UndertheWeather Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 This is NOT a kill-the-zombies RP. The premise is that there is a zombie breakout in a certain city. At first, the army was sent in to terminate the zombies, but was quickly drawn back following rumours of there being a serum that can reverse the zombie effect, suggesting that killing the zombies will be morally wrong. The city has thus been closed in to prevent the zombies from spreading further than the city, but as a consequence, the remaining survivors are trapped inside the city with the zombies. Politicians continue to argue outside the city as no conclusive evidence has been found with regards to the rumoured serum, and the survivors continue to fend for themselves within the city; some succumbed to the depressive situation and turn into one of them, while others held onto whatever fragments of hope they have. This is a Survivor RP. I am flexible with any ideas but here are some boundaries for this particular RP: 1. This is a sci-fi RP in so far as it involves zombies. Everything else is based on real life. Firearms and ammos, swords and spears, and all other weapons are not widely available, and they are not sold in convenient stores, so you can't ransack convenient stores for weapons. In a nutshell, be realistic. 2. You are not allowed to be a scientist who is involved in the reversal serum production, or anything else to do with it. No one knows if it is true or not, and I would not like to open up the topic of how the zombies came about to be, or work, etc. It'll remain a mystery throughout the story. 3. You can write a situation involving zombies, but please do not bite other people's characters unless agreed upon (because they'll turn into zombies once infected). 4. Don't God-Mod 5. Please have a decent command of English. I'm not the best, but you need to be comprehensible. 6. Oh, and no one liners please. At least 2 paragraphs. I think that's all folks. So let's just have fun. We can do the crazy-kill-everything-you-see in another RP. But for now, I'm sticking to this And yea, post your character sheet if you're interested. - You can add in whatever into your character sheet, but do have a description of what they are pre-post-apocalypse, and that kind of stuff. Also, the characters will all be from different walks of life. (Thanks Blue for all these suggestions!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.lueeyes Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 FINALLY. Something like this that is realistic. There are so many that are so unrealistic, and I can most definitely get behind this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b.lueeyes Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Sounds awesome! Do you have a character profile you would like us to follow, or do you just want us to make our own? OR, do you want us to write something of a pre-post, describing our character and basically who they would be- like something pre-apocalypse? That would be cool...

UndertheWeather Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 I don't really have a profile sheet that you have to fill up. I'm pretty free with however you would like it to be, but now that you mention it, yea I think a pre-post-apocalypse description will be great. I'll edit that into the first post lol Thanks!

b.lueeyes Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think our characters should just be people from different walks of life trying to survive, y'know? That way it can be more realistic. My character is probably going to seam a bit dull, lol XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukemextreme Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 well, true. i've been thinking that my character would be borderline neurotic, though i might withdraw on this character idea because i think i might be inconsistent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UndertheWeather Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hmmmmm yea different walks of life sounds like a good idea . I was thinking of a guy who's just recently got fired from his job. Blue, I think dull's fine lol I'm not into abused children. Ukeme, hmmm yea, neuroticism might be hard to keep up with, take your time to think about what you'll be comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UndertheWeather Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Okay here goes. Let me know if you guys prefer some other way: Keith S. Egan 28 year-old Keith was made redundant by his employer for a below-average performance. Unfortunately for him – that is, on top of being made redundant – he moved to the city just a month before the breakout. The move was not by choice; he had reluctantly taken up the offer of living at his cousin’s until he could find a job and pay his own rent. It was not that he disliked his cousin – he really liked him for that matter – it was that he could not bear to live with the embarrassment of being dependent on someone else given his age. Job as a meteorologist was scarce in the city, and so he had opted to apply for whatever job he could get his hands on. So, two weeks into the month since his redundancy, he had landed himself a job with a local school as a Geography teacher. And two weeks into his job, he lost it; the zombies had seized it right out of his hands, and left him once again unemployed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqueezeBabe Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I like it your way better than a character sheet - but i still dislike character sheets Ok, here's my thingy - let me know if my character is too much or something, but Mr Babe has expressed an interest in helping me as he likes the zombie survivor games like DayZ and whatnot.

ukemextreme Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 character sheet up (though i'm not sure if this is realistic enough or if this one is really a character sheet lol orz): [TABLE=class: grid, width: 600, align: center] [TR] [TD=width:300] [/TD] [TD] Andro Davidson 24-year old Andro Davidson is a not-so fresh grad trainee of an advertising firm whose specialty is Digital Arts and making people feel uncomfortable with his bluntness and bad jokes. He looks nice because, yeah, he is nice but when he's dead serious, his eyes look like he'd want to rip your throat out if you make one wrong move. Andro had lived in the outskirts of the city -- about 3-5 miles from the last subway station -- and would have always wanted to if not for his chosen career path. He moved into his own loft upon receiving his acceptance note as a trainee. However, Andro resigned shortly after the media publicized news of an outbreak. He had planned to keep himself locked up until his supplies would be scarce but his building had been infested with zombies just three days into his plan. It was not due to his quick-witted nature that he had killed a zombie before running down the fire exit; Andro panicked and charged at the zombie with his wire cutter, cutting through the zombie's jugular and decaying head.
