The Walking Dead is a comic, television, and video game series that generally focus on groups of survivors living in the “zombie apocalypse,” a setting where the living members of humanity are outnumbered by the living dead. The society of old has collapsed and what remains of humanity fight to make the most of what remains.

This RP would have little to do with the stories or the characters of the established franchise and more to do with name recognition and the use of the specific rules of that universe, such as that all of those who die without an injury to their brain reanimate no matter what and that the use of the word “zombie” is largely nonexistent. I am willing to drop TWD from the RP's premise if people desire but I don't think it'll really make a difference!

The initial setting for the roleplay would be set in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The RP would take place 18 months into the apocalypse where a community has sprouted up and secured itself for the last couple of months. The community, named “Faith” after the Presbyterian church it’s situated around, is run by a male/female couple and houses about 40-50 people. I have a basic plotline in mind but obviously these types of RPs are more about the characters and their interactions, so nothing is incredibly set in stone. Ideas and input on plot or characters now or down the line is more than welcome.

I'm ready to drop the OOC already actually, just wanted to drum up some interest and see who stops by. Thanks :)

If I have time and get my shit together throughout the remainder of this week and weekend, then sure. Though it depends on other factors, like post speed and length, too. The last TWD RP I joined I genuinely couldn't keep up with as there had been 20+ IC posts in 2-3 days from the time the IC dropped.

Also I should probably ask how grounded in reality you intend this roleplay to be, since I'm not really a fan of decked out military dudes and le edgy samurai sword kids. More power to those who go that route, but it's just different strokes for different people. Running around with just a hammer, 2 random bullets and a can of tuna to your name always appealed more to me than being a bad ass mowing down zombies left and right, to be honest.

I'm on the busy side myself so I probably won't be pushing the speed hard on my end.

I'd like it to be very grounded in reality, truthfully. I was actually going to include a rule about military types as these types of RPs tend to gather a lot of them if you don't put your foot down, haha. I'd probably reject anyone trying to carry around a samurai sword outright.

I'm interested. I'm not busy but I am lazy. LOL I would like to see the plot and CS. I'm not a CS Nazi, I like it cut and dry but a lot of people like it stylized. I'd submit a CS however.

If its a slower haul with serious considerations on quality control, I'd definitely make time for this.

Since the outbreak canonically occurs on September 20th, 2012, does this mean the current year is somewhere in 2013?

man fuck 2013, that's the year i would've just started high school lmao

But yes I have the same question as Ink. Wouldn't it the early months of 2014, though, since its been 18 months since the start?

I was thinking about that. While we don't necessarily have to adhere to TWD canon, it probably doesn't make much of a difference to set it in 2013 vs any other year between then and now. For the sake of character history, we'll just adhere to the canon comic timeline as it's later than the TV series year.

(So, about March 2014 if we add the 18 months)

I think setting it in 2012-2013 adds flavor.

At any rate, considering this information here's one of two ideas I have (I hope two characters isn't too much?):
