I'd say a decent age would be about 9-12 years old. Because I mean carl from the comics was 8 years old and fromt the tv show I think he was 11-12 years old. so yeah a kid would be a good idea
I was thinking the minimum as 8 and up. But 9-12 works. Since the basic goal is to stay alive I would suggest everyone knows how to at least know some sort of weapon. From using something like a baseball bat to guns. It may not be best if people go alone either unless some else is aware. This will help cut back on missing people.
Yeah I think children would be there because it seems weird if all the children just disappeared from the world, but I think there should be a minumum age to have your character. I don't see many people wanting to play as a nine year old though haha.
How shall we determine the overall leader of the combined group. I say that with the group that gets attacked their leader is an npc that dies and that the other group ... uhh ... I don't know.
@ViolentViolet that's good! If you've got a few extra characters that you've thought and think would fit in the RP we can add them and make them a NPC. :)
