Left Behind



A zombie roleplay situated in a small neighborhood street


Hey y'all. It's Kuro, and I'm bored waiting for other RPs to kick off again so I figured to give myself something to do. I'm just kind of writing this as I go, though, so feel free to add any input or ideas you might have yourself.

This roleplay is your traditional zombie apocalypse, much akin to something like TWD or whatever. The world had just fell apart as a virus quickly spread and zombies began to eat people. Some places managed to be evacuated in time, others were bombed to ruin. Unfortunately, for our cast of characters, they happened to live in a tiny, insignificant town and were abandoned to the undead by the military, which had more pressing matters at hand and no resources to spare to evacuate such a small community.

Fast forward a few days or so. Maybe even weeks, I don't know. The town has grown quiet, save for the grunting moans of the walking dead. Luckily for the street, a surprising portion of the neighborhood have managed to survive the initial fallout; at least those that didn't evacuate themselves to wherever during the first few days. Everyone still has food, medicine and other resources, but supplies are finite. No one knows when the water and electricity will shut off, leaving the neighborhood's survival and future uncertain.

Perhaps it is time to work together with your neighbors, so you don't all starve or kill each other over slim pickings.

interested! i've been on a zombie kick myself recently. interested in the intended tone, though: would you say it's more gritty and down to earth like TWD or TLOU, or more loose and over the top like dead rising or zombieland?

The former. I've always preferred the more gritty than the wacky when it comes to zombie apocalypse settings.

Going to give this a bump. I was thinking since this is a neighborhood street focused RP, the sheets would be slightly different than the usual sheet. As in, instead of focusing on one character in question, they'd be modified for a family or the household.

I might be interested if my RP dosen't take off. How do you, motherfucking, feel about the supernatural at all, kindred? Because I'm down with that kind of stuff. I mean in terms of very low level: Like a supposed psychic playing with tarots and getting vague cards referencing something to come or happening that they couldn't know about or psychic that get vibes when something big is happening?

In terms of brain bursts, comrade. What if there are different zombie viral strains that take different periods of time - or conditions - to transform someone into a zombie. Like, we have the standard flu one that slowly just turns you into a zombie .But there are people who say...have a version of intense rash that only turns when they are actually killed. Maybe a few more, like maybe a parasite got exposed to the virus and somehow merged with it so when people get infected with that it alters what it does normally.

up the paranoia factor about anyone even slightly not healthy and make the means of pre-zombie spread infection more sinister. Maybe like you can have some roles for people pre-infected with these different/ less terminal/ less infectious cases or something.

No, no, and no. It's all too far out from what I intend on doing with this RP. I'm more looking for a standard, TWD-esque zombie apocalypse RP.

Expressing my explicit interest pending an OOC with more details. Big zombie scenario fan.

There'll be a bit more in the OOC to further establish the setting, of course. Not a *ton* of detail, but certainly more. Usually my interest checks are more detailed than this so I can just carry over the content/post to the OOC, but I've been trying to go for more minimalistic styles that I can hop in. I think it's easier for me to come up with ideas when I can essentially just toss darts at a board and get right into GMing a roleplay. "Plug and play", as a friend of mine put it.

I'll work on getting the OOC up by the end of the week provided nothing comes up.

It's been a long while since I've done a roleplay in this format, so I am interested, as well. ❀

Currently working on finishing the OOC and polishing it up for posting. If I have time I imagine it'll be up by the afternoon or possibly tonight.
