[OOC] Kōkyo High

[Carlyle]

Staying in a city when the Dead walk not so safe even if you can find a safe place because the access to food and water won't last forever

@RumikoOhara

I mean, that is kind of the point of a zombie apocalypse. Sure, our characters might think of finding a safe place, but the thrill of a zombie apocalypse is the whole "struggling to survive in a city with dead things that consider you a bag of potato chips and want to tear right in to you."

@Sola
Mmm chips

@Sola

Eh, I like zombie apocalypses where the characters are actually smart and try to survive. If one can get out of the city, then one should do so and consider arriving at their destination the end-game. Now, if there was a military cordon all around the city to prevent anyone from going out, that'd be a different story.

[mickilennial]

I just don't like Rumiko contriving an excuse destination for us. It isn't about the character intelligence, its about contrivance.

@Frettzo

I meant it more as what @Inkarnate said.

As smart as the idea sounds, it kind of defeats the purpose of this being a zombie RP. Sure, our characters may manage to escape to the island, but then what? There's likely no zombies on the island unless I decide to have the virus similar to the Walking Dead where everyone is already infected and the bite just does you in quicker. All said and done, it simply throws out the premise of there actually being zombies out the window and would more or less likely turn the RP into a sandbox-esque RP where they're just living on an island, maybe build a hut or two and eat some fish. Besides, who has any training with a sailboat (outside of perhaps Tomori)? It's not exactly the way I intend to take this RP.

@Frettzo

A la The Last of Us or Dying Light, essentially? Perhaps something like that could be done, but who knows? I don't expect anyone to have Kyle Crane/Brecken-esque parkour skills yet, however.

Personality
Syo is seen by others as aggressive and non caring from the look on her face, there has always been an annoyed look on her face since that she was young making it hard for her to make friends and express her feelings to others. Since that time she had learned how to put up a fake expression in order to get her feelings across. She has somewhat free reign to control the expression on her face and uses this to act when she finds it needed to. It tends to come in handy when her mother is angry at her.

Her general look on life is boredom, she works part time 6 hours a day helping people in the supermarket which she generally thinks is boring, not only the work but the people as well. Syo tends to jump to her phone screen when she feels a conversation is starting to grow towards boredom.

Syo has a double personality side to her she thinks is better kept secret to others. She tends to keep this side hidden to her own but it is found on the web far and wide. It is her twitch personality she uses for streaming games in her free time. Syo acts very cutesy and sweet on her streams since she had found out people would donate more.

Biography
Syo had always been bad at attending school, it only had become worse when she had entered middle school, she never was the best student or had a good attitude, at home she frequently had fights with her mother about her generally annoyed voice and attitude when her mother asked her something. The way she was her school marks didn't help the relationship between her and her parents either. It was her goal to leave that shithole as soon as possible.

It wasn’t until her first fight that she had a few talks with the principal. She herself didn’t think it was needed, she only felt annoyed by the constant nagging of other students about her annoyed expression. It got something from under her skin everytime she heard someone say something as stupid as that. But alas, finally they had come to a ‘compromise’. Syo had to behave and when they saw she wasn't in any club yet the principal thought it would have helped her to make some friends if she wouldn attend a club. So they did chose a club for her. She chose the cooking club, luckily for her it was friendly enough, they did the cooking and she ate. The students definitely didn’t dislike her. It didn’t help her situation with all the other students though, it was sooner or later that she had a fall out with yet another student that had annoyed her.

Her home life was generally gaming and streaming on twitch to fill the gap of friendless on school. Her online streaming became overly populair, it was ranging to about 200 viewers a day. The way she was talking and yelling on stream was to different then from her real personality. She felt more alive when she was doing games with viewers, she felt heapier and enjoyed herself more, off course she had noticed what raised her donations and what not. Her goal was off course to move out, money was money off course and she knew what she had to do to get it. Her online personality slowly changed more cutesy and sweet in order to get more views. She would occasionally dress herself up in costumes because she liked cosplay anyway or call out names. She did keep it innocent.

Syo got kicked out of school a year ago due to her bad attitude and her own started fight with fellow students. She could tell it would happen sometime, Syo couldn’t work this out with other students ever so found it best for herself as well. She would keep fighting them time over time.

Sho found herself working at the local supermarket due to a fall out with her mother. She had to pay the rent of her living and food for the time she would still live there due to the fact she dropped out of school and couldn't live there for free any longer. It wasn't a good job but atleast she could manage. Her streaming wouldn't earn enough to make a living and this not either so combined it would get her somewhere close at least.

Theme

[OwO]

these are random-ass high schoolers, not les stroud.

so unless you want to die of starvation and cholera at the ripe old age of 18, it'd probably be smart to stay where you can get canned goods.

[Frettzo]

The problem with zombie fiction is that no matter where the characters are, once they're safe, it's over. This can happen as well inside the city, it's just harder and much less likely to end well.

I have no problem with the characters staying in the city, by the way. I'd just like it if there was an actual reason for doing so.

A couple questions: Is there zombie fiction in the RP world?

Does this RP have a hidden plot, or is it more of a sandbox?

@Frettzo

Hence why I agree with the cast staying in the general area.

@Frettzo

Sure.

@Frettzo

I'll leave that up to your imagination.

@Sola

Can good or no?

[Carlyle]

@Sola

Can good or no?

@Blueflame

You mean your sheet? Sure, it's got my approval. Just drop the spoiler and use the post that you already created in the character tab.

Assuming his first name is Hikari, yeah?

[Blueflame]

@Sola
Nope his name is Reo Hikari

[Carlyle]

@Sola
Nope his name is Reo Hikari

@Blueflame

...So he has two first names?

[Blueflame]

@Sola
No
First: Reo
Last: Hikari

[Carlyle]

@Sola
No
First: Reo
Last: Hikari

@Blueflame

That's where we're confused, then. I was asking for his first name, and you said both names. You see, in Japan, last names come first rather than first names.

[Blueflame]

@Sola
Oh sorry I didn't know
