One month ago an event started. People started coming back from the dead, or rather a few. And if they bit someone, then that person would strike a fever, die and then also come back from the dead and look to eat people. This spread quickly and the cities had been turned into safe spots meant to be safe. These ended up as breeding grounds basically and within two weeks the cities were gone, and now people live on the road, or hidden in plain sight, etc. It is one month now after and people are working to survive in the new world.

Things to know: Be real. An accountant won’t have a rocket launcher, so be real and think about what your character would know and what they would have and how they would get it. Five years olds wouldn’t be traveling alone but a teen might. Also a child will adapt better to the world due to growing up in it, rather than someone who is in his thirties. (By adapt I mean things like how they deal with death. Same goes with someone’s history.) Characters will change a lot, so you can have someone who’s bubbly become someone who’s depressive and cold. Our characters will be a group that works together to survive, always looking for a safe place. And you don’t need walking dead knowledge as stuff will be explained in the RP, and I’m always open for questions.

The zombies: Only die by damage to the head. Slow, but groups are dangerous and they can come out of nowhere. Usually they are making moaning sounds though, and are attracted to noise. Killing one will result in blood on you. They rely on smell to a sense.

Your character: Different backgrounds mean different skills. For example and officer may be good at noticing things in a home, but tracking in the forest he wouldn’t be as good at. And as I said before, an accountant wouldn’t have a rocket launcher because he’s an accountant not military. Also consider age if you want a child to be on their own. And if you and someone want to collaborate to have your chars know each other before RP start then go ahead. Just let me know of any edits to SUs after posting them.

My SUs
Name: Hakudoshi Ikadoshi
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Birthday: June 17th
Hometown: New York.
Appearance: Hakudoshi has short messy brown hair that goes no further than his yellow eyes in length in the front. He stands at six feet, and is fit as in muscular but not by too much and healthy. He has slightly tanned skin, and covering his whole torso is a tattoo of a dragon.

Personality: Hakudoshi has a strong sense of “justice” and looks to help people. He was also a playboy, though knew to also play it safe. To him nothing is more important than his sister, and he would do anything for her. He is brave and rarely afraid of anything other than his sister being hurt in any form. He is quite cheerful and friendly, but also know when to be serious. He has no issues killing someone if need be.

Background: Hakudoshi was the first born son to his middle class parents. For the first five years of his life he grew up happy and healthy. Then his sister was born and he immediately fell in love with her, becoming a doting older brother. Five was also the age in which he had met his best friend who had a nephew that was a year old. The two boys remained ever close, taking their nephew and sister on constant play dates and thus creating a bond between the two babies. Life was good, he had good friends at school, had decent grades, and was pretty popular, considered good looking by the ladies. At sixteen this changed. Around thanksgiving when the family was gathered, the house was burned down, everyone inside of it. Only he and his sister made it out, stuck watching as they lost everything. From there he did not spend long mourning. He got legally emancipated, got his GED, and got guardianship of his sister using what they inherited from their parents. He then became a police officer and quickly moved up the ranks to become a detective. Despite the horrible event, he worked hard, him and his sister living contently, even managing to send her to college. While he dated, and had some fun, he never married or had children. His best friend from childhood was his partner in the police force and they remained inseparable until the event hit.

Skills: -Hakudoshi knows how to use guns, and while his aim isn’t perfect, it’s good enough.
-He is good at investigating and noticing things that are off.
-He is already highly aware of his surroundings, and knows how to move quietly and what not.
-He has shown skills in being a leader.
Weapons: Glock 22. 12 gauge shotgun. Knife.
Other Supplies: Flashlight. Canned food. Water-three gallons. Handcuffs.
Other information: He speaks Japanese and English due to being half Japanese and half American.
What happened when the event hit: Being part of the police force he had to help out. However once the cities proved to be unsafe, he took his sister and snuck out, being separated from his partner while doing so. He now assumes his partner and his family are dead, and while painful, he is looking at the future of protecting his sister. They are now still near NY, but in the country like part.


Name: Junine Ikadoshi
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Birthday: November 18th
Hometown: New York
Appearance: Junine has long originally layered white hair. (Now it’s growing out though.) Her eyes are violet and her skin is white in the truer sense. This is due to her being albino. She is tall at six feet, and fit as well as she kept in shape. She always has on a leaf shaped locket and on her upper right arm is a large burn scar.

Personality: Junine is strong willed and doesn’t take crap from everyone. She is also kind and respectful, and loves helping others. Most important is she cares about her brother more than anything. Even though she has never killed anyone, she would if she had to without any issue, as long as her brother is alive.

Background: Junine was the second born child in her family. She was happy with good parents and a loving older brother, who ended up being the link to her best friend. This happiness lasted until she was eleven around thanksgiving. When the family was visiting, someone set fire to the house and her and her brother were the only ones to escape. On the way out she ended up being burned on her right arm. Likewise they lost everything but the clothes on their back, and a gold locket of her parents that they had given her. From there her brother became her guardian and worked hard to take care of her. She likewise worked hard, studying hard to the point of AP classes and thus by twenty two she was done with her second year of med school.

Skills: -Medical knowledge due to her few years of med school.
-Good accuracy. She is quite good able to hit from far away.
Weapons: Glock 22. Katana.
Other Supplies: Flashlight. Canned food, and a gallon of water. Sunscreen galore.
Other information: She speaks Japanese and English due to being half Japanese and half American.
What happened when the event hit: Her classes were cancelled due to the event so she went home to her brother. She had spent what little time passed studying to try to get ahead in school. When the cities failed she left with her brother to get away. They are now still near NY, but in the country like part.

Could I have a reserve on this? This definitely looks like a good RP.

Name: Henry "Huck" Bell
Age: 33
Gender: Male

Birthday: February 16th

Hometown: Sanford, Terell County, Texas

Appearance: Huck has neck length, sandy brown hair which he parts in the middle to keep the bangs out of his eyes, usually the hair is messy, curling in wide curls many different places in several direction. Standing at 6'3, Huck is definitely an imposing man, it also helps that he has a wide chest and defined muscles due to his time serving in the US Army and keeping with his workout regiment. He wears a scruffy, close-kept beard which rings around his square jaw, and starkly contrasts with his silver-blue eyes. Huck's time in both Iraq and his home in Texas has left Huck with darkly tanned skin on his entire body.

Personality: As a stranger, Huck is somewhat gruff and cold, even before the event, Huck was wary to trust many people. Once familiar with people though, Huck can be warm and friendly, even so, he leaves his friends with no room to be stupid.

Background: Huck had a fairly normal child, his parents were the picture perfect, high-school sweetheart, couple. They ended up having three children, Huck, the oldest, and a set of twins, one boy and one girl. Growing up in the Texas, Huck pretty much always knew he was going to enlist when he turned 18 so he mostly worked on training himself physically, which is not to say Huck is stupid though, while he may not be a genius, Huck is a competent tactician and knows his way around a problem. Once he turned 18, Hank quickly enlisted in the U.S. Army and after serving two tours in Iraq, Hank joined the US Army Green Berets and began his career in US Army Special Forces in the 10th Special Forces Group. For 5 years Huck was in the Green Berets, however, after numerous paratrooper missions throughout Iraq and parts of Northern Africa, the cartilage in Huck's knees was completely destroyed, rendering him unable to do any field work. For a year, Huck tried to stay in the Army doing desk work but in the end realized it wasn't for him and soon he retired. He now spends his days at his small ranch in Texas, coaching a local high school football team, going to the gun range, working out, and relaxing.

Skills: As a Green Beret, Huck is skilled in the art of CQB, along with being a marksman, and a somewhat good tactician. Unfortunately, due to the lack of cartilage in his knees, Huck is almost constantly in pain and is also no longer as fast as he used to be, making it hard for him to run or do any sort of fighting maneuver that would require him to be quick on his feet or put any stress on his knees at all really. Huck has also been known to prefer following as to leading.

Weapons: SIG P250 chambered in .40 S&W, currently has 1 mag 1/2 full and 2 empty, replacement mags, (Suppressor, flashlight), Spring unfolding Karambit, Desert Camo, Semi-auto, AR15, chambered in .223 Remington, currently has 1 mag 1/2 full and 1 mag full, (stubby foregrip, 4x fixed scope.)

Other Supplies:
1x Canteen
1x Sun hat
1x Simple emergency First Aid Kit (2 bandages already used and one alcohol wipe used already)
8x canned food
1x fishing line
1x 10 ft. length of rope.

Other information: None really, he likes cats. Speaks Arabic fairly well, nowhere near fluently though, also not really useful in America.

What happened when the event hit: After hearing the news of the event, Huck quickly grabbed what supplies he had and headed down to the local Army base, thinking it would be the best place to be. Upon arriving, Huck's old CO placed him on a Helo full of civvies bound for an army base in New York, hoping the area would be safer. During the flight over New York, the severely over packed Helo stalled and pitched to the side, causing the Helo to spiral down into the countryside below. Upon crash landing, most of the survivors were either DOA or picked off by zombies. Huck luckily managed to survive by the use of his pistol and a ton of luck. Once out of the area, Huck settled down and bandaged his wounds sustained in his accident.
 
Where will this RP start? And can my character be a friendly zombie? How does one become a zombie? Is it a virus or bacteria?

1) In the US. I prefer everyone to be near each other so they can become a group faster, but if they want to start elsewhere in the US then thats fine.
2) Read the first post please.
3) You can't be a zombie.
4) Read the first post please.
 
Interesting effort but from one survival horror fan to another, there are a couple of bits that you might want to change:

There is safety in numbers but not always. It may be good to have most if not all of the players starting out seperated. Then the characters that survive long enough could try meeting up at some "safe" place. (if they so choose) To give everyones person time to develop.

No rocket launchers? If I was an accoutant working at a military base, I know what kind of weapon I would be grabbing.

Depending on the character, I do not think that a (friendly) partial zombie person would be impossible. (there were a lot of borderline cases going on during the prison season) It would probably need some kind of a handicap though.

I would consider adding pokemon zombies because well, Bulbagarden.


Just some brain food for thought.

I don't plan on them being in a group right at the beginning. As I said already in response to HS. I prefer them to be near each other.

I said for people to be realistic. A normal accountant would not have a rocket launcher.

Considering I read the comics and watch the show and have passed the prison part in both, I think you need to check your facts. While some do some disturbing things with the zombies, there is no way for someone to be part zombie. Anyone who knows the walking dead knows this. Someone could screw a zombie, but considering the males are dead they can't ejaculate, and considering the females are also dead, they can't birth anything since they aren't going through menstruation anymore. And if someone is turned with a baby in them, it shouldn't effect the baby unless the baby dies, which then the baby would also be one. There is literally no possibility for there to be a partial zombie or friendly one in TWD, and that's the universe I'm using.

Sorry no interest in a crossover.

Just some brain food for thought.

Thanks but I'll pass because I've already thought plenty about this RP and I see no improvements to be made because there is nothing wrong with it. It's a Walking Dead RP, nothing more or less. Thus I'm using that universe and that universe's rules.
 
Ah, I meant more along the lines of what part of the US we'll be starting in. Like Colorado, or Nevada, or Hawaii. Also, I'm very sorry, but I don't see where it says whether the disease is bacterial or viral in nature.
 
My mistake, the best zombie Rp that I had been in was a lighthearted one. If you are going for strict realism then I cannot help with that. Not my cup of tea.

Well I'm having my characters start out by NY, and while I would like for everyone to be near each other, anywhere in the US is fine save for Hawaii, because oceans.

That part will be revealed in RP.

Tip of advice for the future, unless someone asks for advice on their RP, you honestly shouldn't give it because that looked like criticism not advice, and considering its called The Walking Dead and considering what I said in my first post it was pretty obvious this isn't a goofy RP.
 
Name: Ari Shinohara
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Birthday: May 29th
Hometown: Manhattan, New York
Appearance: Ari is a mix of Japanese and Swedish nationality, with slanted eyes and a narrow face. She has fair skin, though it is a bit on the tan side. She has black hair, in the form of a mohawk styled somewhat over her eye. The haircut is short in the back, for personal reasons. Her normal clothing is often a tank top, olive jeans, and a thick military jacket she received from her father. Her Swedish traits are composed mainly of a thin upper lip, thicker hair, and a flatter nose. She has many scars upon her face and back.
Personality: Ari is a serious girl, and one that doesn't like to joke around. She's relatively quiet, yet not a complete introvert. She's a risk-taker, though she knows when enough's enough. Ari loves a good adventure, even at the risk of potentially losing her own life along the way. All in all, she's a brave soul whom puts everyone's safety before her own.
Background: Ari grew up in Manhattan all fifteen years of her life, finding some form of comfort in the city. Her father, the source of her Japanese heritage, served in the military for most of her childhood. She only saw him on occasions, being raised by her Swedish-American mother. When he did come home, however, he taught her all about combat and war. Her father would even host boot camps for her and her friends way out in the back-country, where there was next to no civilization. After her father retired from his military services, he gave her his military jacket and became a more prominent figure in her life. Her mother passed away a few months later due to illness, and a little before the apocalypse hit, her father was gunned down in a drive-by shooting. Since then, she has been on her own.
Skills: -Hand-to-hand combat. Not too useful on the dead, but effective when fighting the living.
-Semi-fluent in Swedish and Japanese, though her true tongue is English.
-Has a vast knowledge on guns and other weapons.
Weapons: Her father's old M16 rifle, a few cherry bombs from boot camp, a hunting knife.
Other Supplies: Ammunition for the M16, a few protein bars, a survival pack with a water bottle and first-aid-kit.
Other information: N/A
What happened when the event hit: She was at the Broadway Theatre with her friends. After that, she ran all the way back to her house to collect supplies.
 
@White Raven; Accepted, but don't forget the event hitting just started as a few cases that grew over the next month. And I do need to know where she is for when the RP starts.... Also did you know Ari is a boy name... it's only a girl name when it's the nickname of a girl name, such as my name Ariana....
