Cataclysm: The Capital (post-apocalyptic, zombies and other monsters)

Summer's here and I'm itching to get back into RPing. It's been a while. Have a gander here and tell me if you're interested, and hopefully you'll be here to stick around.

Cataclysm: The Capital



Washington D.C.
July 2nd, 2017
0800 hours

One moment we were all getting ready for Independence Day. Would have been two days from now, and we were all expecting fireworks and barbeques. Then this happened and now we have zombies and all sorts of other things running loose. Some say it was the result of military experiments. Others say that the Biblical apocalypse is upon us. Either way, things have gone to shit and it doesn't look like it's gonna get better any time soon.

Here we are at the Washington Monument. All around us, the city is being consumed in the ashes of fire and chaos, and we were supposed to be the last ones out of the city. The choppers left without us, and all we have is just barely two dozen of us stranded against the zeds and whatever else came along with them. And I fear that we also have our fellow man to face off against too. Within this rag-tag handful of survivors here too, it seems.

Me or we? I do not know the answer to this question, but I need to figure it out soon.

Definitely in. Thinking of a dedicated survivalist type concept.

Tell me more.

I'm talking about the sort of person who has a basement full of tinned food, a full set of Kevlar clothing made from army surplus bulletproof vests, multiple guns, boxes and boxes of ammunition, flares, flint and steel, a spare truck with cans and cans of fuel, everything they think they could possibly need to survive Judgement Day. This is the sort of person who would have journals filled with survival strategies they spend a chunk of every day refining, someone who has a hidden cabin in the woods with extra supplies, someone who leaves caches everywhere just in case.

You know the type, right?

Anyway, I was thinking that he wouldn't really be the sort of guy to run for the evacuation choppers, so maybe the people who don't get picked up run across him a little way into the RP?

Perhaps, although I don't really understand what he'd be doing in the middle of a big urban area like DC right on Day 1 of the apocalypse. He seems like the kind of guy that'd be way out in the wilderness. Perhaps some extra elaboration on why he's in DC could help me out a bit.

[ShadowRaeper]

Interested ^^

[TranscendentalDreamer]

I'd be interested, too. Maybe a journalist, member of the secret service, maybe just a dad and his daughter.

[Shadowcatcher]

im SUUUUPER interested. i would want to be someone who knew about the incident and stays quiet about it. maybe be in the military or some secret service.

[Wayne]

I think this should be enough for me to set up the OOC right about now.

[Shadowcatcher]

yaaay!

Supply run, probably.

Are you three still interested, or no?
