Life in the Tribe
Where the virus came from no-one knew. From deepest space, bacterial warfare or some nation's scientific experiments gone horrifically wrong? Only an intensive inquiry could answer that. But there is no-one left to hold such an inquiry. Well, no adults anyway. And the few children left behind are too busy surviving to worry about what had plummeted them from a hi-tech world of sophistication - into a primitive hell of anarchy, confusion, danger and fear.
With no adults to guide, rule or protect them, the children of the world are on their own. Their task: to build a New World in their own image...whatever that image might be. Tribal gangs control their patch, protecting individual groups in the area in return for their loyalty, which is demanded and must be absolute - at any and all costs. Initially, while stocks last, the gangs provide looted, processed food. In the future, unless they can teach themselves the technology to rebuild the world they knew, they will have to become hunter/gatherers like their ancestors.
Individual groups react in primitive, often bizarre and at times manic, uncontrolled ways. but some Tribes, like The Mallrats, realize that with disaster comes a new opportunity. A new responsibility. The future is their's to create. For so long the children had existed in a world governed by adults. The framework of influence had always been parents, teachers, and politicians. Can their reach extend beyond their grasp? Will they 'screw up' as they remember the adults doing, or can they evolve new values, priorities, a new consciousness, a hierarchy and society which will eventually create a new sustainable world?

We are an AU season 5 Tribe Roleplay. If you have not seen the show they have a youtube channel or you may be able to find a bit torrent somewhere of the seasons. There are only 5 of them. We have been open since 2005 but only really active for the last 2 years or so. We are pretty far along plot wise but we always love new members and new characters.
