I'm writing all this down because I have a grand vision of what this collaboration looks like in my head. I love the theme and wanted to delve a little deeper. I believe this collaboration should resemble something along the lines of a Fallout-type world. The idea came to me because there is a group of kids in that game who live in a town called "Little Lamplight". It's a shanty-town in a cavern completely run by commando-esque children with hunting rifles and oversize body armor. I'm using this as an example of what I'm getting at.

      It's just an idea, but I think the collab could be even more dark than it already is and become a story of desperation and war, but also a story about hope and courage in the face of horrifying circumstances. We could even develop a fictional town in which this war is being fought. I saw it as a half industrial, half suburban town with outlying areas like lumber yards and swamps and summer camps.

  So here's a list of characters and areas I've come up with so far for the children's side. Feel free to illustrate, elaborate, or give a voice to any of them, or submit your own to the collab if they spark any ideas. And anyone willing to come up with one of these lists for monsters, you should totally do that.

     I know I just threw a ton of ideas and information at you guys, but I think this could be a brilliant world to create and develop, with rich characters and a gripping story. I'm thinking Lord Of The Flies meets Fallout 3 meets Cloverfield meets The Mist meets The Goonies meets Dawn Of The Dead. If that makes any sense (which it doesn't). But I haven't been this excited about a collaboration in awhile. So let's get to it. And of course, you don't have to use any of my ideas, make up some characters or areas or groups on your own and let's breathe some life into this little, terrible world we've created.

And Wirrow, if this isn't what you were thinking, then just disregard this haha.
