so yes, This is an RP inspired by project zomboid. If you haven't played the game, It's basically your standard zombie survival affair set in Knox County, Kentucky.
The zombies are of the slow, Damage to the head variety.
now let me lay out some basic rules!
All of the obvious ones apply (godmodding, metagame, ETC) If you're a compotent roleplayer, you likely won't cross any of these boundaries.
Now, on to the unique ones! and little tidbits and facts and stuff that Nai would like to give ya.
Okay, the first one: Count your shots! ammo is a rare thing in Knox county, and You can be sure that you'll be running out at the absolute worst moment possible. (I.E. Instead of "he fired a burst" you should put "he fired a three round burst" or something similar)
If you get bit, you die. You can protract this, and make some interesting RP, or choose the honorable way out, and off yourself. Or, if you get bit in a limb, you could always cut it off. But blood loss makes you just about as likely to die as the zombie bite! So, be wary. A bite from an infected person inevitably means something unpleasant.
Character sheets, optional, but reccomended.
Here's mine!
Name: Marion Sibley
Species: German Shepherd
Brief description: If you could pick one word to describe Marion right now, it would be tired. Not from lack of sleep, though that does contribute, but more from a jaded world-weariness. He has to remain alert in this new world, and one thing tantamount to doing so was sleep. But when he did, it came in fits, and was plagued by nightmares. So, in effect, he got no rejuvenating sleep, only what was necessary to live. That was all anyone could get of anything anymore. What was needed.
He wears a set of camouflage fatigues under a tan vest with a multitude of pouches. On his hands, he wears a pair of tan tactical gloves, faded with use even before the outbreak.
His rifle, a simple, yet effective AR-15, was common throughout the United States, and it was common due to it's immense amount of customizable options. You could change out the barrel, the stock, the handguard, the sights, anything! He had elected for his rifle to have a decent length 11.5" barrel, and an adjustable Combat scope with a backup red dot sight on top. It was all he'd really need, anyways, so why buy thousand dollar grips and lasers?
He carries a slick looking, black survival knife as a backup. The thing has a double serrated saw on one edge, and a curved cutting edge on the other.
History: Marion was born in Muldraugh, destined to die in Muldraugh. Especially with the outbreak going on, the army keeping him in Knox. He had no major problems in his life, he did decently in school, had only one incidence with drugs, and became a police officer, because that was what he wanted to do. But then the outbreak came, and his status as a police officer meant nothing anymore. People would only respect him by a show of force, because that's the only thing that anyone understands nowadays. They won't respect him because of his job, they'll respect him because he is good with a rifle.

I already have so much on my plate right now but...ZOMBIES!
Name: Liam Grey
Species: Pine Marten
Age: Young adult, 23 years old.
Description:
Liam tends to stand a few inches taller than most. As a marten his features closely resemble a weasel's but are more pronounced. His tail is also wide and fluffy just like a fox tail.
His fur is covered mostly in dark brown with a dull red-ish orange color highlighting his cheeks, neck, and chest. His paws have the same coloring as well as the inside of his tail.
Under his fur Liam's body has been marred by poor diet and lack of exercise, even after the out break. The marten carries the brunt of his obesity around his waist where a sizable stomach spills over onto his hips and into his lap. Flesh has however also begun to thicken the creatures flank and his chest, softening his neck and limbs as well.
Possessions:
Shirt- a simple blue dress shirt, dirty and torn, rests upon his shoulders. He leaves it unbuttoned, leaving his belly and chest exposed to the elements.
Shorts - a pair of tan shorts with many pockets. A hole has been stitched in the back to allow room for ones tail to show through.
Necklace - a shark tooth necklace. it fits rather snuggly under the fur of his neck.
Hatchet - An old weathered hand held hatchet. The blade is dull. it fits into a pocket at his hip.
Crow bar- A large metal crow bar.
Backpack - Liam has a small messenger bag strapped to his back. The strap cuts deeply into the fur of his chest.
Background:
It's only a mirical that Liam has survived this long.
Working as a receptionist to put himself through college he never really had the time, or really patience, to pick up the survival skills that other more experienced people had that have fallen to the horde.
Due to his inactive life style and unhealthy diet the marten's once lithe and trim body has slowly succomed rounded out during his college years. Another factor worming against him in a world populated by flesh eating monsters.
Liam can only imagine that it was his cautious nature and, a bit embarassingly, his love for science fiction that has gotten him through the mess he found himself in.
He was passing through the city to visit some friends when the out break hit. Since then he has teamed up with various survivors to escape the hordes. Unfortunetly the only people left alive at this point are those crazy enough to survive. Tensions rose, arguments flared, and when the going got tough the party scattered, cutting the plump pine marten loose as dead weight and leaving him to die in the ensuing chaos.
Ironically the marten managed to survive on his own, at least for the last few days. The fates of his ex commrads are still unknown.
Note: Liam is a dynamic alt. In otherwords plauers do not need permision to attack, wound, injure or even kill Liam, barring instantaneous KO...which is very hard to pose a reaction too ^^
I'll let the gm decide his fate by any means he deems worthy when the zombies come after him :D
Will this alt work? If so, where can i post him?
-
Ooh! Good stuff, as usual coolcoyote! I'll let him in, and if us read the IC, you'll see that Marion made a radio broadcast; or you could happen upon the building. Or I could send some zombies after ya! You're a good RPer, so I'll let you decide!
-
Thanks ^^
I think i have an idea. How long has the out break been going on?
I've only played a demo once of the game but i know the concept :3

-
I'd like to think about three weeks; about a week to have the infection reach any sort of actual mass, a week for the Army to set up it's barricade, and it's been six days since the army has set up it's quarantine.

-
A husky! Yay! Welcome to Knox county. ...i think it was someone elses turn. Life kind of came in and said 'nope, you gotta do offline work stuff, no rp for you!' So I idled a bit and then everything slowed down XD
-
do i need acceptance or do i just jump in?
-
I thought it was your turn Mr yote :u
-
And yeah, you're in
-
sweet be on soon!
-
I posed actually :3 it was a short one Dx
Also someone got a fancing new icon I see.
-
What happened to this RP?
-
Shepards turn i believe. Unless i cant see it some where.
-
Well i went and Shepard was on when i posted so... i have to wait i guess.
-
Lol! Pushing poor liam out the window. XD Liam is so plump he would totally buy you ten minutes before the zombies finished him though....
-
He's so plump he just might not fit lol
-
That's kind of what would have happened yes XD ill pose later today.
-
Lol. Well we wait with bated breath.
-
Just to let you know, I am a bit slow these days. Times are busy on my end :p
-
Eh. I'm going to the movies so I'm not too rushed. X3
-
Well I'm playing half life two!
-
Behold a post! I mean that at most I will be able to get on or two posts perday :C
-
Good game. #gabencan'tcountto3
As long that you post a bit per day that's perfect in my mind.
-
Your qlt is going to have nightmares...fore ever...after finding a zed under her bed.
Did you need someone to spoof your boogy man zombie for you to fight :3
-
If someone wants to that would be great!
And that was the point!
-
I can do that
-
sweet! now whenever you are ready you get the first action.
-
Posted. Most likely not going tk be online for the rest of the night XD
-
alright! if you don't then i will see you tomorrow.
-
Shepherd? You here still?
-
Sorry, went to swimming lessons.
-
Where in the ocean? XD
You've been gone for a while.
-
Yeah x3 last night I was letting you two do your thing
-
Well i think coyote was waiting for you because we haven't continued after one action.
-
Well I'll take a shower, then make a post.
-
Alright. I'll wait till then.
-
Lol yes sorry XD I did not wish to snipe you shepard :3
Post Merge: July 03, 2015, 05:05:13 PM
Cant make it too easy for you drakey :3
-
Pat kinda can't do anything right now... she is just a little occupied.
-
Actually Shepard posted his alt calling out for her. Its on tbe forth page :3
-
Yeah and she heard it and started crying.
-
I mean shepard posted this after she started crying. Then my pst created a new 5th page.
"Hello?" He called out again, placing the rifle onto a table, looking around for a suitable weapon. If he swung his rifle again, the stock would crack, and the rifle would be rendered either useless, or highly inaccurate.
He found one in a heavy, steel crowbar. Not the best weapon. But it definitely had utility.
He blinked. Was that... sobbing? "Hello, you there?" He called out again "I'm here to help!"
-
Oh... must have missed that. >.>
-
Lol! It happens. Most likely I am going to roll to see where Liam ends up. I will not be available for a few hours so feel free to continue with out me a while...just please dont make 10 pages of posts while I'm gone :3
I actually had players do that on another site. 10 pages. The first time. They made 4 pages in one day from the morning I posted to the evening I logged on <.<
But other wise feel free to continue on with out me for a bit XD
-
WTF no science of decency in some people.
-
I will post shortly. Going to roll a D4 to see which area liam chooses to hide in.
1 pie store
2 bookstore
3 pharmacy
4 warehouse.
-
There's a suprise in one of them, won't tell you which.
-
I rolled a fourm Liam goes for the warehouse :D i wasnt sure if you prefured to describe it so I just posed Liam making it there.
-
You picked the surprise one! Good job!
-
Eep! Er...is it a new car D:
I dont think its a new car D8
-
You'll see!
-
I should have mentioned that I'm a college student. So for most of the day i won't be able to post, during the week.
-
That is perfectly fine with me. Its better to rp at a relaxed pace than a rushed one.
Also I laughed when you spilled out the ammo. :3
-
i thought i would be funny. :3
-
Oh nuuu! Run liam run!
I feel like I should roll for this next pose.
6-5 Liam finds something in the next office to use as a weapon against the lynx.
4-3 liam finds nothing! But is aware that matt is going to eat him.
2-1 liam has no weapons and doesnt realize matt is trying to eat him.
Sound fair? I am open to suggestions :3
-
Personally I think that it's too early to kill off Liam. But hey your choice.
-
Heh. I say make the last one just one, cos it's a catastrophic failure, and add that extra point to the middle one.
-
I rolled a 5 incase anyone was wondering :3
If Liam survives this he is going to need so much comfort icecreame...

As far as epic zombie deaths go shepard that was impressive :3
Your characters are hack at the origional house now, right? The one we all met up in the first place?
-
So...on a completely random subject. :3
Have you ever been in the mood for a stoey but don't know why? Lately I've been in the mood to send one of my gluttonous adventure alts into a story where their vices put them into danger and possibly get them eaten by monsters.
Like maybe have an adventurer let himself get out of shape before taking a dangerous job or have some theives hole up in a village that fattenes them up for dinner etc etc.
-
Haha, that's cute. I could put Liam in a liiiitle more danger, if ya want
-
Lol!
I was thinking of making a seperate thread for the adventurer story :3
And a little danger is always welcome ^.^
Poor Liam. Poor poor liam XD
-
X3 well I gave him a distraction, don't want him getting in too much danger, right? I mean, he's cute x3
-
I don't have any gluttonous characters so yeah... but the idead seems interesting.
-
Liam shall use this distraction well o.o
Also if someone wanted to play the monster / villains wanting to eat / maim / make a rug out of the heroes thqt is fine with me :3
I am mostly brain storming ideas but im open to suggestions.
Post Merge: July 11, 2015, 08:31:35 PM
I think Liam is where the party is. If not...well...he is going to make a fine zombie meal XD
-
Hmmm, maybe I will toss Liam into a story somewhere as an adventurer. If not I was planning to use one of my other off server personalities called Bandit, like Liam is generally portrayed as chubby and glutonous but with more snark, less class, and generally more usefull in combat XD
-
Don't ask why I gave him an accent >.> It's probably breaking character or some such, tell me if you guys hate it, lol.
and, if you want, Mr. 'yote, I could be the bad guy in a bandit story. I could be a rather ft (And good looking, not to mention) Bounty hunter, who gets all the ladies
-
Heh. So what kind of story should I toss my adventurer and your bounty hunter in to o.o
-
Hmm... how about another zombie apocalypse? But mideval this time, lol. Or we could say you take over a decently sized village, and I am sent there to hunt you, or something.
-
His accent's getting thicker and thicker >-> it's kinda fun to write, tbh
-
Heh lol. Accents can add a little life to a character.
As for the adventure stoey idea. Which sounds more appealing. Having your alt coming to rescue a town from a dragon / monster, or coming to hunt down an adventurer / thief?
-
hmm, why not both? hunt down a thief that has a pet dragon.
-
Looks like player 4 has joined the battle! Also I think I know how to work in Bandit the fox (or any species he needs to be) into a story with dragons and bounty hunters :3 the thief the bounty hunter is after can be the sacrificial victim to the dragon >:3 or some such sillyness like that XD
-
Oh i can totally be a Dragon if you want someone to RP him... or her depends on what i want to try.
-
Lol that might be fun :3
Ill get back to you guys on the adventure arch. In the mean time...
Im going to be gone thursday night to sunday morning. I dont want to hold up the story but Im not quite ready for poor liam to bite the dust either.
What should we do with our morbidly obese marten xD
Also sorry for snipping you there drakky but i couldnt resist XD
-
I don't think we would mind waiting for a day. Look at me for example! XD
-
I would of had this up sooner, but I kind of spent an hour on it and then my browser crashed, causing me to loose the entire text.. I bet you can guess how pissed of I was, haha. Sorry if it's not as detailed as it could be, trust me. My previous one most likely had double the word count.
Name: Hanns V. Reinhärdt
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Species: Skunk
Occupation before quarantine: USAF Captain equivalent in the German Federal Defense Air Force (Luftwaffe)
Personality: Hanns wasn't the type of person who would walk up to a complete smile on his face and tell them his entire life story and try to make friends, he was anything but that kind of a person. He preferred to work as he wasn't the best a getting along with others and only on rare occasions did I get along with another person within a group or team. Along with the fact he didn't like working with others, he was even less fond of the idea of being with others. Hanns spent most of his time in his room or garage, working on small projects such as useless gadgets building just for a laugh, to his most tedious project, the restoration of a Junkers Ju 87.
Backstory: Hanns wasn't born into a rich household, nor was he born into an underprivileged one, he was born into what was considered middle class at the time. His family was one of those nationalistic ones who loved their country very much which rubbed off upon him, making him proud to live in the country of Germany, despite it's past. His parents, Morgan Szostek and Karl Reinhärdt, both served in the German Federal Defense Air Force, his Father being primarily a mechanic while his Mother was both a pilot and a mechanic.
Throughout school, he excelled in the classes of English and History, was average in Science, but was horrible when it came to Math as it was was not interesting to him, Hanns had to take math Senior year a second time just to graduate. After High School, he enrolled straight into the Luftwaffe and server until this whole "outbreak" happened.
Personal Possessions:
- A cap. Though, it wasn't just your average cap, it was a WWII SS Officer Cap of black/dark grey coloring.
- Urban fatigue of the colors black, white, and grey which almost matched his fur color. He also had in possession an extra set, but those were torn and worn and now used for rags and patches.
- Casual clothing which consisted of minor damaged black jeans, and a grey T-shirt which was blank besides the faded text which was no longer legible.
- A standard hiking backpack which could be found at any local camping supply store.
- The necessary survival items such as field dressings, a half empty lighter, trust duct tape, three small/medium containers filled with grains and spices, a multi-tool, canteen of water, and a leather sack which held quick perishables such a meat.
- Leather, steel toe combat boots. What did you expect, sandals? Yeah, no.
- Loose rounds of ammo, about seven different ones that didn't fit his weapon.
Primary weapon: A trusty, well worn, Soviet SKS with a PU scope attached to its upper rail. To go along with it, Hanns had four ten round stripper clips, two of which actually had ammo within it. With the twenty rounds, he had five extra in his pocket in case of a rapid emergency which required a few more rounds when the clip ran dry.
Secondary/Melee weapon: What's better then an axe? An axe made from salvaged street signs! That's right, this trust weapon his fashioned from a "stop" sign, the handle of an old axe, duct tape, and paracord!
Appearance: Hanns was a well kept skunk with the normal markings and long, black hair that matched his coat, the length of it reaching his lower back. His eyes were blue, a mix in hue between the sky and the blue waters of the tropics.
-
I sense a ww2 reenactor! Welcome to the club man!
I do US 2ID myself, along with my dad and a few of his friends. We were aaaaalmost an 82nd airborne glider division (mostly because we wouldnt have to change our gear much and some guys wanted to be airborne, lol)
-
Haha, The World Wars is my favorite history topic so when it comes to any type of military appliance, I always add a touch of my favorite subject.
-
Haha. My dad has some cool german stuff, like the helmet, fatigues, and 98k of a NAZI soldier. I think he has an old Luftwaffe uniform, but i dont remember. He doesnt let me look through his uniforms much (wisely so)
-
So, is my character sheet on par with the requirements and expectations to join in on this roleplay of yours?
-
from shepards reaction I think your set. Your character with a detailed back story will be eaten in three posts :D
-
So, is my character sheet on par with the requirements and expectations to join in on this roleplay of yours?
Man, its quite above par. You're in, %100!
-
Ok im going to be gone for the next three days. Feel free to say that liam got seperated from the group in the next zombie horde scene XD he will appear again when I get back
-
I'm glad to hear such a thing, it's been quite some time since I've participated in a roleplay like this, hell, it's been forever since I've roleplayed in general! Anyways, is there any certain way I am suppose to introduce myself into the story, is is that all up for me to decide?
:?
-
Decide for yourself man. Its a free world! (Oh and i can't seem to PM you)
-
Really? Well then, that's awesome! (I don't know why you're not able to, I don't have any settings against people messaging me.)
-
Yay! Im back!
-
Was waiting for ya! Or something like that
-
Yay! You're back! Meaning one of my favorite RPs is alive again!
-
Actually its shepards turn :3 or the new guys....either works :D
-
I'll join along once I feel the right time has come, but for now, I'll just linger until I see a time frame fit. Sorry I couldn't reply yesterday, it was my birthday.
-
At least we know you're lurking! XD
-
XD thanks for catching that plot hole there drakey XD
Sorry got distracted today by offline stuff and forgot Liam is leading this charge XD
-
Not si much a plot hole as in a plot pit! XD
-
Whoes turn is it? 0.0
-
Anyone besides me. I went last.
-
Shepards turn.
-
I think we lost him.
-
I think your right XD the question is what to do now? Pause untile he gets back? Seperate the group via zombie attack? Or run a different plot until he returns?
-
I don't even think he had a plot to be honest. :/ and considering how he left without warning i don't think he's coming back anytime soon. Well technically we are already split up so we will say he got lost or something on the way.
-
Sorry, I let course work kind of distract me there XD
Ate you still interested in continuing? Or trying something different?
-
I think at this point we should just make a new thread. But let's keep it a zombie one. Do you want to make it or should I?
