What Did You Do To Snoke?
Previously Ratbag the Coward
In the year 2300, mankind on Earth faced floods all over the world. It started in the northern waters, as the polar ice caps of the North Pole started to melt at a much faster rate due to Global Warming. The melting accelerated through the 2200s and eventually, there was nothing that could be done to stop it. But something wierd also caused it. It was found that the water levels shot up in the year 2280 for some other external factor. It was like, it was not the polar ice caps melting that caused the flooding in the first place and instead, a large singular level of water just rose up from beneath the Earth. Jumping forward to 2300, the whole planet is engulfed in water. Civilisations have stopped as people have been trapped under the water left to die and eventually sufficate. Governments have left their parliamentary buildings and declared a state of emergency, leaving most countries to fall into anarchy. All flat and low level grounds were completely submerged. Some countries do not even exist anymore e.g. Bangledesh. With increasing deaths, groups of survivors have looked for high ground through the hills and mountaintops, but in some countries, they do not have the privalllage to have a mountain round every corner. Urban areas were especially affected. Strange further issues with the flood have been examined. Survivors have reported to have picked up a deadly disease which came from the water, so this means it is risky for people who hope to just swim in it. Survivors who have swum or survived the water have normally died from picking up this dirty disease from the water and it's been found that some tiny water worm unique to the flood has caused this, gradually withering away human bodies and eating at them until they die. There is no cure to this currently, sadly. There are also reports of survivors being dragged into the water by incredible expressionless humanoids made of pure water-creatures thought not to be real and thought to be made up by the conspiracy theorists...but this is not true, they are real and can appear from the water at any time. People believe the sudden water level increase was linked with them, two unexplainable issues with the Flood. What's more, walking fish-like creatures have emerged from the water. People think they are the infected dead corpses with the water parastite and that is what is causing this. In some cases, this is true, but in many cases, they are just evolved fish, trying to reap havoc on those who ate them: they are scaley and have the heads of a piranha, with teeth able to rip apart humans. Groups of lawless survivors have been created in the cities to try and take advantage of the anarchy.
You control one of the survivors in the country of Britain during the Flood. This will be set somewhere in the south of England just outside of London. There have been rumours that the raised levels of the Surrey Hills provide shelter from the flood. The millitary have had their bases destroyed but the navy have set their expertise to action and sent ships around the country to help save people. The survivors aim to get to the Surrey Hills Shelter that has been set up and then from there, they can try to go north. There has been rumours that the navy have set up giant bases which seem to either be massive ships or just a floating building. The survivors have heard of a place the Navy have set up known as the 'Floating Fortress.' The survivors tend to be armed, since many have looted the ruins of other millitary bases, shops and whatnot, though guns are less common since this Britain and there would be more hunting rifles.

The Survivors
Groups of humans, young and old (mainly young), who hope to band together and seek refuge in the shelters. In the Surrey Hills area, the survivors hope to get to the shelter so that they can find more information about the permanant homes the millitary and navy have prepared as part of the rescue program-mainly the Floating Fortress, a huge ship-like structure prepared for the crisis in Northern and Middle England. Around England, similar groups plan to go to nearby shelters so they can protect themselves from the diseases and terrors of the outside. Shelters for these survivors tend to have a lot of medical aid and weapons.
The Lawless Survivors (Anarchists + Bandits)
During the fall of the British government, these groups and individuals wanted nothing but anarchy as they thrived off of it, looting from shops, attacking the innocent, exploiting the Wave-worm infection to weaken their enemies. The individuals allied with noone and favouring noone else but themselves but groups of 'outlaws' formed official groups for those who did not want to be controlled by the millitary. Significant groups include, the Tsunami Swords (who specifically focused on harnessing their blades), the Mermaids (an all female feminist league), the Sharks (Working class and Middle Class tough bandits), the Great White Sharks (A right-wing White supremacist group which formed a coalition with another group known as 'the Rivers of Blood'), The Alligators, The Overlords, The Blue Hand, Black Abyss (the most fearsome of them all), Jolly Rodger Pirates, Skull and Crossbone Pirates
The infected: Survivors infected with the Wave-worm
Many of those who have come into contact with the water, especially the filthy black water, develop a disease which makes their body feel weaker and weaker. Heavy vomiting and headaches are symptoms. It's caused by a parasitic tiny worm creature which gets bigger and bigger in the human's stomach until it has eaten so much skin that it is big enough to digest the human's organs. It eventually results in the person's death, but if the person has survived for long enough, the worm moves positions from the human's stomach to their brain. Here, the Wave-worm injects poisons into the brain and latches on with it's back end, causing the human to act like a mindless killing zombie, a carrier of the Wave-worm. The Wave-worm will be able to control the human until it is ejected.
The Fish-men (Known also as the Fodyrians or the Hydro-noids)
Many of those who have fell into the water and come back much later have been observed to have been turned into a fish kind of humanoid. Mainly of them have piranha heads, but they can be other fish and even octopi at times. They are their own race which were originally an evolved version of fish in response to the downfall of humans. They proclaim that they are the rulers of Earth now and that all humans should die or be converted into their faction by being submerged into the water. They live in packs on the surface and swim down to the bottom of the sea where they control many of the submerged cities. They seem to live in a kingdom at the bottom of the sea bed with a large castle called 'the Underwater Citadel.' The humans have not seen this place and only know of a large submerged former-human city they call 'Atlantis.' It may be that this race also live in the atlantic sea and have lived in the actual lost city at some point.
The Water-born
This is the term given to the unknown water elemental humanoids. They started appearing after the Hydro-noids starting appearing and have caught people off-guard many times, pulling them into the water and suffocating them. They have no known weakness as of yet, as they are able to dodge bullets by creating hole in their molecular structure, but it will be revealed later that they can be stunned with electricity and that this weakens them, causing them to be able to be shot at. Rumours circulate that they are being led by a large Water-born being known as 'Alpha Aquarios.'
The Millitary (Based on certain ships around Britain + The Floating Fortress in the Midlands)
After anarchy was declared, the millitary decided to pick up the pieces and try to go and save the survivors, with the help of the Navy, as the Millitary were weak and had no real naval power. Many of the lawless believe the Millitary are trying to start a new government-a millitary dictatorship. Inside of the coalition itself, there are conflicts as to what to do about ruling the country now that the monarchy and politicians in the House of Commons and Lords have been killed. The coalition have many goals: to locate all survivors and house them in their ships and floating fortresses, to bring political stability to the country by proposing a constitution, to cure the Wave-worm disease, to defeat the Water-born, to bring power back to Britain (as most electricity has been cut out). Many Royal titles have been removed from the army and navy's association and they are trying to contact the remaints of the air force too. The highest ranking man of the British Army (formally called 'The British Army AND Royal Marines) and hence the leader is the only Field Marshall still alive: Field Marshall Joffrey Wheeler, a man whose advisors and subordinate Generals pressure him to stop with the survivor searching, which has gone on for plenty of time in their eyes, and go ahead with the extermination of all those who will not accept the army as the true rulers of Britain. Wheeler just wants to help the survivors and so is a deeply conflicted man. His Generals shot down those who claimed that the millitary should not rule and the Royal Marines were hence abolished. Wheeler would be up for either millitary dictatorship or Monarch rule, if it were to help and stablize the country. Of course, there are still many who believe that the current monarchy somehow escaped Buckingham Palace or that there is a least one or two potential heirs that have survived.
The Grand Navy (Formarly called the 'Royal Navy') replaced the term 'Royal' with 'Grand' after it was established that all members of the Royal Family in Britain had died. This was not true and it was an assumption made after some time. The Admiral of the Fleet, the highest ranking position in the Grand Navy, is held by Walter Edgeworth. He is a self-centred egotistical man who believes the Navy should be in control. The tyrannical way he controls everyone has caused a number of Admirals, those ranked one below him, to try and plot against him. Some Admirals have left the Navy completely because of him and joined the sea-faring pirate nations who have based themselves on several islands created by the Flood.
The Sea Falcons
After the Monarchy was believed to have been died out during the Floods, all organisations with the term 'Royal' in them dropped the term and changed their name. The RAF, that is, the Royal Air Force, changed their name too. The agreed name was the Sea Falcons but this became apparent after they fell out with the rest of the millitary. Field Marshal Wheeler wanted the air force to help drop supplies for the survivors and to collect some of the survivors. Most agreed this was a worthy purpose for the air force but Admiral of the Fleet Edgeworth disagreed. Edgeworth argued that the air force did not have the oil to fuel the aircraft and believed the survivors should be left on their own. After a long time of disagreements, Marshal of the Air Force Sir Lazarus Harding, left, as they were not getting anywhere. He took the bulk of his airforce with him down south, his closest base to where the RP is would be Aldershot-near to where the Millitary have mobilised their garrison there. He believed it was time for the Air Force to shine-they were used only as a puppet by the British Army and up until that point, there had only been honorary roles in the airforce. Lazarus took a different approach. He believed there was no such thing in an honorary role. The 50 year old had gotten his role from a previous war. He took with him 3 of the Navy's precious aircraft carriers. Those who disagree with him would later form the lawless groups 'The Seagulls,' who disagreed with Harding's approach. The 'Sky Raiders' were a group of bandits who frequently stole planes from the Sea Falcons. They tried to create chaos in them and use them to raid other towns. (
