"I'd write the date here, but I've kind of lost track. I think it's Sunday. It's been about a week since the first infection, since those things started appearing. It started in the Hospital and spread like a wildfire from there. The police didn't last very long, and then they brought the National Guard in to try and quarantine the entire city. I don't know if they've succeeded or not, but they stopped me from getting out, so maybe they've stopped everyone else. I'm held up on the fifth floor of one of the office buildings up town, with a few other people I found. They seem like good people, or at least smart enough to know that we need to focus on those monsters instead of each other. Still no word from mom or dad." "According to the National guard, it's Wednesday. I think that's the only actual piece of information they've given us. We found a few more people, so that makes us about 9 strong. We're starting to run out of food, and the National Guardsmen won't let us get close enough to ask them for food without threatening to shoot us. Gregory's feeling under the weather ever since he and Janice came back from a food run to the E-Z Mart. There aren't many safe places left in the city, especially not for a 12 year old girl. But Mike's kind enough to walk me around, and help me look for Mom and Dad. It always bothers him when we go on those walks, but I don't know why. I'll go up and ask some people if they've seen them, show them the picture I keep with me. They say no. They always say no." "They still won't give us food! I don't know why but those stupid National Guards are freaking out so much that we can't even turn the corner without someone trying to shoot at us. Mr. Miller came back with a black eye after trying to talk to a Guard patrol in the city. Speaking of the city, Mike won't go with me to walk anymore. He says it's too dangerous. The last walk we went on, there were fewer people than usual for me to ask. Everyone seems scared. I hope Mom and Dad are okay. I keep telling everyone that they're waiting back at our house, I just know it, but nobody listens. Gergory's sick. It sounds like he's got a cold, or the flu or something. He just keeps coughing and he's gotten really pale. I don't want to get sick so I stay with Suzy in the other room." "Nobody would talk about Gregory today! I don't know why but they told me that no one was allowed to see him. I can hear Gregory knocking on the door though, and it sounds like he wants to come out. Mike, Mr. Miller and Janice are going to go in and talk with him, I think, so maybe when they come back-" This RP takes place approximately 2 weeks and 4 days after the first infection, which happened in Huntington, West Virginia. The city was quarantined, but despite the best efforts, the infection got through. Signs are starting to show up in every major city in the United States. People are getting frightened, some stop going to work. The following is the character sheet for the RP: Name: Sex: Age: Physical Description (Height, Build, hair color, etc.): Character Personality: Residence: Occupation: Equipment: Weapons (if any): Feel free to use yourself, or someone made up. Name: Mason Dowling Sex: Age: 19 Physical Description (Height, Build, hair color, etc.): 6' 1/2", Jaw-length brown hair with a black streak on the left side. Thin frame, but built well in said frame. Small goatee. Wearing dark-blue, slightly torn jeans, black shirt, and a hooded jacket. Carries a messenger bag with supplies (Olive drab, with a red circle and white cross in the middle, a-la medic) Character Personality: A loner by some standards, says whats on his mind, even if people don't necessarily want to hear it. Isn't afraid to be blunt. Tends to hold back rather than put a lot of emotion into what he does. Can be spontaneous, but doesn't rush into danger. Residence: Chicago Occupation: Student Equipment: A few foodstuffs in his messenger bag along with 2 bottles of water. Caribeaner hanging from his messenger bag. Weapons (if any): 2-inch long Stainless Steel Butterfly knife, a Titanium Baseball bat he took from the Baseball Team's supply room. Now for the Zombies. As I said, you will be able to play as our undead friends, or there's a good possibilty that your main human character could become infected himself. If the latter is the case, just copy the information and fill in the relevant areas. How zombie characters work is simple: they control like zombies, they have the same strengths and weakneses that zombies do (immunity to all but cripling wounds or headshots, can't run, don't get tired, etc.) To a human, they control as if the person that the zombie once was is in a heavily sedated awareness. They don't recognize people, except as a source of food, and the nerve reactions of getting hit in some form barely register (they could feel the pressure, but likely not the pain) NOTE: For the zombie type, put "Shambler." This is the common zombie type, since, at the moment, we're not bringing in any "Special Infected" yet. NOTE 2: The zombie's name is simply for the sake of writing. He will not actually go by or respond to the name. Zombie Character Reference Info: Name: Sex: Age: Time since death / reanimation: Physical Description (Include wounds): Zombie Type: ------------------------------ Name: Kyle Sex: Male Age: 24 Time since death / reanimation: Three Weeks Physical Description (Include wounds): Dirty, clumped blonde hair, worn short. Bloodied face, specifically around mouth. Right side of face torn, because that's where he was bitten; shows muscles blood (which is now more of like a dark crimson - black, gooey coagulant.) Around 5' 11", regular build. Wears torn polo and shorts, one flip-flop. One foot appears to be broken, creating a hobble when walking. Zombie Type: Shambler Edited by Jedi, Oct 13 2009, 09:49 PM.

Seriously? It's seriously in Huntington? That's about an hour from my hometown. I know that place pretty well... Do you live in the area, Jedi? I'm curious. Anyways, here's my character. It may or may not be loosely based on myself. Name: Troy Allen Dorsey Sex: Male Age: 19 Physical Description: ~Height: 6'0" ~Build: More than Average ~Weight: 175 lbs ~Eye Color: Blue ~Hair Features: Long, Brown Character Personality: Generally cheerful unless provoked. Despises needles or stinging insects. Residence: Summersville, WV, in his grandfather's home. It is well protected as his grandfather was a gun and knife trader before he retired. Occupation: Library Assistant Equipment: A set of military duffel bags and belts inherited through his great uncle, from whom his first name came from. There is: ~One large duffel (roughly 4 ft long/tall) ~One small duffel (roughly 2 ft long/tall) ~One waist belt (with several pockets for knives and bullets, and one canteen, roughly a liter) and ~One shoulder-to-waist belt with more pockets for anything bullet-sized. In the duffels he carries a few sets of durable clothing and a few pairs of glasses. He abandoned his contacts after he found them to be too cumbersome and annoying to put in every morning with a zombie apocalypse going on. Also in the duffel is several packs of dry ramen and bottles of water, enough to last a month or two if properly rationed. Weapons (if any): He has a set of hunting knives attached to his belt ranging from 2 to 8 inches, one .22 caliber Hornet with precision scope that his grandfather had given him, one .45 pistol that belonged to his father, and the 'family shotgun,' an old, sturdy double-barrel break-action rifle that his great-grandfather had used when he was Troy's age. Ok, yeah, this was me exactly. If it seems too overpowered as for weapons and equipment, I can tone it down, but this is pretty accurate as for the current situation. Gramps gets a lot of good stuff when it comes to guns. Especially that Hornet...  EDIT: I found this appropriate for the circumstances of the RP. Click Here and see if you agree.

No, Arx, I'm in St. Louis (Chicago at the moment, for school). I just needed an Eastern City, and Huntington piqued my interests.... Now, I'm not gonna say what you can and can't have (to a certain extent), just know that you're (character) is/are gonna be hard pressed to carry all of that, let alone run if need be / expend a lot of energy. Just saying. Edited by Jedi, Oct 11 2009, 06:12 PM.

Alright, time I got my guy in on this. Name: Isaac Alexander Crowe Sex: Male Age: 24 Physical Description: Not too tall, around 5'11", but with a lean, lanky build that benefits endurance over strength. Pale skin, hazel eyes and uncared-for, messy black shoulder-length hair. Character Personality: In short: a freak. Isaac possesses limited patience and is often hasty and eager to jump to a conclusion. He can act a little unhinged and jittery at times, and also seems to display a kind of sadistic fascination at times, like a young boy pulling the wings off of a fly. Residence: Anaheim, CA (originally born in Oxford, England) Occupation: Medical School Student Equipment: Dark blue '97 Nissan 240SX, rucksack containing a laptop computer and some basic supplies including a first aid kit and water bottles. Also carries a mobile phone and sometimes wears rectangular-framed glasses. Weapons (if any): Remington 870 Wingmaster pump-action shotgun, Colt Python with 6" barrel. If possible, prefers using a fire axe or other large bladed objects for CQC. |
