[OOC] The Dead Rising [HOTD Closed]

[karamonnom]

Welcome! I hope you enjoy yourself here!

[Mtntopview]

so these zombies are sound-only sensing type?

[joeycbee]

Yep just like in the anime

[Mtntopview]

@joeycbee

that will make it almost too easy to evade. From what I remember, their hearing wasn't super strong, so if you were quiet you could walk right by them and be fine. Lol u normies panicking and fleeing like idiots making it so much harder on yourselves. (you being most of the generic student body that was killed to make the main cast look more in danger)

[joeycbee]

.ignore this

[Mtntopview]

can I get a brief summary of whats going on, where they are and where they are seeking to go. I think if I read right it's nearly night.

[joeycbee]

@Mtntopview
Correct, it is sundown and we are going into a hotel for the night. We're going to Marina to get a boat. You could appear from one of the rooms or something but that's up to you.

[Mtntopview]

@joeycbee
or he could be just wandering around, quietly, and happen to see them go in.

[joeycbee]

@Mtntopview
Meh whatever you want man.

[Mtntopview]

@joeycbee
so all the characters are totally fine with going off in a boat and leaving their families to die alone?

[RumikoOhara]

Miki's parents are around the world at the moments and she has no real idea where they might be since she last chatted with them

[Mtntopview]

@RumikoOhara

Speaking of Miki ... Is it just me or does she seem a little ... Insane? Maybe that's the wrong word. But she seems a tad too excited about killing things (specifically other humans).

[TheHangedMan]

Haha, posted my character on the other thread, now just waiting to be accepted :3

Hello all~!

[karamonnom]

@TheHangedMan
Hiiii :D I hope we get along~

[RumikoOhara]

Insanity isn't it, Miki has been thrown into a situation where she has had to destroy people that she once called friends almost from the beginning.

She had to use a Bobcat to run down 100s of people she didn't personally know but recognized. She knew that they were no longer the people they once were before they turned. She saw people in desperation sacrifice their best friends for their own safety allowing them to be swarmed by the horrors without even trying to help; even shoving their former friends towards the feasting fiends.

She was raised to eventually run a huge corporation, taught that those who aren't team players are useless. She sees anyone who lends a hand to the group as her friend and ally. Those who are members of her group are in her view point her family and anyone who threatens that family is a criminal.

She sees the present situation as a national disaster and existing in vacuum of law enforcement. Criminals like those that attacked the group are no longer worthy of consideration as humans but rabid animal capable of acts which are worse than the walking horrors because they can think of what they are doing.

[RumikoOhara]

Hi Hangedman, did you repost to this RP?

@TheHangedMan

[Mtntopview]

@RumikoOhara

Yeah ... But ... Well ... Hmm. I guess she may not be insane. Doesn't mean I have to agree with her logic though. As a person who likes to give people the benefit of the doubt myself, her kind of thinking disturbs me

[RumikoOhara]

@Mtntopview LOL

If it helps she is a bit disturbing to me as well
Oh and when she's in the grove destroying horrors she's begun to develop a kind of Manic thrill that's akin to ecstatic

[Mtntopview]

@RumikoOhara

yeah, gross

*Groove

[TheHangedMan]

@RumikoOhara Nope, haven't posted here yet. Should I? I placed it in another another place and I'm just waiting for @joeycbee to respond.

Well, just in case, here:

Name:
Jose Christopher Alba Dela Cruz

Nickname(s):
O-chan, Jo-chan, That Big Thing In The Middle Of The Road

Gender:
Male

Age:
18

Nationality:
Fil-Am (Filipino-American) Immigrant

Appearance: (Will draw later)

Tall, almost excessively so, standing at 222.5^cm (7.3^ft), with a muscular and broad body. Despite his intimidating physique, he has a gentle and soft face that's looks much like a koala. He has short, frizzy hair and large round black eyes, thick eyebrows and a pointed nose. He constantly wears a pendant with the image of the Virgin Mary on it, even while bathing. His knuckles are callused and somewhat deformed looking due to boxing things too hard.

Personality:

A man of few words, Jose rarely talks, and only does so when needed or if asked to. He is a gentle person, despite his size, and dislikes conflict. He enjoys helping people and has something of a martyr complex, although its not that bad. Jose is a very tolerating person, with a long patience and who easily forgives people; however this only applies to slights against him, and not to the people he cares about. He is a protector and a guardian, and can his slow, steady nature is calming for most people. He is not good at strategic or academic thinking, however he is very emphatic, and despite his low intelligence, seems to know exactly what to say to people. He is a very morally upright person, and despite the being unpractical, he will always choose the morally right action, even if it endangers himself.

It would be best, however, for people not to underestimate him or consider him 'soft'. He is nice, kind and gentle because he wants to be. Jose can compartmentalize like the best of soldiers, and can easily consider matters to be to separate things, meaning that if he wants to, he can be extremely ruthless and cold as steel.

Biography:

Coming from the slums of the Philippines, Jose is used to 'hard life'; his single mother was the local whore, and he was one of twelve children - some of his sibling didn't even have the same father. Despite that, however, they were still a family who loved each other. Their mother urged them to study and to have lives that were better than they were now, at the same time instilling them with a strict sense of moral and spiritual discipline. Jose did his best to make his mother proud, and even as he worked in the evening collecting and selling junk, he studied hard in the mornings and afternoons at a local public school, where he achieved above average grades, despite his low IQ. He even got a scholarship due to his height, were he was drafted into the mayors basketball team. It was also around this time that he was introduced to boxing, where he aimed to follow the footsteps of his idol 'Manny', to become the same 'rags to riches' kind of story.

A recent economic plunge, however, made life thrice as hard for the excessively large family. They could barely eat a single meal daily, and finding the funds to send some of her children to school was becoming increasingly difficult. As a last resort, Jose mother sought out all of her children's respective fathers, sending them messages and pleas to take them in. Some where hard to find and took time to contact, others were basically non-existent; the chances of any of them replying were abysmally low.

A stroke of luck happened, and several of them did reply and agree - one of them being Jose own father, an American businessman with a base in Japan. The man agreed to take him in and take care of him, in fact, he even felt guilty that he had a son and never knew or checked up on him - as far as he was concerned, Jose's mother was a one-night stand that resulted in nothing but good memories. Thus, Jose was sent to Japan, where he spent three years studying before starting high-school. Due to poverty stunting his educational growth, he was older than most students when he was in highschool, being seventeen in his first year.

He gained a reputation as a scary person, despite not really doing anything, and so most people avoided him. He didn't really care, and focused on his studies instead. He was in second year when the virus broke out, forcing him to begin a new kind of struggle for survival.

Relationships:
N/A

Other:

• A practiced boxer and fit athlete.
• His IQ is a below average score of 83.
• Is fond of small and cute things, like puppies and kittens.
