The world has been in ruin for almost a year now. Everyone knows how it started, it was all over the news when it happened. The government was researching a new found virus that they claimed would be able to extend the life of humans. Who knew it would raise the dead as these...monsters. After the virus had escaped the laboratory the bodies of the dead started rising all over America. And what's worse, when the came in contact with a living person, that person would also become infected. The virus spread like wild fire, and after only 2 months the US government shut down.

You and your group have been trapped in the middle of DC since this whole mess started. However, you've heard rumors of a safe haven that's been set up not to far outside of DC, the only problem, you're dead in the middle, far from the city outskirts. It's a dangerous journey, and you don't even know if the rumors are true, but you can't stay in this zombie filled city forever...



1. The GM will control the "world" (e.g. enemies, npcs, environment etc.)

2. No god modding

3. No controlling other people's characters

4. Try to keep swearing to a minimum

5. No 18+ stuff

6. No extremely dark themes (killing children, cannibalism, slaves, etc.) I know this is a post apocalyptic RP, but it can still be grim without it being that dark.

7. Every day your character will need to consume 1 pound of food and 1 water bottle (or an equal amount). If they do not do this they will begin to get sick, and eventually die.

I'll get the first post up once I get some players ;P

Bump

I was interested until the dice. If I wanted to play with dice I play craps.

Also if it is a year into the zombie apocalypse no character should have just their fists as weapons. Any character that survived that long has a weapon.

A year in anyone stuck in the middle of a city as big as DC is not very intelligent, Cities=Death.

can we do decimals so we can equally distribute our stats the first time around, also how do we get more stat points

I posted a character, but I am new to this, and slightly worried about the dice as well. I know it's not a complicated system you have in place or anything but I'm sort of confused as to how it would work without slowing the pace of the roleplay.

Okay, so based off all the post it seems most people don't want dice rolls/skill checks, so I have decided to remove them/

This isn't supposed to be uber realistic or anything, just a fun little cliche zombie survival RP ;P

Dude, firstly, you don't know how it would actually go down. It's a fictional disease/disaster. Being in a city when shit hits the fan doesn't necessarily mean you'll die. Secondly, if you are already in a city when it happens, it would be harder to get out because of everything going on, road blockages and zombies everywhere, so it's actually extremely realistic to have people stuck and holed up in a city. Third off, It also depends on what type of zombie you're dealing with, which would depend heavily on how the virus is spread, or if it's even a virus. AND LASTLY, make your own damn RP if you have so many complaints about this one. There is a vast difference between criticism and bitching, and your post falls under the latter category.

@TiredKhajiit Are you aware that the Characters tab is typically reserved for only Character Sheets, not for discussion ABOUT character sheets? It's much more tidy if you post only character sheets there, because now if I wanted to reference your CS or DrGerbils, I'd have to sort thru all the BS about changing the weapons and blah blah blah. Ever. Single. Time. It's just a minor inconvenience, it's not a huge deal, but it'll just make things a touch neater.

Also, next time you might want to let people on the Interest Check know that you have the OOC up, I had forgotten about this RP because you said that you were going to make an OOC but then didn't post the link. If my husband hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought to go to your profile and find the OOC from there. Just a tip to help you make sure that everyone who mentions interest in the IntCh gets notified so they can join in the fun. Also, you should post the OOC link on the first post in the IntCh

@bmxbrat484 Thanks for all the tips! Again, I'm very new to this whole thing, so I apologize for my "noobness" :P

@TiredKhajiit Thank you for not taking offense! I'm a very blunt person, and online it's hard to be blunt without coming across as rude ^^" Welcome to the guild noob nerd you beautiful human

Okay, so from now on CS should be posted on here, and then put in the characters area once they're approved :D

Edit: I also added the characters and who they're played by to the 0th post in the character area to try and keep things organized :)

Alright, I got the first post up. At this point we should all probably introduce our characters and have some idle chat before the RP really get's rolling ;)

Oh gosh, please don't let this RP die so soon. It only just started! :P

I'm still here my friend, is loua still participating? Some days I'm just a bit more busy than others but I'll always try to at least check and see if I can post something worthwhile.

Don't worry, it's all good :D

And yes, I believe loua is still participating.

Personality: Lilah is very suspicous as well as shy, and she can normally come off as uncaring. However, she is loyal to those she belives deserves it and can be quite cynical at times. She is intelligent and tends to think longer than normal before making an important decision. However, that can also lead to bad choices. When she is rushed, she panics and shuts down, endangering her own life and potentially others. She does have a generous side as well, especially for those she believes are in need.

Appearance: Lilah appears to be in her lower 20's. She has flowing, raven black hair, reaching down to just below her shoulders. She wears a beanie over the top of her hair, thought it streams out behind her. She is rather pretty but she doesn't smile often and her gaze can be unsettling with her ice-cold blue eyes. She is rather slim, tending to wear a hoodie with a long sleeved t-shirt underneath and a generic pair of jeans.

Weapon: A simple handgun.

Inventory:
- 3 water bottles
- 2 pounds of food
- Cloths
- 10 feet of rope
- 1 roll of duct tape
