April AU: World Setting Reference Directory

[somarium_lords]

Okay guys, as mentioned in the AU Event Details post, we're trying to keep things organized and help everyone out by compiling a directory of what worlds various casts will be creating. This is that directory and we'll have this stickied in the ultimate reference post when the event starts.

For this post, have a member comment to this entry with the information. In the subject line, include the name of your cast's canon. Those who are interested in participating can ask questions about it here. These do not have to be really detailed or anything like that. A paragraph or two will be more than enough (even as long as this entry post). If there's not much change to the world, or if you'd like to provide some sort of base information, you can use links to wikis, images, or even videos to help describe the setting. Include some possible things that visitors may experience or find while in it. You will then be able to link back to your comment when creating the actual log in somarium.

Any questions should go to the original Event post.

To sum things up, the event known as the Worst, Most Despair-inducing incident in the History of Mankind took place and the world went to shit before the invasion even happened. What started out as students at Hope's Peak getting killed began to escalate and it soon became a world-wide catastrophe. Most of the population have no goal, no purpose and all they do is committing pointless acts of violence. Some people, however, have formed pockets of resistance and they work together hoping to restore the world and put an end to its current state. Although things have managed to calm down just a bit, people are still prone to donning Monobear masks, rioting in the streets and forming mobs if they've been agitated. Most buildings are in various states of disrepair, and famous landmarks have been Monobearified.

In some ways, the nightmare invasion actually made things better; some of the rioters ceased with the senseless violence against each other because this new threat gave them a common goal. In other ways, it made things worse. Those who didn't have a reason to fight them off got more violent. Decent food is scarce enough as it is, and the monsters only make it more difficult to find.

We're limiting the setting to New York, but visitors may find and exprience the following:
- Statue of Monoliberty. Other landmarks have been defaced as well, so go wild.
- People who carry baseball bats and wear Monobear masks.
- Despair. Think people dying in the streets or setting each other on fire and other sad things.
- You may have to go dumpster diving if you want something to eat.
