I'm looking to make a story which revolves around a small group of an original cast of characters, using this universe. I haven't picked out a location yet as I want to really sell the idea of what I intend for this to be like, though I am open to suggestions. Also bare in mind we may not stay in one location and may travel allot. I also want to go super realistic with this, which means the people taking part will need to maintain themselves by eating, drinking and sleeping. Getting bitten will mean you either die, or lose a limb and resources will be scarce if not really hard to come by. Weight is an issue, so you wont be able to arm yourself to the teeth and expect to be able to outrun a walker.

As far as characters go I don't really mind who you play as, so as long as you keep it reasonable and believable. I'd rather at most one or no ex military types, though ex police is fine. I would also like characters to have allot of depth and history to create more content for the IC for when characters come together, coming from different backgrounds that have depth will go a long way in how the IC develops alongside relationships in the group.

As for story, I'm thinking we don't plan for a goal in particular, at least not in the OOC. I think it would add to the realism of the story if our characters could come to a consensus in the IC, assuming relationships and everything else goes well. Maybe have an IC group decision on where we should go and what we do. Along side this, I'd like us to have a many different amount of plots as we advance, like chapters if that makes it easier to understand. So for example while one chapter could be getting to a location, another could be trying to escape from a town while another group hunts us down. You can also effect the story through adding your own plots if you'd like, though some heads up would be nice if it's something huge.

I can explain any of these concepts in more detail if you're unsure. I'd like for this RP to be High Casual, so reasonable size posts and detail is to be expected from those taking part.

Sounds really interesting.

Glad you think so. Hopefully we can gain some more interest in this. I think five people or less would be a good number.

Interested.

I'm interested. Before the site's troubles last xmas I was GM of the roleplay Survival, based on the walking dead world, and we were on season two, but I never got to finish it. If allowed, I would like to revive my old character and use that RP as her background story - I will use flashback tool to recount the past before she met this group of survivals.

But I don't want to cause conflicts with any ideas you may already have plan. I need more information. Since my character's background already places her months in after the initial outbreak - How long since the outbreak did you have in mind? I usually play two characters, one as main and another as domi-character (domi-characters die within the first few posts) - Are we allowed to play more than one character? And lastly will the RP take place in US soil or other country?

Awesome ^^

And I'm absolutely fine with you using your character and I'm already looking forwards to learning about them. A few months after the outbreak is likely which is why resources will be scarce and weapons hard to come by. And yeah you can have more than one character if you wish. As for the US locations, I do plan to use the states. However I'm English which means my geography isn't very good, so I might need a little help with knowing where places are etc.

This looks great! I mean, the whole US thing is going to be hard since my characters are Canadian, but I'm sure I can figure something out. I plan on RPing a group of three characters, maybe four but most likely three. I will definitely keep this in my Sub list.

I'd be up for it, I also have a CS that I used for my Walking Dead Los Angeles RP that would kind of fit into the realism if you'd like to look at it I could pm it to you.

Well everyone seems to be recycling chars, lets see i have one from a UK edition of the walking dead.

Oh, and I don't want to be THAT person, but how many people are you thinking of allowing? I ask because I just came out of an RP that was so crammed and crowded that it was impossible to keep up.

He said about 5 people or less.

In the pass I used google map to find a small town to serve as starting point. I picked Lumber City, Georgia, because the town is very small, it doesn't even have a hospital - but there is one nearby in the next city. Looking at the satellite images of the town it revealed how creepy the place really is. It looked very old and almost abandoned, and the population was under 1200 people. But you don't need to be so accurate, can pick any state and add a fictional town to it.

Around five or less, maybe six.

Honestly I don't mind, we just need a starting point really, we can move wherever and whenever after that :)

I'll probably just go with 2. I thought more about it. Maybe even one, and I'll make an all-new character.

If you like I can share with you the details of Lumber City and provide a bit of information about what happened there - to give everyone a general idea of where they are starting. I supposed the obstacle for us will be escaping the town and the military body that controls the city. But as GM it is your decision to push us in the direction you want.

Sorry Winter for calling you a dude.

Interested, although i've never seen the TV show, i have played the game though.

Sounds good to me!

I'll make an OOC soon ^^

Oh man, I am super interested in this! The game is one of my favourites and the comics are my most favourite comics of all time! I'm kinda worried though, since it looks like a lot of people are interested...

OOC will be up very shortly.

As for the amount of interest, we have around seven people. I'm willing to accept that number, but it will depend on the CS quality. Since this is High Casual.
