congrats to you three ^.^ you have all been added to the accepted characters list!
I think I am gonna have two lists. Accepted, and Current characters. Accepted will mean that I have thouroughly read through your CS and like what I see, and Current characters means your cs has been moved to being able to play. so, as people get to jump in, I can keep moving them and more cs's can keep coming. And dont be afraid to comment on other characters. This is the OOC after all ^.^ it would make me feel better to know I am not the only one judging the quality of the well-built characters.
So far im liking what im seeing. Gonna give it another week and then we'll start up. This will allow me to make another letter as well as a bit of Tyrant action with militias and such
First Letter (Interest Check)
Life was happy. Everyone was happy. The year was 2020 and technology was at an all-time high. Poverty was at an all-time low. Everything seemed to be perfect for us. And that's when they fell. The "Keys" as they were named. Bits of alien technology. Pieces of a civilization whos whereabouts are unknown. Whos very continued existence is unknown. But these pieces of their existence are real, that's for sure. Theyu came down, in all different forms and natures, each causing damage in its own way, each causing their own kind of suffering. There are 5 so far. Keys, I mean. There are five different kinds of keys. Each one a different color.
The orange, which is the second most dangerous but the most common, falls anywhere where a high intensity light is given off. Spotlights, power generators, a house in the middle of nowhere, even some of the other keys, if the conditions were right. When it would hit, an emp burst would go off. The bigger the Key, the bigger the burst.
The purple key, though not quite dangerous, was the second most common. Falling in random places and creating craters, the one thing we knew about this special gem was that it could upgrade ANY form of technology to the alien's standards. And I mean ANY form. Attach it to a gun, suddenly the gun will glow and shoot off a new kind of ammunition. Attach it to the sword, and now the sword can be compared to a lightsaber from Star Wars. These were the keys that the military definitely didnít want the common people even knowing about. So pretend I this part of the conversation didn't happen.
The yellow key. These keys fell at an amazing rate. Just under purple, in-fact. Attracted to any high heatsource, once they fell, they would land on the source and turn it to the hardest form of natural processes it could. Lava turned to obsidian. Forges turned to bedrock. Hell, even hot air turned to stones and fell out of the air. But the secret behind this key is a machine. Inside each yellow key is a one-use machine where the green key would fit into place.
The Green Key. This was the one the scientists called The True Key. The only one with a defined shape--a cube--this key holds data in a one-time-use function. These keys could be placed in a machine from the yellow keys and would project bits of data on a wall or such, revealing new information on the keys and destroying both the green key and the machine from the yellow key in the process.
The blue key. The rarest, but the most dangerous. No bigger than a quarter, this key would fall to any large power source--a power plant, an old nuclear bomb site, even during a lightning storm. Enough energy and one of these would be right behind. Now, I know you're thinking "Oh, what could such a small key do?" but some of you will be thinking "Okay, narrator says dangerous, must avoid." Both are correct and incorrect. First, when the blue keys land, not only do they emit large amounts of heat until picked up, but upon impact, any man-made, well, anything man-made, period, within a ten-mile radius would be absolutely obliterated. Fall apart. Wiped out. Gone. The materials could be gathered and the objects remade, but a lot of the parts that would hold the materials together would be turned to ash. Now, you need to avoid the impact, but not the key itself, because the key itself, when placed onto an engine, would make the engine be able to run without fuel and become immune to any damages caused by keyfalls.
Shit. Running out of paper to send you this letter on. I've told you what you need to know. I'm pretty sure you already knew about the world in crumbles in a post-apocalyptic situation, but I know you. You're smart. You can figure out how to rebuild the world as it was. How to stop these keyfalls, and how to take down the tyrants that have rose us.
I don't know how long it will take you to get this message, but as your friend, I am begging you to not give up hope. Don't worry. I'm safe.

This is the OOC, as of course, so please read the following rules to be sure to follow:
1. There are currently 11 slots open for initial play, but more will open up later on. This IS NOT a first-come-first-serve. I will be searching for the best character sheets to start out, then further down the line I will slowly add in more in the order they were recieved. So in order to get first spots, you must show you can write like a pro.
2. I do not want any Bad-asses. There can be a few with military experience, but most shall be normal people. If you wish to have military experience, stick it in your CS and I will ask you to make a change if I feel you do not need the experience. (Which, if it doesnt do too much else, I doubt that will be necessary.)
3. All first spots shall start out together. Anyone coming in later on shall be notified and will have to find a way to write themselves in. I AM WILLING TO GIVE WRITING HELP FOR ANYONE STUCK ON THIS.
4. Expanding on that last rule, I am here at all times to help anyone with any questions or who is needing help writing for suggestions. I try to be a good GM. I want to help you be the best roleplayer you can. Please, come to me with any questions, comments, concerns, or for any form of help with my Rp.
5. Expanding further on that last rule, I need everyone to try and take no more than 2 days to make a new post. We need to make sure that everyone can continue to play. If you feel like you will be inactive for more than 2 days at any time, just come to me. We can figure something out, whether it's Character Controlling, or you wish to place your character in the hands of another player, or even if you wish to make a "Dramatic scene" where you can jump out for a while and jump back in later on (though this will be the final alternative).
6. Write your best and do not be afraid to kill your character off. If I see a player writing with excellence, I WILL garuntee a new character spot upon their character's death. We wouldn't want our best roleplayers just leaving us, now would we? ;P
I think those are simple enough rules. Should be pretty easy to follow. Please make a single character using the following CS:
Yes, I know, this is a pretty good size CS, but it will be worth it as you will see a vast developement of your character throughout the game. Btw, as a hint for the CS's, those with description rather than pic, will get a bit more favor with me, and those with both, well, I REAALLY tend to like those ;).
As a fair warning: I am an excellent writer as you have seen and though I love to play the good side, I am talented with playing on evil's terms. I love to play games with my roleplayers and this game shall feed on your character's fears. Those fears shall become part of you and you will be scarred. This is only for the bravest of writers and the strongest of souls.
Play along if you dare.

I let it stay up through the weekend to generate interest. Ooc will be up soon
"Dear Reader,
It has come to my attention that you have recently inquired with one of our top scientists about these "Pieces of the Heavens" as you referred to them in your recent note. You asked what they were and why they were causing so much damage. I am sorry to inform you that your request for information cannot be granted at this time, as the military wishes for civilians and their households to not worry. All I can say is that the situation is now under control and you do not have to worry. When the time comes that the presses are back up and running, we will release the information to the public.
Thank you for your interest in our foundation and your inquiry on the matter,
Dr. Grant Sattyr, Chief of Operations, Keyfall Corp."
That was over 15 years ago and the "situation" that was supposed to be under control has only gotten worse. This "inquiry" letter was a 6-page interview I sent out AS A REPORTER FOR FOX 3 days before the biggest rain of blue and orange keyfalls ever known to man fell upon this Earth, decimating life as we knew it. We're down to just under 4 million known population. AND THAT'S MOSTLY MILITARY. Anyway, I have a proposition, but I need to know first, will you listen to everything I tell you to do?
Respond with a letter attached to my eagle, Sapphron. Whistle the tune to Dixie and she'll zoom off to my location. Don't ask how I found you. Just know that I'm on your side, if you'll trust me.

Forum: Casual Roleplay
"The Doc"
Age: 32
Relations: None. All family is dead.
Equipment: Field medkit (missing some gauze and all anti-biotics, but has two spools of thread and three stichting needles inside), Canteen with home-made filter that's almost worn out, Rusted Kopesh-style machete with a worn-out sheath, and a medium backpack that currently holds just the medkit (canteen is strapped to body and machete is in sheath strapped to hip)
Personality: Doc prefers not to use his real name, as it brings back old memories that he does not enjoy. He loves meeting new people, but tends to avoid making relationships. He's never had a wife or kids, but even though he acts like he does not want to grow attached to anyone, he secretly wishes for a family of his own. He is very strong and is able to hold his own against a Stalker in hand-to-hand (though he prefers to avoid that if at all possible.). He can survive long enough to allow someone else to kill a clicker that is attacking him, but he cannot kill it himself, as has been proven many times, except when he sneaks up behind one.
Short Bio: Growing up on a farm, Doc tended to love working with animals and people, learning quickly how to treat even some of the most serious injuries. He joined in the military as a field surgeon and quick medic in times of war, but went AWOL 3 years after deployment, putting him behind bars when they found him. He worked his time away as a doctor, getting out 5 years early, a few days before the outbreak. Meeting up with the group, he has used his skills numerous times to save many lives, though he could not save the infected, though he has tried before.
Other: Even though he is a surgeon and doctor and can stand the sight of blood, there is something about the extent of the injuries that clickers have that throws his stomach off. This weakness of his gut is what causes Doc to become unable to handle a clicker in a fight, but the same fear drives him to at the very least, survive.
(enough of a non-badass for ya? ;P I'll add another character later on in the rp, when i find more inspiration and what may be needed)
Tomorrow, i get my computer back from the shop. I will have the first IC post up. Be ready with your posts. Heres a quick summary of what you should expect:
