Apocalypse How Meme
It's the end of the world as you know it. How do you feel?
Somehow the world has ended. Maybe it was nuclear war. Maybe a horde of zombies descended on the world. Maybe some virus just started targeting the population, dwindling the numbers down to nil. Whatever it is, your character is one of the few that's survived. And depending on what this new world has in store for them, they might wish they weren't so lucky.

1. Last Action Hero - You tried your best to save the world, but despite the superpowers, the teamwork, and the sacrifice of many good friends, you couldn't quite pull it off. Now you're left with your guilt and a universe where half the people left are depending on you to help them, while the rest are trying to hunt you down for your failures. Good luck with that, hero.
2. Science Savior - They said it was impossible, they said it was futile, but you know that if you just got a little bit of support you could fix all of the world's troubles. Maybe your experiments are a bit on the unethical side, but the survival of humanity is depending on you! You can't let the world down. Time to grab those test-tubes and get yourself a lab assistant that doesn't mind getting their hands dirty.
3. The Last Man/Woman On Earth - Well, it's finally happened. A virus or disease or genetic mutation has all but wiped out members of the opposite sex and humanity is doomed. But what's this? A lone survivor? As the saviour of the species, they'll be glad to lend a hand (or reproductive organ) to help restore the population, right? Maybe a little bit of persuasion is in order.
4. So Lonely - You haven't talked to another person in days and you're starved for conversation. So when you finally meet another lone traveler it makes total sense to stick together, right? Maybe share some food, some companionship, some ammo....Better hope you both get along.
5. Zombieland - That's right. It's those damn zombies ruining everything. Maybe you woke up in an abandoned hospital and had to run for your life from some orderlies munching on the other patients. Maybe you spotted your dear uncle Fred crawling out of the cemetary for an unscheduled family visit. Either way, the world as you knew it is gone. It's zombieland now, so grab a shotgun, aim for the head, and don't skimp on the bullets.
6. Mutation Station - The bomb dropped and some people weren't fortunate enough to go in the blast. Now those left behind have to deal with nuclear winter, a dwindling food supply, and some strange additions to the human gene code. Maybe these superhumans are friendly and misunderstood. Then again, maybe they just want to eat your brains.
7. Last Dance - The world is ending. You know it, everyone knows it, so the only thing left to do is party like it's 1999. Complete your bucket list, do the things you never got the chance to do before, and maybe screw up the courage to do the things you were too scared to even think about doing. Oh, and watch out for looters.
