[OOC] [Resident Evil]: ESCAPE FROM RACCOON CITY

[Dark Lugia]

Ok, [Canine] is disposed of in this post, click here: roleplayerguild.com/posts/4465845

I realize that combat posts may be difficult, but I hope that my post gave you all clear direction as to how simple it can be. The combat encounters will all be similar to that. Please ask questions if you're still confused about the combat in this RP.

Good job @Kazemitsu for setting up the combat scenario.

@Dark LugiaI'm finally well enough to make a character and try to join. Let me know what you think of my character, I hope she's acceptable.

Ceder Birch

Name: Ceder Birch
Age: 17
Gender:Female
Occupation: High School Student/Medical Test Subject
Sanctuary: [JACK'S BAR]
PREFERRED WEAPON CHOICE?: Anti-BOW Weapons/Biochemicals
[HP: XX/XX] (Preferably low)

Ceder's INVENTORY

Slot 1: empty
Slot 2: empty
Slot 3: empty
Slot 4 Memento:
Unknown Medical Data: A folding clipboard containing various notes regarding the medical tests done to her. They're written in medical lingo that she's unable to make heads or tails of, leaving them indecipherable to her.

How did your character get stuck in Raccoon City?:

Ceder has lived in Racoon City all her life. Despite that she’d been incredibly estranged from her parents since she was very little. They were always working as they were important researchers for a large pharmaceutical company based somewhere out of the city. As a result they spent almost no time looking after her, often leaving her with friends or hiring people to look after her.

She attended high school in Raccoon City, struggling to meet friends, often embarrassing herself trying to fit in with others. Art and video games, especially those with powerful female protagonists and outrageous weapons, were a great focus and comfort for her.

A little over a month before the outbreak Ceder called her parents, asking if there was anyway she could help them or get involved with their work. It was a move made out of desperation but Ceder was surprised when they offered her a job as a clinical test subject. There was a tremendous amount of paperwork to fill out and a constantly reinforced air of secrecy.

For 30 days Ceder was kept isolated in a room and given regular injections of something, then ran through various tests at equally regular intervals. Her health rapidly began to degrade. She grew weaker, began experiencing headaches, body pains, and severe nausea. However around the third week her health improved somewhat and evened out. Not getting any better, but seemingly resistant to getting any worse.

Ceder became eager to leave, growing fearful of her condition and the tests being done to her. However those performing the tests barred her from leaving even when it was her agreed upon time to do so. For a time Ceder remained trap, until a disruption at the facility allowed her to escape and flee into the city. By the time she got outside and changed out of the patient gown she'd been stuck in Raccoon City had turned into a nightmare and she still felt sick...

Would you also consider RPing as a Zombie/other undead beast periodically throughout the RP?: YES

@Crosswire

Approved. Thanks for giving such detail.
-Also added @Crosswire to [Meet the Cast section].

P.S. You guys also do not have to color-code any part of your posts. I only color-code sections of the IC posts so that there is no confusion as to what type of Event/Action/Item is happening in the RP (such as damage, HP total, herb, ammunition, character quotes, player actions, etc.) I hope that the coloring makes important events stand out easier to the reader.

<Snipped quote by Kazemitsu>

Other people might be just as bad or worse than zombies if there are looters around. Along with that, there's food to worry about as well... (the outbreak was quite sudden inside Raccoon City, so many of the grocery stores were only partly-looted before citizens died/escaped/went into hiding. Fortunately, zombies do not shop for groceries, only brains.)

maybe. I'm pretty sure Jack didn't stock up on an official zombie apocalypse pack :P

Plus, our characters do know that there might be another safe place thanks to Jack's off-handed comment, so the characters will need to manage and help both places a bit... even though they do need to escape.

I would say that they should find some of the weapons while scavenging around. Along with that, it was mentioned Jack had access to an RPD Radio; that could be the driving case that leads them to the police station - to reestablish a plausible connection with them. I mean, it probably will take a bit to find all the items, but they could probably head to the RPD and spoof up with protection as well in one day... essentially I'm in agreement with the turtling option.

@Savo

1. Jack's radio is currently out of service & no communication with the outside world is possible. Jack has attempted to communicate externally to the authorities, but the radio seems jammed or unresponsive. This will play into a future [Mission].

2. Some people already "claimed" a [Weapon] with their CS, which they can discard when we get to the RPD. Will in the most recent post used a [Trash Can] as a weapon, so there are many ways to do damage besides just bullets. By time we're in the RPD, everyone will be armed. Starting off with a blank inventory/without Weapons just makes things more equal. Also gives everyone a common goal.

3. Regarding the "turtling" strategy: it's wise to be defensive, but there is such a thing as being too cautious. There is always the possibility that if you stay in one area too long, a bigger, stronger viral threat will be attracted to your location. If anyone is willing to be a meatshield or "tank" for the team, be my guest. The thing about the [G and T-viruses] is that the infected monsters usually aren't phased or affected much by how much damage they've taken - they're ferocious from start to finish. Even Bigby's kick in his recent post, mainly served to put distance between the [Canine] and survivors. Also there IS the option of fleeing sometimes, but in the [Alleyway] encounter with Will (my character) and Bigby (Kazemitsu's character), both players are in a narrow hallway and there is nowhere to really flee or cover oneself.
Minor spoilers/warning: many of the rooms in the RPD are also narrow hallways, except of course the lobby/main hall.

[AngelofOctober]

I'd like to make an Umbrella Operative sent out to clean up the crime scene. Who um might see some of the survivors as just cleanup.

[Kazemitsu]

I hope the other people didn't vanish D:
