This is a Zombie story. Choose whether you want your character to be a human survivor or a zombie looking for human flesh. I will provide the template, and you can fill it out. Then once about 8 or so characters are in, I will periodically write chapters following these characters during a zombie outbreak. One character will die once in a while, depending on where the story goes (I will use some fair way of deciding who it will be). The chapters will come out whenever I finish them, so you'll just have to wait in between while I write. By the way, if you make a zombie character, it will be one of the many original "Test Subjects" that accidentally released the virus into the world, and so it will retain a bit of sentience and intelligence, moreso than the random generic zombies. The government is involved...you will get pieces of the backstory. Also, these zombies are stronger and more durable than human beings, so don't take having no weapons (Being a zombie) as a disadvantage.
The template:
Zombie or Human?:
Name (Or former name, if zombie):
Age (Doesn't apply to zombies):
Weapons (Within the realm of possibilty; Doesn't apply to zombies):
Appearance (General looks and clothing, still applies to zombies):
Current Location (This takes place in a fictional American city, such as "Raccoon City"):
Background (A brief backstory and personality assesment):
Have fun with this. And I hope my writing skills are up to par.

Zombie or Human?: Human
Name (Or former name, if zombie): Jeff
Age (Doesn't apply to zombies):16
Weapons (Within the realm of possibilty; Doesn't apply to zombies): A sword and a pistol
Appearance (General looks and clothing, still applies to zombies): tall with lots of muscles wearing a SWAT armor from the police station.
Current Location (This takes place in a fictional American city, albeit: "Raccoon City"): In a police station
Background (A brief backstory and personality assesment): This is a person who has one concern in this world finding out if his girlfriend is alive or if she died yet.
FYI Albeit means altough it be. So it doesn't work where you put it.
-
Wow, now that you mention it, I have no idea what I was thinking there. Wow. Thanks for pointing out that mistake.
-
Oh, and Kaiser, no. No ninjas or pirates or space laser cannon alien dragonball collecting robots. This takes place on Earth, in reality, where there just happens to be zombies.
Also, I should have made this more clear: This entire story takes place in one fictional city. Fictional. So when I say location, I mean like "An apartment near the bay" or something.
-
Fine... But I think being a ninja is possible.
-

-
Three posts, FTW. I'm trying not to restrict you guys by burritos the city landscape and background story of the outbreak open right now. Once I'm in the story, It'll form around the characters that you have made.

Name:Jackson(human)
Age:17

Appearance:6/4. Combat boots. Black Pants, shirt and leather jacket.
Current Location:New York.
Background:A mercenary Fighting for his life. Mission-kill everything that is a threat. Zombie or otherwise. Has military training.
I wanna team up with Kaiser.
Did you even read my last couple posts?
And I forgot to say, for this, I'd like you guys to think inside the box. Then I can expand the story from there.
-
Edited my post
-
Edited. i didn't see your post. Is my character okay?
-
Great. They're fine now. Thanks for joining up.
-
Also, Abbie, I'll try to fit your character in with Kaiser's.
-
Flask, i seriously doubt people will want to be zombies. Also, can other weapons be found, like a chainsaw?
-
Awesome.
Zombie or Human?: Human.
Name (Or former name, if zombie): Liam
Age (Doesn't apply to zombies): 26
Weapons (Within the realm of possibilty; Doesn't apply to zombies): Whatever he finds. =P
Appearance (General looks and clothing, still applies to zombies): Long brown hair, brown eyes, slender facial features. Very stern, calm, and controlled. His whole stature and features scream calm, and confident, and collected. He wears fancy clothing more then anything, sticking to blazers, with white under and high-end jeans and sneakers. Never Vans. Wears watch on right hand, though is right handed. Wears bandanas on forehead at all times, even if they clash with outfit.
Current Location (This takes place in a fictional American city, such as "Raccoon City"): Such as the infection or his story? Add me in with one of the other characters, please. I don't want to think up a whole fake city, I never liked that.
Background (A brief backstory and personality assesment): Served in the Special forces for five years. He quit after he engaged an old friend of his after he went AWOL, and had to shoot him. This caused his personnality to drop in the realms of coldness, almost. He learned alot in the SF, including strategy, weapons handling, and survival skills. Though on the last part not much more then your average ranger.

K.

Wethepeople is making us look bad.
-
I also changed the number of characters we need to 8. I need to try a lower number than 15 at first, and if I'm good at it, then maybe I can increase it if there is another one.
-
>_> I write once in a while for a hobby, or when I'm bored. And I don't like to have super characters. The more real they are, the better.
Flask, also, for the SF training Liam has, don't think Arnold in Commando. Think, say, Man vs wild. Knows how to parashute, use resources for survival, can spot helpful plants and sniper spots, etc. Realistic stuff. No knowing how to drive every vehicle or anything .xd
-
And C-zom, I'll just put your character somewhere in the city. The point is to NOT have a map of the city or a layout, so that I can be more free with the design as the story progresses.
-
Wow wethepeople really went in depth.
-
I was going to add more.. but. >_>

Yeah, my goal for this is to make it seem real, as if these poor souls had to actually try to survive a freaking zombie outbreak. I mean, there are no Rambos when the enemy is trying to eat you.
-
We need a goal. and specifics.
Goal:
Find source of outbreak and stop it?
Survival til the army arrives?
Take City hall?
Kill all the zombies?
Specifics:
Will there be civilians?
Vehicles?
Other weapons?
-
DK, you're in a zombie outbreak now. Whats your objective? Survive. Question solved.
-
My guy has a objective.
-
Which is....?
-
Okay, sorry for not saying this before.
The goal of all these characters is to escape the city alive and get to the another part of the city (An island portion) that has been sealed off to the zombies. It is something of a safe haven. There might be one or two of your characters who just want to kill zombies, or are intent on rescuing others.
There will be many civilians still within the city. Some have barricaded themselves (relatively) safely inside buildings, some are out killing zombies, some of the police force may still be trying to save people, or some have just gone completely insane.
There will be no vehicles, as gas has run out. There may be things like bicycles scattered about.
There will be guns and such lying about, but what your characters will find and use depends completely on their situation, location, and need. They can't pick up a chainsaw and use it to cut a swathe through zombies until they escape the city. It's just not practical. They may use something like that out of desperation or bad judgement.
-
When do we start?
-
And not everyone knows how to use, say, a M16 automatically. Having knowledge in a 9mm means squat when you hold, and try to fire and steady an assault rifle.

Zombie or Human?: Zombie
Name (Or former name, if zombie): Mick Steel
Age (Doesn't apply to zombies): NA
Weapons (Within the realm of possibilty; Doesn't apply to zombies): NA
Appearance (General looks and clothing, still applies to zombies): Black hair, brown eyes (bloodshot from deadness), 6'2, 240 lbs. Wearing a black t-shirt, baggy jeans, brown Converse sneakers (for sneaking up on people and eating them).

Background (A brief backstory and personality assesment): Before turning into a bloodthirsty zombie, Mick Steel was an aspiring filmmaker. He was born to a single mother who raised him and his little sister, Mackenzie. Mick was shooting on location in the Red Light District for his documentary, "America's Shame" when a zombie rushed the location and bit Mick. Luckily Mick was able to escape but he couldn't stop from becoming a zombie. Finally after barricading himself into his car in a parkade, he turned into a deranged zombie.

If you can't fire it...use it as a bat.
-

Exactly. The army didn't leave tanks lying about that you can just drive on over to the island.
Also, this will start when we get at least 8 characters.

Current Location (This takes place in a fictional American city, such as "Raccoon City"): Cobson, Washington state. Well y'know just so we have that terrain, good stuff.
Background (A brief backstory and personality assesment): Before turning into a bloodthirsty zombie, Mick Steel was an aspiring filmmaker. He was born to a single mother who raised him and his little sister, Mackenzie. Mick was shooting on location in Cobson for his new indie film "Another Day" when his set was attacked by a horde of zombies that had recently moved into the area. Fortunately for Mick, he was able to get away although suffering from a zombie bite to his arm. Over a period of hours Mick turned into another zombie in a cave outside the town of Cobson.
Just so you know, this all takes place in a fictional city. So, this character is fine, but he will be placed in this city.
-

Yep. I think this'll be good.
-
Oh... Gotcha. I'll be in the Red Light District!
-
I remember another zombie roleplay, I did once. It ended when we set plastic explosives to a wrecking ball and rammed the ball to where the zombies were coming from.That was awesome.
-
Hah, okay. Okay.
-
Also, as I said before, don't expect me to be cranking these out. I have to actually write them, and well.
-
Also, Kaiser, forgot to ask: What type of sword does your guy carry? Like, a medieval sword, a katana..? What?

Except for the bloody hole in her head. But yeah, this character's alright.
And Esteban, a zombie is still a zombie. I suppose your guy can "look for a cure", but he's still going to need humans to eat.

Zombie or Human?: Human

Just one more character needed, then I can begin writing!

My guy has a Katana.

Zombie or Human?: Human
Name (Or former name, if zombie): Jessica Stryker
Age (Doesn't apply to zombies): 29
Weapons (Within the realm of possibilty; Doesn't apply to zombies): military pistol x2, combat knife
Appearance (General looks and clothing, still applies to zombies): upper 5 feet in height, light-mid 100s in weight, khaki military clothing, brown tinted sunglasses, combat boots, brown belt, brown/blonde hair normally in ponytail), blue eyes, sexy body - well-toned, carries a cellphone with her at all times.
Current Location (This takes place in a fictional American city, such as "Raccoon City"): Either in a police station close to the infections or in Washington DC military outpost. (your choice)
Background (A brief backstory and personality assesment): Joined the amateur boxing league in her late teens (around 17), she dominated until the age of 20. She was then offered the chance to go pro which she was going to accept, but was in a car accident which ended her boxing career. After she recovered, she joined the military and at the age of 27, she was promoted to deputy minister of defense for her outstanding work. She still holds her current job. She likes to get things done and doesn't screw around when it comes to doing something necessary. May seem a bit bossy at times, but normally gets along well with others providing they don't act like complete idiots. Doesn't express emotions often as she feels emotions only weaken you as a person. Has military training and is efficient in most military weaponry. Quite athletic. Listens to 80's rock/metal and sometimes older country music (such as Johnny Cash or Reba).
I think that covers mostly everything.

She's Deputy Minister of Defense? What? Okay, whatever. I'll do my best.
Well, that's 8. So, I'll start on the prologue. Expect it sometime!
-
Minister of Defense in only 2 years? She must have done DAMN good work.
-
Just so everyone knows, this is taking place in a fictional city, but it's supposed to be in the US. So sorry to people from other countries.

-
Okay. I'll use him. But just to clarify, I let you input your character.
-
This is RP...right? Not a story. Right? Right.
-
It's a story. I posted the Prologue.
-
Name (Or former name, if zombie): Nicholas Long
Age (Doesn't apply to zombies): 18
Weapons: He has a small pocket knife, tools for a fire, and a survival handbook
Appearance: Jeans and a T-shirt. Shaggy, curly brown hair. 6'4", 175 lbs,
Current Location: In the woods camping with friends
Background: There's nothing much to be said for his history. He's a laid back sort of person, witty and sarcastic. He's outgoing, a bit rash, and a little egotistical. He's a born entertainer, and was an athlete when he was younger. He's still fit, but laziness and lack of exercise are beginning to show themselves in his physique.
-
Okay, I'll take Shy's, but after this, NO MORE CHARACTERS. It's harder than you would think to deal with 10 characters in a story when you have to make them all seem like themselves.
-
Minister of Defense in only 2 years? She must have done DAMN good work.
Actually, she has been the Deputy MoD for two years. She was in the car crash at late 20/early 21, spent about a year or so to recover, took military training, took a job in the military (was actually the former Deputy MoD's secretary), and when he quit, she took the job.
Just a little clarification.
-
Okay.
