This was going to be done on the Paxian Private Forums. Spoilers: IT NEVER STARTED.

Also, read every post in its entirety please. Even others' sheets. You will see my response and further developments.

Me on TR forum
 
This is an RP done by myself and Fishtank. We will be the GMs as well, controlling everything.

Quick Premise:

Posted Image

In the near future, there lies a metropolitan city that was once an economical empire. Skyscrapers, subways, but no one speaks of its previous name. Nowadays, the proper nomenclature is one phrase- the only words that are spoken to refer to this place- The City.

Almost everyone is gone. The remaining few have woken up with little to no memory or understanding of who they were or how they got there. Some remember better than others, but no one can recall an apocalypse.

Now, the City barely stands. It is a skeleton of its former self. Mutated zombie-like creatures stalk the City, but there are multiple foes to fear. However, there is one creature that is particularly devastating- they call it the Solstice. Few have lived to see it, but it rarely comes out.

Meanwhile, two men have taken matters into their own hands. I, myself, will be RPing as Ulysses, the muscle of the duo who have taken over. Peregrine is the Machiavellian scientist, Odysseus.

Oh, I forgot to mention. There's a corona of toxic gas outside of the city. There is a shield system up that Peregrine's character (Odysseus) made before the apocalypse. He is the only one who really remembers what happened, but he tells no one. The current development is that Ulysses and Odysseus are trying to get out by rebuilding the shields to a mobile version to exit and trek through the gases, but this would require all the power from the main shields.

Thus, it is a race against time. Ulysses and Odysseus are gathering as many people as possible before a certain date- for, once they leave, the city will be overrun by the gas. While Odysseus researches, Ulysses gathers people and weapons. The pair operate out of the subway system that runs underground throughout the whole city. So far, they have recruited people to guard many areas, but they need more time and people.

Essentially, your character will be either: Living with the underground society, which consists of about a 1000 people, or part of the ~100,000 people in the Upper City. Some will work for Ulysses and Odysseus, some will be independent... you decide.

Just know that Ulysses and Odysseus have water and food- just not a lot of it.


Me again
 
The City is fairly large. In Manhattan, there are 1.6 million people. Manhattan is not that large.

The Zombies aren't a huge threat. However, they're slowly reproducing. There aren't that many of them.

Also, the apocalypse just happened. People don't know what's going on. As far as groups and safe havens, that's up to you guys. Zombies are more like creatures, and they are fairly fast. However, they're weak. A few 9mm would kill them. They bite you and you get the infection, etc. Some say the zombies came from places outside of the gas and then just reproduced here, but some say they're immune.

The shield protects us from the gas. There's no way out yet. Guns are fairly rare, especially since the City had fairly strict laws. No one knows what's beyond the shields.

Also, I wouldn't mind there being a small war between humans. Od and Uly (cute nicknames) have enemies. Amass a gang that lives somewhere else, it's cool.


Let's try and get an idea of the population here. In the City, a Manhattan sized area, there is overpopulation for the conditions, but still not a lot of people. They're usually crowded into downtrodden buildings and are often sick and starving. We can build the landscape from here on. In an alley, you might expect to see about ten people, and the streets are where many sleep. Thugs and hobos run rampant. The Horde, as we will call the zombies, have a base somewhere that is unknown.

To everyone: You better not god mod. I reserve the right to have you get shot if you seem to be invincible. If you're in a gunfight, gosh dangit, you might just get shot.

Alternatively, play your role. If you're getting sniped from a tower, you're probably going to get shot. And that sniper will probably be fine. The original plan was for the GMs to control battles, but that wouldn't be fun.

I have no doubt that some of you will be humble. For example, I expect Cial to be conservative with his .44 magnum. He has six bullets in it, so he's not going to be able to reload in the heat of battle unless he's got cover for a significant amount of time. Not to mention that aiming down the scope and getting a good shot would take a lot of time; "Cial shot four mutants with his gun, reloaded, and shot another six with his scope" is far fetched.

Another right the GMs will reserve is god modding. Usually we won't do much, but if you want to be sure that nothing will happen to your character, I encourage you to PM myself or Fishtank or add us on MSN before you post to make sure it's within reason. We have an idea of where we want this to go, but as long as your posts don't change the plot significantly, you're fine.

Note, you can't be as cool as I am. You can acquire armor throughout the RP though.

Name: Ulysses

Remaining memories / history: SECRET.

Current standing (where you are, your goals): Explained in first post.

Clothing/armor/style: Ulysses wears a white dress shirt tucked into his black jeans. Making only the collar of it visible, he also wears a level IIIA bulletproof vest. This protects from up to a strong .44 magnum bullet. He has multiple ballistic trauma plates under those. Bulletproof helmet that goes around head, this one isn't as strong as his vest, but it's still level IIIA, just no plates under it and it's thinner. Also wears tight sap gloves, gloves with steel in the knuckles for that extra punch.

As mentioned, Ulysses usually dons worn, faded black jeans and black combat boots.

Weapons / Abilities:

Updated: Usually carries a semiautomatic, scoped Knights Armament M110, as well as a Heckler and Koch MP7.

Other: Ulysses is a man of mystery. He is very similar to his partner, Odysseus, but is more humble. He's a firearms expert and oversees distribution, maintenance and training of and with them. He is witty, appreciative, and rational.

Odysseus here, my character sheet is coming tomorrow. I just gotta make sure my backstory fits with everything already established as I'm tied to it. I'll be modding this RP along with CC by the way, but don't worry as I'm not as big of a jerk moderating as I am posting my opinion.

So no supernatural, paranormal, fantasy-like stuff? Sounds cool, let me think for a moment before I make up my mind.

I think that's pretty much it for my character. Do tell me what needs to be removed/replaced and else could be done.

Quote:
 
Name: Will Spencer

Remaining memories / history:
Before the apocalypse, Will was a well-respected police officer from the City. He had served the police for a good amount of years, fighting organized crime, protecting the civilians from thievery and assaults, whatever a policeman would do on duty. That's all in his obscure past now, as the only things he remember now is that he used to be a policeman.

The only things he remembers now is where he used to live, his family and the incident at southern City. After the apocalypse that none seems to recall what happened before, there was a group of scientists, pharmaceutics and another bunch of people working for a phamaceutical laboratory. Their sole purpose was to find out how to produce a vaccine for the infection that plagued the now-called Horde. Will was in charge of helping defending the laboratory against The Horde that would sometimes attack the place. One day, they were overrun, a Solstice accompagnied with a large number of Infected attacked the laboratory without warning. With shame, he and his sister had to flee the place before being infected. His sister was infected in the escape, and she forced him to leave her behind. Since then, life's seemed to be more cruel than ever, and his mood seemed to worsen. The once loyal, proud and honorable police officer became a mercernary with only survival instincts and a grudge against the Horde to guide him in this crisis. He however remains a good-hearted man, but he lay low and do not let his identity as former policeman out in the open

Current standing (where you are, your goals):
Will has heard of some people trying to take matters in their own hands and find a way to better thrive in this crisis, or so were the rumors. Last he heard is that they were hanging out somewhere in the subway, its entrances guarded by their own men. Will has net yet allied himself with the group, but he clearly wants to see who they might be, and join after meeting them. He wishes to help whoever might help him and the others to survive in these dark times, although survival comes first.

Clothing/armor/style:
Black shirt, black jeans, black leather belt, brown tattered leather jacket, brown cowboy hat, black leather boots.
Will has a used light bulletproof vest (appropriate for a police officer) that took a few bullets in the past under his jacket.

Weapons / Abilities:
-SIG SAUER® P226f: Used handgun that sometimes fail due to a recent lack of maintenance. The current magazine size is 14 bullets, all that is left of his ammo. It is usually hoistered on his left thigh.
-Mossberg 590: A shotgun that was used for breaking riots in the earliest days. It shots rubber bullets and shotgun shells alike, but Will has only 3 rubber bullets for this gun to use. Will removed the dangling leather straps and instead holsters the gun in a bag strapped on his back, which looks very muxh like a big map case.
-Taser: An used shocking device that no more than half of its battery remains.
-Knives: Will carried a bandoleer of knives of all sorts: Combat knives, butcher knives, etc. They are all sharpened and ready to be thrown, although Will always keep an 8'' blade strapped on his right thigh for melee combat.

Other:
Will carries a few other accessories, notably a pair of handcuffs, his police notepad used nowadays as a journal, his old police officer badge (hidden in an inside pocket of his jacket along with his notepad) and an old radio that ceased to function.

Will always remains a good-hearted guy, even after the tragedy that happened in the south. However, it brought some questionning as to what he should do from now on. As a police officer, he is quite accustomed to the use of firearms, and his newfound survival instincts drove him to train in the use of throwing knives and using one for melee confrontation. Although not a master in their uses, he's handling himself well with those. He's not a leader of men, but rather follows orders and help those in charge further their goals. Survival comes first, and he will do anything to kepp himself alive, and thus sometimes it brings conflicts between survival and his own values.

Sounds good. I like the realism.

Also, I forgot to write it, Solstice is a giant creature. That's all people know. You'd know it was there, or at least people think they would.

Ammunition is fairly scarce. If you're a knife thrower, just keep in mind that it's hard to hit a Jumper when it's as fast as the Horde.

Additionally, we are not hard to find. Every subway entrance in the entire city is guarded by our men. So if you're looking for us, it's not much of a journey. Edit accordingly if you wish.

And the zombie creature things are now known as Jumpers. The Walking Dead has the term walkers, so I guess we'll use that.

Max, it would be awesome if you'd join. Fishy is Peregrine there, DigDog is DigDog, and Leb is Ieb, I believe.

Ah, so that thread was in fact some sort of an advertisement thread for a RP on another forum, hm? Heck, now I'll have to make another account on another forum just to RP. What's those forums about anyway?

The forums used to be an AQW clan but at some point it stopped being about AQW and about general discussion and gaming. And RPing, I guess. Heck if I know.

The move was done after I told CC that his information(received from Fishtank) of the abundant number of RP'ers here was less than accurate.

I have joined The Regulars three times and they don't validate my account.

I think DigDog is behind it.

Anyways, I will try once again because I love zombie apocalypses and would DIE OF SHAME if I let DigDog's heinous designs come to fruition.
