Welcome to the apocalypse.
Set in an alternate version of present-day Earth, you find yourself in the middle of the beginning of the apocalypse. It’s been 2 weeks since the initial crash between Sykorax and the exoplanet called JI 52537, and approximately 80% of the world population has been decimated in the span of a few hours. Hoping to escape what seems like certain destruction, you, and your party managed to find the abandoned emergency bunker of the local rice, eccentric politician. Stuck here for the next part of... forever, you hunker down together to try and survive off the bottled water, canned brown meat, and corn stocked in the pantry.
The florescent lights flicker overhead, as you all sit in the main 'lounge' area. There is a small map of the bunker to your right on the wall, and a few doors and hallways leading to other parts of the dugout. In the center of the large room, is a dining table with 6 seats around it. Around the edge of the room, are two desks and a computer each, despite the internet having shut down at the time of the impact. However, it does have a few games stored on it that can be played without internet connection. There is ample electricity, water, and food around you; you find that there is no need to go out and look for these things.
It is impossible to leave the bunker now; there's still the occasional shockwave, and dust, dirt, and debris have been kicked up in the air. Death is almost certain if you leave, for at least the next few weeks.
(ooc: Welcome to the start of the campaign!! Feel free to describe and introduce your character in-depth here, or interact with the room/rooms around you, whatever you feel like your character would do in this moment.)

Emelina looks around the bunker. So this is my life now. Well at least there is plenty of food. She sits down on one of the 6 chairs at the dinning table. She places her crystal ball on the table and peers deeply into it. After a moment she sighs and shakes her head. I can't believe all those lives snuffed out in mere moments. These are sad times.Emelina pulls here shawl wrap tightly around herself as if bracing for a storm. She blinks and finally acknowledges the other people here. She barely noticed them as she was deep in thought. "Greetings, my name is Emelina Humblesky"
Gwin has been sitting at the long table for a few minutes now, staring at the middle of the table with her thoughts racing. She gets brought back to the harsh reality by Emelina´s voice. "Hi. My name´s Gwin." She replies looking at the woman across her when the crystal ball catches her eyes. "You a psychic or somethin?" She asks and you can sense that she´s sceptic but curious nonetheless.
valkas was sitting on the table, getting a steak and giving it to thomas, my bloodhound. he eats the meat on one bite and licks my hand. i smile and start to pet him. i looked around hearing the other's voices, realizing we are doing introductions "oh! hi, my name is valkas Wildcloak, and this is thomas, my hound." the hound jumps into the halfling's lap, the size difference making only the halfling's hands be visible to the others "hey! easy boy!"
Gwin nods towards the halfling, watching him dissapear under the hound. "Right..." She says to Emelina, still a little sceptical but now more hopeful."So.. if I asked you to look for someone would you be able to tell me if they´re still alive?"
She stands up at this point and you can see that the dwarven woman is wearing a bit dirty blue overalls with a simple gray shirt underneath.
My Blue has loosened his tie and top button, but he always did that. And despite a couple weeks of living in a hole, he looks pretty good, excepting the despondency. He looks up from staring at the floor.
"Oh. You can call me Mr Blue. I'm... I was a chemistry teacher. It's nice to... Well. Maybe not."
Mr Blue gets up and approaches Valkas. "Is Thomas friendly? Can I pet him?"
"I actualy have a photo of them, if that helps." As she says that she takes out a folded piece of paper from one of the many pockets on her overalls and hands it to you. In the photo you can see an older dwarven man with brown hair and a full beard crouching down and posing with a small boy with big green eyes and light brown hair that looks almost golden in the sun. "If you can´t do both then aks them just about the little boy, Tyrik."
Emelina shakes her head "I need certain divination tools. Gem-inlaid sticks, dragon bones, or ornate cards. Once I get the right divination tool I can ask the spirits"
valkras looks at mr blue "of course, don't be intimidated, he is a big teddy bear" he smiles, managing to put his head in a visible heigh. he turns his attention to Emelina "can you also know something about a . . .strange object?"
valkras searches trough his backpack, finding a strange copper medallion, with the inside containing the image of a pale blonde woman with horns, wearing a white dress with blood flowers and a golden necklace, and crystal-white wings chained together "here, can you feel anything from it?"
Ainsley gently leans her surfboard against the bunker wall. Even though she's pretty confident that she won't be surfing any time soon, it didn't feel right to leave the board behind either. She's happy she was able to take it with her to this temporary refuge.
She looks around at her companions. She vaguely recalls seeing the human man at her high school; she thinks he taught another chemistry class.
'Hey everyone', she says a bit shyly. 'My name is Ainsley Keenan.'
When she hears Valkras say that Thomas is friendly, she walks towards them and stretches a hand out for Thomas to sniff.
While the five of you are making small talk, the fluorescent light fixtures overhead flash a startling warning orange color. This message then blares over the speakers you now notice are hanging overhead:
"An earthquake or shockwave is imminent. Seek shelter under the nearest table or against the wall; stay low to the ground. An earthquake or shockwave is imminent. Seek shelter under the nearest table or against the wall; stay low to the ground."
About 10 seconds pass, and surely enough you feel a small jolt in the ground below you. It's small at first, and only lasts a second or two. Then about a minute later, the ground feels like it's rolling around you, almost as if you're at sea in the middle of a storm. This wave lasts about ten seconds. For the next two or three minutes, you feel the last of the surface waves make it through the bunker and away from where it is. The orange lights flicker back to their warm white.

As Ainsley is petting Thomas, the speakers go off and the floor begins to roll. Ainsley loses her balance, and falls against Thomas as the wave continues.
'Whoa!' she says. 'That's one of the worst waves I've felt so far. Things must still be pretty bad out there. I guess this bunker is going to be our home for the next while.'
When things settle down a bit more, and it seems safe to walk, Ainsley stands up and heads over towards the map she noticed on the bunker wall, and examines it.
valkas almostfalls from the chair from the shockwave, when ainsley fell into thomas he got up scared, with valkas grabbing the table trying not to fall on the ground. when it was over, he looked around in alarm "seriously, what is happening out here? i mean, shoudn't the worst have aready passed?"

I could work an NPC, if you need.
I enjoy writing, roleplaying, watching TVs and movies, and playing video games!
Currently playing the resident time lord in Las Aminour.
Want to check out my stuff? Here’s my campaign:

Gwin has been sitting at the long table for a few minutes now, staring at the middle of the table with her thoughts racing. She gets brought back to the harsh reality by Emelina´s voice. "Hi. My name´s Gwin." She replies looking at the woman across her when the crystal ball catches her eyes. "You a psychic or somethin?"

Emelina nods "Yes I am a true psychic. I know it may be hard to believe, but its true"
Gwin nods towards the halfling, watching him dissapear under the hound. "Right..." She says to Emelina, still a little sceptical but now more hopeful. "So.. if I asked you to look for someone would you be able to tell me if they´re still alive?"
She stands up at this point and you can see that the dwarven woman is wearing a bit dirty blue overalls with a simple gray shirt underneath.
Emelina puts a hand on her crystal orb. "I cannot at this time. Perhaps in the future. I need certain items to ask the spirits for an answer."
(OOC I need to wait until I can get my hands on the spell component (specially marked sticks, bones, or similar tokens worth at least 25 gp)
My Blue has loosened his tie and top button, but he always did that. And despite a couple weeks of living in a hole, he looks pretty good, excepting the despondency. He looks up from staring at the floor.

valkras searches trough his backpack, finding a strange copper medallion, with the inside containing the image of a pale blonde woman with horns, wearing a white dress with blood flowers and a golden necklace, and crystal-white wings chained together "here, can you feel anything from it?"
Emelina gently takes the medallion. She closes her eyes and whispers something under her breath. She cast detect magic as a ritual.
Ainsley gently leans her surfboard against the bunker wall. Even though she's pretty confident that she won't be surfing any time soon, it didn't feel right to leave the board behind either. She's happy she was able to take it with her to this temporary refuge.
