Is there a definite cast yet? Are we all "in"?
I guess we should separate our characters into two or three small groups because we'll merge at one point into the large group that the plot follows. Kaden and Jack are already in a group. So do we make one or two more and just have people join?
What do you think, Sarge?

You can start on your own if you so wish.
I'll team up with someone if they'll have me.
So... The characters are starting in small groups and we're picking those groups?

I have an idea.How about a huge zombie swarm marches through the city and we all get flushed out into the open. or a flood or something like that that would make us leave hideouts etc.
I like the zombie horde idea, it'd give all of our characters a reason to work together and form a bond. It might work better shortly after they've all met instead of being how they meet... I dunno... it's up to Sarge.
Name: Carter Stephen Dawley
Gender: Male
Age: 38
Personality: Carter is a kind man who tries not to resort to violence. He cares for the people in his group and always shows concern when they have the slightest of injuries or problems. He tries to find the good in people, no matter how hard they try to bury it within themselves. He has a soft-spot for animals, especially dogs, and think of them as equal to humans. Stagnancy is not acceptable in his mind. He’s always trying to make things happen. Carter always talks with optimism and tries to keep the group’s spirits up. He is a nice guy, but puts the group’s survival before any others’. He has no problem killing people if it means his friends will live another day. Most of the time his altruistic behavior results in mental and (sometimes) physical exhaustion.
Though Carter is kind-hearted, he has many emotions that he keeps bottled up inside for the sake of group morale. Inside he is often distraught and borderline nihilistic, he usually does not believe in his optimistic statements. Occasionally he will lash out, being cruel and spiteful to his closest allies. After Carter has one of his temper tantrums he will apologize, though he does not feel remorse. When engaging in combat, he will sometimes be too brutal and “overkill” his foe for the sake of emotional release. Carter is above average in combat, though his skills lie negotiation and persuasion.
Physical Description: Carter is 6' 1" but rather slim in build. His hair has greyed, but some strands of black hair have survived. He has an unkept beard that grows about an inch and a half off of his face. His face is very masculine, with a prominent chin and brow. Carter's cheeks are a bit sunken and his jaw (though strong-looking) is not all that wide, giving his face a "long" look to it.
Background: Carter lived his Pre-End life in lower class just barely able to provide for his sick wife and son. He was always working multiple jobs and his wife couldn’t help due to a terminal illness she had received a few years after the birth of their son. When the riots struck, Carter barricaded himself in his home, trying to protect his wife and child.
Eventually, Carter had to leave his dying wife behind in the house and travel with his six-year-old son. Abandoning his wife took a toll on him and is a factor in his need to nurture the people in the group. Carter and his son were trying to find shelter, a safe place to stay, but couldn’t. They were always on the move, struggling to find places to sleep at night. In a scrap with bandits, his son was shot in the stomach and Carter suffered a bullet wound in the thigh. Carter was able to recover from his wound, but his son died a few days after the incident.
Gear:
Weapons - A shiv crafted with two pieces of metal and binding, a G42 pistol
Clothing - Light brown combat boots, tattered khaki pants, a pale blue, unbuttoned dress shirt with the sleeves torn off at the elbow-down, a white tank top
Backpack - Bandages, metal scraps, binding, alcohol (cleaning), matches, two plastic water bottles (one empty, one refilled)

forgive me.... I... am a moron I dont get it :L
You said "a sadist among us" and that's like... A Wolf Among Us and... Telltale... *Cricket*

I thought fuck it... if Sarge wants to do a telltale style rp... why not have a secret sadist among us?
Or... A Wolf Among Us...
...
...
I'm so sorry...
Damn... that's a dark past...
I trust your creative instinct, Sarge. I'm excited to see how things turn out. Is there a set deadline to when character sheets can be submitted yet? Also, when a character is killed will the person have to submit another CS before re-entry?
I don't have a problem with coincidence. I just think that'd it'd be cooler if the group formed some other way under different circumstances. I'm not bashing on the RP or anything, I love the concept. I think it's an awesome idea, I just thought I'd give suggestions on how the RP would start.
