Wouldn't have stayed this long if I couldn't last an extra week! Still here. :D

Sure if you want xD though I have idea that may even fire powered people to halt (granted at a very risky price) but it be good to know where they all end up <.<Btw does this house have some basic chemical items or did they get ransacked? (Things like bleach, rat poison, and such)

Look forward to seeing these ideas you speak of xD I've gone way overboard with planning out these groups <.< So I may as well share them and see whether it's too much ^^' I'm going to say yes it does, don't think there was any mention of it being ransacked before o,o

Good to know you're still here and willing :D

Right so below is the general layout of the groups and what your survivors could potentially be up against :P

Fuel run group:

Bulldog - Armed with a pump action shotgun small handgun and a hatchet, he is the leader of the fuel group and carries the two way radio. Arrogant and very sure of himself, he believes he is untouchable and should be revered and respected by all. The world owes him therefore he is entitled to everything it has to offer that includes people and supplies, he thinks everyone should follow him and return to his camp with him to either become a part of the bloodthirsty group or be forced to work for them to keep their community thriving. He is as likely to put a bullet in you as he is to shake your hand, though he likes to think of himself as being merciful he doesn't take well to being insulted, challenged or rejected, if he encounters minor resistance from other survivors he will try to negotiate and gain more information about his enemies or convince them to join him as distrust to begin with is understandable to him however if he encounters major resistance he simply gives up and turns to forceful measures to capture and abduct who he can or simply annihilates those that oppose him.

Strengths: Clear headed, can attack at range and close quarters, once angered will show no mercy. Tactical, able to instruct and utilize those that follow him with simple words.

Weaknesses: Believes he is untouchable, not educated in hand-to-hand combat therefore can be a little over zealous when in a fist fight, his aim isn't particularly great either. Unwilling to harm women or children.

Guy - Brandishing a hammer, this melee fighter is the 'average Joe' of the group and often a voice of reason when things get too hectic, though he is often told to shut his mouth. He isn't as brave as his comrades and is the underdog.

Strengths: Clear headed and strategic, he's got enough strength in his swing to take a Zom Zom's head off of its shoulders, and once he's engaged in close quarter fights he isn't against fighting dirty.

Weaknesses: Unwilling to harm people, very low pain tolerance, succumbs to panic and desperation very quickly.

Hank - Brandishing two small axes as well as a small knife he is effective both at range and close up. Hank dislikes talk and doesn't trust anyone outside of their group, he does exactly as Bulldog tells him to when it comes to it but he isn't against spitting venomous words at other survivors and generally causing trouble with negotiations.

Strengths: Is incredibly strong in his upper body with a vice like grip. High pain tolerance, what would normally down a man would only slow Hank down for a short while.

Weaknesses: Slow moving and easily angered. Once he's angry he becomes outrageously violent but doesn't think things through throwing strategy out of the window. Has an old injury in his left leg, he usually leans ever so slightly to the right when he stands and is hesitant to leave his left leg in vulnerable situations when he hasn't flown off into a rage.

Shade - Brandishing a homemade baseball ball bat with a blade plugged into the end of it. This guy means business, he has a tactical mind and is Bulldog's most loyal companion, a man of no words Shade communicates with his master with simple looks and the odd hand signals before he disappears into the background. He doesn't converse with anyone else and will remain out of negotiations.

Strength: Relies on stealth and brute strength to carry him through, a flawless free runner, acrobatic and brutal.

Weaknesses: Loyalty - He will do exactly as Bulldog says and cannot function without his masters orders, ineffective at range, can't face people head on. Has a fresh injury on his right shoulder.

Farm group:

Vixen - Brandishing a small handgun and a duel set of knifes in holders on her lower back. She is a stealthy and strategic individual, she holds her own survival above everyone elses and isn't ashamed of fleeing a situation if the odds are not in her favor. She can be incredibly manipulative, using whatever she can to lull people into a false sense of security, she loves to play on other people's good morals or weaknesses. Meaning she is likely to play the damsel in distress role to lure trusting people to her before she kindly embeds her knife into them to get herself out of hairy situations. She is only loyal to one person.

Strengths: Fast and agile, not effected by the loss or pain of others even if she knows them. Strategic and silver tongued. Intuitive and Intelligent.

Weaknesses: Not very strong, unable to work as part of a team. Far more likely to flee rather than fight.

Vixen also carries a two way radio.

Three Musketeers Scyther [left], Crow [center] and Axel [right] These three melee fighters accompany Vixen, they are young and full to the brim with arrogance and propaganda. Unwilling to turn away from a fight they become more aggressive when they are frightened. Call themselves the three musketeers. Not the brightest bulbs in the box and are often rude or brash when engaged in conversation.

Strengths: Stick together and work as a team, effective at close quarters. Scyther and Axel are fairly strong. Crow is fast.

Weakness: Easily spooked, quick to attack, arrogant, young and inexperienced, lacking discipline. Physically, they all have a very low pain tolerance. Scyther and Axel lack speed, Crow lacks strength.

The above has been sat in a document of mine for a while thus why I managed to get it posted today ^^' Unfortunately I haven't managed to get a post finished D: Sorry! I'll get it up tomorrow T_T

Oh god they are going to think Cat is a idiot, insane, or doesn't give a shit when/if he makes his threat. (Probably won't be immediate since. Vixen will probably try to just silver tongue her way in. Buuuuuut she probably won't expect such a psycho among such meek individuals either... Mhmm..)

Dog will probably have to attempt to keep her group calm xD and I just realize the fuel group is all women (though of course Dog counts herself as the only man :p)

Mhmm fuel run group may have trouble xD then again it is made up with the two aggressive girls. Dog at least can use guns and is a melee fighter (not as talented as Cat, but knows how defend herself... Just lacks the willing to fight) and will most likely will try to charm her way out of this situation with friendlyness

The musketeers might xD Vixen is definitely in for a surprise once she meets Cat <.< There is a possibility they may think all of those things about Cat as well amongst other things xD

Yeah, not sure whether the fuel run group was too much trouble, but as you pointed out it is mainly a group of women and they're all pretty kick ass :P If anything Dog is probably in the most danger <.< Being a 'guy' and all xD Good to know she's going to be helping out with a voice of reason!

^^' Although...taking different timezones into account I posted that at some ridiculous time like 1am so it is 'tomorrow' today xD So I'm going to say I've still got until midnight today before you can say I lied xP All the same I am sorry for the delay, yesterday did not go to plan at all -.-

teapotshark said

Hopefully! Definitely going to be a little on the crazy side <.< Did you want to have control over any of the bad guys? I kind of figured they'd be puppet'd around for the most part, except for Bulldog and Vixen as I'll use them to keep the plot running smoothly...or perhaps not so smoothly xD

Haha but Dog is such a adorable 'guy' 'he' is full of wuv. XD

Ya know I kinda just want to just refer her as he since she truly does think herself as a guy(or just scared of being a girl... Eh these twins and their mental problems) but then it might get confusing whenever CatDog are together xD

And nah it's fine I was just playin xD

I'd love to help out, if you need it.

That is very true, Dog is adorable :P If you want to then do so, especially if Dog thinks that way <.< Just might make it more work for you when they're together xP You know It's going to be amusing if/when Mercy finds out Dog is actually a girl xD Especially if 'he' is scared of being a girl :P

Post up! Though I did end up lying <.< 45 minutes out -.-' Sorry :P

If you could that'd be great! I'm used to controlling a lot of characters at once but I think 10 is way too ambitious ^^' I definitely will need your help :) if you want to take control/change any of the other 6 please go ahead! Also any ideas are welcome :P

It will very amusing if Dog is caught. That or just sad xD

It be like

*oh noes Dog is caught without any clothes or neck is exposed*

People: wait your a girl?!

Dog: TIS A LIE! A LIE I TELL YOU! EVERYTHING YOU SEE ARE LIES!!!! IM A GUY!

XD or something like that. So I'll try referring as Dog as a 'male' (until something in her mind changes or someone catches her in the act) and maybe I'll just refer her as a she when with Cat since Cat is fully aware she's a girl xD

Hey all, before going on vacation I thought I share some doodles I did. I'm not a great artists but hey it's somethin. The chibi were created on Gaia online. Sorry for any misconstructions on characters xD.

Dog and CatDog as animals


Cat and his scars. His back is basically a fully faded burn scar with other scars topping it.


Dog


Cat


Mercy


Ash


Chris


Tony


Kaylah

Those doodles and chibis are fantastic. I hope you have an awesome vacation!

Sadly, I think I'm going to have to go. More than anything I'd like to keep RPing with you guys, and you know I've always wanted to keep Infection alive. Alas, due to complications in my family and a heavy university workload, I haven't got the time, and when I do have time, I use it to catch some precious sleep. You're welcome to take on my characters or kill them off in the coming adventures. It sucks I have to go at this time, but my family come first.

I hope I'm not putting too much strain on you guys by leaving. In a while, when life has calmed down, I look forward to roleplaying with you again. Good luck <3

Haven't put any strain on us don't worry ^^ Good luck to you as well :)

Who's eyes? Dog or Cat? XD

And right I already had a post set up so I'll get it up in a moment. And thank you ^^ *is currently lounging on the beach in Hawaii*

Oh we might need a interest check huh? 3 or 4 people is good, but just us two if no one returns just is a 1x1 instead of a group xD

Sorry I thought I wrote Cat in there somewhere >.< My bad ^^' I meant Cat's eyes xD

Thanks for posting :D Sorry that I was a bit late on wishing a good vacation ^^' Lucky though! I can imagine Hawaii is a beautiful place to be :D

Yeah, its a little bit awkward with Rarity being away o.o' Pretty sure it was this week that M.C could possibly start posting again <.< Indeed ^^' Shall figure something out :)

I will have to think on what to do as bringing in new people could potentially be a big change o.o Will need to reshuffle the plans a little as well <.< Just wanted to say I won't be able to get on here for the next two days though >.< I'll send M.C a message though :)

Sorry to leave you hanging again it's unavoidable I'm afraid ^^'

Well thank you then XD I liked how Cat turned out as well :D such serious eyes he has :p

And alright. I'll be here.. Going swimming. Lol. It's so nice and green here. And sunny :3

Sorry for causing so much trouble and being away for an extended period of time. Part of it was due to my illness(physical and mental) and part I could not get the forum to work and got frustrated with trying. My internet has been spotty at best. November is also NaNoWriMo and I took a stab at that! I finished the word goal already and will not be writing for the rest of the month, religiously anymore, but only when I feel like it. My word count is 63K as of now. I am suffering migraines probably from staring at a laptop for hours at a time writing and everyone in my house is sick with colds/flu. The coughing is not helping my head either, nor is my birds loud screams. haha

I read some of the past OOC posts (last two pages) but I could use a status update if anyone is willing. (I see we are down some people, which I had feared and expected. Sorry to see people go, but I wish them well!)

As for me role playing, I want to get back on that horse, but you will have to be patient with me and I need an update of where my characters are and what is currently happening. I want to go back and read all the posts I missed, but that might take me some time, but I will try!

I probably will not be a "fast" role player with a post once or twice a week, hopefully more as I shake the rust off my writing gears and as such my posts will be of varying length and probably will not be the best quality at first. Also keep in mind that my "illness" is not magically cured, but I will keep you up to date if I have to be away again. If I do not come on with no notice, then that is the fault of my internet, not me.

All in all, I have really missed everyone and this role play.

Caught up with all the OOC posts. Gives me a small glimpse of what has been going on IC, but I will be looking at the IC posts asap.

Your characters have mostly just been around the house xD probably the kitchen or heir rooms. While everyone else kinda just wanders around doing their thing. Tony visited Cat, they fiddled to make a radio thing, Cat hugged him and Tony freaked out and fainted. After Mercy and Chris had their little cute moment with collecting eggs, Chris checked on Tony, found him looking dead in the psycho's arms and threw a punch at him.

Cat caught her fist, his grip being so hard that he injured her hand a little, and was about to return the punch to the head.

Dog talked with Ash a little, then went to the attic to get the map for them but quickly stopped Cat and got between the two, Mercy following to calm the situation. Cat, blood boiling from possible battle, calmed himself by cutting himself and now is just in the attic, messing with bottles then currently sleeping.

Ash and Kaylah were outside checking the vehicles I think? I'm not sure

The rest leaves the attic, Dog apologies and attempts to explain her brother and warn them to probably just leave him alone and don't cause any threats to him before happily returning to Ash with the map.

Tony and Chris talk over leaving in their room, Tony saying he's fine though and wasn't hurt then they go to Mercy to fix up Chris's hand.

Mercy helps farm boy's 'cold' before going to her room to prepare to go to the attic and patch up Cat's self injury. Promising Dog she would go do it, even though she was told she doesn't have to (and she's pretty spooked by Cat but feels ashamed for being so rattled by him when near him)

Tony and Chris visit her and agree to help, a part of it delaying visiting Cat.

Dog and Ash went upstairs to ask the others to go on a fuel run.
