I'm working on a story that might be fun to roleplay online. I wonder if anyone might be interested in joining/roleplaying. Here's some background information for the story's setting; please let me know if you would like to know more.
THE IC THREAD IS HERE: https://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?p=22459756#post22459756
The world’s governments, in an unprecedented show of selfless cooperation, agree to launch all of their nuclear arsenals to destroy an onrushing meteor that is on a collission course for Earth. The effort saves the Earth from certain and complete destruction.
Outraged that world leaders would “dare halt God’s Armageddon,” several religious fanatic terrorist groups unite to acquire virtually all of the world’s remaining nuclear, chemical and biological weapons stockpiles. The united terrorists succeed in detonating nuclear bombs almost simultaneously at key oil drilling locations, irradiating the world’s entire supply of petroleum.
A series of accidents during the final phase at the terrorist’s sole storage facility (located somewhere in the African country of Uganda) detonates the entire stockpile, killing all life within a hundred kilometers. The chemical and biological agents combine to form a mutated retrovirus that affects more than 99.9% of all men and 50% of all women in the world -- mostly those in the poorer, third-world countries of Asia and Africa.
The retrovirus targets testosterone and melanin, and triggers an extreme diuretic effect, expelling the victim’s bodily fluids within 24 hours. The victim dies and becomes a dried, emaciated “husk” at the end of the process. The retrovirus somehow gains control over the victim’s neural system, and allows the corpse some form of semi-sentience and mobility. The “husk” becomes extremely aggressive, attacking any uninfected humans in the area, usually with simple weapons such as make-shift clubs (typically large human bones such as femur bones). Fortunately, due to their radical decrease in body water, husks have greatly reduced strength, speed, coordination and dexterity.

Metal rapidly corrodes into a pile of rust upon contact with any part of a husk’s body. Husks gain some form of nourishment by absorbing the rust piles into their bodies. Husks also seem to repair physical damage to their bodies by entering highly-polluted, radioactive or otherwise extremely toxic areas and absorbing the environmental toxins, radiation and pollutants. As such, great numbers of husks migrate and congregate in polluted, radioactive and otherwise inhabitably-toxic areas. Before long, an area’s level of pollution/toxicity is directly proportionate to its husk population.
Striking husks with sufficient blunt force trauma activates an internal, spontaneous combustion mechanism causing the husk to incinerate almost instantaneously into glowing embers of quickly-dissipating ash that infects other potentially-susceptible victims. Firearms are completely ineffective against husks, who merely absorb the bullets; in fact, the husks gain some form of nourishment from absorbed ammunition.
99.9% of surviving pre-pubescent males and 50% of all prepubescent females succumb every year to the retrovirus upon reaching adolescence. 99.9% of the remaining males are impotent, sterile and usually both.
The after-effects of the husk retrovirus unintentionally invoke the “Armageddon” that the terrorist religious fanatics originally hoped for: economies grind to a halt and entire governments collapse under the ensuing panic-stricken riots. Famine precedes multiple disease epidemics shortly thereafter; again, the poorer, third-world countries of Africa and Asia suffer the most.
Over 4 billion people succumb completely to the retrovirus and become marauding husks within the first year. Entire countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa are literally wiped out within the first year.
A large and growing group of men who are naturally-immune to the retrovirus have banded together, forming a marauding army of "Road Warriors" -- similar to the characters represented in films such as "Mad Max." Unfortunately, they are constantly exposed to radiation from the irradiated gasoline and petroleum products they use in their motor vehicles. The RoadWarriors use fear and intimidation quite successfully in their recruiting efforts. The RoadWarriors torture, rape and murder males who refuse to join them -- mostly for the fun of it.
Your characters are somehow naturally-immune to the retrovirus, and must find a way to survive in a ravaged world, plagued with dangerous "husk" creatures, riots & warfare between surviving humans, the impending collapse of modern civilization as we know it, etc. Most males are affiliated with the marauding "RoadWarriors."
I'll post more information if there is any interest in this setting.
Please feel free to post any questions, comments and concerns as well.
