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

<Snipped quote by Kazemitsu>

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... (the outbreak was quite sudden inside Raccoon City, so many of the grocery stores were only partly-looted before citizens died/escaped/went into hiding. Fortunately, zombies do not shop for groceries, only brains.)

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.
