Solstice
(This is absolutely inspired by @fralegend015’s Oderhan but I wanted to take a different spin on the idea)
The world was once a peaceful place, one where people could be born with the possibility to fulfill their dreams, where people had hope for the future and could trust that the world would give them the opportunity to be anything that they imagined.
Those days are long past.
That day when the sun split into five and drove the world mad was the same day the world realized how small it actually was. As the strange light twisted the bodies of those who stepped into it, the wealthy, capable, and influential hid themselves away in bunkers and sky cities. As the people below lost their minds and bodies to the five suns, it was found that there are a few who were unaffected by the light, although these people, no matter how long or far they ran, were always found.
You are not one of calamities survivors, you are one of the filth that now plague the lands, regaining a fragment of your sentience after a century of wandering the desert wastes, mindlessly killing anything that crosses your path. But with a fragment of your mind regained you feel a new purpose welling within you, one that dominates your every waking moment.
DEVOUR
One imperative reverberating through your skull. The only way to regain who you were. The only way to gain power beyond your wildest dreams. You must consume.
You can sense them. There are others, many others. Some have already devoured enough for something to grow inside them. That something, the thing that gave you your memories, the thing that gave you power. You must have it.
## 
Hello! I exist again! Don’t mind my prolonged disappearance from the forum because I have a fun idea for a forum game! I have
The basic idea is that the world ended, the planet is now a desert where the suns never set. The few bastions of humanity exist in either underground bunkers or cities in the sky. Anyone who steps into the sunlight will have their location broadcasted to every twisted in a ten mile radius. Despite this, people will still need to collect resources from the world, so there will be occasional roving bands of people searching for resources to prey on.
Additionally, awakened twisted know where each other are, but not necessarily who each other are. There will be other awakened twisted besides the players
I encourage you to be creative with your mutations and playstyle! I will try to make some simple images for everyone so you all have a sort of visual aid.
I feel like going for more of an eldritch vibe for this game.

A little over a century. Everyone who remembers the old world is dead (With the exception of monsters).

Do all twisted look different or do they all look the same (Do we get to decide what we look like at the start?)?

All twisted are unique, each one is just a little different from every other, so yea you can make up your own idea. You’re not gonna be forced into a box or anything.

I am not sure you are exactly sapient or sound of mind to do that in the twisted state
