This is my first attempt at an RPG, so please stay with me.

______________________________________________________________

You wake up. Everywhere, debris is falling around you. Fires are raging. Dead bodies are laying everywhere on the ground. You pick yourself off the ground and begin to walk with no apparent destination in mind, with two goals in your head: To find out what happened, and to survive.

____________________________________________________________

Here are the rules to this game:

I. No trolling.
I will report you to the nearest mod ASAP.

II. Be fair to the other players.
This pertains to Rule I.

III. Don't kill other player's characters.
Just don't, and if you do, I will kick you out of this RPG

IV. .Don't take it too seriously if your character gets killed.
Remember, this is only a game. If another player kills off your character, well, that's a different matter. Please tell me, and I will deal with the issue promptly.

Character sheet:
(I borrowed this from @R2D21999 's RPG, Single Minded 2: The Son)

Name: (anything you want)
Age: (13 - 40)
GenderMale or Female)
BioYour character's story)(It will also help me think of stories) (If you have nothing then you will have amnesia)(You can choose to have amnesia, as seeing as you woke up in a disaster scene, but you can also tell your story of what happened leading up to the event.)
Looks: (Your hair color, skin color, etc.)
Powers: (Maximum of 2 powers(Depending on what you choose))

Level: 1

You can choose where you wish to start off, either at your house, or somewhere else. But when you pick your starting point, remember that this is a survival/post-apocalyptic RPG.

If you have any questions please ask and hopefully I didn't forget anything.(I probably did)

He shouts out in pain as you turn him over. The policeman then holsters his gun as he handcuffs the man. Dragging him to his feet he turns to you, "Thanks you for that. What's your name?"

"No problem, officer. Corporal Khan, 174th Infantry Brigade. Get this man medical attention, we'll get the situation under control."

I prep my weapon and move back to my squad.

You heard the footsteps pause for a second and then you hear then continue toward the stairs. The shouting upstairs doesn't stop. "I'm leaving. You can stay and search to your hearts content but I'm leaving." You hear the higher pitched voice shout. A moment passes and then you hear, "Hay who are yo-" *BANG BANG* Two shots followed by the dull thumping of a body as it collapses down the stairs. "Whose there!" The lower pitched voice asked, clearly terrified. Another moment passes before you hear, "I'm from The Company." Then two more shots and another dull thump. Then silence. What do you do?

Name: Sean Deane
Age: Mid-20's
Gender:Male
Bio: Sean seemed like a normal boy, going to school, playing games, making friends. The things a normal boy of 6 would do, but he wasn't normal. Mid-way into his seventh year on this earth he noticed things... happening around him. Small things at first, whatever room he went to heated up notably, whenever he was in the rain he would be either completely drowned wet or utterly dry, whenever he went climbing with his parents he never needed to carry extra oxygen no matter the altitude and it was said that once he managed to move boulders off of a local farmer when he became trapped. There were things he noticed, people seemed to repeat themselves perfectly, people stopping mid sentence and acting like statues, other times things seemed to skip forward or speed up. As he grew older these happenings became more frequent and drastic. At the age of 11 he left home and headed deep into the local mountains so that he wouldn't hurt anyone while he learned to control his powers. Emerging nine years later as a full grown man, fully capable to control his abilities. Returning to his town only to find weeds and wild animals he turned his back to the town and headed toward the city.

Looks: Naturally blood red hair. Golden irises. Sallow tan. 6 foot. Broad. Scar between bicep and tricep on his left arm.
Powers: Control of the elements (Avatar style.) Control time.

You find a pocket watch, some paper, a ballpoint pen, and a Swiss Army knife in the man's pants. The man was also wearing a heavy overcoat. In it you find another revolver, this one fully loaded, and a brick. Which do you take, if not all?

You see your squad moving back towards the truck. "Nothing else to do here," says your officer. "The police have it all under control now. Let's head
back."

After eating you notice your front door is wide open and a cool breeze is coming from outside. Now what?

You feel the cold steel and plastic in your hand, the grooves fit snugly into your hands. It takes a moment to load up on all the extra clips, during this time you hear the door creek as it moves slightly in the breeze. After loading up you head over to the door, looking outside you see nothing out of the ordinary. No cars, no damage to the grass or external fittings nothing. The lock is also undamaged. Far off in the house you hear the crash of china.

(Hey JACK, you forgot to add your stuff to your inventory. It's a S&W 19 revolver, .357 Magnum) In most of the rooms, you only find junk. Most of the people who once lived there had fled and had taken most of their belongings with them. However, in one room on the upper floor, you find a satchel full of food, some weapons, and a transistor radio. All of a sudden, you hear a voice: "Hey buddy, that stuff is mine." (What do you do now?)
