Death Dome OOC

it's about all the characters, mine is just recruiting people to help kill the behemoths. Most people think he's crazy, but it's worth the shot.

Why recruit anyone? You guy seems self sufficient enough to take care of himself and any threat he faces. Seems like he can make badass weapons from random scraps on the ground, so there's no need for anyone to help you find weapons. If he's so great at melee, no one needs to watch his back in a fight. And since he's the only one who can't be negativly affected by the infection, he doesn't have as much to risk compare to other humans. And when you can make flaming katanas by being the only guy not to get fucked over by a virus, who are we to compare? Cause unless everyone can be an infected not-psychopath, you have a lot of squishy humans you'd have to take care of if we get into the hot zone. Or maybe not, but like I said, when you have a one-man army, why bother?

He may be a bit badass, but he's not that badass. And there's a good chance of the virus killing him, since it's not mutating him. He only has 2 options when trying to use the virus. Gain power or die. And he's not powerful enough to be a one man army. He has to collect multiple strands of the virus from different mutations, and then it only lasts long enough to survive a fight with a Behemoth.

Then tell me, what exactly is all the other humans suppose to do? Amusing we don't get mutant powers either, and the military isn't kind enough to drop off their weapons with infinite ammo, there's not a lot a muggle can do against these infected and behemoths. Other then say, give supplies, but you don't give a fuck about that. The best I can see Donny doing is getting out of the way, which is his modus operendai outside of peddling his wares.

My character does have to modify the virus before he can use it on himself. So after he modifies it, then it can be used on others as well. Here's a little bit of his background info: His entire family was scientists, and they experimented with diseases.

Well you see, you need to add that sort of stuff when you're making an RP. If anyone else came in here, all they'd see is a couple of Character sheets and a bit of a plot synopsis. Death Dome, being an iOS game, doesn't have much info on it, so people can't really research it's world to the fullest extent. If they have to work off of guesses and assumptions, you don't have a very tightly knit storyline. Honestly, if you have to add more information based on who's asking, you're going to get a lot of people doing things they shouldn't be doing because they didn't know they couldn't. The Interest Check has some information about the game and the virus, but not so much on how we're suppose to play our parts.

For one, just what is the purpose of people who are the Behemoths? We can't exactly going into hiding if we're the size of a corporate tower.
Another thing is what about the infected? What differs them from normal humans? Are they larger humanoids with a penchant for violence, or just humans with mutant abilities who's morality and conscience is no different then when they were humans still? And if that's the case, don't except anyone to be human unless there's a more major drawback then "You might be insane". Everyone is going to be insane here, that's a given.

I rather like the whole "Apocalyptic City" feel of the RP, but you have to provide a bit more background information then what caused it. You need to set a standard and let other people know how it's going to work out before they end up making a big mistake. Otherwise you're going to get all sorts of freaks popping out of the wood work, and it might not be as fun as you think when you have pretty-boy demons melding into shadows and shooting fireballs at supposedly tough-to-kill giants. I wanted to make the guy who you could go to when you needed bullets for you guns or a can of soup for dinner, but when you don't need to keep count of your shots and you can find edible food in someone's car, in the end we all just end up becoming one-man armies instead of a group of survivors trying to get out of the town.

I'll edit the first post soon so that it has most the info on the different parts of the game and rp.

One thing I just remembered: In the actual game for iOS, an electric hammer is the second weapon that the main character gets.
