Ze Plot -
In early 2013, the world was suddenly thrown into chaos by a virus that couldn't be identified or cured by modern medical science. The infected died shortly after being bitten by some of the first 'undead', who appeared in small groups in largely populated areas as if they'd been placed there. Those bitten returned to life, crazed and violent - out for the blood of the living. Those were pretty much the only significant reports that came out of the outbreak... Things became pretty silent after Day 1. Cities, towns and other settlements were overrun within a matter of hours, while country villages were caught by surprise. The military got jumped too, and the police couldn't stop the horde with all the riot gear in the world. Life as humanity knew it came to a standstill. But that didn't mean they were going to just give up...!

It's 2032 now. The world looks every bit apocalyptic as you'd imagine. The old world cities decaying, things falling apart, everything salvageable already looted by various survivor factions. The dead still walk, somehow, and not all the survivors are the friendliest types - the world is still very dangerous to the unwary.

One group of survivors who still cling to old world values have been enduring the end of civilisation from the wilderness for 19 years now. They made their own settlement from what they could find, crawled through the seasons, built walls, scavenged from the old world and made survival away from the swarms of undead a possibility. They're out of sight from the world and their efforts to become self-sustaining have paid off! Now, the original group that founded the settlement are thinking about the future...

Notes/Rules/Information -
'Sections' -
:: Hunters :: These are the trained combatants and protecting force for the Sanctuary Settlement, using anything from baseball bats to military-grade firepower to defend their home, be it from the dead or the living. Their role is primarily to defend Sanctuary and it's people, act as armed escorts for scavenging runners, and attack it's enemies if need be. The members of this section often have nicknames or callsigns related to predatory animals.
:: Librarians :: The keepers of the old world's knowledge mostly remain at home where they study, but are quite often in the field alongside the Hunters grabbing what they need from the decaying world - books, technology, equipment. These people are the brains behind Sanctuary - without their guidance things might very well fall apart.
:: ...You guys feel free to make more Sections! I didn't actually have a lot of time to make this ^_^' ::
:: Let's just assume this takes place in the USA. It's probably the most exciting place you could have a zombie apocalypse happen in xD
:: I haven't got a map or anything yet, so for now just imagine Sanctuary as miles from the nearest city or town. The settlement itself is in a large clearing in the middle of a thick woodland, with walls of wood and scrap material for protection. Let's say it's the size of a small village, like really small.
:: I'll probably add more to this, but right now I feel like restin' the head.

A zombie roleplay from the perspective of a community that every survivor is seeking. Count me in :D

I'm totally in for joining this.

Characters~! They're all WIP for now however. I should have them finished up by tomorrow after I gets home from work.

totally interested will post a CS soon.

Spot for CS.

Would it be okay to go ahead and make a CS but skip the faction part until some exist to choose from, then edit later?

Oh, there's the main one, 'Sanctuary', but you don't have to be a part of it if you don't want to. Heck, go ahead and make your own if you'd like.

I request a spot here, since I posted in the interesting check ;)

Name: Miriam Beade
Aliases: None
Gender: Female
Nationality: American
Age: 28
Appearance:

Faction: Sanctuary
Section: Librarian
Weapons: A small hunting knife
Skills: Medical knowledge, stealth, sewing and gleaning information
Equipment/Items: An improvised medkit, some cordage for emergencies, an incomplete sewing kit and a very small notepad and pencil
Backstory/Personality: She was around nine years old when the apocalypse happened. Before then, she had been a gifted student, although a slight know-it-all/showoff. Her dad worked in a hospital, so he passed on a lot of information to her as she was naturally curious and asked many questions. Her mother taught her to sew, and she generally had a great life before the outbreak occurred. When it did, her mother fell ill, but Miriam was lucky enough that she never saw her mother in the "undead" state. Her father had been forced to slice off his spouse's head while Miriam was hurrying home from school, running from small groups of bitten victims. When she got home, he whisked her away before she could ask what happened and he drove them out of the city, continuing the escape until he ran out of gas. With their tiny amount of precious supplies, especially food and water, a group of people tracked them down after about a week or so of car-camping in a somewhat-hidden rural area. After refusing to give up their provisions, Miriam's father was brutally murdered while she was on her way back from getting water from a nearby stream; after seeing his body and realizing that their food supply was gone, she took the only thing that he still had: his knife. After that she left and continued traveling on foot until she found the Sanctuary settlement. She still likes to show off her knowledge, but she's nowhere as talkative as she was as a child, and although she is loyal, she has trust issues around strangers and a little bit of trouble warming up to people. Still, she's cheerful most of the time, grateful that she's survived so much, and spends a little too much time explaining science or health-related things. She hates fighting and confrontations, and would rather hide. She collects books and loves to read, as it reminds her of the "good days".

They lived off the land in the forest in a rough way his father dealing with the occasional Zed and Raider and bringing back what he scavenged when his son turned 13 he decided then was the time to teach him his ways, He taught him to Scavenge, and Hunt, how to move like a ghost through the forest, How to Trap, And finally Stalk Their Prey. While out on these hunts his father would pass on advice the one that stuck out the most to Justin was "Son, Even with the world going to hell remember to always smile and laugh, It brightens up peoples days." At first that seemed like an alien concept to him but eventually he understood and keeps that to his core today.

At age 16 was when everything changed a gang of raiders had come to the forest and when they found Justin's Happy little home they did unspeakable things to his mother and killed her and then killed his father when they were finally going to get around to Justin, they had found the boy had slipped free and taken his fathers weapons, angry they scoured the forest they didn't find them until it was too late, Justin stalked them hunted them and trapped them killing every member without them even knowing where he was but alone and scared and not wanting to be haunted by bad memories Justin moved on.

After wandering for 11 years helping new settlements get started and wiping out the occasional raider gang Justin had put together some armor from pieces he had scavenged, and also earned himself a shiny new nickname due to his scouting abilities Farseer given to him because his scouting abilities were like seeing into the future, he found himself a home after all this time a place called Sanctuary and there he still keeps his happy go lucky attitude and there he tries to make a new life for himself.

Name: Edwin Turner
Aliases: None
Gender: Male
Nationality: British
Age: 31
Appearance:



Faction: Sanctuary
Section: Librarians

Weapons: S&W 44 Magnum Revolver which spends most of it's time in it's holster.

Skills: A university worthy knowledge in History and Biology, and a satisfactory knowledge of engineering. Although he's spent years defending himself, he's much better at repairing guns rather than shooting them. Highly intelligent, can map out and document cities/towns/forests etc.

Equipment/Items: A backpack with numerous amounts of notebooks, blueprints, maps, pencils, pens and markers, along with a box of pistol ammunition, a pack of cigarettes, and a personal journal.

Backstory/Personality: Edwin grew up an only child to a very wealthy family. His mother made a living as a banker and his father owned some company, he can't recall which one. Living in a large house, he saw his parents occasionally, and spent most of his time with housekeepers. Edwin spent his days as a child lost in books of science, nature and fantasy, his early love for science along with the best private tutors money could buy propelled him in school to the point where he started pre-algebra by the time he was ten. He had friends, but he was sure if it weren't for the big house and boxes of toys and games they wouldn't give him the time of day.

At twelve years old Edwin and his family visited the United States on vacation. This was around the time of the outbreak, the city they had landed in was only a few hours away from being overrun by the creatures that suddenly joined the world. During the chaos Edwin's father, Alex Turner, refused to wait around and end up trapped. He lead his family miles and miles away, eventually running into a group of people who had the same idea. Realizing the situation, Alex decided it would be safer to stay with this group of people until the situation was under control, rather than try their luck among the creatures.

Nineteen years later Edwin now lives in Sanctuary, his father one of the founding members of the settlement. Sadly, Edwin lost his mother at the age of 14, due to a particularly harsh winter without any medicine. Edwin spent a majority of his life in Sanctuary reading every history article and science book available, as well as working on some of his own. Few times a month he would venture into the world with the Hunters to search for more literature along with any tools or parts needed back home. When Edwin isn't mapping out an area or documenting the surrounding wildlife he is designing various structures and inventions to improve the lives of those in Sanctuary. Nowadays he spends his time teaching the small amount of children everything he knows about History and Science at an attempt to keep old values alive, or he'll be in his office creating blueprints and maps, writing in his journal, or reading (of course)
