Premise:
It's two days before the zombie outbreak, you are either enjoying your rather normal lives getting ready for school, or going to your long commute to work or just enjoying your day off. Going grocery shopping or going out on a date to Central Park with a cute or handsome person you found the night before at a bar. Life in city that never sleeps continues like normal really.
There have been a few weird stories of some riots going on in some third world country you probably never have heard of before. The government is sending humanitarian aid to them. There has been a few weird stories going out on some fringe websites saying that the world of coming to an end and the dead are rising, your basic weird conspiracy theories going on right? You might chuck it up as some weirdo making some weird stories and don't pay much mind to it really.
However the CDC has given some information on some new illness going around at some parts around world. Symptoms include a cough and high fever, bloodshot and or redness of the eyes and yellowing of the skin. However nothing in the US yet that are reported really yet anyway and are monitoring the situation as it unfolds. That at least is what the media is saying.
However in two days from now the world is going to end and the dead will be rising, where will you be when it happens? Will you try and survive on your own or will you find a group of people and try to survive and get out of the city with? Or will you become the next meal for the undead?

Character & Relationship Sheet:
Rules
*Rules are enforced and you will be removed if you break them.
- Applications:
- Post the CS in the OOC for review.
- Change the color code to a unique one (i.e. not in use by a current character). Please try to avoid colors that are very similar to the eye as well.
- Choose a faceclaim for your character that is not currently in use - if you're not sure if someone is using that FC, ask the GM. Faceclaims must be real life images - not drawings.
- The GM can refuse a concept for any reason, yet will generally work with you to fix up the character until they can be accepted.
- Talk to the GM if you want your character to have established connections (i.e. if this were a Harry Potter RP and you wanted to be Fudge's goddaughter, talk to the GM in advance for approval).
- GM approved character sheets should be posted in a hider in the Char tab.
- The GM will check posting history / previous RPs - you've been warned.
- Once CS's are approved, relation sheet will go up and must be completed and added to CS
- Under Extras in your CS please post a link to a post you have done in the past to show you have read the rules. If You submit a CS without this it may be declined.
- Special - To New Comers To The Guild - Pm The Gm for a tid bit to add under extras instead
- Post Content
- No use of racial slurs in posts. Sure, you may be playing a racist white guy from the 1950s, so just use asterisks - you'll convey the same idea.
- Nudity needs to be run by the GM before posting. In general, this is PG-13 when it comes to romance, sexual interactions, exposure, and so forth... Violence wise, anything goes. This can get gross.
- Fade to black for things that verge into the area of smut/other taboo subjects. Seriously. Your post will be deleted otherwise.
- The world and NPCs and events are controlled by the GM. If the GM says it's raining, then it's raining. Results will be randomized per dice mechanics.
- Posting & General Behavior
- Follow all of the rules of the forum - they're the law of the land.
- If you need an extension or you're struggling - or even if you just aren't certain what to do - please reach out to the GM! Communication is key.
- All posts are backed up on the back up forum after they have been posted - the GM will provide the link for this forum. It only takes a few seconds and it ensures all your hard work is preserved!
- You must post once every 7 days - once your last post on RPG reads as 8 days ago you will be removed from the RP.
- If you need an extension, ask!! Extensions should be requested no matter than when your last post reads as 6 days ago. If an emergency comes up on day 7, of course come and talk to us - we'll be more than happy to work something out. It's very rare that an extension request is denied.
- You may NOT copy and paste something from someone else's post and add it to your own. This includes dialogue.
- Minimal 2 posts between your last
- No editing posts without GM approval.
- Each post should include two well developed paragraphs (please don't make me define how many sentences are in a paragraph. If they're long sentences, then sure 5 is fine - if they're shorter, maybe 15 is best).
- Read all posts! Seriously, people are reading yours so spread the love and read theirs!
- No tagging for interactions in your post - people use this as a crutch usually to get away with not reading everything.
- Other:
- Character deaths will happen, no one is safe - it will be randomized and you will be notified when your death approaches. (This does not mean you are out of the RP, it will mean however you need to make a new character should you wish to continue - I recommend having Back Up Characters Ready)
- The GM reserves the right to make decisions as to how much additional time, if any, will be granted to post if the forum is glitching. A week to post is plenty of time even if the forum glitches a day or two. But usually, I do tend to be pretty generous about it...
- Rules and character sheet will be added to and changed as need be depending on problems or points that come up.
- Under Extras in the CS also mention your Favorite zombie show, movie, book, etc so I know you at least skimmed this...
Check the discord chat once a day. Invite will be provided by the GM.
