Goal: Calvin wants to open and manage a sports facility that houses multiple different sports to accommodate the people of the College. To keep peoples spirits up watching organized sports and keeping fit. He also wants to get small sports league going.

Associated NPCs: None known surviving.

History: Calvin was born and raised in Kansas City where he had been playing baseball since he was 5 years old. Calvin was blessed with a few good breaks while putting all of himself into his young baseball career and making it quite successful. He was signed as shortstop to the San Francisco Giants in 2011 right out of high school, where he spent two seasons in the minor league. It was in his third year when he stepped up into the San Francisco Giants professional roster after putting in two hard years in the minors and during training camps he was called up and absolutely stepped up.

Calvins wife Octavia and two sons Ken and Connor were in San Francisco with her parents on June 10th, while Calvin was away on a 6 game road trip to Kansas City than St. Louis. This was a normal event for them since Octavia didn't like be alone during road trips. Kansas City was where Calvin and the team were on June 10th.

The team was on the field of Kauffman Stadium getting warmed up for the first game of the series against the Kansas City Royals when the clock struck 9:12am when literally thousands people collapsed to the ground. Managers, coaches, officials, players and fans dropped, not all of them but most fell. No one knew what was happening so all of the people who had survived this immediately panicked and sprinted towards the exit signs of the stadium where even more lives were lost due to trampling. The surviving members of the team including Calvin made it to the bus just when it struck 9:18am. Luckily the bus driver was still in the bus or none of the team would have survived since they were in the open when bodies started to rise up, but no one was the same was before they collapsed. Calvin received a phone call on his cell around 10am from Octavias father saying that he was the only one who survived this Apocalypse. Calvin insisted that he was going to get him after checking on his parents but he refused saying that he didn't want to stick around after losing his wife, only daughter and grandchildren before his eyes.

Calvins world was crumbling around him but he knew that he would have to stick around to help his team survive. The remaining San Francisco Giants barricaded itself in the team bus for 2 days while waiting for some of the zombies to dissipate from the stadium, since there was so much unoccupied vehicles on the road it wasn't possible to maneuver the bus through them. The 10 remaining members managed to find two decent sized cars that could fit them all and travel to Calvins parents since they still lived in Kansas City to check to see if they were alive. On the way to Calvins parents house one of the cars got overtaken by looters and they lost 5 of the team, but there was no use trying to protect them since the looters were better equipped having guns while they only had a bag of baseball bats. When they got to his house he found that his parents house was unoccupied but no signs of blood or forced entry or struggle. His fathers Nissan 350Z wasn't in the garage when they got there so there was hope that they were still alive somewhere. The guys had gotten a change of clothes and a little bit of food in them since they had this whole house to themselves, this was where they planned to stay to ride out this dilemma since it was secure and stocked with food. Calvin was hoping that his parents would come back to the house knowing that he would be in Kansas City at this time.

Four days into their stay at Calvins parents house during the early morning they had a breach where a dozen zombies broke down the back door and invaded the house. It was at dawn most of them were still asleep so they were caught off guard, while exiting the house only Calvin and his teammate Donny escaped with their lives; however Donny didn't make it out of the altercation unharmed, he had gotten a bite to his thigh. There was a bulletin board that had a hand scribbled note there was college that was being used as a sanctuary. Calvin thought that this might be his best chance to save Donnys life and possibly find his parents. Calvin jumped into the first car that he could find that had the keys in it and in good condition placing Donny in the back seat so that he could lie down and rest. Maybe Calvin should have looked at the fuel light before jumping hastily into the car since it didn't have enough gas to make it to the college, hoping that another car might pass them and give them a lift however two days passed and not a single vehicle came through. Donny was unfortunate having obtained a fever from the infection that associated the zombie bite, he was no longer walking among the living. During this whole ordeal Calvin had managed to avoid killing an actual zombie but he figured that he owed it to his friend to give him mercy from this curse set upon him.

Upon setting on foot the morning of June 17th Calvin walked for miles but never finishing off a zombie, he was ready to give up when he finally seen it. The college Calvin finally made it to the college after one full week after the beginning of this Apocalypse. Calvin spent his time helping around the college with tasks that needed work and the rest of the time he just wanted to be by himself reflecting on everything that he lost in his life and he also found out that his parents weren't at this college. Instead of leaving to search for his parents he seen that there was potential and safety here and the chances of finding his parents a week after the Apocalypse were slim to none so Calvin decided to stay offering his services.

Island in a Sea of Death

I am working on my character sheet. Sorry for taking so long folks.

Would anyone be interested in an Initial D roleplay?

The only reason that I would ask such a question is because I would consider partaking in this RP since I also enjoy racing/car scene and very rarely see an RP consisting of that.

Would anyone be interested in an Initial D roleplay?

First thank you very much for making this an interest check since it has now opened me to this delightful anime :)
Secondly, I know I am only a few episodes in but what would be the basis of keeping this RP going for the long run versus dying out quickly?

Hullo. I'm socially awkward.

Welcome to the guild @Constantina

I am sad to hear about your negative experience on your other community. I certainly hope that you time here it more enjoyable. May you have many good Roleplays that you participate in! If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM and I will help the best I can.

Cheers;

Earthbound – Mother Earth

This was Karols first multiple opponent fight since it has always been one versus one in kickboxing. Who to focus on, who to focus on. He didn't like the way the open pine cone was looking at him and he figured that he might be tougher than the other two, Karol turned towards the open pine cone and bounced on his toes closing the gap between them. Karol was going to launch a two jab combo to see test his range while seeing how the monster pine cone ... well felt. Didn't want to injure himself. Two injured people wouldn't fair out very well here.

[Rolled 2]

Even with his training gloves on Karol took one jab against the pine cone and immediately realized that it wasn't an excellent idea ... and why would it. Normal pine cones were pretty tough so why would a monster version be any different.

Name: Christopher Casablanca

Age: 28

Appearance: Not the exact same tattoos, my RP character will two tribal sleeves.

Christopher

Occupation: High-End Furniture Maker

Personality: Christopher is a man with a taste for finer things which was what made him decide on the profession that he has chosen. He might seem rather snooty because he likes to make his opinion well known and potentially create arguments if he is passionate about his topic. He does enjoy the company of other level headed individuals.

History: Christopher had a tough life growing up, mother and father both held two jobs just to keep enough food on the table to keep them from starving. Both of his parents abused numerous substances to numb everything in the world around them after getting home, so it was the job of Christopher to take care of his younger twin brothers who were 9 years younger. After Christopher finished high school he went onto learn how to make furniture which provided much better than his parents had been able to so Christopher had gone onto become legal guardians to his two brothers.

When his two brothers were in school Christopher would go to his workshop and make a living but this wasn't what he wanted to do all his life was to make decent furniture while just keeping afloat, so when his brothers started participating in afterschool activities Christopher went back to school to learn more technical procedures and how different woods were to be treated.

When both of his brothers turned 19 and went off to college for higher education Christopher put his nose to the grindstone and made a name for himself in the home decor world. One night after signing a large deal that would change his world as he knew it, he decided to hit the downtown nightlife. After picking up two fine ladies at a bar they went back to his place for a different kind of party. That was the last thing that Christopher remembered ...

'Groups' worked well enough during Lantern. Could see how it could be a benefit here.

Zombie/ Community Management RP

You have my interest in this, nothing I love more zombie influenced stuff!
