We've all been a part of those roleplays where there is an insane amount of overpowering characters who kick ass left, right and centre, are detached from all emotions and are seemingly immune to injury or weakness. Watching The Walking Dead the other night had me thinking, would I survive in a zombie apocalypse? Not a character I created but me, at this very moment. If I were to awake tomorrow and find the world in such a state, how long would I survive with the skills and provisions that I have right now? Needless to say, the thought led to the idea of this roleplay. You will play as yourself in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Age and name can be changed if you prefer to keep such things private but the rest is all raw and honest. Think about your physical abilities and endurance. How long would you be able to run for? How well would you be able to take a beating? If you were to get in a physical skirmish with someone or with a walker, how would you be able to handle it? Think about your defensive and offensive skills as well as the weapons you currently possess. What are your firearm skills if you have any? How well can you use a melee weapon like a hammer or a crow bar? Do you currently own a gun? Knives? Any other weapons that you own? Personality and back story would also be yours, although you may chose to change/leave out a few details in your backstory for security reasons. Your actions in the RP will be accurate to what you really think you'd do in real life and even your social skills will be based on your own.

So there's my idea. Basically put, a zombie apocalypse that you personally are put into, seeing how long you will survive. I have not personally seen this approach before so it should be interesting to see how it will play out if this idea takes off.

So...any biters? (no pun intended. Just kidding, pun always intended.)

I would join, but after asking myself that question I would probably walk into a closet full of the buggers on the first day.

I join as well, let's see how fast my clumsiness gets me killed!

I'm interested as well.

Haha. Someone tried to start one of these awhile back and it completely fell apart. I am down to try again though. Count me in!

Yes, I diminished earth's supply of popcorn as I watched that fall apart. I almost joined that one too. Maybe this one will turn out better so I'll say I'm interested.

Interested xD

Hmm... The only issue I can see is that we would need to thoroughly define what the zombie's abilities are (there are many different types of zombies out there, whether these ones can run fast or slow, etc.), and also the volume that they would be in (because if we decide that for ourselves, we would be able to "narrowly avoid" the zombies whenever we feel threatened, which would make us lose that interesting aspect of desperation).

I think it sounds like a very interesting concept though, and if we can find a way then I would love to participate! :D

I would die very quickly, though... Haha. ^^"

This is a very interesting concept. Count me in!

I saw it try to begin but didn't follow it. Why did it collapse?

Am sure I won't survive past day three. I wear glasses/contacts, 'nuff said.

I'm super interested, I've been looking for a good zombie role play and this definitely is an interesting concept. As for what kind of zombies there should be, if they can run, we're all as good as dead seeing as they have an infinite amount of stamina and we unfortunately do not. Either way you have my interest.

It's great to see all the interest! As for the type of zombies, I was thinking just your average walkers, because we'd all be done for otherwise. Unless a lot of you would rather use specialized zombies. I'm open to suggestion.

I would totally love to join! I've never been so thankful for learning archery... and still having my bow and arrows in my closet...

@Fillet The way most RP's do. It just . . . *waves hand in the wind* withered away.

Ok... I'm down for basic walkers! :) This sounds really fun, actually!

There seems to be a lot of interest, when are you planning on making an OOC? No rush, of course. @czechmate46

Good thing I have plenty on melee weapons available to me in my garage and the physical strength and endurance required to use them for and extended period of time. Color me interested in seeing how long I would survive.

I do see that there's a lot of interest which is great. Seeing as the next few days are rather hectic for me, I'll try to have the OOC up by tonight.
