Ideas aren't your weak point, Chaos.
Even if you tend to need someone else to fill out details, they aren't bad ideas.
Roleplaying a roleplaying game?
Would. Would we be playing the player and the character?
The second sounds uncomfortably close to Hunter by WhiteWolf games, but that's not really such a bad thing.
There are a couple interesting things that I could do for a character in that, given a more detailed premise/setting...
They always feel that way though... D:
Still, nice to hear that some peeps like them.
biggrin One idea I had was a virus taking over the planet. It was a unique virus in that it could switch to the other archetypes of infection - bacteria, fungi, etc. - in order to spread and survive.
One possibility of infection was becoming a Dead Man Walking - effectively a zombie, but weaker and slower than any other human due to cellular damage caused in order to take over the body and the virus basically stripmining the body for energy and biomass whilst still keeping it mobile and able to spread aggresively.
The other is becoming an Infected Symbiote - the virus is capable of providing certain benefits to the user by mutating the biology of it so long as it doesn't kill off the infected, and in return the being only siphons off the infected's energy.
Humanity ended up retreating into areas like Greenland, Norway and Russia in order to survive since the virus couldn't propagate or infect as easily in these countries thanks to the colder climate there, although the US and UK are trying to regain a foothold by using black ops teams made of the Symbiotes whilst islands like Australia and Japan have already cut off contact with most of the world - in spite of the obvious resource issue (food, water, buildings, technology, etc).
Symbiotes, on the other hand, are capable of living amongst the Dead Men since they're already infected (so the Dead Men don't want to infect them). They're able to effectively eradicate areas infected since the virus thinks it's one of them but can't tell if it's killing off itself and society is still effectively the same for them - supermarkets, clubs, community hubs and so on still exist for them. Military forces even pay them to run some of the ammo production facilities and shipping for them.
Think the Last of Us and kinda PROTOTYPE but the entire world is suffering instead of one city or country.
