Euthanasia (idea)

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Raeka on Tue Oct 28, 2008 5:56 am

Euthanasia


.:+:.
Ego vadum exsisto neco
I shall be put to death

.:+:.


It is almost five thousand years from the present time, the year 7004. It is also known as the year that the world finally came to an end.

The Human race has long exhausted all natural resources and the Earth has become a barren wasteland, devoid of all life. In a final attempt to preserve themselves, Humans stocked up on synthetic foods abandoned the planet they once called home. A fleet of 75 spaceships were cast of into space, with no set destination, just programmed to travel onwards for an eternity into the never-ending depths of the universe. Unfortunately these spaceships could not hold the entire population of the earth, and many were left behind on the dying planet.

Out of cruel pity, those who were left on Earth were sentenced to Euthanasia, as it was impossible to survive any longer on the dead world. The day after the space-fleet left, millions of people lined up at hospitals around the world to be put to death. One-by-one, every person’s life was taken away. The bodies weren’t even disposed of, as no one would be around to see them anyway. Finally, the only ones who were left were the doctors who administered the lethal injection, and in turn, they inserted the deadly needle into themselves and joined the rest of the world in a permanent sleep.

The last living creatures to grace the world’s surface were gone. There is nothing left. At least, that was what it appeared to be…

There were a select number of people, who refused to die, who hid when the mass Euthanasia took place. After a while, they begin to come out from their hiding, and try to find a way to survive on the desolate planet. Will they live? Or will they perish like everyone else, only more painfully?

.:+:.
This is not a story about the humans who left the Earth; this is about the ones who were left behind.
.:+:.


Just an idea I had. Please tell me what you think of this, and any questions you may have! Also I NEED suggestions for PLOT DEVELOPMENT!! Unfortunately plot is an area I lack in; I can think of an idea but have no clue as to what could possibly happen next. And I do want an actual plot for this RP, otherwise it could go on forever until everyone died or something.

And don’t blame me if the Latin at the top is wrong, I use an online translator!

So! Any suggestions, comments, opinions, questions, ideas, anything please! Thank you!

good Idea, although there really is a few weak points.
Suggestion: If you fiddled with the idea bit you could make space for this: Dogs and Cats have Evolved become the Lupis and the Felis. And as humans finally return from hiding somewhere... They encounter the lupis and Felis at war... still needs work but it is an idea.
The Spice Melange occurs on only one planet in the entire universe.
The Planet Arrakis, also known as Dune.
He who controls Arrakis, controls the Spice. He who controls the Spice, controls the universe.

I like the idea but, sadly, i'm not good with a plot either.
Like, I can think of an idea, an ending, and a few other events that happen on the way, but I have ALOT of trouble filling in the blank spots.
But other than that, I really like the idea.
um...will there be any form of fighting or "action" going on?

I like it.
Maybe aliens or something have been waiting all along for the humans to leave/die out? They might explore the earth and encounter the survivors.
Sounds a bit far-fetched though, doesn't it?

I had a nice thorough post typed out and then the computer bombed on me, so as I'm sleepy and want to have a little nap before I go back to school, I'll post a short version:

I don't like the cats/dogs evolving = no joining from me; others will probably join.

I do like the alien idea for some odd reason (reminds me of Final Fantasy movie) = joining from me if done well.

Well, that's all for now. If there are any questions, ask.

The Final Fantasy movie was Final Fantasy's only fail. Well, that and Final Fantasy X-2. And I'm not talking about the Advent Children movie

Thanks for the comments!

Dogs and Cats have Evolved become the Lupis and the Felis. And as humans finally return from hiding somewhere... They encounter the lupis and Felis at war...


This is interesting, but unfortunately not to realistic. It takes millions of years for things to evolve noticeably, and this is only five thousand into the future. Thanks for the idea though!

um...will there be any form of fighting or "action" going on?


I was thinking of having some battles in there, whether it be with another group of people who were in hiding or something else. People seem to like battles... so most likely, yes.

Maybe aliens or something have been waiting all along for the humans to leave/die out? They might explore the earth and encounter the survivors.


Actually I thought of exactly the same idea! But I thought people might think it weird and unreal.

But I did have another idea, how about the humans that left the Earth wonder what is happening to the Earth now there is no life on it, and send back some robots to investigate? Not straight away, but maybe in a week or month something. If the people on Earth get found by the bots they will be killed like everyone else, so they could try to hide, and maybe even try to destroy the bots. Think of the War of the Worlds when the aliens are looking for the family hiding in the house.

What do you think of that? I still needs lots more ideas, so say anything! Even if you think it's lame, I'm sure I could somehow use it to create a plot of sorts.

Return of humans isn't a good idea... it just doesn't work , because why would they kill people that can survive a unsurvivable place, there is no reason behind it.

Aliens sound good, but not the waiting for humans to leave part.
new suggestion: The earth can not actually support life so the survivors are desperately trying to get off the planet like all the other humans. ( If you played the game Outpost 2 this is similar ). and the survivors get off and end up on a planet where there are aliens.

interesting idea, trying to get off the planet rather that stay on it... but the only problem I have with the alien idea is that it's hard to keep it realistic... I want to try and make this roleplay something that could actually happen in the future. Like it would be strange for the survivors to have encountered aliens and the humans with the space fleet to have not.

But if we keep working on this idea, I'm sure we could come up with something! It would be cool to have some aliens in there. Everyone loves a good ol' sci-fi.

If there are aliens... should they be hostile or peaceful?

the Survivors could have left while Earth was in a different position in its orbit and so they went in a different direction

well the position of the Aliens could be either hostile or peaceful... hostile is generally more fun to RP. but why do Aliens always have to be the bad guys, if you made it peaceful then the whole idea will be more original.
And you could have it that you start out peaceful or hostile, and then a character does something that changes it around.

I have a whole idea for a planet and alien race/ ecosystem if you want to know.

I'll take any ideas XD I'm terrible with things like creating new races and stuff.

Maybe the aliens could seem peaceful at the beginning, but become curious about the human race and then maybe kidnap some people and try to experiment on them? kinda overused idea, but it adds drama. The kidnapped ones could try and escape, and everyone else could try to rescue them, and there would be lots of alien-killing.

Noooo!!!

sorry... no
see that's what I wanted to avoid... its not original and its pasting the aliens as the bad guys. its stereotyping; exactly what I wanted to avoid.
you can use that idea... but I'll make up a different alien race for that.
Don't let me change your idea, it is yours not mine.

lol that's okay. I'm just suggesting random thoughts at the moment xP

hmmm... maybe... the aliens are really nice, and look after the people that are there, but the humans abuse the trust and steal some spaceships or equipment/technology or some super-important artefact (or do something else that insults them). the aliens get angry, but still want peace, so they ask the humans to leave. but the humans don't really have anyway else to go so they trick the aliens even further and remain hidden on the alien planet... and then the RP can be about trying to survive without being caught, and maybe some aliens could help the humans, because they are sick and tired of the peacefulness, like the leaders of the aliens are all pacifists and always letting people get away with things... i think i'm rambling now

That idea works, I was thinking similar. Although I was thinking, Humans do something like you suggested and the aliens (who aren't pacifists) go to war with the humans. and the humans have to survive.
I think that's enough ideas from me.

haha, this could go on forever. I think I might go back to the drawing board and try to rearrange all this into a RP... and then probably post it in interest checks again to see how it goes. Thanks for all the ideas! :D
