'Sangre Negro' Zombie Apocalypse game.(LGBT Friendly) Still Recruiting.

[DarkAngel111]

Sangre Negro (Black Blood)
A post Apocalyptic Story.

Welcome to one and all. If you are here you must know that this is a Zombie Apocalypse game however our zombies will not all be slow shambling corpses which means players and their characters will have to be aware and alert at all times. The game will not be based on any systems and will remain free form with a lot of GM led side quests and distractions. The only thing based on numbers will be the level of skill your Characters have which I will explain in detail later in this post.

The Scenario

The virus was reportedly an experiment being carried out in the arctic lab. From samples found over a 1000 meters under the ice. It was meant to be a cure all for all the diseases there were. Scientists had named the two strains Nordak A and Nordak B. However after many successful trials on animals when the cure was tested on human subjects the Alien organisms altered the human DNA making them aggressive. Patient zero was killed on the side by security and the virus was kept in a storage unit. This was Nordak A. The decision to work on the different strain came afterwards. However the work was slow and more cautious than before. The scientists figured out that the cold weather of around -60 c Slowed the virus down to a stand still. This however was only possible when in conditions of arctic. So they worked safely with the virus without any incidents.

2 years after the experiments begin a sample of Nordak A was stolen (the deadlier of the two). The idea was to sell it in the black market for a biological warfare however. When the virus was exposed to the humid conditions in the coastal area it spread like wildfire. It was discovered then what the virus was truly capable of. Within a few days the  countries were trying to cut routes in and out of Puerto Rico in an effort to contain the disease however things were much harder than that. Within 6 months the disease was global.

It has been over a year since the disease went Global. The infrastructure is lost. Those countries that still have any semblance of order left are dealing with their own problems and have cut off ties to the outside world. The world has become a very different place now.

The Infected

1.) The virus spreads through contact, although not simply by touching a corpse. The main career is the black blood that's always oozing out of the infected. The black blood is highly dangerous and if it enters your mouth eyes or any open woulds its most likely that you will turn into one of the infected.
2.) The Virus was referred as 'Sangre Negro' which is Spanish for Black blood. The name was given by the News Channels. However the official name for the virus is Nordak A. However the official name is something that no one knows about. Most people have assumed that this was a random occurrence.
3.) When you die, you do not turn. Unless you were infected and roped your self.
4.) There are two very distinct kinds of infected. Those who have been infected in the last 24 hours are aggressive and fast. They can run as fast as any human without tiring. However to kill them you do not need a head shot a couple of fatal shots to the chest would do the trick. The other kind are slow and shambling. Those who were turned over 24 hours ago. They are brainless and pretty much dumb. However to kill these you need a head shot. There are official names for the two kinds however they are a mystery to the general populace. Those who have turned less than 24 hours ago are also intelligent, they know how to climb fences or break down doors/glasses. However they are not as aware as a human is of their surroundings which can be used against them. Think of them as pack hunters. Nothing more.
5.) It takes up to 24 hours for one to turn. Whether it be bite, a blood infusion directly (through the mouth/eyes) or through a wound. The common symptoms are headaches, nausea, Hallucinations, red marks on the side of your face.
6.) The cure is being worked on somewhere in the arctic. When or if it even arrives is a question no one can answer. Most people have no idea that there is even a cure being worked on.
7.) They are drawn to noise. And Sight. Not to smell. Firing a gun in a hot zone is a death sentence, as the aggressive ones will hunt you down in a matter of seconds. In most cases guns are not even an option. As the faster infected are able to tear down doors especially if they are in a group.

Game Rules:Non-Negotiable.

- Follow all Elliquiy Rules.
- Characters cannot be Perfect little people who never do any harm. Make it realistic with weaknesses and shady grey types. They are fun!
- God-Modding is impolite and not allowed in this game.
- All characters should be originals and should be made according to the details provided in the Sheet template.
- Real life is important and this only a hobby. Everyone knows that. However Discuss before hand with your partners what your posting frequency is. For the game in general the Minimum period is a week. If for any reason you cannot keep up and want your character to be faded away. Tie up loose ends in a post and let us know, we will keep your character in a secret zombie proof bunker till you return. If however we do not hear from you for two weeks or more. We may stash him/her in a closet and padlock it...
- If there is a problem please use PMs to resolve them instead of OOC thread. If any of the party feels like it they should include the GM in the PMs. Hopefully we can be adults and resolve the problems our selves, if not GM's word will be final.

About the Game.

The game will be focused on survival more than anything else. Unlike most apocalypse games with zombies, there cannot be a party inside the camp and staying in the woods in a open camp lined with tin cans as a alarm system is not an option either the infected can and will run over any camp of humans which is not within walls. The game will start outside a major city, in a smaller connected town. Even a year after things started the City is not fully in silence. Gunshots can be heard and explosives are heard as well, therefore most of the infected have left the smaller towns.

The game will be starting in a small town. Players maybe in groups or they may be by themselves. The town is quite small so think if a few people were to come out to scavenge, they would surely run across each other, what we do with those interactions is up to us. There are still enough dead in the town but not as many as there are in the city. The bad part is, the town has been picked clean. Survivors have to scavenge further and further away to get supplies.

Sheet Template

Rules

- All Images must be real. Anime/cartoons/drawings/sketches are not allowed simply for the sake of consistency.
- Each player may have up to two characters to start with.
- Sex of the player or Character does not matter. This game is open for all genders/sexual orientations/Ethnicity.
- Characters Minimum age should be within E rules!
- Make your characters as to what you like, If it means we end up with two people who are good at the same thing? Well a little rivalry makes things interesting.
- Connections between characters are allowed and encouraged. After all there is nothing quite like surviving the pandemic with your best mate by your side.
- Characters are at the end of it all subject to approval. In games like these things get lopsided quite easily. The best way to fight any situation is with a bunch of people who are clueless to their situation. Makes the experience more....realistic.

Stats: These will in now way be used for any kind of system, they are essentially to gauge how good your character is at a particular skill. However, there are a few details that you need to know. There are a maximum of 50 points available. Each stat can get 10 points max 10 points means the skill is world class. Only one skill may be assigned a level of 10, 9, or 8. If you assign 10 points to any of the skill set you need to have a good explanation of how they got so good at the said skill.

Stat of 1 is considered to be below average. Almost non-existent, all stats must be at a minimum of two. Otherwise they would not have survived the situation they are in. So lets just be reasonable.

-Raises hand!-

[DarkAngel111]

hopefully a slightly different take on the virus may bring more interest than in the past! :)

If anyone has any questions about the game poke me in PM or here.

[Amarlo]

Hm... Instead of having two characters may I have one and a small handful of npcs? One would likely be a soon to die elderly man, and two younglings?

[DarkAngel111]

Depends on your characters, the age of the younger characters would also be a factor. :)

[Amarlo]

I was thinking the young ones would be 5 and 9... npcs and not at all meant for any sexual scenes. The 5 year old being my character's newly orphaned nephew and the 9 years old being a neighbor girl of the nephew - also newly orphaned.

[DarkAngel111]

I think for the sake of comfort of all players we can keep those ages out.
Characters that young may make some people uncomfortable. 

Work on your main character. As more people join we can have a vote on the matter if people are comfortable with it or not. If they are allowed they would barely be in the picture mind you, and it would be quite hard to manage such young NPC characters.

[Amarlo]

That was part of the fun, but alright. Understandable.

[DarkAngel111]

Thank you :)

[Juggtacular]

I think my character may be similar to what I've had in past post-apoc games, but this time he's gonna have this constant need to gripe about the fact that even if it's only for a short while, how fucking unfair it is that the bastards can run and shit. Like life isn't bad enough, now we have to deal with super zombies.

[DarkAngel111]

I trust in your ability to keep things fair Jugg :P
as for runners, Technically they are not zombies yet, they are still human, just a bit too contagious.

[Juggtacular]

I trust in your ability to keep things fair Jugg :P
as for runners, Technically they are not zombies yet, they are still human, just a bit too contagious.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, and like always if he comes off as too much I'll happily edit him down.

As for the runners, I get what you mean. He just likes complaining in a somewhat joking manner because it makes things easier on him. If he can joke about it, he can almost ignore the heart stopping fear that shoots through his body every time he sees one. Because as pack hunters, one can easily turn into two, into four, and so on. Also it's a bit of a confidence boost to know you took out this monster that can run for hours with no rest and hunt you down like a dog if he gets track of you.

[DarkAngel111]

Haha well the good thing about the runners is that they can be taken out with shots to the body.

But them being pack hunters they flank their opponents. So everyone has to be on the alert.

[Amarlo]

Reminds me of a Zoey elevator moment from l4d. xD

[GnothiSeauton]

*plants my interested flag*

I'll see what I can come up with in terms of a character.

[DarkAngel111]

If someone has played dying light... then you can probably see first hand what the runners would be like ;)

Character Name:Jeremiah Clarke

Player Name:Darkangel111

Age:32

Sex:Male

Orientation:Heterosexual

Former Occupation:Field doctor at CDC.

Physical Features:  at 6'1 Jeremiah is tall and quite well built for a CDC doctor, which can be chalked down to his lineage, at 175lbs he was lean and muscular, however his job didn't allow him to grow to the hulk sizes of his brothers. The only distinctive mark on him is a scar around the back from a accidental cut he got on one of the many field trips he takes for work.

Stats:
Intelligence: 9
Speed:  5
Agility: 5
Stamina:  5
Shooting:  7
Strength:  7
Dexterity:  7
Sneaking:  5

Personality:  He has a very strong work ethic and has always been more helpful. It was what drove him to his profession he helps anyone he can.

Strengths:
-Has been in many tricky situations and knows how to avoid them.
-He is a Field Doctor.
-Has knowledge of diseases and Precautions to take as well as identifying symptoms.
-Decent Shot.
-Knows his medicine, and emergency procedures.

Weaknesses:
-Years in the academic field he no longer has the stamina he once had.
-He is not the quietest. As he is not use to of tip toeing.
-Not the strongest He keeps fit but isn't exactly a world class athlete.
-He is not the quickest although he is quick with his hands he isn't that good at dodging objects or bullets.
-Has a hard time adjusting to a world without infrastructure, as most of his work relied on gadgets.

Background:  Jeremiah Clarke or Clarke, as he preferred to be called was born and raised in Texas, while not exactly a die hard redneck he still had his some similar habits and tastes as his family who were trigger happy ranchers. Living further away from the city as possible. They didn't believe in education or anything else for that matter. Clarke was one to break the mold and went to college on his own. He was gifted and worked to his medical degree and then a PhD. However there were somethings that he carried with him even though he didn't follow the family traditions. He believed firmly in being armed. And he was a little trigger happy himself.

It wasn't long before he joined doctors without borders and soon found himself getting a offer from CDCs field office as he had done research on various diseases world wide. He accepted readily. However his work didn't exactly allow him any gun time which made him a bit rusty when it came to accuracy. However he has full knowledge of common weapons he used back home and the glock 17 he owns. He carries the gun whenever on field assignments without the knowledge of his team mostly because he feels vulnerable without his gun. In his own mind he always explained it as protection for them as well as himself.

When the Outbreak happened Jeremiah was in the city center working on collecting samples from the infected at various stages to send them back to the lab. One moment it seemed like just another disease that made people a little aggressive the other moment he saw people trying to rip their families' throats out. The military at the spot tried to contain the situation however their orders were not to shoot and so they tried riot gear and tear gas which did not effect the infected at all. Jeremiah Escaped with a few of his team mates. And soon realized that they were no longer safe in a city with a population that big.

The Poem

"Four Gods wait on the windowsill
Where once eight Gods did war and will
And if the Gods themselves may die
What does that say for you and I?

Now, three Gods wait on the windowsill
Where one God's blood was lately spilled
While black tongues lap at the spreading pool
And build the strength they need to rule

When two Gods wait on the windowsill
The wick of the world is burning, still
But when one God in triumph shouts
The candle of the world goes out

And when that candle, bare and white
Sheds at last its dancing light
Then we will rouse, with raiséd rod
To pierce the very house of God"

Background: 
Maybe you heard it before, perhaps on the news amongst all the other henious tragedies fed out by the media or maybe one of your friends brought it up? However it reached your ears to be filed away in your mind with the rest of those tedious facts that would do you no good in life didn't matter, but you had heard about it. It happened oh... about 13-15 years ago. You know, the old cliche? Problem child, frequent runnaway teenaged daughter doesn't like the rules required to live under her parents roof. Problem child runs away and is brought back by the cops several times. There are even rumors that this problem child had gotten in with the wrong crowd - talks of drug rings and underaged prostitution are being thrown all over the place. That's not the kicker, though. Just little things to show just how truly mentally unsound this youth was before she finally snapped and brutally murdered both her mother and father. It was all over the news after all, right? Sure, for about 3 months before it seemed to just disappear beneath the next life-time drama brought to reality. No one cared much about the story after justice was seemingly served with the girl pleading guilty and taking a 15 year sentence in a bargain.

Fast forward about 13 years later, finally this girl is released on good behavior - no longer a child at all but a full grown woman raised amongst the penal system. She struggles from job to job, struggles with the 'normal' human social order and eventually ends up living with her little sister and infant nephew - who's 'baby daddy' decided raising a kid and paying for the kid was to hard. Ms. Hernandez's sister seems remarkably forgiving of the one that killed their parents, she even has no problem letting said aunt baby sit the adorable little guy. That was until one of those pesky neighbors remembered this black marked woman for the monster she'd been and worried for what she'd become. DCF was called in and to avoid the obvious drama with little actual aid, 'Aunt Squishy' was forced to move out and minimize her time alone with little Jan Hernandez. It was the more palatable of options in the end.

A year or so later all hell breaks loose - people are dying left and right while others are hunting you down and trying to eat you like some vore-lover's wet dream! Maybe that neighbor was right, maybe DCF knew what they were doing all along because low and behold, from the ashes of humanity rises a disheveled pair - Aunt Emelina and little Jan 'Solo', alone and with none else of what little family they had to be seen or heard from.

[Twisted iN Tux]

Character Name: Sean Grady
Player Name: Twisted iN Tux
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Orientation: Homosexual
Former Occupation: Freelance Carpenter
Physical Features:  6’3”, 235lbs., Blonde-Brown Hair & Blue Eyes
Additional Images: One, Two, Three, Four, Five & Six
Stats:
Intelligence: 4
Speed: 5
Agility: 6
Stamina: 7
Shooting: 6
Strength: 9
Dexterity: 7
Sneaking: 6

Personality: Overly friendly and far too chatty, Sean often speaks and acts before he thinks, which isn’t hard for a guy who is not the brightest bulb in the box. He has a great sense of humor, even in dark times such as these, and he is most certainly a hopeless optimist, thinking the best of both situations and people. That said, do not, I repeat, do not threaten him or his twin brother, for he will not hesitate to rip your head off and shit down your neck.

Strengths: Built to last, Sean is both strong and durable, able to lift twice his body weight, as well as push himself for hours on end. A talented craftsman, he can build almost anything out of nothing. He’s like the MacGyver of his time, which often surprises those around him, seeing that he’s a bit of a dolt. His unyielding love and commitment to his brother is rather impressive, especially since his twin tends to treat him like absolute crap.

Weaknesses: Food. Don’t get between him and it. Granted, with it being less and less bountiful, it’s becoming a growing concern with the young man who is starting to show signs of malnutrition. As previously mentioned, Sean’s twin is yet another delicate subject, for the guy would offer, without hesitation, his own life to save that of his twin’s. Lastly, Sean cannot resist flirting with any attractive man that crosses his path, regardless of their orientation, all in the hope of getting some action.
   
Background: Born nearly a day after his twin, it would appear that Sean would continue to not only be a burden to his parents - in particular, his mother - but he would spend most of his adolescent life attempting to play catch-up to his far more talented and successful brother.

Deciding, early on, that Sean would be better suited for some sort of menial labor or trade work - seeing that he struggled in any subject matter that required him to use his mind more than his body - the young man's parents set him on a course to achieve just that and nothing more. Removing him from school at a very young age, his parents decided that homeschooling would be a much better route for a child with his mental capacity, or lack there of. Under their watchful eye, they could teach him the basic skills he would need to survive on his own, but spare him the torture of constantly failing ever-so-miserably in school, not to mention, relentlessly being bullied and referred to as 'Lucas' lame-brained little brother.'

Sean, on the other hand, constantly strove to be something more, wanting to prove everyone wrong. Even with his limited comprehension of what was going on around him, he knew that he had been given the short end of the stick by dear old mom and dad. While they had meant well - something he failed to see at the time - in his mind, they had made the snap decision to write him off as the lesser son, placing Lucas on that proverbial pedestal, which, it seemed, would be built by their bumbling boy with half a brain. However, the wants of the adolescent would soon take a back seat to the growing desires of a pubescent who would be forced to come to terms with his own sexuality.

Now not only mentally challenged, but gay as the day is long, Sean decided to just give in and play the part of the disappointment everyone had already deemed him to be. So while his brother went off to do amazing things, in amazing places, with equally amazing people, the 'younger' twin proceeded to fall right in line with the low expectations that had been set for him. He managed to get himself a job as an apprentice carpenter that, in turn, afforded him the ability to buy his own studio apartment, which he spent many an hour in, when not working, playing video games, working out, or simply fooling around with the latest boy-toy he had met online.

Nothing more, nothing less.

However, when the shit hit the fan and the world around him began to fall apart, it would be Sean who would take matters into his own hands, coming, rather reluctantly, to the rescue of his parents, as well as his dear brother, whom he had stopped loathing at some point and decided to love as only a twin sibling could. He had seen enough movies and played enough games to know exactly what to do when the zombie apocalypse came crashing down around them. So after packing up his utility truck with the necessary provisions, he proceeded to gather up those who still meant something to him - including his current piece of ass - and made his way for the hills.

Regretfully, a year later, all that would remain would be he, his brother, and a mere handful of supplies.

[Twisted iN Tux]

Character Name: Lucas Grady
Player Name: Twisted iN Tux
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Orientation: Bisexual
Former Occupation: Computer Programmer & Developer
Physical Features: 6’3”, 185lbs., Blonde-Brown Hair & Blue Eyes
Additional Images: One, Two, Three, Four, Five & Six 
Stats:
Intelligence: 8
Speed: 6
Agility: 7
Stamina: 5
Shooting:  7
Strength: 6
Dexterity: 6
Sneaking: 5

Personality: Some would consider Lucas to be a stick in the mud – all work and no play – while others simply see him for the asshole he actually is. Often focused more on the future, he tends to ignore the here and now as he’s plotting his next move. It’s rare when he cracks a joke – or a smile for that matter – and even more rare to catch him with his guard down. That said, he does have a soft side, but only when it comes to his brother, which he tends to keep well hidden behind relentless teasing of the young man.

Strengths: Highly intelligent, Lucas is actually surprisingly street-smart for a guy who appears to be far more bookish on the surface. He’s a fairly good shot, too, but unlike his twin, who learned most of what he knows from video games, Lucas has actually fired a real gun, thanks to his father. He is also trained in mixed martial arts, which was more or less mandated by his old man, who had hoped that at least one of his sons would’ve followed in his footsteps as an officer of the law.

Weaknesses: Simply put, shiny things. Lucas is still very much a child of his generation, wanting and needing new things whenever possible, even when it is quite obvious that the acquisition of material goods is very much a thing of the past. Lucas also has feelings for his brother that he is finding hard to keep at bay; therefore, he often treats the twin like shit, all in an effort to keep such temptations in check. Furthermore, Lucas, like his twin, can be a bit of a relentless flirt once he has his sights set on someone, yet unlike his twin, it can often come across as a bit creepy.

Background: Considered the golden child from the start, Lucas came into the world as was expected of him - on time and without any complications - and he continued to be an unwavering blessing to his parents, for all the days to come, up until the very moment he had to put a bullet in both of their infected brains. Granted, even then, he had done them one last favor.

Ridiculously talented in so many ways, there wasn't much that could hold the young boy back, save his doltish twin brother, who, thankfully, was removed from his immediate vicinity and kept at a safe distance early on in his educational career. Able to continue along this rich and rewarding path, all on his own, Lucas quickly rose to the top of his class, as well as, in time, safely secured his spot among the social elite. Therefore, by the time he reached college, he had already made quite a name for himself among those in his chosen field of computer programming and software development. It wasn't long before he was being offered a prestigious position at an award-winning company, which would, in turn, grant him the luxurious lifestyle he had always spoken about.

However, no matter how smart or successful Lucas was, there was very little in the known world that could prepare him for the coming apocalypse, for unlike his brother, he rarely watched those 'juvenile horror movies' and - regardless of his career choice - was not one to 'waste time on mindless video games.' So when his twin showed up with their parents in tow - along with some muscle-bound meathead of a boyfriend - Lucas did what was expected of him.

He got his ass in the truck.

Then, six months later, on a particularly dreary day, he got his ass out of said truck, with his father's gun in hand, and blew away the two people who loved him the most.

Character Name: Ezra Bell

Personality: Ezra isn't holding out hope that the world is going to 'get fixed' within his lifetime, he's not going to see a world without Sangre Negro. With life being what it is, it doesn't mean he can't try to make the best of it. He's living day by day, trying to find fun, excitement, and levity where he can. It's an obvious enough coping mechanism, but it's working for him so far.
Strengths:
- Mechanical Aptitude: With the right tools, Ezra can fix anything. With the wrong tools, well, he can get it working for a little while...
- Scrapper: Ezra has been in just enough fights to not freeze up with the opportunity arises. He doesn't have any formal training, but he can swing a wrench enough to get through the apocalypse.
- Chef:  Ezra was going to culinary school before it all went down. He didn't get very far, so it's unlikely he'd be able to make some fine french cuisine even if he had the materials -- but he can do more with a stale spice rack and beans than most people.
Weaknesses:
- Gun Shy: Ezra didn't have much experience with guns, and after the world ended, guns had even more stigma attached to them for the noise they make. He gets tense around open gun fire, though it's more likely to cause a irrational action than inaction.
- The End is Nigh: Ezra firmly believes that 'this is it', this is what the world is. He can be a bit of a buzzkill when the topic of 'rescue' or 'repair' come up. While he's not the type to wallow in his sadness, he is prone to making either rash decisions. His appreciation for a world without civilization is growing every day...
Background:

Collapsed Background

- Ezra was born in Balatan, Minnesota, the oldest and only boy of two children. Ezra's father was the third generation of auto mechanics in their family, and from an early age Ezra was 'groomed' towards an appreciation for machines. All of their games and bonding moments were in the garage or on the road going to car shows. He didn't grow up in a very 'progressive' area, and the field of auto mechanics didn't lend itself very well to Ezra's sexual orientation. Even so, his pride in the work kept him in the closet, still intending to take over the family business one day.

- Balatan was a small enough town that people knew his family. His teachers had an expectation what to expect from the next mechanic in town, but Ezra broke those expectations by doing very well in school. Well meaning teachers as he grew up tried to show him other options, to tell him that he didn't just have to do what his father wanted him to do. They did little to dissuade him, until the rumors of his homosexuality came up, and gave those teachers even more fodder for how he could look out further than Balatan. When he was nineteen, his Father confronted him on those same rumors. The fight that followed ended with Ezra making some lofty claims about choosing his own path, and some rather nasty comments about the trade he was turning his back on.

- Ezra regretted the way that night ended, even if the he didn't regret the decision he had made. He moved out to Saint Paul, which while still in Minnesota, was a much more urban and enlightened area than he was used to. He ended up deciding he wanted to go to culinary school after binge watching food network. He got a job as a bartender, allowing him to work nights and take classes in the day. The outbreak started eighteen months after he started culinary school, and three months after he decided that this wasn't the right path for him.

- Now with civilization fallen, Ezra is constantly finding that being a mechanic is much more useful than being a barely trained chef. The world probably feels like 'Hell on Earth' for most people, but for Ezra, he's constantly reminded of the choice he made for himself, and all the regret that comes with it. If he hadn't left home, he'd know if his family was safe, and he'd have been there to help them. Plus, for all he learned growing up, he could have learned more, and that one thing he didn't learn by leaving home might be what he needs to stay alive...

So now we need a couple of female players.

[Twisted iN Tux]

So now we need a couple of female players.

Aww. Come now. We have the perfect formula! I mean, four guys and a single gal sounds good to me. It works wonders on the Big Bang Theory. Doesn't it? *shifty eyes*

Oh. Alright. You're right. We need more lovely ladies around here. Even BBT came to realize such things. *runs off to recruit*

[Twisted iN Tux]

Btw, I'd be willing to demote Lucas to the status of NPC - controlled by the GM - or have him remain a PC - taken on by another player - to allow room for a new character, which would be female. Or. I'd even be willing to take on a 3rd character, if allowed. Just saying.

Also. Random thought here. We could make the fact that there are so few women around an actual part of the storyline. Perhaps the zombies prefer the flesh of females or perhaps females are far more susceptible to the virus. Amarlo even mentions that her character dresses like a guy - which I'm assuming was to protect her from being raped and such - but it could actually be to protect her from the zombie hordes. *shrugs*

Just thinking outside of the box a bit.

[DarkAngel111]

I am actually expecting a couple of people to put up characters soon. Although we do need at least 2-3 more characters to start. So we have a good base. Otherwise the game will fall in limbo is someone takes a hiatus.


As for the lack of women it could be jotted down to the fact that quite a few men like *taking* women in situations like these so it is natural for there to be less of them around for fear of strangers or the fact that they were killed/raped etc.

[Twisted iN Tux]

I am actually expecting a couple of people to put up characters soon. 

Cool. I may have someone looking to join, too!

[Amarlo]

I personally think that we still need both men and women. Two male players and one female player doesn't exactly strike me as horribly uneven xD

Especially when one male is more interested in other males and the female is likewise only interested in other males.. So. I'd say we are in deep need of more men in reality. =P

[DarkAngel111]

actually we have 3 male characters. Two from Tux one from lockpicke. One from me. Annd only one female character. From you ;)

[Amarlo]

Oh wuut, I completely derped!  I guess they were posted so close to one another that my brain turned it into one player, two characters. I need to wake up before reading things

[Twisted iN Tux]

I suddenly feel like I'm in that scene from Clue when they're trying to figure out how many bullets are left in the gun. *grins*

[Tydorei]

*lurks in the shadows*

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Well, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring!

Trainer Attire

Character Name:Cassiopeia Lochland

Player Name: CarnageIncarnate

Age: 22

Sex: Female

Orientation: Bi-sexual

Former Occupation: Veterinary Assistant and Dog Trainer

Physical Features:  5’9” 132 lbs long blonde hair and brown eyes. Cass has a tattoo across her chest ‘Veni Vidi Vici’ and a scar on her thigh where she got mauled by a bobcat when she was six for trying to pet it.

Stats:
Intelligence: 7
Speed:  7
Agility: 9
Stamina:  7
Shooting: 4
Strength: 6
Dexterity:  7
Sneaking: 3

Personality:Cass is a nice girl, well in the normal days she was a nice girl. Though she kept to herself feeling a little out of place among most of the population. Cass does not respond well to threats. Though not in an angry well. She gets confused laughs at those threatening her.

Strengths:
Knowledge of Animals
Can run for long periods of time without tiring
Rudimentary medical knowledge from vet school
Has a vast array of camping and outdoor knowledge

Weaknesses:
Not silent by any means as it’s not wise to sneak up on dogs
Understands animals better than people
Though she’s a decent shot, for having no training, Cass has no idea how to clean/maintain a weapon
A little too trusting
Allergic to peanuts

Background:
The only daughter of a veterinarian and an orthodontist two things were predominant in Cass’s early life. Dental health and animals. From a young age Cass found herself in her Father’s vet clinic. Whether it be sweeping up hair or shampooing the dogs, Cass immersed herself in animals, all the while having her teeth straightened meticulously. Growing up, Cass found herself a bit of a pariah. People didn’t understand her, somewhat due to her lisp, mostly because of her love for animals and her inability to understand the reason why people made the decisions they made.

As a teenager Cass made good grades, tearfully staring at the lonely B on her report card surrounded by A’s. High School, unlike puberty, hadn’t been kind to the girl. Withdrawn she attended the nearest University her Father could afford. Following in her Father’s footsteps she began classes to become a Vet. Though, after two years in college, when a dog had to be euthanized Cass knew she wouldn’t be able to continue as a Vet. Instead she opted to becoming a dog trainer instead.

Becoming extremely good at her job Cass found herself training four dogs at a time. Each time with more successful results. By the end of her second year Cass was passing every dog enrolled in her obedience class and had sent off three to join the police force, after the completed the protection class she offered. With her own dog each more Cass woke up, ran five miles, and did multiple obstacle courses throughout the day with the dog’s she trained.

When the shit hit the fan Cass had been sitting at home, having just returned from an evening run. Everything seemed to happen at once, Cass didn’t remember much except making the half mile run to her neighbors house after watching her parents tear into her dog Lilah, eating the dog while she was still alive. The images still haunt the girl. Unfortunately the only reason she survived was because of her neighbors, their deaths slowed down her parents allowing Cass to run away, back to her house giving her time to grab her keys. Though as she went into the fray Cass found the car to be a worse idea and she did the only thing she could think of, grabbed the backpack out of the trunk and left it music blaring hoping to get as far away without any of the things noticing her.

Starting Gear: 
Black Backpack
Athletic Tape
Tactical Flashflight
Aluminum Baseball Bat
Storm-poof Matches
Dog Whistle
Aluminum Water Bottle
A pistol she picked up from the neighbors after it all happened, what caliber she is unsure (.357)

Character Ons/Offs:  Same as Players

[DarkAngel111]

Carnage. PM me your sheet :)

And Its nice to see all the new faces! Hopefully you will all decide to join us. :)

[DarkAngel111]

NOTE: We are not longer accepting characters with Medical fields. That excludes Carnage's Veterinary And Jugg's *yet to be posted* medic.

[DarkAngel111]

The OOC thread will be up soon as well as Accepted Characters Thread. I am still hoping to get a couple of sheets. But if I don't get drafts from those I am waiting, I will be kicking us off in two days. :)

[Amarlo]

I think I might turn in one more sheet at some point for a purely plot helper character.

[Twisted iN Tux]

The OOC thread will be up soon as well as Accepted Characters Thread. I am still hoping to get a couple of sheets. But if I don't get drafts from those I am waiting, I will be kicking us off in two days. :)

Hooray for two days!

[GnothiSeauton]

Still planning on doing a female character here...

Sorry for the delay...

I've been buried lately with my own groups, and haven't had a chance to breathe.  Finally got a CS out for another group that I had been promising, and this one is next on my priority list.

[DarkAngel111]

guys OOC AND Character threads are up! IC Present, and Flash backs will be up and running by the end of tomorrow I hope I need to figure out a header for those and some starting posts to set the scene. But Expect our game to be started completely by the coming week.

[DarkAngel111]

IC present have been Added, the intro has been posted and the Game has officially Started.


We are however still looking for more players, Keep in mind however that we are full on Doctors. And Military Personal are not allowed.

[Amarlo]

-Sneaks in a request for another hetero-male or two-

I second this sneaky motion.

[DarkAngel111]

For those of you thinking  Why I haven't posted with my other character. I have been fever ridden for past 2 days and my brother gave me a right scare the same day telling me docs think he has TB. Which thankfully he doesn't so that's one load off my mind. Soon I will be back to posting.

And yes we do need Hetero Males!

[Torterrable]

Glad your brother doesn't have TB, DarkAngel!

Debating making a character sheet. It's been a long time since I did group stuff.

[Amarlo]

Glad to see you're doing better, Dark!

@ Torterrable - I hope you join us :D The more the merrier! If you come up with a character just shoot him at Dark!

[Torterrable]

I'll have to see how I'm feeling about it in the morning. It's late at night and I'm in that "can-do anything exhausted" mood. A gander through the character sheets suggests a lot of character types are covered, but I was debating doing a college student/teacher's assistant type for a chemistry class, vaguely Breaking Bad-esque but not really.

Teacher's assistant, eh? Sounds very useful!

[DarkAngel111]

We need more male characters! Thats rare I know but do know that we need a character who is normal not military type.
For Female character we may accept a police officer. Just make sure that the characters are well rounded! :)

[Tytus]

Just dropping my name in as interested.

[DarkAngel111]

I am just going to do a Role Call here to see who is still with us, since the game has been unactive for a couple of weeks.
Also we are looking for new players.

[Amarlo]

I am still here, just waiting loyally!

[AmbrosiaPudding]

I'm still here too.

[Tytus]

I am still interested, just checking the posted information again.

Character would be male, if you are still taking new members.

[DarkAngel111]

The thing is that we had the game going for a few days before some people left. And that resulted in leaving groups stranded.
(We were also short on straight males) I have two characters. So feel free to get one started, I will contact Lithium as well. Tytus give it a couple of days, I don't want you working on a sheet if we don't manage to gather enough interest :(

[Tytus]

Would you need someone to take on one of the abandoned characters?

[DarkAngel111]

The thing is we have 4active characters in game so far. Feel free to make a sheet for your character.

As for filling in I think its best if we just GM those characters out of the game.

[Amarlo]

Seeing as we barely even started the game last time around perhaps we should start up a whole new game with a new IC, OOC and Approved character thread. Reopen recruitment in full storm as well.

[DarkAngel111]

well that is true we had maybe 20 posts in that thread, so we can start new so no one has to cut off any loose ends. :)

Also for anyone looking to join a zombie game we are open to new players both male and female.

[Tytus]

I am still interested in joining. Adding a male character. How many members do you have? how many are male? how many are female?

[DarkAngel111]

i have two male characters in the game, there are 2 that amarlo has (female) and one other from carnage.
so yours would be the third male character, Although I can keep one of mine at bay to keep things in a balance.

[Amarlo]

We definitely need more men. .. And women. We need more everything. :P

[DarkAngel111]

Yeah I had a possible but it player but it didn't work out seems I have terrible luck with group games.

[Holmes]

Having just binge watched The Walking Dead/ finished The Last of Us, I feel this RP is right for me  ;D
I heard you guys needed another male anyway:

Character Name: Joel Limen
Player Name: Holmes
Age: 27
Sex: male
Orientation: straight
Former Occupation: student/ survival instructor
Physical Features:
Height: 6'3
Weight: 245
Hair: Brown
Eyes: hazel
Special Features: Joel is very physically fit, as a result of years of working outdoors/in the gym. He also has multiple scars on his forearms from a car accident when he was younger.
Stats:
Intelligence: 7
Speed: 6
Agility: 6
Stamina:7
Shooting:5 
Strength: 7
Dexterity: 5
Sneaking: 7
Personality: Joel is a very nice person, thanks to his parents. Though usually quite, he has very strong opinions on most things and will voice them from time to time. He is definetely not "leadership material" but can give orders if need be.
Strengths:
Extremely skilled and well practiced in outdoor survival/hunting techniques
Above average physical fitness
Moderate primitive first aid training (he can set a splint in two minutes, but knows nothing about any kind of surgery)
Weaknesses: 
He has no knowledge of the zombie outbreak, so he has no idea how to fight the zombies and will be too trusting of other humans. In addition, he has never shot a gun in is life (though he is quite skilled with a bow).
Background: Joel grew up as a normal suburban American kid. He got decent grades in school, played on the football team in high school, and got into a decent state university. When he was 19, he got into a major car accident coming home from a party. No one was seriously hurt, but he did gain multiple scars on his arms as a result. He went to college to study business like his father had, but found that his true passion was being in the outdoors. He would go camping in the state parks near his university whenever he could, but still felt like he spent too much time surrounded by civilization. He wanted to drop out of college, but his parents would not allow him to. So, he finished his degree in business and started up a small wilderness survival instruction business. It flopped almost immediately. Out of money, Joel's father offered him a job at the family resurant. Joel didn't want to take the job, but saw that it was his only chance. He felt lie a failure, knowing that he hadn't been able to make his dream job come true. However, he still felt the burning call of the wild. He compromised, telling his father that he would work for him in one year. He didn't plan on spending the year partying or traveling, instead he packed one bag full of survival gear and struck out into the wilderness of the rocky mountains.
He lost track of time and returned a year and a half later to find the world had gone to hell.
Starting Gear: 
Plain Grey T-shirt
Blue Jeans
Hiking boots + socks
hand made bow
8 stone tipped, hand made arrows
External frame hiking pack including:
tarp
100 ft of parachord
hatchet
spade
water purification pump
Magnesium block + fire striker
three changes of clothes
five pairs of socks
two water bottles
10 ft of string
small first aid kit
light weight, water proof coat + pants
GPS and hand held radio (both dead)
Character Ons/Offs:  Link in sig



So I made his background kinda unconventional on purpose. My plan is that he'll nearly die coming back into town, and run into the current group while being chased. He won't know anything about what's going on in terms of the outbreak or how it started. This makes me dropping into the RP a few months late a little easier since I'll have no idea whats going on either  ;D

I have to admit I love the character and how you have made sure it would enter in the game. Although let me tell you we plan on starting over, that is why we are waiting. The first attempt failed due to people leaving but this time I hope to wait till we have dedicated players like amarlo and carnage before we go forward, so it doesn't crash.

I'm okay to do a restart, he can still wander back into civilization having no idea what's going on. I'll keep checking back on this thread for updates.

[Tytus]

Are you still looking for writers?

[Amarlo]

I don't know if he is or not. I know about a month ago we were looking to do a reboot of the game with more dedicated players.


Regardless, I'm still around :)

[DarkAngel111]

we are looking for writers but I am thinking we need at least 4-5 players. Active. and they need to start in a tight place if we are to keep the game going if everyone starts out on their own well then we might need at least 10 players.

[Joel]

I'd be down for this. 

I'm thinking of making an early game villain if that would interest you.  He'd have a small crew, but collectively the new team of good guy survivors would totally kick the villains' asses because team work and heart, yo.  At which point, I think my character could be killed or he could end up joining the other players' characters.

[Tytus]

I see no one has posted in OOC in several days, is this site dead or still active? If so are you looking to add writers? Looking for a home.

[DarkAngel111]

Mostly because I have been a bit stressed with real life things I have not been around the site much, However We are still lacking players and I can't seem to find anyone willing to write. Other than 3-4 players already here.

[Tytus]

if you are still looking for writers count me in

[DarkAngel111]

Will be making a new recruitment shortly for this game. Hopefully that will win us some responses.

[DarkAngel111]

Since we only have 4 players. I am thinking about changing things around a little I will be working on editing the game a bit on world building thread, So I guess for now this thread is closed. I will have a new Thread up with some changes in a few days :)

[Amarlo]

Cool!!

[DarkAngel111]

Those of you looking for updates, you can take a look at the Game Information thread, its being edited slowly. The place where this game started off has now changed to middle of the large city. More action, and more danger :)
I will be making careful edits so no one has to change their sheets too much. :)

Question,
Group starts off in a building, what should it be?
A.) Apartments/Highrise?
B.) Shopping Mall?.
C.) Parking lot?.
D.) Abandoned Construction site?.

A. Apartment/High Rises.. perhaps the rooftops? Or are we talking the overall place being open. I'm guessing most of our group will start off not knowing each other and possibly just meeting up there by coincidence or something?

Most of the group will be formed. Can say newly formed. The have just found this building. The problem will be that the building will be surrounded by the infected. So for a day or two (in game) the players will be confined to the building, finding ways to escape.

Also if its a highrise there is doubt that the other players may find the group in that building ;)
since logic dictates be on the top floor.

For all those who are still interested in this game, We have a reboot thread up. Feel free to take a look there are only minor Changes. We are starting in a larger city now, and the group is within a mall.
