After the Helium Wars in 2012, the whole world was left in a state of chaos and destruction. In California, Battery City appeared where L.A once stood – ruled over by BL/ind, a corporation with one goal in mind: perfection. They offered protection from the radiation, hunger and emotions, all in one simple pill. But with BL/ind's takeover came the Killjoys, rebels who ran away from Battery City and set up home in the wasteland zones, where they're trying to fight back against BL/ind's monochrome vision of the future and are constantly being hunted down by BL/ind's Exterminators and Draculoids.
Welcome to 2019, . We hope you have a pleasant stay.
This is your resource for all the info you're gonna need out here in the zones, Killjoys. Keep your gun tight and your mind tighter - make sure to read these posts.
Think of this board as a bulletin board, of sorts. Whenever a staff member has an announcement or site-wide thread, it will be put in here. This includes activity check and OTM voting.
Even the most veteran zonerats get a bit sundazed sometimes. Confused, lost or just have a question or two? Post in here. Don't worry, we've got this. Guest friendly.
So, want to find a roleplaying partner, a sworn enemy, a best friend, a lover or just to stir up some trouble in the world of 109? Then this is the place for you.
Want to contact someone? Or write about your experiences? Look back on fond memories? This is the existence board, where things are always happening and everyone is always talking about it. Careful, these frequencies aren’t safe by far; in fact, they’re no more secure than smoke signals or shouting from the rooftops – but they’re a hell of a lot quicker.
Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed. These, motorbabies, are the archives of all which has gone before.
Come here if you want to post an advert for your site. This is the only place you are allowed to advertise on this site (including the chatbox) so please keep that in mind. Guest friendly.
Want to show off some of your pretty designs, or request some pretty designs from other members? Then stop by here. You can also look for advice, feedback and help, if you need it.
If you wish to show off something youÂ’re proud of that youÂ’ve created, which isnÂ’t a graphic, you can do so here. Constructive criticism only; no flaming is allowed.
Nicknamed the Getaway Mile, Route Guano is the main road in and out of Battery City and through the zones. But stay safe, this place is a hotpot of different factions, groups, personalities; allies and enemies combined. One thing is certain, though – travel on this road will never be boring.
Average temperature is 105 degrees Fahrenheit, getting hotter as you go further along.
Zone one: the first step outside Battery City, where spillover citizens sometimes end up living. It's rough, wild and nothing like the city, but there's still populated areas. Draculoids patrol this zone heavily, making sure to keep the loyal BLI/nd customers 'safe from terrorists' – those Killjoys foolish enough wander in here better be on their toes, or they may end up in a clap with an Exterminator.
Still little more than a stone's throw from Battery City, this zone is hotter, wilder but, some ways, less dangerous. There's not so many Draculoid patrols but don't let your guard down – there’s still danger lurking around most corners. Keep your gun at the ready; you don't want to be caught out.
Congratulations on surviving this far! You're one of the lucky ones. This is the middle of the zones, between the predominantly Killjoy Zone Six and BL/ind. There's still plently of trouble about, but there's more help around too.
This is where it really starts to get wild, Killjoys. There's more shrubs around here than people, so it ain't actually the perfect party spot. But luckily for you, only the really mean and hardy Exterminators traverse here – or is that unluckily?
All those nice pretty paved roads you may have been following are turning to dust now, and a lot of people lose their way 'round here if they're not careful. It's getting harder to see ahead in the dust. It's unlikely that there's still Draculoids lurking but like always, stay alert.
Average temperature is 118 degrees Fahrenheit; slight acid rain is common.
The very last stop before no man's land, Zone Six is wilder and dustier than all the zones before it. There's a lot of Killjoy hotspots here, but watch your step – you may stumble over a Killjoy's storage trench or, even worse, their skeleton. Dracs and Exterminators normally only venture out this far on missions – there's no patrols anymore.
Average temperature is 118 degrees Fahrenheit; severe acid rain is common.
Welcome, my friend, to no man’s land. Even the hardiest Killjoys shy away from venturing out this far – whilst on Zone Six’s border there’s at least The Stacks, further out nobody has no clue what lurks. The radiation here is enough to have killed off all the small animals and there’s not a living plant in site. Good luck surviving out here, motorbabies. I’ll be praying for you.
Average temperature is 120 degrees Fahrenheit; severe acid rain is extremely common.
Because everybody has a past. Want to roleplay or write about something which has happened before 2019, whether it was years ago – like your character’s childhood – or only a few months – like their first forays into the zones? Well, this is where you go.
