Well, the first IC post is up. I believe everyone should start by making a small introduction post -- waking up in the morning and their general reflection or mood. As it goes on, I will be adding more information on the lore. I still do not know how I want to do a currency system.
I like the idea of a barter system. Like I figured Dr. D would accept mostly medical supplies or food for his services. Or you could be a test subject.

General Information
Name: Dimas Domljanović
Legend: Dr. D
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age:27
Appearance: Dimas is tall and lean. Though he's athletic, his lanky figure give him the impression of being very skinny when he has clothes on. He at one point had jet black hair. After the Week of Hell, he acquired a white streak that's been expanding at an alarming rate. But perhaps most striking is the fact that a large portion of his face is a different color than the rest of his skin.
Personality: Dimas comes at the new world with a dark sense of humor. He's a doctor in a world where everyone is sick, so he needs to to keep his sanity. Outwards, he comes across as very cold. He charges for every surgery in some way or another, and he's often extremely direct with his patients. Even if he was telling a pair of parents that their child had a week left to live, they would not see him shed a single tear. Callous though he may seem, he's affable. He's very polite and well-mannered, and can even be charming if he wants to be.
Condition: Joe
Recreational Knowledge
Likes: Civilization. Researching the undead. Drugs. Books. Helping people.
Dislikes: People who get banged up too much. Being interrupted while he's working. People who make the world less "civilized." Being the bearer of bad news. Running out of medical supplies.
Hobbies: Dimas enjoys reading books. He likes both fiction and nonfiction. He also enjoys going jogging and practicing with his crossbow.
Strengths: Dimas is an excellent doctor. The mere fact that he can function as one after the apocalypse is a testament to his skill. Dimas is extremely level-headed, and will not panic in any situation. Deep down he may or may not be very altruistic.
Weaknesses: Wants to appear as strong and capable of protecting others, often at his own expense. Finds his work as a doctor extremely stressful at times. Has a really hard time sleeping.
Weapon: Crossbow: An ultramodern crossbow Dimas made himself. It's main customization is the fact that it has three strings, allowing it to be loaded with three bolts at a time. The loading mechanism is a crank on the side, allowing bolts to be readied relatively fast. It still takes a while to prepare a shot, making it more of a long-range weapon. So it also has a scope (made from half of a pair of binoculars) and laser sight (made from a laser pointer.) The front has an attachment on which he can either put a bayonet (made from a combat knife and suited for caving in skulls) or a lighter (made from a lighter and suited for lighting napalm-coated bolts.) Scythe: A long, metal pole to which Dimas has fixed a large blade. The blade is a bit straighter than a standard scythe, and it's weighted differently. This is because it is not made for harvesting grain. Rather, it is made for eliminating undead from as far away as possible. The blade is equally good both at penetrating craniums and decapiting foes, though Dimas prefers not to let enemies get close enough for it to come to that. Chernabog: A pet project of Dr. D's. By combining his special ointment with tissues from several undead creatures in a meat grinder, he has created a blob-like creature. It's brain is made by combining that of a dog, some mutated rats, and a cow. Fiercely loyal to Dr. D, Chernabog takes the form of a mass of black ooze centered around a nucleus of grey matter. Chernabog will can digest more or less any organic matter that it comes into contact with, adding it to its mass. In practice it tends to stay at around the size of a small dog. Chernabog moves fairly slowly, so when travelling, Dr. D keeps it in a large pickle jar. Chunks of Chernabog can be removed, and have some semblance of life, though all they try to do is eat things before 'dying' after about five minutes. Chernabog can only be killed by destroying the nucleus at its core. Chernabog is also highly flammable. For some reason, Chernabog smells really, really good to Wasted individuals. To all others, it smells like old shoes.
Powers: None.
Techniques:Special Bolts: Dimas can create a wide variety of ammo for his crossbow. Explosive bolts, ones with anesthetic-filled syringes for heads, napalm coated bolts...Dimas usually prepares some ahead of time if he's going out to look for supplies or research subjects.
Skills: Dimas is a very, very good doctor. Not only can he run a practice in a post-apocalyptic world, he can run a decent one. He's pretty okay at building things. Most of his medical equipment is stuff he's manufactured himself. He also has a working knowledge of chemistry, allowing him to make things like explosives and napalm provided he has the time and raw materials. Dimas avoids combat when he can, but he's quite aware that being able to fight is a necessity when a good chunk of his research consists of capturing/killing undead and mutant beasties for research. His primary weapon is his crossbow: He's capable of sniping targets accurate from 60 yards away so long as they aren't moving around a lot. He can wield his scythe without hurting himself, though at that point he'd rather just sick Chernabog on his assailant and run away. Dimas is very good at running away. He's pretty sneaky too. He can move quietly, and is good at finding hiding spots. Dimas has excellent reading comprehension, and easily learns skills from reading books.
Gear: Dr. D's Special Ointment: A green salve that Dr. D makes from various chemicals and extracts from undead tissue samples. It does not infect you with the zombie disease. Instead, spreading it on wounds will anesthetize them, at the same time greatly speeding up the healing process. Small cuts and scrapes will heal in seconds. Larger wounds usually take a minute. Dimas's salve can heal a bullet wound in a bout an hour. Just remember to take out the bullet first. He can even use it to reattach severed limbs if you hold it to the stump and it's been less than ten minutes since it was severed. *Lab Coat: Dr. D has a black labcoat he wears when he does field work. It's actually made from several leather jackets, and has metal plates concealed in pockets at strategic points. It's light, but durable enough to offer more or less complete protection from zombie bites, and can block a bullet or two in a pinch. He uses the myriad pockets to store first-aid equipment
Level: 1
The Story Behind the Man
Backstory: Dr. D's past is unknown. Whenever asked, he always gives a different story. It's doubtful he is an actual doctor, as he would have been 12 at the time of the week of hell. As far as anyone knows, one day he just wandered into Pallet Town and started a clinic. He's a damn good doctor, but he'll pretty much rob you for his services.
Ambitions/Goals: He wants to cure the undead plague.
Addiction/Mental Health: Dimas requires caffeine to function, and has quite the stockpile of coffee. For some bizarre reason the absolute madman actually prefers instant. He also smokes the post-apocalyptic plant called Devilgrass. Some people say it'll get you high, other people say that it's just the placebo effect. It smells like cinnomon when burned, though, which is nice.

Name: Jacuzzi Alias: The Gangster of Love Level: 2 Date/Time: September 1st, 5PM Location: Bushes Tag:@RubyOwl
Next to Kokuro, Jacuzzi was also in the bushes. He was trying to pet Petto. "Come her often?" The blonde asked the magical girl. He wasn't interested in joining the fray at this point. Out of his pocket, he drew a sandwich and ate it as he watched the bizarre humanoid cat. Dealing with furries just wasn't worth it.
Name: Jacuzzi Alias: The Gangster of Love Level: 2 Date/Time: September 1st, 5PM Location: Work Tag:@Holy Soldier@Lauder [@anyone else] ----------------------------------------------
Jacuzzi opened the door of the store, a little bit of blood on his lip. Otherwise, he seemed to be in fine fettle. "Afternoon, Viki. Tatsumaki." He said, before glancing at the ring. "Does wearing it make you fat?" He asked, glancing at Tatsumaki's new form. He could have sworn Tatsumaki was a lot fitter last time he'd seen him. "On the way here I was hit in the face with some kind of rainbow. Crazy stuff. Knocked me off my bike." He sidled up to Tatsumaki.
"Hey. You'll make me the head of the lingerie section, right?" He asked, resting his hand on Tatsumaki's bicep. "I'm an expert in the field of bra sizes. It would be a sin to let my gift go to waste, no?" He was trying to put something into Tatsumaki's hand. It was a bologna sandwich.
Name: Maurice Jacuzzi. Goes by Jacuzzi. Nickname(s): The Gangster of Love Age: 17 Gender: Male Height: 6'2 Weight: 180 Hair Color: Blonde Eye Color: Blue Race: Human Written Appearance: Jacuzzi is a tall and slender young man. He's boyishly handsome, with smooth skin and blonde hair. He's got big, sapphire blue eyes. He trains to become a hero, and while he's not huge, he's got some muscle on him. His ears are pierced, and one day he'd like to get some magic earrings. He changes clothes a lot using his magical powers. Personality: Jacuzzi is a carefree and fun-loving young man. He enjoys using his magic to trick people. One day, he dreams of becoming a powerful archmage, but that's just a means to living a carefree life. His great loves are women, men, video games, cute things, and tricking people. He's very friendly and outgoing, and while sneaky, he's overall probably a good person. Cute things weaken him quite a bit, and he enjoys trying on new clothes. Current Story: Jacuzzi's parents were killed by Lich the Tenebrous. It wasn't because they were destined to kill him by some prophecy or anything. As far as anyone knows, he just did it for fun because he's a dick like that. He left a note, which Jacuzzi keeps with him:
JACUZZI YOU USELESS NERD I KILLED YOUR PARENTS WHEN YOUR TURN 18 WE'LL FIGHT IT'LL BE AWESOME BECAUSE YOU'LL BE REALLY STRONG BUT I WILL KILL YOU AND DEVOUR YOUR MAGIC >:^3 CRAPFULLY YOURS THE ARCHNECROMANCER WHO EXISTS BETWIXT AND BETWEEN LICH THE TENEBROUS
After his parents died, Jacuzzi was left with his aunt and uncle who love him as if he was their own child. They've both encouraged him not to go after Lich, to let the police handle it. Jacuzzi agrees, but he's been learning magic at high school. Mostly because he thinks he can make a lot of money as a sorcerer, and partly just in case.
Level: 2 Archetype: Jake (Totally Radical) Store Position: Sales/Tailor Weapon(s): He can kick people really hard! Abilities: Jake is a magician. He can cast spells, and is learning how to create magical items.
Spells Summon Slime: Summons a slime to do Jacuzzi's bidding. Well. It will attempt to do Jacuzzi's bidding as best it can. Each one is about the size of a honeydew melon, and they come in pretty much any color. They can trap prey by making themselves sticky. If you step in one, it's very difficult to get away. They're difficult to kill: Punching or cutting them is ineffective, as weapons just go through them. They can be frozen, though, and salt will make them shrivel up. Since they're mostly water, fire will quickly make them burst, soaking anything near them. Jacuzzi can summon up to five of them at a time. Bolt: Jacuzzi shoots a bolt of electricity from his hand. The bolt is very fast, being that it's essentially lightning. It usually needs to be charged, and the time spent charging it determines how powerful it is. One second causes him to fire a small jolt. It acts like a taser, and will knock most opponents over. Charging it for five seconds will shoot a more powerful bolt of lightning. This one will render most foes unconscious. He can use it without charging it: This just generates a stream of sparks from the end of his finger. It's not very useful in a fight, but it's hot enough that it can be use as a lighter and for welding. Glamour: Allows Jacuzzi to magically alter his appearance. He can change his clothes and his features, either copying somebody he's seen or making a new person. His form must be mostly humanoid: He could turn into a woman, an elf or even a humanoid fox, but something like a dog or a goat wouldn't be a valid form. He can give himself things like a tail and horns, but they're fragile and not very useful. This spell only changes his appearance: He can't use it to gain new powers. Giving him a good hard punch or slap to the face will dispel the transformation. Changes to clothes are permanent until he changes them back, and he can change other people's clothes by touching them.
Magic Items Cloak of Many Pockets: A green, hooded jacket. It has a lot of pockets. Each one has a portal to a pocket dimension. Jake can store any number of items in the pockets, so long as at least one dimension of the object can fit in it. For example, he could store a broomstick or a katana in the pockets, because he can fit them in by one end. He could not store a watermelon, because he can't fit it in the pockets. Time does not pass inside of the pockets, so living things and food can be stored inside indefinitely without consequence.
-12 rubber balls -A deck of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. -A Playstation Vita. -A bologna sandwich. -A tomato. -A red, aluminum baseball bat.
Friends: Who wants to be Jacuzzi's friend? :) Rivals: Nope Enemies:
The Archnecromancer Who Exists Betwixt and Between LICH THE TENEBROUS
Jacuzzi doesn't even hate him but the dude may or may not be out to kill him.
