All are welcome! No prior knowledge of Dead Island required.
The island of Banoi, a place of mystery and wonder, a lush island paradise off the coast of Papua New Guinea. This island holds many secrets and wonders, and most of the island has remained secluded from the outside world for centuries. Despite this, Banoi has become a famous tourist attraction, its' hotel and beach resort attracting people from all across the world. None would expect this tropical paradise to harbor a darker and more evil side to contradict its welcoming and friendly front.
When a sinister plague breaks out that transforms much of the island population into mindless flesh eating creatures, this lush paradise retreat is transformed into a hell on earth amidst tides of blood. Cut off from the outside world and for all they know abandoned, those who have survived the initial outbreak must fight to survive. Surrounded by hordes of the infected and abandoned by the outside world, it is survival of the fittest for the people of Banoi. Though beware, the infected are not the only predators of this ravaged resort....
ABOUT THIS ROLEPLAY
Players will role as a tourist survivor of the Kuru Virus outbreak that has effectively zombified much of the island population. Players will begin in the islands' hotel resort, awakening the morning after the infection much like the player characters in the game do. Finding the hotel without power and in places overrun by cannibalistic creatures (zombies), players must first escape from the hotel and elude the zombie hordes that have overrun the resort. From there, they will make their own path and fight to survive. Players can ban together or go it alone. In all honesty, feel free to remain in the hotel if you'd like, perhaps with the idea of hunkering down until help comes. The entire island, aside from the Prison, is open for players to free roam and explore.
NPC/AI characters will appear and aid player characters, and will even offer tasks or quests to players. Safe houses can be constructed and defenses erected. AI/NPC's will also have safe houses of their own, but be warned, not all those who have survived will be welcoming to strangers.

CREATING YOUR CHARACTER
CREATING YOUR CHARACTER
While there are guidelines to creating your character, I also tried to make CC somewhat laid back as to allow freedom. Characters can effectively be from any nation/state in the known world. Characters CANNOT be local residents of Banoi itself. The closest thing to a local that one can be is an Australian or New Zealand citizen, as Banoi is within coastal range of Papua New Guinea and is part of the Australian continent.
Characters can be along any line of skill or profession EXCEPT active military, special forces, or any sort of government agent. Ex-military or active or retired police force is however acceptable. I mean it, no Navy SEALS on furlough or active KGB operatives with a secret weapon stash in their private jet they flew in. VIP security detail are allowed, but please, no silenced HK’s with a grenade bandolier under your blazer jacket. Just please...
I apologize if character creation seems rather sandbox. But the theme here is “vacation tourists trapped on zombie island” basically. Not Sylvester Stallone and Hugh Jackman going on a zombie slaying campaign while FFDP blares over unseen speakers.
