In the year 2016, human kind had progressed and flourished with their science seeming to have no limitations. There were typical first world problems, but now there were many dramatic changes that have even shaped us as a species. Now, genetic alterations and animal like experimentation have kicked up and spread like a forest fire, taking many people and turning them to anthromorphic animals whether voluntary or involuntary. Life was pretty normal other than that climactic change and it seemed many more were to come, many that could make man live in peace and tranquility.

Trumbull Valley, one of the many counties stretched across the United States. It had been eleven days since everything had changed, when the outbreak occurred. Nobody knows what caused it yet, some say it was a disease, others say some mistake in some lab, heck... Some folks think it's the wrath of god. Whatever it is, we're on our own. The radio broadcasts have stopped four days after all hell broke loose. Now, good will and humanity will be put to the test against survival and life.

Well hello ladies and gentlemen! Welcome! Welcome to Cartwright's State of Decay inspired RP! This section will focus on some quick ground rules to ensure we all have an understanding of how to conduct ourselves.

!Rules!
1. No arguing, flaming, or any of that hate on this OOC. If there is an issue confront your local GM and or CoGM to resolve it!
2. No God modding, and no gary/mary sues gibberish whatever. Your character has skills! But they are NOT the all knowing being sent to this earth.. That's where teamwork might come into play!
3. The posts will be limited in most situations. No 1x1s please.
4. There can and might be a fear factor in place for this RP. You got flesh eating psycos and mutated nightmares to deal with. Be afraid :3
5. I as the GM shall claim the GM Spot and say I have the ability to alter/change/you know.. Enforce ze rules!
6. Any Ideas will be taken! Just PM then or pop them up in the OOC ^.^
7. There are side characters, but lets limit it to two main characters per profile.
8. Military characters will be allowed. But let me know if you make one I must give you the background information of what our army is up to ^.^






VOTE: Should we use characters from State Of Decay or create an entirely new character base?

I feel a new character base might be more fitting, as some of us might not be too familiar with the main cast (yes, including me XD). We could have them cameo though, if they are situated in the same township. Just a thought :P

Edit: Are there also your traditional, shambling, bullet-catcher zombies to contend with?

yay~
I shall have a character up sometime tomorrow probably~

OH yeah. There are. Those freaks are a problem too!

Cool, gotta party tonight, so I'll prob's get something up right now, or late tomorrow, depending how hung over I am :P

Take your time dudes. Take your time.

I've never played State of Decay, so I can't say I'm familiar with anyone in the game. However, I think its always best to have an entirely new cast when basing an RP off of something. Cameo's are always cool though, even though in this case I have no idea who's who since I haven't played it xD

EDIT: But I'm cool with whatever you decide.

I guess we will do new characters! OH and there's one freak I left out.. I'll put it in whenever you spot it ^.^

Well don't just do it on my account, this is a vote and I hardly think my vote counts for like, ten :P
If it does, well then, you just became my new favorite person! :D

...that's probably not a good thing, by the way~ >:D

Meh. I should get to bed. I'll have my character up sometime tomorrow morning/afternoon. Have I already said that?...I have haven't I. I need sleep.

May I join?

We are open at this time

If I did anything off let me know, I have no problems making adjustments.

Voilà. Tell me if there any problems.

Name: Jeff Ryan

Age: 20

Race/Species: Human

Appearance:

Starting Equipment:


Occupation: Unemployed, mother's house dweller, airsoft player, COD fanatic, lazy bum.

Skills:
-Crack Shot
Due to his numerous airsoft excursions, Jeff has become quite the good shot. At least, he thinks he is. The reality is uncertain.
-Gun Nut
Jeff has quite a good knowledge of numerous guns, thanks to his huge collection of FPS games. As if that helps much.
-Fast Reflexes
As mentioned before, Jeff did a lot of airsoft, and that somehow makes him have better reflexes...?

Location: Formerly at his (and his now deceased (?), somewhat rotting but somehow still standing mother's) house, now for some reason or another heading towards Mt. Tanner, because, hey, why the hell not?

If I read that correctly, Anthro characters used to be human, but through some mutation thing they became Anthros, right? Just getting my information straight~

It is a genetic alteration. You could be born into it from an anthro mother or you yourself could have been human and turned.

Name: Jenna Delany
Age: 20
Race/Species: Arctic fox


Starting Equipment:
-One of her fathers many guns, a Smith & Wesson M&P45 .45 Caliber with functional suppressor.
-A heavily used replica Katana.
-Flashlight
-Backpack filled with some essentials. Water bottles, food, extra ammo, first aid kit.

Occupation: Before things got FUBAR, she was a college dropout who had a job as a DJ at a club. Basically, she wasn't going anywhere fast with her life, So the apocalypse was kinda a good thing for her.

Skills:
Gun Knowledge: Knows a decent bit about guns that her father taught her at a young age. Not an expert, but can clean, maintain, and repair gun with relative ease.
Acute senses: Since she was turned, she's had a better since of smell and hearing. She can't hear a whisper a mile away, but she can hear and smell better than the average human.
Physically Fit: Her father made sure she got her exercise when she was growing up, a habit that stuck with her even if she's not that active otherwise. She's no hulk, but she's in good shape and can run for a good bit and hit relatively hard.
Stealthy: While she's been constantly moving between safe places for the past week, she's picked up on some tricks to moving unheard and unseen by the zombies. She's no expert, but she can move silently enough without attracting attention, and kill zombies with some ease while remaining unseen.

Location: Jenna was visiting at her parents house when things started to go to hell. It was a fairly spacious two story house, and was a pretty defensible place with a brick wall and a fence around the perimeter and a two car garage. Her father who used to be a U.S. Marine had a thing for collecting guns and stockpiling ammo, and Her mom had a thing for collecting swords. Yeah, her family was on the weird side. She used to think she was the normal one, until she got turned into a walking fur coat.

She was going to try and live there and hide from the hoard, at least until her parents got back. By herself though, that was a difficult task and after three days, they got in. She managed to escape mostly unscathed, but sustained a few injuries on her left arm and shoulder. Since then, she has been trying to avoid the zombies and find a new place to settle down, at least for awhile.

Welp, there she is~
I have an idea for a second, non-anthro character I'll put up later.

Alright! I will be happy to announce all three characters are past the gates! I will PM you guys some things.your.characters might know ((vehicles, lootable areas, etc.))

Awesome~
I have to go for a bit but I'll try to have my second character up soonish.

Name: Cristoph Adler
Age: 30
Race/Species: Human


Starting Equipment:
- A 3032 Tomcat Inox, concealed in his coat.

Occupation: Biologist and Doctor he ran a clinic in town. He also did freelance work for some very high-paying clients that weren't always of the upstanding sort...

Skills:
Medical Expertise - He's an experienced physician, and knows how to heal most injuries and treat most sicknesses.
Intelligence - Quite smart, he has a wide repertoire of knowledge about many subjects.
Creative - He can come up with a solution to just about any problem you have. Just don't expect him to build it or do anything other than tell people what to do.
Physically inept - He's not exactly what you would call fit. Don't expect him to be much help in a direct fight.

Location: At the start of it, he was tending to a few patients at his clinic. A hospital is not exactly a place you want to be at during a Zombie outbreak, and this was no different. Most of his patients had already turned by the time he escaped. With some quick and creative thinking though, he managed to escape unscathed. He made it home, where he discovered his wife was already dead. He hasn't left since, but thanks to dwindling supplies he has no choice but to leave now.

And there he is~
Meant to edit that into my other post, meh, oh well.
