• "Alone" - Zombie Survival RP
    82 replies, posted
So I saw this in the other thread. [url]http://innawoods.net/[/url] And saw it was ridiculously cool. I've always wanted to make a game, based around actual teamwork and zombie survival. Not, "You looted a ton of guns and ammo. Now you kill things." And really utilize real world skills. This will also largely focus on story. I don't want this to be the typical, "3 zombies come your way. So and so shoots them in the head and they get away safety." None of that. I did manage to create a 5 or 6 month long interactive that updated multiple times daily, spanning 1,200+ images before calling it quits so I do have the dedication. I've been told I'm good at storytelling which is another reason for wanting to do this, so I can improve as a writer. First off, I apologize if this is the wrong section. I found no where else to post this, and I've seen RPs and whatnot in here before. Anyways, I want to start of small. Having a max of 6 players in the thread. I will be running this daily, but until summer it may be a bit slow on the odd day. Finals and whatnot. I have decided to start it now to see whether it will sink or swim before summer vacation starts where I can dedicate my time to it. I need time to dedicate to it, as I am very, very organized and structured meaning I want to take my sweet time so things look nice. [B]How it works/Rules:[/B] Submit through PM (any of them posted on the thread will be ignored) in this format: [B] Name: Age: Height: Race: [/B] This is mainly for me, to create storyline and to know how to interact with your characters. I don't are about personality, as that will obviously be shown through character. [code]- I will be running a bunch of stuff behind the scenes. Keeping track of health, hunter, thirst. Things like "sanity" and whatnot will be portrayed directly though your characters via the players. You can just ask me to post what your current status is, but asking for someone else' isn't allowed. Stay in character for that. - You will all be plunked in the same place together through storyline, sorry. If you guys separate, I will be sure to distinguish what area you guys are in and keep those storylines separate. - Someone in the group turns around and shoots you in the face? Too bad. You're dead. I will not have "karma" and kill that person off through story. But if the other players decide to kill that person off, awesome. Justice has been served. - You guys can keep track of your own thirst and hunger as well, I'm mainly here to be like, "So and so is getting dangerously thirsty." and stuff. - You guys can request to see your inventory merely by asking. However, I will be keeping inventories private. - If you die, you can request to bring a new character in, provided no one else wants to play. If I think you're trolling, I won't let you in. ***- The only real rule is that you can't pull things out of your ass. It has to make sense from where it came from. Example: You can find a fresh bottle of water in the fridge, but it's warm. You would most likely not find 40 bottles of water, ice cold, and ready to be stored and moved.[/code] [B]How the inventory will work: The app uses a save and load system for updating the inventory. So I will save in a text file, your guys' code. Anytime your inventory gets updated in here, I will update it quickly through the app. This allows me to update very quickly and get your inventory posted up. [/B] I am leaving it up to you guys to be fair about how things work. But at the same time, giving you full freedom. I'm merely what causes things to happen outside of what you guys are doing. If you're not really into deeper more serious RP, I wouldn't recommend this for you. And I do update very, very quickly. So if you post a request for your inventory, I'll most likely have it within the next minute or 2. I also update the storyline very often, so I hope you are active. If you become inactive or want to quit, I will either kill you off after asking you, or you can message me that you're done and I will free a spot up and kill you through the storyline. This is basically an interactive story, as I do already have a story in mind. You guys are just going to manipulate it. If any of the readers get bored, send me a suggestion for the players. I want it to be fun to read as well, not just to play.

I want to play but I can't imagine I'd be good with RP
It's okay, send in a character in anyways and just see how it goes.
What is your definition of "race"? White and black, or elf and human?
I think it's 'Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic, etc...' EDIT: Sent in character info
Alright. [editline]29th May 2013[/editline] Sent in my character info.
I'll get this updated soon, as I have 3 people wanting to join. [editline]29th May 2013[/editline] 1 slot left.
Got my info in. What's the ETA on the storyline?
Will be up today. Slots are filled! For anyone who doesn't know, this works by claiming your "turn". I will interject if something happens, in which you can react afterwards.
How do we manage character background, like if they were in the military or something?
[QUOTE=Kartoffel;40831024]How do we manage character background, like if they were in the military or something?[/QUOTE] After I post the setup and intro, post your information about yourself. Basically introduce yourself through your character and story once I post the intro. EDIT: I will already have started you all off in the same place. Also, please note that when I post your inventory, some of it may not be 100% accurate. All of you have basic clothing, but on the inventory it will look the same. Describe your looks how you want, not based off the inventory character, the inventory is a representation of what you have. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [I]"Alone. That's what what I am, alone. Trapped in the middle of... Who knows where.. The sign off in the distance had been changed to "Terroronto". What the sign originally said, I have no clue. I recently spotted 6 survivors rushing into one of the hospitals on [B]Bathurst street[/B] for cover before the bombs fell to clear out the city. Most of the place is now in ruins, but I can only assume pockets of civilization still exist. I am currently taking refuge within the [B]Tim Horton's on Dundas street W, down the street from adjacent to Bathurst and close to the hospital[/B]. Food, water, and it's quiet. I can see down the street to the hospital, 4 days. No one has come out, I hope they're safe. "The Caregiver" - March 17th, 2016.[/I] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [B]The 6 survivors are in the lobby of the "Terroronto" Western Hospital on the first floor cafeteria. Only 1 exit available as the other exits are blocked by doors. No dead bodies here, only the 6 of you.[/B] Please post your "starting" information. About your character and whatnot through dialogue/inner dialogue. Also, the story will be given through the journal of, "The Caregiver". Lots of information is taken from real life, not made up. So street names, and whatnot are real, but I don't recommend spending all your time searching for the street names online. It's possible to find a map.
[b]Djolar Zambius[/b] eyes his fellow survivors nervously. Just hours ago, he was working frantically to stem the tide of oncoming injured into the hospital as an ER doctor. Now, no one was coming in. The sudden change in mood, from the discordant cacophony of screams of pain and frantic bustling about, to no sensory stimulation, was unnerving. He stroked his handlebar mustache, rubbed his nose, and thought about his next move. [b]Djolar Zambius decides to try to loot the kitchen area for survival supplies (foodstuffs, and a knife if possible.)[/b]
[B]Walter Yoo [/B]sinked his head into his hands and firmly kept his eyes shut. His mind was unable to accept anything that have happened throughout the past hectic hours. Everything went by so quickly, so suddenly that it sent Walter's mind into overdrive. There were so many questions and seemingly no one knew any sort of answer. Frustrated, scared and equally angry, Walter decided it was time to step up like his Father would've told him to. Finally, he pulled his chin up and noticed the others who came with him. Each of them looked distinctive and acted in an unique manner but one man in particular resembled a character from one of his failed artistic projects. There was a quiet intelligence in his eyes and a surprisingly fitting mustache. The man stood up and started to head off without a word. [B] Walter decides to follow Djolar Zambius into the kitchen to stay safe, ask questions when necessary and loot anything valuable for self defense and survival.[/B]
[b]Nathan Edwards[/b] rubs his close cropped blonde hair and straightens his hawaiian shirt with a chuckle. Absolutely the damnedest thing. He turns 21, and BAM! Something he had only joked about with his friends was now all around him. Honoring a bet he made with a now zombified friend, he asks anyone if they have any cigars. After no one gives an answer, he rolls his green eyes and follows his newfound comrades. [b]Nathan follows Walter and Djolar into the kitchen to look for anything he can use for self defense (as well as cigars).[/b]
[b]The 3 surviors walk into the kitchen. A clatter is heard, and a man with a steak knife charges at Nathan, with terror in his eyes. He leapt out from a pile of bags and knocked over a pan, signaling his location to the group.[/b]
[b]Nathan quickly slips behind Walter and bolts out of the Kitchen, saying "Not a zombie, man!"[/b]
[B]Walter shouts in alarm and dives for cover. He desperately tries to find something for self-defense and shouts at the mustached man (Djolar) to defend himself. Also, Walter yells at Nathan "Get help!"[/B]
[b]The man sees Nathan run out of the room. Turning around, he turns his attention to Walter, pointing the knife at him. "I-I don't know how you got in here but you give me your stuff and leave me the fuck alone!!"[/b]
[B]Walter slicks back his black hair with a sweaty hand and slowly rises from the ground. He raises both hands to the air but slowly shifts his feet into a comfortable stance just in case this 'negotiation' would break down into a fight for survival. He reluctantly makes a friendly smile on his face. "Look man, I-I don't want any trouble. I didn't even know you were in here. Tell me what you want from me and you'll get it. All I have is my wallet, my dead cellphone and my clothes. I just don't want any trouble."[/B]
Kirbs: Medium long brown hair styled backwards, with a beard. Wearing a casual shirt with a red vest over it and some jeans. [B]Kirbs charged at the man pointing the knife, holding him him with a struggle[/B]
[B]Surprised by the sudden appearence of a man in a red vest and his daring attempt to subdue the armed 'maniac', Walter, acting on pure instinct, throws his strongest punch at the crazy man's stomach. Pumped with adrenaline and stress, Walter attempts to twist the man's wrist to disarm him.[/B]
[b]Nathan calmly walks back in and starts looking for a weapon to claim as his own.[/b] Off the RP topic, I'm going to sleep.
[B]Guillermo[/B]: White tank top, black baggy trousers and a basic homemade cross necklace. Very short hair near bald, with a stubble beard. [B]Guillermo slowly walks in to the kitchen area before bursting into laughter," Look at you puppy dogs, this is quite the performance ay?" [/B]
[b]Djolar Zambius, seeing Walter and the crazy man engaged in a melee, attempts to break them up.[/b]
[b]Nathan decides to help Walter, and delivers his strongest kick into the back of the crazy man's knee.[/b]
[b]'Alright, let's stop kicking him and see if he can tell us anything.' Kirbs takes the mans arms (with help of the others) and holds them behind the mans back. [/b]
[B]Finally, Walter succeeds at wrestling away the knife from the attacker. However, he didn't realise until now how much effort it took in that little scuffle and so falls flat on his ass. Throwing off his cheap sport jacket, Walter mutters "thanks" to the other survivors, except for the laughing balding Mexican who cheered on from the sidelines.[/B] Walter Yoo's Inventory: Beige trousers, a dress shirt and a navy blue sport jacket he was wearing for his job interview before the end of the world happened.
[b]'Look's like it's just us, what do we do with the crazy one?' [/b]
[B]As soon as the man in the red vest spoke, Walter begrudgingly stood up on his feet with his newly acquired steak knife in hand. "Um we-" His voice comes off squeaky and whiny. Walter clears his voice and broadens his shoulders to look intimidating whilst the crazy man stared on. "We should find something to tie his wrists or something. Then we'll ask questions.[/B]
[B]Guillermo walked directly to Walter, " Yo ese why don't you hand that knife to me, cut his throat much easier than bothering to tie him up.[/B]
