I had to remake this rp since I accidentally used an old account that I no longer wish to use. To be clear : Myst was my old account that I abandoned. Belle is the account I will be using from now on.



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.

So this is actually an RP I had from five years ago. It was my most successful and long lasting rp. I took a VERY long hiatus from rpg because of family and health issues. I have been wanting to return for a while now but this quarantine period has finally given me the time I need to return. I figure this is a fitting rp to return with.

The previous rp was set in Louisiana. I think I may set this one in Florida, somewhere on the coast or close to the Everglades. This will be a year after the outbreak started.

Rules :
1. No fighting in the OOC or Chat. 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. All ideas are welcome! If you have any ideas for major plot-related ideas, characters. locations, etc. then please PM either myself or my Co-GM(s).
6. 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 (once I get one).
7. 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 for a significant amount of time, then your character will be made an NPC and likely become a walker. If you want to return after that, you can make another character.
8. In that same vein, if you've been in the rp for some time and decide you want to go, the option for your character to become an NPC is there in case you ever return. Though NPCs are more likely to be killed off, the character just may be alive when you come back.
9. 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.
10. Please follow the posting rule (see below) If you do not, your post will be ignored.
11. I reserve the right to add more rules if needed.

@RedVII accepted. I’ll give everyone one more day to make their characters before starting the IC

NAME: Wesley Howe

AGE: 26

SKILLS: Hunting, Athleticism, Mechanic

PREFERRED WEAPONS: Remington 700 (.308 Winchester | 7 bullets; 5 round internal magazine), Pocket knife

PERSONALITY: Often, Wesley comes off as your stereotypical "good boy". Hardworking, and more willing to trust strangers than most, he refuses to abandon his humanity where others throw it aside for the sake of their own survival. The thought of taking advantage of others sickens him, knowing his pa would've whooped his ass had he done so. Keeping this mindset has cost Wesley in the past, with his gear and supplies forcibly taken or him being left to the walking dead, but a code isn't a code if you make no effort to live by it.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY: Wesley, or more commonly, Wes, was raised deep in the Oregon countryside among his younger twin sisters. Most of his childhood had been spent playing football and on hunting trips with his uncle, Jackson Palmer, who often brought his nephew along as thanks for helping him keep the family ranch in order. Little did Wesley know that he would miss these childhood memories when the world came to a halt whilst attending his friend's wedding as best man, trapping him in an unfamiliar land far from home. Now, all that matters to him is getting home to his relatives in the Pacific Northwest, hoping that they might still be alive.

@Kuro accepted! Thank you for joining.

I am still debating what character to do or bring back!

Where do you guys get your character photos from? Google isn't being very helpful in my searches for something suitable.

@Weeping Raven Funnily enough, google. If you're having trouble finding a FC, just google haircuts or try your luck with thispersondoesnotexist.com

@Kuro cheers mate, the haircut thing really works. Thanks for the tip.

Appearance :
Name : Ayla Alexander
Age : 29
Skill :
Runner - Ayla was a track and field athlete growing up, and even well into her adult life she maintained that lifestyle.
Spotter - Ayla is just good at noticing things, whether it's small things hidden from the naked eye or hearing something off even under a cacophony of noises.
Stealthy - A new skill Ayla had learned to develop. She's managed to get the slip on both walker hordes and blood-thirsty raider alike.

Preferred Weapons (up to three) :
Sling - A simple looking length of nylon that Ayla has fashioned into a sling. She can hurl anything from rocks, shards of glass, or really anything that could fit and has enough penetration power to go through a walker's head.
Rusty Machete - Ayla was lucky to find this weapon on an unlucky survivor. Though because Ayla doesn't know how to take care of weapons, it has some notches and rust on it.
Firecrackers - Not really weapons but still useful tools against the horde, or just something to cause a distraction.

Personality :
Ayla is just one of the many people who have survived the cataclysm and come out a darker person because of it. She's seen what both walkers and men would do to her if she isn't one step ahead of them, and as much as she doesn't want to think about it, she has willingly left others to suffer a fate worse than death to save herself. Ayla has no hesitation when it comes to doing things she's afraid of like fighting, scavenging, or just surviving. As long as she can survive she's willing to do anything, for good or ill, and she'll do her damn best at it.

Brief Bio : Ayla was married to a great man, and had two children. Her husband was a doctor and Ayla herself ran a daycare center where she'd raise her own children and many others. It was a tough job but Ayla was a tough woman, willing to do whatever she had to do to protect those children. But just because she had the will, doesn't mean that she would succeed. Because of her own hesitation, when one of the children were infected, Ayla was too late to stop the spread. She was naive and foolish. And what she saw that day changed her deeply. When she went home to find her husband it was already too late for him as well. Seeing the horrors ahead of her, all Ayla could do was run. Run, and survive.

@Norschtalen awesome! You’re approved. Gonna start the IC in a bit

Gonna start the IC in a bit

@Belle I'll start working on a cs today then. Sorry about posting in the wrong section, just me being stupid haha.

Think we might have actually done a walking dead rp together years ago as well?!

Name : Ethan Stanton

Age : 26

Skill : Construction, mechanics, boxing.

Preferred Weapons (up to three) : Steel hatchet, knuckle dusters, wooden compound bow.

Personality : Ethan is a very laid person, even after the outbreak. He daydreams a lot thinking about his life before, keeping himself smiling. He hates getting into dilemmas and having to deal with serious situations, still wanting to have a sort of easy life, which makes him a poor leader. Ethan also likes to try and keep peoples morale up in the group, it usually takes a lot for him to get angry or violent. One of his biggest fears is being alone which leads him to trust strangers when signs would tell other people not to.

Brief Bio : Ethan was born and raised in the north of England, just outside of the city, Leeds. From an early age Ethan was always a sporty child wanting to do all sorts of sports and activities. His two favourites were boxing and archery but when he became a teenager he gave up the archery wanting to spend more time with his friends. After he finished high school he went straight into construction with his Dad who also taught him to drive and the basics of fixing a car, he continued boxing semi-professionally. When he started to get paid he began to save up for a road trip of the US with his girlfriend.

When he turned 25 they flew to Maine, rented a car and started driving down the east coast. When the outbreak started they were in Miami, they managed to escape with a few other survivors and ended up in a town. A few months later, walkers swarmed the town, killing most of the people he'd gotten friendly with and his girlfriend. He managed to get a car and set off trying to find a new group.

@josephb Yup I remember. I thought your name looked familiar. Approved.

Name
Nathalie “Nat” Soltero

Age
27

Skills
- Stealth; being barely 5’3” on a good day helps a lot when trying to sneak past undetected.
- Climbing; one of Nathalie’s favorite hobbies was rock climbing with her friends, whether it was in the outdoors or in a gym.

Preferred Weapons
- Gator Machete 19”
- 9mm Berretta

Personality
Nathalie is a very reserved and cautious woman. Although her inner self wants to be optimistic and find the bright side in every situation, she has to continuously stop herself and tell herself to think realistically. Not being able to get in contact with her family and not knowing what happened with her little sisters eats away at her mental well being little by little. At times, it seems to overwhelm her, and the panic starts to set in. She is a very family oriented and being around other people can give her a bit of that feeling, although being alone doesn’t bother her anymore as it gives her time to try and figure out what her next steps are without having to worry about anyone else.

Brief Bio
Born in Chula Vista, California, Nathalie is the eldest of three girls. Her younger sisters are 16 and 14 and the three of them were unbelievably close before Nat left to college. FaceTime soon became their best friend as Nat pursued her education further on into her Master’s. Finding a job became all too easy and Nat fell into the typical 9-5 job before she knew it, unfortunately having to break it to her family that she would not be returning until the completion of her education and finding a transfer for her job. She kept a small group of close friends, choosing not to stray from the usual, and chose not to date. She led a simple life and wished for nothing more until the outbreak happened. [/center]

@wolverbells of course you are approved
