Will be adding notes, lore as we develop it, blah blah here later.

[Mao Mao]

I am here~

[Gowi]

Obviously there is still a lot to do beyond a fancy banner and what we discussed in PMs. So where should we start on that note?

[Mao Mao]

We should start with our location and which one would be the best. Are we still going to use Baltham and Bainbridge Island as our location or do you have something else in mind? Then, we have to give detail about the virus and how long it takes to become a zombie. That kind of stuff. And lastly, we should start working on our characters' sheets as soon as possible. That's all I could think of at the moment. If you have any more ideas or think of something that I forget, let me know and we will address it.

[Gowi]

We could use Baltham & Bainbridge; an isolated island city could be a good testing ground but at the same time it becomes a lot easier for the military to “handle” it when it gets out of hand— and harder for any characters to get the fuck out of dodge with the inclusion of no fly zones and other situations. The only alternative I have are made up cities in more conventionally open areas. Parris City, Grant City (I reuse this one way too much), etc.

I’m completely okay with B&B, but I’m just airing points that might make story progression kind of claustrophobic.

[Mao Mao]

Alright, B&B it is then. How much detail do you want in a character sheet?

[Gowi]

How much detail do you want? I imagine only the bare essentials should be necessary (occupation, talents, age, etc.) unless we want to just explore them as we develop them in-story?

[Mao Mao]

Let's just do the bare essentials and the rest we could explore in the story, if you would like to do that.

[Gowi]

Fine by me.

[Mao Mao]

How do you feel about this sample sheet? I was planning on leaving behind the personality unless you want it on the sheet.

[Gowi]

I don’t like how the underline goes past the text, but other than that it’ll do nicely, I feel.

[Mao Mao]

Fair enough. I have began to work on several characters in the meantime.

[Mao Mao]

Sorry for the lack of characters. I caught some sort stomach flu and I was busying fighting that shit to do anything other than lay in bed. Thankfully, I have started on several characters' backgrounds and I hope to post them later on the day.

[Gowi]

It is what it is! I’m in no rush for anything.

[Mao Mao]

Alright, I posted two characters at the moment. I hope to post more later on.

[Gowi]

So, how did you want me to make characters in relation to yours? –or am I going with something of the “stranger danger” route?

[Mao Mao]

Most likely the "stranger danger" route. You could do both if you wanted to.

EDIT: Do you mean like brother and/or sister type or the friendship type of relations?

[Gowi]

No, you answered my question, lol. On that point are we still going with the same opening (dead friend) or something else?

[Mao Mao]

I might do the same opening unless you have another opening that we could use or you just want to do another opening.

[Gowi]

So how do I incorporate myself (and by extension my characters) into that opening?
