[OOC] The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures

[DELETED08734]

@Remipa AwesomeAwesome! It works out very well for me and I've been waiting for some interaction to post, so I appreciate you agreeing with me. My post will be up by the end of the day.

@CassowarysaurYour character has dreamy eyes....it's a shame my character is still married...Lol Anyways I love your character development and look forward to your posts.

@FortunesFadedI happen to know @Desire and I believed he would make a wonderful addition to our group.

Also, I'm in a large group roleplay and what we did to make things less confusing is we used a random number generator to put people in groups. Perhaps we could use a NPC post stating that there are several safe check points where the groups should try to approach(although they could be dead zones by the time they get there). Or seeing as there is interaction already, we could create our own smaller groups and use the random generator for newer players joining. Events could occur where the groups meet up and also characters aren't required to stay in their own groups and could always leave to join another group if personal conflict arises or something like that. It's just a suggestion but it's working perfect in my other large group roleplay. Also at the beginning of the OCC character list section we could add the location of each group along with missions, etc.

@CandiBarr

Thanks a lot! My previous RP went so well because I came up with a disturbing yet interesting character, so beware: I'm not holding back when it comes to Joshua. I'll post as soon as I read everyone else's post and figure out what I'm doing, so I doubt that will happen tonight. I think when we meet up, terrible, terrible things will happen.

Presenting... My character

Cole Anderson

Name: Cole Anderson

Age: 23

Occupation: Professional Football Player of the NFL (Eagles starting Quarterback)

Nationality: American

Appearance:

Cole

Brown hair, blue eyes, 6'3, 189 pounds. He's lean, built, and in the physical prime of his life.

Place of Residence: Philadelphia Pennsylvania, USA

Strengths:
Athleticism: He's strong, fast, and has a hell of an arm, he breaks tackles, jukes out defenders, and one of the fastest QB's in the NFL.

Strategist: He knows his play book, and knows how to win games. He always comes up with offensive strategies to win games, and this translates into every day life.

Quick-thinking: In a game, he has to call audibles to change the coverage, avoid getting sacked, find the open man and scramble when necessary. He has no room for error, little time to react.

Fame: He's a well-known quarterback, all over the news before the outbreak occurred, he won the super bowl as a rookie in the NFL. A lot of people know him, and could have a good rep for that.

Weaknesses:
Education: He's an intelligent person, but never cared too much about school. Worried about sports and girls a lot, that he doesn't have a lot of book smarts. He got to college because he was good at football.

Fame: His fame can also be a burden to him. He can't pretend to be somebody else, and he stands out to people. He's Cole Anderson, and some people may not like that. They can judge him before they even speak to him. And especially if they didn't like the Eagles?

Perfectionist: While some could see this as a good thing, and sometimes it is, nothing can go perfect. There are always flaws. Mistakes. And Cole just hates them. He doesn't settle for for second best. Always number one. Where, sometimes that isn't possible.

Belongings:
-His Jersey
-Super Bowl Ring
-Eagles Backpack
-Eagles hat
-Black, sleeveless under armour shirt
-Designer jeans
-Latest Nike sneakers
-Northface jacket
-Green basketball shorts underneath jeans
-iPhone 6s
-Beretta M9 handgun
-Pocket knife with 6-inch blade
-7 clips of ammunition
-Crowbar
-Three bottles of water
-Trail mix
-Beef Jerky

Personality: Cole Anderson is a professional football player, and has some confidence about him. He's a leader, and works well in a team, but not afraid to go it alone either. Either he'll throw a touchdown pass or run it in himself, he always achieves his goal. He does whatever it takes to win, and has a competitive spirit. A perfectionist, he expects greatness and won't settle for less. On the field, he's like a general on the battlefield, the only thing on his mind is winning. Off of the court, he can actually be a nice guy. He portrays himself well in media, doing charity work, donating money, not doing illegal activities or getting into fights like some football players. He's a person that a little boy looks up to. Although he is a proud person, and does not settle for disrespect toward him or somebody he cares about, he's protective and passionate. He's a calm, level-headed person, unless you get him angry. Then all he sees is red. Sometimes he can come across as cocky, a jerk, a typical jock, never worked a day in his life, glorified asshole. But he can't always be a nice person. His philosophy is "I treat you the way you treat me. Plain and simple."

@CandiBarr

Oh, that's an interesting idea! I'm not sure if I'll end up using the number generator, just because the groups are already starting to consolidate, and it'll likely just be one or two when the RP matures a bit, but I most certainly will be organizing the Characters section with more info about the groups/factions. Also, I'll look into creating check points and such within the game world, and fleshing out (pun not unintended) the livable parts of Wilmington.

Though, just to forewarn, don't get too comfortable there.

@Desire Accepted!

[Shoe Thief]

I did mention one of Hunter's biggest weaknesses was he had a tendency to resort to his old training in a stressful or fast thinking situation right?

Hunter's self notes:
1) Update training.
2) Don't shoot at friendlies.
3) Find better food.

[Desire]

@FortunesFaded Thank you!

I have a question, however.

I see that at least some of the characters are near Wilmington, so that's at least a place. Assuming it's at least two months into the apocalypse by your first post. The only question is, where should my char come in? And should I include his situation when the initial outbreak started?

I mean, I'm pretty sure my assumptions are accurate. If not, please tell me so!

@Desire

You're right.

Where you want to be comes down to your personal preference. I'd recommend that you find a character (or characters) that you want to interact with. Unless explicity stated, I'm pretty sure every other player is open to your character finding them.

[FallenTrinity]

@Pirouette

After you post I won't be able to post until my day off so if you want to go ahead and post I'll do it on like... Tues or Weds so yeah. RL just hit me in the face. I now know your feels

[Desire]

@Pirouette Alright, thank you. And I also like the user name by the way, dancing term.

[DELETED08734]

@DesireSeveral gunshots were just fired at an apartment building on the outskirts of Wilmington that anyone nearby could hear if your interested in joining us. :)

@McHaggis@FortunesFadedI know because y'all are only a couple blocks away, the gunshots could be heard if you're interested in using that for some plot development. Maybe after some character development posts and only if y'all want. I was going to have my character meet up with y'all before @Remipa Awesome created his post as I mentioned briefly seeing Desmond and the SUV.

@Desire

What Pirouette said! Except for the first bit -- it's more like two weeks, not two months. There are still quite a few survivors out there, either under the military's "care" or in groups, but most of Wilmington has been evacuated. All that's left are the dead, and the group of NPCs on 8th Street.

Edit: I've added a "Groups" hider in the Characters Tab, which has each group, (roughly) where they are, and who is part of it. Right now, the names are quite unoriginal, but that's because, well, they aren't really groups yet. Just clusters of people.

[Shoe Thief]

Person: "Give the socially awkward guy the assault rifle, it would be fine they said, Nothing could go-- HOLY FUCKING SHIT HE SHOT MY FOOT!"
Hunter: "...sorry." *Slowly walks into other room*

[Love Me Dead]

Question.

The guy roleplaying with Jazileena hasn't responded and it's been days, what should I do if he doesn't respond in a week?

[Pirouette]

@Love Me Dead

PM and ask about his/her status. Wait 24 hours and then just move on.

@Love Me Dead

Yeah. If he doesn't respond in the next 24 hours, I'll let you move his character aroud with you, use him for dialogue, whatever. Just put his character on the back-burner and keep going towards your destination. If he doesn't come back, we'll kill the character somehow.

Hopefully you sent a PM.

[Shoe Thief]

For the survivors that seem to think they have it all, but really are just plain lucky.

[FortunesFaded]

<Snipped quote by FortunesFaded>

Hopefully you sent a PM.

@Foster

Yeah, I did. Pretty much said that if he's busy in the short term but wants to stay sorta-in the roleplay, I'll make sure his char doesn't get killed off. But if he never gets back to me, it's a possibility.

[FortunesFaded]

@McHaggis expect a reply from me no later than tomorrow night!

[DELETED08734]

@FortunesFadedBefore I write my next reply, what's the time frame looking like? I see different responses and a lot of vagueness which is fine. I just wanted to incorporate the weather in my next response and didn't want to write about the wrong time of year.

So anyone know what time it is in the roleplay? Or perhaps...what season? If we want to continue to not have an exact time frame to keep it simple.
