The era of the Old Republic is a dark and dangerous time, as Jedi Knights valiantly battle the Sith Lords and their ruthless armies. But the Sith have disturbing plans—and none more so than the fulfillment of Darth Scabrous’s fanatical dream, which is about to become nightmarish reality.
Unlike those other Jedi sidelined to the Agricultural Corps—young Jedi whose abilities have not proved up to snuff—Hestizo Trace possesses one extraordinary Force talent: a gift with plants. Suddenly her quiet existence among greenhouse and garden specimens is violently destroyed by the arrival of an emissary from Darth Scabrous. For the rare black orchid that she has nurtured and bonded with is the final ingredient in an ancient Sith formula that promises to grant Darth Scabrous his greatest desire.
But at the heart of the formula is a never-before-seen virus that’s worse than fatal—it doesn’t just kill, it transforms. Now the rotting, ravenous dead are rising, driven by a bloodthirsty hunger for all things living—and commanded by a Sith Master with an insatiable lust for power and the ultimate prize: immortality . . . no matter the cost.
No one knows what has happened to the old Sith world. Not that there was a lot of communications ever leaving that godforsaken rock. Everyone knew that Scabrous was into the occult rituals even other Siths frowned upon. A team had been sent to investigate the school but had come up with nothing. No leads as to why it had been destroyed, part from that it had been destroyed by its own defensive systems.
As they left the world they picked up a faint signal. A signal that they had not picked up in the way in for landing at the academy. Something out there had a beacon attached to it. The team indented to find out why. They finally located the beacon, attached to a body that was floating in space. The Sith lord that had ordered the team here had been quite specific in bringing anything they found back to her. So it was just to suck it up as they tractored the body into the cargo bay before jumping towards home.
I'm going to leave this part open ended depending on what they players want. If they want to be on the retrieval team, on the final destination, or a space station on the way home.
This is a mainly character driven roleplay. Your choices will have a direct impact on the storyline. Player characters can die if stupid choices are made. I will not hesitate to kill off a character if you give me a reason to. That being said, I will not go out of my way to do so. I am running this because I enjoy the freedom that this setting gives people to roleplay, and it allows for some awesome character development.
In this roleplay you will be deciding the fate of your character(s) and following their new life in the zombie apocalypse.
The first post for each character will be similar to a normal day in their lives, a few months before the initial outbreak. This serves two purposes. One, it allows for a decent introduction of the character itself, and two, it allows us to see the starting point of the character’s morality and values. Then depending on where we start, it will either be gradual, or holy shit.
It is intended that players will not be running solo throughout the whole RP, but you may if you want to. You may form groups before the start of the RP, but please update your CS when you do so that I may add them to the main OOC page.
- Standard guild rules apply above all else.
- Co-GM’s word is law, GM’s word is absolute final.
- The rules may seem harsh, however I consider myself a decent and fair person. I will respect each and every one of you the same until you give me a reason not to. If you are honest with me and don’t try and take advantage of me, we will get along just fine.
- It is expected that if you write a CS for this and it is accepted that you are committing yourself to this RP fully. If you are the kind of person that hops into an RP and bails a few posts later because you lost interest, don’t join. That being said, I’m not expecting a rapid rate of posts. Take your time, put detail into your writing. There may be periods where activity is low, there may be times where people are pumping out multiple posts per day. I intend for this RP to go on for quite while.
- On the topic of post frequency. Try not to double post (and I’m not referring to accidents or forum bugs). Allow around three other posts after your own before you post again. This allows a fairly balanced view of the group, and not clusters of certain people.
- Rock solid posting rules. Do not spam OOC. Do not @mention people in the IC, reactions should be based on the player reading all the posts. If I see that you’re not posting in this RP, but you’re active elsewhere on the Guild, I will boot you and kill off your character if a reason has not been given.
- Characters, keep em real. No person is absolutely perfect. People are flawed, RP it out that way. It makes for a more interesting and immersive experience. Your character will not land every shot on target every time, nor will they be perfect at every survival skill. This is not an action hero roleplay, your character may get injured. You are not invincible. If you RP it that way, I will take action.
- Any arguing or so called “debates” will have to go the PM. I will not tolerate any slander or any name calling in the OOC. It is supposed to be a friendly-zone where everyone can discuss whatever they want whether about the roleplay or real life. There is a strict “Three Warnings then You’re Out” system enforced by both me and any possible Co-GM’s. It is self-explanatory. Don’t be an asshat.
- There are no language or gore filters in place. It’s gonna get messy. This IS NOT for the faint of heart. For the romance stuff, keep it PG-13. If you feel the need to go further, fade to black on the forums. I do not care if you continue it on Skype or Chatzy or whatever, but keep it off of the forums.
- If you’re expecting to be fighting zombies in every post, with massive firefights and lots of gore, this isn’t the RP for you. There will be down times with no action whatsoever, but where character development and interaction is everything. There will be other dangers like lack of food, the cold and other people. Don’t get me wrong though. When we do see zombies, the shit will hit the fan.
- Do NOT post a Work-In-Progress CS here, only final ones.
- Pleading ignorance to the rules is not a valid excuse and I have no tolerance for it. I will kick you from the RP if you try this.
This is not a first come first serve roleplay. When you submit your CS I will review it, I will look at your past roleplaying history on the guild, and if you are new to RPing with me I may ask for a writing sample. Only after all of this checks out will you be accepted into the RP. Take your time with the CS.
Any special requests can be PM'd to me.
**Post your CS on the OOC page for approval, alternatively PM me. Anyone placing unaccepted characters into the Characters tab will not be considered for this RP. Do not post work in progress CS's in the OOC thread, only finished ones.**
- It is recommended that you write your post off site in a program like Google Drive, MS Office or other. That way, if the site goofs and you lose your post here, you have it saved offsite.
- Collabs are not only allowed, but highly encouraged. Some good sites for these are Google Drive and Titanpad, among others.
