Sophia is accepted :)Donny is on probation for a couple of reasons: 1) the suit of armor. If it's like Iron Man 1's first suit and built with nothing, but yet can take on a small army, then no. If it's more like a riot suit or made from common items then I will allow it. Issue 2 is that in his foils he is willing to stone a baby, but his personality says he's a good guy. I don't think a nice guy would do such a thing.With that said, I shall get to work on the IC

It's more of a riot suit, with some sheet metal attached to it, with some pointy bits and sharp edges. It's not Ironman Mark One, but for the need to stomp zombies, it'll do. And I said that he was a nice guy, not a good guy. Just because he's polite and generous doesn't mean he can't be brutal, especially if might get killed for trying to "be good". It's a necessary evil. Sure, when you guys meet him he'll speak politely and offer his help. If there's a problem he'd kill it, cause in this world they live in, it's usually the best answer next to running away. In a lighter way, you can say that he's willing to get his hands dirty. Dirty with the blood of innocents if that's what the case may be. It helps that he thinks this is all a game to him; he can redeem himself by killing more bad guys. Of course you guys don't have to think that way, but that's how he does.

TL:DR The guy is crazy, but he's a affable crazy.

[thatguy]

OK he's accepted. The suit I was think of was something similar to Mark 1, but a riot suit is perfect (even Glenn has one :p) thank you for clearing up the issue

[thatguy]

IC is now up :)

[Lucius Cypher]

I have to let you know however, this is the visual basis of the idea:

[thatguy]

Riot soldier base, welding helmet, and the rest could be customized sporting equipment (football padding, jock strap, ext.) But just remember he'll have to have made it within 7 days

[Lucius Cypher]

It comes from one of his older outfits during his LARP days. It was a madmax style Larp, the only additions he made were more spikes and sharp edges. He took this set because it was the lightest that would provide the most protection.

[thatguy]

That makes the best sense

One tiny issue with your intro post Father. In the world of the Walking Dead, prior to the rise of the undead, there was absolutely zero materials about zombies, no movies, books, or video games. So I'd appreciate it if you'd change out the zombie words and the mention of him playing zombie games. Thank you.

[Father]

Fix'd. Apologies.

[thatguy]

You still need to remove the actual zombie words, but I guess it's fine for now

[Lucius Cypher]

Wait, I thought the universe was just set in a world were the movie "House of the Dead" was popularize? I'm fairly certain DnD were still using zombies as a term, and I do remember some obscure videogames about them back before the turn of the century.

[thatguy]

No, in walking dead, Night of The Living Dead was never even thought about in the mind of George Romero. That movie was the birth of the American zombie legend, and thus the world. Without that movie, no other zombie artform would exist, not the word, not the image of an undead loved one, absolutely nothing.

In the walking dead, nobody knew a headshot would put them down for good until the dead actually went down for good, nobody knew it was "more than a bite" that would transform you until it actually happened.

There for, from here on out, nobody uses the word zombie, or references zombie pop culture

[Lucius Cypher]

But the undead was already in DnD stories... I'm almost certain that;s why that fat dude from season two called zombies "Geeks".

[thatguy]

By DnD do you mean Dungeons and Dragons? Night of the Living Dead was WAY before the board game or card game. I believe that geek reference was either a writer slip up or a homage, because that was the only thing I've heard of beyond Walkers and Biters.

[thatguy]

There are 7 accepted characters and only four intro posts, what's the problem people?

[Father]

Hell if I know. I'm actually wondering the same thing.

[thatguy]

I'll give it an extra half day before I pm those who've not posted before continuing the story

[Father]

Alrighty. Hopefully shit'll get back on track soon.

[UncleBob]

i dunno i feel my post is a bit long but i'll probably condense posts later... maybe that's what you guys like but I know every time I see a stupidly long post I die a bit inside....:P
