Sure thing. For everyone else that has expressed interest, the deadline will be on February 5th or the 4th. It will depend if everyone is done with their sheets.

Awesome @Star Lord!

"I'm looking for a small group"

gets 3k applications

2500 koreans

That's a lot of military vets, too.

Well one's homeless, the other one's elderly, and Eliza isn't open about it. So it seems fair enough to me.

When someone with an anime avvie gives an opinion on something


But beyond the memeing I have to agree to a degree. I think the two old guys get a partial pass because old, but yeah that is a lot of vets to go along with a lot of koreans.

yo what? we can green text on here??

To be honest, seeing a ton of military characters does put a damper on things, particularly because of my tendency to dislike such tropes in survival horror/post apocalyptic settings, but ultimately it is @Star Lord's call.

It’s a trope when it’s shoehorned into a character and the writer isn’t capable of making that characters story interesting without constantly relying on the “trope.” We’re talking about people that fought for their country and moved on with their lives not actively serving military members that walked off base with an armory during the apocalypse.

It shouldn’t matter what they were before the story started. It’s all about what happens after it starts.

hate on anime all u want but u know the anime avatar is right

I've just seen too many people making military-esque characters to abuse that concept ICly because they want to be a badass in a zombie apocalypse. In the end, it tends to detract from the whole "survival feel" that one gets from zombie roleplays. We're playing survivors; not STARS from RE or Richtofen's group from CoD's zombie mode.

I understand the worry about having so many military/vet characters in a survival horror, but two of the three vets asked if they could be one. One of the reasons that I said yes was because of their age. They weren't going to be thirty years old that came back from service and is ready to kick ass. And I felt comfortable enough to see their character sheets. Of course, they aren't automatically accepted. Nobody is accepted. Me and Euphonium will be reviewing every character and judging them based on whether or not they will fit in with the roleplay and how much work and care you put into your characters. After all, we are looking for a small number of people for this roleplay.

And with that, I am announcing that nobody else can apply to be a military vet. We already have two of them. @Prizrak, I am afraid that you have to be only a police officer. Because you didn't ask either me or Euphonium if it was alright that you could make a military vet that's a police officer. Plus, I am worried about Eliza becoming OPAF due to her having both military and police exp. It is fine if you want Eliza to be an police officer but you can't be a vet. You don't need the military to join a police department just that you are in good shape and pass the physical and psychological test.

I’ll just edit military out of her sheet.....done. Better?

I found this waaay to late. Ahh well, I'll definitely be up for reading along once it starts!

There's still a few days left until the deadline. The CS isn't that long.
