Midna-Phobia

Vigilante RP (seeking male) (MxF)

Closed for now

Hider

One thing I want to stress initially is that although I do want this to be a romance RP I really want it to evolve slowly and organically, over time.

The age range for this Rp will be roughly early to mid twenties.

So what I'm really craving ATM is a good hero rp! Or perhaps an antihero depending. The general idea is that your character and mine have been friends since early grade school, the kind of friends who would spend entire weekends at each others houses and shared nearly everything. (Maybe feelings developed but it's not necessary)

As high school drew to a close everything seemed to be wrapping up nicely until you suddenly vanished off the face of the Earth. Social media, phone, email, even through your family, no one had any idea where you'd gone or what happened (if you wanted to opt to leave a note stating that you're okay or something like that, that's fine too but there is no way to contact you directly).

Years passed.

And the world moved on, eventually. People graduated, people went on to college, people travelled, some kept you in their memories and others let you fade away. Over this time you've been making a name for yourself elsewhere (maybe overseas or something like that where you can become really good at this whole vigilante thing).

Over the past year or so, however, something new has been plaguing your home city. News reports have been flooding the media of mysterious deaths. The police have no leads, the people are afraid and only you can stop them. What you didn't expect was to run into her again. (I had the idea of them both attending the same college but it would depend on how you wanted to approach the character, we can discuss it more pre ic)

It had always been hard balancing 2 lives before, now with the added risk of those you love being in danger the choices you make are going to matter more than ever.

I want to steer away from super powers as much as possible in this RP but plot suggestions, ideas and alterations are more than welcome.

-I tend to post roughly 300-600 words per post and would like something similar from you
-I would like to RP over PM but I can be persuaded to do it over thread
-Can range from fairly PG to M
-Please PM with any interest or question :)

Year 1 (A Zombie Apocalypse RP)

“I've been meaning to ask, actually, do you have a group or something you should be with who might be looking for you?”

Ash’s face fell slightly at the question, her eyes going slightly dark and her gaze falling to the floor once more. “I don’t know.” Rather than crying or getting upset though her voice had gone relatively deadpan. She wasn’t sure exactly how much she should tell them and how much to keep to herself. She didn’t think these people would hurt her friends, but you could never be sure anymore. “We were heading north when a large group of the dead separated us. The plan was to follow the river until we reached the lake. I was waiting for them when the dead started to swarm me. I don’t know if I missed them or they just hadn't made it to the lake yet.”

A long pause, her resolve seeming to weaken for another moment before she let out a long breath. “I don’t know if they’d look for me if I wasn’t there. I don’t even know if they’re alive.” There was a little shake to it, signifying underlying emotion she was not allowing to break through. She felt like she should be more upset about all of this, like there should be more of an outward reaction. But she had seen so much death. She had lost so many people. Maybe she was just too tired to cry anymore right now.

Thankfully dinner proved to be an excellent distraction, the mood lightened and with the attention of the room not so solely on her Ash felt herself start to relax a little. And the food was good. It had been a long time since she’d sat down at a table and had a proper meal but it was nice. It reminded her of before the world became such a horrible place to live and she felt herself feeling full and satisfied for the first time in a long time.

Though it could only last so long. Once the meal was over she was escorted back to the room and left alone inside. It could be worse, realistically. But just something as simple as a door made the isolation feel so much worse than it was. She should have had the best night’s sleep she’d had in months, a proper bed, blankets, a pillow! But it was well into the early AM before she managed to doze off. All the shouting and banging from downstairs had finally quietened down and there was no more movement from outside. Every now and then she had gotten up to look out the window, just in case a familiar shadow was moving around in the darkness outside before exhaustion finally claimed her.

Feel free to work on and send me a character sheet and we can talk about where we can slot you in ^_^

Year 1 (A Zombie Apocalypse RP)

It’s been over a year since the world went to shit. It came fast, it hit hard. No one saw it coming. The day the dead started getting back up. Many lives were lost, families torn apart, civilisation imploding in upon itself. Yet, as ever, humans are resilient. They adapted, they survived, however, they felt needed. There is no cure in sight, the government, military and any sense of formal authority have crumbled. For some, hope has been lost. Those are the ones who fail to survive. It is only those who persevere, those who adapt, who make it to tomorrow.

Winter is heavily upon you, though is on its way to easing. A soft blanket of snow covers the ground most days even in the thickly wooded forest that surrounds the cabin. The thick, condensed trees mostly bare of their leaves these days, save for a few pines and the evergreens. The hunting game has grown scarce, though the river nearby the cabin you have all inhabited for the last few months is still fresh with fish, though even their numbers are fewer than in the spring and summer months. Food, water and supplies are not in a dire situation right now, most days you’re all comfortably fed so long as you keep up semi-constant trips out for food.

The lake, a little further down the river from where your usual fishing traps are has mostly frozen over. Trips across it are possible, though the ice is thin and it can be an unnecessarily risky trip on warmer days (for those who are knowledgeable about frozen lakes). Walkers are certainly present, but mostly your caution and knowledge of how the dead behave by now have given you the tools to mostly keep the place defended and off their radar. There are fences around the cabin and sound traps set up at set locations to draw their attention away. Every now and then trips are required to lure them in a different direction.

This is one such day, and not an entirely unpleasant one at that, being close to unseasonably warm for this time of year. The walker presence is strangely thin today and those you do find all seem to be heading in the same direction before they take notice of your presence. Following them would take you to the mostly frozen lake nearby.

History

Your First Walker Encounter

History Before Outbreak

History Since Outbreak

Also you guys can also use your own formatting for the character sheets as long as they have the same info (since some of you went to so much trouble and they're so pretty)

Year 1 (A Zombie Apocalypse RP)

A year into the outbreak is starting to define how survivors are going to approach this new world. What kind of world do you want to live in?

Current Situation

Current Location: West Virginia
-A log cabin in a heavily wooded, near mountainous area very isolated from other human constructs.
-Only 1 dirt road going in or out and it’s at least a 20-minute drive to the exit of the forest.
-A river lies about 30-minute walk from the cabin through a worn walking trail
Time since Outbreak: over 1 year
Time of year: Late January

Landscape

Zombie Rules

-A bite causes death
-Scratches will not cause death
-All humans are infected and will turn upon death
-Time of turning varies depending on a number of unknown factors
-Zombies can only be killed by damage to the brain
-Animals are impervious to the disease and will not die from an already non-fatal bite
-Zombies are like lions: if they’ve eaten, you can walk by them without fear, but a pack of hungry zombies will attack you.
-The quickest speed of any zombie is a shambling run. NO sprinters exist.
-Zombies are not dexterous. They cannot pick up or use any items, climb or swim
-Zombies have poor eyesight but they do have a strong sense of smell.
-*The whole ‘covering yourself in blood and guts’ thing is a confirmed method of zombie defence
-*Cutting off an infected limb can prevent death if removed quickly enough

*Rule is subject to player knowledge discretion. If they haven't had experience with this they probably won't know it

Rules for vehicles

-Any cars found on the side of the road are probably not going to work
-The batteries in these cars can still be salvable most of the time, especially in new cars
-Majority of cars will not have any fuel left
-Any fuel left will likely be unusable, even syphoned unless
-*An octane boosting agent can be added to ‘bad’ fuel to make it useable again

*Rule is subject to player knowledge discretion. If they haven't had experience with this they probably won't know it

Assorted rules about posts and all that boring jazz

-If possible try to allow at least 2 posts between your last one.
-Quality over quantity: I would prefer if this RP stuck firmly into the 'casual' category. For me, that means at LEAST 2-5 solid paragraphs (200+ words minimum)
-I'll personally be playing more of a GM role, so if things start to slow down chances are Ima throw a herd at you or an NPC, encounter something like that to pick things up or PM some people to give them a nudge.
-Feel free to not get attached to your characters and kill em off, play multiples, etc. Not everyone is going to survive, it's just more realistic.
-On the note of realistic not much is out of bounds in this RP, so things may get a little dark a little gorey so if you're sensitive to things like that maybe this might not be the RP for you.
-No asshole. IC or OOC. Like your character can be mean or weathered or weary but if they have NO redeemable qualities then they're gonna die. I will make sure of it. No one wants to play with an asshole.
-The setting will be (somewhere in West Virginia) about a year into the breakout, just so everyone has a bit more of an excuse to survive. (Also I don't live in America so the only things I know about it is what I've read off google so I apologise if some of my facts may be wrong)

Please feel free to post here with any interest, comments or questions :)

(Another) Walking Dead/ Zombie apocalypse/ Survival RP (Yay!!!)

@Zapdos
Of course :) just pop into the discord server and say hi, get a character sheet and fill it in :)

(Another) Walking Dead/ Zombie apocalypse/ Survival RP (Yay!!!)

Is this something where I would need to know A LOT about Walking Dead to join?

@MissCapnCrunch

Not at all :) you don't really need to know anything about the walking dead were not using any locations or characters from the series. Mostly just the zombie rules.

(Another) Walking Dead/ Zombie apocalypse/ Survival RP (Yay!!!)

Okay guys let me know if this worked or not haha. For tonight I'll just leave it up there for people to look at and think about if they want to play multiple characters or what group you'd maybe like to be a part of. I'll also post a character sheet skeleton for everyone to fill out and send to me and we'll hopefully get to sorting in the next couple of days :)
