[center][b]The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined 
Season 4[/b]

CURRENTLY CLOSED
[i]When hell gets full, the Devil lets the dead walk the earth...[/i][/center]

So this is a walking dead style rp. There will be action and gore and zombie killing, but mostly this will be about the twists and turns, the drama, the heartache and the joy of moral decisions that have both good and bad consequences.
Everything you do and say will have consequences further down the line. The walker you killed yesterday was actually the mother of the person you met today. That guy you refused to give food? He came back as a walker and killed your best friend. That little boy you helped? He came back with a large group to steal your supplies. Each choice is life and death. Don't ever get too comfortable, because you never know when things will go to hell.
Of course... it's already there...

And we are entering our 4th season. I can hardly believe it. I am so proud of this rp and of the people who have joined it, becoming not just rp friends but a close knit family. Those who have stuck with me to this point : I love all of you so much. You are the best rp group I have ever had.
Those who are joining now : thank you for wanting to become a part of this. We warmly welcome all newcomers WHO PLAN ON STAYING WITH US. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
The next post will contain a summary of everything that has happened so far in the past 3 seasons along with character lists including NPCs.

Rules :
1. No fighting in the OOC or Chat. I mean it. You get one warning, then your characters gets killed off and you are banned from the rp.
2. No overpowered characters. It's okay to have weapons, but not everyone is survival trained and can make a rocket launcher with a pocket knife, some string and a potato. Be realistic with your characters skills and their weapons.
3. An extension of the above rule-- We won't be accepting more characters with military backgrounds. Characters with medical backgrounds will likely be asked to change as well. To avoid any conflicts it's best that you plan on your character having just being a regular person before the apocalypse hit. Stray from creating characters that have a particularly firearms-related background (Like someone who grew up hunting and is a skilled marksman).
4. Gore is fine, but romance (if there is any during a zombie apocalypse) goes to PM. Anything above kissing goes to PM.
5. Killing of characters must be agreed upon, even NPCs. NPCs without a * next to their name are free to be moved around/controlled, required that their written personality/history is adhered to.
6. All ideas are welcome! If you have any ideas for major plot-related ideas, characters. locations, etc. then please PM either myself or my Co-GM(s).
7. Before making any game changing decisions please pm me to ask or discuss it in the OOC or chatzy before posting it. This does not mean I need to make every decision for you, but MAJOR plot twists need to be approved by either me or my Co-GM(s).
8. You can have as many characters as you can handle. Do not ignore anyone and post regularly. If you can't post for a couple of days, let us know so we can move around your character. If you do not post in the IC or OOC or PM us for a significant amount of time, then your character will be made an NPC and likely become a walker. If you want to return after that, you can make another character.
9. In that same vein, if you've been in the rp for some time and decide you want to go, the option for your character to become an NPC is there in case you ever return. Though NPCs are more likely to be killed off, the character just may be alive when you come back.
10. People will die. It's a zombie survival rp. We ask that you strongly consider ideas for your character's death eventually, even if you don't really wish for them to die. While we will never kill off your character without your consent, no one is likely to survive forever in zombie fiction. Just keep the idea in mind when making your sheet.
11. It might seem strange to have this rule but I have run into problems with this in the past so I am going to say it right off : NO ONE IS IMMUNE. This is not "The Last of Us" this is a "The Walking Dead" rp. There is no cure and there is no immunity to the zombie virus. Everyone already has it. Your character can be working on a cure, but that is all.
12 Please follow the posting rule (see below) If you do not, your post will be ignored.
13. I reserve the right to add more rules if needed.

CS:

Appearance : (please no anime pics. portraits are fine as long as they are realistic)
Name : 
Age :
Skill : (are you good at medicine? cooking? electronics? hunting? marksman? these can be skills acquired after the outbreak)
Preferred Weapons (up to three) : (anything you can realistically have)
Personality : (good and bad points)
Brief Bio : (we are not going to know much about each other at first so only a brief history, such as what they were doing before the outbreak, is fine)

[hider=posting rule]Something I have started doing in my rps and I have found to be extremely helpful in keeping track of everyone and everywhere is a formula to posting : at the top of the post put, in bold, the name of the character you are currently playing, their location and who you are interacting with. For example:
[b]Kim - Bus Stop - Steven[/b]
If you are playing multiple characters in one post, just add their names in:
[b]Kim and Stacy - Restaurant - Each Other[/b]
If there are multiple people in the same place and you don't know who you are interacting with at the moment, broaden the terms:
[b]Kim - Office - Everyone[/b]
This way no matter who replies everyone who is currently in the office knows you might be interacting with them or can start an interaction.

So I know you read this, please comment on it in your first post. Tell me what you think of this posting rule.[/hider]
