In this setting, a hundred winters have past since a global war cast dirt and silt into the atmosphere. Most major US cities were blown to smithereens as did most of China's and Russia megapolises, and the majority of survivors are from rural parrishes and hamlets. (The only difference in this RP is the added ecological dangers. Everything in Fallout applies here except an added layer of terror and unpredictability.. think hardcore mode with another reason to stop and camp.)
Dark clouds engulf the Earth, as it clings to stability from permanent ecological damage. Ash and sut blanket entire states for weeks on end, harming all lifeforms from temperature lose and exposure. Rain also is rare under debris clouds but when it does, heavy metal is sure to follow. The remnants of nasty industrial chemicals, aerosol and dirt, in the densest of them can literally kill in hours. Lung tissue is bombarded and infection runs rampant. Rain is continuously dangerous from the sulphur and debris, and remains in the top 5 killers of human survivors. Also, radioactivity is still prevelant in the densest.
The temperature norm is now almost unbearibly hot. Hellish summers that live well into the winter spawn violent systems until about January where the northern winds freeze most of North America . With a lower pressure millibar, storms live all through the seasons. Raging storms of all kinds make living on the surface a hard place to thrive. Animals are in near-extinction as the varying climates, repetitive storm activity and drought, make adaption almost impossible.
As for man and his struggle to survive is matched with another threat , an unwlecome neighbor to the wasteland, the Mutants. We all know about them and their place is still fallout-esq.

Again everybody, this is a very - freeform thread. Remember, RP's are what you make out of them. In this post apocalyptic thread, things can be fallout/steampunk/whatever the group feels is the best for the setting. Items and/or vehicles are preferred as long as their A)original 2)way creative/unique/foreward thinking. But try not to be overly exertive as a baron or ganglander if thats how you choose to play. Point is, I find that overpowering characters does not help the cuase of portraying a wasteland burdened that is bare boned.
Remember, you can be yourself here. Or a drunkard whose financial ruin from a history of self-destructive behavoir has left him desperate for a quick hustle? haha. how you ever see fit.
