The Walking Dead: UK (interest thread)

[gimme danger]

Yes you are, this game doesn't really have a character limit and so far only three official characters submitted so please come join in.

Cool! Well, I have ideas for two of them, a male and a female, but can't actually wrap my head around which one I'd prefer: a nurse or a small-time drug dealer from East London?  ;D

Drug dealer's my vote.

[Madam Striga]

I was considering going down the housewife route myself x:

[azzmeister89]

Both sound good..... on the one hand a nurse would be really good for the group but on the other hand a drug dealer would make for some good drama especially if one or two of the others were to think maybe this is all being caused by drugs in the first place.

[azzmeister89]

I'm also enjoying the house wife idea..... considering the changes we see in Carol in TWD, she could be an interesting character.

I was slightly inspired by that aha

Someone like him, maybe?


Name: Tommy "Deacon" Wallace
Gender: Male
Age: 48
Sexuality: Straight
Where were you when it started: Tommy was a small-time drug dealer in the East End, even though his criminal record also mentioned armed robbery among other minor offences. A glorified thug with a thing for young girls, he was the kind of guy you would better not piss off. When things went down, he was in Brixton for some delivery with his associate, Bruce Baxter. Never made it back to London, though, as the first weeks turned out to be pure mayhem. He and Bruce headed south, but it didn't take much before they both realized the world as they knew it was gone. Since then, Bruce died and Tommy's been travelling around the outskirts of the city, scavenging and living off whatever he could find.
Useful skills: 1. Definitely not the kind of guy who'd shit his pants.
2. He knows his way around blades and small guns, and really wished he had one.
3. Probably cannot even spell the word 'empathy'. It's something useful when you're out there.
Shortcomings: 1. His lack of empathy also means he cannot easily win other people's trust.
2. His temper: his impulsivity might get him in some trouble.
3. Definitely not the fastest guy around. Plus, he's a smoker.
Ons (sexual and not): Younger partners, rough sex and his cigarettes. He likes hard rock, too.
Offs (sexual and not): When people try to contradict him.
Additional information: Tommy was born in Ireland and has a rather thick accent. He served time (2 years and a half) for armed robbery.

Is this going to be system game ?

[azzmeister89]

No, there won't be any systems involved, players will just have to be smart and keep them out of situations where they will die.

[azzmeister89]

Love Deacon, he definitely works perfectly.

[Szandor]

Yo, I like this so I'm gonna drop an application in ;D
I can tweak whatever you think needs work, just let me know!

Calvin Baker

Name: Calvin Baker
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Sexuality: Bi (male preference)
Where were you when it started: Calvin was in his mothers two story apartment while she was at work, rummaging through her things to find etra money to make up for his rent, when the world ended. He had been fired a month before, and was at his wit's end. Being young and impulsive, he decided to stage a home invasion on his very own mother and steal her money to pay rent. This backfired when he found an undead man in her backyard. He ended up running from the house. His first kill was just down the street, where he grabbed a nearby cricket bat and beat an undead's head in to get to his car.
Useful skills: 1. Calvin is good with bats and other melee weapons
2. Small appetite; Calvin doesn't need a whole lot of food to get through the day
3. Non-Violent to humans; Calvin prefers to get along with the people he can team up with, not fight with them
4. Lightweight; due to his short stature and thin frame, Calvin is both fast and easy to carry and lift up to high places
Shortcomimgs: 1. No bulk; Calvin never hit the gym very often, so he doesn't have a surplus of muscle on his frame
2. Addicted to sweets and sugary drinks
3. Carries unnecessary things
4. Uncomfortable around guns
Ons (sexual and not): Sugar, Affection, Neck-kisses,
Offs (sexual and not): Workaholics, Undead, Rough Play
Additional information: Calvin still acts like a teenager, despite having not been one for several years. He can be bratty, and prefers to be alone if the group he is with are 'less fun and more work.'

[tobisquestion]

Name: Ryan Bidgood
Gender: Male
Age: 36
Sexuality: Straight, unless it’s a group thing, then he’s more flexible
Where were you when it started: On board the HMS Queen Elizabeth, the UK’s new aircraft carrier. Ryan was a naval contractor specialising in construction. It was just after the carrier left Portsmouth for the USA to be loaded up with aircraft, that Ryan was on his way back up to head office in London when he found the situation had...changed. He was on the very last train to run from Portsmouth to London and has been cursing his missed chance to get off the mainland ever since.
Useful skills: Knowledge of construction and improvised fabrication. A skilled foreman and critical thinker.
Shortcomimgs: Not one to suffer fools gladly, nor one to offer an encouraging word. He tells it like he sees it.
Ons (sexual and not): - Edgy and alternative women
Tattoos
Self-deprecative humour
American Whiskey
Offs (sexual and not): - Leather and latex
People with strong convictions
The Daily Mail
Additional information: Ryan is of the firm believe that engaging in combat with the Walkers is a reckless risk and should be undertaken only when absolutely necessary. He believes that digging in and having the best bunker is the way to survive this apocalypse.

Looks good, welcome to the game

Is there still space? If so:

Name: Lizzy Sybelle
Gender: Female
Age: 28
sexuality: Bi-sexual
Where were you when it started: Born to a working class family, where little work was done and small time crime was more generally practiced, Lizzy was set for a career of growing up on the streets. She grew up not exactly fighting for survival but more for the personal gain, eventually bending what shady funds from a protection racket she had run into her own private business: A tattoo shop. Lizzy was in the aforementioned shop, inking up some of her return customers, when it happened. Her tattoo shop had always been known as a place of ill repute, frequented by street gang members and motorcycle clubs. At the moment of outbreak a significant number of the latter had been present in her shop. The first few undead to stumble in had been quickly dispatched by the small close combat arms carried by these men.

Quickly Lizzy had shoved as much equipment and things she could carry from her shop into her bag. Joining  up with the motorcycle gang they quickly found the downside to their mode of transportation, the loud engines attracted biters from far and wide, which closed in as soon as they stopped. A second battle ensued between the biters and the motorcycle gang, which left the few who survived without their steel horses and most of their supplies. Thus, in the middle of the night, when it was her turn to stand watch Lizzy gathered up as much supplies as she could and silently slipped away in the night.

Useful skills:

-Excessive violence.
-Okay with bullying and torture to get her way from other groups who prove to be uncooperative.
-Streetsmarts.
-Great with a stiletto blade.
-Great tattoo artist.

Shortcomings:

-Will bully weaker members of a group to get her way.
-Mainly understands violence as a way of establishing hierarchy.
-Is often described as crazy and unstable.

Ons (sexual and not):

-Violence, both inflicting and receiving.
-Torture, inflicting and receiving.
-Booze and Smoking
-Rock music
-Art (yes, why else would she open a tattoo shop?)

Offs (sexual and not):

-Scat, toiletplay.
-Group weakness, members who do not pull their weight.
-Indecisiveness

Additional information: Though slightly disturbed and a mostly unpleasant character, Lizzy could be an important part of the group’s muscle.

Welcome aboard, feel free to jump right in

[azzmeister89]

Ok so unfortunately my interest in this game has plummeted, mostly down to the fact that having caught up with fear the walking dead (finally) I've become pretty disapointed with the show.

That being said I still want you guys to enjoy the game so feel free to pick out a new GM and continue on. I hope you all have fun.

[avarus]

I'm sorry to hear that  but if you're not feeling it you're not feeling it :P

So what'd we do people? Make a thread in the players looking for GM board or is someone from the group willing to take over?
