28 Days Later/Resident Evil/Forbidden Siren Hybrid

[sinoraa]

Just to give you a little warning while playing your character:

The sniper rifle will be useless in this environment, considering that the base is filled with twisting corridors and has a claustrophobic feel to it.

Im well aware of that, but her training wasn't designed with that in mind. Im planning of having her switch weapon at some point, whenever the opportunity arises.

[Stan']

Alright.  Another two approved.

Oh, and Zillah.  You've put her name as Rose Shaw, but then called her Colleen in the background info.  Was that deliberate or just a mistake?

[Zillah]

Whoops.  ::) It was a mistake. I originally named her Colleen, but I decided I liked Rose better. It should be Rose, so I've gone back and edited my character post.

I think before a mission a special forces team member would select weapons appropiate to the mission, so the sniper rifle would probably be left behind, or a carbine with a scope chosen isntead (as sniper spotters do at all times, and sniper shooters do when they want something that is better for close up work)

[Dashenka]

I'm definately interested. Before I make a character that is both interesting for you and for me, I would like to know something.

The submarine sunk.. was it American or Soviet (Since it's the cold war I'd guess it's one of them) and was it an accident or a deliberate action from the opposing side?

[Stan']

It's an American submarine that was sunk by an unknown torpedo.  Whether it was a Soviet or another US vessel, it was all covered up.

[Dashenka]

Okay so just opting something here...

could I play a Soviet spy, infiltrating in the team?

[Stan']

You could, yes.  I was having thoughts last night that Soviets could be involved in one way or another.  Either a separate Soviet team has arrived before them ( and triggered the radio, hence why the US team is sent down ), or you could stick a Soviet in to the US team if you'd like.

[Dashenka]

How about a spy with the task to 'steal' or disable the nuclear reactor before the US can take it away.... Im infiltrated in your team..

[Stan']

The problem being that the nuclear reactor is so badly damaged, it can't be moved without further de-stabilizing the area.  The US aren't going to be taking it anywhere, and neither can the Russians/Soviets.  There could always be important documents/radio transmissions that s/he can be sent in to steal instead, however.

[Dashenka]

Or the Soviets have no idea about it and when she finds it unable to move, she goes for stealing plans and all?  Anyway we'll think of something... going to make up a character..

[LIAR]

I'll admit, I know very little about nuclear anythings. The mere mention brings visions of explosions to mind.

I'm fairly certain that under the circumstances, a spy would be unable to steal a nuclear reactor from an underwater base, stable or not. They were pretty large back in the day? And you'd have to take it from the sub (if not already moved) and thru the underwater base. And if it was still functioning it would likely be used as one of the power sources for the station making it difficult to want to disable. Underwater station made me think of something like this. Is that somewhere in the ballpark of your vision?

[elfguy]

Seems like technicalities tho, I mean the spy could simply be after a rod of enriched uranium, which would be much easier to steal.

[LIAR]

Out of a nuclear reactor? I don't think so. Not being combatitive, just kinda skeptical on the whole spy thing at its current state. I mean, we have Zombies down there now, and that doesn't just come because of a bit of radiation. The spy could know that something else was going on down there and thats why they were sent.

[Stan']

I'm not exactly a science geek myself.  I'm just playing this whole role-play out as if a nuclear submarine has been destroyed, an underwater base was constructed over it to act as a seal, and the whole thing has went pear-shaped.  A disaster has happened, radiation has swept over a good third of the base, and now zombies are running amok.  The area where the nuclear reactor is actually situated is almost completely out-of-bounds.  There's no way you can get near it, regardless if you're wearing a special suit that's half-a-foot thick.  Dominguez is down there to turn this thing off, and that's going to be very dangerous.

This thing is about zombies.  It's not about Cold War politics.  Characters are gonna get munched and chomped.  They're gonna turn.  People are going to die.  The picture is quite similar to what I'm thinking, just not-so-futuristic.  Think of a place where water leaks were covered with bits of spare metal welded on to the gap.  Areas are badly in need of repair.  Lights aren't working.  The power is failing because of the leak.

And to elfguy.  Why would the Soviets want a single rod of uranium?  This is a country that has countless nuclear warheads...

[elfguy]

It was just a suggestion, could be secret plans or something.

[Sanai]

Perhaps the soviets could want the capability to make zombies.

[Paladin]

I shall have a character done tomorrow.

Thats the plan ^^.

[Stan']

They don't know there's zombies there.  The zombies were created accidentally, through a combination of the radiation and the exact spot where the submarine crashed.  Which will slowly be revealed through the storyline.

[Kylar]

I know I look a little fresh, but on a scale of one to ten, I'd say I'm pretty far up there on the literacy skill. And this type of RP is just that. If it is all well, may I join? I'm certain I can pull something together if you still want that soviet in the band. I know a few good stories for that. :D

[Stan']

We already have one Soviet, we don't need more.

[Stan']

Intro post will be up in the next few days.  New players can join when they like, using the old excuse of bringing a background NPC in to the main character role.

P.S.

Has anyone watched John Carpenter's The Thing?  Or even played the game?
