At the start of the game your character has forgotten all but their most basic of skills. Over the course of the game, your character slowly regains some of their memories in the form of skills they used to know.

Some of the finer details of this amnesia varies from person to person, but the broad strokes are consistent between people. By and large, most people can remember basic personal care - feeding yourself, enough sense to avoid injury, movement and speech are all present. In general, though, nouns aren't great.

While thousands died, others came together to try to help each other. Practicality demanded some cooperation, at least in small groups. And now, with shelters built and regular food being brought in, some groups look back on the devastation and ask 'why', and others ask 'what now'. These are the most notable groups that have formed in the chaotic two months since you found yourselves waking: text/html 2017-07-31T21:54:22+00:00 http://aftermath.chaosdeathfish.com/the_bureaucrats?rev=1501538062&do=diff Bureaucrats We can rebuild. It won’t be quick and it won’t be easy, but we can restore what we once had. Society, industry, culture, none of those are lost forever, because we're still here. Sure, we can probably survive individually as we are, but we should aim for more than that. Whatever happened, we can't let it destroy that spark of human spirit that drives us to aim ever higher. We can do more than just survive, we can thrive. To do that, we’ll need to get organised. text/html 2017-07-31T21:54:39+00:00 http://aftermath.chaosdeathfish.com/the_humanitarian_movement?rev=1501538079&do=diff The Humanitarian Movement “I learned what plants are poisonous by finding bodies next to them.
