APPLICATIONS CLOSED

Theworld had been on a downward spiral for a long time. Whether people blame global warming, capitalism, terrorism or any other excuse, the planet was on its way to self destructing. Countries hated countries, religions hated religions and people hated people. All that was cast aside one fateful day in mid-autumn.

The golden brown leaves floated from their branches on the wind, landing everywhere and anywhere the wind could carry them. The song of summer birds was a distant memory leaving only the sound of the deteriorating weather. The typical overcast British sky looked like an old, decaying blanket, anyone not from the country would be depressed at the sight. The British were used to it being dark and grey, but another colour became prominent on that day.

Red...the streets were coated in the drying blood of people falling victim to the undead. Generations of families wiped out in the space of twenty four hours, only to rise again as a flesh hungry ghoul. Cities and towns became quickly overrun, the shambling masses of dead far outnumbering the small number of police available. The biggest issue was the way they grouped together en mass, making it almost impossible to even drive through the horde without getting bogged down. With the roads jammed and the street full, very few people survived in the cities. Those in the villages were a bit luckier but even so, they were not entirely safe and within twenty four hours the population of the UK had gone from over sixty million to less that one hundred thousand. By the end of the week, less than a thousand living, breathing people remained.

That is where we begin...

Your characters for whatever reason, are knowingly or unknowingly on their way to a quarry in Coalville. The small village is home to a few shamblers but most have already made their way to the nearby city of Leicester, following those fleeing towards the M1. Some of you may have already arrived but no matter, you will soon all call the Quarry home and your journey to find a safe haven will start.
-This is set in the UK.
-Walking Dead rules apply, everyone is infected already, no referring to them as zombies and realism.
-If you get bored of a character of yours and want to kill them off, give me a PM and we can talk about a nice gruesome way for them to die. Then we can talk about a way we can introduce your replacement if you wish to have one.
-I am looking for this to be more about the characters than the shamblers but do not worry, there will be plenty of opportunity to fight the undead.
-Try and create some varied characters, I don't want an entire cast of police, military and Bruce Lee reincarnations. Characters who I think are unique and breaking the mould will be more likely to get "presents" in character.
-Weapons and ammo is scarce, even more so than in the series because of this countries gun laws. When you create your character you will be limited to one fire arm(if you even want one) with only half a full magazine worth of ammo. That does mean a double barrelled shotgun would be a single shell for example.
-On the point above, you can't just happen upon swords, guns and ammunition while roleplaying. I will PM people as and when they can stumble across a weapon. Unique characters get more "presents". Also posts I think are exceptional will result in "presents". Exceptional does not mean downing fifty shamblers with a butter knife, but something that evokes emotion. Even with these criteria met, it'll still be a rarity that people get weapons.
-Other items you can happen upon yourself, such as tools, medical supplies, food etc.
-Nobody is ever going to successfully hit with every single bullet

Georgia has a fear of heights, killing the innocent, and one really odd fear of hers is finding dead children or walker children.

James has Aquaphobia (he has a fear of drowning which prevents him from swimming unless he has absolutely no choice). He also has a mild case of Monophobia (fear of being alone) which has started to grow since the outbreak. And lastly, whilst not really a phobia, James has allergic reactions to bee stings and therefore tries to avoid them.

Also, how do Welshmen find sheep in long grass?

Personality: Very proper, however also just that little bit rough around the edges. As if a reformed personality, born into poverty he was considered a waster until a chance meeting with Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. Since then he has rapidly become wholely devoted to the security of the royal family Mildly schizophrenic he believes himself to be the last knight of the round table and styles himself accordingly. He is incredibly gentlemanly towards woman and violence is only a means of defending oneself, or the honour of a lady. Which in this day and age gets him more scorn than affection for he is adamant about the protection of a womans sensibilities. Not sexist at least in the conventional sense of the word since he holds woman in higher esteem then men.
Theme:

Clothing: A worn out looking standard issue helmet. A British army commando jumper, slightly ragged and combat trousers. A child carrying custom made sling for the prince royal. Black standard issue boots and fingerless gloves

-Fitness: 3)
-Marksmanship: 3

History: Born to a hopeless addict of a mother and an alcoholic of a father. Peter would have been a no hoper had it not been for his chance encounter with the royal family and his keen eye spotting a danger to Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridges life. On saving her he was commended and drafted into the royal guard.. Since then he has accompanied the Duchess throughout most of her engagements. When the Dead arose he was on vacation in the welsh valleys, given a direct order from her majesty to take a break. Which is his only living regret, by the time he got to the house of Windsor Her Majesty and her descendants were walkers. He arrived in time to see the Duchess brutally murdered by her husband and his brother. The Prince Royal was hiding in the kitchen cupboards, Peter wouldn't leave until he had verified and put down all family members that had become walkers. He has a day's worth of medication left he keeps for dire emergencies. Such as the loss of life of the Prince. He likes to think himself the Prince regent as a result of his care of the last known remaining member of the British Royal family.

Companions: His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. Would like to be 11 however if reality is considered he is actually 11 months.
