The Rose Plague

Nobody knows where the infection came from. It was unknown how it spread between the human race and animals. Many believed it was fungus spores spreading through the air, while others believed that it was god’s way of elimating the earth’s population. Anyone was at risk, at any time. They're calling it the Rose Plague, because the boils on the victim's body swell up and burst, only to leave rose shaped scars on the dead. This pandemic hit the Earth and ran wild, with no cure in site. Thousands upon thousands of humans were suffering and dying from this painful death. Many people you once knew died of the plague. A father, a sister, maybe a neighbor, or even a child. Everyone seemed to be touched by this rose infection in some way. Hope was beginning to be lost when things took the worse turn within weeks of the initial infection. The beginning stage of this plague was the boils, but within days of dying, your body would come back. If anyone attempted to kill the infected dead, the body would only burst, causing the surrounding people to become infected too.

The Infected
Little is known about them. We can only give them names. The Roses, Walkers, Pretties, Dead, etc.. (the list goes on). However, we never called them zombies. They were pretty harmless till they felt threaten. They are sensitive to noise and light. The Roses cannot stand bright lights. They tend to go into a bit of a rage if light gets into their eyes. The Roses will attack anything that has light (hint). Noises are a bit different. They tend to depend off of their hearing since they have a problem with light. They are excellent listeners. You make the slightest movement around them, well… your pretty much dead.

They can run. Fast. You better have an escape route if you plan to “out run” one of the Roses. Pain does affect them, but not like you or me. They will get tougher to kill the more times you stab them. They only way to kill the Roses is gunshot to the head, or even a stab into the brains. Be careful, they let out the worse scream, alerting the others. Once you have blood on you, they will track you. You have to be smart about out living these Roses.

They tend to stay in groups. You will have a few stragglers, but that is rare to see. If you see a group, you better kiss your mama goodbye, and hope you have a plan to escape them. The Roses can be pretty dumb too. They tend to go into rage, not thinking there surroundings. You can climb a latter pretty easy, without them following. You can tuck yourself into a corner before they have a chance to find you. They can get violent, but they aren’t the brightest crayon in the box.

Our Story
Our story is in Dallas, Texas. We all come from different backgrounds. We all have came together to create a small community to survive. The National Guard and military have failed us. FEMA camps are still fully stocked with water, food, blankets, and other wonderful supplies. Yet, the down fall is the Roses are filled in those areas. Our mission is to stay alive, and out live the Roses till either a cure is found, or someone comes to save us.

There will be a twist in our story. However, I cannot share that information. That is classified information. If you are interested in surviving the Roses, then please join our group! You must be able to roleplay at lease any two characters. Any age/race/gender is welcomed.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rules

1. This roleplay will be filled with blood, gore, cussing, and death. If youhave any problems with this, this is not for you.
2. No sex. Kissing, some touching is fine, but no full-blown sex scenes. You can imply characters had sex, but do not go into detail.
Note: No Raping or molesting. Huge NO-NO with me. Don’t even imply you raped/molested a character. I will ban you from the roleplay. No questions asked.
3. No god modeling. Period. Imply what your character is doing, and let the other person have a chance to react to what your character did. Do not take over someone else’s character. If you have permission to puppet their character, please let the group know.
4. Don’t be rude. Don’t tease or bully that could hurt someone else’s feelings. Be respectful of others. Be aware of what you say to others.
5. Detail is everything in posting. The more detail you have, the more we can work with and interact with your character.
6. I can and will drop anyone from the group if they don't post, or mention anything in the OOC. It's one thing to keep the Admins informed about why you haven't, and it's another to not post or say anything to anyone. Please be nice and post once in a while.
7. You must be able to roleplay at lease any two characters. Any age/race/gender is welcomed. I cannot stress this enough!

I am so interested in this. This actually reminds me of The Last of Us. By your sig, I see you like that game too and uh, if this is vaguely based on the game, I bet I can guess the plot twist ;)

Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye on this and will probably make two characters quite soon :3

The Last of Us is an amazing game! I adore it. The Walking Dead is also another amazing thing.

I'm almost finished with my first character; I'm trying to make to them to my liking. So hopefully I'll have them up later tonight!

Well, this took longer than I expected! Technically, it's tomorrow for me so I didn't get this here by last night =P I actually don't have Skype. I tried it out and didn't like it. I probably didn't take the proper time to get used to it but I'm not the most patient person in the world... feel free to PM me or whatever! I totally don't mind talking to you :3

Full Name :: "Name's Joanna Ginger Matthews. Call me Jo or Joey."

Date of Birth and Age :: "Does it really matter? ... Well, it's January 9th. I'm thirty-four."

Male or Female :: "I don't think my voice is that raspy. I'm obviously a woman."

Relationship Status before the Outbreak :: "These questions seem really pointless... it doesn't matter what it was like before... ugh, fine. I was engaged, if you must know."

About Yourself before the Outbreak :: "Grew up in a fine Christian home, my momma use to say. Pfft, yeah, right. Daddy sure was old fashioned, if you know what I mean... if you're an idiot and don't, he hit momma. A lot. Sometimes me too but that don't matter. I got out of there like a bat outta Hell when I turned eighteen and didn't look back. Felt bad for momma but... she had her chances to take me and leave and she never did. I came to Dallas, found a new start. Got a job, fell in-love, was gonna get married and be happy. Life... life surprises you, ya know?"

How Did you Survive the Outbreak :: "It... it ain't easy. I went to my daddy's cabin, which wasn't far from Dallas. Stayed there till I ran outta food. Place I knew well was Dallas. Came back here, stuck to the smaller areas, found food where I could and just survived. No one says this but there ain't no trick to surviving. It's all luck. And one day, that luck will run out."

What Weapons do you Have :: "Got a good ol' pistol, a crow bar that has, well, come in handy, and a automatic crossbow. That's kinda my go to."

What is Within Your Bookbag :: "I did have cigarettes, ugh... went through those. I got a roll of bandages and alcohol. Change of clothes. A blanket, a bag of trail mix and deer jerky. And a canteen for water. 100 shotgun shells and 20 rounds for the pistol. If ya must know, I got a separate holder for my bolts which holds 'bout ten, to make life a little easier."

Any Personal Items :: "I got my daddy's lighter... don't use it that often anymore, considerin' I ran out of cigrettes. I... I also wear a necklace that my momma had given me."

What are you Wearing :: "I don't carry many clothes; just takes up more space, ya know. Jeans... always my boots... a t-shirt always with a long-sleeve button-up. Those dead bastards... they get scratchy if you ain't careful."

What you Look Like ::

What Have you Noticed About the Infected :: "They react to sound and bright light... tough fuckers, they are. They... they don't have any memory of who they were before. Killing 'em is doing 'em a favor, trust me."

Have You Noticed Any Physical Changes in the Infected :: "They're fugly, I know that. Become all rotted and dead yet... not. You know, I don't just stand 'round and check 'em out. I just kill 'em if I gotta and move on."

Who Have you Lost to the Infected :: "These damn questions... lost my fiancé and my parents... well, I haven't seen my parents. Maybe they're alive. Honestly? I don't give a fuck. My daddy was an asshole and my momma didn't fight. As far as I'm concerned, the only person I lost was my fiancé."

How Many Infected Have you Killed :: "What the hell does that matter? All I know is that I've killed 'nough to not care as much anymore."

Relationship Status before the Outbreak :: "If you mean like a girlfriend or something... nah, didn't have one."

About Yourself before the Outbreak :: "I was born in New York City... god, I miss it. I had to move to Dallas when I was eight because this was where my dad was and he won full custody of me. I never really liked it here because I barely got to hear from my mom... a few years after moving here, she passed away in a car crash. It sucks, you know? I hadn't talked to her for almost a month... I didn't really fit in here. City boy in a country town. I had a few good friends, made a couple good memories. Then... the outbreak happened and life got a hell of a lot harder."

How Did you Survive the Outbreak :: "My dad tried to eat me. Yeah, surprised the hell out of me too. I managed to kill him with a knife to the head. I didn't really leave the house. We lived more out in the country so I felt safest here. The only time I went out was for food. It... it isn't fun. Not like a video game, let me tell you that."

What Weapons do you Have :: "I have a hunting knife, a handgun... I don't even know what kind. I taught myself how to shoot and reload it. It wasn't easy."

What is Within Your Bookbag :: "Let's see... a tarp I use as a blanket. Change of clothes. A basic first aid kit. A coffee thermos I use for water. A few cans of beans and a bag of sunflower seeds. 50 rounds for the gun... those are sort of important, aren't they?"

Any Personal Items :: "Uh, a silver ring my mom gave me... said her grandma gave it to her... I always wear it on my left middle finger."

What are you Wearing :: "I try to keep it simple. I mean, who am I looking good for, right? Always jeans and boots, plain t-shirts. Loose clothing isn't a good idea. That's... that's just asking to be grabbed."

What you Look Like ::

What Have you Noticed About the Infected :: "I usually try to avoid them. They are always in groups and they're fast. It's... really scary. I've seen a couple off by themselves and they really hate bright light... I learned that the hard way."

Have You Noticed Any Physical Changes in the Infected :: "They're... rotting. Like a corpse. But somehow still walking around. It's actually really intriguing. But more scary so I don't bother with trying to see the science side of it. If there even is one."

Who Have you Lost to the Infected :: "My dad... my friends... almost my life, a few times. You know, with everything that has happened... it makes you realize how fragile life really is."

How Many Infected Have you Killed :: "I don't count. I don't want to count, it'll only make me feel more guilty. I've killed enough to know I don't want to keep doing it but... whatever to survive, right?"

Reserving this!

This ought to help me push this work faster! I'm sorry!

I have been thinking hard, plus managing another RP as co-GM. Not impossible to manage my time though, I hope you give the chance. :)

Edit: Done! Please do tell me if you think this needs revision. I will adjust appropriately.

*****************************


Full Name: “My name is Allison To Hoi Ying, but you may call me Allie.”

Date of Birth and Age: “My sister and I were born 5 minutes apart, before and past midnight, believe it or not! So I was born on the 25th of May, 1994 and my sister 26th. So I’m 19.”

Male or Female: “I’m female, yes.”

Relationship Status before the Outbreak: “I never really had anyone besides my parents and sister but I suppose that’s not what you’re asking for.”

About Yourself before the Outbreak: “I was kind of the more sensitive one, between my sister and I. I was a nerd; at the top of my class with a few prestigious awards here and there. My dad was a civil servant and our family lived a joyous middle class life, I guess you could say. There were plans for me to go beyond and over with scholarships of academic excellence… I suppose none of it matters now, but I still like to delve in thought of my old life every now and then.”

How Did you Survive the Outbreak: “Being an important civil servant, our father had privileges of safety and we were being brought to a safe place, so we were told. On the way, just before we reached the highway, we were attacked and the van was toppled over by those things... Our parents… were gone with the initial crash.

Millie saved us. She was tougher and knew what was doing, in some sort of sense. She was good at self-defense and we managed to fight and outsmart the Infected within the shade and silence. We’ve been running ever since.”

What Weapons do you Have: “I personally like to travel light, think of my feet and flee rather than fight. I have a Swiss army knife, the tiny thing. Millie found a fireaxe for me, but I dislike it. I do have a pistol though, but I could still use some practice with it.”

What is Within Your Bookbag: “I bring along our camping site supplies. We like to move, so I have our sleeping bags and some rope. My own water bottle and set of clothing are in it as well. We haven’t found much ammunition for our guns.”

Any Personal Items: “Millie and I have necklaces our mom and dad gave us when we were 1… We’ve held it dear ever since, the last and only thing that we have left of them.”

What are you wearing: “We keep it simple; tight and fitting clothing. I personally avoid anything bright-coloured anymore, and most of what I wear is either black or green. No skin is exposed, save the face.”

What you Look Like: This was us on our 16th birthdays. That was a fun day. I’m on the right.



What Have you Noticed About the Infected: “Arbitrary placements and movements, really. They are either bunched up or singled out and alone. Both are equally scary. They react violently to light and sound, but really they react to anything.”

Have You Noticed Any Physical Changes in the Infected: “There are variations in sizes but some of them have gross protrusions. They also… smoke, somehow.”

Who Have you Lost to the Infected: “…everyone.”

How Many Infected Have you Killed: “I don’t know. I really don’t want to know.”

***************


Full Name: “My name is Millie. Millison To Fok Sung.”

Date of Birth and Age: “The date is deceiving. Allie and I are twins, but we were born around midnight. Allie was on the 25th, I was on the 26th. May, 1994, anyway, so I’m 19.”

Male or Female: “Can you like, not, like, tell, like, by, like, my, voice? Urgh.

Female.”

Relationship Status before the Outbreak: “I had boys after me, but none ever impressed me. It was just my sister and me.”

About Yourself before the Outbreak: “If my sister was the studious type, I was the active, outgoing one. I was a cheerleader who kept up with her studies. I took up taekwondo. It doesn’t show, yeah? Anyway, I was the tough to my sister’s gentle. Were we not twins, I’d be the older sister looking after the little one.”

How Did you Survive the Outbreak: “We were supposed to be taken to a secure area, my dad being a politician of some sorts. Needless to say they caught us in our van. I literally had to fight our way out of the road and take my sister to safety. Together we combined our knowledge to survive. We were careful like that.

My sister even took notes on maps. Goodness. But yes, we stayed together. It took a bit for Allie to shake off that shock and realize that our life of ease and decadence was over. We needed each other.”

What Weapons do you Have: “I have these two pistols. My sister has one so that makes three, technically. I also have a switchblade.”

What is Within Your Bookbag: “I have our medical supplies; some alcohol and bandages. I have our maps and a compass. We like to move fast, so we’re light for what it’s worth.”

Any Personal Items: “I’m sure Allie told you about our necklaces.”

What are you Wearing: “Whatever she’s wearing, really. She chooses what we wear and I adjust. Never loose clothing, never bright, never worn out. I’m wearing a boy’s polo right now.”

What you Look Like: “I believe she’s shown you our picture already, but anyway. I’m on the left.”

What Have you Noticed About the Infected: “They’re vicious for their lack of a brain. They rot and they migrate almost together. We tend to stray away from major cities because that’s where they just like to gather. Human flesh is that appealing, I guess.”

Have You Noticed Any Physical Changes in the Infected: “My sister pointed out the growths on their bodies. We stay especially away from those.”

Who Have you Lost to the Infected: “… everyone.”

How Many Infected Have you Killed: “Kind of a gruesome question, there. We’ve killed some, we left some. We’d rather live another day than risk our lives killing off a horde.”

I love the twin idea! Your accepted. The only thing I ask about the twins is if you are going to write them together, us two different font colors OR write each twins post separate from each other. That way we aren't going to get confused.

Just like flightless-angle, we need to figure out how we all are going to run in together. I use to live in Dallas, so I know most areas. :)

*************
Reminder: This is a slow RP. Please take your time. I do not require you to post as much, but please try to post at lease 1-2x's a week. I am in College Algebra and Human Anatomy. Two top hardest classes at my college. @.@ Ya.. its not fun! If anyone would like to be a Co-GM to help out, let me know. I am open for suggestions too.

If you feel changes need to be made in the story, characters, or how things are run.. just say something. :) We are all here to have fun, and I am sure no one wants this to fall through! I am excited to get this started with you guys!

Yay, acceptance! Well, assuming they're all running around the same area, I'm pretty sure they'll bump in to each other eventually. Just randomly happening upon each other doesn't seem too far-fetched to me. I actually live in TN so I know nothing about TX! I've always wanted to go, though.

Oh, college, not fun lol. I'm pretty cool with how everything is going so far. Excited to get started, of course, but I try to be a little patient.

I'm pretty flexible; it really doesn't matter to me. Considering we're all in the same area, could just start wandering around and possibly bump into one another. My characters haven't even met and I was gonna have them meet that way (if the beginning made it possible). But no, I'm pretty okay with whatever.
