I have this idea of a post-apocalyptic zombie rp.
The basic core is this:
In a world (far from here a long time ago blablabla) overrun by zombies there is a city still under human control. It's divided into several factions who control their own part of the city. Their truce is unsteady and only maintainable due to the zombie apocalypse still going on. (That will make for some interesting plot stuff with the people in charge not wanting the apocalypse to end and stuff like that.)
My idea for the zombies is that there are several types of zombies. Most are your everyday zombies who crave brains in lack of their own set (which was probably eaten by another zombie as some weird kind of hazing ritual ;) ). The main theory behind the zombie infection is that it spreads through blood and once enough gets into your brain you die.
But... there's more!!!
There will be a few special types of zombies, ones than can think and some over powered zombies as well. On the human side there will be some people who mutated due to the infection rather than die because of it. They simply become more durable and stronger. They are always a part of the resistant part of the human race. Yes, resistance, some humans die by one bite, some by two, some don't (though they might die by the other diseases carried around by the zombies, dead corpses remember? or by their injuries). Not all resistant people become mutated people but almost all of them are in the defence force.
I don't like much power playing. This will be an rp mostly based around the horror genre. Which means always being scared of the special zombies, of your brother in arms (the factions have one united defence force to save resources and keep the truce alive, obviously that causes distrust among the soldiers) and of groups of regular zombies. You can easily kill one regular zombie, but 20? More? They'll come if you fire an gun without silencer and with resources being low not everybody has access to them.
That brings up another major focus of the rp, resources, food, water, ammunition, medical supplies, they are bound to run out. You're allowed to have ideas and have your characters carry them out, but in the beginning, there's not much production of anything for the humans.
I think I'll make three human factions and I'll allow a few 'intelligent' zombie characters. Overall I'd like to have 6 human characters to begin the rp with. You can make about three per person to keep things manageable, but two would be better. I will try and keep a small summary of the story so far up in the first post of the OOC as well as a character list since I know people like that.
As for the roleplayers themselves, I either like people who can post at least once a week (the size of the post doesn't really matter, just do what you're comfortable with, just remember, there are also other roleplayers so keep that in mind when you want to do a one liner, those aren't always fun for others). Of course I also understand that real life exists, so if your going to be away, just notify the others in the rp and everything will be fine, I'll notify the people in the rp when someone can't post for a while and when they are back. Overall, I'll try and motivate people to post, maybe a bit too much, I just don't want to be in a dead rp again...
When it comes to English, as long as I can read it I'm okay with it but try to keep your English as correct as you can. Everybody makes mistakes, I am no exception no need to remind me, and that's okay, but readable still means readable. I'm trying to get this somewhere in casual, perhaps low casual since I'm not one for rules... Casual to me simply means casual.
I think that's everything an interest check should have... Perhaps too many things? I just kept writing when I started ^^
If you have suggestions, just post them here, if I like them I'll adopt them, if not, well, then I won't.
