What about pumpkin zombies?

[HokumPocus]

They´re not farmers, but rather victims to their horrid exploitation. I say we recruit them to our team and breed with them vigorously to grow our numbers

[Carlyle]

Updated the character list.

Still waiting on Hero, as well Dru, Hachi, and Maxx (if any of those last three are joining), but I'm not in a rush. I still need to finish typing that last bit of Karen's backstory, though I already know what I'm going to write down so I don't see a point in hurrying.

[Carlyle]

So @Inkarnate and I've been talking about this RP. I decided on that the group should already be unified due to previous troubles that happened running a former zombie RP, but Ink did raise a few good points, especially with our group potentially being 9-10 people if everyone ends up joining.

That being said, I wanted to ask you guys on what you think on splitting up our party at the beginning of the RP. Should we? Any ideas? Ink and I were considering Karen and Jenn being in different groups at first, with Jenn probably pairing with someone like Percy or Damien and link up with the rest organically.

[Ladypug]

Jenn/Percy otp with Damien as the found son please

I'm cool with whatever everyone else decides.

>Jenn/Percy otp
>Jenn is law enforcement
>Jenn likely has handcuffs

[mickilennial]

Probably not? Jenn is on vacation.

@Inkarnate

_{Appearance Description}

Daniel wears thin, wire frame glasses. To go without them would be dangerous, as he is painfully near-sighted. Daniel’s normal clothing consists of a smart button down collared shirt, khaki or slate-gray pants, and usually a thick coat, either tweed or leather. To say that he embraces the look of a nebbish man who tends to spend his hours typing away at a computer would be no lie.

_Personality

•Timid
•Quiet
•Perceptive
•Selfless
•Insecure

_Biography

Daniel Marlowe is not a household name, but to cult followers in horror novellas and terrifying published magazine tales, he has found his place in the world of the written word. Daniel’s entire life has always revolved around the written realm, which lead him to many sacrifices throughout his life: the comfort of steady pay, the free time to pursue relationships with others and the stability of a normal schedule. Daniel moved to Rushford three years ago after selling his parent’s house in Indiana. His agent, Franklin Picolla, said that the local publishing company in town, Deadwood Press, would love to have him work part time while he worked on his next project. That led to more hours taking phone calls and proof-reading other works than working on his own.

Daniel has no immediate family, having lost his mother to cancer four years ago. Since then, his only normal contacts were those at the Deadwood Press publisher and Franklin. Daniel has never been so isolated with such wondrous company.
It was during a meeting with Franklin over possibly selling his most well-known story, The Stranger at the Window, as a film treatment that he saw the true horror on what exactly was going on. The diner they met at had a man who was sick suddenly start attacking the staff. In trying to leave, Franklin was overwhelmed by the sick man and bitten. With his agent wounded, people freaking out and emergency services unavailable, Daniel ran.

He’s been running ever since.

_Gear

•Messenger Bag: Daniel’s lucky messenger bag which contains his writing journal, several pens, and other items he needs throughout the day. Right now the contents alongside the journal and pen are bags of jerky and several water bottles, scrounged from gas stations. The bag remains in good condition and has been a source of luck and survival for him. At the very least, he can carry things.
•Cell Phone: Nearly dead, but works better as a flash light than anything else.
•Wristwatch: Great for telling the time in the undead apocalypse.
•Metal Pipe: A broken piece of pipe taken from the backroom of a store. Solid steel which has powerful bludgeoning power, but slow and unwieldy when used by such a weak man like Daniel.

_Skills

•Puzzle Master: Daniel can easily work through puzzles and brainteasers, whether dealing with number problems, codes or literary hints. Useful if you’re traversing a dangerous mansion or nightmare realm; less useful when you’re running from the undead.
•Firearms Expertise (Specialized): Growing up in Grey’s Falls, Daniel had his hand in hunting ducks with his father. He’d comfortable with nearly all forms of shotguns and can easily fire one with little difficulty accounting for the recoil. His father also taught him a bit of shooting with a handgun, specifically a Smith & Wesson Model 37, which was the old man’s service pistol. Due to this specialized training in firearms, Daniel has no skill with magazine-fed firearms like a semi-automatic pistol (Glock, M1911, Sig) or magazine fed rifle.
•Creative Writing: Daniel is capable of crafting intricate stories, though most have a macabre bent to them.
•Eidetic Memory: Daniel possesses a photographic memory, and can remember things in vivid detail after seeing them for a short time. This includes maps, information, codes and other clues.
•Former Boy Scout: Though years out of practice, Daniel has skills in simple survival; from making a fire, fishing with a line, tying knots and practical first aid.

_Other

Daniel gets embarrassed if people recognize him from his work. He’s only done a handful of conventions and recognizes he has very few fans. .

Not posting it in the character sheet until someone says it's good enough to go. I sorta threw this together with shoe string

[mickilennial]

I'll pen a post and finish the CS later. Pinky-promise this won't be an Exalted 2.0 situation.

[Ladypug]

Sorry but I'm gonna just go ahead and drop this. I'd rather not bog you guys down if it can be helped. Have fun with the rest of it tho.

[Carlyle]

Got a question for y'all.

I know I want to stick to normal, slow zombies like those in TWD, but since this is an invite only RP, I had an idea. What if things were spiced up here and there with the occasional "special zombie", like a dude in full riot gear or just a really big guy (for you)?



These two come to mind unless majority opinion really wants actual special zombies like those in RE, Dying Light, etc. to come into play (though I'd personally prefer not to).
