[OOC] Walking Dead rp

[Barioth]

Appearance :

Name : Harrison Jakobson
Age : 10
Skill : As a child in the apocalypse, Harrison has learned to survive off of the bare necessities and is good at keeping an optimistic outlook on life. He is additionally smart and resourceful.
Weapon (up three):
-6' Hunting Knife
-Glock Pistol, 4 Bullets (He isn't strong enough to use it)
-Self-made spear- Broomstick with a sharpened tip
Personality : Though he has spent time alone, fending for himself, he has never been alone this long before. He does his best to keep looking forward towards the future and has an undeniable will to survive. He still maintains a bit of his childish innocence and has not yet killed anyone, or a walker. He is distrustful of most due to bad experiences in his past and is well blessed with a silver tongue and a quick and sharp mind. He is resourceful and does not like letting things go to waste.
Brief Bio : Before the outbreak his parents had been divorced and custody of him had gone to his father. On the road trip to his new home they ran into a huge amount of traffic and were chased off the road by walkers. What seems like months later, Harrison is by himself during the apocalypse, barely managing to get by.

Where is this rp going to be located geographically? I think it would be cool, personally, to see something in the New England area.

[Barioth]

Boston or New Orleans would be interesting

[Alarieth]

Appearance:

Name : Damian Copperton.
Age : 28.
Skill : Combat with his blades, Climbing/getting around, speed.
Weapon: Two small katana's (or wakizashi's) and belt of throwing knives. (Will remove this if this is considered more than three weapons)
Personality: Damian is quick to judge and quick to anger, though his ability to make decisions and form opinions quickly has certainly come in handy during the apocalyps. Small transgressions or mistakes on his part are quickly forgiven or forgotten, however he carries a major grudge towards large issues. Thanks to his skills, he is arrogant, but confident of himself ad his skills. His trust is a hard earned thing, however once one were to obtain it, one would be able to fid a fierce and loyal friend or ally in Damian, protective of those he cares about and are worth it. His suspicion in strangers is high, and often is of the opinion that a job will only work well when he is the one doing it. His determination to survive knows few limits, though is guided by a strong set of morals still. His morals are not completely the same as everyone else sometimes tough, greed and selfpreservation often getting the better of him. He will do what it takes to survive, but make sure that what suvives remains worth fighting for.
Brief Bio: Damian is silent abut his past. Before the world went to hell, Damian was tangled up in the criminal underworld, involved in car thefts, pitfighting, drug deals and robberies big and small.The scars on his left arm even today are an indication that he used to be a drug addict. Thankfully, he managed to start to break free from his addiction before the outbreak, while afterwards there simply was no chance for him to relapse, ironically something that helped him break free from his less than perfect life even before it became a simple struggle for survival.

[Myst]

Yes, lots of players. Excellent. That's what I like to see.
I actually like the New Orleans idea, but if you guys would like to vote on a location...
And Alarieth, I LOVE your characters pic. He was one of my fav characters in the movie even though it was supposed to be about Wolverine.
Working on reviewing CSs right now. If you see your name in the second post (on the first page) then your CS was approved.

Also, does everyone want to be together at first or in separate groups?

[Rithas]

I would personally like for my character to be by himself at the very start

[Dredigan]

I'd rather start separate.

[Revan]

I agree with the two above me; I'd prefer to be split up at start.

[Dredigan]

I like the New Orleans setting as well but I forgot to ask, how far into the apocalypse are we starting? Like 3 days or a couple of years or what?

[Alarieth]

My character does well alone, so it'd be fun to play out that part briefly.

Also @ Myst, I loved the character as well, it's a pity his appearance was so brief and the voerall movie was just meh.

[QT]

Name: Floyd Conlon

Age: 29

Skill: Farming. Hunting. Bowman. Brawling.

Weapon (up three): Recurve Bow. Arrows. Trench Knife.

Personality: Floyd doesn't like getting told what to do, due to some past experiences with his father. He's more of a lonesome person and prefers working alone, seeing other people as a hassle and hard to work with. Though he is volatile, he is more level-headed than most people in the present situation. Though he's mainly distant, he still holds deep care for many of the people he's interacted with. He's not as selfless as he acts.

Brief Bio : After his mother passed away, Floyd moved in with his father, who had been divorced for more than three years. At the time, Floyd was nineteen years old, absent of thought for the situation, he really didn't care, but soon would. His father didn't care about Floyd, he saw him as a responsibility he had no choice but to partake in. Interaction between them was scant. Because Floyd was unable to get a job outside his father's farm, he lived there until he was twenty three. His father passed away three months after Floyd's birthday. Floyd could not maintain the farm and was stripped of it by local tax collectors and such. With the remaining money, he moved to New Orleans living in a small cabin near the woods. Without money, he could not buy food, therefore fell back on his crop work along with his hunting skills. He stole a bow and arrow from a local hunting supply store. He got to New Orleans on an old bobber his father had fixed about a year before he passed. He sold it to a pre-owned vehicle shop for two grand. Living alone for years was difficult but worthwhile. He made a friend, Elijah, a local from New Orleans who helped Floyd get settled. It wasn't long before Elijah moved to Houston, the big city, and resumed a life with his pharmacist of a girlfriend. She had cheated on her five year relationship to be with him. "Freaken wh*re." Anyhow, once the breakout occurred, it seemed that the traffic of the cities moved into the woods. Walkers roamed the countryside as if it were the big city. Floyd had no option but to move on, scattering what he could and entering the dead zone, which was the city of New Orleans.

[Myst]

We will be starting about six months into the apocalypse.
Okay, New Orleans it is.
Alright, my girls are going to start out together so everyone else can just do their own thing until we all meet up.
I just realized my characters are the only two female characters... lol

[Dredigan]

When is the IC going up?

[Myst]

Gonna work on it right now :)

[Rithas]

But I thought Females were all part of a magical illusion?

But seriously, we probably do need more girls

[Mortimer]

I prefer to start by myself...my character won't like most of you probably.

[Dredigan]

I'll make a female character to balance it out.

[Alarieth]

Would it be plausible to add a female character later on? Since I first just want to see how it goes with me handling a single character.

[Myst]

aww Mortimer needs a hug *hugs*

[Rithas]

and we won't like you

Well this is neat, it's all shaping up
