This is Rust.

Let's get this straight. This is no sissy forum for magic and furries. This is the end of the world. Actually, it's a bit later. It's post-apocalyptic. And how did our little ball of dirt come to be this way? About 70 years ago, the world was facing several problems.
-The United States NASA lovers got a little overboard boycotting the Russians’ inflated prices on tickets to space. Stuff got blown up.
-The largest companies were competing with the nations over fresh water sources. Stuff got ugly then too.
-All those countries that were fighting their dictators in the 2000’s and 2010’s, you can forget about them.
-A pandemic 50 years ago took out over 30% of the world’s population, draining the major cities and most populated countries.
-North Korea finally came out of it’s shell. With bombs.
-China foreclosed on America. Or tried to. Neither side won.

Now, my guess is that there’s maybe one million people left. Maybe three. But seeing as they’re spread out all over the Earth, you can go many days or weeks with out seeing a scrap of life. There’s some radiation but it’s not all that bad. The nukes hit DC mostly so down here near the border is pretty clean. I keep a Geiger with me anyway.

There was a lot of looting and chaos at the beginning. Thugs and gangsters, you know. The area we’re in is hilly. Somewhere around here is a trickle of a river that might have been the Frio once. Texas never quite recovered from the drought of 2011. Most of the rednecks are gone, lost in battle when they tried to secede again. But there are still some tucked away here and there, probably. These parts have lots of axis, they’re invasive and they bred in with the native white tail. There’s jack rabbit, lots of armadillo (ruggled little creatures). If you don’t know much else about the wildlife around here, you’re probably dead.

Also: if you were in this life, walking (probably alone) and see a complete stranger, you probably don’t give them your name/age/gender/bio/personality/zodiac sign first thing. You do that here, you’re dead; and yeah, a lot of things get you dead. People only know what you tell them so right now, all you know about me is in the attachment.
(I know it's sketch but it's midnight and I'm tired. I'll fix it when I have time)

Why Rust? Because it's steampunk and you're about to get cut, punk! Haha, just kidding. Oh, well, no. You might actually...

And because the school year is starting, I don't expect this to move very fast. So if you join, please be considerate.
