The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures -- Always Accepting

"This is the end, beautiful friend,
This is the end, my only friend, the end:
Of our elaborate plans, the end;
Of everything that stands, the end;
No safety or surprise, the end..
I'll never look into your eyes, again."


- The Doors

Welcome to the end, friends. This will be a casual Roleplay set in the world of The Walking Dead, but in a different setting, with no canon character. To Greener Pastures will begin in Wilmington, Delaware (southwest of Philadelphia), but will move as the characters migrate. The timeframe will start at the beginning of the outbreak. As the name suggests, the characters will be looking for a paradise of sorts: rumor has it that rural New England is much better, comparably, but getting there would involve going through some of the largest cities in the country. Not everyone is going to make it.

This RP was inspired by one that I was a part of for years back on the old Roleplayer Guide site, called The Walking Dead: Northwards (it took place in Colorado and Washington state, primarily) though it shares no connection to that story, either. The zombies in this story will be consistent with the zombie in The Walking Dead, as will the deterioration of society and infrastructure. Characters will die. Everyone dies, eventually. This story likely won't end up being about the end, but about the journey.

We will always be accepting new characters. At some points, I may ask that a roleplayer waits to introduce their character into the story (if too many characters have been introduced at once, or if the group is in the middle of something important, where an introduction wouldn't realistically happen), but this RP is always open. If you want to apply, fill out the Character Sheet below and post it in the OOC. Once you get my O.K., port your character over to the "Characters" tab.





Character Sheet:

Name:
Age:
Occupation:
Nationality:
Appearance: (Pic w/ brief description or a detailed description is fine)
Place of Residence: (Region/City, Country)
Strengths: (You must have a minimum of two strengths. You can have one more strength than weakness, but for every strength past that you must have an additional weakness (ex: 5 strengths, 4 weaknesses)
Weaknesses: (You must have a minimum of two weaknesses)
Belongings: (What does your character have on them/with them almost always? Mementos, favorite book, jewelry, etc., as well as any weapons *within reason*)
Personality: (Who is your character, really? What makes him/her tick? Why?)
Other: (Anything else? Say so here!)

No biography, you ask? Why not?!

Well, kind sir or madam, because it isn't quite important for the purpose of the CS. I want you to think about your character's story, I absolutely want you to think about their past. Then I want you to work it into the RP itself: tell the story, IN the story, not in the CS. Let them develop from within.

---

With all that in order, let's all go out and fight a losing battle with our own fears and shortcomings! (And zombies, of course)

Hope that's okay! I didn't proof read it and rushed it a bit in an hour or so cos I wouldn't be able to do another one til the weekend.


It's awesome! And that's perfectly fine, I likely won't be getting one up for a day or two, anyway.

To anyone else working on their opening post: Don't feel obligated to instantly meet up with Desmond and Scout. It's much more natural to group together along the way, or have small groups form initially, than to have 5 people come across each other all at the same time on the same highway.

Don't worry, intro posts are generally much longer than the usual (at least in my case), and everyone has different writing styles :)

Probably going to use this app from a TWD-RP that somehow was in the free-RP section. It went about as you'd expect.

Name: Wilson Taggart | Age: 25 | Gender: M

Appearance: Glasses, greatcoat, gloves, boots, scarf similar.
Hair may have grown longer and unkempt, hat may be different [stocking-cap, surplus helmet with a cross on it, flat-cap] or simply not there.
Also included would be a medium backpack, improvised pack-frame, bedroll-pack, and a butt-pack.

Where you from?: Prairie Du Chein, Wisconsin (pronounced "Prairie Doo-Seen", gotta sneak a 'lil French-Eskimo into your dialect)

Personality: Careful and precise, despite a reckless fatalist attitude. His altruistic tendencies have generally meant a good reputation. His wary shrewdness however stems from a long history of people who take advantage of his generosity.

Back Story: Factory-worker and trained first-responder; Taggart is also a bit of a military-reenactor, not only fascinated with various collections, but also the how and why it was used and designed in order to get a better understanding of history while also learning some useful survival-skills.

Weapons: Customized Mosin Nagant, straight-bolt with side-slung scope, butt-pad, slip-on shotshell-holder (5 loops, 10 rifle rds, in pairs), dat bayonet, and full accessories [cleaning-kit, mag-pouches, rifle-sling attached to butt-pack instead of rifle], and about a dozen stripper-clips, a 3/4 length #3 fire-axe, and a folding-shovel.

Vehicle: Well, there was a car. But that ran out of fuel in the first month. Ended up 'liberating' a horse + carriage from an abandoned Amish farm that didn't get the warning in time.

Other: A bit of a history-buff/survivalist. Is moderately deaf and severely blind on the left side. Stocks a rather surprising amount of medical supplies. Enjoy our cuisine, I did mention he knows how to cook, right?

@Foster Looks good so far! Just adapt it a bit to fit the parameters of this RP's sheet, and you'll be good to go.

Just a notice to everybody, I won't be able to post IC until this Sunday. Doesn't mean you have to stop posting! I just wanted to make sure everyone else knew :) I'll likely be checking in to see how things are going and approve/deny new CS apps, but I really won't have access to my computer long enough to get a post through.

Love Me Dead that one guy

Member Seen 9 yrs ago

Name: Jazileena Monday Felix
Age: 29
Occupation: Police Officer
Nationality: African American
Appearance: Jazileena is a very tall individual (or at least I think so cause I'm so darn short, ;-;) standing at around 6'1. She is a well built individual considering how seriously she took her job. Her skin is a deep brown color and her long black hair is normally down but sometimes put up into a bun. She loves her uniform which the top fits her a bit strangely. She has a very small chest which is almost flat but she never really cared too much. Her brown eyes are a bit darker than her skin and she has a bit of acne down her neck, nothing awful
Place of Residence: She had lived in Boston but she didn't stay since there was nothing there for her. She left still wearing her uniform with an extra pair of clothes in her bag.
Strengths: She would not blink an eye at killing someone for her own safety, this can be seen as both a strength and a weakness. Physical Strength is higher than the average female due to the training she put herself through and she knows quite a bit about handguns. (I don't know crap about handguns to be honest) She also can be very crafty making things into weapons that normally wouldn't be and boy she does use them.
Weaknesses: She doesn't play well with others whom she deems make stupid decisions and would not blink an eye at killing someone for her own safety, she also has a soft spot for babies and small children and will work to protect them at all costs.
Belongings: Jazileena always carries with her her daughter's school bag. It's a nice little plaid cloth bag that she keeps supplies in clicked to one of the bags zippers is a whistle and a tiny picture frame with all her daughter's tiny school photos one on top of the other so the latest one is showing. She keeps this with her at all times unless she has someone she trusts hold it. It's the only thing she has left of her little baby girl. She also keeps a double A battery powered mp3 player in there although she almost never uses it, the thing used to belong to her boyfriend. She has an empty handgun and a pocket knife that she's had for years never thinking she'd actually use it.
Personality: Jazileena is very to herself but if she has an opinion she will share it. She can be very sarcastic and points and normally doesn't let anything bother her considering with the things that happened to her she was already broken. She doesn't cry often but when she does it's hard to stop, sometimes she finds she has to cover her mouth to muffle her sobs. She will have a hard time when people ask her about her daughter and become like a brick wall. Once someone gets under her skin she is very caring for those she trusts and will protect them.
Other: She really really likes coffee and misses it. Quickest way to her friendship? Find her some instant coffee.
(I hope this is good enough X3 I worked pretty hard on it, Also am I allowed to make more than one character? If so I have a young man I'd like to add)

@Love Me Dead Accepted! As for a second character, you're more than welcome to (Just make sure you're able to balance the two and keep actively posting as both over the course of the roleplay). My advice would be to play as Jazileena for a while to get used to the pace and expectations of the RP, and then add a second character if you still want to, but feel free to disregard that and add him now if you'd like.
