A large star's core imploded roughly one hundred light years from Earth. At first, it was just a star brighter than the rest, almost matching the moonlight on a clear, beautiful night. It shone like that for weeks. Then cancer and mutation rates skyrocketed as the radiation from the supernova slowly wore down the Earth's atmosphere. Decades worth of radiation killed hundreds of millions of species, as just going outside in the daytime could be life-threatening. (This is unimportant, but the radiation also killed most, if not all of the plankton in the ocean, seriously disrupting the ocean ecosystem and leading to mass extinction.)

Worse still, as the atmosphere dissipates, large electric avalanches (aka lightning) begin to torment the Earth's surface. These storms were the worst storms that the surface of the earth has seen in millions of years. The intense lightning causes global wildfires that consume forests and crops, destroying electrical grids and devastating global supply chains. Nations struggled not to be consumed by chaos. Rocketing prices left people fighting for food. Wars broke out, food shortages quickly came as people resorted to stealing. At this point, modern civilization has been set back, who knows how far.

Once everything had calmed down, the radiation still hadn't stopped, as the atmosphere hadn't repaired itself. The intense radiation caused the creatures left alive, and on the surface, to become severely disfigured, causing the skin to turn a sickly green and hair to fall off in large quantities. Not only that, but the radiation affected the brain as well. Skulls could not keep all the radiation out, and the massive amounts of it killed many of the neurons, leaving the affected beings constantly aggressive with no impulse control.

I am done.

Looks great! Now we wait for Georgia, and then we can start. So...probably tomorrow.

Off-topic question, did you want to do the medieval one, or was that just something you were thinking about?

Alright.

Well yes and no. I was thinking that the oc(yours or mine) would have to seek help with the other race to help their sick mother since the other race knows how to cure the illness.

Oh I like that. Would a war commence/be going on between the races or no?

No but everyone knows that a war is on its way. Both races are waiting for the other race to make a move first so they can declare war.

Ok ok so everybody's tense, got it. Would you like me to start the thread, or...?

Yeah you can start the thread.
