OOOH! An apocalypse! First, decide wat KIND of apocalypse:
ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE: No one is নিরাপদ from the flesh-eating living dead. There are two basic kind of Zombie Apocalypses- 1. Where citizens live average lives while zombies attack in secret and 2. The whole world is a dead, zombie-filled wasteland. Few people are alive, and they live in the ruins of abandoned buildings.
Examples of Published Works Which Refer to This:
-Zombie Land comes readily to mind.
NATURAL APOCALYPSE-
A gigantic Earthquake splits the earth. A huge tidal wave drowns millions. A massive freeze. A hurricane devastates everyone. Volcanos erupt, lava spewing down the slopes of ones that were thought to be dormant. Everyone struggles to survive.
Example of Published Works That Contain This:
-Day After Tomorrow, Numb3rs (I think)
ALIEN APOCALYPSE: Aliens invade earth. For some reason, they are usually green and have gigantic, steel killing machines and heat rays.
Examples of Published Works Which Contain This:
-War of the Worlds. There's got to be more.....
VIRUS APOCALYPSE: A dangerous disease is spreading. It could be one that instantly kills, অথবা perhaps it turns আপনি into a zombie.
Example:
-I Am Legend.
There are three basic ways for a character to "fight" the apocalypse:
1. They must prevent it from happening. This could mean evacuating people from California before it sinks into the ocean (scientists say it will, in due time) অথবা killing the aliens with their handy-dandy spaceship before they reach earth. Or, it could mean killing an evil monster অথবা finding the cure to the disease before it spreads.
2-The characters live during an apocalypse, but they don't really fight it. The adventures they have don't change the fact that it's the end of the world.
3-The protagonists live during the apocalypse and know how to make the world a নিরাপদ place again. Maybe they have to steal an ancient Mayan artifact which wards off zombies, অথবা find the cure to the zombie disease. Either way, the apocalypse has started and the characters have to end it.
COOL THINGS TO HAPPEN DURING AN APOCALYPSE-
1. The characters are on their secret quest when they pass দ্বারা the ruins of an old structure. One character sighs, and says:
"That used to be The White House/Eiffel Tower/Big Ben/Pyramid of Giza. It was a strong, sturdy building, but it was no match for the Mega-tsunami/earthquake/Alien Death ray/ Zombie war."
2.The characters have to hold out and fight zombies/aliens in a well-known store (Costco, McDonald's, Walgreens)
I'm out of ideas for the moment. :P
