[OOC] The Walking Dead - Northwards

[Captain Shelton]

Approved but try to take time and attention to detail in your IC posts. Try not to rush through them.

[paigesweetheart]

Got it,

[paigesweetheart]

Thanks ^.^

[Captain Shelton]

No prob.

[Exit]

Shelton, did you want me to wait until my turn to post again? I'm assuming if we take turns it'll go in the order we started posting.

[Captain Shelton]

You'll have to ask AnnaBeth for a final decision but for now, post as you need to. If something happens you want to respond to, then respond to it.

I've decided my character is in Monroe. Anyone's character near there?

[Exit]

Well.. My characters are near.... if you consider a little over 100 miles southwest nearby.

They're closer to Elma.

[Wired]

Haha, maybe we'll have to agree on a certain area we all happen to be in than, if time is of the essence.

[JustAnna]

I posted up. It's nothing special, but it's something at least. I will try to get another post up (if its my turn) by tomorrow night. :)

And I will address any issues tomorrow afternoon, as well. List them please.

[Sturmgewehr]

Finally managed to post! Thank God!

I think the only things that have been brought up are the order we post in and what radius all the characters are in. Washington is a really big place, realistically it'd take us forever to find each other with how spread out we could be.

Well well, look like most of the gang is back! Foster's kicking around somewhere he as well.

Still room for a couple of my old characters? I think the only one I'd bring back is Jackson - Jamie could have died, I don't care, and Desmond was on his way out last RP anyway. Though I may have a way to still "incorporate" him (his notebook)

[KOKO]

I am working on my "introduction post", so i can post when i want or it is all ready (how do you say it?) set?

[Nymerias-Heart]

Its good to be back... I'm not sure If I should bring back Izzy or incorporate a new Character... Izzy has basically ran his course, and it seems like most of the people he knew are dead anyways...

Weapons: Smith & Wesson Model 327 handgun; Remington Model 887 Tactical, Small foldable Precise Deerslayer knife
Bio/Background:
Prior to Outbreak: Jack Marino was born in Spokane, Washington, to an Italian-born mother and an American father who owned and ran a successful restaurant in the heart of the city. By the age of ten he had already begun to show political ambition, and was elected Class President for his high school class. He then went on to get a degree in Political Science from UCal Berkeley. Upon his return, and after working for a few years running his father's restaurant, he turned his attention back to politics. Over the next few years Jack worked his way through local and state government as a moderate member of the Democratic Party, eventually being elected Representative for the State of Washington. He gained some national attention, both for his middle-of-the-road tendencies (a pro-gun-rights Socialist turned quite a bit of heads) and for his own personal beliefs, having been one of the only congressional American politicians in U.S. history to not believe in a God.
Post-Outbreak: Jack found himself in Southern California visiting relatives when the outbreak struck. Conditions were extremely bad in that region, and despite his best efforts to get back to his home state, he found himself stuck. For five months he led a group of survivors in Riverside, California - outside of the death trap that was L.A.. After a raider attack compromised his camp, the group scattered and he was forced northwards alone. Moving often and keeping to himself as much as possible, over the next few months he gradually made his way up to Washington, finally making it back to Spokane. There, he found that his father's restaurant had been destroyed, and his parents dead. With a heavy heart, he searched Spokane and the nearby towns once more for supplies before heading west toward the seacoast.
Occupation Pre-Apocalyse: Washington State Representative - Democrat
Other: Jack is in possession of a notebook written by a deceased survivor named Desmond Williams, which he had found on Desmond's person in Colbert, Washington a few days after he had apparently killed himself to avoid turning. The notebook has extensive records of all of Desmond's friends, chronicling his life since departing New York, and contains all of Desmond's tips for where to scavenge, who not to interact with, and so forth. As the only piece of literature readily available, Jack has studied it pretty extensively.
