The Walking Dead ~ Recruiting

[Cynadea]

BACKGROUND

A month ago, everything went to hell. Power, Water, Gas, nothing can be taken for granted anymore. The streets aren't safe, and the authorities are simply gone. Most of the people who were relied upon to protect the general population are either dead, walking, or scattered with no chain of command remaining. Throughout North America, there are people who managed to survive and there is a certain security in numbers... or it can be the downfall. There are so many questions without answers, but the main question that preoccupies everyone nowadays is “Will I live to see another day?”.

  History
  
  I would like to know who they were before, how they dealt with the contagion and what they've been doing since all infrastructure fell (about a month ago). This should serve as an example of what you can write as a post, so it should meet the game minimum. This would be a good way to justify the skills above.

  Moderate Pace (3/5 slots available)
  Although the game has been going on for a bit, the group is just at the stage of just meeting, and getting settled for their first night together. Fitting in will not have the feeling of trying to join a tight-knit group.
