Can we have more than one character? I imagine we can make another one if our character dies, but what about two at once? 

Also: Should I go ahead and my characters fighters? If it's anything like the game, with quests and stuff, we're just going to be smashing zombie heads in, right? Or is this more like the trailer? I was thinking of making my character a lawyer or something but someone like her would just stay inside a safe house instead of going out on zombie murder sprees with electrified baseball bats.

I know it's sandboxy. I guess I was just wondering if the RP won't be as fun if I'm not playing a character who can go out and kick some zombie ass to a limited degree.

I will allow multiple characters, yes. Though I would prefer no more than two. Three tops.

And regarding your second question...

Well to begin with, we won’t be using “gameplay mechanics”. Melee weapons wont deteriorate after ten uses (exaggerated sarcasm), day and night cycles will be normal as in RL, and in this RP it is only survival of the fittest. There won’t be “quests” per se, no experience point systems, or skill requirements like in a/the video game.

Hopefully I’m elaborating well enough. Basically; don’t see this as a tabletop “card game”, but rather just writing out a zombie survival story in the [i]Dead Island[/i] universe. Our characters will face challenges of survival and will indeed face important tasks such as finding food and water and establishing a safe house and gathering survivors.

In other words; you’ll be able to kick plenty of zombie ass.
