Doc A real medical doc, or close to it. Experienced with hazardous materials.
Hulk The muscle. Removes obstacles and smashes enemies.
Hunter A nature survivalist familiar with flora and fauna. Navigates dangerous biomes.
Nomad A rider, pilot or driver who delivers items from afar. The more operable vehicles there are, the more common and practical this archetype becomes.

The fact that it doesn't have its own distinct name really goes to show how under-represented the concept is, despite being more interesting that traditional post apocalypse by far. I am so, so fucking tired of mad max or walking dead ripoffs where as soon as something goes wrong a switch flips in everyone's heads and its a race to see who can become a serial killer rapist cannibal the fastest. Even worse when the timeline places the apocalypse decades or centuries in the past and everyone is still in raider-mode, when thats just not how people work. People crave order and stability and safety, and are more than happy to work together to get those things. Not everyone is going to unite under the same banner, some groups are going to be in conflict with each other, but you'll still end up with towns and cities in fairly short order and they can't ALL be fronts for cannibal cults or psychopathic necrophiliacs or people who piss on the toilet seats in public restrooms.

Just give me a story where the apocalypse happened, and instead of following a small group of always on the move survivors doing legally justified self defense murder from one side of the continent to the other just give me a group of people who are trying to carve out a place where they can ride this out, which turns into building a place where they can thrive, and all of the complications that come with trying to get the resources they need, fashion laws in an era where there is no greater authority to appeal to, deal with bringing new people into the fold and the inherent friction there, etc. Civilization building amidst the ruins of the old world.

There's a similar argument for the fallout games where nobody seemingly ever fixed themselves a house despite it being like 200 years after the bombs fell.

I guess people prefer sleeping on the cold floor of a bombed out building with the roof blown off.
>>
>>92652778
I honestly think thats a Bethesda specific problem. In Fallout 1 there are a ton of obvious new communities and buildings, even if those buildings are mostly made of scrap. And the isometric perspective obscures a lot of the detail.

But in Fallout 3 and such, everywhere you go looks like its only be about 5 years since the bombs dropped. Usable shit is still on shelves, bodies are still seated at tables, etc. What, has *no other person* been in this house in the past 200 years? I can SEE TOWN from here. The idea that everything is so preserved in the moment of disaster is absurd. Even if no humans disturbed these remains, animals sure as hell would have.

Those ships are cobbled together from scrap of a technological world where they didn't exist in the first place.
They were never proper battleship in the first place.
They probably had to rebuild the gun themselves from scrap.

It's not that it's under-represented, it's that it usually melds into other genres. You don't have "post post-apocalypse" settings, you have a fantasy/scifi/hardboiled noir/etc setting with a post-apocalyptic backstory that it recovered from.
>Fragged Space is a sci-fi space opera, but it's also post post-apocalyptic
>Sword World is dungeon-running fantasy, but it's also post post-apocalyptic (arguably it's like post post-apocalyptic post post-apocalyptic since the setting has undergone and recovered from two apocalypses so far)
>Endless Legend is fantasy set on a post post-apocalyptic world hidden away from a post post-apocalyptic space opera setting
>There's another fantasy game I'm forgetting where magic is actually just people who can interact with all the nanotech still left over from the previous civilization
>FF14 is fantasy, but has suffered from 6 world-shattering Calamities to reach the current Seventh Astra Age and then you avert two more over the course of the game.
Point being, it's not a genre in and of itself but something to give a certain flavor and character to whatever genre you're working with.

Recently watched the Fallout show on Amazon, actually pretty decent.

It tries to get around the "why the fuck has nobody ever cleaned anything" problem despite it being set in essentially the heart of the NCR by having somebody have dropped ANOTHER bomb and reset shit in the area back to insane raiders.

The show is rife to hell with other weird problems but its definitely a case of a bunch of fallout nerds managed to trick Amazon into giving them infinite money because everything looks amazing
>>
>>92653447

But none of those are stories *about* the rebuilding, a rebuilding simply happened at some point in the settings past. By that logic There's Something About Mary is a post post-apocalyptic movie because its set after the fall of Rome. By over a thousand years, but even so still counts.
>>
post-apocalypstic
post-post-apocalyptic doesn't exist and was made up by fallout nerds to contrast fallout 2/new vegas with 3
rebuilding society is an integral part of the post-apocalyptic literary tradition. might as well ask what genre you call westerns that take place at the end of the 19th cenutry

But reconsctruction is part of Mad Max?
>>
>>92651263
I don't think there's a point naming it because honestly so many fantasy sci-fi settings have some kind of ancient apocalypse that was discovered later that it's standard at this point.
>>
>>92653475
>but none of those are stories *about* the rebuilding
Fragged Space is very specifically about the rebuilding, actually. Sword World as well has multiple problems plaguing the world and despite the apocalypse being 300 years ago they're still suffering from the after effects and trying to rebuild (the setting went from roughly modern-age magitech all the way back down to swords and sorcery with some retained tech here and there like a city of trains trying to reestablish nationwide rail systems) and deal with the fact that you now need magic swords to ward away evil monsters a la Crystal Chronicles.

Though it sounds like what you're after is less post post-apocalyptic and more just bog standard post-apoc but dealing more with nation building and reconstruction than LARPing out Mad Max. Hell, even Mad Max was focused heavily on reconstruction and nation building in Beyond Thunderdome and to a much lesser degree in Fury Road
>By that logic There's Something About Mary is a post post-apocalyptic movie because its set after the fall of Rome.
Don't be a faggot, nothing about the fall of Rome informs There's Something About Mary. A middle ages movie that focuses heavily on exploring or dealing with the fact that people often lived in Roman ruins could be considered post post-apocalyptic though, sure. That's stretching the definition a bit but it'd have similar "picking up the pieces" themes as, say, Gargantia or Fragged Space.
>>
>>92651282
This. It's a subversion. It's yet another blatant rip off of the Bible. In Scripture the Apocalypse is Revelation and the literal end of the world once and for all. No change. No cycle. It's the definite end.
Games should only use apocalypse when something's being revealed.

It is very much about the sea world and its cultures, as experienced by what is essentially a space marine who is stranded away from the interstellar forever war that is the only thing he has ever known. Without going into details too much and spoiling the show, its very good and one of my favorites. The script is basically flawless, every episode matters (yes, even the mandatory beach episode) and the characters are fun and endearing. It also has one of the best examples of AI in fiction.
There is also a followup 2-episode OVA that goes even more into the world and introduces some additional groups and factions, but that was in service of setting up a season 2 that never materialized. Don't worry, season 1 tells a complete story and is perfectly fine as a standalone, consider the OVAs as some fun bonus material thats there if you want it.

Does Log Horizon count?

>The mystical land of Theldessia is ravaged by monsters which spawn from negative energies, and just spawn more monsters on death unless the negative energy is somehow neutralised
>So archmages create a race of immortal barely-sentient homunculi called Adventurers, which fight monsters all day and absorb their energy to grow stronger. They can even respawn when killed like monsters do, though as the same being each time.
>Then one day the entire Adventurer race suddenly starts freaking out and acting way beyond their programming, yelling in panic about some place called "Earth" and something called an "MMO".

Survival is a non-issue, the focus is entirely on rebuilding society, establishing diplomatic relationships between Adventurers and Theldessians, and figuring out how to establish law and order when your criminals are immortal and immune to most methods of confinement.

Ok, so what kind of post-post-apoc do you want? Are you going for Fallout New Vegas "the apocolypse clearly still happened but now we have society" sort of setting, or the sort of "medieval fantasy that you wouldn't even know is post-apoc outside of subtle descriptions and the final dungeon" that you find in Etrian Odyssey?
>>
I like these kinds of settings, where an apocalypse happened so long ago that the details have faded into myth, and the world that came before has very little impact on the day-to-day lives of the people in the present, and the knowledge that endured was that which was immediately useful at the time. It's a nice excuse for anachronisms and to explain fantasy technological development not happening in the same order as real world history.

Arguably the next bigger power would probably wait until the nuclear fallout of the second bomb clears up since right now there's basically nothing to rule over.

Though I have hopes that the legion might show up for the next season if they end up making it.

>>92659457
the show basically turned the BoS into the legion with the Latin obsession and changes to iconography so it's probably unlikely.

One thing I like out of the shitpile that was the least interesting way to cripple the NCR was the fact it had gotten to the point it could build its own skyscrapers and resembled a bombed-out, modern city.
>>92659360
The next biggest power was the BoS. They decided to capitalize on the fact by kicking the NCR while they were down.
What should had happened but didn't was some kind of relief effort from its remaining cities and territory, since even though Shady Sands was the jewel of the nation, it wasn't the only place with thousands of people.

>>
>>92659587
but that always existed
>>
>>92660314
What? No its not, and I think you might be brain damaged if you think those two are somehow equivalent.

The thing people are pointing out about post-apocalypse media is that humans don't fucking act that way. Even anarchists wouldn't want to live in anarchy, they just think they do. The idea that humanity would devolve into raider mode and never stop flies in the face of how humans have acted in the aftermath of basically every crises in history. Its a setting-enforced stupidity to keep the premise from invalidating itself, and asking 'okay, but what if the plot DIDN'T force everyone to act retarded?' is a reasonable ask.

Jamming cars into an early medieval fantasy setting just wouldn't make sense, because the industry required to build even one car simply doesn't exist under those circumstances. You could have guns, though. Not great ones, but guns. All of the materials and tools needed to make one existed at that time, we just had not put them together so while it would be an unusual thing to include its not setting-violating in the same way that a car would be.

One of the things that I really liked about the OVAs is that Ledo's new character arc (after the first seasons arc of becoming a real human bean) is Ledo trying not to be crushed by the absolutely massive fucking weight of the responsibility he feels he has.
There is no one else in Ledo's position. He is, so far as he knows, the only human alive who has all of the facts when it comes to whats going on in space, whats the current state of Earth, and the past events that started this conflict in the first place. He knows what is at stake, and how incredibly fragile the situation is. All life on Earth could be wiped out tomorrow, and he is powerless to stop it. Unless he can find some way to communicate with the squids and find a way forward.
Because if it doesn't happen in his lifetime, it probably won't happen at all. Even if he writes down everything he knows about the space war, no one on Earth will understand. Not really. They can't imagine it. They can't solve a problem they don't understand.

There's "Dies the Fire" by SM Stirling, and various different "white dude builds stuff" books published by Baen.

Post-post apocalypse is represented better in books, with games and tv shows people just want to have a medieval fantasy setting with modern weapons so don't put much thought into it. Though Mutant Year Zero and the shitty White Wolf edition of Gamma World both have rules for treating your settlement as a character.
>>
>>92662117
Personally I quite like Xenozoic Tales (aka Cadillacs & Dinosaurs), and Warren Ellis's FreakAngels (which was published free online, and is now a Crunchyroll series). Both slightly different takes on "what happens after the apocalypse", so if you like either 1950s automobiles and dinosaurs, or a "what if the Midwich Cuckoos* destroyed London and ruled what was left?" scenario, they're worth checking out.

* - for those who haven't read John Wyndham, this is the novel that was adapted as Village of the Damned.

I, for one, would be welding spikes and armor onto a civic the second running water stops for an hour. Fuck this gay society.
Riding shiny and chrome is preferable.

Fallout 3 tries to get around it by just having DC be a massive shithole war zone. Muties and ghouls fucking everyone up, raiders passing by to grab salvage and slaves, Talon Company just generally being a bag of dicks trying to keep things bad, and the area in general is just bad at supporting life. The houses themselves, cobbled together as they tend to be, aren't terrible. They're covered in grime but it's a location with nearly 0 access to clean water so that isn't strange. They have functional furniture and a believable level of clutter.

Fallout 4 is where they really fucked it up. They tried to pull the same war zone excuse for why everything is all fucked up but they did it in a bunch of ways that stretch belief (the Institute has been kidnapping people for years by the time of the game, every Super Mutant in Boston is one of their victims on top of the synth crisis). And on top of that they made the homes worse; areas just have rubble piles laying around, there's a merchant and her son living in a diner that still has 200 year old skeletons sitting at the tables while the two of them sleep on the floor. No one in Boston knows how to use a plumb line or a ruler so everything is crooked by 5+ degrees. It's all the issues people had with Fallout 3 turned up to 11 and it makes the whole game feel fake as hell.

I was going to say that the BoS in the show is mostly Maxson's boys from Boston but checking now, apparently Maximus is from California and was recruited shortly after the NCR got nuked.

The BoS was still around in Maxson by the time of New Vegas so that's not impossible but apparently east coast reinforcements don't show up until part way through the show so I have no clue where this huge amount of equipment is supposed to be from. The west coast chapters arguably shouldn't even have T-60s

How long was the world considered post apocalyptic after the Bronze Age collapse?
>>
>>92682674
Seems to have varied regionally.
Greek dark ages were roughly 1100BC to 750BCish.
The Hittites got their shit together around 1000BC though.
Some of the Egyptian, Assyerian, Phonecian and Elam stuff managed through most of it.

Fallout with the NCR?

>>Terminology, not history. Stop using a website which literally has a demon for a mascot.
What fresh sort of christfaggot lunacy is this? I don't like plebbit either, dude, but their mascot is a robot, not a demon.

Humanity in Star Trek is post global nuclear apocalypse, uplifted by aliens because a PTSD-addled alcoholic made a rocket go faster-then-light to get off the wretched dirt heap.

and what did they do? sit pretty, stagnating.

>The fact that it doesn't have its own distinct name
It literally does, though. You're literally responding to a post telling you what it is called. Saying that "post-post-apocalyptic" isn't a "distinct name" is no different from saying that "post-apocalyptic" isn't a "distinct name". Like what the fuck do you want? "Joseph"?
>under-represented the concept
It's brutally fucking common. What planet are you on?

>similar argument for the fallout games
Only the Bethesda (bad) ones. All others focused heavily on the return of civilization and people living their lives in the new world.

The Chinese were OVERALL more advanced than the Europeans until the Wright Brothers took flight

so its fucking trek fags that keep posting this rebound after the apocalypse stuff
>>
>>92697719
post post is a stupid turn of phrase, everything after the apocalypse is post.
The apocalypse is a singular event at a point in time.
The timeline after is not the apocalypse its the post-apocalypse.
You can write your post apocalypse any way you like it can be green hills and blue skies.

That's Bethesda specifically making the Americans living on the east coast complete idiots. 1, 2 and NV on the west coast follow the steady progression of civilisation's uneasy recovery, development and expansion following the bombs dropping.

The NCR has done much better job than any of the clowns in the East, even if they're nowhere near perfect and really, really shouldn't have tried taking the Mojave.
>>
>>92698753
not really, its fortified some towns but it hasnt tamed the wasteland at all nor has the means to
>>
>>92698757
No one has tamed the wasteland so that's a bizarre standard to hold any faction to.
>>
>>92698771
but your actual bizarre premise is the NCR has caused the west coast to recover when the west coast is wasteland
