I should of gotten my post finished earlier since people are at the bar already (ended up starting him out there, but wandering off to try and get back to the campus).
Also, shouldn't we use the character sheet tab or no?
Looks great honestly, was expecting it to be kind of cheesy. I just wish the chess-pieces (characters/enemies) were colored-in, instead of gray or red. Regardless, I'll probably buy it when it releases.
Hey guys, sorry for slow responses, I just got back from a wedding in another state.

@Savo Just post your CS here or PM me it and I will add it to [Meet the Cast]. I think what bogs down most RPs is having to submit a stack of papers before the actual RP even starts. I just don't see the point, especially if someone is going to quit the RP anyway. Also the setting of this RP lends itself to a "less permanent" presence by the players, since we can all just assume the player died if they no longer take part in the story. :P
@Dark Lugia I dont suppose there is any more room?
@Dark LugiaI'm finally well enough to make a character and try to join. Let me know what you think of my character, I hope she's acceptable.
Name: Ceder Birch Age: 17 Gender:Female Occupation: High School Student/Medical Test Subject Sanctuary: [JACK'S BAR] PREFERRED WEAPON CHOICE?: Anti-BOW Weapons/Biochemicals [HP: XX/XX](Preferably low)
Slot 1:empty Slot 2:empty Slot 3:empty Slot 4 Memento: Unknown Medical Data: A folding clipboard containing various notes regarding the medical tests done to her. They're written in medical lingo that she's unable to make heads or tails of, leaving them indecipherable to her.
How did your character get stuck in Raccoon City?:
Ceder has lived in Racoon City all her life. Despite that she’d been incredibly estranged from her parents since she was very little. They were always working as they were important researchers for a large pharmaceutical company based somewhere out of the city. As a result they spent almost no time looking after her, often leaving her with friends or hiring people to look after her.
She attended high school in Raccoon City, struggling to meet friends, often embarrassing herself trying to fit in with others. Art and video games, especially those with powerful female protagonists and outrageous weapons, were a great focus and comfort for her.
A little over a month before the outbreak Ceder called her parents, asking if there was anyway she could help them or get involved with their work. It was a move made out of desperation but Ceder was surprised when they offered her a job as a clinical test subject. There was a tremendous amount of paperwork to fill out and a constantly reinforced air of secrecy.
For 30 days Ceder was kept isolated in a room and given regular injections of something, then ran through various tests at equally regular intervals. Her health rapidly began to degrade. She grew weaker, began experiencing headaches, body pains, and severe nausea. However around the third week her health improved somewhat and evened out. Not getting any better, but seemingly resistant to getting any worse.
Ceder became eager to leave, growing fearful of her condition and the tests being done to her. However those performing the tests barred her from leaving even when it was her agreed upon time to do so. For a time Ceder remained trap, until a disruption at the facility allowed her to escape and flee into the city. By the time she got outside and changed out of the patient gown she'd been stuck in Raccoon City had turned into a nightmare and she still felt sick...
Would you also consider RPing as a Zombie/other undead beast periodically throughout the RP?:YES
Should I delay my next IC post so we can wait for more players to join the RP? Or should I just steamroll ahead to the RPD and everyone that hasn't already joined the RP can play catch-up to our group?
I'd prefer if players avoid spending more than 1 IC post in a Sanctuary. For my character, Will Sampson, I will only spend 1 IC post at a time in a Sanctuary before heading off to a [Mission] or other locale. There just isn't all that much to do in those [Starting Locations] except regroup our teams, but I also don't want to discourage anyone from character-development.
I have an IC post ready to post, but am delaying it due to the fact that we're still "waiting" (hoping?) for more players to make their Intro posts. In addition, more players/survivors have recently expressed their interest via PM as well, so we may have fresh faces joining the cast.
@Dark Lugia I would say wait, at least for about 1-2 days since it's almost the weekend.
And in regards to the sanctuaries, I would say there would have to be more than one post, unless we collaborate over it. While I do say the missions are one of the more main aspects, spending one post in sanctuary probably won't be enough for some character development within an environment where you're trying to avoid death.
Plus, there will be bouts of down time between missions and our characters will need some sleep. So in my opinion, I would say have at least 1 - 3 posts depending before we jump in for another mission, and another for the end of the day when we really don't have any more missions to do/are too tired to do any more missions.
Just my thoughts on it all... also, you forgot to review Cross' cs.
I don't care either way. Already been waiting a while so waiting a bit more won't kill me...maybe.
As for sanctuaries...well I'd like to make a sanctuary defended XD Jack's bar has some big windows low to the ground and he's but one slow old man with a slow loaded weapon :p

Other people might be just as bad or worse than zombies if there are looters around. Along with that, there's food to worry about as well... maybe. I'm pretty sure Jack didn't stock up on an official zombie apocalypse pack :P
Plus, our characters do know that there might be another safe place thanks to Jack's off-handed comment, so the characters will need to manage and help both places a bit... even though they do need to escape.
I would say that they should find some of the weapons while scavenging around. Along with that, it was mentioned Jack had access to an RPD Radio; that could be the driving case that leads them to the police station - to reestablish a plausible connection with them. I mean, it probably will take a bit to find all the items, but they could probably head to the RPD and spoof up with protection as well in one day... essentially I'm in agreement with the turtling option.
Funn thing...you'd be surprised at how many people have guns in their cars :p Wouldn't hurt to smash a few windows if someone doesn't have a slimjim. (Tool that slips between window and rubber seal to open locked cars without keys)
