Where you come in.
Nobody worried about nuclear warfare, assuming their government didn't want to repeat the Great War. You are a citizen in the city of San Francisco, and you are on a ship going on it's first voyage to another country. Miles away from the coast, others on the ship notice plumes of smoke come from land.
As a child, you watch as your home is destroyed. No one knows the fate of other countries. When the boat can't get a signal out to anyone, everyone assumes the Great War repeated itself. Ten years later, the boat is forced to return to American soil. While most people wait back on the giant ship, a small team is sent out to San Francisco.
The city is flooded almost completely, the murky water covered the ground. There's only one thing to remember while outside in the water; stay away from the deep parts. You never know what's swimming around your feet. Be it human, or animal.
You have two choices; leave the team, and survive as you wish, or stay with the team and create a new society. If you leave the city, you'll die within days. If you leave the team, you'll suffer the same fate.
Basic rules apply.
-My word > Yours
-No ubering
-No character killing, with their consent
-No taking from others without permission
-Try not to kill every enemy with ease. See Stream's “General Combat Guide.” It's nice
-Have fun!
1st Thread
The ship came up to the city, and slowly drifted through the flooded streets to a large office building. The team took a metal bridge over to the building, and discovered fish-like mutants not too long after. After the group spit up, fights started through the people; and everyone was wounded except for the team medic. One team member disappeared.
The team fled back to the ship with their wounded, and reached the deck of the ship; only to find it empty. A giant bird flew down and attacked them, but it was soon killed by the ship captain. After fleeing into the ship, the team found everyone hurt from the large birds.
Knowing the strength of the fish mutants, mutant birds, and whatever else could be out there; the team needed more fighters, and much stronger weapons. Rifles and shotguns work the best against fish-mutants, anything spray-and-pray guns kill birds.

Bio: It was the first, and the only voyage to another country at the time. The People's Government wanted to rebuild the massive tanker that spent so many years at San Francisco, rather than create one on it's own. The ship soon carried the last survivors of the World. Wilhelm was quite possibly the only teenager to witness the events; and he was the youngest to know what was going on. Not knowing what kind of emotion to feel; anger, sadness, depression... He just watched silently as those around him panicked on the ship. He had no feeling for what had happened, and he didn't know why.
Over the next ten years, he worked as everything on the ship. He cleaned, he cooked, he was in maintenance, you name it. He practically was in charge of the whole ship. And when the time came, he was the one in charge of the small team seeking salvation. He didn't like the idea; but he had no choice. He was sent with a few men to their old home, which was flooded almost completely. Their job was to kill everything....
