Hello (Still accepting, go to OOC page)

With the new Fear TWD coming up this month I thought it be cool to run an RP based on the new series. If you haven’t heard, the new series follows the drama of a broken family, struggling through the unfolding events of the onset of the outbreak in LA. What is intriguing about this is that we’ll see, for the first time, the events that lead to the breakdown of society as a whole. And that is what I want our RP to be based on. We won’t be explaining the virus, I think the mystery will remain equal to the series, the RP is about people, which is the heart and what we love most about TWD.

In my head, the way I see it working, I play the government, the CDC, FEMA, and the generals trying to contain the situation. Mainly I will be the news and your source of information regarding all things government. You, will play the people that will shape the RP, telling their stories from their perspective, as society crumbles and a forced evolution begins to take hold - survival of the fittest mentality. But, though the government is functioning at the start of our RP, it will not be consistent. Because this is not about them, it is about the people.

Could be interesting. I'll keep an eye on it.

Okay, so I worked up an intro and included a breakdown of how things will develop in the five weeks of the onset. We know for a fact that the new series starts five weeks before the original series, and that it took five weeks for the world to crumble. We'll be following that same time line. What will be different for us is that we'll be set in New York instead of LA.

FEAR. It took five weeks for the world we know to end. A pathogen highly contagious and all but undetectable enter earth’s atmosphere. It seeped into all of creation - invisible, odorless, and tasteless it tainted all. By the time patient zero felt the first sore throat millions of people were already infected.

Week One – Hospitals reached capacity. And the panic begun.
Week Two – Quarantine zones were established, resources were rationed, and transports come to a close.
Week Three – International trade discontinued. Oil wells dried up. And the stock market collapsed.
Week Four – Power failed, store shelves emptied, and the water tap ran dry. Hunger and despair set in.
Week Five – Chaos.

The walking dead gave way to the widespread outbreak of an unknown disease. Millions were infected within a single day after coming in contact with the contaminated. By Saturday, thousands of people had checked into hospitals across the nation, many of which were already past capacity and unable to assist any of their patients. They complained of intense pain, migraines and hallucinations and some began to exhibit mild bouts of violence. It wasn't until a patient killed a nurse and attempted to eat her flesh that people began to realize what they were dealing with.

What followed soon after was the swift collapse of our society. Within a few weeks, quarantined zones took over major cities and transportation to and from was shut down. Power went out, supply was lost, men and women who were sworn to protect were no where to be found. By week four, everyone had taken to looting and killing as they established the new rule of survival of the fittest. This was the onset of the walking dead.

Walking Dead i'm interested. :)

Good! If we get at least two more interested I'll open the official page.

I'm very interested in this. :-) Love a realistic TWD rp.

I'm up for it.

Great! I'll set it up. I have a question for all of you @AbysmalDemon,@Nallore, @StuartM, and @Dirty Dan. Would you guys like to play as one family unit, or introduce your own family unit?

I'll probably play my own family. A grandpa and grandfather, and their grandson. - with the grandson being my actual character.

@Xistina I might make a single family though maybe two sisters the older one being my main character.

Okay. Individual families it is. I already have most of the intro written. I should have it up within a couple of hours. Will post link once I do.

Hi! I come back to RPG for the first time in a year to see if the place has picked back up since the big "shutdown" and this is the first thing I see! If this still has room, I am more than interested. :)

Welcome back, @Lady Squee. I've been away myself, something like four months since I last visited here. Once the official page is up I'll link it.

Woah, we can tag people now? That is nifty! Thanks for the welcome. :) Welcome back, yourself. Excited to see the op!

@Lady Squee Welcome back Squee! :) I remember seeing your name around in the old guild. :)

@AbysmalDemon@Nallore@StuartM@Dirty Dan@McHaggis@Lady Squee OOC is up

Everyone else interested please go to the OOC for more information.

I am giving this a bump because I'm still looking for more players.
