This was an idea I threw out a while back (it might have been on the old site) and a lot of people put their interest forward but then some stuff happened in my life so, I'm ashamed to say, I left the ic to die before it could even properly take shape. However, recently I've been going over a few rp ideas in my head and this one is still one of my favourites, so I thought I'd try it out again. So essentially the zombie apocalyspe swept into england and, as is the norm in zombie apocalypses, if you were in a city you were basically handing yourself a death sentence. So, theoretically, if you were in the sprawling english countryside when the calamities were playing out, you had a better chance of survival, which is true, the apocalypse happened, and you're still alive afterall. However, post-outbreak, your location is becoming more of a problem than a salvation, you're miles away from any town or city, and if it wasn't for the odd undead walker wandering into the safe zone you wouldn't even be aware that the apocalypse was still going on. The action would take place on a small farm, Creek Fields, in the middle of West Yorkshire, and the rp would surround a small group of survivors living on the farm, getting by with what they can, largely unwilling to leave the farms borders because of the percieved safety of staying within the farm as well as the Isolationism tactics imposed by the de facto leader of the group, Marley Todd, whose family the farm belongs to. Prior to rp, everything on the farm has been pretty chill, food hasn't been a big problem since the farm has chickens, sheep and two cows as well as a vegetable garden and stocks of preserves. The farm is also well-stocked with weapons, from hunting rifles to pitchforks, though the isolated location of Creek Fields has made sure that there haven't been any bandits attempting a raid, or even too many walkers. However, one day a walker does wander onto the farm and things go wrong, Samson (an npc), a Doctor who had been on the farm since the early days of the outbreak, gets bit and despite the protests of her younger sister, Julia, Marley makes the choice to execute him. The rp would start from this event, and the fallout depends on your characters own sense of morals, relationship to other characters, as well as your characters outlook on the world since the outbreak. I'd like to have an rp that deals with a similar narrative to Lord of the Flies, as in, is it possible to establish a working society when the percieved society you've based your actions and identity around, has fallen? I'd also like to go into this rp with pre-established relationships, after all, by the time the rp starts you would have already been on the farm for around two months, so you'd need to work out and agree on your connections to other characters before you jump into the ic. At some point, towards the rps natural end, there will be an event that threatens the settlement as a whole (maybe a bandit raid or a sudden army of zombies), and it'll be through the strength of relationships established throughout the rp that will determine if the settlement survives or burns. I'll better explain the concept in an ooc, but for now, interest?

I'd be down for this.

Interested

I'll try it out I guess.

Why not, I'll do this.

Sorry for the late reply, rp guild was down for me yesterday so i didn't bother coming on. It's great to see so much interest. I'm working on the ooc and a character sheet now and it should be up by the end of today. Just a few things about characters I'd like to add; -you're welcome to play up to two characters so long as you feel you're able to play both convincingly and confidently, a small group would make sense in rp since Marley wouldn't allow too many people on the farm to avoid overcrowding, but if you know you can bring two characters to the mix than please do (i myself will be rping both Marley Todd anf her younger sister Julia). -the rp is set in West Yorkshire, so best to think of a reason as to why your character would have been in the area pre-outbreak (they live nearby, were on holiday in the area .etc) or were in the area early on during the outbreak or post (they were trying to get to scotland to find family and got sidetracked on the way .etc) -the latest your character can have joined the farm is two weeks pre-rp. From where the rp starts it will have been about two months post-outbreak, the farm would have been available as a settlement during the early days of the outbreak which lasted for around four weeks. -There tends to be a lot of soldier characters in these sort of things, so I've decided to limit the rp to having only one soldier character, if you're interested in having a soldier character you'll need to reserve.

Is this rp gonna happen yet or is it forgotten already?

im up for this
