Survival is a four letter word. Hope.




2018. The year the world went to shit. It started out with the sudden outbreaks of the Zika virus and HIV. Governments fought over the small supply of vaccines to keep their people safe. Civil wars broke out in between the economic classes, the lower classes fighting for the vaccines kept only amongst the upper.

It was only weeks after this that the first true zombies were sighted. Most people thought it was a hoax and went about their daily lives in absolute ignorance. But the threat grew bigger. South America was overrun in days, the mystery virus spreading like wildfire amongst the people. Then it came up though Mexico and into the States. Just East, the virus had taken the majority of Africa and Asia, beginning to seep it’s way into Europe.

The virus hit the Canadian a few days after New York fell to the undead. Cities were turned to ghost towns overnight and many people lost their lives to the hordes of reanimates. Cars were abandoned in favor of fleeing on foot, leaving the freeways unpassable by vehicle.

It has been one week since the mass evacuation and the only hope is that the transmission being broadcast on all channels is still true. A military safe zone, 100km North. Your fate will be determined by your actions.



Overview:


This is a mainly character and driven roleplay. Your choices will have a direct impact on the storyline. Player characters can die if stupid choices are made. I will not hesitate to kill off a character if you give me a reason to. That being said, I will not go out of my way to do so. I am running this because I enjoy the freedom that this setting gives people to roleplay, and it allows for some awesome character development.

In this roleplay you will be deciding the fate of your character(s) and following their new life in the zombie apocalypse. We will be starting the day before Day Zero. This allows for interesting RP as we get to see the characters struggling to cope with the reality of what’s happening to their world around them.

It is set in May 2018, beginning in the city of Toronto in the great white North (Canada, for those who live under a rock). Given the area and time that we’re starting in, I expect people to cohere to the environment. Canada in May, you can expect temperatures in the range of 10-20 Celcius (50-65ish Fahrenheit) mixed in with a fair amount of rain.

The first post for each character will be similar to a normal day in their lives, three months before the initial outbreak. This serves two purposes. One, it allows for a decent introduction of the character itself, and two, it allows us to see the starting point of the character’s morality and values. After that we will skip to Day Zero, marking the fall of the last organised governments. Characters will begin somewhere in the Greater Toronto Area, though where that is will be up to you. The GTA is not only city areas, so you are not limited in that aspect. It is intended that players will not be running solo throughout the whole RP. You may form groups before the start of the RP, but please update your CS when you do so that I may add them to the main OOC page.



Rules and Expectations:


- Standard guild rules apply above all else.

- Co-GM’s word is law, GM’s word is absolute final.

- The rules may seem harsh, however I consider myself a decent and fair person. I will respect each and every one of you the same until you give me a reason not to. If you are honest with me and don’t try and take advantage of me, we will get along just fine.

- This is a high casual to low advanced level RP. While I don’t want to set a minimum writing requirement, I do not want to see one liners. Two to three detailed paragraphs is sufficient as long as it’s not all dialogue, more is always welcome. Grammar wise, as long as it’s decently legible you’re fine.

- It is expected that if you write a CS for this and it is accepted that you are committing yourself to this RP fully. If you are the kind of person that hops into an RP and bails a few posts later because you lost interest, don’t join. That being said, I’m not expecting a rapid rate of posts. Take your time, put detail into your writing. One post per week is sufficient. There may be periods where activity is low, there may be times where people are pumping out multiple posts per day. I intend for this RP to go on for quite while.

- On the topic of post frequency. Try not to double post (and I’m not referring to accidents or forum bugs). Allow around three other posts after your own before you post again. This allows a fairly balanced view of the group, and not clusters of certain people.

- Rock solid posting rules. Do not spam OOC. Do not @mention people in the IC, reactions should be based on the player reading all the posts (Credit to @Lady Amalthea for this one). If I see that you’re not posting in this RP, but you’re active elsewhere on the Guild, I will boot you and kill off your character.

- Characters, keep em real. No person is absolutely perfect. People are flawed, RP it out that way. It makes for a more interesting and immersive experience. Your character will not land every shot on target every time, nor will they be perfect at every survival skill. This is not an action hero roleplay, your character may get injured. You are not invincible. If you RP it that way, I will take action.

- Any arguing or so called “debates” will have to go the PM. I will not tolerate any slander or any name calling in the OOC. It is supposed to be a friendly-zone where everyone can discuss whatever they want whether about the roleplay or real life. There is a strict “Three Warnings then You’re Out” system enforced by both me and the Co-GM’s. It is self-explanatory. Don’t be an asshat.

- There are no language or gore filters in place. It’s gonna get messy. This IS NOT for the faint of heart. For the romance stuff, keep it PG-13. If you feel the need to go further, fade to black on the forums. I do not care if you continue it on Skype or Chatzy or whatever, but keep it off of the forums.

- If you’re expecting to be fighting zombies in every post, with massive firefights and lots of gore, this isn’t the RP for you. There will be down times with no action whatsoever, but where character development and interaction is everything. There will be other dangers like lack of food, the cold and other people. Don’t get me wrong though. When we do see zombies, the shit will hit the fan.

- Do NOT post a Work-In-Progress CS here, only final ones.

- Pleading ignorance to the rules is not a valid excuse and I have no tolerance for it. I will kick you from the RP if you try this on myself or the Co-GMs.



This is not a first come first serve roleplay. When you submit your CS I will review it, I will look at your past roleplaying history on the guild, and if you are new to RPing with me I may ask for a writing sample. Only after all of this checks out will you be accepted into the RP. Take your time with the CS.

As well, I want to see an at least somewhat gender balanced cast. If you're making two characters, it's one male and one female please. Any special requests can be PM'd to me.



CS Template




**Post your CS on the OOC page for approval. Anyone placing unaccepted characters into the Characters tab will not be considered for this RP. Do not post work in progress CS's in the OOC thread, only finished ones.**

Anyone applying, I want to see a somewhat balanced gender cast. If you're making two characters, its one male and one female. Two characters per person.

This will be added to the main post soon.

I have a character I can revamp later tonight. I'm not in my home country for this next month, but I should have an internet connection. It's been a while since I did a public and group roleplay, but I think I'll be able to get back into it without much adjustment, if that's okay, Chaotic?

Of course. As long as you think you can keep up with the posting requirements, I'd love to have you.

@agentmanatee@SgtEasy

Both characters are accepted. I can see a wealthy diversity of characters developing, I think we're gonna have an awesome time. Feel free to post them in the characters tab.

This looks very good! Question though - will the characters be apart or will they be grouping up together?

I'm hoping to have two or three groups to start, with some potential solos.

I think I can do one per week or more. I tend to be more focused when I do a group because strangers are watching. XD
