[quote=@Cleveraptor] ...Out of curiosity, how long between the Pulse and the start of the RP has occurred? [/quote] I'm not your hostess, but I think I can answer that question. Annie's first post IS the moment of the Pulse, Day 1, so I think it just happened. On another note, I decided that my first character will be a National Guard Non-Com who leads his unit to secure horses, a food distribution center, a fueling station, and, of course, their Armory. His storyline will begin as one of peace maker, preventing looting and distributing goods. But as time goes on and the situation worsens, he will become more of a Nathan Hogue character, from "The Postman". He'll get his due in the end, as all dictators do. The question is this: do I put him in/near NYC or Pittsburgh, near one of the current characters for interactive RP? Or do I put him in a different area and write him independently?
