User blog:GattsuSeijin/An Idea For a Post-Apocalyptic RP

Lately, I've been thinking up ideas for possible, non-canon RP's. A long time ago, I recall someone suggesting an RP that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world (an idea that apparently didn't get very far). I figured it would be an interesting idea if we expanded upon it, so I have my own set of ideas of how such an RP would work.


 * The RP would take place in a separate timeline from the main universe, obviously.
 * No tokusatsu, no specifically named kaiju, no big organizations, no canon characters, only previously established OC's.
 * The OC's in question will be much weaker than their main timeline counterparts, so no "super modes" or "city destroying" attacks. This, combined with the more bleak and oppressive apocalyptic setting, should make the characters act differently, in my opinion.  The whole point of this RP is to see how much different characters would be in this type of setting.
 * This one will be VERY contentious among the people reading this, but I think the timeline this takes place in should be more like the real world (in my opinion). Powers that characters have should have a proper explanation, or this could be like Fist of the North Star where the characters learned these abilities from martial arts masters and the like.  I also think that the characters should have no prior knowledge of each other, just to make things interesting.
 * If your OC is an alien character or something, I don't think using them would be a terrible idea as long as the user gives an explanation as to why they're there.

As for a main overarching story in this, I recall Tengen or someone saying that kaiju should be responsible for the apocalypse, and for that I agree. I know I said "no kaiju" earlier, but I think giving these much weaker characters something big to fight would be kinda interesting; especially if they used the environment to their advantage. However, the kaiju responsible for destroying the world/the ones that appear should be voted on, as it would just be stupid if a kaiju showed up every five seconds like they do in the main timeline.

In short, I think this RP event should be something like Fist of the North Star (with more balanced characters, obviously).

If any of you guys have any suggestions or ideas, please add them in the comments. I want to see something like this grow.
