"Dude! I was just at the convenience store after school, buying a cream soda...I didn't expect the freakin' nasty guy outside to burst through the door and eat the cashier's face!"
-Leon, high school student, survivor

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

"Humanity has always had a fascination with the end...We've done everything we can to predict its coming, formulate its appearance, profess it...Tried to explain it through holy books and science journals, wacky imaginations and wild daydreams.

In a way, we knew it was coming. Lots of us didn't want to admit it, but it's hard to look at the shamblers lurching around us, eating their former brethren, and think it's all a dream.

The point is, it happened. And we have to move forward. We must, at all costs survive. When we lose the will to live, we lose the game.

Confusion in the streets and stench in the air. No one knows where they come from or why, but the dead have risen up within American cities, and are slowly covering the entire nation.


Zombie Types

Shambler -

"That guy...He's just sick, right? Can meds fix this? A hospital, maybe? He...He's not alive, is he?"
-Leon, kid who won't die

Slow, loud, and smelly. The most basic of all zombies, and the most easy to evade. Their arms possess titanic strength, and a single bite from one will infect a human with the zombie plague. They react to sound, making baiting and luring them easy. However, their attraction to sound reduces the effectiveness of firearms against them on stealth missions and supply runs.

Runner -

"Runners! Close the gates and arm the mines, now!"
-Napoleon Wildchief, self styled commander of a guarded compound

Placing enormous strain on their rotting muscles, "Runners" are able to move just as quickly as a normal human, while possessing the strength of a shambler. Its bite communicates the zombie plague, and it hunts by sound and smell. As a side effect to the strain on its leg muscles, however, Runners' legs are incredibly vulnerable.

Jumper -

"Yeah. We're fucked."
- Some dead guy, spotting a pack of jumpers in a warehouse

The most developed of all the zeds, the Jumper has mutated, powerful legs. This gives it the ability to leap through the air at incredible speeds and over unbelievable distances. It can easily clear the road from one sidewalk to the next in a single bound, as well as top an average-sized fence. Like the above, a single bite communicates the plague. However, unlike Shamblers and Runners, Jumpers are not very physically strong, and crumble against powerful attacks on its upper body.

-------------------------------------------------

This roleplay takes place in the fictional settlement of Den City, America. Take on the role of a survivor on the day of the strike. No one saw this shit coming, no one except for the video store clerks.

Character sheet is as follows:

Name:
Gender:
Age:
Occupation:
Skills: (Firearm training? Medical skills? Seductive? Good with construction?)
Personality : (If you want)
Short Bio : (If you want)
Fears : (If you want)
Quirks: (Fun stuff about your character.)
Inventory: (What do you have on you? What might be useful?)

Rules! Rules! Rules!

1. Average Advanced Forum rules of non god modding and no one liners apply.
2. By all means, romance! You probably won't repopulate the world before a zed gets you, though.
3. It's a motherfucking zombie apocalypse, so I expect you bastards to be spewing shit out your cock receptacles.
4. You've probably figured this out already, but it's possible for you to die.
5. My role isn't any more important than yours.

Really, that's it. Let's blow up some zombies! I'll smack down my character sheet...

Name : Leon Gray
Gender : Male

Personality : A hot blooded Otaku. There's little else to say, so far.
Short Bio : He'll have some treasures of the past in the IC.
Fears : It's kind of silly, but Leon always feared the world would end this way.

Of course, all of those are useless now, since he was caught with his pants down.

Quirks : The above would probably count as a quirk. Leon is very trusting, easily seduced, and absolutely hates ramen. He may have to eat it, though.

Inventory : $5.69 in his wallet, along with his school ID and a Borders card. A Nintendo DS with half of its battery charged, holding Elite Beat Agents and Riviera : The Promised Land. A bulky blue and white backpack holding a shitload of heavy textbooks, as well as a few Drizz't novels. One unopened bottle of Pepsi in the bag's drink holder. Two pencils and one pen with no ink. A silver wristwatch, and plain clothes of a red T-shirt with some japanese kanji on it and jeans.

Her father Seigei was a mercenary working in Japan when he meet Leona, it was actually a chance of meeting, she was sent to kill the platoon that he had been travelling with. When the two had fought they had fallen in love, Sergei left the mercenaries and joined RAVEN. The two became the perfect assassin team almost like Mr. and Mrs Smith, it was a few years into there relationship that Millia was born. At the time they where stationed in a RAVEN's facility deep in the Scottish mountains.

They knew that there child would be taken into RAVEN one way or another so they trained her.

Thought what they did not know that people that they assassinated would have a son, one that became the best of friends with there daughter. One that they would fight in the near future.

History:

Born on the 23rd if December in one of RAVEN facilities in the mountains of Scotland, her parents where two agents that worked for the RAVEN. Up until the age of four she had been living in a small town house situated in Edinburgh, when one night she was taken out of her bed and into a car in the middle of the night. From that night she had been travelling the world with her parents where she would go to school, but not any school, these schools where located inside umbrella lab facilities while her parents where out on missions during the day. Not really understand she never questioned the way in which she got taught.

When she was five her parents decided that when she was not at school and have no friends that they would train her in defending herself. For the next few years her parents put her though a gruelling training program, teaching her from the basics of hand to hand combat, to melee weapons to firearms. Yet while she was learning these she was still being moved across the world where she would marvel at the view from the private jet, the window from her room or from the car window. Her favourite time was when she was seven and she was visiting the south of France.

During her time in France she had been with her parents on a late night drive when the suddenly stopped, her mother got out the car while here father said that she was going to set some fireworks off. Excited she got out the car and her dad put her on top of the roof of the car, then after a few minutes she could see just over her line of sight a red glow. It was soon followed with a number of explosions that from her distance and view looked like fireworks low in the night sky.

For a long time after that night in France her parents moved to Kyoto, where they lived for a number of years. For the longest time she had stayed in one place she loved the country it was there that her father had a expert blacksmith make what would turn out to be Millia’s signature weapon, her Naginate. After spending that large sum on making the weapon he kept it as a present that he would give her in years to come. Picking up the Kyoto accent it completed what would soon be a stunning beauty mixed with that exotic accent.

At the age of eight her parents took her back to Scotland but instead of moving to there home in Edinburgh they moved to the City of Glasgow. Where she would spend the rest of her days till she was sent to a boarding school situated in a small town of America. When she was parting from her parents bother her mother and father gave her a gift, her mother handed her two swords of equal length, there black steel reflecting the suns light in a dull fashion. Then her father gave her the Naginate, unable to express her feelings for these weapons, they also slipped a note in her pocket.

That night when the sail she found the note and discovered the truth of her parents, unable think anything but hatred for them she vowed that the next time she met them that they would die for working with RAVEN. Every night since that night she had went out with he Naginate which she name it “Kiyohime” which meant Guardian. One night while she was out training she meet someone else who was training, his name was Dominic. From that night on she had been in love, a love to could not work because he was gay.

But she found that he was equally as skilled with his sword cane, as she was with her weapons, it was noted by others that the two where perfect partners and when it came to tournaments to see who the strongest group was they two would always come out top. But with that they gain a new position, one that granted them superior access to the schools Intranet.

When the police came that night they found Dominic hiding under his bed with his eyes streaming in tears.

After that he was moved to a stay with his aunt and uncle in the south of France, during his time there that his uncle had taught him the art of European Fencing. Since he was young he had plenty of time after going to school to learn, he would enjoy doing that till he was seven when he was moved back up to Scotland to once again live in that penthouse which his parents had died in, he did not know the reason that his Uncle and Aunt had carted him away that night but what he did remember was when he turned to look back on the countryside home was that their was a red light just beyond the horizon where his home was.

But before he left for the University a parcel had arrived from his aunt, it was a strange parcel, one rather long and cylindrical while the other was a box shape.

When he opened it he found a cane in one, which he soon discovered was not what it seemed, in fact it was a Sword Cane, while in the other was a gun, a Mauser C96 to be exact, there was a number of cartridges for the gun, there was also a state of the art Palmtop PC. When he turned it on there was an email that explained the true circumstances of his parents death, his uncles death and her own. It also told him that the University that he would be attending was under the direct control of RAVEN.
