Welcome to Rushford, Ohio. Population: 1,357 and plummeting.

It has been roughly a week since the Michigan-Ohio border blockade imposed by the Ohio State Police to halt all travel between the states had collapsed, and only mere days since the village of Rushford had fallen to the walking dead.

In a desperate attempt to flee the pandemic, panicked civilians from Michigan and the nearby city of Toledo would ultimately bring forth Rushford's collapse into anarchy. The few roads in and out of the village were completely blocked off by an influx traffic whilst local mom and pop businesses were broke into and looted by those looking to survive the coming apocalypse. Completely Unprepared for the chaos, the three officer force of uthe local RPD was quickly overwhelmed with calls for help and, in turn, were unable to react in a timely manner as the outbreak reached critical mass within the small village.

No one knows who fired the first shot, but by then, the end of the world had truly begun.

Now, a week later into the apocalypse, a small group of survivors sheltered in a diner have been hearing strange broadcasts on the local radio about an old summer camp on the other side of the Maumee River that is said to be zombie-free. Eager to find shelter and safety from the dead, the group is ready to leave for greener pastures, but will they be able to escape Rushford and cross the river with their lives before then?


This roleplay is part of a shared universe created by @Inkarnate and I, taking place during a zombie outbreak in a fictional village inspired by Midwestern American influences some miles outside the city of Toledo, Ohio during the year 2019. Unlike most post-apocalyptic roleplays, the story itself will remain largely linear with accepted characters working their way out of Rushford and to the promised land of a zombie-free summer camp.

As the roleplay begins, the infected will be no more than the slow-moving, brainless dead that the characters might think of when they hear the word "zombie". However, as time progresses in-character, the dead will gradually mutate into special variations with their own unique strengths and weaknesses.

Though this roleplay is about a zombie virus spreading across the Midwest, it will remain semi-realistic and therefore some archetypes are outright banned or looked down upon. The characters are not hardened zombie killers; they're just everyday people trying to survive the apocalypse.

Current Hard Bans: Anything to do with military (active duty, reserve, military spouse, retired veteran, etc). Any "badasses" with souped up weapons or running around with katanas and similar "cool, fun" weapons.

Potentially Avoid: Anyone with a police, hunter archetype or general firearm-related background. These types of characters are allowed, but will be looked with more scrutiny than other sheets.

Additionally, given that this roleplay is based in a fictional village, here are some places of note in Rushford and the surrounding area. More will be added should they become relevant to the roleplay.


Finally, this roleplay will require at least a post roughly each week, give or take a few days for real life issues. These posts have no set minimum as to how many paragraphs you must write, although longer and higher quality posts are definitely preferred over short burst replies. Other than that, the only rules for this roleplay are the obvious: don't be a dick, have fun, etc. If you're interested, the character sheet is below, but if this isn't your cup of tea, then thanks for reading and have a good rest of your day.

@Inkarnate Fix the high school issue I mentioned in DMs. Otherwise, accepted.
@silvermist1116 Accepted.
@Dio Accepted.
@Typical imagine being on a softball team second rate to the stockbridge dragons Accepted.
@Skelm Accepted.
@role model Couple issues with this sheet. 1) Resize Henry's FC; it's absolutely gigantic and could be smaller. 2) There is a rule against military characters, so you would have to remove his two years of military service. 3) The coding is botched in some places (such as missing indents) which needs to be fixed. 4) You have multiple colors listed for Henry. Choose one and stick with it by replacing the other color sections with the color code to keep things uniform. 5) Please put the sheet in a hider. 6) Not an issue, but I'm also interested in why he has a megaphone. Otherwise, accepted.

I will gladly change my color if it conflicts, I've got some alternates. As of right now it seems a bit too close to @Dio so I'll probably change it to a color not used but is present in my character image.

Random thought but I just noticed how many characters have names that start with the letter K.

Henry and unannounced GM character must conform to the precedent.

She already does tbh

Still need to finish updating her to the newer sheet, but I'd rather get the RP rolling first.
