    Alone Together [OOC]; A Post-Apocalyptic RP

    ALONE TOGETHER RP TOPIC

    BRIEF PLOT/STORY
    As the world once thrived with over seven billion people across the globe, that number has drastically dropped to a mere twenty-five million people worldwide. The world as we once knew it now lies in shambles and everywhere you go, every city looks the same. They are run-down and broken, looking more like ruins than the magnificent metropolises they once were. Moss, shrubs, dirt, and dust gather all over the cities, states, countries, and continents of the world.

    As one of the last few survivors of the world, you are trying to survive and to be able to live and prosper. Trying to find a new way of life is hard, especially with the savages living throughout the land too. The reasoning behind the drastic drop in the population is that people have died off due to a sickness. It came as a vaccine that was meant to help turn the sick into the healthy, but instead it was turning the sick even sicker, and soon enough they died and withered away. There are some of the people who have not been infected with the sickness, but some have become crazed and dangerous with no real government and policies in tact they rage across cities causing chaos and havoc. They have destroyed homes, groups of people trying to thrive so they could live strongly on their own. Those bandits rage throughout the world doing whatever they want, living as they please.

    It has been four years since the first sign of the virus, life has changed in such a short amount of time. How will you act in this world? How far will you go to keep on living?


    You can ALWAYS add more if you'd like.

    Code:
    BASIC CHARACTER SHEET
    
    NAME: (Simple as it is, state your characters name. First, last, middle if you want. Whatever works, just nothing too wild and crazy.)
    AGE: (Can be whatever you want, just don't go too young because it would be hard to explain how you survived so long.)
    OCCUPATION: (What you did before the infection spread, it will help get to know where your character might be now in our group.)
    
    APPEARANCE: (How your character looks. You can use a picture or a description if you'd like. It's up to you.)
    
    PERSONALITY: (A brief description of how your character acts and/or thinks.)
    
    HISTORY: (Who they were before hand, how they got into the group.)



    NAME: Abraham Carmine
    NICKNAME: Abram or Abe
    AGE: 26
    OCCUPATION: Med Student/Office Assistant

    APPEARANCE: Abram is five-ten with a defined, muscle-toned body. He was an athlete all through high-school and through his undergrad years in college. It wasn't until he started graduate school that he stopped playing sports. Abe has a head full of golden-brown hair, which is long and boyish. His hair stands in front, with a cow-lick being the main focal point for his hair.
    The med student also has a pair of sharp, cool grey-blue eyes and a chiseled jawline. He is still a handsome looking man, even for being deprived of first-world luxuries.

    PERSONALITY: Abram is a sweet, kindhearted man. He's gentle to a fault, even though he's got such a big strong physique. He has a strong sense of just and is extremely supportive and trustworthy, a genuinely good, dependable friend. The downfall of Abe is that even though he believes in his friends so highly he lacks confidence in himself. He doubts everything he does and is very wishy-washy, wanting to be a more defined and confident leader.

    HISTORY: Before the infection Abe was your typical jock turned doctor. He followed the path his father laid before him and went on playing sports and entering medical school. The young man was going to be a doctor, a dream his father had set in stone for the both of them. Abram obediently followed, never questioning or diverting from the path. It wasn't until the infection that Abram felt lost. He couldn't save his family from the sickness, so what good was he as a doctor?
    With his family gone, especially his father, the med student had no path to follow. He was on his own, and he did whatever he could to live. Traveling, leaving his hometown, he left to find another life or rather to live life. On the road he met a few stragglers just like him. They were kind, some strange, but kind nonetheless. They were unlike the other humans who turned into savages that plagued the world.

    NAME: Dallas Landon Bryce
    NICKNAME: Sarge, Cowboy
    AGE: 34
    OCCUPATION: Sergeant in the U.S Marines, instructor at Cape Pendleton, a history teacher once he finished his service.
    APPEARANCE: Dallas is a modest man in structure, standing at 5'10", though he has a very fit build due to his time in the Marines and his constant exercise. His hair is a deep brown, almost black, cut neatly into a crewcut style that he has grown so accustomed to. He also has a full goatee, letting it grow out after his deployments. He has a series of small scars on his right cheek from a fragmentation grenade, but otherwise has no other visible scars. His skin is tanned fairly well from his time overseas, complementing his dark brown eyes. At first glance, though not particularly large, he is a stern man. He usually wears a navy blue vest over a black sweater, blue, worn jeans and running sneakers, suggesting he is often outside and on the move.

    PERSONALITY: Dallas has a deep found loyalty to those who he can trust in, due to his service. He'll go out of his way for those individuals, and is absolutely against leaving anyone behind despite the risks. Because of this however he may also be seen as clingy, not wanting to lose those around him. And perhaps he is, his combat experience certainly left some emotional scars. He can be restless at times, and is prone to acts of violence when threatened. He needs the company of others to deal with these issues, and since the "Event" because he no longer has his therapy, more than ever. At his best he can be a strong leader, reliable friend and his experience and knack for tactics make defusing the nastiest of situations simple. At his worst he is rash, reckless and unpredictable. He is almost like a coin, two sides that can flip at any time.

    HISTORY: Dallas was born in Bridgeport, California to the son of a Marine. His father, a lifetime serviceman, was killed in combat in the first Gulf War, making life difficult for Dallas and his mother. During highschool, after his father's death, he was in and out of trouble, near ending up in prison before being offered the choice of joining the service. He was reluctant at first, not wanting a part of the group that took his father from him, but eventually he agreed and enlisted, joining in time for the Invasion of Iraq. His determination and aptitude for strategy lead him to promotion quickly, and before retirement he achieved the rank of Sergeant, being disharged for his questionable mental health. Being left out of the military he pursued a teaching degree, history in particular, and within a few years found himself teaching. Up until the apocalypse he had been a high school teacher, now the recent events have brought out his training again.

    NAME: Donny Yang
    AGE: 25
    OCCUPATION: Electrical Engineer, Shipping Factory Manual Laborer, Amateur Mechanic Artist

    APPEARANCE: Donny is round around the waist, and from appearance, doesn't seem all to physically imposing. But he does what he can to eat well, and underneath the fat hides a decent amount of muscle, more then what it would seem he should be capable of. He keeps himself clean, but he's grown out his beard and hair, which is black and somewhat oily. He usually ties his hair into a pony-tail whenever he's working, but otherwise he lets it hang down. His eyes are are a dull green, like a dusty green glass. Overall, he looks like a chubby Asian man who could use a shave. Could be mistaken as a Mexican to those who don't examine him closely. He's about five feet three inches, weighs in at about 210lb.

    PERSONALITY: Donny is a jaded and cynical young man, who takes whatever opportunities he can or wants, and usually leaves nothing to share. Not to say that he's a totally bad person; he is capable of being nice and generous if he feels like it, but the moment he left college, he left behind his dreams and had to fight for survival. He's pragmatic and isn't afraid to do some rather nasty things if it can get him out alive, and tires not to feel to guilty afterwards. But sometimes he lets his excuses cover up the fact that some of the things he does really are bad, no matter how much he tries to justify it.

    HISTORY: Donny was like any other Asian growing up with Asian parents; lots of pressure to achieve a high-paying job as a doctor, engineer, lawyer, etc. Granted, Donny did achieve a bit of their hopes, but it was mostly out of self-interest; he liked machinery and their workings, and the pressure from his parents only made him feel like he needed to hide his interest, lest they start making his hobby into something he would no longer enjoy. Growing up, he spent most of his time in a workshop trying to figure out mechanics and usually failing, while also sometimes going into different fields of science and dabbling in them. But as he grew older as an adult, he soon began to realize that, for all his interest ins mechanics and things like robots, they were all a fleeting dream that he could only get with a silver spoon and a silver tongue, neither which he had. This made him give up one his dreams and damaged his creativity, as he pursued a mundane but more likely job of grunt labor, and eventually managed to settle down to become an Electrical Technician (I.e. Repairman) at a shipping factory.

    When the infect came and in people started dying off or just becoming insane, Donny himself was tempted to join in the chaos. But before he would fall into that darkness, he tried to find his family, to assure their safety. Then he discovered the horrible truth; most of his family succumbed to the illness, and those who didn't became marauders. Donny didn't see a reason to join them anymore, and just drifted around. He would sometimes steal food, and at the worst times, kill people in self-defense or to take their supplies. At first this horrified him, but soon it became routine and just another part of life for him. He eventually found and joined up with a group of able-bodied survivors, hoping to stick with them for safety and the slight hope that maybe, just maybe, Donny could make something in his life he could be proud of.

    -Name-
    Frank Baines

    -Age-
    27

    -Occupation-
    Engineer

    -Appearance-
    Frank is a weedy 5'9, not as tall or prominent as some of the others he has always been castigated because of his weak appearance. However he is handsome and holds a strong jaw line often covered in stubble. His hair is a dark brown and his eyes a similar amber colour.

    -Personality-
    Frank is quite a hard person to get along with, convinced that anyone and everyone has it out for him he has taken to fending for himself. He is very intelligent and that had gotten him far in life, but when the virus hit and mankind was brought to it's knees Frank had to reluctantly find help.
    Sarcastic and quite bare with his humor he can offend most people with the first words he speaks, even if he doesn't intend to.
    Frank tends to be one of those distrusted people, many would swear blind that if they were in need of help in dire situations frank would only think of himself and run while he could. Selfish he is but human he remains, Frank convinces himself that he needs to keep the group alive because they protect and help him, but in reality it's just his justification for wanting people around him as this small group could be considered the best friends he has ever had.


    -History-
    As an Engineer in the previous world Frank did very well for himself, building great machines that can carve through mountains or suspend homes on the sides of mountains he was quite well known in the engineering world. Now though that has all in the past and the once high life he led is lost. His skill set has become incredibly useful however, finding what he can among the overgrown cities and their abandoned buildings he has scraped together pieces of metal and wires that could become very useful in the future, with an engineers mind he is able to build a plethora of instruments that might one day save a life, be it a comrade or his own.
