The Walking Dead : Among the Ruined// Spin-off Series

- The reason I say "spin-off" is because there is already a The Walking Dead: Among the Ruined Roleplay out there. I currently Co-Gm it. This spin-off will take place in Central Texas (Bandera, Texas), unlike the original which takes place in Louisiana. The current roleplay/series is on its THIRD SEASON! YES! Like the show, our RP is divided into seasons(threads). Each season usually has its own arc and main plot/villain. I hope to have as much success here as we did in the original rp which is STILL going. If all goes well in both Roleplays, maybe the characters from the original may one day meet the characters from this spin-off.

*Everythang below was written by Myst (GM of The Walking Dead: Among the Ruined) the original*
ALWAYS ACCEPTING
When hell gets full, the Devil lets the dead walk the earth...

So this is a walking dead style rp. There will be action and gore and zombie killing, but mostly this will be about the twists and turns, the drama, the heartache and the joy of moral decisions that have both good and bad consequences.
Everything you do and say will have consequences further down the line. The walker you killed yesterday was actually the mother of the person you met today. That guy you refused to give food? He came back as a walker and killed your best friend. That little boy you helped? He came back with a large group to steal your supplies. Each choice is life and death. Don't ever get too comfortable, because you never know when things will go to hell.
Of course... it's already there...

Rules :
1. No fighting in the OOC. I mean it. You get one warning, then your characters gets killed off and you are banned from the rp.
2. No overpowered characters. It's okay to have weapons, but not everyone is survival trained and can make a rocket launcher with a pocket knife, some string and a potato. Be realistic with your characters skills and their weapons.
3. Gore is fine, but romance (if there is any during a zombie apocalypse) goes to PM. Anything above kissing goes to PM.
4. Killing of characters must be agreed upon.
5. Before making any game changing decisions please pm me to ask or discuss it in the OOC before posting it. This does not mean I need to make every decision for you, but MAJOR plot twists need to be approved by either me or my Co-GM(s).
6. You can have as many characters as you can handle. Do not ignore anyone and post regularly. If you can't post for a couple of days, let us know so we can move around your character. If you do not post in the IC or OOC or PM me for four days straight your character will be killed and become a walker. If you want to return after that, you can make another character.
7. People will die. It's a zombie survival rp. If I PM you about your character dying please do not be upset. I am not picking on you or singling you out for any other reason then to add drama and keep the story random and interesting. You can always make another character, but if you are dead set on keeping you character alive I will not kill them without your consent.
8. It might seem strange to have this rule but I have run into problems with this in the past so I am going to say it right off : NO ONE IS IMMUNE. This is not "The Last of Us" this is a "The Walking Dead" rp. There is no cure and there is no immunity to the zombie virus. Everyone already has it. Your character can be working on a cure, but that is all.
9. I reserve the right to add more rules if needed.

I am in this for the long-haul, so I ask you to please not join unless you plan on being in this for a while and will contribute to the story. I have seen too many good rps die from people joining and never posting.

Let's have fun with the end of civilization, shall we?

GM = QT

In addition, what I'd like to see is a very low amount of "Soldier/Soldier-Like" characters. Not everyone in the zombie universe is a soldier. There are still regular cashier people surviving; Low income families, waiters and waitresses, etc. Normal people can survive, it has been shown in the television show. Also, this has nothing to do with The Walking Dead universe. This is an entire different universe where Rick and them do not exist.

Accepted Characters

Appearance :

Name : Aubrey Diaz

Age : 22

Skill : Basic first aid and archery.

Weapon (up three): A black, modern, Recurve bow with 20 arrows in its quiver; as well as a tactical knife about seven inches long.

Personality : Aubrey can be stubborn and short tempered at times. If she thinks she is right, she won't back down from the argument. The sarcasm is strong in her and she won't make exceptions to who she uses it with. But this is only to people that she typically doesn't get along with. To those who know her, or those she thinks are worth her trust, she is funny and caring. The sarcasm still applies but she knows when to use it. Aubrey is loyal to those that show promise and will try to do everything in her power to help them survive. She used to be an outgoing girl, still having her outbursts here and there, but now she chooses to stay quiet and do things on her own.

Brief Bio: Aubrey was born to a wealthy family in McAllen, Texas. She had no siblings and the very few friends she had, she spoke to very little. Her time would be occupied with horse riding lessons, archery lessons, and school. Although her family had money, she still chose to work, helping out at the vet's office a few blocks from her house until she graduated from high school and left to college.

She attended Texas A&M up until the outbreak happened. Her family decided to go north, out of the state of Texas to see if they could find safety or refuge. Aubrey agreed to meet them at a certain point, but in the mayhem and fear that the others were causing, she got lost and ended up driving to San Antonio. She stayed there for a couple of months, trying to find her parents but nothing happened. Since then she'd been roaming, trying to survive and stay out of sight.

Spinoff C.S.


((IGNORE THE GIANT COAT))
Name: Victoria Claire Jonas
Age: 17
Skill: Sneaking, Sub-par marksmanship
Weapon: Buck Knife, Glock 19
Personality: Victoria tends to see the bad side in people and often holds it against them. She is a rather cautious person when it comes to dangerous situations and risks, but she is an awful liar and is prone to getting into trouble. When Victoria earns someone's trust (and vice versa), she is loyal to a fault.
Brief Bio:

Victoria grew up in rather normal circumstances. She lived the life of a stereotypical preacher's daughter in the small town of Jefferson, Texas. Growing up, she did normal things like fail at learning guitar and playing with her neighborhood friends. When she was a teen, she attended her local high school with her younger brother, David. Being the "preachers daughter" she never did anything seemingly wild to the people of her small baptist church-like go to parties or drink.

When she was 14, her youngest brother, Michael died in a car wreck, leaving a permanent scar in the entire family's life. For almost a year, her dad was less passionate about his preaching, but eventually overcame the grief. When the apocalypse came, her brother and her parents were away on a trip for his class, so she started out alone.

Reserving. :)

Used this character some time ago in another Walking Dead RP...

Appearance : 6’3”, 265lbs. Burly, lumberjack-esque appearance. He normally keeps his straw-colored hair and beard trimmed neatly, but the present situation has caused both to become more unkempt than he would like.

Name : Buck Bradley

Age : 33

Skill : Physical intimidation, heavy lifting. Definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but a generally decent human being.

Weapon: 4 foot piece of Douglas Fir 2x4

Personality : Buck always has had a short fuse. It served him well in his former profession. Having said that, he was always able to keep it together when necessary. Early on after the outbreak he took up with a group of survivors, a few of which helped to soften his usually gruff exterior. A bad ending to his time with the aforementioned group has left him hesitant to trust or get too close to anyone again.

Brief Bio : Before the outbreak Buck worked as a professional wrestler under the name Buck “Shot” Bradley. He was by no means famous, but made a decent living and hoped to retire in the near future into a less physically demanding role. He was on his way to a show out of state when the outbreak hit. Fortunately a kind young woman picked him up when he got separated from his vehicle. For the next few months Buck, the woman and several other survivors made their way north. In that time he developed several friendships and became a surrogate father figure to a couple of youngsters in the pack. Unfortunately one night the survivors’ camp was overrun and Buck was separated from his group. What their final fate was he may never know, but he carries a lot of baggage from the event.

Brief Bio :

Name : Farren North (maiden name Gregory)

Brief Bio : Farren was the sporty girl in high school. She was nice to everyone, had a level head, made good grades. She excelled in track, basketball, and volleyball. After high school, she went to a state university to get a degree in biology. While there, she met Audric North, who was a theater major and swept her off her feet. They married within 6 months and continued going to school. Audric became violent slowly however, trying to control Farren. She graduated with her degree and planned on leaving him when she got pregnant. Audric had tampered with their protection to cause it, believing it would trap her with him. Instead, she became more resolute, knowing he might hurt the baby, and left. While pregnant she began dating another man, Seth, but put the relationship on hold for the first 6 months of her baby, Dean’s, life. They hit it off again and a year later got engaged. It fell apart when Seth and Farren moved in together. He found it too hard to work, be a daddy, and meet Farren’s needs. She found herself micromanaging everything, complaining more, and trying to make them come together easily when it just wasn’t. The mutual break up was hard as they had a lot of chemistry, but Farren swore off dating for a while after. Then the world changed. Sports didn’t matter, much of her schooling, dating… just staying alive with her not even 3 year old son mattered now.

Hair color: Brown
Eye color: Hazel
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 165 plbs
Physique: Fit but a bit more on the lighter side

Clothing: John is know for just wearing simple clothing never being on for wearing expensive items. His normal clothing consists of a pair of lightly brown colored timberland boots, a pair of faded blue jeans, a black leather belt, a long sleeved tan shirt a long with a similar tan colored hunting vest, and a faded hunting cap and a jean jacket.

Name : John Samuel Benson

Age : 40

Skill :

Hunting: Mostly small time game such as deer, elk, smaller animals such as birds ducks and so on. His love for hunting gives him moderate marksmanship with hunting style rifles and also smaller game pistols.

Tracking: Having hunted most of his life he has a pretty steady ability when it comes to tracking in different environments if it be the woods or larger open area's. He is able to find and hunt animals by their tracks.

Basic survival: Has basic survival skills having loving camping as a kid and hunting trips with his own father, he is able to live off the land if need be.

Weapon :


Browning Bar safari 308.


Smith and Wesson 22A pistol (camo design)


Bowie hunting knife

Personality : John is what you might consider a small town country type person before all this started. He was a good man who smiled a lot, had a lot of friends, a loving family, he just had a generally good attitude his whole life and always a positive outlook on life. John is what you might have consider a simple and generous soul who would have given you the shirt off his own back if you needed it. John was the type of person who would take a whole day off on work just to spend time with people, especially his son whom like him loved to camp and hunt. A passionate and forthcoming man, again John was a simple country man raised on the basic principles of family comes first, and thats the end of the story. However now after the start of the apocalypse his out look on life has become rather bleak and just full of nightmares. John rarely smiles anymore unless it be to cheer his son up, the trusting man he used to be has been shredded by how the world has become. In a lot of ways John fights with himself on the inside, he wants to be the trusting man he was before, to be that gentle being he was before, but he knows that in this new world he has to be someone willing to do what it takes to keep himself and his son safe. So he is often conflicted between who he wants to be and who he has to be to survive.

Brief Bio : Before the start of the Apocalypse John was a simple man who worked in the general store in his small town, he had a small cabin style house just on the outside of town where he lived with his son Matthew. It was a simple life for the most part, it was quiet and it was a good life, they had just enough to get by and that was enough for them. More often then not on the weekends John and his son would go hunting out in the woods, and would camp, something they both loved to do. His wife having died several years earlier, Matthew had becomes John's whole life, and he made sure to spend as much time with him as possible, even to the point where he sacrificed a lot to make sure everyday was special. After the start of the apocalypse John found himself thrust into a world he had never before known, a world that was quickly engulfed by hatred, mistrust, and deceit. At first John tried to retain who he was, and tried to keep himself and his son within the small town they lived in, hoping that what was happening in the world would not make it to their small town. However as time went on the hell that had started quickly came to greet them, it started with armed looters and then continued on to the Walkers from bigger neighboring towns stumbling into town. An very much like everyone else John realized they could not stay and he took his son and went on the move trying to find safety wherever he could. This too was futile, a trial and error in a lot of ways, having meant many people along the road who wished to do them harm. As time slowly went on John began to stray away from groups of people, resorting to keeping himself and his son secluded from others. The only thing that matters anymore is keeping his son safe, no matter what that takes.

Awesome! ;)

Edit: PM me if anyone wants to know or be travelling with Farren.

Things are going to be a bit busy for me, so I should have my characters up later today.
Sorry for the delay. :c

Appearance:

Name: Clayton Burrows

Age: 54

Skill: Hunting, camping, strong stomach

Weapons: Winchester Model 70 with scope, hunting knife and a priest (the tool, not the Christian….)







Personality: Clayton is a bit of a hard-ass but is not completely closed off. Stubbornness is the motivation for his survival not determination for life or love. He’s lonely but it doesn’t haunt his feelings. He feels old enough to have lived his life but not old enough to lie down and die. With the world in ruins, his motivation for doing most things ranging from food or water to exploration is motivated by either survival or spontaneity. Part of him feels glad the world has gone to hell. It’s given him a feeling of absolute freedom. Clayton has never cared for leadership. He was never a father by nature. He prefers doing things his way, explains the preference to being on his own compared to a group.

Brief Bio: Clayton was born and raised in the small town of Red Rock, Oklahoma. His mother was a cleaner and his father was a butcher. They earned a mediocre combined salary but it was enough to raise one child. It was one of the reasons why they never tried to have another; one was simply enough. Throughout his childhood, his father regularly took him on hunting trips and Clayton hated them. They were tiring, boring and freezing sometimes. His father’s motto was “If you’re gonna violate it’s innards with a knife, then you should have the decency to kill it yourself.” Everything from guns to skinning, his father showed him everything and every time he would complain like your average teenager. Clayton never hunted again till he really needed it and that wasn’t until 35-40 years later.

His father died when he was 21 from a heart attack. In his will, he left him his old hunting gear. Clayton appreciated it but never fully. He kept it for many years to dust in storage. He left to go to Texas to find opportunities but had trouble finding any. He didn’t do well in school and had little to no experience. He was able to get a job as an electrician’s apprentice in a small hospital in Dallas. It was a hard job but Clayton would take on anything to get paid. During his time at the hospital he met a nurse called Elise who would eventually become his wife and lover.

Clayton and Elise married when Clayton was 24 and they continued to live a happy and merry life; even without kids. The happiness was shattered 20 years later when Elise was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Even with Clayton’s job as senior electrician at the hospital, it wasn’t enough to pay for any expensive treatments. Elise died two years later after a hard battle. After that, Clayton started to feel depressed and lonely. He had become prescribed with antidepressants but nothing could budge it completely.

When the apocalypse started to hit, he witnessed the chaos and anarchy that ensured afterwards. To most people it was frightening and horrifying but to Clayton, it was relieving. He felt spiritually free almost. The sense of absolute freedom was something he seemed to embrace and not deny or run away from. He packed any gear he could find, including his father’s old hunting gear, and just set out onto the god forsaken world.

Other: Clayton is not an expert hunter and is very rusty; he doesn’t have any official hunting clothes, so he wears your average jacket, shirt and trousers. In the picture, he does not wear that hat.
