Alrighty!
This may or may not be a huge post so bare with me while I get my thoughts together... >.>
SO. I've been wanting a Walking Dead inspired RP. I'm watching the show for my second time because well, it's summer and I'm bored. Before I get started with possible ideas of any kind, I want to get some expectations out first and foremost.
- Casual. This means at least a paragraph or two. I'm not asking for perfection, but I am asking for decent grammar and the ability to read an RP. And, I don't mean just 'read' it I mean READ it. The ability to know when what you posts matters and how to keep the RP flowing. This means, not creating stalls in the RP. I don't know. Just keep the RP as a whole in mind when creating a character and when doing actions with your character. This a group RP, not your fanfiction.
- Small Group. I want no more than 5 people on this RP. I will accept no more than that. I will not run on a first come first serve basis. I will run on a 'best CS for the RP first come, first serve.' As in, I want to see quality CSs come in in which the RPer has put considerable thought and care into making for this RP. Any are welcome to help create the RP, but I cannot promise a slot simply for helping create the plotline. Sorry.
- RESPECT. It's my biggest rule, ever. Break it and you're out faster than you can say, 'Whoops.' I won't tolerate disrespect. Always handle any discussions with other RPers with the utmost care. Never assume you are better or know more than someone. Politely let them know if they've done something that you don't agree with. No accusing, CAPS DOMINANCE bullshit. Respect each other. It's not hard.
- Gore. It's going to happen. Follow RPG rules and don't describe graphic scenes in too much detail. Sometimes it can be even more scary when details are left blank and the reader has to imagine what happened. I know most of us can describe a graphic scene very well and make it sound really cool, but that's not following the rules. Keep it PG-13 in any case, sex, gore, drugs, or otherwise.
Ye.
So, now. For the idea! Now, this is pretty basic but I think it'd be pretty interesting.
An old abandoned hospital in Milledgeville, GA is the sanctuary for our characters. At least, at first. It all started when everything went down. People died and people came back. Military started shooting up the living. It was weird, really. How the group met up. Getting stuck on the road out of town, only to find that they had no where to hide. Eventually, a group formed out of the small number that decided to stick together, tough it out together. Some of the members were familiar with combat and weapons and knew where to get more. Soon, they had an RV and were on the road, headed out of Macon. They'd heard about Atlanta, but figured it was overrun when they noticed the explosions. They'd planned to go to Fort Benning but they'd heard about that too. Now, they're just trying to find somewhere decent to stay. They find themselves in Milledgeville, GA. And, at first, lodge themselves up in the old Central State. That is, until someone brings up the college. Surely there must be supplies, maybe even survivors up there.
The RP will start as they find Central State. They'll probably stay there a few days before someone mentions the College, GC&SU. They may even eventually try for UGA to see if it's any better if GC&SU gets over run. Something we would need for this would be an antagonist of some kind besides the walkers. But that can be figured out later.
If you have any other ideas, let me know. I'd like to keep the RP in Georgia where the show takes place.
