Introduction
The war began not long after the peace talks. The war, which was never supposed to happen, raged. The war ended.
And so did everything else.
From the war, the remainders of civilization struggled to pull themselves back together. The world was scorched, burnt, and little remained but dust and ash. Where forests stood, deserts spread. Where cities once gleamed, radiation and death lay. Poisoned and filthy, the air became painful, the water sickening.
Yet we somehow survived.
Those who survived gathered together, rebuilding what they could of nearby cities and homes; the center of all of this was the City of Dusk. Food and wealth is controlled by a strict militaristic government. A police battalion has been formed to serve the rich and punish the poor. A rebel force gathered in response, hoping to one day give the power to the people. Chaos is rampant. Crime is everywhere. But life goes on.
Be creative. Be whoever you want to be. Run a soup kitchen, be a rebel, be police, be a dictator - this world is one meant for creation. These characters can't be over-powerful, but they should be strong (they did survive a nuclear war, after all). I would caution having anyone terribly young, since this is a criminal world, but they can definitely be secondary characters or NPCs. If you're going to use pictures in your character descriptions, please use photography, not anime or artwork. I'd prefer to have under 10 characters, but if your character is exceptional I'll likely allow it.

Plots
You are welcome to create your own plot ideas, but try not to exclude anyone if they show interest in joining in. These plot lines should be discussed in the OOC topic so others can give input. The government vs rebels plot line is a possible direction, but don't feel that you have to partake - again, do as you wish!
Writing Styles
I expect a level of cohesion and skill in the writing, but I'm not going to smite you over grammar or spelling (I'm terrible at both at times). I do want to see at least 4 hefty sentences per post, however, that help to add to your character or the plot. You're welcome to curse and be explicit - I really don't care - as long as we aren't breaking the rules of the site; this is a post-war situation, after all, and you can't expect the world to be full of rainbows and flowers.
