[OOC] Dying Light

[CorruptedShadow]

When I get to Chicago, I'm going to finish my CS. I'm travelling by car...what a bother. I'm leaving at 12:00 EST. Virginia Beach to Chicago. -Sound of a million groans-

[Emuxe]

And this, my dear minionsfriends, is why you don't do CS stuff when you should be sleeping.
I'll fix it later.

Still, my Parkour owns all you bitches.

[Nightwing]

Glad to see you're as competitive as ever Emuxe.

As an update, I am glad to say that the skills will be done today. I have been rather busy, but now I have just enough time to apply the pre-made edits. The overall OC sheet changes should be done around 7:30-8:00 p.m EST. Thank you in advance to all that have stayed, and edited along the way, as well as those that have joined in. When all of the PC's are taken care of, I will get started on posting the IC.

Good night Good luck

[Tearstone]

[CorruptedShadow]

I AM IN CHICAGO. AGHHH. It's cold as hell here.

Y'all wouldn't love me if I wasn't.

Suppose we should post our CS again, so...

Here's Aleccio Mk. 2! ^.^

CS Mk. 2

Name: Aleccio Ricci de Luca

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Description/Appearance:


Weapons: A metal pipe.

Equipment:
His always trustful glasses, and a little cloth to clean them
A backpack filled with spare boxers, some food and energy drinks.
A flashlight.
A box of matches.
A lighter.
Deodorant.

Personality: He was your plain, ol’ gamer, before sh*t went down; he wouldn’t have passed as someone extraordinary. Now, though, he has been able to survive due to his cold and calculative thinking and incredible intellect, he doesn’t care what happens to others as long as he can be safe. He isn’t one to hesitate when it comes to decisions, weighing them and choosing which one will have the best outcome is something that is accomplished rather quick. However, he fears not so much of the undead, but he cannot withstand other living people. Anxious by nature, it is more than hard to approach him and not make him jump. Cocky and arrogant when first met, but as soon as people get aggressive, he becomes defenceless as a kitty.

Attributes:
Strength: 2
Stamina: 2
Health: 4
Dexterity: 7
Sense: 10
Charisma: 0

Skills:
Barter: 0

Lockpicking: 4

Parkour: 1 (0 plus 1 in Sta)

Gunning: 8 (6 at first, plus 2 in Dex and Sen)

Melee: 1

Technical: 15 (9 plus 6 of Sen)

Automotive Machinery: 3

Stealth: 7

Survival: 5

Brief Bio: What can be told about his life? Nothing much, really. He is a guy lucky enough to have been born inside a family that, if not rich, at least could handle its own in this world. He went to school and finished college, graduating as an engineer in computational systems. Due to his love for videogames, such a career was almost a given. After graduating he didn’t do much of his life. Getting a good job, travelling from time to time, things of the like.

In fact, his second favourite thing became travelling after taking quite some trips around the world. The next time he was able to leave the country, he had a place already in mind. Havana, Cuba. He didn’t expect things to go to hell as fast as they did. He felt somewhat blessed to have picked such a destination for what may as well be his last trip. It wasn’t between his calculations that the virus would reach Cuba as fast as it did, though.

Anything needs changes, just say the word. :P

Could be just me, but I was under the impression that for every three in both Dexterity and Sense you gained one in Gunning, not for every three in Dexterity and Sense.

[Emuxe]

No, they're separate.

[Wizard]

Amended my character sheet to include skills and a new image that better coincides with the character's personality. The skills show base value + point value.

I have a question: shouldn't the ability to drive a car come before the ability to jump-start a car engine? I don't know much about cars, but my logic contests this order. I also have a request: could you link the character sheet posts in the character list?

[Nightwing]

Okay, this seems to confuse a bit of people, so here's a visual example:

3- Dexterity
3- Sense

This equals 1 point. They are seperate in terms of attributes, but when applied to gunning they are 'working together' in a sense.

Alright, the order will be switched. I had thought of making an actual Character Database for this roleplay. When a character is officially accepted, it will end up there. As of now, I'll link the character sheets. I do have to leave soon, so I should be back later to fix up any misconceptions and/or problems.

[Makatsume Haru]

Alrighty, fixed my CS. ^.^

[DAWNSTAR]

Updated my CS. My character might be quite useful in the future.

[Zombehs]

Editing complete.

New and Improved

Name: Adrian Fong
Age: 22
Gender: Male

Description/Appearance: Stands at 5'11 making him a bit taller than average. His build is a bit thin, frail even, but there is certainly muscle in the right place to indicate a runner. His hair and eyes are both black, and his skin is getting the slightest of tans from days out running.

Weapons: He’d love to have something more than a survival knife, but really doesn’t feel like poking his eye out, or worse, when it comes to heavy parkouring. With his luck it would probably happen.

Equipment: He does have a personal safe “house”, although calling it safe might be pushing it. It’s a room on the third floor of a building which has had it’s first staircase knocked out and the second blocked off. The door has been blocked off with furniture, leaving the window as the only viable entrance available. It’s not a particularly hard jump, if someone knows what they’re supposed to do. Hint: you don’t try to crash through that narrow opening, that’s just asking for horrible things to happen. He keeps most supplies and equipment here, bringing out only the bare minimum.

• His method of transporting supplies is a durable, shock absorbent protector case. Managed to loot one from a store. Doesn’t hold as much as most backpacks would, but at the very least he can toss or drop it and not worry about whatever is inside breaking. Also makes for a fairly decent blunt weapon.
• His method of carrying any supplies is two leg holster bags. They wrap around the thigh and hip, keeping each to the side and out of the way if he ever needs to roll or the like. They’re small, but have enough room for a MRE, a few energy bars, a canteen, along with a few other knick knacks like a compass and what not.
• Is rather comfortable in heat, so he wears a windbreaker, for some protection against any bad weather, along with cargo pants. Easy to move around in, with plenty of pockets for stuffing small, durable goodies into. Although his windbreaker does have a hoodie, he prefers to stick with a cap; it limits his vision less.
• He keeps a heavy-duty mini-LED flashlight in his windbreaker at all times. Same with a map. Ditto goes for a multi-tool. Batteries are probably mixed in there somewhere too. A watch is on his wrist because knowing how much time he has before night hits is a rather good thing. Oh right, some heavy duty rope is useful, and duct tape. Oh duct tape...

Personality: Simply put, two-faced. One is the mask he wears when he steps outside of his safe house. Pragmatic and realistic, even to the point of being cold or callous towards others in need, although not to the point of being a contemptible bastard. He’ll save and help people if he can, but if the odds aren’t in his favor, don’t be surprised if he bails. Perhaps a bit too serious for some peoples’ tastes, but taking it easy doesn’t keep people alive, at least in his opinion.

When he's alone though he's much more open, in the sense that he doesn't try to steel himself or control his emotions as much. For the most part he just seems weighed down by all the changes he's had to adapt to. On particularly harsh days his composure slips even further, but it's not something that happens too often.

Attributes:

• Strength: 2
• Stamina: 10
• Health: 2
• Dexterity: 4
• Sense: 6
• Charisma:1

Skills:

• Automotive Machinery: 1
• Barter: 1
• Gunning: 0+(1)=1
• Melee: 1
• Lockpicking: 4+(1)=5
• Parkour: 6+(5)=11
• Stealth: 8
• Survival: 10
• Technical: 4+(4)=8

Achievements: None yet.

Brief History: Adrian is a rather average individual who just happened to get caught up, with the rest of the world, in its apocalypse. He worked as a cook in the restaurant his family owned, way back up north in, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It wasn't any five star shop, but it was in a good location and well-established. Things had gotten a bit harder after his mother passed away, and for a while the possibility of closing down had been quite real. Still, with Adrian devoting his time towards the family business things stabilized and eventually began to pick up. While his father didn't like the fact that he abandoned higher education, Adrian didn't mind too much; he had never looked forward to university or college, and if his work meant his siblings could go if they wanted to then it was worth it. His younger sister and brother are hassles, as younger siblings always are, but he loves and trusts them dearly nevertheless.

It was supposed to be a nice vacation, the first one he had in five years now, but nope — zombies had to show up and everything had to go to hell. Just brilliant.

[Frettzo]

Hey guys, what if my character has 8 strength? How does that work? I get 1 free Melee point, right? And once IC I get to 10 strength, I add another free point?

[Nightwing]

@Frettzo, Yep that's how it works. One for every five.

Also. I'm going to set up the Character Sheet page today, and whilst I'm doing that, I'll include links to CS' sheets for easier access.

[CorruptedShadow]

Argggh, I just got back from CHicago. I am now sad because my brother is gone, damn it...

[Nightwing]

UPDATE:
Character Posts are now linked at the first page for easy access, the character bank will be up tomorrow, and my PC will be fixed then as well. I would like to have all character's that will be in the roleplay be updated as well this week, as it would greatly help shape the IC and how it will pan out. Also, when the Official Dying Light Character Base (DLCB) is up, I will send a message to those who have been accepted -with- character adjustments, allowing them to post their character to the page and be officially welcomed into the world of Dying Light. Thank you, that is the update for today.

[Frettzo]

Alright! Only got the biography to go now!
