THIS RP IS NOW PERMANENTLY CLOSED



Backstory


In 2018 the collective terrorist organisation simply proclaiming themselves as 'The Unity' made numerous threats against The European Union, boasting that they would "unmake their stagnant and declining union." This threat panicked international authorities like Interpol into action and even the United States lended the help of the CIA and FBI to assist with the counter-terror efforts since The Unity has gone through with devastating bomb threats before without fail.

Security was doubled for European Leaders across the continent, events and major holidays were heavily guarded, all flights in and out of the EU were plagued with constant searches and delays. Weeks passed and there appeared to be no sign of any assassinations, bomb plots or riots of any kind. The leaders of the European Union thought the threat to be a hoax, that is, until a mysterious illness kept cropping up in Rome...



The Unity had developed a deadly virus that spread through bodily fluids, any one infected would first develop a fever and then become dehydrated due to heavy sweating. Secondly, vomiting would occur, which will eventually progress into Hematemesis(vomiting of blood). This would continue for less than a week, until the infected slips into a coma, then finally death.

The terrorist group had smuggled infected individuals into highly populated European cities and watched as their man-made contagion swept from city to city, engulfing the continent. With half the leaders of the EU dead and the other half dying, the European mainland was plunged into chaos, refugees attempted to flee from their homelands to other continents, only to bring the virus with them, spreading it further and breaking the quarantine. Every single police force had insufficient manpower to deal with the rioting and looting that vexed every country, forcing their military to intervene, at first this was effective until the soldiers died from the infection too, leaving the cities of the world defenseless.



11 years pass and the contagion has utterly destroyed most of civilisation, leaving cities and even entire countries abandoned. With no firefighters to put out fires Rome burned once again, like it did almost two millennia ago. London is now flooded, since no one is left to operate and maintain the Thames Barrier. Cities are now literal concrete jungles, with skyscrapers now vertical ecosystems..

The Survivors across Europe have either came together to form safe communities, became brutal murderers and thieves who raid these communities or others who thought they would survive better on their own. There's rumors of such a community in the north of Scotland, whether it's true or not is unknown...

Rules


  1. No 'hoorah' military men with Gatling guns, rifles and katanas, for the love of God no, please, this is a survival role play, not a dick measuring contest. Characters with military experience are fine as are pistols, shotguns are only allowed if they are in a 10+ person group even then the shells would be extremely low.

  2. My word is law, as is my Co-GM's, mr. pink.

  3. Posts must be no less than a paragraph

  4. This roleplay is set in Europe, you can make people from other places but the characters have to be in Europe.

  5. Characters can and will die, though when or if this happens to your character is up to you

  6. Swearing and Violence is allowed

My CS


Name: Tyrone Arthur

Age: 31



Previous Occupation: Was training to be a Police Officer before civilisation ended.

Nationality: Scottish

Personality: Tyrone is distrusting of other people, particularly people he has just met. Willing to sacrifice a person so others can continue living, especially those that are endangering everyone else.

Skills: Uses a fighting style that incapacitates his opponent though he sometimes adds killing blows if necessary, Can make his own arrows and fire a bow with great accuracy, Hunting skills, knows his way around Scotland, having been born there.

Weapons/Items: A Large backpack he found which he uses to carry food and supplies, a Bow and multiple handmade arrows, a penknife and a kazoo that he never uses which was left in the backpack.

Bio: Born in Edinburgh, Tyrone lived a relatively normal life for a middle class child in Scotland, his father being a police officer, he inspired Tyrone to also become one. Moving to England after passing secondary school, Tyrone began preparing for the job by volunteering and applied for it.

Having been accepted, Tyrone had to go through rigorous training, unfortunately before he complete this difficult process, the virus released by The Unity had reached England interrupting this, infecting and killing most of the other trainees, Tyrone got out before he could get infected and procured an abandoned car, heading south towards safety. Looting the corpse of another survivor and searching through the dead man's backpack, he found a bow, some arrows, a meager amount of food and most bizarrely of all, a kazoo.

Tyrone had spent the last Eleven years training with the bow, learning how to make his own arrows and wandering England for food and supplies, having recently heard of a safe zone located at the north of Scotland from another passing survivor, he is now making his way to it, despite the rumors of cannibals and raiders infesting his former country.

Other: [in joke]His kazoo is a tool of justice [/in joke]

It's the whole counter-terrorism thing, the Unity has carried out multiple bomb threats before all over the world, so it's a global collaboration thing. Anyway, CS is almost up, I'm just filling out my own sheet first before I post it, won't be long.

Awesome :D
Also you have put that it is in Europe but are we not going to choose a place for everyone to be?
Surely if someone's in France and the other is in the UK the rp will run a little dry?

I've already edited it to say that there's rumor of a safe community in Scotland, which you'll see once the CS skeleton is there, so I guess we're going on a road trip. You can be with other people if you want or on your own, up to you.

Name: Kuzma Ghlukov
Age: 37
Appearance:
Previous Occupation: Former spetsnaz, farmer
Nationality: Russia
Personality: Kuzma doesn’t communicate with those he doesn’t like to put it bluntly. If he thinks someone is just a liability or is slowing him down he will most likely talk to them less than he would someone who helps the group. He often acts in a rather professional and calm manner but does let his emotions free more now that civilization has broken down.
Skills:
-Knowledge of Systema
-Basic knowledge of first aid
Weapons/Items:
-A hatchet
-rations
-One hunting rifle, although it has no ammo and used for threatening only
Bio: Kuzma was born just outside of Ryazan on his father’s farm. His mother died during childbirth and he grew up with his father with only his father for guidance who intended Kuzma to become a farmer and take over the family farm when he grew up. Kuzma had other plans though after he discovered his fascination with rifles. His father first taught him to use a rifle when a fox had gotten into their chicken coup; Kuzma took to the rifle like magic. He bothered and annoyed his father practically every day to let him use it even if it were just to shoot cans. His father often took Kuzma hunting when he grew older and soon after, Kuzma went on his own.

When he was able to leave his father’s farm legally he did so, much to the disappointment of his father. He left for St. Petersburg and lived there for a few months before joining the military. He excelled through the ranks as a sniper and was eventually offered a position within the elite Spetsnaz division. It took a lot of time for Kuzma to mull it over, he had heard about the rigorous and painful training. He did eventually accept though and later wished he hadn’t. His training was just as painful as he had heard, he learned a lot, but he also got hurt a lot. He was as ready as ever when he was put into duty. His sniping skills had been honed and he now knew how to defend himself in unarmed combat.

His military career went rather well up until a point. The squad he was in completed every mission to perfection mostly, up until their last one. They were doing a stealth ops mission in the Middle East to rescue a Russian hostage. They were ambushed just as they had captured the hostage, who turned out to be one of the terrorists themselves. They were captured and tortured for information. All but Kuzma died. He barely survived in time for rescue to arrive. He was airlifted out as another Spetsnaz unit eliminated the terrorists and was sent home as soon as he had recovered enough. He discovered that his father had taken ill in his absence and was close to death. He gave his blessing to Kuzma to run the farm and died a few days later. Kuzma decided to settle down in the farm and live a normal life for a while. That is until the apocalypse hit.

Kuzma wasn’t hit all that hard when the virus first appeared. As it went on though, it started to affect his animals. They began to die and spread their vile disease onto other animals. Soon enough, all Kuzma had were his crops, which weren’t nearly enough to pay for the running of the farm. He was ‘lucky’ that the apocalypse took its full toll before the bank could repossess his land. He left for greener pastures after he suspected that he could be infected if he waited around any longer. He has been travelling ever since.

Name: Nefyn (has taken name of the town where she grew up and that she believes to be the sole survivor of)
Age: 24

Appearance: Scrawny young woman with thin brown hair, mouselike facial features and expressions (in a realistic sense; some people are described like that)
Previous Occupation: Was a preteen before apocalypse, obviously, so no job
Nationality: Nefyn, Wales

Personality: Was timid as a preteen before apocalypse, has grown more confident as she lives on while others haven't, but still has an intense fear for armed men that have come to raid her camp in the past. Has an extremely strong resolve which will become apparent as we get going.
Skills: Grew up in a farming community and has knowledge of how to grow crops and raise sheep.
Weapons/Items: Shovel, sheep shears, also a rifle with a bayonet attached used for stabbing (even though there are no bullets for the rifle, I feel like this is the most realistic melee weapon she will have encountered. Only has a few kills, but plenty of practice with Maarad.

Bio: When the apocalypse first struck, she knew the only way to survive would be to isolate herself, so she made a run for it from her home town, which was being ravaged by the disease. Knowing that in the 5th century, the Welsh people survived the Anglo-Saxon invasion by holing up in the mountains, she made her way to Snowdonia National Park, where she encountered a male Lebanese immigrant, who took pity on her. She managed to convince him that their only hope for survival was to start growing food in a protected and isolated mountain valley, so they attempt to grow peas and potatoes in a hill farm (that actually exists, I have it marked on Google Earth for reference) on the side of the mountain Yr Aran. After a few incidents of near-starvation due to a lack of real farming experience, they manage to establish a good enough food supply after two years that they expand into sheep to raise for milk and meat. Aside from a few incidents involving people coming to raid them, Nefyn and Maarad have been largely isolated from everything that has happened since the apocalypse struck, and their crops and livestock have fortunately managed to avoid the blight that killed off Mr_pink's character's farm due to the isolation of Snowdonia (But that will obviously change soon in order to have a plot happen...)

Other: Her partner on the farm is a Lebanese immigrant going only by the name Maarad, who is ten years older than her. He may have a short life span, so I'll spare you from another bio.

Good enough?

Name: Flint White
Age: 34
Appearance:

Previous Occupation: Camera Operator
Nationality: English
Personality:
Flint is a relatively nice person, helping people if he can. This can and has gotten him into trouble in the past though.
He can be sarcastic and blunt but is usually light hearted and witty.
Skills:
He used to be part of a scouting group and so knows some survival skills such as first aid, hunting and camping.
Was part of a clay pigeon group and used to shoot on his granddads land when birds where in season, so is quite well versed with a shotgun.
Also did some rifle target shooting but isn't as used to this as shotguns, as he didn't own a rifle.
Knows how to fire a bow due to some classes but the best he can do is hit a square metre target at 20 yards.
He knows basic craft work from having interest browsing the internet (How to make black powder, basic ammunition reloading.)
Weapons/Items:
A Large leather satchel
Various canned goods
2 litres of water
Small first aid kit.
Screwdriver.
Bio: Born in Manchester he had a relatively normal upbringing. He began shooting at a relatively young age, envying the far off country across the pond. His dream soon came though when he started legally shooting with his granddad in wales. When he was able to get his own license he applied and soon began shooting at clay pigeons. When people started dying and the crisis hit he made his way across the country and 11 years later he is in wales. He now plans on moving to Scotland where there is an apparent safe zone.

*How did she survive with no combat skills when the raiders came? It's been eleven years since the outbreak, surely she would have gained some combat experience. Even with another person there would have been several individuals with weapons
** She wouldn't know about mr. pink's character since he was in Russia at the time, if you were saying this from an out of universe perspective then just change it to "managed to avoid the blight that killed off other farmers."

I'm assuming since you have a shotgun listed but no ammo that it is a placebo threat like mr. pink's rifle, also you did not explain how he got the bow, did he own it? Add that in and you're fine.

I feel your definition of hoorah military men is different to mine.
Its not like I have an assault rifle with 3 clips , two handguns and a machete.
But ok sure your the GM
no shotgun ammunition which is in heavy abundance within the UK and can be easily reloaded..
