Reports come flooding in that northeast America has been thrown into complete chaos. No one can completely say what has happened but it appears to be that the recently deceased have been reanimated.This is what some say a ?Post-apocalyptic sign?. They seem to be violent and are making attacks upon living individuals. They should be avoided at all costs. Little is know on theses assailants. The military has deployed troops to take care of the situation but our troops are failing. Evacuation teams have been sent out and are trying to reach civilians. Make no attempt to leave your domicile and seek out help. Stay indoors and wait for rescue.[/I] ? NBC News Reports

This is an R.P.G. that I have wanted to make for a while and I have finally got around to it. It is like the movie Dawn of the Dead. The world is starting to be infected by zombies and the people don?t know what to do. Here are some facts about zombies that you might want to know, but remember your characters don?t know this. All my facts were in [I]The Zombie Survival Guide[/I] written by Max Brooks.

1. Zombie?s are risen by a virus named ?Solanum?.
2. A zombie has to be infected while the brain is active. (Thus meaning if a dead body is bit, it isn?t coming back to life.)
3. Zombie?s are only able to infect humans, if an animal is bit it dies and doesn?t come back.
4. Contrary to popular belief, zombies have heightened senses.
5. Zombies DO NOT work together, they don?t even realize other zombies exist they only notice living creatures.
6. Zombies only moan when they have spotted food (a.k.a. flesh), this acts like a beacon for other zombies and makes it look like they work together.
7. Zombies do run, but only to the extent of the infected person's physical extent (meaning: fat zombie = slow, athletic zombie = fast).
8. Zombies are not smart enough to use weapons, they are only able to do one thing, feed.
9. Zombies never feel pain or get tired.
10. This should be higher on the list but the only way to kill a zombie is by destroying the brain by melee or ballistics. (you probably knew that)
11. Another way of getting the disease is if you have an open wound and a zombie?s blood or saliva gets into the wound, this could be told because the wound will have a purplish-brown discoloration.
12. Zombies do not need to breath (duh they are dead) so they can go under water but are either limited to wandering around on the bottom of the body of water or becoming bloated after prolonged emersion and floating.
13. 1 in 3 zombies can manage to partially make it up a ladder.

Knowing these facts will not only help you in the rp, but help you if a zombie infestation dose occurs.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Heh heh, a good ol' zombie RP should be fun :)

Name: Gary Conners

Age: 26

Appearance: 5'9'', of medium build with light brown eyes and short, messy brown hair. His skin is only mildly tan, and his face is juvenile and friendly, with a few fading freckles around his nose. He wears a dark blue shirt and blue jeans, with a gray cotton jacket when it's cold.

Status in Society: civilian

Occupation: He works at the local game store while he's trying to find an opening in the game developement industry.

Skills: He's got a sharp mind, but he's not in top physical shape. Though he's never fired a gun, he figures he would be pretty good at it.

Weapons before arming yourself: A pocket knife he takes everywhere and a few small explosive recipes he found on the internet (doesn't currently have the explosive material).

Weapons after arming yourself: A .45 calibur pistol with a box of ammunition and a long, hollow metal pole.

Personality: He's a generally quiet person, though he will gladly talk with anyone who brings up a subject he likes. Mostly he sticks with a few good buddies, who view him as a 'data guru' type of person. He's a quick thinker and loves a good joke.

Bio: Gary grew up in a middle class home with a relatively stable family, and was the youngest of two boys. At 18, his brother went into the army, while Gary (16) was thinking of going to college and getting a degree in technology. Three years later, he did just that, and after graduating lived in a small semi-urban apartment. He got an ok job as a techy for an internet company, but quit in search of a job in the game industry. Unfortunately, there haven't been many openings, so for now, he's stuck working at a game store. His love life has been off-and-on for a while, and while he's working a small time job, it seems like it's going to stay that way for a while longer.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1]Looks like fun, though I think I'll make someone a little more "ordinary."

Name: AJ Erickson

Age: 25

Appearance: AJ never was the largest person, by no means small at his height of 6ft. and 165lbs., but the coaches never really gave him a second glance for any of the sports teams. His dusky dishwater blonde hair flies about as it pleases through the days, and despite his laid back apperance, his dark blue eyes never loose that look of intelligence up to mischeif.
His clothes are always scored by numerous burns and layered with grease from the machines and engines he builds and works on and becacuse of his work, his clothes are very plain, leaving him largely unnoticed by society at large.

Status in Society: Civilian

Occupation: Mechanic

Skills: His greatest talent and greatest love in life, is piecing together the machines that talk to him. They tell him whats wrong and he fixes it, even making the machines run better than before. Whatever it is, if it has a motor and moving parts, he can figure out how to build it and fix it with time.
He took a few Jeet Kun Do classes as well during high school, but like so many other things in life, he couldn't keep his focus on it

Weapons before arming yourself: nothing other than his bare hands and the assorted tools in his toolbox (screw driver, hammer ect.)

Weapons after arming yourself: .357 magnum with only the six shots loaded in it and his tools

Personality: Laid back, easy going and for the most part, likeable if you can show enough interest in the machines he builds and repairs. Otherwise he keeps to himself, more than happy enough to let others be. He's easy going with most folks, if seeming a bit distracted from whatever conversation is being held.
People that that try to get a rise out of him usually only get a blank stare, and those that press him further only get him to leave. The few stubborn enought to get physical ended up getting a good view of Aj's knuckles and backside as he turned to leave

Bio: AJ grew up in a small suburban town. He never really did well in school. In fact he did so horribly they tested him to see if he needed to be placed in special Ed. The school faculty was astonished to find that not only did he not need to be placed in special ed, he probably should've been placed ahead about 8 grades. But no matter what the teachers did, nothing could hold his attention for long and he even began to stop doing the I.Q. tests to him. Until one day he wandered into the shop class when by chance the Shop teacher had been re-assembling one of the skill saws. As the machine roared to life, AJ stood transfixed, marveling at the chugging sound of life that drove the saw blade to cut through chunk after chunk of wood.

He was hooked, immersing himself in every kind of mechanical instruction manual he could find. Cars, saws, four wheelers, even learning to put together a few guns for his dad when he became old enough to order the parts.

there really wasn't enough room in Aj's life for a love interest. He's thought about it, but the woman would have to like mechanic's work to even get him to open up.[/SIZE]

[Guest <Setsouke>]

Name: Ali Jacobs

Age: 19

Appearance: Ali is about five foot four with a good figure. She has light brown hair that goes just past her shoulders in soft flowing curls that bring out her greenish eyes. She has her own style as she likes to wear fitted dark blue jeans with a stylish T-shirt and sneakers to match. Ali usually wears her tied back with some of her curls in the front.

Status in Society: Civilian

Occupation: Works at

Skills: Ali is a black belt in karate and knows more than a thing or two about sword fighting.

Weapons before arming yourself: A nicely designed pocket knife, given to her by a stranger, that she takes everywhere with her.

Weapons after arming yourself: A nicely designed long fighting sword that appears to be very very old, but well taken care of.

Personality: Ali has a good-rounded personality all the way around, though she has a bit of trouble expressing herself and allowing herself to act freely around strangers. She can be very stubborn at times when it comes to what she thinks is right and does not change her mind easily. She has her own mindsets and her own morals and beliefs and will not change them for anyone. Perhaps her biggest fear is allowing herself to trust others as she has paid for that dearly in the past.

Bio: She grew up with foster parents at the age of eight when she awoke from a coma. Not knowing much about what happened or where she was she always had a hard time trusting people knowing that it was because of "them" that she ended up in a hospital. Not knowing much about her past she is afraid of what she will find when she finally allows her mind to remember...

[PWNED]

Name: Hugo Davies

Age: 21

Appearance: [URL=http://www.vnsdepression.com/Mickey-Cool-dude.jpg]Clicky[/URL]
Attire- Hugo wears a long trenchcoat, jeans and a tank top as these were the only clothes he had at the time.

Status in Society: Civillian

Occupation:Apprentice Mechanic

Skills: Hugo is a very tough man, tougher than what most other people of his age and size are. This is credited to his working with heavy equipment and having to lift a lot of heavy stuff.

Weapons before arming yourself: Hugo was only able to arm himself with a damaged sledgehammer that he had gotten from work

Weapons after arming yourself: A new sledgehammer and a high caliber pistol.

Personality: Hugos personality pushes the limits of what an ordinary person would be able to put up with; He is confrontational and possesses a very high opinion of himself which is kind of funny for a guy who was the least popular in school.

Bio: Hugo is the typification of the working class man; He has worked for his entire life to get where he is and is only finally nearing the completion of his mechanic apprenticeship. He originally came from Redback, New Jersey but grew tired of the scenery once he turned 19 and moved out to NYC for a difference. He got a job, an apartment and never looked back.

[DaSilva]

Name: Kent Morrison

Age: 18

Appearance: Kent has blue eyes, and has shaggy, medium length blonde hair, about down to his ears. He is of medium build. He generally wears a band shirt with a black jacket over top of it, and a pair of blue jeans, with a pair of brown Chuck Taylor's to top it all off.

Status in Society: Civilian

Occupation: Student

Skills: Kent is a good shot, and he's very smart.

Weapons before arming yourself: Machete from his garage.

Weapons after arming yourself: Pump shotgun, and dual .45 pistols.

Personality: Kent is your average teenage smarta**. He's cynical in every way imaginable. He doesn't dislike authority, he just likes to question it. Kent can be very philosophical at times, but for the most part he doesn't take much seriously. When it comes to zombies, he is an expert (at least an expert when it comes to zombie games and movies).

Bio: Kent has pretty much an average life--two brothers, divorced parents, a hard-a** stepdad. He gets average grades in school, and has an average job. There's not much to say about Kent, he's lived here all of his monotonus life. He aspires for adventure. The only reason he knows how to shoot is because his stepdad wants him to be in the military. The one thing that sets him apart from others is his chronic cleptomania.

(If this isn't up to par, I'll change it.)
