Pre-Message: I have surfed many forums and forum RPGs. I don't like the way most are set up. Stats get annoying, turn-by-turn battles are cliched and those RPGs always fall apart. So I had the idea for a different kind of RPG. No stats, no interface bars. Just you, making your way, deciding your fate, and making your own choices.
Story
The year? 2021. The world economy is now in ruins. Crime rates are 7x higher than they were 12 years ago. The opposite of inflation happened; money is so scarce that it is quite valuable. The population of the world has decreased incredibly. Wars and global disputes have run resources low. America has basically ceased to exist; riots and corruption uprooted the government, and without direction, the people turned the world into pure chaos. It seems that everyone is corrupt, or dead, and few are to be trusted. Now, it is every man for himself. This? Well, that is easily answered. This... is the End.
You are just a person living in terrible times. Corruption and war have basically destroyed the world, and now barely anybody can be trusted. You must make choices that impact whether you will survive, and sacrifices for what you believe should be done. Perhaps even fix the problem of what caused this massacre to happen.
You
You are you (you = your ideal character for what you want to do in this game). There aren't stats, all you need is a character sheet. This is to be as simple as possible.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Your character only gets 3 traits, so choose them wisely! Remember, they effect your (almost) every action. As the game progresses people may gain more traits.
Starting
You start out with $25. That isn't a lot of money. There are plenty of ways to earn money out there. You also need basic life needs: food and shelter. Can't live on nothing, can you? It should make more sense when we start.
Shop
Here is what is located in the shop, what the item does, and the price:
Dull Knife- $5- can cut weak things.
Sharp Knife- $15- can cut durable things.
Crowbar- $15- can pry apart objects.
Hatchet- $15- can chop brittle materials.
Brass Knuckles- $15- can inflict much pain.
Gasoline- $3/gal- Some gasoline (comes in a red gas can). Flamable
Rags- $3- enough cloth for 3 moltov's.
Lock Pick- $5- A single lock pick, can be used until it breaks.
Lock Picking Set- $25- An advanced lock pick mechanism, that doesn't break and is more successful at picking locks than a basic lock pick.
Water- $1/bottle- the best medicine, also refreshing.
Cheap Beer- $1/bottle- hardly refreshing.
Vodka- $4/bottle- a heavier alcohol. Flamable.
Fingerless Gloves- $10- Improves your ability to steal.
Tennis Shoes- $15- Improves your ability to run.
Arm Band- $5- Makes you more intimidating, but can get you into trouble.
Hoodie- $20- Makes you conceal your identity easier.
Bicycle- $20- Improves your speed.
Store note: more tools will be introduced into the game later, along with guns and more vehicles.
Now we can get started. No more than 5 people please, if we don't get a lot than I will join the game myself. If you don't understand something, just ask.

Ok NO MORE PEOPLE PLZ. I MAY let more join later.
Kyros
You head across the room and pocket the ammo clip. You look around and the desk and find an old cigar box underneath the table. You open it up and inside is a cigar and $7, what an odd yet lucky find. You turn around, the door you came in is in front of you and the second door is to your left. Now what?
Devos
You pull yourself up and exit the building via the missing wall. Looking both ways, there are no cops or people around. You head into an alleyway to get out of the open. Down the alleyway is a bum huddling under a piece of cardboard with a fire burning in a short metal burn barrel. He is wearing a dirty stained shirt, has a long tramp beard and old dirtied jeans, but no shoes. What will you do now?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll post the new character's stuff in a minute.
Ok so Thomas:
You want to play right, well im going to change some stuff on your profile. Changed stuff is in Italics:

Zelyax
You open your eyes. You must have dozed off next in your corner. You are in a room of a building that has only two walls left, the other two were destroyed probably months ago. Next to you is an empty table. To your left, on the far wall, is a ladder, leading to the roof of the two story building. You notice the entire floor of the second floor is gone; only the roof and the first floor remain. Outside of the building, a road is along the building, but no cars drive by. Every now and then somebody might pass by on foot, but it is unnaturally deserted. What will you do?
Sense
You feel your pocket, making sure your trusty knife is present. You are on the roof of a four story building, and there are a few angry thugs heading up a staircase that leads up to the roof. A small room contains the stairs, and a battered, aged door is all that stands between the roof and the stairway. The thugs are getting closer, you can hear it. At one end of the building is a ladder, at the other end, is just the edge of the building. What will you do now?
Thomas
You are walking down a street. You don't have much of an idea of where you are or where you're going. You stop and look around. To your left, there is a red brick building with a wall that has been reduced to rubble. On your left is a small shop with a broken "Closed" sign on it. The walls are plated with scraps of metal. The metal has been quite useful, protecting the building from fires and keeping it in relatively good shape. Further down the road is what seems to be a hospital. What will you do now?
Bob (please post your name when you do stuff, I don't memorize everybody's names!)
You head over to the map, you are in the basement of a three story building. The ground floor is the security room and the lobby, the second floor contains the computer lab and a small storage room, and the third floor contains a testing center and a staircase to the roof. Satisfied, you walk over to the computer and turn it on. It instantly turns on and goes to a login screen. You easily log in as the management. The desktop contains 3 icons. One is a ".i" file, so you open it. Besides from finding out the rules and whatnot, it doesn't give you much information. However, you notice that the file was made in 2013, so this is a very old building, now out of use. Behind you is the staircase out of the basement. What will you do now?

I try to steal from them.
Sense
... The thugs are after you, trying to kill you! Lol... are you sure? You aren't a hardened criminal or extra strong, so it isn't worth trying to fight multiple enemies... which are likely better armed than you. So are you sure you want to try and steal from them? It is risky.

That was kinda dumb...
Go down a level, and search around.
Bob: I walk out of the building, crowbar at the ready to whack anything that tries to kill me...but first I greet it, see if it's friendly or not.
Zelyax
You walk out onto the street, but nobody passes. It seems... deserted. You stub your toe on a crack in the sidewalk. Looking down, you see a lockpick wedged in the crack. You carefully remove the pick from the crevice, and now have a lockpick! You are now facing the road. Across the street is a brick building, side by side with several other buildings (like a building compound). A big red metal door is on the building, and it looks like someone broke into it with a hammer or crowbar. Behind you is the building you just came out of, and to your left, down the road, is a fountain. To your right is about 20 feet of road, then it ends at a makeshift brick wall, that was recently put up. What will you do?
Kyros
You leave the building and go back to the street. Across the street is a alleyway that goes for about 10 feet then makes a sharp left turn. To your right is a long road, with brick commercial buildings along the sides of it. However, the road is still deserted. You hear a noise, and turn around. An average sized Mexican with dark shades and a cigar comes out of the door you just left. The Mexican spits on the ground in your direction. "You gonna die homes." He pulls out a switchblade. You'd better think fast...
Devos[b]
You walk up to the bum and elbow him in the face, knocking him outcold. You then remove his coat, stained shirt, pants, and a woolly hat. You also found [b]$4 on the guy and a bottle of vodka. After you replace your clothes, you end his life, and throw the suit on him, then dump the fire over on him. With your new outfit, you return to the police station. The cop you saw earlier is being looked over by an armed policeman and a medic. What do you do now?

I search for ore stuff in the general vicinity.
Kyros
The Mexican snorts at your blade. "Homes you in way above yo head." The Mexican pops his switch blade open and lunges at you. Luckily you could predict his move (military procedures) and knew exactly how to counter his move, and you got a good stab into his stomach. "Aaggh..." He fell to the ground and bled badly.
Zelyax
You look around the ground for more stuff. After about 20 minutes, you found a $5 bill under a rock on the sidewalk. Then, a man walks out from around a corner with a large jagged rock. He looks at you with evil eyes. He then says, "Give me all your belongings or die..." What will you do now?
