I thought fuck it... if Sarge wants to do a telltale style rp... why not have a secret sadist among us?

Or... A Wolf Among Us...

I'm so sorry...

I agree, Note, and to be honest I haven't decided how I'm going to start things off yet. I don't like the idea of just starting off with everyone huddled in a room, having never met each other before, that was just something I put in my blurb at the top of the OOC because I couldn't think of anything better at the time. I was thinking, as you suggested, that before the group forms into one big whole we could meet up individually and merge into two or three smaller groups which eventually meet up. Depending on who ends up accepted to the RP, my character Marcus could easily bump into Twix, Lee or Leon wandering the streets, or strike up a conversation with Jack about the baseball cap he's wearing. It's all things to start thinking about.

I have an idea.

How about a huge zombie swarm marches through the city and we all get flushed out into the open. or a flood or something like that that would make us leave hideouts etc.

I like the zombie horde idea, it'd give all of our characters a reason to work together and form a bond. It might work better shortly after they've all met instead of being how they meet... I dunno... it's up to Sarge.

-Not related to conversation at all but LAST POST UNTIL A WEEK WITHOUT THE WORLD WIDE WEB-

I think we should all put up ONE post about how we're getting into Slidell and where we're coming from and then Sarge posts about how the walker horde appears and then each of us begins to see it and then we meet each other in the fighting of the horde...

Ya feel me?
You pickin up what I'm puttin down?

Name: Shawn Taggart

Age: 27

Nationality: American.

Occupation (pre-outbreak): Assistant in the local hardware store.

Apperance : White t-shirt, blood stained, brown cargo pants, walking boots, black jacket if cold, belt with holster, 6"1 tall.

Personality: After all this time in the apocalypse - he's not the most trusting. Shawn understands that the more people you have the better chance of survival you have. He's currently on his own though, the people he was with didn't make it. He's on his own again. Prior to Hell on Earth, Shawn was caring, compassionate, trusting. Now though, he cares for not as much. He's still human though. His only fears, are death, other people - and Walkers.

History: Born and raised in Houma, LA, Shawn was born to Amy and George Taggart. It was there he grew up, attending school and getting his first job in a small resteraunt. After a few years and a few different jobs - Shawn got a job in the local hardware store. Assistant behind the desk and customer services. Sadly, when Shawn turned 24 his mother and father died in a fatal car crash. It broke his heart - but with the support from his then-girlfriend Nicole, he healed. He was 27 now, working in the same God forsaken store for over three years now. Getting a new workplace hadn't been the easiest thing around - every time he applied and interviewed for a new job - he was turned down.

The world fell. It was no longer about jobs, money or anything. It was about food, water - Nicole. At 4 months in she realised she was pregnant - and when she revealed it to the group -including Shawn- everyone was shocked, emotional. Common questions arose Are you going to keep it? How will we survive with a baby on our hands? and so on. 12 months in now. Their numbers were lower and lower. The pain of loss never went away - room was just made for it. Until the place they were held up was overrun - - Shawn was the only one to make it out alive, because the dead were too busy eating his loved ones - his friends, his wife... His unborn child.

Months have passed since, and Shawn is struggling to find hope - a reason to keep going on. At present date he is held up in a bar - low on food and water, plenty of alcohol to be fair though. He led that group - and they died. He doesn't make many decisions for any more. He can defend himself, others if need be. He's a survivor. He has no problem being there and helping people - but he doesn't lead. He puts his faith in others now-a-days.

Useful Skills: A good shot, not afraid to get in close with his hatchet. He can handle Walkers - it's always been other survivors that caused problem.

Inventory:
-.44 Smith & Wesson Model 629, 6" barrel.
- 1 Hatchet.
- 1 pocket knife.
- 1 can of beans.
- 2 bottles of water, one half full.
- 1 backpack.
- A dozen rounds or so of .44 ammo.
- 1 Stale candy bar.
- 1 toothbrush. (No toothpaste though.)
- A picture of his ex wife.

Other: Shawn has been forced to make decisions - not easily made. The world has took its toll on him greatly. Easily said he's much different to the man he was before all this. He doesn't find it easy to trust people - but understands safety in numbers.

PS Sorry this might seem a bit quick. I've got some stuff that I'm doing currently - but really wanted to get this up" I'll make any changes if need be, thanks. :-)

It probably doesn't matter, but does this take place in the comic universe or the show universe?

[Myst]

Wow, New Orleans sure is a popular place for TWD fans. My rp (Among the Ruined) is set there as well, but we're more on the outskirts then in the actual city. I am very proud to say my rp is now in it's 2nd season and still going strong. It's really cool to see New Orleans love and more TWD fans out there. I hope your rp lasts as long as mine has. :)

[Sarge]

Thanks for the support. I'm sorry, I didn't check before we went with New Orleans to see if any of the other Walking Dead RPs were using it as a setting. I know there's one set in Los Angeles, but that one has it in the thread title. By the looks of it, however, ours is set about a year after yours, so there's that!

By the way, me and Fly have arranged to already be travelling companions at the thread's start. Just thought you should know~!

[Antagonist]

I'm excited, any idea when the IC post is going up?

[Fell]

I think Sarge said Monday?

[Antagonist]

Sweet, thanks!

I've sorted out who I'm gonna be arriving with. :)

[Note]

So... The characters are starting in small groups and we're picking those groups?

[Antagonist]

You can start on your own if you so wish.

I'll team up with someone if they'll have me.

[Totts]

MEEE

[Fell]

I'm down to be in a group

[Note]

Is there a definite cast yet? Are we all "in"?
I guess we should separate our characters into two or three small groups because we'll merge at one point into the large group that the plot follows. Kaden and Jack are already in a group. So do we make one or two more and just have people join?
What do you think, Sarge?
