Outbreak: World under the Ice.

2018.

We have spent years in the cold. Years rubbing ice together, hoping to create heat. Heat, what a fun fact. Some of us don’t even remember what it was like to feel warm, to feel nice and safe. But we all know how this started.

In 2008, we battled the Beings. We did not have a huge fight, but we tried to stop them nonetheless. They came to this planet, hoping to find the Answer. All they found was ashes. In raged, they copied the planet, and then the Master, master over all Beings, sent out a earthquake that shook everything. Even the Earth itself. The orbit of the Earth grew longer, deeper, when it was shook. The planet plunged into a ice age, and we all sought to find Cuba. None of us could teleport, but we traveled nonetheless. Some of us flew, but we still had to walk, as some could not fly. 

The journey took weeks. But we followed Alex the whole way. The trip was though, and many a time, we almost gave up. But prominent Outbreakers helped us. We reached Cuba after a full month, and set up base. There, we made our homes. There, we settled in, to live this strange new life.

When we arrived, we made a government. We didn’t use this word though, as it reminded us to much of the old Government, the one that had hunted us. Instead, we just slapped ‘Council’ on it, and stayed with that. The Council was made up of twelve Outbreakers, which voted on matters. In the case of a tie, one Outbreaker was voted to be given two votes. If this was a tie... I don’t know. We never really thought about that.

Anyways, we lived in peace for five years. We all grew older, and grew stronger. Some of us got married, even. Alex, all the time, was watching over everything. It was a small city we had, seeing we only had seventy Outbreakers left. We were the last hope for survive. But after five years, trouble grew. Our population had grown to about ninety, and there were some small problems. 

You see, we had nothing set up. Schools? Nothing. Health care? Nothing. Then again, we had healers. That counts. But did we have, say, labs? No. Many Outbreakers were starting to worry about what was going happen. Alex assured us this was all going be sorted out. But more and more Outbreakers worried, and soon not even all of Alex’s power could keep people from rebelling.
  
About half of us rebelled. I admit, I rebelled also. It was because I felt we had no protection, that we had nothing that could keep us alive. We all charged our powers, and began warring. The city was then spilt in half, each side on one half. The Alex and the Council stepped in, and the rebellion stopped right there. All it took was one discharge of fire, and a little bit of Rand’s power, and we were all weak. No one was killed, thankfully, but it didn’t matter.

A year later, Alex fulfilled our wish, and gave us what we wanted. We wanted schools? There was a Outbreaker that could grant knowledge by blinking. Building repair? Luke fixed that quick, as his power was over ice, and all our houses were made out of ice.

Then in 2017, something happened. Luke, a leading Council member, went out into the ice. The area around our town had begun making strange noises, and Luke had been sent out to investigate. 

Three days later, he returned, but nothing like we thought he would.

It would seem that Steven hadn’t been killed, like we all thought. We thought that when we unleashed the second Outbreak Blast, he had been killed. His body was destroyed, that was for sure. But his mind didn’t get taken to the ground. His mind, or, if you like, ‘soul’, wandered around. Then he reached our haven. His very will effected the area around him, thus making the ice start churning. Luke went out, and found nothing. But Steven’s mind entered into his, and took over. So, we had walked strait into a trap.

When he returned, he ordered a Council meeting. There, Steven, in Luke’s body, just about killed everyone in the room. Some escaped, but Alex was not as lucky. Steven and him fought, the powers of ice and fire clashing. But they reached a cliff, and Alex knew he had lost right then. Steven pushed him off of it, and sent Alex falling hundreds of feet. Why Alex never heated the air so that he could float, I don’t know. 

But what I do know, is something I don’t want to think of anymore. Steven returned, and very quickly took control of Haven, our city. His old followers returned, and soon Steven’s rule was in stone. The few surviving Council members fled to the ice caves, a chain of caves under the surface of the city. There, they hid, trying to live. They organized a plan, a plan that could save everyone. There were rumors that the old America has de-frosting, so the remaining Council figured that the Outbreakers should move back there, well some others remained to kill Steven.

And thus, this nightmare has begun. We are trekking across the endless snow, trying to find our way back home. Mean while, the others try to stop this reign of terror. I wish them luck. It will take all the luck they have.

So, here begins a new era of Outbreak. Our story. And it will end with a happy ending, I swear.

Hello there, Bzpower. This is the sequel to Outbreak, the old RPG. I highly suggest you take a look around over there, as you need to if you want to know the tricks of this RPG. Fix that, you need to at least read the first post over there, and the last few pages. Hopefully, though, my Archivist will work on making a shrunk version of what happen in the last RPG. It will take a bit of reading, but nothing you should be worried about.

The World:

At the moment, the world is very different. It is a world of ice and snow, with freezing winds. There is no humans alive, except for a few that still live, trying to survive. There is only about a hundred Outbreakers living at the moment, but some are pretty young.(Not much trouble as Outbreakers grow at excelled rates... But anyways.)

The Fractions:

We have a few fractions over here, also.

The New Order:

The group that follows Steven. They act as enforcers. Playable. Ten slots.

The Wanders:
This group is basically all the Outbreakers. They are leaving to find safe haven in America. Playable. Fifty slots.

The Council:

The remaining Outbreakers that stay in Haven to fight Steven. Playable. Ten slots.

The Levels:

In the last RPG, I had this system called ‘Levels’ in which when a person was a good Rper, they got a level up, giving them more power. But that was back when Outbreak was starting out, and the Outbreakers were still young. Now they’ll are in their twenties, and one would asume that in-game, they would of leveled up quite a bit. So, I’ve re-written the way of level ups. There will be no level ups, in fact. Instead, I’ll have ‘godmode points.’ I’ll explain. When you do something really good, (Like being a good Rper.), then you get a point. You can then do something godmody, But not too much. If you have ten points, you get to do something really godmody. 

(A s a side note, the godmode points is a leaf from Teeb Angel’s book. Credit to him for the idea.)

Staff:

Toa Humva Of Alex
[Basically, I’m the Game Master. I have the power to do basically anything in this RPG, with the exceptions of a few things that just don’t go with my morals.]

Shard
[My helper Game Master. He can do everything I can do, but be warned, he does not have the same morals I have, and thus will dish out heavy punishments if you screw up too many times.]

Rockhound
[My Mod in these parts, plus Editor/Archivist/Recapist. He has the power to give out godmode points, and dish out with all punishments but semi and prem ban.]

The Rules:
If there is staff, there is rules. Lets go see what we have, eh?

1-Follow ALL Bzpower rules. I don’t want to see flaming, trolling, or any of that stuff.

2-DO NOT control other players. You can have them do little things like sitting down, or such, but nothing past that. Me and Shard can skip this rule at anytime, though Rock can only skip it if current events allow it.

3-DO NOT complain. If you don’t like a punishment served, take it up with me via PM. But don’t use the topic.

4-Make sure your Role Playing part of posts are not confused with your normal RPG chat part. I don’t care if you use IC or OOC, or color one part green and the other blue. Just make sure I can tell the difference. There were once some ugly times I got confused, and that made a mess.

5-Your ‘RPG chat part’, or OOC part, is not to be used to chat about things other than the RPG. I’ll give examples.

[OOC: Hey, guys, I found a snake outside today.]
BAD.

[OOC: ... Just why did my guy just get thrown off a cliff?]
GOOD.

6-NO godmoding unless you have a godmode point.

7-DO NOT kill other players. If that player wants killed, I do the killing.

8-We have NPC rules. This a tricky slope that can make RPGs die out. The rules of NPCs are:
8a-NPCs only last for ten ICs.
8b-You can only have two NPCs per week.
8c-The NPC can be killed at anytime by any staff member.

9-Please, try to keep this to reality. You can not defy the laws of physics, unless that is you power. Just keep to your power, and play well.
The Punishments:

I run on this system. The system is not a ‘*X number of strikes* you get this punishment’ sort of thing. These punishments are dealt out as the staff members see fit, and then if the member has been really bad, me and Shard, and Rock take vote to see if the guy should be banned. Only I can start a voting session, though, so you have to be reaaaaally bad before I go on to banning.

Punishment #1-Your guy is hurt.

Punishment #2-Your guy is hurt and humiliated.

Punishment #3-Your guy is killed.

Punishment #4-Your guy is humiliated and killed.

Punishment #5-You’re semi banned. This can range from one to three weeks, depending on how me and Shard feel that day.

Punishment #6-You’re banned infinity. So long.
