PLOT:
14 Years after the world’s natural resources are all but extinguished, and war has broken out over what materials and fertile land remains, the world has been plunged into nuclear armageddon.
The world is nothing but dust-covered ruins, fallout and ruined buildings comprising the landscape. Few life forms have been left alive; the explosions that destroyed the world sparing only the few that were lucky enough to escape into underground bunkers or well protected caves.
You, and a couple dozen others, are members of a large, abandoned military bunker, known colloquially by its inhabitants as “Eden.” It has most of the modern amenities that any post-apocalypse bastion of life would need; hydroponic farms, water filters, solar generators, and as luck would have it, a couple weapons.
After the first few ponies from Eden decided to try trekking into the ruins to scout for any signs of life, they were met with… less than preferable faces.
Mutated organisms roam the ruins in packs, hunting down the last things that haven’t been horribly mutated by the radiation. The ponies of Eden were able to fight them off for a little while, but soon, ammunition was running low, farms were becoming less reliable, and mutant creatures began hunting nearer and nearer to Eden’s entrance.
That’s where you come in.
The people of Eden have come to an agreement that as long as there is little ammunition, there is little hope in fighting off mutants. So, the group decided that the best option would be to send out the fastest, most intelligent, and those best trained in melee combat to go out into the ruins, sidestepping the mutants, gathering ammunition to fight them, and also gathering other important supplies, such as canned goods, non-radioactive books, tools, and other necessities.
You have been selected to become a runner, with a squad of five other ponies. You may be scared, you may be excited, or you may not even care.
But what none of the new Runners know is the new danger that is rising, and what they are about to uncover…

RULES:
1. Anything that wouldn't be allowed in other threads, don't do it here.
2. For the moment, only pony characters are allowed.
3. During the game, there will be a map that I create. At the beginning of a day, you and your team must select which building to raid that day. Each building has pre-determined supplies. You could end up bringing home a treasure trove of ordinance, or you could end up with a mutant claw dug into your side. Also, there will be ponies in Eden who desperately need the items you find. Who you give them to is your choice.
4. To join, fill out an app (found below)

APP:
Name:
Gender:
Race:
Appearance: (Can be a description or a picture)
Short Bio: (What role did they fill before the end of the world? What did they do in Eden before becoming a Runner?)
Starting item: (Your character begins with a gas mask and radiation-protection jacket, along with a small sidearm with three bullets. You may take one extra item along with you. It could be a melee weapon, first aid kit, tool, or anything that isn't too overpowered.
Here's mine as an example:
Name: Doc
Gender: Stallion
Race: Unicorn
Appearance: He has a slightly pale coat, and a silver, unkempt mane. His cutie mark is a skull with a large bolt going through it.
Short Bio: Before the end of the world, he was never seen without a lab coat, performing experiments in his own home, that he seldom told others about. After the bombs fell, Doc had survived by finding his way to Eden, surviving and helping the others of Eden by using his medical expertise to treat injuries and illnesses of others. It's no understatement to say that he and the other doctors of Eden are vital to it's survival.
Once he is selected to become a Runner, he will probably be the medic of the group, staying back to patch up wounds that others will no doubt sustain in the wasteland.
Starting item: A roll of cloth bandages.
