SITUATION

While Rick and his group are battling for their lives in the wasteland of Georgia, a small group of survivors band together on the wooded coast of Oregon. Their fortress - a an old pandemic research facility and hospital, Trenton's Research Facility of Contagious Diseases. This facility, dubbed Trenton, is around 120,000 square feet and surrounded by a four-acre plot of cleared land, which is in turn surrounded by miles of forrested area. Only five miles west of the facility lies the Pacific coast, where Walkers have been washing up for weeks.

Most of the patients and doctors that inhabited the facility have been wiped out, and they either wander the grounds or are being fended off by the survivors, who are in desperate need of supplies and weapons. Despite the site's condition and isolation, several non-doctor types had found their way here in search of a vaccine, cure, or any more of their own reasons. Mainly, to find sanctuary. However, in a world where the dead roam freely, no place is safe forever.

RULES

1. Be respectful, ethical, and use common sense.
2. You may kill off your own character and start new, but no killing others.
3. Keep the population of the facility relatively constant.
4. No sexually explicit material (duh).
5. Don't be an OP or a limelight hog, or you will bleed out the mouth and die a horrible death.
6. Incorporate the word "spoons" somewhere into your CS.
7. Have fun because its not you being munched on by the walking dead.

NOTICE(S)

Only two other doctors besides myself are welcome, so apply quickly if you want that position. Also, please please PLEASE try to keep the genders even. I know we all have our preferences, but think of the plot if there were just a bunch of women. The estrogen would strangle us all with its bloody hands.

CHARACTER SKELETON

NAME: first and last, please
AGE: between 8 and 40
SEX: just put something here, preferably your gender
APPEARANCE: please DEAR GOD be thorough, and NO pictures
PERSONALITY: All I need are a few adjectives if you must be so lazy (like me)
HISTORY: everyone has a story, so tell it (with detail, preferably)
SPECIAL SKILLS: what can he/she/it contribute to us, because "those who do not work do not eat"
ORIGIN: why are you at/coming to the facility
WEAKNESSES: how do we know this person isn't a Mary-Stu?
CHARACTER NOTES: anything else we should know? because I would like to know if your person is a blanket hog, so I can start picking bed buddies

MY CHARACTER

NAME: Michelle (Shell) Accart

AGE: 26

SEX: Female

APPEARANCE: stands at about 5'6" with a slender, non-muscular build and large curves that are modestly covered (in mostly medical uniform/labcoat), auburn hair that is kept in a messy bun (when down, it reaches a little below her shoulder blades), ivory complexion and round face, faint freckles stretching across her nose and cheekbones, a slightly jagged, white scar - about 2 inches long - stretches from just above her left eyebrow to the edge of her hairline

PERSONALITY: nervous by nature, but she can get into the zone pretty easily (except when the are zombies around of course), collaborates well, is a people person (unless these people are dead)

HISTORY: Shell was a well-off only child who lived in Chicago her whole childhood before moving to Rhode Island for college. She was an intern at the facility for about five months after graduating from Brown University on a masters degree in contagious diseases and medical science before "shit hit the fan". On some kind of bad-luck streak, her parents had been visiting her when everything went down, and were early victims of the Walker invasions. This gave Shell a (quite irrational) phobia of the Walkers, and her little-to-no combat skill render her almost useless on the field.

SPECIAL SKILLS: Master of medical science, extremely intelligent in all things disease-ridden, quick and rational thinker, collaborates well

ORIGIN: Was a doctor at the facility

WEAKNESSES: almost useless in the field, shaky firearm aim, liable to irrational action in the line of duty

CHARACTER NOTES: The scar on her forehead is an old Walker scratch that was almost immediately cleaned with strong, pure alcohol, therefore preventing much spreading.

ONE LAST THING

I'm begging you. KEEP THE GENDERS EVEN.

Quick question for my character, because it is a research facility of infectious disease, does that mean only patients that have had infectious diseases would have resided there or is it a general hospital that specializes in that?

Before everything went crazy, it was mostly a general hospital for patients with highly contagious, terminal diseases. An advanced quarantine, basically. There was a small period of time right before everything went down where patients with the "zombie disease" were housed in the facility. These patients have since been destroyed, or are wandering the place as a walker.

Hmm interesting starting to work up idea for a character

This work?

NAME: Sergeant John "Jack" Korrick
AGE: 27
SEX: Male

APPEARANCE: Korrick is around 5'8" tall. He has an athletic build and short brown hair kept in a neat crew cut. He has a square face with a prominent chin and brown eyes. He shaves often to keep a clean appearance. He wears his Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform and body armor in a similarly neat fashion.

PERSONALITY: Korrick takes his role as a Marine NCO seriously and applies this role to the survivor group. He see himself as responsible to keep them alive.
“...I will strive to be patient, understanding, just, and firm. I will commend the deserving and encourage the wayward. I will never forget that I am responsible to my Commanding Officer for the morale, discipline, and efficiency of my Men…” -USMC NCO Creed.
Korrick attempts to train the fellow survivors basic skills such as using and maintaining firearms and combat first aid. He talks with the others often and attempts to maintain a friendly relationship with them to keep morale up. Jack often suffers from sleep deprivation from staying on watch often.

HISTORY: He was born and lived in Detroit, Michigan most of his life. After graduating high school, Korrick joined the Marines at age 19. He was deployed on several tours to Iraq and Afghanistan, eventually reaching the rank of sergeant. When the outbreak occurred in America, he was deployed on US soil to assist in quarantines and evacuations.

SPECIAL SKILLS: Jack’s primary skills are those he learned as a Marine from shooting to navigation to making quick decisions under pressure.

ORIGIN: After being deployed, Jack was separated from his platoon and after a long while of walking stumbled upon the research center.

WEAKNESSES: His weaknesses include having almost no knowledge beyond the obvious of infectious diseases and at times disregarding his own well being for the sake of his men, or in this case, group.

Nice, I'm interested to see what other characters will be.

I'm going to start the RP, but if anyone wants to join in at any time, just post your CS here and wait for me to review it before joining in :)

-

Anyway, how are our characters in the facility doing for supplies? Also, what do they have weapons-wise. My character would have his M4 Carbine, but would we have any other firearms/weapons?

We are very low on supplies - especially any kind of solid food. Most of the patient stores were decimated within months of isolation. However, clean water is mostly available. We are completely devoid of weapons, with the exception being a couple of handguns that jad been confiscated from varoous people before the apocalypse and the scaples and various medical tools. Ammunition is the total of 8 bullets within the two handguns.

That isn't good. Although, Korrick would probably have at least one magazine remaining for his M4, as he would have been deployed with around 200 rounds of ammo, and his bayonet. So, they aren't totally lacking in weaponry. However, the food issue is going to become a problem fast.

Yes definitely. We have some apple sauce and jello and thats about it XD

Im sorry the first post may be a while.

I have started to make a CS should be done soon

Working on first post now.

Sorry, Hotel! (I know it's been like a week, but I figured I would just say so just in case) I'll have to step out of this one. I've kind of flooded myself with too many because I thought they would die, but as it turns out most of them are actually staying strong and with school I can't take on any more. I hope you guys have fun! <3

Hello anyone alive
