The Story:
---
Black Orchard, North Carolina - August 12th, 20XX a.d.
It was a normal day in the not-so-distant future. All was well up until a few days ago. It started off with few missing persons cases. Standard protocol was used: Search teams were assembled, checkpoints were made, and all seemed to be going well. Then, one of the local search parties went missing. Most of them were found dead by local authorities, cause of death unknown.

The next day, a sudden influx of people with bite marks were admitted to hospitals and emergency rooms, then reported dead hours later. It was blamed on rabies. An acute, deadly, yet undiscovered strand of the rabies virus. All but the most skeptic were satisfied with this explanation. A handful of people claimed it was media suppression; that there was something much larger behind these unexplained events. They were ignored, but they couldn't have been closer to the truth.

Then suddenly, everything stopped. The missing persons cases, the rabid emergency room patients... All traces of anything suspicious just disappeared from the air. Had the authorities succeeded in stopping this new disease, or had they completely lost control...? Sadly, and horrifyingly, the latter of these proved to be true. No one was sure why. Did they think maybe if they ignored it, it would just go away? Or did they simply think that the absence of media would prevent another outbreak: one of mass hysteria and paranoia...?

Whatever their intentions, whatever their motives, an outbreak was inevitable. One that few would escape from, or live to tell about...

I've been planning this RP for quite some time now. As this is my first time GMing anything, I only hope that you guys'll take it easy on me. I might be accepting a co-GM. Although I'm a little wary of this concept, If you guys take to the story well enough, I'm game.

I'm afraid that this RP is going to deviate a little from most of the RPs on this forum. In those RPs, your character is allowed to have superpowers. You know, shooting lasers from your eyes, manipulating shadows, even being invulnerable to certain things. For this RP, that just can't happen. It's out.

*a thousand gasps of horror*

No, seriously. For this RP to work anything like I want it to, your character can't have inhuman superpowers. You know how much of a threat a zombie would be to, say, superman? He mashes those things brains out by the dozens! Plus, here's the flipside: If you had superpowers, and you got zombified... You know how much of a threat you would be? Not just to your fellow RPers, but the zombie hoard as well!

So, in place of superpowers, you'll have to make do with your character's history. Ex-military, Techno-wizard, lame nerd who just knows his way around zombies, etc. Be creative! In the face of a zombie outbreak, your best weapon is YOU!

Speaking of technology, remember that the story is set in relatively recent times. Keep the it basic by today's standards. You can get a little frilly, but DON'T OVERDO IT. It might not matter for too long, anyway.

So, now that I've stripped away all of your fun, and all your characters of their power, I give you the opportunity to join up. All you gotta do is post your character, bio and all, and wait for me to make revisions/accept it. Actually, I won't make any revisions. Sometimes it's easy to get carried away, but in those cases, I'll only make suggestions that would help your character fit in better with the storyline.

Also, as you may have gathered by now, this story centers around our group of characters, residing in the fictional city of Black Orchard, NC. (Not that I have anything against North Carolinians, you guys just happened to be there. No hard feelings? ) They don't have to be from there originally, just as long as they're from somewhere on earth. That gives us a little to work with there, doesn't it?

In closing, I leave you with this bit of advice:
[See attachment]

If you have any questions about the zombies, just ask. I'm using a kinda' custom model, but if you're familiar with "them" from HotD, you'll have a pretty close idea.

Here's my character. Be as detailed/undetailed as you wish, but try to give your character a blood type. I have something in mind for later in the story that might rely on this.


Name: Alex "Snafu" Whittmore

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 145 lbs

Build: Slim, tall, slightly athletic.

Blood Type: AB

Hair: Short, medium brown

Eyes: Green

Clothing: Loose fitting deep purple t-shirt with text "P|-|33R T3|-| 1337" in fluorescent green stencil lettering on chest, Blue jeans. Black and gray tennis shoes.

Personality: Shy and quiet unless provoked, has violent tendencies, good natured, bit of a neat-freak/OCD.

Personal Abilities: Good with computers, fast runner, slow yet very accurate with most projectiles, expert knowledge of zombies.

Background: Alex has been around computers for most of his life; so he knows his way around them pretty well. He uses the internet alias "Snafu" as an inside joke on his uncanny ability to screw up delicate situations. This nickname has spilled over into real life recently, but is only used on a regular basis by close friends. He took an interest in zombies several years ago, and has studied them relentlessly ever since.

This... looks friggin' awesome. I will be back with a character.

Also, I'm a North Carolinian myself.

I've been planning this RP for quite some time now. As this is my first time GMing anything, I only hope that you guys'll take it easy on me. I might be accepting a co-GM. Although I'm a little wary of this concept, If you guys take to the story well enough, I'm game.

Given that he is currently lord of the undead and Co-GM of nations and states, I could recommend Kali... but I'm not sure if he wants to GM another RP ... but either way, you ought to tell him about this, it sounds right up his alley (he's pro-zombie of course )...

i shall post a charecter after work tonight. Sounds like alot of fun.

I appreciate your recommendation. I'll consider talking to Kaligraphic, and I'll definitely recommend this to him, but I had a different idea in mind. Rather than approach someone who I've barely talked to with this, I'd prefer to wait until the RP has started and approach the player who seems to understand the story and basics of the RP the best.

That is, IF I decide to take on a co-GM.

Thanks anyway.

You can only guess where I got the idea for my character.

Hmmm Evil Dead I think, Right?

Will it's not as bad as Ace Maaka(Basicly means EPIC FAIL if you want to know)

I'm not sure how many of you noticed my little wikipedia link which explained the whole blood type thing I'm going for. Some of you may have seen it, as is apparent in your character's profile, but others may need their attention drawn to it. (I didn't put the link in the most obvious of places... )Here you go, guys:

About Blood Types:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_blood_type_theory

Like I said, this may have some impact on your character in the RP.

Alright! CromsonRyu17 will not be joining us for the start of the RP. ;_; She has said for us to go ahead, and she'll join us (hopefully) when stuff settles down for her. I'll look forward that.

Anyway, I'll go ahead and take this opportunity to approve everyone who's posted their character so far. So:
jmaster9000
Kung_Fu_Master
GrubbTheFragger
Doubleshadow
Erin_Artist06
For_Him
Consider yourselves approved and ready to begin! That's a grand total of 7 people, counting myself of course.

If anyone else wants to join, now's the time. I'll pm-a-mod tomorrow, and we can get this thing started. I hope you guys are looking forward to this as much as I am!

I'll save this and perhaps come back with a character(s). ^_^

Oooooh, this sounds really fun ^^May I join ^^?

Name: Yukino Shinomura (first last name that came to mind )

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Height: 5'5

Weight: 100lbs ^__^

Build: Slim/Skinny

Blood Type: O?

Hair: Long light blue (like a sky blue I guess o.o?)

Eyes: Sapphire Blue ^^

Clothing: Grrrrrr, you would think this part would be easy for me, because I'm a girl >_< Let's see.... something like this http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d146/diaochandb/dw3a.jpg

but light blue ^__^ Oh yeah, and I want those arm/sleeve thingies like Yuna's from FF ^^
Personality: Very fun loving, but can be very serious at times. She's very protective and tends to wear her heart on her sleeve ^^ She's a bit on the naive side, but that's ok

Personal Abilities: Is able to control water.. kinda ^^ Still new at it ^^

Background: She has amnesia ^^ The only thing she remembers is her name, and she gets memory flashes every now and then

If there's anything wrong with that Ridely.. don't hesitate to let me know ^^

I really like that character, Tsuku-chan! Unfortunately, it goes a little out-of-universe, and there are a few things that need to change for it to fit. ;_; I hate having to make you change it, but as I mentioned in my opening post:

"...For this RP to work anything like I want it to, your character can't have inhuman superpowers. You know how much of a threat a zombie would be to, say, superman? He mashes those things brains out by the dozens! Plus, here's the flipside: If you had superpowers, and you got zombified... You know how much of a threat you would be? Not just to your fellow RPers, but the zombie hoard as well!

So, in place of superpowers, you'll have to make do with your character's history. Ex-military, Techno-wizard, lame nerd who just knows his way around zombies, etc. Be creative! In the face of a zombie outbreak, your best weapon is YOU!..."

"...Also, as you may have gathered by now, this story centers around our group of characters, residing in the fictional city of Black Orchard, NC. [...] They don't have to be from there originally, just as long as they're from somewhere on earth. That gives us a little to work with there, doesn't it?..."

Basically, try to make her a little more normal. The water powers are just, well... They kinda go out of universe. You could, however, have one of her abilities be that she's a good swimmer, and other normal-ish abilities associated with water. Excellent idea, though! All it needs is a little tweaking. ^^;;

The whole Japanese immigrant with amnesia thing will work well. Don't need to change that unless you want to. ^_^ Oh, and I must say, I like the clothes.

Also, you seemed to be a little in the dark about the blood type. I'll re-reference the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_blood_type_theory
See the little red chart on the right hand side of the page? It's a little thing that matches up personality types with the blood type you choose. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! ^_^

*sigh* Delays, delays. I'm leaving for a week tomorrow. It seems I won't be able to get this thing going until I get back. >_< The opening post is ready, if a little long. Please look forward to it! ^_^;;

o.o ...and we're back! >.< Triple Post.

Let's go ahead and get this thing started.

As I said:
jmaster9000
Kung_Fu_Master
GrubbTheFragger
Doubleshadow
Erin_Artist06, and
For_Him
are accepted into the RP and will be receiving a PM with the topic link in it soon.

Unfortunately, until Tsukuyomi makes some changes to her character, I can't accept her. ;_; Please fix it soon,Tsu-chan!

Oh, could I please create a character? I don't know if you're still taking characters, Ridley, but I'd like to join if at all possible!

This is my character...

Name: Timothy Kira (prefers to be called Timothy; hates it when people call him Tim)

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Blood Type: AB

Height: 5' 8"

Build: He's very skinny and almost seems under-nourished. I'm not quite sure what his weight would be, though. He looks younger than he is.

Hair: Black/Short, untidy

Eyes: Brown

Skin color: Asian-American

Outfit: Timothy wears a light blue collared, buttoned shirt that's never tucked in to his pants. His pants are tan khaki pants with several pockets. In the pockets are a pocket PC, a replacement pair of glasses, and his old solar-powered calculator from grade school that he carries around for nostalgic value. He wears white and gray tennis shoes. He always wears glasses.

Personality: Cool and collected; rational; to the point. He's cold to most people, as he sees as inferior to his intellect. He looks down on others and doesn't like any ideas that he doesn't come up with. He's always willing to give his two cents.

Personal Abilities: Incredibly smart. He's a whiz at math and science. He knows his way around computers fairly well. He's also very logical and can solve most conundrums that come his way. He was on the archery team in high school and knows his way around a bow and arrow, though he doubts this skill will pay off in real life.

Background: Timothy is actually from South Carolina, but he moved to Black Orchard in order to attend the nearby university. He entered college at age seventeen and is currently in his third year. He is Japanese-American; his grandparents on his father's side were immigrants from Japan, while his mother was American. He actually has a slight family complex and has trouble going the day without calling home or sending an e-mail to his parents.

Now, I don't know if I matched the blood type correctly with the personality (I did refer to the Wiki page you posted.) I couldn't find any of the blood types that really screamed "big, rotten jerk," which is basically what this character is. So, I guess AB will have to do. Hopefully.

Ah, Mister Frodo! Of course you can join!

Approved

And I'll take the opportunity to restate this statement:

REGISTRATION IS STILL WIDE OPEN AND WILL STAY SUCH UNTIL THE RP IS OVER!!!

How are we keeping track of time so we can maintain continuity? Will you tell us when the hour changes? How many post per day?

Hmm... I was going to go by the approximate length of time it took for the events to unfold. Does that help any? At the current point in the story, I'd say it's about 9:00.

Edit: Now that I've thought about it for a minute, why not just post a little OoC comment asking what time it is whenever you need it? I can have Alex check his watch for you!

No insult meant in my latest post! Much love fellas. XD
