I couldn't exactly go through with the previous one, I've decided to bring out one of my "dead" rps back. I tend to be more into zombie-survival roleplays, so here goes. ~~~ Backstory: June 19, 2016 Four years ago the virus was released in New York and spread like wildfire. Within weeks it had spread all throughout the Americas. The United States took full military action to contain the contamination. Deploying Marines throughout the world, control seemed within humanity's grasp. Six months later, with operations in full swing, all hell broke loose. The virus began to mutate, evolving those were infected... In death, the city stirs. Its borders locked down after a sudden government quarantine four years ago, New York's trapped civilians make their way through the derelict buildings, surviving the changing seasons to rebuild their destroyed society from the rubble upwards. Military rescue squads patrol the empty streets, stationed in the city for the long haul, while the CyberTech Corporation continues to develop a possible cure to stop this madness... And the dead rise up and thrive, trailing through the devastated streets of the city, shambling through buildings and clawing through barricades and outposts, reclaiming the city as their own... ~~~ Weapons: Seeing as this takes place basically now, all weapons available to you will be just what we currently have, nothing new or fancy to begin with. Newer weapons may be designed down the road but that won’t be for a long time. When this thing starts up I will not let your character be ultra gun crazy. For survivors, you can start out with a pistol or a shotgun or even a hunting rifle but you will have to justify it. Military and Corporate characters can start out with a rifle or pistol. Keep in mind that these are only starting weapons. You can find more as the rp progresses, but try not to rely heavily on guns. Instead be creative and make impromptu weapons like broken beer bottles, hand saw, nail gun, hair spray with a lighter, and maybe even a spork. Necessity is the mother of invention, so be creative with what your characters find to use in combat. Maybe while unarmed and running from a small group of zombies your character stumbles into the local tool store or sporting goods place (THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES). This idea was inspired by the game Dead Rising for the 360 so for any of you have played it before, try thinking of things like that. I also encourage people to “make” their own weapons if they can. Imagine if you were to find one of those T-shirt firing cannons used at basketball games and modified it to fire something a bit more, unorthodox. Or perhaps you acquire a Nerf-like gun that fires soft foam balls, a bucket of a flammable liquid, and a detachable pilot light and wham! You got yourself a weapon that can rain fiery foam balls of doom! Embrace you inner MacGyver. Also, at the end of each post you will be required to state the remaining ammo you have for any weapons you posses as well as how much of that ammo is actually loaded into your weapon at the moment. Thus when your gun runs dry you will have to state that he/she reloaded the gun sometime before using it again. The amount loaded in the gun is to be stated next to the weapons name in parentheses and the amount of extra ammo you are carrying (doesn’t count ammo already in the gun) is to be put right after the parentheses. Be sure to state any weapons on their person that they have by the end of the post. Also, if they have a weapon that requires some type of power source or non-ammunition item in which there is a limited capacity then state the current capacity in quotation marks next to the required item next to the weapon at the end of the post. Example:
By this example, you have a sawed-off shotgun with two shots loaded into it and twelve rounds of extra ammo, a tazor whose batteries are low on energy with four extra batteries on the side, a wooden plank with a nail in it (self-explanatory), a lighter with only about half of lighter fluid left, and a chainsaw with a full tank of gas. Do realize that this is just an example, its not likely that you will have that much weaponry on you at a one time. A few last notes, you only need to state any weapons that you actually have on your person by the END of the post. If you use a weapon during the post but throw it away by the end of it then you do not need to state it. Also, if your character does not have any weapons on them then you do not have to put anything at the end of the post. ~~~ Vehicles: Nothing special, the vehicles which are normally available to us today can be used here if you want. If you do try and modify a vehicle, be sure to be specific in how you are changing it and what it can then do. My only recommendation is that you try not to make it too powerful. ~~~ Infected: Zombies are not the shambling monstrosities often portrayed in movies and books. These creatures are strong, quick, and have faster reflexes than the majority of the uninfected. However, though they are undeniably physically superior, the zombification process damages higher mental facilities; while you cannot outrun a zombie, you can probably outsmart it. The only way to kill a zombie is to remove or destroy its head, which is often easier said than done. If a zombie does reach you, any scratches or bites will result in the immediate transmission of the virus; unless the infected limb is removed immediately, the disease will spread to the rest of the body. Unfortunately non-humans can be infected as well, so even animals should be feared. Common zombie animals include: Wolves Bears Sharks Birds (Especially dangerous- Can spread in feces) Snakes ~~~ Mutations: I might be adding mutations to infected individuals, to add variety to the number of enemies that survivors will encounter. ~~~ The virus: Effecting all animals on earth (not plants or bacteria), the virus is similar to that of the flu. However, this virus is not nearly as contagious as the flu. Nearly everyone who contracts the virus will die, and most of the victims become zombies capable of spreading the disease to others. An infected person’s only hope would be the immediate removal of any limb exposed to the infection. ~~~ Please keep in mind that while you can start out as a survivor, military, or a SWAT member of CyberTech, nobody cn start as a zombie or infected. And don't worry if your character dies; there will be a chance to become... something more. Edited by RTMX, Jun 12 2010, 10:48 PM.

| Alright, I changed the entire proposal, switching from one genre to another. I'm going for zombie-proposal. The previous one didn't go exactly like I planned, so I'm shifting gears. Added a temp name, because I don't know if I should stick with this one, or go with another name. If you have a suggestion to the name, add it. |

And for some extra shits n giggles, I might throw in Umbrella Corporation for us to use for target practice. XD This is an idea, and if you guys like it, I'll add in where they fit into the backstory. Added in more info, regarding mutations, infected, and some info about the virus itself. EDIT: Sorry for the double post |
