≫ WHAT WE BECOME: SURVIVOR STORIES APPLICATIONS ≪
- Applications for What We Become: Survivor Stories are currently on hold while we work on creating our second wave of combat tests.
What We Become: Survivor Stories is a series of bite-sized scenarios meant to test our new and improved combat system in action! Our first wave contained 5 different scenarios, all taking place within the What We Become universe. Our second wave will contain 5 more scenarios. If you've been waiting to play on the server, now's your chance!
Additionally, each scenario has a limited number of slots for each role in the party, as well as an overall participation limit. If you apply for a role/scenario that is already full, you will be asked to apply for a different role/scenario. You can view the number of slots remaining for the current scenario on its respective forum post, linked above.
Make sure to check out our latest newsletter if you haven't yet! It has lots of information about our upcoming lore, among other things.

Health System
Character Hit Point (HP) values vary depending on which traits a character posesses.
The default HP pool a character starts with is 100HP.The maximum HP pool a character may start with is 145HP.
The minimum HP pool a character may start with is 75HP.
Bleed Out Timer
- When a character is downed, a bleed out timer begins.
- On the first down, the character has 5 turns to be revived before they die.
- On the second down, the character has 4 turns to be revived before they die.
- On the third down, the character has 3 turns to be revived before they die.
- A character is considered downed when their health reaches 0HP.
- While downed, a character has two options for revival: revival by another character, or self-revival.
- Self-revival is limited to 3 attempts for characters with a medical background, and 2 attempts for all characters.
- If all attempts as revival fail, the character dies outright.
Tiered Wound System
- There are two types of wounds: minor and heavy wounds.
- These wounds impose limits on health restoration and can only be remedied through the use of specialized medical equipment.
- When a character sustains two heavy wounds, they will only be able to use their sidearm accurately (Revolvers or Pistols).
- Attempts to attack with a primary weapon (Shotguns, Rifles, etc.) will be met with significant penalties on all rolls to hit.
- Minor wounds may occur randomly when hit by an attack that deals more than 50HP or when a character's health drops below 20HP.
- Minor wounds decrease a character's maximum HP pool by 15HP per wound.
- Heavy wounds are sustained when hit by a critical attack or an attack that deals more than 75HP.
- Heavy wounds decrease a character's maximum HP pool by 25HP per wound.
- Each time a character is downed in combat, they sustain a heavy wound.
- A character may only go down 3 times in a single combat encounter or event; after the third down, the character dies outright.
