A TOO REAL WORLD

RP Yourself in a Zombie Apocalypse!

The gist of it

(Copied from the interest check)

Introduction

The bar room, dark but for a small, dirty electric lamp hanging loosely from the roof. The taste of dust and smoke fills the air. The room looks like something from some old crime film; Shaded red and brown, bathed in deep orange, with four barstools lined up, where poor and rich drunkards alike found a home. It doesn't feel that secure.

The others in the room. Many a face of torment, the events happened so fast. How could a virus spread so fast in two days. Everyone looks rather shaken, some more than others.

It doesn't look like there's anyone left to come in, someone shuts the leaning doors, the slight wind helps push them to land with a thump.

An awkward silence fills the room.

The only sounds left are the heavy breaths of worn out lungs, and distant sounds of conflict.

The silence lasts... a minuet... ten... twenty...

"So, um, do you guys. Have any idea what we should do." The scrawny, blond boy speaks with a tremble; breaking the silence. He is met with a hush murmur of voices.

Someone else speaks, they introduce themselves...

Characters

As you know. The character is you. I understand how this is a bit edgy on the internetz, to reveal details about yourself, but try your best to fill in what you want.

DON'T FEEL FORCED INTO FILLING OUT A SEGMENT YOU DOWN'T WANT TO, JUST LEAVE IT BLANK AND NO QUESTIONS WILL BE ASKED.

Things probably needed.

- Name (Can just be first name, or better first name and initial of sir-name.)

- Age (Can be vague, eg. early 20s.)

- Appearance (No need to hide too much here unless you really want too, this includes clothing.)

- Physicality (How strong / fast / resistant to pain you are, honesty is key here if you want to really feel immersed)

- Personality (At least four lines please, none of this "talk to me to find out")

- Lifestyle (What country were you born, How was school for you, What jobs have you had and basically How have you lived life.)

- Why you're here? (What brought you to the united states of America, a job?, school trip?, visiting relatives? Make this bit up!)

- Skills (What can you do, cooking? good with computers? Combat experience? Another part that will need some honesty)

- Possessions (What did you have on you when you dived into the bar? Make this something you realistically carry with you. No rocket launchers.)

FAQ

Interested! Please please please I make my CS ASAP I wanted a zombie RP for so long and this looks very well made!

Hi guys, I won't do myself a character sheet right now as it is rather late here, but just to break the ice a bit here's a bit about myself.

My real name is Casper G, I am a 16 year old graphics student from england who works at a chip shop. I have short spiky blond hair, and blue eyes. Oh, and I also have a mono-brow that will appear if I don't keep shaving it :) .

I think that I would actually be fairly helpful in a zombie apocalypse. Not that I'm good at fighting or very strong or athletic. Just that I think I can keep my cool quite well. I would still probably be the one at the back of a fight, but I think (like to hope) I would be helping the injured get to safety rather than simply cowering in a corner.

So theres a bit of what were doing here. Don't feel freaked out by sharing, but also don't feel pressured into sharing too much.

- Name Genesis J.

- Age Mid-Teens [ 16 ]

- Appearance Genesis is a teenager around 5'11, coming from African American descent. He has what would be considered a short, neat 'fade' type of haircut, with sharp, arching eyebrows and light brown eyes. He generally wears whatever he finds in his closet or dresser, but, at the specific time of this role-play, he wears a simple gray t-shirt, jeans, dark gray and black sneakers, and a black and white Nike hoodie over it.

- Physicality He is lean, yet with a defined and athletic build from the brief time he played football in his freshman and sophomore year, and home exercise. Genesis runs pretty fast due to reasonably long legs and good stamina, and has about the normal amount of strength you'd expect from a teenager with the above physicality.

- Personality Talk to me and find out. Haaah, kidding. Well, Genesis is a pretty cool-headed guy once you meet him. Laidback and a bit quiet, mainly because he doesn't really find a reason to talk unless he's with his friends. Generally level-headed, he is a shrewd person, and is quick to react to any situations regarding him. Although he can seem a bit...stoic or whatever, he actually has a kind heart, and just likes to keep busy with something so that he doesn't feel awkward and useless. His patience can run out pretty fast, despite seeming calm, and when his temper runs out, he could be very aggressive. However, despite a dry and often dark humor that usually only gets shared with his friends, or when he feels the need to crack a joke, Genesis is the type of guy who you would see as independent. He has tough skin and is used to hard-work.

- Lifestyle Born in America, Genesis had a pretty...well, not rough life, but he had to work a lot to get money to hang out with friends, and he never really had a silver-spoon - not even a tin spoon, honestly. This has made him a bit callused and non-sympathetic with lazy and weak people, but eh. He mow yards, works in barns and fields, and whatever odd job he can get for some cash, as long as it isn't illegal - his mom ain't raise him like that, after all.

- Why you're here? It was actually a trip with his JROTC district, as they were visiting Chicago to see some of the aviation museums they offered.

- Skills Well, Genesis isn't a trained ninja or whatever, if that's what you're asking. Other than physical athleticism, he's very self-independent, and has fast reflexes. He can usually learn something if you give him time and silence. Due to writing short stories and RPing, he has very nimble fingers, which lets him do some sleight-of-hand tricks. He also has a tough stomach, and can handle some hunting rifles due to, surprise surprise, hunting in the country. He hates bows, though. Freaking sucks at it. Give him a baseball bat or something to hit someone with, and he can do it, though. That doesn't require much skills - just a steady hand and decent eyesight.

- Possessions His black and bronze New Orlean Saints backpack, which is pretty light-weight. It has some snacks, a lighter, some water, and his housekeys.

Ahh! I'm only 14 XD

Haha, oh man we're gunna die.

Edit: Since I already posted a selfie on here for that Spam selfie thread thing, imma add a pic 'cause why not.

- Name: Austin

- Age: 17

- Appearance: Short, dark dirty blonde hair, gelled up in the front. Grey eyes, slightly pale complexion. 6'2, 153 pounds. Toned but not all that buff and bulging. Broad shoulders, slim body type. Wearing leather jacket, white under armour shirt, dark jeans, and a pair of nike running sneakers. (Plus neon batman spandex and black nike socks if you must know).

- Physicality: Strong but definitely not the strongest by any means, unless some serious adrenaline. Bench maybe 200, squat 300, etc. Most of strength is core, legs, and upper body. Pretty fast, however, conditioned and experienced runner (damn coach) long legs help too. Tolerant to minor pain but a broken bone of something of that severity would probably be painful. Not the most durable person, gets cuts and bruises often but usually nothing major.

- Personality: A nice guy for the most part, at least on first introduction. Tries to make friends and not piss too many people off. Although he can be a sarcastic asshole, at this point, he'll bite back his tongue if need be. He'd rather be charismatic and try to make friends then get killed or stabbed in the back. Natural flirt, as a teenager usually is. Tries to talk his way out of things and might lie or be deceitful. Intelligent for the most part but sometimes lacks common sense and says the stupidest shit. Mature for his age, but still growing and learning obviously.

- Lifestyle: United States. School has been stressful but somewhat enjoyable, plays on football, volleyball, and basketball teams at his school. Worked with his dad as a mechanic, only really grasping the basis of it and more or less learned the driving part very well. Also, worked with his step dad as a contractor, but again, caught very little of it. Over 4.0 GPA, quite intelligent, wants to go to law school to work as a lawyer and further himself in the political world. Classes are AP physics, calculus, Spanish, choir, gym, AP gov and politics, Honors British literature, and global studies. Also in school choir, musical department, film club, D&D club, and debate club.

- Why you're here?:Looking at nearby law schools and visiting a nearby campus for college, drove there because it's only a few hours drive to Chicago.

- Skills: Fairly decent at understanding technology, learned basic self-defense and boxing, has shot a gun on multiple occasions, although not a master at it, better than average. Great at videogames, volleyball, basketball, football (If those help in a zombie apocalypse) and used to play soccer. Natural at driving (got it from his dad). Able to sing fairly well and play guitar. Good at cards and other similar games. Strong swimmer. Great at hacky-sack. Problem-solving skills. And a trained professional at eating and sleeping.

- Possessions: Car keys, a wallet with a credit card, 200 dollars, a gamestop giftcard, and a driver's license, an iPhone 5c, a small pocket knife, and a pack of gum.

It looks real interesting, but I have too many roleplays right now, and I think I might even start dropping some of those. I'll be watching, if you guys ever need to find a lone survivor or something.

- Name: Jessica

- Age: 16

- Appearance:



I'm half Chinese and half Caucasian. 5'3" tall and weight approx 120 lbs. My upper body is thin, but my lower body is more muscled. I usually wear a tank top or t-shirt under a light zip up jacket that's either grey or black. Usually said jacket has holes, though the current one has black acid stains from Chemistry class. I prefer to wear jeans, or jean shorts in hot weather and converse or flip flops depending on the weather as well.

- Physicality: I'm not brutally strong, but since I take taekwondo I'm in fairly good shape. My technique is more effective in bringing force than my muscles. In general, I can push myself to pretty great lengths if I have the motivation. In terms of running, I can either run rather fast in short bursts or slowly for a long time. As compared to others I can run very well on uneven surfaces and can rock climb fairly well due to many fall and summer breaks spent in Colorado. Plus, due to many years of dance, I'm very flexible, but my flexibility is slowly retreating because of my lack of stretching.

- Personality: I'm an INTP who views the big picture when it comes to work and effort. However, if I find something fun and exciting, I tend to gravitate towards it despite the consequences. I have an overall pessimistic view of the world, believing that all problems could be solved with the eradication of the human race. I tend to be a tad violent and rough with my friends, but am polite to strangers. In terms of romance, I'm not the kind of teenager to go around dating, but instead am waiting for the right time and person to bump into me. Plus I'm quite a bit sassy and sarcastic at times and never discriminate when it comes to insulting others, all in good fun, though. Maybe. For the most part. I can also be very forgiving and laid back

- Lifestyle: I was born in Omaha, Nebraska and have lived in the same house my whole life. My mother has a very Asian mind set, creating a lot of pressure for me. Usually I barely need to try when it comes to school work, but ever since high school my grades have been dropping. I'm currently enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program. My HL (higher level) classes are English, Chemistry, and Math while my SL (standard level) classes are History, Spanish, and Biology. My extra classes are Psychology and Choir. I'm still unsure of what I will study in college or the college I will be going to. However, I'm leaning towards the Biochemical area. Perhaps a Biochemical engineer?

- Why you're here?: I live in America, but I'm in Chicago because my parents wanted to go on college visits, and Chicago isn't too far away. Plus my mother likes the China Town in Chicago.

- Skills: I'm a green advanced belt in taekwondo, however my "dojo" (I use this term lightly) also teaches aikido, jujitsu, judo, pressure points, joint locks, and basically most major forms of Martial arts including a bit of weaponry. I can cook fairly well as long as I have a recipe, and I'm also very musically talented. My writing skills are pretty good, and my art skills are decent if given enough time. I'm also a stealth master, after an entire childhood of sneaking around, one learns the tricks of the trade.

- Possessions: Motorola moto GG phone, Doctor Who lanyard with keys, Wallet (Contains ID, recipets, $10 gift card to Starbucks from last Christmas, approx, $50 in cash, and anb old ticket to a basketball game), a black cheap bokken that at least looks pretty, a 3 ft cylindrical wooden pole approx 1 cm in diameter, a blue and silver USB drive, and a large black backpack filled with school supplies, wrappers, some junk food, and a TI-Nspire calculator. Honestly, though, I've been eyeballing some sweet melee weapons such as a double hook sword, a deer horned knife, and a saber claw.

I've read three books on what to do and not do during a zombie apocalypse, including but not limited to, information about the best kind of weapons, how to travel, clothing do's and do not's, etc.

By the way, semiautomatic rifles would be best for a zombie apocalypse, if they keep going until they're completely disabled, or the brains are dead. Automatics encourage unleashing hell, and doing relatively nothing- while handguns require you to be at close range, which is scary and will force you to be even closer because you'll probably miss.

Flamethrowers are crap. They'll keep walking until they have no muscle or they go out.

Acids and stuff are just generally no-no.

Axes, hatchets? Bad idea. Baseball bats, the blunt side of an axe, sledgehammers? Good idea. Swords and blades can get stuck- good old fashioned whackers are less likely to. Something simple would be required, though, easy to clean, easy to carry, easy to keep in fairly good shape.

@Knight of Doom
Oh hey, another person who likes science! Coolio! I'm thinking about going into Chemistry as a chemist or if I think I can do it, into Astrology but thats a long shot xD

[Yeah I'll just disappear now, bai]
[not sure why i typed this but yeah]

@CandiBarr
Maybe I'll join purely for the feels as you try to help my oh-so-depressed self that is even more depressed at the fact that he's gonna die

@CandiBarr
/me will show how murderous he is once he has a M14, a long-handled forging hammer, and a M1911.

@BubbleGumKing
Ah, sweet. I'm pretty much a giant nerd when it comes to biology. Plus, who can go wrong with experiments? Or blowing stuff up? Or dangerous chemicals?

@Knight of Doom
Quantum physics says that there can be two of you that are literally the exact same. If one were to get cut, the other would be cut.

Quantum physics also means that seeing the past is plausible.

Quantum physics also means that telepathy is possible.

Quantum physics is love.
Quantum physics is life.

This looks interesting! I think I'll keep an eye out!
