well I've been thinking. My mind is crammed with an idea.

Its summer, just after the annual harvest festival on the planet of Helbred. An exiting time of the year where the plates are full of food and every glass is filled. Tourists mostly come for the week long celebration (think Mardi gras none stop for 189 hours)

But thats just the back story. During the celebration a infection spreads over the city and most of the population is infected. The symptoms are clear Deformities, and rage to wards non infected.

Now i must say this... There are no Zombies, Think of the virus like a cross between rabies and Ebola, but the infected don't die from it they are merely become infected and then seek out none infected.

The RP is based around a group of civilian survivors clinging to a broken platoon of Neoman soldiers as they desperately try to flee the city but only to become hold up in a sky scraper, surrounded by infected, and no way out.

Now for this RP I've set up some ground rules
A. All RPers must be long haulers, I write novels not short story's you find in the children's section at your local library
B. All participants must have no more then 2 people to RP besides me got forum might add more depending on how the story is going.
C. The characters must be civilians no military training... I might okay security guards though. (don't worry though, Ill pass out the guns when i feel it would be best for the RP.)
D. Have fun :)

note: if this RP gets going will start at the good part, the Outbreak...

note 2: i will check your RP history before i accept you. Post in this thread using this template

Just type up your characters, I'm cool with you joining because Ive read your posts.

Physical description: A well built body that is begining to feel the effects of his age. Although older he still keeps a well built frame and is durable. His hair is a salt and pepper black, and his left eye is a strange red color as where his right is a light blue. While well shaved his body is abit hairy.

nice idea can't wait to read it

Name: Roger Wilco
Age: 19
Nationality: TWP
Profession: Gun range assistant in TWP
Personality: dry sarcastic wit, overly romantic at times, and tends to show no feeling
Physical description: caucasian male, 5'11", rather skinny yet strong at 160 pounds, copper colored hair in a buzzcut, light mustache and 5 oclock shadow having shaved earlier that morning since his facial hair grows rather quickly. Pale blue eyes, wears cargo khakis, and a black t-shirt over plain white tshirt.

OOC: We're not allowed to have anything that would seriously affect RP like weapons right? Is something like a boxcutter or leatherman ok to have on you? And this is more for ISA... powered armor is not allowed, correct? And lastly, I'm assuming this is something like 28 days later?

Name: William Garcia
Age: 28
Nationality: Solari
Profession: Rhythm Guitar and Vocals in a Solari Metal band, professional Redneck
Personality: pretty laid back, has a temper like an AM warhead if pushed too far. Watch out for his wit, it may be hit or miss at times, but when he hits, it tends to be pretty harsh.
Physical description: Hauling amps, studio equipment, guitars, stands, and the other associated paraphernalia of a heavy metal band around tend to make one rather well built, at least in the shoulders, back, forearms, and biceps. At 6'1 and some 200 pounds, he is not a small man, however, he's also not a giant.

Assuming knives are oked, my guy will have between 3 and 5, as that's my standard loadout when out about town, or chilling in the woods nearby. Yes, it's excessive, no, that's never stopped me before.

Let's try the equivalent of an FT 3 inch Buck folder, a Kershaw blade assist and a Victorinox Swisstool. They're all suitably FT, but otherwise just knives.

Alrighty... well my guys has a leatherman multi-tool then. If that's ok.

I am playing two humans from no particular nation. I obviously went with the Alice Cooper theme with the characters so you can play on it all you want, I plan to…


Name: Steven Cooper
Age: 08
Nationality: undetermined
Profession: student
Personality: shy 3rd grader
Physical description: small for his age, Steven is that shy dark eyed dark haired classmate that people never really notice. He didn’t really want to come on the vacation but since there wasn’t anyone to take care of him he had to come along.

Name: Alice Cooper
Age: 26
Nationality: undetermined
Profession: Waitress/unemployed actress
Personality: She sometimes forgets about her son when she starts to dream of making it big in the movies. She used her savings to come on the trip.
Physical description: average looking blond (at the moment) mother of Steven. She won the vacation package from a contest for Cornies™ cereal. She figured it would be a good trip for them both but hopes to meet a film producer she read about in the Interplanetary Inquirer™ that is supposed to be scouting for talent at the festival for his new horror movie.


Please let me know if these are acceptable.

Neoma so you know what he going about he talking of this armor i have and use only by my SF troops

k, but still no armor


okay everyone so far is accepted. I'm going to set up the Ic and occ threads shorty prolly tomorrow

Is the OOC thread going to have a character list?

How about a infected character? I would need more details about the virus though.

this isnt dead is it?

I believe we are waiting for the starter post and the links to be done

Yeah, I know that we're waiting... that's also why I was asking if it's dead. He made that post 3 days ago now.

"Good things come to those that wait" and "Patience is a virtue" are two sayings that come to mind.

Actually I bet he is just real busy with Real Life and haven't had time to post.

sry guys, i had a family emergency.

'Tis okay. Hope your family is too. I'm still good for this rp if it's still on.
