guarding are from those who wish to steal the water. Water is a precious commodity now as they lakes and rivers are filled with toxic death from the dying bodies of human and creature alike. The rain is toxic, as is the sun to those living under the surface of the Outpost.

Those living above, those still able to fight have adapted through the mutation set forth by the creatures of the deep earth. The creatures of the deep earth came forth to steal the powers of the spring for the use of evil.

The people in the Outpost know that the in their hands the spring will make them more deadly. Thus killing the entire human race. The survivors at the Outpost are sworn to protect the spring and keep it hidden. Hidden deep within a wall of dark marble, and granite, flowing steadily. Those at the Outpost have the ability to cloak minds, change time, whatever they like to do or have to do to protect the spring from the Others.

The people at the Outpost are a band of miscreants that have learned to adapt to their surroundings, yet more and more they have found themselves searching and seeking. The food supplies they have are slowly diminishing and the only food they seem to find are the things they can pilfer from the occasional wanderer. The next step for food, if so needed would be the wanderer themselves.

I hope this serves to clear up any confusion. I wanted to try and leave the story a little vague and let it kinda develop on its own. It still can but these I guess are some of the basic principles.

Thanks for opening the OOC. I think the thread you have created looks like one of the most interesting, in-depth and intriguing threads of the SRP board. I am wondering about the power of the creatures from the deep earth compared to that of the people of the outpost. From the OOC it almost seems like the people are gods, or at least minor gods (if they can change time or do whatever they need as you say). Yet the IC thread seems to indicate that they are not safe from the creatures as attacking and killing them which makes the creatures appear as powerful or more so.

Also what, if anything, is the technology level. Do the people of the outpost not need technology given their powers? What about the people above ground?

Regarding the creatures and the need for food. As the creatures from the deep earth seem so numerous, is it possible to hunt them for food? Are they inedible?

Sorry if this seems like a lot of questions, but when such a complex and fascinating thread opens I can't help how it inspires me to think further. Truly, it's good to see such a deep thread open on SRP.

Hi
Just wanted to drop by and say that yes, I'm definitely still interested in joining you guys in this ...if you still want me of course, Suthern?
Got a manic couple of days ahead that were unforeseen but will work on a bio and first post soon!!
Looking forward to this so so much

Most definately Brit!! take your time. No hurry. I totally understand. Things with me will get crazy the next few weeks also as vacation time rolls around. This should not upset my posting schedule.

Welcome aboard Brit. and Bad Form. I hope we can make this thread memorable.

Hey,
I just ran across your thread and it sounded interesting. I'm wouldn't mind joining if it's still open. I haven't been on in awhile, school and work keeps me busy, but I love the post-apocalyptic feel to it and wish to join

by all means please do. Its kinda stalled at the moment but I would love it to get back rolling. you can post your character bios in the ooc.

OOC Bio:
Dr. Charles "Chuck" Roads
5'9"
150lbs
He thinks he is around 35 but he isn't sure due to the loss of his family at a young age. He was found by members living at the outpost, half dead in the waste that surround the area. After being healed by the previous "doctor", he assumed the role upon his death. He has the ability to combine the waters of the spring with various minerals, some of biological remains of the creature, and the scarce plants that can be found in order to make medicines for the defenders in the outpost. Although no usually found to be on the offence, the Doc is skilled with small bladed weapons to defend himself as well as his patients.

This is what I have in mind for a character, any comments, ideas, and constructive criticisims are welcome

thats cool. Thats good. I dont like to over develop a thread. I like it to develop as it goes along and others dont seem to like that method. I personally feel it shows their ignorance.


Anyways. Its good. you can do an initial post. Im hoping the few others will join in soon. And we shall be on our way
