"When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the Earth."
You've heard the screams. The moans. The prayers. If you believe in conspiracies, it was some fucked up shit the government geeks were experimenting on. The religious nutjobs might tell you it was the wrath of god that brought this on humanity. Hell, even the tree-hugging hippies blamed it on a pissed off Mother Nature that the dead walk again with a cannibalistic appetite.
Myself? I find it hard to care when a walking corpse wants a piece of me. Humanity is no longer on the top of the food chain. There is no more internet, no more television, no more civilization... only surviving. What time is there to care when stable meals are unlikely and a corpse is snapping at you with its mangy and digusting jaws?
I ain't worried about what brought the dead back to life. I'm worried about surviving to tomorrow. You should too, lest you don't end up as a chew toy or one of them. We're humans, not some juicy piece of bacon! Not some afternoon snack for a repulsive, decomposing freak! This is our world, not theirs, but ours. It may not look like it anymore with everything fallin' into disrepair, but damn it, it's ours.
If you'll excuse my terrible storytelling above, welcome the OOC! As you can see by my username, I'm Poi, and I will be GMing this Walking Dead RP for you. Being an avid Walking Dead fan since nearly the beginning, this RP idea came to me when I was browsing the various Walking Dead RPs on RPG. Every RP I saw was based in somewhere in the US, which had me thinking: what if I base a RP outside the US? While the main show and comics take solely in the US, multiple mentions of places in Europe exist with Dr. Jenner saying France had went dark on him and a side comic has Rick Grimes' younger brother, Jeffery, in Barcelona, Spain.
And so, I set out to make this RP, but I had to make some choices, which is why this RP will be based in Belgium, specifically Brussels and the surrounding areas during the middle of 2012 (for now). I intend for this RP to be similar to the first few seasons of the Walking Dead, where the goal was to survive and characters are forced to scavenge for supplies due to them being scarce. Seeing as this is a WD RP, I do expect people to die, but I will be leaving that mostly up to the players themselves for now. Everyone is a normal human, and survival can be an unlikely possibility if you're trapped by a bunch of walkers. If anything else needs to be addressed, I'll gladly answer questions.
Alive:
- Kuroba Hiroko (Former Teacher)
- Michael Kenning (Former E-Sports Player)
- Mikaela Smoak (Former Student)
- Dixie Boudreaux (Former Interpol Inspector)
- Sarafine Friedrich (Former Cashier)
- Arthur Irving (Former Student)
Deceased:
- As with any RP, all guild rules apply to the RP and those partaking as roleplayers.
- My word is law. I'm a carefree guy and will listen to concerns, but don't test me with petty arguments once I've made my decision.
- No godmodding, no overpowered characters, etc. We're all capable roleplayers to know this.
- Romance is allowed, but before it delves into the mature category, fade to black and take it to the PMs.
- Please be active for the sake of the RP. If you must leave for IRL reasons or wish to drop out, please tell us instead of leaving us hanging.
- Players will be limited to one, perhaps two characters. NPCs can be made, but please put effort in to the sheets.
- Format the CS as much as you want, but do not post it in the character tab until it has been accepted.
- I will not accept any sheets that aren't in a spoiler. I will look over them, but they will not be accepted until put in a hider.
- Post expectations are lax to limit speed posting. A post is expected at least once a week to avoid rushed and hastily written posts.
- Quality over quantity. I would rather have a few great paragraphs over a novel from my players.
- Finally, as a way to see if people read these, comment your favorite color. Those who were in the interest check need not to do so.
