The Walking Dead : Among the Ruined

ALWAYS ACCEPTING
When hell gets full, the Devil lets the dead walk the earth...


So this is a walking dead style rp. There will be action and gore and zombie killing, but mostly this will be about the twists and turns, the drama, the heartache and the joy of moral decisions that have both good and bad consequences.
Everything you do and say will have consequences further down the line. The walker you killed yesterday was actually the mother of the person you met today. That guy you refused to give food? He came back as a walker and killed your best friend. That little boy you helped? He came back with a large group to steal your supplies. Each choice is life and death. Don't ever get too comfortable, because you never know when things will go to hell.
Of course... it's already there...

Rules :
1. No fighting in the OOC. I mean it. You get one warning, then your characters gets killed off and you are banned from the rp.
2. No overpowered characters. It's okay to have weapons, but not everyone is survival trained and can make a rocket launcher with a pocket knife, some string and a potato. Be realistic with your characters skills and their weapons.
3. Gore is fine, but romance (if there is any during a zombie apocalypse) goes to PM. Anything above kissing goes to PM.
4. Killing of characters must be agreed upon.
5. Before making any game changing decisions please pm me to ask or discuss it in the OOC before posting it. This does not mean I need to make every decision for you, but MAJOR plot twists need to be approved by either me or my Co-GM(s).
6. You can have as many characters as you can handle. Do not ignore anyone and post regularly. If you can't post for a couple of days, let us know so we can move around your character. If you do not post in the IC or OOC or PM me for four days straight your character will be killed and become a walker. If you want to return after that, you can make another character.
7. People will die. It's a zombie survival rp. If I PM you about your character dying please do not be upset. I am not picking on you or singling you out for any other reason then to add drama and keep the story random and interesting. You can always make another character, but if you are dead set on keeping you character alive I will not kill them without your consent.
8. It might seem strange to have this rule but I have run into problems with this in the past so I am going to say it right off : NO ONE IS IMMUNE. This is not "The Last of Us" this is a "The Walking Dead" rp. There is no cure and there is no immunity to the zombie virus. Everyone already has it. Your character can be working on a cure, but that is all.
9. I reserve the right to add more rules if needed.

Anyone who wants to Co-GM this with me just let me know in the OOC or PM me. First come first serve. Depending on how many people join I might have one or two Co-GMs that I will discuss everything with.
I am in this for the long-haul, so I ask you to please not join unless you plan on being in this for a while and will contribute to the story. I have seen too many good rps die from people joining and never posting.

CS:

Appearance : (please no anime pics. portraits are fine as long as they are realistic)
Name :
Age :
Skill : (are you good at medicine? cooking? electronics? hunting? marksman?)
Weapon (up three): (anything you can realistically have)
Personality : (good and bad points)
Brief Bio : (we are not going to know much about each other at first so only a brief history, such as what they were doing before the outbreak, is fine)

Let's have fun with the end of civilization, shall we?

Hey there, Myst. I think I'd be interested in joining this Hellhole you are settling here. I may as well give you a Character Sheet:


(Don't worry, It's not from an anime. It's actually a very detailed CGI animation from a videogame.)

Name: Jack "Mr. Grimm" McKormack
Age : 45
Skill : He's a master and expert at hand-to-hand combat, and is somewhat good with using weapons, but he prefers a knife, a machete or anything that is melee everyday. He is also a very good medic.
Weapon (up three): He has a hunting machete and a sickle.
Personality : He's not a very nice person at all, he is usually rude and uninterested towards anyone and won't show any compassion at killing you if turn into a zombie. But other than that he's a very trustworthy person, one of the greatest things he learned when serving the army.
Brief Bio : Jack had served the U.S army for more than twenty years. He started as a simple medic, inside a tent and treating and curing every soldier that was sent injuried into his workplace. However, fifteen years working as a medic twisted his mind a little, and he developed a craving to see how people where sent there, why their flesh failed to stop the bullets or how it broke from the edge of a knife. He was sent on a mission to the south-american jungle to treat with some terrorists. There, he met his best friend, Benny. He was a person Jack felt like he was really comfortable with. Benny had two sons, and he had to go back home. It was actually his last mission. However, in the middle of the mission, they were ambushed in a corn-field, and one of their troopers stepped on a land-mine, detonating it and sending everyone into the air. The terrorists were alerted and a slaughter started with Jack unconscious and on the verge of dying. When he woke up, the dead corpse of Benny laid next to him, his eyes open and showing how life had escaped them. Fueled with rage and anger, he stood up and grabbed a sickle he found around and proceeded to kill the remaining terrorist who were unaware of the stealth menace they were facing. Since then, he was deemed "Mr. Grimm" by the army itself, and he was discharged for mental insanity. Shortly after he came back home, he found a skeleton in a hospital whose skull was suspiciously particular to Benny's, so in honor to his deceased partner, he stole the skull stitched it to his head to show how sorry he is for his death. Now, he just roams the the wastelands of the ravaged city with the bloodied skull on his head, still believing the skull is actually his friend's one.

While I am happy to see you Mortimer, I have a question about your character.
He is very badass and we do need some of those in a zombie apocalypse, but could you maybe tone it down just a little? I mean taking his friend's skull and putting it on his own head would work in another rp, but it doesn't seem very realistic for this one.
The picture is absolutely fine. I juts didn't want drawn images or anime because this isn't going to be a cartoon. But if it looks real then it's fine.
I like the fact that he is a medic because we are definitely going to need one.

Hmmmm...let me see...it is just that....Mr. Grimm sporting a human skull is already one of his most descriptive traits...and taking it off would certainly diminish the character's seriousness. Plus...the helmet does show the character has quite a story. But...if you are uncomfortable with having it in the RP...I can re-do all the Bio part.

not the skull helmet part, just that it was his friend's skull, You can still use it, just not as his friend's actual skull. He could have made the skull in honor of his friend, maybe?

sweet. thank you :) *hugs*
now to sit and wait for others...
*whistles*

you can be a kid (like Clem from the game) but just be keep that in mind when making their skills / weapons. A child will not be as strong as an adult and will not be a weapons / combat expert.

You are welcome. Please, check your inbox. I actually twisted Mr. Grimm's story as to fit this RP more, but it explains a lot more. In case you are interested in Grimm.

Appearance :

Name : Jack ‘Sully’ Sullam

Age : 34

Skill : Medicine (At a doctors level) and Psychiatry.

Weapon (up three): A number of scalpels from the hospital he worked at and a small hatchet from his shed.

Personality : Sully is a realist, he always looks to help others and is a nice guy however if the situation looks detrimental to his own survival his vote will always be the other direction. He finds it difficult to trust people and that has only got worse with the outbreak. He is quite the father figure, despite being short and too the point, and after the outbreak first occurred managed to save a group of children who were in the paediatrics at his hospital however he doesn’t talk about the since the ‘incident’.

Brief Bio : Sully used to be a doctor at a large hospital, he lived alone and had no family after his parents died and his brother ran off to ‘make his fortune’.

EDIT: Hope it's okay.

Appearance : (Still looking for one, why is it so hard to find pictures)

Name : Rob O'Dara

Age : 24

Skill : Cooking

Weapon (up three): Good old baseball bat, and a large knife

Personality : Is somewhat friendly to people who he somewhat knows on the outside, but is still wary with people, which of course he won't tell them. He does try to get people to be friendly, seeing as it can help him and probably the person who's he is talking to. However, while he may be friendly, if you get bitten, he won't hesitate to kill you.

Brief Bio : Parents of farmers, Rob opened up a small café with his brother, after the outbreak, he was separated from his brother. Wandering around, he tried to find him. Eventually he just gave up, surviving becoming the main priority. He still hopes he will find him eventually (Anyone interested in playing him, go ahead) All the time he had been alone, he may find groups, but he tends to leave them as they be.
