OOC Stuff:

Here are some rules we'll be following in the course of the RP. If there is something you feel should be added, let me know and I'll consider it.

1. Standard Guild rules apply

2. As GM, my word is law. I'll be open to suggestions and ideas, but I'll have the final say on whatever happens

3. For your first IC post, make sure you detail what kind of equipment your character is carrying, as well as some things they have been doing to survive to ever since the outbreak. You are allowed the freedom the select what sort of starting equipment your character will have, but keep it within the scope of realism. Soldiers will obviously go in with a lot of equipment and will be better suited for surviving and diving into the Quarantine Zone, while citizens will start with a more scarce supply. This is fair because while citizens will be focused on surviving and escaping danger, the soldiers must willingly go into the danger-zones for their job.

3. No Godmodding without my permission. Only I have the power to make large-scale events happen. However, if there's something you want to do which will affect other players, give me the details either through PM or the OOC thread first, and if I agree with it, I'll give you permission to do it.

4. No invincible/unkillable characters. Characters are flesh and blood humans just as susceptible to death as the next guy. So act like it! Have your character preserve their life the best they can, but if they get themselves into a really bad situation, they should not be getting out of there unscathed. And if they do something stupid, they better suffer the consequences.

5. Following the above rule, no Mary Sues and Gary Stus allowed in here. Make your characters unique with various strengths and weaknesses

6. No overpowering characters during PvP. If you get into a fight with another Player-Character, both of you should have an equal chance of victory and defeat, a chance to strike and defend, and the result of the fight must be agreed upon by both players involved. Do not automatically make yourself the victor without even giving the other player a chance to respond.

7. No player-character killing without the permission of the Player controlling them. You CANNOT just fire a gun and kill a PC. Only if the Player who owns them agrees to their death will it be acceptable.

8. Romance between characters is allowed, but keep it appropriate. Considering they're in the middle of an unkillable zombie outbreak, they probably have bigger concerns . Though if you really must... Then take all Rated-18 IC to the PM's

9. IC swearing is fine (considering the horror and gory nature of this RP, it's pretty obvious this isn't for a young audience XD). But don't overuse it and cuss every few sentences. Use only when appropriate or fitting.

10. Have fun and play nice. Basically just do what you feel will be enjoyable for you in the course of this RP =). But use your common sense to avoid annoying or hurting anyone else. IC hating and fighting is fine (as that may end up being inevitable for characters), but I will not stand for fights in the OOC. So don't start anything in here. Or I will start swinging the banhammer

11. If you're going to disappear or be inactive for sometime (for any reason), please let us know in the OOC. This way we'll know who we're waiting for and if we should slow down for anyone who may be getting left behind.

APPEARANCE: Almond-shaped, pale green eyes, dark skin, frizzy black hair that falls to her shoulders (usually held in a ponytail). Miss Boateng is 5'8" with a wirey frame and long legs. Her typical attire is a cotton camisole, running bottoms and trainers.

NAME: Boateng, Dominique
AGE: 21
SEX: F

PERSONALITY: Miss Boateng acts suspiciously when presented with strangers and is slow to build trust. She will not often go out of her way to benefit others, particularly when there is danger involved, and pointedly speaks little around those she is not familiar with. In spite of this, she is capable of caring deeply for others and forming strong bonds with those few whom she does trust. In the right company she can be outgoing, even loud, and energetic.
OCCUPATION: Student

BACKGROUND: Miss Boateng was in her final year studying biochemistry at the University of Valhalla whilst living with her father, Gabriel, when the crates fell on the city. Her mother had left to begin a new family when Miss Boateng was eleven years old, and the two became estranged. Miss Boateng does not know where her mother lives or if she is, in fact, still alive. A once vibrant member of the community, Miss Boateng had a wide circle of friends and volunteered for a number of local charities, as well as being a member of the University cross country running team (before the incident).

SKILLS: Good all-round knowledge in the fields of microbiology, plant biology and genetics. Good endurance runner and can sprint short distances. French speaker.
LIKES: Eating, reading and rock music. Displays a fondness for good quality trainers.
DISLIKES: "Pop" music, confrontation, sharing and crowded buses.

APPEARANCE:

NAME: Chen, Lian
AGE: 26
SEX: F

PERSONALITY: Outward, impulsive, gullable. A social person, likes talking to people but not to hear the sound of her own voice. To others it may seem at first that Lian acts first and thinks after, but she is by no means reckless. She values action over inaction, thinking that standing around isn't going to do any good to anyone. Thus far, she has survived on that way of thinking. She is quick to open up and trust new people, if only they seem friendly. This may prove to be a weakness however, but she believes that cooperation is vital to survive in groups.
OCCUPATION: Online Support at a big company that probably no longer exists because of the infection.

BACKGROUND: Grew up in Valhalla with two parents and no siblings in a regular suburban environment. The parents had recently emigrated from China. Went to public school and then studied art. After graduating, she found it hard to make a living out of her art talents and searched for any work she could find. Being an outgoing and social person, she soon landed a job as a support worker for a company that does online paying services. Was working as usual when the infection broke out only a week before her vacation. She found herself unable to leave the city as it rapidly descended into chaos and madness.

SKILLS: Climbing. Used to climb in controlled environments indoors as a workout. Speaks Chinese.
LIKES: Sweets, drawing, climbing, most people, Chinese culture.
DISLIKES: Rude people, the social elite, politics, unequality, racism, etc.

@ Hayley: Character accepted! I like how you kept the vibe of it being some sort of official file/document on someone =). Though my only criticism is that there is information on what she has been up to after the city went to Hell. No one is supposed to know what people have been up to after the riots ended. Anything your character has been doing ever since the infection broke out (and also what equipment they're carrying) should be explained in their first IC post. But I guess that's my fault for forgetting to put that in XD. I'll edit the OP to have that as well as some ground rules.

Also, if anyone has any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know.

EDIT: Looks like you ninja'd me, Chenzor . Anyway, accepted as well!

EDIT EDIT: Woops, looks like you guys forgot the right way to put in the names (and so did I XD). I guess we're just used to RP apps having the names like that. I'll edit it myself.

[COMMENCING DATABANK UPDATE. . . ]

What do you mean, right way to put in the names? o:
Also I was going to go with the Citizen Profile theme too but I was so unsure about my character at first so I just wrote it down as a regular CS to make it easier ^^

I meant putting in the Last Name before the First Name, as documents usually have it XD

APPEARANCE: Male Caucasian. Brown eyes, black hair, and a fair complexion. Stands an even six feet with a medium build. Wears standard Army ACUs at work and a leather bomber jacket over denims off it.



NAME: Smalls, Andrew.
AGE: 29
SEX: M

PERSONALITY: Generally easy-going and friendly. Methodical and attentive at his chosen occupation but has proven prone to lapses in judgment in at least one instance. Can turn morose and self-absorbed in the face of disappointment but tries not to take it out on others if he can help it.

NATIONALITY: American
MILITARY BRANCH: US Army Aviation.
RANK: Sergeant.
SPECIALIZATION: Pilot and technician.

BACKGROUND: Raised in Oregon. Father and both grandfathers lumberjacks. At age ten took an interest in flying after going up in a helicopter piloted by a family friend. Took up Aviation Science in Eugene out of high school. After getting his degree joined US Army Aviation because “that's where the flying was.” Recruiter noted exceptional marks in technical areas but telling signs psychologically. Observed recruit did not come across as “fully cognizant” of the kind and gravity of decisions encountered in the field. Built up a glowing record on the back of technical and administrative skills assigned to units in the CONUS and Japan before acceptance into 160th SOAR. First few weeks deployed in West Asia passed without incident until a mission to relieve a besieged outpost. Barely made it back to base with a badly-damaged aircraft from his insistence on rescuing trapped civilians. Avoided court martial but reassigned to non-flying duties after recovering from injuries. Worked from a desk at Fort Campbell researching and planning for contingencies immediately before volunteering to coordinate air support from the ground for the force entering Valhalla City.

SKILLS: Military pilot and technician. Has served in the Army eight years including two with the Nightstalkers but with little exposure to combat. Third mission into a combat zone recently resulted in reassignment from flying duties. Qualified with helicopters, fixed-wing transport aircraft, and tilt-rotors. Aviation degree. Passed special forces training with average scores. Excellent eyesight. Draws in his spare time.
LIKES: Flying, the outdoors, comic books and geeky shit.
DISLIKES: Politicians and other liars and cheats.

REASON FOR VOLUNTEERING: “I'm still a soldier. Sir.”

Character accepted, updating OP now =)

I hope more people from the interest check show their CS'es too ^_^

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to comment that your Character Profile was a little "casual" compared to the others. Even though it doesn't really fit in a place for official files, it's totally fine as the people who write official files may not always make everything stiff XD. I'll give you guys the freedom of choosing the vibe of your CS =)

Augh...I don't know how to make a CS for zee military persons...see, this is what happens when one does not play enough FPS.
*flails*

Google and Wikipedia tends to help with info for the Branch, Rank, and Specializations. That's what I did whenever I joined a Military RP =). In any case, feel free to wing it as I'm not really going for 100% accuracy realism. Just write what you wish while making it believable

APPEARANCE:
Athletic, tall-ish at five foot ten. Hair was originally blonde, but she's been dyeing it a medium brown for years. Her eyes are brown, and she gave herself a bad cigarette burn on her ankle recently...

NAME: Pasternack, Inna
AGE: 26
SEX: F
PERSONALITY:
-Quiet
-Sentimental
-Shy
NATIONALITY: Russian
MILITARY BRANCH: Ground Forces of the Russian Federation
RANK: Lieutenant
SPECIALIZATION: Sniper

BACKGROUND: It was silly to think that her interests and occupation all started with her brother, using a makeshift slingshot out of a branch and rubber band to hit her hand with a rock…but it was how it was. Their family was poor, but they all worked hard to put their own share into keeping it together. Working at a shop, she used money to convince a retired archery expert living on the edge of her town to teach her how to utilise a bow. Her brother would drown in his teens, her mother would pass away from illness when she entered into her teens, and Inna joined the military as soon as she was able.
The sniper rifle was like an extension of her body, as her learning to use one became almost a religious practice. For a long time, she was assigned the same spotting partner…and though they were very close, they were never more than a sniper team. It was actually his desire to join up with operation RAGNAROK, since a cousin of his was killed in Valhalla City…but he was killed in an accident a week before he was supposed to leave. Inna took his place.

SKILLS:
-Sharpshooting skills
-Rifle training
-Handgun training
-Military training
-First Aid training
-Picked up archery back in her teens
-General jogging/running, swimming
LIKES: Cold winters, archery, sharing a cigarette with a friend, reading, the quiet, spices…
DISLIKES: …the heat…

REASON FOR VOLUNTEERING: “I’m just following my good friend…”

Accepted!

Adding her to the Roster now =). Though I have to ask... Is her name done with Last name first and First name afterwards? Or is Pasternack really her first name? The way you refer to her as "Inna" suggests that that is her first name, but the lack of a comma in the "NAME" part is throwing me off >_<

Pasternack is her last name...? I'll edit with dat comma you want...

Heads up, took out his ANG duty. And yeah, I have trouble writing coldly impersonal-like.

Thanks. Sorry about that, it was just confusing me . Anyway, she's added to the list now.

Oops, changing now. Thank you O gracious GM

@Major Ursa: Ah, got it. Let me take care of that in a jiffy ^_^

@hayley: Haha, it's no problem. If you feel like altering anything else, let me know so I can change it as well.
